Manicure with a "knitted" design can be done at home. There are several ways to apply a volumetric ornament.

If we consider the process of decorating nails in the "sweater" style with ordinary varnish, then step-by-step instructions will be convenient for a beginner. So, first you need to process the nails: align and sharpen them, pay attention to the cuticles. Then apply the base base and after the layer has dried, apply the selected varnish shade. The product is applied in several layers with the obligatory thorough drying of each layer. Next, with a thin brush, you need to apply an ornament to the finished background.

In designs using regular varnish, the pattern is not as voluminous as with the gel method. However, if you get used to it, you can bring the knitted pattern closer to the original with the help of varnish. It is necessary to create an ornament by applying in several layers, each of which should also dry well.

At the end of the process, the surface of the finished marigolds must be fixed with a special tool.

Gel polish will give the client the expected effect of bulky coarse knitting. To decorate nails with a gel product, you also need to purchase or rent a special lamp and purchase the product itself. The lamp will provide fast and reliable drying of the gel.

In the first step, you also need to prepare the surface of the nails and apply a base coat to strengthen the gel and level the surface. Then apply gel polish in two layers.Each layer must be dried under a lamp for 2 minutes.

Now you can start drawing weaving: using a thin brush and gel, the desired ornament is also applied in several layers. Do not forget to dry each layer.

Gel polish with acrylic powder is applied in the same sequence as for gel manicure. Only at the end, the last layer is sprinkled with powder before drying in the lamp. This method of decorating nails will cause not only affection, but also delight from the small villi on the manicure, repeating the texture of the knitting yarn. Acrylic powder also strengthens the manicure, it can be sprinkled on the entire surface of the nail or just the pattern. In both cases, there will be a spectacular design. In addition, white powder or multi-colored powder can be used.
