Today, the beauty industry is developing rapidly, including in the field of nail care and manicure. Slider nail design is one of the new developments, which not only makes life easier for the manicurist, but also allows you to create a completely new, very unusual design.
Types of sliders
Nail design with slides is an excellent option for active women who do not have enough time for long visits to a nail care specialist. This decorative decoration of the nail plate can be done quite quickly, and it will look very original. You can even come up with your own pattern if what you want is not available.
Slider is a coating of nail plates that can be easily glued to the entire nail or to part of it. The basis for the decorative pattern is gel polish. The slides are convenient because they do not require long drying, are easy to apply, and the drawings are all clear and identical.

- Whole;
- Dense;
- With a transparent base;
- Contour.
The slider looks like a small piece of thick paper, which must be moistened in water and attached to the nail, then secured with a transparent gel polish or top coat. No special composition is needed to secure the patterns.
Solid and dense
The one-piece type of slide stickers is glued entirely to the entire nail; under the design there is already a solid color base, mainly white, pink or beige. Solid sliders last much longer than other elements.
Using sliders, you can create a 3D design on the entire surface of the nail.
Basically, both thick and solid types of stickers contain images:
- Colors;
- Nature;
- Unusual art;
- Complex patterned elements;
- Varieties of painting.
The dense version of the slider is somewhat similar to the solid one, but there is a minor difference. In this case, the image on the slider is dense, that is, it completely composes a specific design. The dense subspecies is considered universal, as it suits any color base.
With a transparent base
There is a type of slider in which the picture on the film is placed on a transparent base, and the image itself is colored. The advantage of using slides with a transparent base is that it can be applied either over the entire surface of the nail or partially.
Sliders with a transparent base are:
- Floral;
- Animalistic;
- Geometric;
- Patterned.
These stickers with a transparent base allow you to combine different patterns and elements, creating completely new and unusual designs.
Contour
This subtype of sliders is distinguished exclusively by contour designs, usually gold, white or black. The elements can be decorated independently or applied to a selected base.
Outline sliders are basically combinations of various elements of geometry and abstraction:
- Squares;
- Diamonds;
- Triangles;
- Stripes;
- Angles;
- Curls;
- Patterns;
- Inscriptions.
Contour sliders are used mainly when creating manicures with geometry and asymmetry or in cases where additional decorative elements are required. The advantage of this type is that it allows you to create even patterns without special devices.
Reviews of nail sliders
Below are reviews from clients and artists about nail stickers.
Alena, 23 years old, Belgorod
I have a positive attitude towards sliders; clients often ask for such a design. Advantages: fast, beautiful, inexpensive, easy to implement. There is only one drawback - such a manicure is not superior in beauty to hand painting, if we are talking about an experienced master with artistic abilities and taste.
Victoria, 32 years old, Moscow
I prefer plain covers without decoration, but clients, especially young ones, often ask for sliders. It is them, and not a hand-drawn picture. They are extremely convenient to use and save time for both the technician and the client. The choice is very large, I constantly order something new, I like the stickers with cool inscriptions, young people are delighted.
Alina, 28 years old, Perm
It is much easier and faster for a master to paste a picture than to draw it by hand; this is the advantage of sliders. I like dense designs all over the nail. Advice for beginners - be sure to glue the end of the nail and then seal it.
How to apply on nails?
Applying the sticker is not difficult, but technology must be followed, otherwise the manicure will not last long. There are several types of stickers that can be attached to an uncoated plate or to a plate with a clear or plain light varnish. Using stickers you can create very unusual nail art.
Today, sliders with floral patterns, as well as animals, single figures, inscriptions, and emoticons are popular. The main thing is that your look matches your nails.
It is possible to use a printer to print the design you want. It is not necessary to buy special nail coatings. White French manicure with patterns looks beautiful; you can glue various figures of people or even entire small paintings, or make compositions from several patterns.
Creating a manicure with sliders at home is quite simple, just stock up on the necessary materials and follow the step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: preparation. Prepare materials for work and apply a layer of gel polish. Choose the base for the slider depending on the existing pattern. For a contour slider, it is better to choose a contrasting base.
Dry the gel polish in a lamp, and then apply a layer of transparent gel polish.
Step 2: preparing and applying the slider. Pre-cut the slider to the required shape. Dip it in water for 5 seconds, then pull it out and remove excess water from its surface, but do not apply the sticker now.
Carefully slide the slider off the backing using tweezers. Then apply it to the nail and smooth out any wrinkles that appear.
Step 3: correction. Straighten the slider with a wooden stick so that there is a space of 1 mm between the cuticle and the varnish. If necessary, trim the edges, being careful not to create new wrinkles. Dry for 5-10 seconds in a lamp.
Step 4: Consolidation. Apply the topcoat slightly beyond the edges of the slider. Dry in an ultraviolet lamp.
If you want to make a slider design on gel polish, first just apply the gel polish as usual. After this, degrease the surface of the nail plate and, having measured out the shape of the sticker in advance and cut it to size, stick it on the nail.
Next comes one of the most important processes - apply a transparent layer of varnish on top and dry it again in the lamp, or simply fix the gel and the design with regular varnish. To use a design correctly, the picture must be wetted and prepared for application.

The design of sliders for nails can be very diverse. And from the many options it is always easy to choose what suits different situations, seasons and life occasions.
#1 Manicure with white flowers using hand painting
Hand painting is a drawing made using manicure brushes. This design is most often created by professional craftsmen, for whom it is not a problem to create even the most complex patterns on the nail.
Visually, a design made with manicure brushes looks much better and more noble than a design made with sliders or stamping. When doing hand painting, you can use several shades at once, which will help create a voluminous and detailed drawing. To paint white flowers, use high-quality professional gel polishes with a thick texture.
How long does the slider design last?
This question worries any girl who has decided to resort to such a manicure. As in any other option, you always want to know the deadlines after which you need to take some decisive steps in order to correct the situation and extend their validity.
The sliders stay on the surface of the nails for the following period of time:
- on regular varnish for a week;
- on gel polish for three weeks.
In both cases, in order to extend the life of the sliders, you must strictly adhere to the technology of gluing them, as well as follow the rules of nail care for such a manicure.
#5 Wedding manicure with white flowers
A wedding manicure is rarely complete without a chic white manicure. This is a classic that is always relevant. Delicate, snow-white marigolds are a real decoration for girls. A manicure with white flowers is in harmony with the bride’s dress, with the bouquet, and with the surrounding environment.
Performing a wedding manicure should be trusted only to a professional master who has repeatedly performed such work. Discuss in advance what kind of floristry you want to see on your nails. The trend is translucent nail art with white flowers made using a manicure brush. You should not perform a manicure using stamping or sliders for a wedding celebration. Flowers painted with an airbrush or manicure brushes look much more impressive and elegant.
