Animal manicure periodically comes into fashion in different variations. Nail art itself is extremely relevant this season, so it's no surprise that beautiful animal print designs are in demand again. We propose to study the most fashionable trends of the season, new ideas of nail art masters, learn how to step by step carry out a drawing in the form of an animal on your own.

Of course, most of the fans of such nail art are young girls, however, the images of animals are quite appropriate in age design. Of course, a pink teddy bear on a vanilla background in a 30-year-old woman's manicure will look odd. But a graceful owl, a seagull, subtle feline features will suit anyone. It is not at all necessary to draw animals on all marigolds; it is enough to select one or two to create the desired effect and attract attention.

In fact, there are incredibly many options for depicting animals. And they are performed in different styles, techniques, combined with other types of design. It is a mistake to think that animal drawing is always simple and even primitive. The composition can be quite complex and sophisticated. In addition, discreet nail art with animals will perfectly fit into a casual look, especially if you prefer creative ensembles.

Technically, there are quite a few animal design options, most often they are used in combination. You can consider the most popular methods.

• Using paints and special brushes, which should be purchased in advance from a professional store. However, certain skills are required for its implementation. If you are preparing for a celebration, it is better to trust a professional, especially if you are not very confident in yourself. Or you first need to properly fill your hand on pieces of paper, and then move on to your nails.

• Animal print is a great solution to create the necessary mood. It is much easier to make leopard spots, zebra stripes on your own, and you can complement the composition with stones, rhinestones and glitter.

• Gel polish is an excellent choice for those who prefer durability and know how to work with it. Draw on gel polish with ordinary paints or acrylics.

• Cartoon characters are simpler to perform and are very popular among young people, try to create the faces or silhouettes of Disney characters, Teddy bears.

• If all this is not for you, look for the applications or stickers you need, this method is the easiest and requires almost no skill, and it is also safe for nails.

• If you're a fan of minimalism, try stamping. This design looks realistic and modest. It needs stencils with the necessary species of animals and a special varnish.

• Graphics and origami are another technique that allows you to create an image of an animal. You will get an abstract and even surreal composition.

First of all, the nails must be cleaned, and if everything happens in a professional salon, then they will be cleaned with an apparatus. If you decide to act on your own, do not neglect the recommendations of specialists.

• Hands must be thoroughly washed, disinfected instruments: files, tweezers, cuticle sticks. Hygiene is a novice nail master's best friend, even at home.

• Work on the cuticle, remove it or push it back with a special spatula, but first hold your hands in a hot sea salt bath to make the procedure easier.

• File dry nails with a file, giving them the desired shape. If you need the help of scissors, work with them before steaming, otherwise you risk seriously damaging your nails.

• moisturize your hands and nails with the cream.

Immediately before manipulation, degrease your nails with a product that you usually use to remove varnish. This will make the coating more durable.

It can be any image: panda, dog, zebra and others. You can purchase raccoon, turtles and even elephant stickers. It all depends only on your desire, but the sequence of execution is always the same.

1. We apply a transparent base and base coat, it should be in harmony with the selected image and make a single composition with it. You may need more than one main layer, depending on the varnish you choose, it is important that it does not shine through.

2. Then the nails must dry, for this special lamps are used.

3. After that we glue the stickers. Or all nails, or just accent nails. It depends on your taste and the image you create.

4. A transparent reinforcing coating is applied over the drawings, and then you need to let it dry.

If you want to spice up a classic white French manicure a little, try a design with graceful birds or animals.However, the relevance is important here, the stencils you choose should not contradict the minimalist style of the jacket. We offer you an option for a laconic and stylish design:

1. apply the base and let it dry;

2. we glue the stencil below the nail edge and fill it with white paint or varnish;

3. we remove the stencil of a bird or animal, apply a transparent fixer.

It is not necessary to strictly position the pattern on all nails in the same way. If you chose birds as the image, a chaotic arrangement will look much more interesting. In addition, only one or two accent nails are sufficient.

As an example, let's take a ladybug, as the easiest to perform for beginners. In the future, you can experiment with butterflies, dragonflies.

1. We apply a snow-white varnish on a transparent base, let it dry, the number of layers may be different.

2. We take a brush and red varnish, draw a circle. You adjust the number of circles yourself based on the number of insects you want to portray.

3. Use black varnish to paint the back, paws and mustache, using the thinnest brush for this.

4. Make points with the help of dots, they can also draw white eyes.

5. Be sure to apply the fixer.

Animal nail design is quite catchy, but it does not exclude the use of various decorative elements and a combination of different manicure techniques. The following elements will definitely decorate the drawing of the animal and will not make the composition overloaded:

• stones and rhinestones of different sizes, but in this type of decor it is worth being more restrained and limiting its presence on one or two nails;

• rub that will perfectly liven up any kind of design;

• small broths;

• foil of various colors;

• decorative threads;

• openwork lace;

• feathers are ideal for depicting a luxurious bird;

• velvet, glitter dust, glitter;

• stickers, stencils, stamping, sliders, decals.

A gorgeous bird that spans multiple nails is a terrific way to do animal designs. To make the composition look more concise, give preference to calm shades, such as gray.

Pandas are one of the most popular nail art designs. They look great on neutral surfaces combined with luscious green accents.

It is not at all necessary to draw a whole animal, just an animalistic motive is enough. The tiger theme is very popular this season. Ginger and black catchy designs look great on white surfaces.

The image of a funny kitten in pastel colors on a pink background will perfectly complement the delicate twigs of pussy willow.

French manicure is the perfect backdrop for the realization of animalistic fantasies. If you highlight one or two accent nails with images of a wise fox, then the overall composition will be elegant and beautiful.
