Denim manicure
There are many designs for nail decoration for every day. Recently, denim manicure is very popular. This is due to the fact that most people in the world, spending their weekends, prefer pompous outfits to the “casual” style, and jeans in this fashion trend are the main type of clothing.
What nails is it suitable for?
Denim manicure can be matched to any shape and length of nails. Here, the main thing is to make the right choice in favor of the shade of the fabric that you will imitate on your hands. So, for short square-shaped marigolds, dark tones are suitable. A drawing of a longitudinal pattern is visually capable of stretching the length of the nail plate. Long nails allow you to use all sorts of shades of blue, ornaments in this case can be located in any plane. This will in no way make the shape of the nails awkward.
Instruments
To reproduce a denim design on your nails, you will need the following tools:
- gel varnishes in blue, black, white and nude shades;
- a piece of fabric as similar in texture to denim as possible
- stamp for carrying the pattern of the fabric;
- brushes of different thickness for underpainting and sketching;
- various decorative elements.
Choice of jewelry
For the design of a jeans-like manicure, you should use a decor that can be found on real jeans. All kinds of rivets, metal circles and triangles - all this can be used with ease.
For lovers of rhinestones: this decor can also be used. On jeans, you can also often find such elements. But here, the main thing is not to overdo it. Still, denim manicure shouldn't be too glamorous.
Also in the design "denim" stickers in the form of various zippers will be appropriate.
Application technology
Now most of the craftsmen in the neil industry, as well as women at home, use gel varnishes to create a manicure.
Below are step-by-step instructions on how you can create a denim design on your nails at home.
- First, we prepare the nail plate: remove the pterygium, cut off the cuticle, degrease the nail and apply a primer to it.
- Now paint the nail in the main color. To do this, we cover the entire nail plate with a blue tone. We dry it. Gel polish needs to be applied in several stages in order to get the perfect color without bald spots in the end.
- We take a piece of fabric, for example, it can be cut out of old jeans, and apply white gel polish on top with a brush.
- Cover the skin around the nail with Skin Defender. It will not allow the gel polish to be imprinted on the dermis, which means it will save you from having to wipe it off your fingers.
- Using a silicone stamp, transfer the texture of the fabric to the nail.
- We remove the protection from the skin around the marigold.
- If necessary, correct the drawing with a brush. This should be done if the white tone is too tight.
- Dry in a lamp.
You can leave the design like this, or you can add decorative elements in the form of traced lines, buttons, zippers.
