Manicure with a feather: stylish design options and a description of the technique for decorating nails

A feather manicure attracts with its uniqueness and lightness. But not everyone dares to repeat it on their nails. It seems that it is very difficult to draw it neatly and beautifully. But knowing some tricks, any fashionista can surprise everyone with an exquisite pattern on her fingers.

In addition to the pen itself, you can envisage interesting options for designing a manicure. With a competent combination of techniques and design, you will receive an original design option and bring your wildest ideas to life.

Rhinestones will perfectly complement a manicure with a feather. And although in wildlife you will not find birds with stones in their plumage, it looks very natural. After all, rhinestones may well imitate drops of water falling on feathers and shining in the sun. The exact size and color of the stones to use depends on the overall style and size of the feather itself.

You can complement the classic French manicure with a weightless feather. It will look very feminine. At the same time, the feather itself can be decorated in dark colors, so that it is clearly visible against a light background. Do not repeat it on every nail. One feather on the hand will be enough to make an accent.

The peacock feather is a very striking accent. You can strengthen it with emerald varnish on the rest of the nails. The peculiarity of such a manicure is that not every image will look harmonious in a duet with it.Therefore, think in advance about the wardrobe that you can try on. It is still better to make it for a specific (festive, thematic, etc.) bow.

One pen for several fingers looks very interesting. When you connect your fingers, a single pattern will be formed. Separately, only individual elements will be visible on the fingers, which also looks aesthetically pleasing. you can draw it yourself. The main thing is to correctly draw the center line (rod) so that it is located at the same level with the fingers connected together.

In addition to the image of the feather itself, you can add sliders with the image of the bird itself or other themed objects to the design. It will be difficult to paint such small elements with a brush, so using stickers (or sliders) is the best option.

You can decorate with a feather and broths. Small grains of sand will not stand out much against the general background. At the same time, you will provide volume and a unique interesting design. They can be used on the pen itself or separately from it. For example, they can be used to line the corners of adjacent nails (the color is matched to the tone of the feather).

A feather manicure is ideal for those looking to diversify their everyday look., at the same time does not allow too bright or catchy design. A white feather on a fairly light background will be almost imperceptible, but such a zest will only decorate and add sophistication to the image.

If you want to try luxurious designs on your own nails, then feathers will come to the rescue. This design is not as "hackneyed" as animal prints (leopard, tiger, etc.). In this case, a peacock feather or just bright colorful patterns imitating the color of exotic parrots will suit you.

If you know how to use acrylic, then you can easily create a three-dimensional image of a feather on the nail. This will require some skill to draw the subtle details of the fan. Otherwise, it will be visually heavy.

Ethnic manicure can be supplemented with an Indian feather. Graphic drawings on other fingers will help to emphasize a given theme. It should be understood that it will be absolutely inappropriate with a strict business suit. But with clothes in hippie, ethnic or boho styles, it will only emphasize the individuality and uniqueness of the image.

The matte finish gives a special aristocracy and restraint to the whole image. Feather manicure is no exception. Just complete the procedure with a matte finish and you will see how much the overall impression of the created design will change.

There are several ways to create such an interesting design on your own nails. Each of them has its own pros and cons. Having familiarized yourself with all, you can easily make your own choice, based on the available opportunities and preferences.

With its help, you can create real masterpieces on the nail. The design will be truly original and unique. But not every girl knows how to draw beautifully. This is the main disadvantage of this design, since for its implementation you will have to rely only on your own strengths and skills. In addition, you will need several shades of varnishes at once. Only in this case the feather will look organic and natural.

How to draw a classic version of the pen, we will analyze in stages a little below. Here we will talk about the advantages that this version of execution gives:

• the ability to choose a palette of colors at will;
• unique design that can be different on each finger;
• the ability to draw a single pen passing from one finger to another.

The simplest and most affordable option for placing any pattern on the nail. In specialized stores, you will find a large selection of all kinds of designs and solutions. At the same time, they are inexpensive. Choose the one that suits you and transfer it to the nail.There is nothing complicated here in terms of technique. Cut out the desired element, place it on a pre-painted nail. The last step will be the application of a protective (top) coating.

Another fairly simple way to depict a beautiful feather on your own nails. According to its characteristics, it is closer to painting with a brush. Having applied the main contour using a special stencil and stamp, you can complement it with sparkles or other shades of your choice. In this case, no one can distinguish it from a hand-drawn one. And you can proudly say that you really drew it yourself.

With its simplicity and decorativeness, this method also has a significant drawback. Buying a complete set for stamping is beneficial only for practicing masters, since its cost will quickly pay off. At home, however, it will be quite expensive. Especially if you only use it a few times at a time. It is better to purchase appropriate stickers or contact a salon.

To get a manicure with a feather, you can simply buy or find the feather itself. It can be both artificial and natural. For design, only the upper part is used, since it is it that is quite thin. In this case, it is still better to do such a manicure with gel polish, as it creates a more durable coating. After you try in which direction and how the pen will lie, the nail is covered with an additional layer of varnish or special glue. We apply the pen, gently press it against the nail plate with a stick. All excess is cut off with scissors, then a protective layer is applied.

There are a lot of techniques for making a picture and its design. We will consider the classic version of creating a feather that will look neat in any color scheme. Here we will draw it in several shades to achieve the most natural pattern. If this is your first time doing it, try not to skip a single step. In the future, you will be able to adjust them and add your own elements.

• It all starts with the preparation of the nails. They must be straight and the same length. I must say that feathers look best on long nails, since the drawing takes up enough space. Remove the cuticle. Choose the most familiar way for this. You can simply soften it with a remover and push it aside with an orange stick, or you can make a full-fledged edged manicure.

• Base coat application. Many people neglect this stage, and in vain. A professional master will never apply colored varnish directly to the nail plate. First, the base has a protective function. It protects the nail from pigmentation (especially if bright colors are used). Secondly, due to this, the nail becomes smooth and the main color lays down more evenly, without flaws. Wait until it dries completely. If you have gel polish, then dry it in the lamp.

• Several options are possible here. You can cover all the nails with one color, and draw a feather on one, or paint the nail with a pattern in a different color. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that all shades are harmoniously combined with each other. We cover the nails with a colored base in 2 layers, let them dry well.

• The pen design we have chosen is best repeated on a light background. We take a thin brush and beige varnish. We collect varnish on a brush and outline the outline of the future pen. It looks very much like a leaf of a tree. Draw the central groove.
• Draw the feather itself with the same beige color. To do this, moving from the center line of the pen to the sides, we make abrupt strokes. It's okay if they go slightly beyond the contour. But it's better to stick to the specified perimeter. As a result, the beige borders should be erased, and in their place the ends of individual elements of the feather should appear.

• Now we need 2 darker shades: red (closer to brown) and brown. First, draw the strokes with a lighter shade, and then with a darker one. The movements are identical to those performed with beige lacquer. The brush can be taken a little thicker so that the strokes are more visible.
• If you want to add shine, then take a glitter and walk it in some places on the pen.

• Draw the nib with a thin brush with white varnish. The line should be thicker at the base and transition into a barely visible thread towards the end.
• After the pattern has dried, cover it and all other nails with a top coat. This will extend the life of the entire manicure and protect the feather.

The quality of the tool you work with plays a big role. It is not for nothing that professional attributes are much more expensive. Firstly, they have a longer service life, and secondly, they provide high-quality processing of nails (they do not damage the nail plate, do not injure or pull the skin, etc.). Therefore, if you are doing your own manicure, do not skimp on materials.

Feel free to experiment. Rhinestones, sparkles and broths will help to create a unique design. This does not mean that you have to line all your nails with them. A small shiny accent will be enough to spice up the manicure. A feather manicure looks very delicate. It does not require a special style of clothing and special tools to perform. Nobody says that you need to do it all the time. But it's definitely worth trying at least once.
