How to make?
To create a wedding manicure at home, a jacket is well suited, as it can be done on any shape and length of plates. In addition, this design is perfectly combined with outfits of different styles. To independently arrange a French manicure, it is necessary to perform the following steps in stages.
- First of all, the nails are carefully trimmed, and they are given the chosen shape. Then the surface of the plates is polished and degreased.
- When the nails are prepared and cleaned, they are covered with a base, then colored shellac, and dried in a UV lamp.
- After that, the most crucial moment begins - drawing the line of the “smile”. This can be done with a thin brush, as well as using special stencils. The latter option is recommended for beginners who do not have drawing skills. When sticking stencils, it is important to ensure that they are snug against the surface, special attention is also paid to painting the free edge. If the "smile" is drawn with a brush, then it is necessary to retreat from the edge of the nail by a few millimeters.
- The procedure ends with the application of a top, which should be dried under the lamp. Rhinestones will help to add elegance to manicure. They can decorate both all nails, and only one.
In addition, at home, you can create an equally interesting manicure for short nails, which will combine pastel pink and white shellac. In order to dilute the uniformity of the design, the nails must be decorated with rhinestones and patterns from decals. Consistently, it looks like this.
- First of all, the nails are prepared for work, for this they are filed, the shape is adjusted and the cuticle is removed. Next, the plates are degreased and lightly sanded with a nail file. Due to this, it will be possible to get rid of the stratum corneum and improve adhesion to shellac. After that, a primer is applied to each nail and the lamp is dried.
- Then, using a brush, a thin layer of shellac covers the plates. After the first layer has dried, the second is applied and the drying is repeated. The ring finger is decorated in the form of a two-color coating and rhinestones.
- At the end, the sticky layer is removed and a sticker pre-cut in the shape of a nail is transferred to the middle finger. Everything is fixed with a finish coating and dried for several seconds under the lamp.
