Gradient
This option of manicure is gaining more and more popularity. Colors that seamlessly fade into one another, which looks very creative and original. If we talk about the blue color, then gradually darkening and turning to the tip of the nail in black will look stylish. Such a design may seem complicated to someone, but even a beginner will cope with it. There are several ways to create such a manicure: the first involves applying the varnish immediately to the nail with a comb comb, and the second - first at the airfoup. Experienced craftsmen use an airbrush for the gradient.
Method One:
- Apply blue and black varnishes (from the hole to the tip) with horizontal stripes on the nail plate.
- Using a brush, blend the borders between the colors.
- Apply a clear top.
The second way:
- Take airfoofing.
- Apply varnish to it with horizontal stripes.
- Press the sponge against the nail plate, blending the transition. Dry in the lamp.
- Apply a clear top on top.
- The disadvantage of this method is that the skin around the nail gets dirty, so you should either use a protective coating, or immediately remove the varnish with a special tool.
A horizontal gradient made by alternating stripes will look very extraordinary: from light to dark, and from dark to light. This design is a little more complicated, you need to perform it using a stencil.
Remember that the gradient itself looks bright enough, so if you want to complement it with rhinestones, broths or paintings, you need to do this carefully so that the nails do not look overloaded and tasteless.
