Today the nail industry offers clients a wide range of methods for creating a high-quality pedicure. From this list of products, the so-called gel polish is especially popular. This type of coating requires drying of each applied layer under a special drying lamp. At the same time, a high-quality pedicure stays on the nails for about three to four weeks without the need for adjustment.

Today, such coatings can be found not only in nail salons, they are also presented in a wide range on the shelves of specialized stores. The cost of gel polishes is quite acceptable, which, together with the lamp, allows you to create unique designs at home.

• glitter;
• broth;
• foil;
• narrow tape;
• kamifubuki;
• stickers;

Of course, not every type of decor can be mastered at home, since others require special equipment (for example, for photo printing).However, knowing the decorating technology, you can decorate your toenails with most of what is on the list.

• Rhinestones and crystals. This decor can have not only different sizes, but also different shapes. Based on this, a pedicure may differ in different surface relief. Of course, such a pedicure cannot be called convenient. However, it looks spectacular in a female evening dress or at photo shoots, special celebrations. Rhinestones are glued to the topcoat layer, and only after they are laid out in the form of a pattern are they fixed by drying.
• Glitter. At its core, glitter is nothing more than glitter. It can differ in fraction, have a different shape, and is used for an elegant and festive pedicure. In addition, it can be added to gel polish if simple gluing seems too boring. Today, it is customary to denote a small part of the nail with glitter, which makes the design more interesting.

• Broths. It is customary to understand broths as a special microbead. This decor is used to decorate nail plates in different ways. For example, in the simplest version, they are simply showered with a nail, which makes the design look extraordinary. More experienced stylists choose broths of different sizes to decorate accent toe nails and combine them with rhinestones. At the same time, wavy lines are laid out from the broths, as well as floral motifs on a part of the nail.
• Foil. This decor can rightfully be called one of the most demanded techniques of modern design. Today, the texture of such decoration can be varied, as well as the method of its use. These are tear-off and foil-film, stickers, and even crumpled varieties. This nail art always turns out to be spectacular, today it is in trend and can be both for the entire nail plate, and for its part.

• Narrow tape. The use of narrow adhesive tape or metallized strips has not been losing ground for about a year. It is actively used for geometric patterns and allows you to hide the joints between two contrasting shades of gel polish. You can use this decor for daily and festive pedicure. Due to the reflections, it adds elegance to even light coatings.
• Kamifubuki. Colored confetti or pedicure with sequins has established itself as one of the bright and extraordinary ways to decorate nails. If earlier they were predominantly round, then today, in addition to circles of different sizes and colors, you can buy hearts, stars, triangles and hexagons. This shape allows you to put different patterns on the nails. Kamifubuki are great for summer designs and look great on dark and bright backgrounds.

• Stickers. Various stickers with a ready-made pattern allow you to instantly transform any pedicure. There is no need to tediously draw small details, it is enough to remove the film, wet and remove the backing, and then glue the sticker itself on the accent nail on the top undried layer. If desired, in the future, you can decorate the drawings on top with rhinestones. In addition to additional durability, this decor allows you to add mood to any look.
• Stamping. Stamping on a contrasting basis is one of the original techniques for decorating a pedicure. As a rule, such a design looks professional, but is done in a matter of seconds. Considering that stamping can be done with thermal varnish, the picture can change its color. Stamping goes well with rhinestones and crystals. It is a good all-round solution for daily and holiday feminine looks.

• Newspapers. Creative girls will love this design. It looks original, attracts the views of others, while making it is not at all difficult. Pieces of old newspapers are placed in alcohol for a few seconds, after which they are tightly applied to painted nails (for about 30-40 seconds).After the required time has elapsed, a letter pattern is printed on the surface of the pigmented coating, which is subsequently covered with a layer of topcoat.
• Flock powder. This jewelry appeared in the nail industry quite recently, although women of fashion have already appreciated it. The pedicure turns out to be spectacular and unusual, the coating seems velvety. To create it is as easy as shelling pears: flock powder, which can be bought in a specialized store, is applied and dried on the undried varnish. Any selected shade will allow you to create a bright pedicure that will not go unnoticed due to the unusual finished texture of the coating.

Knowing the best nail decorating techniques, it is worth considering some design innovations.

• Underlining the cuticle area is in fashion. To do this, you can use rhinestones, gold or silver gel polish.
• French today strives for asymmetry. Instead of the upper "smile" arc, it is worth decorating the accent nail with a diagonal with lace and rhinestones.
• Contrasting designs can be vertical. The joints between plain and colored coverings can be closed with a row of rhinestones.

• Bulky jewelry is in fashion. If these are rhinestones, they must necessarily be different in size and volume.
• One of the new trends of the season is the partial decoration of the nail plates. Decorate no more than half of the nail, while not painting over its main part with pigmented gel polish.
• Translucent tones are popular, creating the effect of a natural nail. Moreover, the decor can be not only bright, but also creative.

• A lot of attention is paid to the bright colors of the gel polish. Wine and blue tones are in fashion, metallic luster of coatings is actual.
• Combinations of three contrasting tones are popular. Better to use the big and middle toes for accents.

If we talk about practicality, then the best solutions for everyday looks are nail designs with a minimum of volumetric elements. These are stripes, kamifubuki, bright water-based stickers and foil. Anything that can be peeled off is more suitable for special celebrations, because even with the utmost care it will not be possible not to cling to shoes with rhinestones. Using a polish with a metallic sheen, it is worth covering the accent nail with regular gel polish and decorating it with stones.
