Types of nail stickers

The modern nail art industry offers fashionistas and professional nail artists a wide selection of products for artistic manicure decoration. Nail stickers hold differently, differ in shape, size, application or manicure design. The image styles, colors and ease of application of art materials are amazing. Types of stickers:

1. Water-based products - stick after contact with water.
2. Self-adhesive materials - fixed with shellac, gel, varnish on a sticky layer.
3. Materials for photo design – miniature films of photographic precision.
4. Foil products - with their use, the beauty of the manicure is guaranteed.
5. Volumetric 3D materials for accent design with a three-dimensional effect.

For decoration, stickers of different colors are used depending on the mood, character, and event. They glue silicone stickers, film stickers, sliders, patterns that imitate French manicure or delicate lace.

Nail preparation

The initial stage of any manicure design technique is preparation - filing, cuticle processing, hygiene procedures. To make sliders and stickers on your nails last longer, you need to carefully prepare them. It is recommended to use professional manicure kits. Pre-treatment will keep your hands looking well-groomed and help firmly fix the design. How to prepare marigolds at home:

1. Remove the old varnish coating using a liquid without acetone, file the edges, and give them the required shape.
2. Make a bath with salt or soap foam with a small addition of essential oil, then apply a nourishing cream to soften the cuticle.
3. Wash your hands well and disinfect the surface of the nail plates with an antiseptic.
4. Remove the cuticle and side skin using nail scissors or a gentle chemical composition with fruit acids.
5. Polish your nails with a buff – using a special nail file will ensure better fixation of the base and art design.
6. If the nails are extended with acrylic, you need to treat the surface with a pusher, brush off the dust, degrease and treat with an antiseptic.
7. Apply a base - a base layer for shellac, gel polish or regular polish. The background should not “dispute” with the color of the pasted fragment.

After preparation (the procedure is performed before applying any stickers), you can begin coating with nail art materials. It’s not difficult to do a manicure yourself, but you should follow the recommendations of the experts on gluing stickers. The manicure must be covered with a transparent fixing layer to secure it from the base to the edges of the nail.

Recommendations for fashionistas

Start creating a manicure by first studying the instructions for using the stickers. Before using nail stickers, be sure to familiarize yourself with their type and individual gluing technology.

It is not recommended to glue the material directly onto an unpainted nail - there is no guarantee that they will withstand a long service life. It is much more logical to apply the film on a slightly dried layer of varnish so that it is securely fixed in the right place. After this, it must be fixed on the nail with top varnish.

If you don’t have any special ideas about how to design a manicure using stickers, study examples of completed work on various women’s forums. It is there that you can find many interesting options that can be easily implemented even at home.

You can buy nail stickers for shellac in Moscow in cosmetic stores. In addition, they are available in specialized online stores.

We hope that the article was useful to you. To find out more information about the principles of using stickers for manicure, we recommend a video review about manicure stickers:

What are water stickers

Film materials with a smooth texture, patterns, images, designs - water-based nail stickers, which are also called transfers. The main advantage of the products is that using water-based stickers increases the durability and stability of the manicure. The beautiful appearance of marigolds lasts for about a week.

How to properly apply transfer stickers to your nails:

1. Water-based stickers are used to decorate simple varnish, gel, and acrylic.
2. Products are cut according to contour, shape and size.
3. To use water-based nail stickers correctly, you need to immerse them in water for a few seconds, separate the transfer part from the paper backing using tweezers, fix them on the plates, level them and secure them.

How to transfer water materials:

• ordinary varnish - they don’t let it dry completely, they start gluing a sticker;
• gel polish or shellac - transfer the design to a sticky base layer after drying under a UV lamp for 60 seconds;
• acrylic - the fragment is fixed immediately so that the water film does not dissolve.

Using water stickers is quite simple, the stickers last a long time and do not peel off, but in water the stickers soften quickly - you should not soak them for more than ten seconds.

Water-based stickers can be used to cover the entire surface of the nail

On a transparent basis

When choosing stickers on a transparent basis, you need to keep in mind that their use is limited. Fragments are not suitable for application on bright regular varnish - they look impressive on a light or white background. But decorative films are beneficial to use for artistic applications and original compositions; the transparent backing makes the manicure noticeable. How to apply clear backed stickers:

1. Remove the protective backing and clearly place the fragments.
2. Flatten the pattern with a stick, removing air bubbles.
3. Secure the nail decor with a light layer of clear varnish.
4. There is no need to additionally apply moldings, rhinestones, bouillons, or glitter to the nail. The manicure turns out bright and expressive.

Step-by-step instructions for applying stickers

Shellac occupies a special place in the heart of every girl, because doing a manicure with it is a pleasure, and the result is simply magnificent.

It would seem that gluing a slider design is a common thing, but everything is not so simple, one wrong move and the manicure is ruined as well as the mood

Therefore, in order to avoid troubles, special attention should be paid to the preparatory stages:

Preparatory stage

Polishing nails with a buff

The first stage is to prepare the nails. First, you need a standard manicure to tidy up the cuticles and shape your nails. After which, the surface of the nail plate is polished using a buff (if these are natural nails). This is necessary so that the gel polish lays evenly on the nails and lasts for a long time.

Degreasing nails

Some ladies prefer to skip the second stage, but it is very important, since the quality of the manicure depends on this simple procedure. In order for shellac to have good adhesion to the nail plate, it must be degreased. It is best to use a special product for these purposes, but if you don’t have it at hand, regular alcohol or nail polish remover will come to your aid.

Note

Carefully work on all nails, not forgetting the sides of the nails.

After the procedure, apply a primer, which will allow the varnish to last much longer. Everything must be done very carefully; if you are still a beginner, do not rush, because there is no need to rush in this matter.

Nail base coating

Applying base to nails

In order to make a high-quality manicure, the nail plate must be coated with a base product. The base hides all imperfections of the nail, making its surface even and very smooth. In addition, a high-quality coating saturates the nail plate with the necessary elements and protects it from the effects of decorative varnish. If you do not apply the base, then even perfect nails will after some time lose their former appearance, become brittle and perhaps even turn yellow.

Color coating

The first layer of decorative shellac should be very thin, but do not paint the sides of the nail plate. After that, place your nails in an ultraviolet lamp. If you are new to manicure art, get a corrector pencil; with its help you can easily correct all mistakes. The second layer should be a little denser, but do not overdo it so that the gel polish dries well.

Varnish application process

Applying stickers to gel polish

Place the sticker in water

Once you have decided on a design that suits you, carefully cut out all the necessary elements for the design so that the stickers follow the shape of your nails. Dip the design blanks into a pre-prepared container with warm water for a few seconds. Then, separate the patterned film from the paper using tweezers and stick it on your nails.

If you want to design the entire nail plate, then do not forget that you need to glue the film with the pattern slightly away from the sides of the nail. This is done so that you can thoroughly work out all the edges of the sticker, thereby making the manicure more stable.

You should glue the designer film using tweezers, this way you will get a perfectly flat surface without folds or wrinkles. If you have not yet learned how to use stickers correctly, make several small cuts on both sides of the film, this will make it possible to stick it more evenly.

Base coating

After applying the sticker, apply the base gel polish so that the entire nail plate is covered and dry the nails in an ultraviolet lamp. After that, cover the nail plates with topcoat, not forgetting to seal the stickers and the nails themselves. In order to get rid of the sticky layer, polish all the claws again in a special lamp.

How to glue sliders on nails

Among the range of nail art materials, sliders occupy a separate category. They come with a dense pattern, a transparent base, and cover the entire nail. Such stickers can be glued to regular varnish, shellac and acrylic extensions. How stickers are applied to nails:

1. Gel polish (shellac). Before performing a slider design, the cuticle is processed, the glossy layer is removed with a nail file, the nails are trimmed, degreased and disinfected. Apply the base and dry under a UV lamp for about a minute. The sliders are freed from the backing, fixed on the nails, covered with a transparent finishing layer and dried again under the lamp.
2. Regular varnish. After preparing the manicure, the varnish is applied in two layers to obtain a good visual effect. Before applying the sticker, the slider is separated from the paper or cardboard backing and the adhesive side is placed against the nail plate. Use a cotton swab to expel air bubbles, and apply a thin layer of fixative on top of the slider.
3. Acrylic (extension). After performing a manicure and modeling the shape of the nails, you need to go over the surface of the plates with a pusher and brush off the dust. The next step is to accurately apply the design from the slider; you cannot move it along the acrylic coating. To securely fasten the slider, use a topcoat or clear varnish.

To prevent sliders from peeling or falling off, you need to align the fragments well, use high-quality material, and follow technology. The drawings will be “in their place” if, when transferring the sliders, you retreat 1.5 mm from the cuticle and the edge of the nail.

Nuances of the procedure

Before you start doing a manicure, you need to determine the type of stickers, type of coating, and the color of the base gel polish.
It must be selected depending on the chosen pattern, but it should be borne in mind that the pattern looks clearer on a light background. Regardless of the type of stickers and coating material, before sticking on the designs, your nails must be prepared. Remove old gel polish or other material, then process the nail plate: push back the cuticle, trim the skin, give the free edge of the nail a beautiful shape. This should be done taking into account the length of the nails, the shape of the fingers and the lunula (located at the base of the nail, this is where keratin cells are produced, which are subsequently added to the nail plate, due to which the nail grows).

For example, for women with short fingers, it is advisable to give the free edge of the nail an almond shape, which will visually lengthen the fingers.

If gel polish is applied, you need to remove the natural shine with a soft nail file and degrease the surface with a special product using linen rags or manicure napkins. You cannot use cotton wool: in this case, fibers will remain, which will lead to chips.

After this, apply a dehydrator, which removes excess moisture from the nail plate, then apply a primer, the task of which is to ensure better adhesion of the gel polish to the nail. Before applying the next layer, you need to wait for the previous one to dry.

These stages of work are mandatory, because if there is a foreign object, even of the smallest size, between the nail and the coating or sticker, this will lead to the formation of air pockets. Such a manicure will look sloppy and will not last long.

Then you can start applying the coating. It should be kept in mind that each applied layer of base, gel polish, or top coat must be dried thoroughly under an ultraviolet lamp for as long as stated in the instructions, usually about two minutes. Otherwise, the layer will not dry out, which will lead to early chipping.

The base is applied as the first layer, after which the gel polish is applied; if there is a need to make the color more saturated, the second layer is applied. Then you need to apply the stickers. If these are introductory drawings, they need to be moistened in warm water, then pressed against the nail plate and removed with tweezers the protective transparent layer. In order for the design to lie evenly, small cuts must be made at the bend of the nail.

If the sticker is to cover the entire nail, you need to place it so that there is at least one millimeter between it, the cuticle and the sides of the nail, otherwise the sticker will only last a few hours. To do this, before applying the sticker, use an orange stick or pusher to push the cuticle and side ridges to the maximum possible distance. In half an hour they will return to their original place and hide the indentation.

At the final stage, a top coat is applied; it is for this purpose that even when gluing the sticker, a small gap is left on the sides of the sticker so that the top coat can adhere to the nail, otherwise it will not stick. You need to apply the topcoat in two layers and be sure to seal the edges well so that the sticker sticks. Dry each layer under a lamp.

Photo design

An interesting option for manicure is photo design. The material is art stickers in the form of a thin film with a rough texture. The adhesive on the back of the sticker helps you apply stickers to your nails.

Photo printing allows you to create a unique design with a volume effect

The difference from the slider design is clearer and higher quality images on film. Art stickers are used for a complete manicure, as they provide complete coverage of the nail plates. How to glue stickers:

1. Cut out pieces of stickers according to the shape of your nails.
2. Apply a base layer - simple varnish, gel, acrylic.
3. Release the sticker from the paper backing with tweezers.
4. Carefully transfer the photo fragment to the entire nail.

To ensure that the coating adheres well and tightly, you can make small cuts along the edges of the sticker.

The manicure is smoothed with a wooden stick and fixed by applying top coat, gel or varnish. The part of the sticker that protrudes beyond the nail is folded over the edge of the plate and filed off - the file should not be held at an angle, but perpendicular to the edge. Photo design has impeccable image quality, but lasts on average three days.

Full size water sliders

Their use does not cause difficulties for those who use similar decorations for Easter eggs at Easter. What does this mean? A base coat is applied to prepared nails. When it dries, the selected slider is tried on for a specific nail plate, trimmed if necessary, and then pressed tightly to the nail. It is better to trim with a small allowance, which can later be cut off with a nail file. In order for the nail stickers to adhere, the fingers are immersed in very warm water. The pattern tightly adheres to the nail, forming a durable and beautiful coating. There is no need to cover it with anything on top.

Self-adhesive designs

Using pictures made from self-adhesive material is the easiest way to create a designer manicure. It is convenient to apply the sticker to your nails thanks to the special layer with which the material is treated. Drawings can be made in the form of floral motifs, geometric shapes, ornate patterns, or in the form of lace. Application technique:

1. Standard manicure preparation.
2. “Adjusting” the design to the shape of the nail.
3. Removing the backing from the sticker.
4. Placing a fragment on a manicure.
5. Smoothing the picture with a stick.
6. Filing nails and applying varnish.

The adhesive texture of the material allows you to re-glue the fragment several times if its position is unsatisfactory or if there are air bubbles under the film. Self-adhesive designs can be made in the form of decorative tape or individual stickers. You can choose a classic or extravagant option.

Lace is a thin and delicate decoration for nails

Foil products

Metallized fragments are a new feature in nail art. For production, foil is used, the matte part of which is coated with an adhesive composition. Metallized material options: solid foil and holographic nail stickers, patterned, lace, mirror elements, fragments of gold, silver, embossed, crinkled, sheet, striped foil.

How to apply foil stickers:

1. Carry out hygienic treatment, give nails shape.
2. Polish with a buff for better adhesion.
3. If the foil has patterns and designs, apply a base coat of varnish.
4. Activate the adhesive by heating it under a lamp, not in water.
5. Glue the matte side of the foil onto your nails, from the cuticle to the edge.

Before applying the decor, the foil is precisely cut to the shape of the nail. Do not allow debris or air bubbles to get under the film. The metallized surface is carefully leveled, slightly pulling the material towards the edge. The decor is suitable for a base made of regular varnish or shellac. It is allowed to decorate the entire nail with foil without additional coating, but after preliminary polishing.

Metallic nail stickers are the most popular design

Photo ideas for manicure with stickers

In the photo below you can see nails with metallic stickers - this is the hottest trend of the new season. A shiny film covers the fingers entirely or in openwork stripes complements the main color of the gel. Preparation for its application is standard - sawing off the edges, sanding and applying a transparent base. The slider is cut immediately before use and this must be done as carefully as possible to avoid unsightly creases and bends.

Advice! It is better to heat the metallized film not in water, but with a light bulb on or a hairdryer on - this way streaks will not appear on its surface.

No less popular is the classic French jacket with stickers - to create a smile line, slider pieces with original patterns are used, which are cut out with scissors and glued to the free edge of the plate. The French design with lace at the tip of the nail looks gentle and romantic.

3D stickers

Volumetric decor always looks impressive on nails, but an important condition for the three-dimensional nail art technique is the balance of decorations. The design must be done in moderation, appropriate for the occasion (holiday, special event).

One or two fingers in the form of 3D fragments are decorated with a three-dimensional image. Small decorations (beads, bouillons, sparkles) can occupy the entire surface of the nail.

How to glue 3D stickers:

1. The illusion of volume is created by the arrangement of the drawing or pattern.
2. Prepare your nails for decoration by applying a base coat of polish.
3. Peel stickers with a three-dimensional pattern from the backing.
4. Apply to your nails with tweezers and carefully align.

The use of beads, sand, beads are not 3D stickers, but elements of three-dimensional decor. They are used to create artistic accents. Gluing 3D stickers onto your nails adds volume to your manicure due to the visual perception of the designs.

Another option for 3D manicure is using fimo

Subtleties of the process

When the shellac nail stickers have already been fixed, it is necessary to cover the plates with a non-colored product. Don't forget about the final stage. The peculiarity of stickers is that they can be applied on top of shellac and other types of decorative decorations:

• rhinestones,
• glitter,
• broths,
• liquid stones,
• feathers.

Using this technology, you can glue any types of images, including water ones. The photo clearly shows that any high-quality print looks very stylish and impressive on the nails. It is important to consider that the pattern can only be pasted immediately before the finishing coat. Under the transparent fixative, the ornament or thematic picture will be securely fixed.

Shellac stickers

Natural resin lasts on nails for several weeks. The base is ideal for applying stickers. It is recommended to use nail stickers made with photo designs. The film has a denser structure than water fragments and occupies the entire surface of the nail. How to apply stickers on nails under gel polish:

1. After preparing the nails, apply the base.
2. The layer is dried under the lamp for 1 minute.
3. Apply a colored background contrasting with the sticker.
4. The sticker must be attached to a sticky base.
5. The sticker is separated from the paper backing.
6. Fix the film on the nail plate.
7. Carefully smooth the sticker with a stick.
8. The free edge of the sticker is folded under the nail.
9. Processed with a 100/120 grit file.
10. The top-fixer is applied in a dense layer.
11. Dry the manicure under the lamp for up to 2 minutes.

It is important to properly seal the photo design so that the stickers do not peel off or peel off when in contact with water. You can use water-based and transfer stickers adhesive under shellac as decorative fragments. The application technology remains the same, but before fixing the film, the material is “heated” with water.

A type of nail art with foil stickers – “broken glass” design

How to translate at home?

The technology of slider design for gel polish requires knowledge of the techniques of the masters working in the salon. To extend the life of a colorful design, you need to follow all instructions correctly and step by step, starting from the very beginning.

Before applying the base coat, be sure to pre-treat your nails and do a light manicure without soaking. In this case, you need to remove the cuticle, trim the shape of the nails, and carefully process the free edge of the nail. Not only the quality of the coating, but also its durability depends on how smooth it is.

In addition, you need to take into account that an ideal manicure implies the same length and shape of all nails. If oil or cream was used when treating nails, they should be removed.

After this, the surface of the nail plate must be sanded using a soft file for natural nails (buff). This must be done delicately, removing only the gloss. If you press hard on the buff, you can damage the structure of the nail, removing not only its natural protective layer. Filed nails will look matte.

The next step requires a degreaser (dehydrator). It will remove residual sawdust after sanding and any remaining cream or oil if they were used at the very beginning.

At this stage, it is important to pay special attention to the end of the nail, the inside of the free edge and the side ridges. If an untreated area remains, it can lead to a breakdown in the durability of the coating.

After completely removing the keratin layer, you need to use an acid-free primer. It is especially necessary in cases where the nails are thin and soft. This manicure component helps improve the adhesion of coatings to the surface of the nails, strengthening their structure.

Having prepared the nails for coating, apply a base coat. It should be thin, evenly distributed over the entire surface of the nail plate.

It is important not to forget about the end of the nail and the sides. The base coating has a sticky layer that cannot be touched: it maximizes the adhesion of the nail to the pigment

When working, you need to try to do everything carefully so as not to damage the integrity of the coating.

A distinctive feature of all manicures using gel polish is the need to dry each applied gel-based layer. Imperfections must be removed before polymerization in a UV or LED lamp. A thick layer can quickly crack, which will affect the quality and durability of subsequent stages.

Buying a special lamp can confuse unenlightened shoppers. However, this is an important tool for manicure, because it is thanks to it that the gel polish, base and top harden.

After the base coat, colored gel polish is applied. It usually has good dense pigmentation, so one or two thin coats will be enough for an even background without streaks or unpainted areas. After applying each layer, they are polymerized in a lamp. Drying time depends on the type of lamp.

The LED device is more powerful and reduces the overall time for creating a manicure. Drying one thin layer in such a lamp takes 10-30 seconds. However, manufacturers often produce nail products that are not intended to work with it. In this case, it is better to buy an ultraviolet lamp; it is a universal device for all types of coatings. The polymerization time of one thin layer in it is 2 minutes.

Sliders are glued to the prepared surface. Their design can be very diverse, it depends on the imagination and style of the intended composition. The method of applying stickers differs from their varieties. This process is very exciting and creative. After gluing the pictures, they can be decorated with small rhinestones and microbeads.

After the slider design, you can apply the finishing layer. The top is a fixative; it is applied in a denser layer, so it takes a little longer to dry. The polymerization time for the top coating in an LED lamp is 1 minute, in ultraviolet light it is 3–4 minutes.

How to glue stickers on gel polish

Making a slider design on gel polish is practically no different from gluing decorative stickers on shellac. Manicure requires a UV lamp to dry the applied layers of products. Gel polish is used by women with thin, fragile and brittle nails; it contains more gel in concentration, while shellac has more varnish. How to glue sliders:

1. Prepare and apply the gel polish base.
2. Dry under a UV lamp.
3. After drying, apply the background.
4. Lightly dry the acrylic.
5. Glue the slider onto the sticky layer.
6. Treat with a finishing layer of gel.
7. Finally dry under a lamp.

Before fixing the nails, you can modestly decorate them with rhinestones, broths, and add dot painting with acrylic paints. If the sticker is applied to the entire plate, a colored background is not used, but is worked in the sequence: base, sticky acrylic layer, slider, fixer (finish coating).

Small bouillons are used instead of 3D stickers

Some tips

Recommendations from masters and experienced nail design authors will help women create a beautiful manicure with stickers. Water-based and adhesive films adhere to the substrate in different ways. Some useful tips on how to properly apply nail art decorations:

1. The base is varnish - complete drying is not required.
2. Pure gel, shellac - fix the sticker on a sticky base.
3. Acrylic – the sticker must be applied accurately the first time.
4. Nail materials are spaced with an indentation of 1.5 mm.
5. The material should not extend beyond the nail or touch the skin.
6. If the sticker extends beyond the edge, it is folded over and sealed.
7. On shellac it is better to glue thick stickers all over the nail.

Broths, beads, and rhinestones are used on nails to create voluminous accents. Sometimes such elements are unnecessary in the design, because stickers and sliders are quite impressive on their own.

If the sticker doesn't stick

The design applied to the nails will last for a long time if:

• Dry the top coat thoroughly;
• minimize the likelihood of wrinkles on the sticker by drying the slider well;
• purchase quality stickers;
• dry the sticker before applying the top coat;
• properly seal the edges of the slider;
• purchase a high-quality primer, top coat, base coat, and UV lamp.

Unfortunately, in the work of any master, especially a beginner, there are mistakes. But if you practice more often and listen to the recommendations of professionals (they can tell you in detail how to do a manicure with stickers, which sliders are best to buy and how to use them), the manicure will turn out to be high-quality and original. To the delight of its owner and the envy of those around her.

Why sliders can peel or peel quickly

Some women note that the glued fragments do not last long, and the manicure loses its attractiveness after a couple of days. This mainly happens when design techniques are not followed. The features and nuances of attaching stickers lie in the combination of the base with the surface of the material. Water-based stickers are suitable for any base, photo designs are best attached under shellac, fragments with a transparent base fit well on gel polish, three-dimensional designs last a long time after drying with a UV lamp.

Stickers can be attached to all nails or used to decorate several nail plates.

Why do stickers quickly “fly off” and peel off:

• getting a foreign fragment or air bubbles under the sticker;
• non-compliance with the rules of gluing and fixing;
• use of low-quality material;
• Insufficient sealing of nails.

To avoid unpleasant “blunders” when performing a manicure, you need to adhere to a sense of proportion. Creative ladies can implement creative nail design ideas, experiment with color and texture. A few independent projects will help you quickly master the technique of applying stickers.

Negative sides

Despite the fact that there are quite a lot of advantages to this element of manicure decoration, sometimes girls still note some nuances that are somewhat disappointing in their presence. What are these nuances?

• Fragility - if we talk about ordinary manicure varnish, then the slide on it can last no more than three to four days. Subsequently, it begins to peel off or fall off in pieces. But since modern girls mostly use gel polish as the base for their manicure, this drawback disappears by itself - under the finish layer, the sticker is not able to deform.
• Difficulty in removing from the nail plate - since the sticker or slide acts as an ordinary film with a pattern, it is quite difficult to remove it using ordinary nail polish remover. You have to resort to additional manicure tools in order to scrape off the film that is firmly glued to the nail bed, which means additional time and effort.
• Difficulties with correct straightening on the surface of the nail - in order for the sticker to lie as evenly as possible on the nail (especially in cases where it is solid), you need to practice a little. The first times may still result in damage to some slides and the need to apply new blanks to the nail. But this is only a matter of short-term experience and acquisition of the appropriate skill.

In short, we can note the fact that the number of advantages of using slides is almost twice as many as the disadvantages of this procedure. It follows from this that the game is worth the candle - which is why most girls at this stage of the formation and development of the manicure service are using this method of decorating their nails in practice more and more often.
