How to paint with gel polish on nails?
Gel polish is used to paint using the “wet on wet” technique, which is also called “wet on wet” . This design is very easy to make .
Step-by-step instructions on how to learn how to paint on nails with varnish:
- Apply one coat of the background color to the nail and cure in a lamp.
- There is no need to dry the second layer. Apply drops of contrasting colors onto it, and use a thin brush or dot to make streaks.
Gel polish is not suitable for complex patterns. It is impossible to draw thin lines with it because it spreads. Large elements are easier to draw. For example, French or reverse French.
If you decide to apply a complex pattern with gel polish, then apply the paint in thin layers, and then dry each one in a lamp. This makes it more likely that the image will not float.
When choosing gel polish for drawings, pay attention to the pigmentation of the material. Transparent colors are not suitable for design. They can be used as a background. The drawing requires rich and dense colors, otherwise the pattern will be difficult to see.
Small elements and lines with a thin brush
If you need to make a light, barely noticeable and at the same time sophisticated design, small elements with a thin brush will do the job perfectly. This design can be completed in a matter of minutes, does not require practice and looks original.
With a thin brush you can paint a large beautiful flower on a neutral background, as in the photo. The combination of only two shades and the intricate interweaving of lines, as when making a rose, allows you to achieve an elegant and feminine manicure. Decorate your ring finger with a small pearl matching the color of the design to highlight the painting, the background color, and make the design elegant.
