If you like to do manicure yourself, do not be afraid to try the latest in the nail industry. Always carefully refer to the manufacturer's recommendations. And we will help you deal with some interesting nail design techniques . A blue jacket, correctly executed with one's own hand, may look just as good as salon work, and it will also cover the entire time period. The main thing is to do the work carefully, not to rush and not be afraid to correct mistakes.
Where to begin?
Before embarking on a decorative coating, a number of appropriate hygiene procedures should be carried out.
- Treat the cuticle as you like.
- Give the nails the same length and shape, walk along the edges with a nail file.
- Polish the nail plates with a buff.
- Degrease the nails, then do not touch their surfaces with your fingers.
- Apply primer.
- Cover the nails with a base and dry it in a lamp.
Of course, a blue jacket on nails can also be made using ordinary varnishes that do not need polymerization. The process will take a little longer, but the work itself is simpler, and the technology is familiar to most women. The progress of the design is similar to the creation of a gel coating, which we will focus on.
Delicate design with rhinestones
A few small rhinestones look quite appropriate in everyday design. The main thing is not to overload the composition so that it does not look too pretentious.
For such a design, it is also desirable to use a natural (“camouflage”) shade. Apply it on the nail plate, dry in a lamp. It is convenient to use the formula 4 + 4 + 2, which involves working with four fingers of one hand, then with four fingers, and then processing both thumbs. So you save time on drying.
Cover the ends of the nail plates with a gentle blue tint of gel polish, polymerize. Using a thin brush, draw some light, thin, curved lines and bake the paint. Cover all nails with top, dry, remove stickiness, if present.
For gluing rhinestones, you can use special glue (most of these products do not need to be polymerized in a lamp). After the glue has completely dried, gently circle the crystals with a fine brush with a thin brush. Dry it again. It is important that the top does not fall on the rhinestones themselves, otherwise they will cloud.
Blue jacket on the nails can be decorated with transparent crystals or choose rhinestones to match the "smiles".
French manicure with a pattern
To create a blue jacket on short nails and decorate it with voluminous monograms, it is better to use not gel polish, but gel. Unusual and completeness of manicure is given by the white moon "smiles".
For complex designs with a special nail, the above formula is not very suitable. First of all, do the simple part of the work: cover the nails, on which there will be no patterns and rhinestones. How to fasten rhinestones, you already know, so we will dwell on monograms in more detail.
Pick up the paint a little, the ball should be the size of a bead of beads. Place it on the nail, brush it from the wide part of the monogram to the thin one. Dry the paint as much as the manufacturer recommends. After drying, the pattern must be covered with a top.
The use of velvet sand
It is much easier for a novice master to use sand of medium or fine grinding, but for a large one, skill is needed. It is easier to apply sand to paint, which, unlike varnish, does not spread on the nails.
Before starting work with sand, nails need to be varnished with a suitable shade (blue), dried and a topcoat applied. After drying, the sticky layer must be removed.
The blue jacket with a pattern on the nails, the photo of which is located in this section, is made using sand of several colors.
Paint a semi-dry brush using light blue or white. Without drying, spray sand on the surface (it is convenient to use a pusher). Dry in a lamp and only after that with a wide brush or brush remove any remaining sand from your fingers.
Fairytale winter: manicure with snowflakes
Winter is a time of holidays and snowfalls. Why not combine these ideas for manicure? Yes, and on weekdays it would be quite appropriate to look at such a design as a blue jacket on the nails. The photo proposed for inspiration will help in the work. After completing the jacket, as described above, you can start drawing. It must be applied to the dried top, using a hair brush in the work.
Such a design can also be done using water-soluble winter-based sliders. To do this, soak the decals in a saucer with water and transfer the images to the nail, shaking off drops of water from it. Having placed the drawing as it should, cover it with a layer of top.
About the form of "smile"
Today, not only the classic form of the jacket is in vogue, but also more bold decisions. The lunar manicure was a real breakthrough, but soon the masters came up with something new.
When using natural shades of varnish, this solution will not look so impressive, but for color, the idea will do, which confirms the photo. The blue jacket on the nails with a contrasting strip on the side looks very nice.
Little helpers of the master
Mention that helps to draw a "smile" evenly. Many novice masters use applicators that cover part of the nail plate and help create even and equal lines at the ends. Professionals prefer to use brushes of a special shape with a beveled edge. Try different methods to choose the most convenient for yourself.
