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.

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.
