Each new season brings with it many interesting trends in the field of nail design. Some of them are becoming especially popular. This is affected, as a rule, by the combination of spectacular appearance and ease of execution. So the design trend goes to the masses and flaunts on the fingers of thousands of fair sex. A similar thing happened with the technique of painting on wet gel polish. She quickly gained universal love and recognition. We offer you to get acquainted with different patterns that are performed in this simple technique.
Design
Initially, in the painting on wet gel polish there were mainly floral motifs. The new season has made adjustments and created many options for the popular cover, so that every girl can create a unique masterpiece on her nails. Patterns in the form of multi-colored haze, abstractions, butterflies or the effect of a matte finish are now created on the basis of a persistent gel.
What unites all these innovations is one - the invariable technique of execution. First, in the usual manner, the first layer of colored varnish is applied and polymerized. Then the second thin layer is not dried, and a fashionable picture is immediately created on it. Only when the lines and contours on the surface of the nails begin to slightly leak, the manicure is sent for fixation under the lamp. For optimal results, professionals are advised to choose a gel with a medium density texture in order to get a good spreading effect.
Flowers
This is the design most often embodied on nails. Floral theme is always fashionable and in demand at any time of the year. The rose is most often depicted on the nails. The appearance of this flower is most suitable for working in the technique of wet gel polish. Luxurious fuzzy petals seem to soar in the air. The drawing is very interesting and voluminous.
To get a bright result, it is important to choose the right color combination.Then the manicure will look trendy and attractive. As a rule, such a design by itself looks quite catchy, so in most cases additional decorations are not required. Although you can use rhinestones. And add separate nails with a metallic rub to obtain a contrasting combination of techniques in one manicure.
Luxurious velvet roses are used to create a winter version of manicure. Create them using the same technique. Only the pattern of leaves and petals after application is immediately covered with acrylic powder. The effect is simply amazing. Do not forget that in such a design a top coating is not used, as it will destroy the charm of a voluminous fluffy pattern.
Not only roses are painted on wet gel polish. Various leaves and blades of grass, twigs, sakura blossoms in a stylish blurry design are also popular. Various tropical fantasy flowers are also performed in this technique. The patterns are obtained in the style of the avant-garde - very fresh and fashionable.
Dots and circles
This is a very popular topic for beginners and those who want to refresh their image, but have not yet decided how. This does not mean that you can only create a simple design. Having mastered the technique, you can create on its basis the most diverse complex patterns and figures. It can be butterflies, a fashionable reptile design, figures of animals and fantastic birds, hearts - anything.
You can draw points randomly over the entire area of the nail or set them in a clear direction. They are interconnected or superimposed on each other. In one manicure, you can use any number of colors. Various visual effects are very popular, from maximum realism (imitation of reptile skin) to free avant-garde in the spirit of impressionist paintings. Often a metallic gel polish with the effect of “cat's eye” is chosen for such a pattern.
To create such a pattern it is most convenient to use a special tool - dots. It resembles a regular pen with a round metal or plastic tip. The tool is very convenient, you can adjust the amount of paint taken and the thickness of the stroke by the depth of pressure. Beginners are advised to choose a universal tool with balls at both ends: small and medium size. If it is not possible to buy dots, you can use an empty pen for writing or a retro hairpin for stabbing hair with rounded ends.
Marble manicure
The design, unusually fashionable in the last season, looks amazing, and it is very simple to create. Enough varnishes of two contrasting shades. Most often, milk and black or malachite with gold are chosen. Thin veins are created in a contrasting (usually darker) color using the thinnest brush. You can take any other available substitute for a professional tool: a needle, a toothpick, and so on.
To get the most naturalistic effect, stains are made as chaotic as possible, resembling a natural pattern on a marble block cut. It is necessary to alternate more distinct lines with thin branches - branches.
Web
This pattern will be appreciated by lovers of elegant solutions. If the usual lace design, mesh or veil is already tired, you should try a more modern version. At the same time, we choose gel polishes of the most contrasting shade and the thinnest tool for applying a drawing from your existing ones. Traditionally, two colors can be used: the base and the "spider line" or even several colors for drawing the weaving threads.
This also includes drawings based on various stains and spirals. In the right color scheme, they are beautiful in themselves.It is also possible to create various fantasy drawings based on them. The technology is pretty simple. Several parallel straight lines are applied to the wet gel one after another, and several more at an angle to them. For a less distinct stylized drawing, you can take a fan-shaped brush. It will take only a couple of movements in two directions. The black pattern on a nude tone and the golden threads of the web on deep black look very cool.
Abstraction
Here your imagination is not much limited. You can take a different number of colors and various shapes. Use popular geometric patterns, blots in the style of children's doodles or stains in the technique of Japanese yuki flakes. There are a lot of options for creating a unique design. Blurred outlines look very gentle, like the finest porcelain painting. To get a different effect, you can add accents from the clear volumetric outlines of white or black to the pattern. At the same time, to obtain a stylish design, individual elements of the picture should not be strictly entered into the framework. It is better if the blurry edges go beyond the clear lines that repeat them.
To create a picture, you can use a variety of tools and available tools. The more chaotic and ill-conceived lines and elements are, the more original the whole design can turn out. The advantage of such a manicure is that it does not require special skills for its creation and is universal, as it suits different clothes and looks equally attractive on the nails of any shape and length.
Shells
Imitation of seashells does not have to be done in a color close to natural. Although the blue-green tone or noble mother of pearl in the painting is quite welcome. The drawing is based on the simplest elements - points. Dots will help to cope with the task qualitatively. With its help, several points in the form of a circle are applied to the surface of the nail plate. The next oval of points is made with a slight indentation and a larger radius of coverage of the area. The points are connected together in a circular motion or in a spiral. You can use the same tool or brush to do this.
Color spectrum
The popularity of certain shades changes every season. So, in the new they use green emerald, shades of chocolate, black, gold, all shades of burgundy, deep blue. Sometimes forgotten combinations, for example, a chameleon and black, come back into fashion. At the same time, there is a color palette, which is considered a kind of classic that never goes out of style. These colors form the basic basis for creating any kind of manicure: white and black, pink and milky, red and blue.
Less popular in manicure on wet gel polish are nude delicate shades. So that they do not get lost, they should pick up a very bright contrasting pair. Choosing a traditional combination or metallic color, you are definitely not mistaken. The trend is also deep purple, lavender, screaming fuchsia and coral. Different shades of gray can be used to design the background.
Schemes
If you doubt your abilities or have never created drawings with gel polish, it is worthwhile to step by step to perform a simple technique. The most popular among the fair sex are gentle feminine floral motifs. Rose is the queen of flowers and an exquisite attribute for decorating nails of any length and chosen shape. You can draw a flower using the following instructions.
- Preparing nails for the primer. We remove the old coating so that no trace remains. We make a warm bath with hand salt with a temperature of about 40 degrees. We remove the cuticle in the way you usually do.
- Choose the pattern and color of the future coating. They should be in harmony with the shape and length that you set to the nails.
- Level the surface with a buff and degrease. We cover with a primer. We lay out the tools for creating a pattern on the table.
- Be sure to cover all nails with base gel and dry under the lamp for 1-2 minutes.
- We take a colored gel polish for the main background and apply a thin layer, after which we send the nails to polymerization. Next, we work with each finger individually, with fixing after each pattern on the nail plate.
- We cover the nails with a second layer of varnish. On it, without drying, put dots or brushes on the dots, which are gently, in one easy motion, we extend into the petals of a flower or any other pattern.
- If necessary, add an additional decor to a still wet layer.
- Give the gel polish a little leak. In this case, the picture may mix somewhat with the main background, interesting color transitions are formed. This process takes approximately 10 seconds.
- We dry the resulting drawing under the lamp for 3-4 minutes. We cover with a top and remove the sticky layer. Do not forget to carefully cover the end of the nail with gel and finish.
Possible application errors
It’s very rare that even beginners complain that they didn’t succeed or failed the design for wet gel polish. Basically, errors arise at the initial stage of creating a coating or when choosing a means to create a fashionable manicure. Often, girls incorrectly choose the quality of gel polish. It should not be too watery so as not to drip from the nail. However, a thick varnish will be the wrong choice: it will not be able to create the desired spreading effect.
It is best to choose coatings from one manufacturer or special varnishes designed to create the desired spreading effect. Then you can get good quality and predictable behavior of gel polish. Often, masters create insufficiently high-quality dense main background. Apply at least two layers. At the same time, each is applied as accurately as possible, thoroughly drying and applying quite thinly.
When creating a drawing, the movements should be clear. It is not allowed to smear or hold several times in one line. We immediately make free strokes from dots in the form of straight, various zigzags or “commas”. Sometimes novice craftsmen remove the sticky layer from one of the coatings before applying the wet layer. This should not be done. It provides the necessary spreading and optimal adhesion of the layers of gel polish with the nail plate or with each other.
