Design with fimo is at the peak of popularity now. This technique involves the creation of voluminous fruit patterns. Fimo is a small stick that resembles a regular pencil. It is based on polymer clay. In length, it can reach fifteen centimeters. To create a voluminous fruit pattern, nail art masters cut it into thinnest slices, which are then fixed on the nails. An interesting feature of fimo is that they not only imitate the color of a particular fruit, but are made in an identical form. For example, in the form of watermelon, kiwi, banana, apples, strawberries and others. If for some reason you do not want to create a manicure with a 3D effect, then the sticks can be cut very thin, almost flat plates, fixed on the nails and filed a little.

How to do it?
Making a manicure with fruits on your own is not difficult at all, the main thing is to do it slowly, step by step, in accordance with the instructions.
You need to start with the preparation of the nail plates. They are given a suitable shape, the surface is smoothed and polished, and the cuticle is corrected. Degrease the nails before applying the coating. The fruity design will look beautiful on nails of any length, but the nail art master recommends giving preference to medium-length marigolds.

Then a colorless or translucent base is applied. Several coats are required. You can start drawing fruits (lemon, kiwi, passionfruit, watermelon and others). Each drawing is created in several stages.

First, the hole is painted with colored varnish, and then neat lines are drawn with a thin brush. Then the hole is decorated "under a crust" in accordance with the type of fruit: on citrus and watermelon - white varnish, on pitayhai - pinkish. Then you need to draw another strip, identical to the color of the peel of the depicted fruits.
Draw the contours of citrus slices with white varnish. If a kiwi is depicted, then with the help of white and black gel polish, its core is formed, corresponding to the fruit in real life. For this, several stripes are drawn from the lunula to the tip of the marigold. Black gel polish is used to depict dots. They can be made with a thin brush, toothpick, or dots. In the same way, small black dots are put in the core of the pitahaya; in the watermelon, they should be made a little larger. Water droplets add realism to the fruit.

After creating the pattern, the entire surface of the nail is covered with a top. It will help the drawing stay in perfect condition for a long time. If you doubt your abilities, then in the process of creating a fruit manicure, you can not paint the nails, but stick applications with fruits or berries.

Beautiful examples
A fruit manicure with apples of two shades on a nude base looks interesting, but restrained, so it can even be worn to work in the office. The nail depicts not a whole apple, but only its half with a tail and a leaf. Since the fruit decorates the tip of the nail, this design resembles a French manicure by the technique of execution.

The decoration of the nails with a plain soft yellow varnish and the decor of the ring fingers with a half-peeled banana on a white background looks very warm and tender. Thanks to the clear black lines with which the fruit is drawn, it looks very realistic.

Such a manicure is suitable even for an evening out. The main background is light yellow, and on it pineapple is lined with golden foil, the tail of which is filled with small rhinestones. In order for the fruit not to merge with the base tone and rise somewhat above it, the outline of the fruit is decorated with white gel polish.
One of the trends of the season is watermelon manicure. It can be performed using the actual technique of the moon manicure.
For this, the hole is covered with a green varnish of two colors with a characteristic color of a watermelon crust. The main part of the nail plate is covered with the color of red flesh with black bones. Applied over the pattern, golden glitter gives the effect of "sugar" and festivity.
