Well-groomed nails with beautiful manicure decorate women of any age. You can choose the design of nail art to any image, season or clothing. An incredible number of varieties of manicure were invented, as well as the means of applying it to the nail plate. Now a manicurist must have the artistic ability to fulfill any client’s wishes.
A huge number of "assistants" are being released to help him. These are water-based stickers, stamps and stripes, kamifubiki and sparkling rhinestones. Drawings can be supplemented with powder or powders. A delicate openwork manicure looks especially tender, which we will discuss in more detail later in the article. You can make lace nails with all the nails or focus on some of them, for example, on the middle and ring fingers.
Features and difficulties in work
It is incredibly difficult to draw a lace pattern on your own. Even if you can beautifully draw your left hand, then there will be problems with the right. Of course, if you have incredible sleight of hand and can repeat the tortuous pattern equally on both hands, then you are more likely an exception to the rule. Unfortunately, I can’t accurately copy the pattern. Everything goes well with the right hand, but problems begin with the left. Either the line will go uneven, then the tilt angle is not the right one. It’s easier for me to pay a manicurist than to suffer on my own, while being nervous and using a wash a couple of times.
In the article, we will consider how you can do openwork manicure yourself, tell you interesting options and color combinations. You will also learn how to greatly facilitate the application of lace patterns by stamping and using water-based stickers.
Wedding nail art
At the wedding, the girls try to choose the appropriate manicure for the delicate lace dress. Bright varnishes should not be chosen, since the nails will not look aesthetically pleasing, and will smell of bad taste. The best option for the bride will be just openwork manicure, and made on a nude background, as in the photo below in the article.
If you draw a lace pattern on all nails, it will look clumsy. But if, against the background of French manicure, two plates are decorated with ornate lines, it will look elegant and gentle. You can add a gloss with crescents of pasted small rhinestones. Typically, brides do professional manicure by the master, but if you still decide to do nail art yourself, you can use water-based stickers.
Such a delicate manicure turns out to be neat, and the work will take only a few minutes. It is enough to put the stickers cut to the height of the plate on a damp cloth, and after 10-15 seconds it is easy to remove the transparent base. After applying and drying the base layer, attach the drawing to the nail and slide your finger across the surface, releasing the remaining air so that there is no bubble. Then they cover the nail with top-coat varnish and dry it under an ultraviolet lamp.
There is still the problem of the loss of one strass at the most inopportune moment. After one awkward situation, I can give useful advice - before sticking the pebble, put a small point on the base varnish, and then dip the paste in a thick liquid. It will reliably bog down, and after drying it will hold on to the end and will not put you in a difficult position.
Openwork manicure on long nails.
The traditional combination of black and white is always a winning option for manicure. The lace pattern is not made on the entire plate, but emphasizes the length of the nails, located in a semicircle on top. Choose repeating elements of the ornament to make it easier to produce on both hands. After processing the nails, apply a base coat and dry the nails under the lamp. Then gently color the background. In order not to hook the rollers and achieve maximum accuracy of application, use the tried and tested method. Around the nail plate, brush with a layer of PVA glue. After drying, it will seize with a hard film, which is easy to remove by pulling the edge. The rollers remain clean, and the delicate manicure is neat.
Lace is drawn with either a thin brush or the thinnest dots. This is a metal stick with a ball on the end. He dipped in varnish and draw lines or dot the nail. If the first time fails, do not be discouraged, erase the unsuccessful area with a wash and try again.
The combination of black and white
Let's look at another interesting version of a simple manicure with lace inserts on two nails. After the base layer, dry the plates and cover them with a background layer, most of them are black, and two accent nails are white. When the varnish is dried, draw a thin, even strip on the end of the nail. You can use masking or regular transparent tape to make the strip look even. Be sure to remove it before drying. To keep the line even, take a little varnish, carefully wiping the brush on the edge of the bubble. It is desirable that it be thick, otherwise the liquid may spread and you will have to wipe off the leaks with a wash or remodel the work.
When the basis for the lace pattern is done, begin to draw openwork. The ornament is simple, consists of a series of semicircles connected by broken lines. Any girl who does not even have artistic abilities will cope with such a simple pattern.
Fashionable combination of pink with black
This season, these two colors are very popular, their combination is also used for applying lace manicure. Nail art also looks interesting due to the use of both glossy and matte varnish. Hot pink adds shine and looks spectacular, and the openwork pattern is decorated on a more delicate background. This is a pale pink varnish, on which the drawing is clearly visible.
The lace pattern looks spectacular by mixing the central element, and on selected nails it is located in different places. Several rhinestones give shine to matte nails.
It is easy to draw on nails using stamping plates. It is enough to apply varnish on a metal surface, remove excess and seal the nail. But remember that gel polish is not suitable for this, you need to buy a special one for such purposes. Also, stamps cannot be dried with a lamp. The varnish should dry naturally. Then cover the nail with the top and dry the layer.
Using powder
As you can see, the next piece of lace nail art looks incredibly impressive, as the master used several techniques. Firstly, this is a two-color ombre on the ring finger as the basis. Secondly, the lace ornament is made with basic varnish and sprinkled with powder.
The effect is amazing, the pattern looks voluminous. It stands out against the light background of the nude base. The combination of glossy varnish with powder also attracts the eye.
Beige Nail Design
Light tones of varnish always look gentle and elegant, they are suitable for the weekend, and for going to work or study. White patterns are clearly visible on a matte beige background, although only two nails are chosen for the picture - large and nameless. Openwork pattern is applied with a brush, and dots are set by dots. Most of the plate is covered with lace, which draws attention to the manicure.
Beige and white manicure looks quite modest and feminine, suitable for women of any age. These colors are neutral, so it will look beautiful with any outfit - and with jeans, and with an evening dress.
As you can see, there are many options for lace patterns, as well as ways to apply them.
