Nail Cartoons: Features and Design Ideas

This year is rich in new items in the field of nail art. And one of the most popular varieties of design has become a cartoon manicure. Of course, most often fans of this option are teenage girls or young girls. However, this does not mean at all that such design is unacceptable for ladies at a respectable age. Even cartoon characters allow you to emphasize the character of a woman.

It’s been a long time since anyone could surprise anyone with a classic french jacket, moonlight manicure or traditional sequins; therefore, cartoon characters came to the aid of masters in manicure. Design is selected taking into account personal preferences and social status. For example, the Little Mermaid will be able to emphasize a tender and romantic nature in a woman, and Winnie the Pooh will indicate that this lady is easy-going and has a good sense of humor.

Nowadays, cartoons are not always fun for kids. Among the animated films there are many such that are recommended only for older children or for adults, for example, “Shrek”, “The Simpsons”, “King of the Hill” and others.

The advantage of a cartoon manicure is the ability to stand out from the crowd. It is unlikely that a woman with cartoon characters on her nails will accidentally meet another lady with the same design. Among the cartoon characters, you can choose your favorite character, or you can try to make a manicure with the most popular cartoons.

By the way, this is a great option for those who are spinning in business. In this area, attachment to cartoons is widely used, favorite characters adorn entire product lines. Such a design is also relevant for developers of online games, which also create a lot of variations on the theme of cartoon travel.

You can time a cartoon manicure for a specific occasion. For example, going to a children's birthday, you can depict Batman or the Winx fairy on the nails, depending on the gender of the birthday. A great reason to make cartoon nails - Children's Day. In the New Year, a cheerful design will bring even more celebration to the home atmosphere.

There are many options for this design. Let us dwell on the most original ideas.

An interesting option is the image of Alice from Wonderland. Only an art master can draw characters manually, but picking up stickers is easy in online stores. You can depict Alice on one finger, and cover all other nails with a neutral color or schematically draw White Rabbits or Cheshire Cat smiles. Another option is the image on each nail of a separate character of the work.

Spider-Man, Batman, Superman - there are many options. By the way, they are quite easy to depict manually. For example, instead of Superman himself, you can draw his famous S logo on a blue background. If this is Spider-Man, then one of the options is the image of his face covered with a spider web, with white glades of his eyes. The remaining nails can also be covered with a "net". In the case of Batman, his rather simple sketchy logo will help out again.

For a light romantic young girl, a manicure with fairies is suitable. It can be the famous Wings fairies, each of which can be placed on a separate nail, or maybe the famous friend of Peter Pan Tinker Bell. For example, it turns out very beautifully the black silhouette of a delicate Ding-Ding on a white coating. On one nail, she can blow off stardust, on the second she can direct a magic wand, on the third she can enjoy the flight and so on.

Another option for tender, dreamy young ladies is design with princesses. Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Aurora and many other princesses will add to the image of the young person a share of romance and cute childish naivety. Even a faithful companion of Aladdin Jasmine will do. But you need to be careful with bright princesses so that the design does not look sloppy. It is better to place the princess on only one nail, and decorate the rest with accessories - depict beads, bracelets and other accessories of the cartoon princess with sequins and rhinestones.

Fun, beautiful and original look nails on which the bears are painted. For a young dreamer, Teddy's cute bears are suitable, for a woman who wants to please her child, the image of the famous Bear and his girlfriend Masha is suitable. Another interesting option is Winnie the Pooh. By the way, both the domestic bear and the Disney bear are popular in the field of nail art. Russian Winnie the Pooh is easier to portray. For example, on one finger we draw its muzzle, and on all the others - traces of its paws. You can draw a bear schematically, the silhouette of Winnie the Pooh flying on a ball looks original.

In preparation for the upcoming New Year celebration, you can also use cartoon characters. We have already mentioned Peppa Pig. From the cartoon pigs you can still recall Funtik and Piglet. Here are a few more options for New Year's design: the funny snowman Olaf from the animated film "Frozen", the embarrassed red-nosed deer Rudolph, the cheerful Chestnut Nutcracker, the grinning Grinch.

The nail design in the Marvel style looks very original. Batman and Spider-Man are already mentioned above, but a manicure depicting superheroes from the Avengers team deserves special attention. Ant-Man, Thor and the Hulk will look great on the nails of a modern lady, a lover of comics.

Another popular design option is the image of the heroes of The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad. This manicure is also suitable for young people, and for ladies in age. Confused Lisa Simpson will emphasize the mystery of the owner of this unusual design, and Brian Griffin will indicate a good sense of humor. The most daring ladies are not afraid to use even the vulgar heroes of the "South Park".

There are a lot of options for applying a similar design to nails, consider the most popular ones.

This is the most time-consuming option for applying the cartoon, but it also looks very bright, fun, original. In addition, you can choose the most simple drawing. For example, the Minions. It is not necessary to draw an entire character, you can simply paint the nail with yellow color, denoting the famous eye of this cartoon character. Let's try to figure out how to create such a design step by step.

• In a standard way, we prepare the nails for manicure. You can use the European method. When the nails are ready, cover them with a base.
• Next, apply yellow polish to the nail plates. It is better to perform two layers at once, so that the color is more rich and noticeable.
• Now we take a blue varnish and execute it a blue strip on the tip of the nail like a jacket. It is better again to make two layers at once. The trait itself should be straight, and not along the contour of the nail, if, for example, these are nails in the form of almonds. The most successful option for design is square nails.

• We draw two lines on the sides with a black lacquer liner towards each other. With gray lacquer and with the help of the dots in the center between these features we draw the eye of the minion. You can do the drawing manually.
• Now with black varnish using a thin brush we draw a smile. There is nothing complicated - in fact, this is an ordinary bracket.

• At this time, the gray base of the eye has already dried up, so we add a white drop to its center, and when it dries, put a black dot - the pupil.
• Apply the top to the finished drawing.
• It is better to apply the design on only one nail, on the rest you can perform a yellow-blue French manicure.

Applying the design to the nail using a slider or sticker is a simpler option, but here some rules must be followed. When performing design on nails with cartoon stickers, listen to the recommendations of specialists.

• The most reliable method of applying a sticker is on an un-dried varnish. To do this, you can smooth the selected slider with a special brush, so that the design will not break and lie flat. Due to such a brush, no bubbles or waves form under the coating. The surface is dried along with the sticker, and therefore this manicure is worn for a long time because of its strong tenacity. One finish top will increase durability.
• The next option is to apply a slider to the top coating. It is very easy, convenient, fast. The sticker is attached to the finish base, then smoothed out with a bamboo stick and covered on top with another layer of top.It is very important to consider that the design for the decor does not extend beyond the side rollers.
• The last way to apply the sticker is to mount it on the finished manicure. This option is good because it is a real salvation in situations when you need to attend an event, and recording to the master is impossible. Sliders will allow you to update an already finished, but slightly launched manicure. Stickers Minions will, in fact, look good on any surface, but a more preferable option is plain or French. Stickers are attached in this case to an acid-free primer. Top coating will fix the result.
