Nail piercing: ideas and tips for performing
Every woman has a natural desire to decorate herself. One way to do this is through piercings. It is difficult to decide to pierce any part of the body. But to make piercing on the nails is quite easy and without consequences. This trend in manicure can be considered relatively new, it is still gaining popularity.
How do they do it?
Of course, in order to get your nails pierced, it is better to go to a salon. A qualified master will not only perform this procedure correctly, but will also preliminarily assess the condition of your marigolds, select a design and tell you how to properly care for them.
The essence of the procedure is as follows:
- first, the nail needs to be put in order - remove the cuticle, build up the nail or correct the shape of the existing one;
- a hole is made from the back of the nail plate with a special device with a drill;
- then the edges of the hole are well sanded, the selected coating is applied to the entire nail;
- after the coating is completely cured, you can insert the decoration.
Since you can buy all the manicure tools yourself (including a piercing drill), you can do it yourself or invite a friend. A mat made of elastic material is usually placed under the finger. If you have extended nails, the drill can be replaced with a heated thin metal knitting needle or a needle of the required diameter.
Tips and contraindications
The procedure for piercing a nail involves the fulfillment of a number of conditions that must be observed.
- Natural nails for such a procedure must be perfectly strong, without damage. Because cracks may appear on them.
- For piercing, extended nails are better than natural ones. They are stronger and easier to adjust.
- When choosing a finger, it is better to lean towards the middle or ring finger, and on the non-working hand. This reduces the risk of injury.
- The more punctures in the nail plate, the easier it is to break it.
- Getting rid of the piercing is simple - you just need to cut or remove this part. The extended marigolds have an additional advantage in this, they can be quickly restored, with natural ones - you will have to wait until they grow back.
If your activity is associated with active work with your hands, it is better to remove the piercing for a while, as there is a risk of serious injury.
Types of jewelry
The piercing is done to showcase a new piece of jewelry. Moreover, it does not have to be valuable, on the contrary, since there is a risk of losing it, then it is worth spending only in exceptional cases. You can buy such products both in specialized stores and via the Internet. In this case, the material is completely unimportant - it can be metal or plastic. In this case, you can seriously show your imagination, for example, by making a couple of jewelry from old costume jewelry.
Various options are possible.
- Small jewelry - in the form of rings or stud earrings. This option is the most practical and, despite its modest size, can be decorated with beads, rhinestones and so on. Rings can be ordinary or with pendants - with different decor and length.
- Chains - connecting fingers in pairs or attached to rings. This design will not be left unattended, but without habit it causes certain inconveniences.
- Stylized - in the form of letters, numbers, symbols, silhouettes. Initials, ornaments in the form of significant objects are often used.
Particular attention should be paid to the fixing method. It is better if it is a lock that opens easily and allows you to remove the jewelry for a while or quickly change it to another.
Design
Of course, even in nail design, everything should be harmonious. And the piercing shouldn't look like a foreign object. Thus, you can decorate nails made in almost any design - lunar, French, ombre.
To accentuate the elegance of the all-over solid color, choose a pair of discreet embellishments. These can be simple rings. For warm shades “like gold”, for cold ones - “like silver” or with a pronounced shine.
For a delicate manicure and decorations, you will need the appropriate ones - delicate, graceful, unobtrusive. The shine of all kinds of coatings with glitter, metallic effect, transparent or colored crystals will accentuate.
When choosing a design, you can adhere to the following rule: the richer the decor of the coating, the more modest the decoration should be. The overloaded options are only suitable for master competitions or special occasions.
Sometimes you can choose a specific theme for design - with characters from comics or cartoons, summer, winter. Then jewelry for piercing should be appropriate. By the way, it is now fashionable to emphasize certain events (wedding, birth of a child) or holidays (for example, New Year) with the help of manicure.
