Increased nails allow you to realize the most diverse ideas in the art of "Neil-art." In this kind of art everything is limited only by the imagination and skill of the master. By "nail art" is meant not only the decoration and painting of nails, but also the correction of the shape of the nail. Among the girls, "nail art" is very popular, because a beautiful nail design can give a complete image and can make it unique. In addition, various accessories for the design of nails will help to give the manicure even more irresistibility.
Rhinestones
Rhinestones - this, in fact, imitation of precious stones. They are made of different materials, for example, from crystal, glass, plastic and even metal. They can be of different sizes, shapes and colors. As a rule, when designing nails, rhinestones from 1 to 3 mm are used.
In order to fix the crystals, it is necessary to put a dot with gel, acrylic, special glue or clear varnish. Then, with a needle or toothpick, hook the rhinestones and put on a drop, pressing lightly. From the top, the glaze must be fixed with a clear varnish, gel, acrylic or fixative.
Microfiber, dust (Glitter, Dust)
With the use of sparkles, festive designs are created - they are poured into the light. These are the same sequins as they are in varnishes, only in this case they are in dry form. Such sequins have a number of advantages, since it is possible to regulate their volume and density.
To apply glitter, use a transparent lacquer, which is sprinkled with glitter on top. After the varnish has dried, the excess glitter is brushed. Then the nail is once again varnished. Also, sequins are used together with acrylic powder or gel.
Foil
There are three types of foil that are used in the design of nails.
- detachable foil. This foil can be of different colors and shades. To use it, you need to cut out the necessary flap and distribute it with a thin stick over the nail. On the nail, you must first apply a clear varnish or glue. If you want, then on top of the foil you can apply another layer of clear lacquer. In this case, the brightness of the gloss and the bulk of the foil will no longer be, but it will last longer.
- transfer foil. Such a foil is glued on the nail with a special glue. It can also be of a variety of colors and patterns. First, glue is applied to the nail, and then foil is applied to it with a face. After some time, the foil base should be removed.
- strips of foil, which already have an adhesive base.
Colored Ribbons
They can be of different colors and textures and are produced immediately on a sticky basis. The thickness of the tapes is 2-3 mm. Glue the tape on the dried lacquer. In this case, it is important that the edges of the ribbons do not go beyond the surface of the nail.
Lace
Lace for nails is smaller than it usually is. Weaving and color of lace are different. You can use it as a whole, or fragments. It is necessary to cut out the necessary quantity of lace and paste on the glue or clear varnish. Sometimes lace is in the form of an ordinary mesh.
Stickers
Stickers come with a huge number of subjects: animals, flowers, hearts, leaves, etc. However, of course, they will not replace the exclusive work of the master.
Feathers
Feathers are used quite rarely, as this is not very convenient material. As a rule, these accessories are used to create an evening design. In the shop windows there are special feathers, which are both large and medium in size, outlandish colors (for the feathers of exotic birds).
Sand (Bellion)
In fact, these are small round grains. Usually they are of gold and pearlescent color. A wet needle (brush or toothpick) should catch a few grains of sand and apply to the nail, which is previously applied glue or clear lacquer. Sand must be fixed with several layers of clear varnish or fixer.
Natural material
At a design use also natural materials, for example, seeds, the dried plants and flowers. They can be used immediately or pre-painted in some color.
