Using a needle
The easiest way to create an unsurpassed manicure are patterns created using the most ordinary sewing needle. In order to create such a manicure, you will need several varnishes (the more varnishes are used, the more interesting and unique the finished work will be) and a regular needle
When choosing the color of varnishes, special attention should be paid to the fact that effective combinations should be created in contrasting shades; if this is not possible, then simply different colors will suit the wave. If you do not pay attention to this issue, the created pattern on the nails will merge and will not produce the desired effect.
The technology for making such a pattern is quite simple:
- First you need to cover the entire surface of the nail plate with colorless varnish. This simple procedure will help protect your nails from all kinds of damage when working with a sewing needle.
- After the clear varnish has completely dried, you need to apply one coat of the base varnish, which will serve as a tone. If the color of the varnish you have chosen is not saturated enough, this procedure can be repeated again.
- Depending on which design scheme you have chosen for your nails, you need to make small dots or lines without waiting for the background varnish to dry completely.
- Using a needle you need to create the selected pattern. To do this, you need to carefully mix the varnishes with each other.
- After complete drying, the finished drawing must be coated with a fixative. This will extend the life of your manicure.
Just like with a needle, beginners can work with a thin brush. The vast majority of manicure products have a very long brush, which is practically unsuitable for comfortable work, especially for those who do not have sufficient experience. Experts recommend practicing on paper before applying the design to your nail. This will help rid your nails of the excessive influence of acetone on them.
