How to do it?
For creating a wedding manicure at home, a jacket is well suited, since it can be done on any shape and length of the plates. In addition, this design goes well with outfits of different styles. To design a French manicure yourself, you must follow these steps step by step.
- First of all, the marigolds are carefully trimmed, and they are given the chosen shape. Then the surface of the plates is polished and degreased.
- When the nails are prepared and cleaned, they are covered with a base, then colored shellac, and dried in a UV lamp.
- After that, the most crucial moment begins - drawing the "smile" line. This can be done both with a thin brush and using special stencils. The latter option is recommended for beginners who do not have drawing skills. When gluing stencils, it is important to ensure that they fit snugly to the surface, special attention is also paid to painting the free edge. If the "smile" is drawn with a brush, then it is necessary to retreat from the edge of the marigold by a few millimeters.
- The procedure ends with the application of a top, which should be dried under a lamp. Decorating with rhinestones will help to add elegance to the manicure. They can decorate both all marigolds, and only one.
In addition, at home, you can create an equally interesting manicure for short nails, which will combine pastel pink and white shellac. To dilute the monotony of the design, the marigolds must be decorated with rhinestones and patterns from transfer stickers. Consistently it looks like this.
- First of all, the nails are prepared for work, for this they are filed, the shape is corrected and the cuticle is removed. Next, the plates are degreased and lightly sanded with a nail file. Thanks to this, it will be possible to get rid of the stratum corneum and improve the adhesion to shellac. After that, a primer is applied to each nail and cured in a lamp.
- Then, using a brush, cover the plates with a thin layer of shellac. After the first layer has dried, the second layer is applied and drying is repeated. The ring finger is decorated with a two-color coating and rhinestones.
- At the end, the sticky layer is removed and a sticker, previously cut in the shape of a marigold, is transferred to the middle finger. Everything is fixed with a top coat and dried for a few seconds under a lamp.
