In place of the extended nails in the nail industry, natural ones coated with gel polish quickly entered fashion. So, pink shellac generally became a hit of the season. And holds its position for several years in a row. And avid for this color are not only contrary to the established stereotypes of the blonde. And how many interesting designs can be created, beyond words.
Simple and quick hand-painted option
To do this, not so much is required: rhinestones, a thin brush, an ultraviolet lamp, a base and top for gel polish, colored shellac. Nails (pink shade can be any: bright, pale, light, saturated) are covered with shellac, design, so as not to look lurid and vulgar, you can do it on only one nail. The flower will be drawn by hand, so if the gel polish is not too thick, then you can use acrylic paints. They have a denser structure, if they are properly diluted with water, so it will be easier to lay down on the nails. After standard preparation (hand disinfection, cuticle removal, pterygium removal), the base is applied. As thin as possible, so that the material does not get on the skin around the nails. The base will dry in the rays of the lamp for no more than a minute. Typically, this is the ring finger.
Step by step execution
When the base is dry, pink shellac is applied on top of it on all but one of the nails. The first layer is as thin as possible, even if the material streaks and shines through. When the colored substrate dries in an ultraviolet lamp, the procedure is repeated again if necessary. And so on until the hue is not sufficiently saturated (for those who like brighter). A different color gel polish is applied to the selected finger. For example, it can be shiny shellac. It will dry as much as any other color - 1-2 minutes in the rays of a UV lamp.
When the procedure is completed, pink petals are drawn over the sparkles with a thin brush. If the drawing will be done with acrylic paint, then you need to wait for it to dry. If gel polish, then dry in a UV lamp. To rhinestones, playing the role of cores, did not fly out at the first hand washing, you need to drop a little shellac. It is dried for several seconds in a lamp, and then rhinestones are placed on this place. You can already finish with them. Top is applied at the final stage. It is better to choose without an adhesive layer so that you do not have to remove it later. Pink shellac manicure with hand-painted simple painting is ready!
Two-nail design
Actually, the initial stage is no different from the previous version. Only now the design will be carried out on two fingers at once. Young girls often choose bright pink shellac for manicure. If only because they can afford it due to age. In the variant, as in the photo, shellac with sparkles is applied to the middle finger, and simple painting is performed on the ring finger. White zigzags are drawn with a thin brush by hand when the main pink color is already thoroughly dried. Otherwise, the shades will mix, the conceived pattern will not work. The whole design is fixed after drying with a top, which also polymerizes in the rays of a UV lamp.
Animal print - hit
It’s easiest to draw a zebra pattern on your own, as in the photo above. To complete it, you will need:
- pink shellac;
- white and black gel polish ;
- base and top;
- thin brush;
- UV lamp (LED is better, which cures material faster);
- gel polish with a dense shimmer (sparkles).
After standard preparation and the initial stage, all but two nails are covered in the base color. In this case, it is a pink gel polish. Shellac with a shimmer is applied to the middle finger, and white on the ring finger. It is better to dry all of them at the same time so that the material does not boil in the lamp. Black stripes are drawn with a thin brush on top of the dried white tone. As a result, they should form a print under a zebra, especially for this you do not have to be bent. The pattern will dry in a lamp in just a few seconds. After that, the entire design is overlapped with a top. An unusual version of the manicure is ready.
Elegant tri-color design
Such a combination as shellac pink with white and black colors looks especially successful. Therefore, the three-color design has already become almost a classic in nail art. It is necessary to determine in advance which nails what color will be covered. So, most often white is the ring finger, pink is the index and large, black is the middle and little finger. But the options can be very different. Moreover, the alternation of colors on the left and right hand does not match. And this is the norm today. When the gel polish dries, a pattern is applied to it using a dots (brush with a ball at the end) and a thin brush. Most often, black acrylic paint. And not on all nails, but only on pink and white. The pattern can be any. As an idea, you can use what is in the photo. To make the design even more unusual, it is covered not with a glossy top, but with a matte finish. Pink shellac on nails in this version looks more spectacular and stylish.
Ideas and Options
You can draw ideas anywhere. So, for example, you can complement the design with rhinestones or broths, hand-painted and unusual prints. The photo above shows an option that is very popular with young girls. Metal broths on a black background give the manicure volume, and an unusual painting on pink gel polish - a unique feature, a highlight.
Reviews of manicure
Most often, if the master or the girl herself chose the right shade of pink gel polish, then the owners of the manicure will be satisfied with the finished result. With rare exceptions. So, someone just expects one design, and as a result gets a completely different one. Therefore, the simpler the pattern, the more accurate will be its implementation. Pink shellac on nails is suitable for women of any age. So, respectable ladies can choose for themselves a calm pastel tone that will be perfect for everyday dresses. And young girls do not limit themselves at all: the whole pink palette is at their service. Regardless of saturation.
