Painting on nails
Drawings on nails - one of the most complex procedures in nail art, requiring certain skills, skills, patience and training. On nails are applied in several ways: paints, varnishes, sparkles, colored powders with the help of brushes of various thickness, rods, needles, gel pens, etc. In the artistic painting of nails, as in any art, there are their own fashion trends and trends. As we have already mentioned, on the nails looks like a pattern, repeating the pattern of the dress. The drawing on a transparent nail, for example, accentuated by gel technology or simply covered with transparent lacquer, looks attractive.
Even, it would seem, such a home and "children's" way of decorating nails, like drawings with a gel pen, can become an elegant addition to the dressing and nail decoration. Everything depends on the imagination and skill of the artist, his professionalism and ability to create small masterpieces on tiny "canvases".
There are 3 main methods of painting nails:
using an airbrush;
with a thin brush;
with the use of a needle or toothpick.
The drawings created by these three methods will be completely different, but they can complement and match with each other. The main thing, as with any finger decoration, is a successful combination of varnishes, both basic and used for drawing drawings.
The airbrush creates smaller and complex drawings, so this technique is very complicated and expensive, because it is professional and is performed only in showrooms by masters. However, such a painting - the top of the art of nail art.
Brushes can create drawings on both dried varnish and liquid. In the latter case, the varnishes will be mixed, forming whimsical patterns.
Technique of weaving
Needle or toothpick is mainly painted only on a liquid varnish, on which a few drops of another varnish drip. The more elegant the pattern, the thinner the needle or toothpick. The movements with this technique are basically the same in principle: the tool moves from a drop to a drop, and you get an ornate pattern from blurred paths and specks. Therefore, this technique was called "interlacing technique" - the lines seem to intertwine, creating a picture."The technique of weaving" - one of the basic in nail art and one of the easiest. Usually, using this technique, twigs, flowers and feathers are made, but there is always room for imagination and fantasy, so you can come up with different patterns.
To make the picture look bright and festive, use at least three colors of lacquer - one basic and two colored for drawings, plus friable sequins or varnish with sparkles. A little imagination - and the result will surpass all your expectations.
"Rose on velvet"
1. Cover the nails with base lacquer - maroon enamel. Dry it.
2. At the base of the nail use a silvery pink varnish to put a drop and lightly grind it, giving it the outlines of a rose flower. Lightly dry, but not until the end.
3. In the middle of the contour of the rose put a drop of rich pink varnish and lightly grind it along the existing contours, leaving, however, a thin border of silvery varnish at the edges. Dry, but do not dry until the end.
4. In the middle of the picture put a drop of burgundy or black lacquer. Dry it.
5. When completing the flower pattern, put a barely visible drop of white matte varnish( "flower core") on the burgundy surface. Dry the picture.
6. With a fine brush, draw a flower stalk with white lacquer. Dry and then duplicate with black lacquer.
7. Draw "leaves": put 2-3 drops of black varnish along the entire length of the stem, give them the contours of the leaves. Do not dry them, put the points in them in white lacquer and mix them lightly, achieving the effect of the transition of colors one into the other.
