BASIC NAIL ART DESIGN
3D Manicure
If you know anything about nail art, you know 3D nails are huge this season. We love
these over-the-top digits, but they’re often pro-level--with the exception of
these embroidery floss nails by Glitter She Wrote. These friendship bracelet-esque
accent nails are a nail newb’s BFF.
This technique is like any other painting where one can use a variety of brushes, which
are most suitable. Usually, ones with the synthetic bristles are recommended. One can
draw any template of choice by taking the help of these brushes. However, it needs
some minimum practice and skill for achieving the perfection in giving perfect strokes.
There are multiple types of brushes, for instance, angled, flat, line, detail, dotting, etc.
which can be used for constituting the different type of beautiful patterns on nails.
2. Sponge Bobbing
One can use this technique for getting gradient and achromatic kind of designs on nails.
The finishing you get after using sponge would likely be sprinkled and bespattered. One
can use any kind of sponge maybe, art, paint or makeup, or any other depending upon
the effect required and design expected. Usually, the base coat is applied, and it is left
to dry, and then sponge with nail polish is used and applied on the nails. You can
position sponge amiably or swiftly, as per the design you intend to make. To remove
extra edges, a chemical product called acetone can be used.
3. Stamping Looks Great
As far as nail stamping technique is concerned, first the image which is printed on the
nail needs to be covered by the stumpy layer of special nail paints in the image plate.
Later you can use scraper rigidly across so that only nail polish is seen as a residual in
the pattern. Then a stamper is used in rolling oscillation to cream the image and then
this image is systemized upon the nails.
4. Taping is Not a Task
A base color is initially applied on the nails, and then the tape is cut into small pieces
and later on applied to the nails. The tiny pieces of tapes are applied to those areas of
nails which are to be left in the base color itself. Then, you can apply the next coat of the
color you wish to apply on the unified nail. Lastly, you can remove the tape gently.
5. Digi World Nail Art
Nowadays, digital nail art machines have come up. These machines are more often
used with the therapists or beauty salons. The procedure is automated, and therefore it
takes very less time to get the desired nail art look. You can also get the scanned
photographs or pictures from digital cameras for printing on the nails. These machines
are quite expensive, like nearly 2000 to 5000 pounds.
