Adhesive ornaments

After the varnish dries completely, a clear coat of fixative is applied to the nail. If you need to remove the picture from the nail, it can be done with the help of a liquid for removing the varnish - the main thing is that it does not contain acetone and does not remove the layer of the main varnish together with the decoration.

Often glued ornaments are used as a decorative tool for nail extensions inside a layer of gel or acrylic, which significantly prolongs the life of the decoration.

Rhinestones

Rhinestones are small plastic or glass stones that look like real gems. They can be sold both individually and in the form of ready-made patterns. Rhinestones that are used in nail art are slightly different from ordinary rhinestones, since on the one hand they have a flat surface in order to adhere well to the nail.

The smallest crystal and plastic crystals can be fastened directly to a fresh lacquer, and they will perfectly hold. The remaining crystals must be glued on dry lacquer with nail glue. Neon rhinestones or champagne colors will suit any lacquer.

Bindis looks elegant only on one nail, because it is a complex picture. It is recommended to carefully choose the right tone of varnish for bindis, because the decoration immediately attracts attention and requires the correct arrangement of color accents.

It looks good a foil of golden hues on a dark lacquer-based( burgundy, cherry, brown, dark blue, black).An unusual effect can be achieved by combining several types of foil of different colors and shades.

Piercing

Unlike piercing( piercing) of any part of the body, nail piercing is absolutely painless procedure. Its main advantage( although, perhaps, a disadvantage?) Is that sooner or later, when the nail is sufficiently grown, the decoration can be removed or changed. Of the drawbacks is worth noting the fragility of the piercing - to touch something with a fingernail and break it together with the decoration is very simple. Therefore, you need to be very careful with piercing.

The procedure for piercing, of course, should be carried out by the master in a specialized salon. You can try to make piercings and at home, but in this case, the quality and result of work is not guaranteed.

Artificial nails are more suitable for piercing, but with it you can decorate and natural nails. It is only necessary to first strengthen them using an acrylic-based liquid or a transparent gel that solidifies under the action of a special lamp, self-curing or light-curing agent. If a manicure was done before the piercing, the varnish should dry very well.

piercing technology 1. A small special drill wizard makes a hole at the tip of the nail, near its edge.

2. Then, using tweezers, insert a ring or any other decoration into the hole and squeeze its edges.

3. The decoration with tweezers is fixed. If the piercing is decorated with carnations, then the back of the nail is fixed with a cog."Carnations" slightly shorten the pliers, so that it does not aesthetically look out from under the tip of the nail.

Feathers

Nail decoration with feathers is intended as an addition exclusively to the evening dress, as it is short-lived and very extravagant. Choose feathers based on the overall color scheme of clothing, perhaps repeating the pattern on the dress or the presence of a pen on a hat or hair. In this case, the image of the woman will be whole and bright.

The feather is carefully attached to a slightly dried lacquer or superimposed on the already dry layer under the lacquer-fixer. And actually the pen should be outside the nail, so you need to coordinate its bend, so that the feather gracefully rounds the semicircle of the nail. Thus on the nail is fastened a feather leg. For greater sophistication, you can sprinkle the feather on top with a fine gloss.

2. Grasp the previously shortened feather with tweezers and apply to a low layer of acrylic.

8. In some cases, to complete the composition, you need to finish the stems, decorative points-stamens or leaves. In the end, the application should be covered with acrylic.

Mesh and threads

Both the mesh and threads( usually gold or silver) are superimposed on a single-color lacquer or enamel, the latter being preferred. On sale there is a fairly thick metal mesh on an adhesive basis and a grid of lurex type.
