Stylish marine manicure ideas with anchor

The trends in the design of manicure of the past five years are still manifested today in a modified interpretation. Improved modern 3D designs or nostalgic retro motives - individual choice. However, the number of lovers of stylish marine-themed manicure is not decreasing. Fashionable women choose images of seashells, waves, steering wheel, and, of course, a symbol of stability and hope - a ship's anchor as the decoration of nails.

If we consider the options for the image of a ship-themed figure on the nails step by step, two possibilities should be distinguished.

• The base for the drawing is being prepared, that is, the nails are covered with any varnish to taste. You can draw a background "under the vest". As the base dries out, a shape is drawn with a thin brush. A straight line is drawn along the nail, then two short stripes are drawn, creating the corner of the figure. A loop is drawn, at the end a point is put.

• Not only with the help of photo stickers, but also by the method of artistic painting, you can include additional drawings for a manicure, for example, a steering wheel, a lifebuoy, and chains. If you keep the balance and theme, you can create a unique design of your own.

• First, you need to select a drawing of a ship part from Internet sources. It is copied from the monitor onto paper. The drawing is cut along the contour and a stencil is obtained. The desired pattern is carefully transferred from the stencil onto the nails with the help of a foam sponge. To do this, the surface of the nail is gradually soaked in three layers. Each layer must dry.
