A stylish look also means having a beautiful manicure. There are many techniques that make it very easy for beginners to master gel polish design. This technique includes patterns on nails with a needle. Schemes of such nail art can be easily found on the Internet to master its creation step by step. Therefore, always start by studying the diagrams.
Drawings on nails with a needle
A manicure can set the tone for the entire image. It’s so easy to diversify your look, causing everyone’s admiration. The most important manifestation of such a manicure is a thoughtful pattern. Just how to paint your nails beautifully, where to get inspiration? In fact, learning how to draw with a needle step by step is very simple.
For a manicure at home you will need the following materials:
- different colored nail polish;
- primer, base, top;
- needles of different diameters (can be replaced with a toothpick, dots would also be a good alternative).
With a thinner needle you can make the curls of the pattern more graceful. But you will also need a thick needle, which can be replaced with a dots needle. With its help you can make a beautiful flower or other large element on your nail.
It is better to start mastering the technique with conventional coloring agents. Then a primer with base and top will not be required. But clear varnish will be needed. Take nail polish remover - this way you can immediately correct unsuccessful experiments.
Of course, without skill it is inconvenient to draw with needles - they are small and thin. But you can resort to a little trick: you can insert the needle into a regular pencil or fix it in an empty pen using a plate. Then drawing will not cause you much trouble - you will draw various valves, curls and ornaments, just like with a regular pen.
You should start with abstract patterns - without experience, it will be difficult for you to recreate the same pattern on all nails. It would be a good idea to first practice on artificial tips.
What is required for such a manicure?
For home-made creative delights in the field of nail art, you don’t need much with a needle. Firstly, endurance, patience and a focus on positive results will not hurt. Secondly, you will need the following tools and supplies:
- sewing needles of various sizes, including gypsy needles;
- toothpicks;
- a set of multi-colored nail polishes;
- fixative or clear varnish;
- napkins;
- prepared workplace - table, chair and good lighting.
Manicure is done with a needle of various sizes and toothpicks. Using the latter, you can create very interesting and quite complex patterns. To create large designs, large needles are used, and for small details, correspondingly miniature ones are used.
Varnishes are the main consumables. These are unique paints for your nail art. Wipes will help keep the skin of your hands and desktop clean, and remove varnish from the needle.
- Nourishing and moisturizing almond oil for facial skin is one of the best remedies.
- Mesotherapy for hair is a very effective procedure that will quickly and efficiently solve all hair-related problems, details here.
For short and long nails
Let's consider options for the simplest designs on nails with your own hands, taking into account the length of your nail plate. If you have short nails, then the main thing is not to overdo it. A minimum of patterns is the main rule of successful design! It is also better not to use large and thick ornaments - they look rather tasteless. It is better to decorate just one or two fingers on each hand with delicate thin curls.
But for long nails there are no restrictions. But you should still follow some rules:
- It is better to draw patterns on a thick layer of the base coating.
- Start with simple shapes. These include: stains, twigs, peas, leaves, roses, stars, butterflies.
- Usually done on a single-color coating, but you can experiment. For example, you can divide the space of the nail with two shades of polish, applying a different pattern to each half.
- The drawing should start from the little finger, then you will prevent the shape from breaking.
- Create shallow strokes when you draw specific images.
- You can only draw on the ring finger - this technique is very popular now.
- Additionally, if desired, any design can be decorated with stickers, decorative ribbons, and sparkles.
Drawing technique
There are two main techniques for applying images with needles:
- Dry . Apply drops of varnish to the already dry varnish, creating beautiful stains on the surface using a needle.
- Wet . Apply the drops directly to the wet varnish, quickly using the needle.
Of course, the first technique is preferable for beginners due to its simplicity. But in the case of the wet version, you need to have time to create a certain pattern before the varnish dries. In the case of gel polishes, the task is simplified - they will not dry without a special lamp.
The application scheme is very simple. Apply drops of varnish of the desired color to the main background. Start moving the needle from the middle of the drop beyond it, drawing some kind of pattern. In this way you can create circles, lines, figures of eight, flowers, leaves. You can paint with several colors of varnish at once - this way the result will be more impressive.

Drawing on gel polish
If you have artistic skill, then you can create real works of art on your nails. With the help of gel polish, the resulting manicure will delight you for a very long time - up to three weeks. Consider the option of creating a manicure using a varnish strip and a needle.
- Prepare your nails thoroughly - this is the key to wearing gel polish for a long time. To do this, remove the cuticle, process the side ridges, and give the nails the desired shape. Sand the surface of the plates using a buff.
- Apply primer for better adhesion, followed by base. Dry in a lamp. In a UV lamp, the base layer dries for two minutes; in an LED lamp, half a minute is enough.
- Next, apply a layer of colored varnish and dry. It is always better to apply gel polish in two layers - this way the color turns out more saturated. But at the same time, the layers should be very thin, do not put a lot of varnish on the brush. The manicure will also be more neat; it will be easier to apply the polish as close to the cuticle line as possible.
- In the middle of the nail, draw a stripe in a contrasting color or simply apply stripes of dots. After this, do not dry the varnish, but immediately proceed to painting.
- Use a needle to make wave-like movements from the center of the strip beyond its outline. Repeat these steps on the other side of the strip. Complete the resulting pattern with small chaotic dots that can be applied with dots.
- If you are satisfied with the result, dry it safely in a lamp. If not, remove the layer of wet varnish and try again.
- Don’t forget to secure the finished result with a finishing coat and seal the loose ends well - this will guarantee that in just a few days there will be no chips or cracks in your manicure.
Adviсe
