The image can be applied using different techniques, most often it is done using gel varnishes, a brush, fimo sticks and stickers with a 3D effect. As for the design itself, women of fashion perform it in different ways.

Fruit stickers are not only attractive, but also difficult to distinguish from gel prints. Such stickers can be applied to both all and individual marigolds.Due to the fact that this design technique is considered the simplest and most accessible, it is very popular among novice craftsmen. The main thing when creating a decor is to paste over the plate correctly and with high quality.

The decor technique is as follows: "fruit" sliders are applied to the previously prepared surface of the plates and fixed on top with a finishing coat. In addition, marigolds can be additionally decorated with sparkles, stones and rhinestones. Depending on the wishes, the design can be carried out with flat and volumetric decorative elements that have the effect of molding. At the same time, the latter look better on elongated marigolds. The varnish for the background is selected in accordance with the palette of the image and can be either bright or pastel. Such a manicure is practical and durable.

For those girls who are proficient in drawing, sweet compositions can be painted on their own using colored varnish and brushes.
