Now in fashion not only an elegant design of nails, but also carefree, fun decorative elements. Manicure with sweets is one of such trending topics. Thanks to him, you can see the sweet tooth from afar, and the owner of such a manicure gets the opportunity to plunge into childhood dreams and constantly remember the joys of life, looking at her nails.
Drawing, stickers or modeling?
The choice of sweets is huge today - you can choose for every taste and color, or even come up with an image of something original. But regardless of the chosen design, there is a dilemma - how to implement it? There are three main options:
- draw by yourself;
- buy special stickers;
- sculpt from acrylic or polymer clay.
In the first case, you will need a thin brush. You can take a piece of paper and practice it. At the same time, it will be clear how suitable the invented drawing will come out.
Stickers can be bought in specialized stores for craftsmen or ordered in the online store. Sometimes such stickers are found in ordinary departments of office supplies. If you selected them, then be sure to stock up on transparent varnish, which you will need to cover the stickers with. This will help them to last much longer on the nails.
Modeling among the known methods is the most difficult option. Think in advance what and how you want to portray, and then blind them, trying on your fingernail. Most likely, you will need a UV lamp or an oven in order to harden the resulting product. After that, you need to stick on the base layer of manicure what happened.
This application has the longest life.Even when the manicure deteriorates, they can be carefully peeled off and then used a second time or left for another suitable case.
However, stucco decorations are easy to lose if they have parts that you can catch on - they will simply peel off and get lost.
Sweets, M & M's, Candies
Candy manicure is fashionable and fun. The famous M & M's are invariably popular due to their perky, bright colors and ease of execution in the form of manicure. The most elementary option assumes that you simply paint your nails with glossy varnish, and then draw the letter “m” in white. But some people prefer more complex options - for example, to draw advertising heroes in full vestment or a mixture of sweets on one nail plate.
You can draw lollipops or traditional sweets, you can sculpt them in the form of stickers. Striped sweets will be especially relevant for the New Year. Caramels can also be supplemented with painted Christmas balls, Christmas trees or snowflakes. Also interesting is the variant with colored candy "cereal", which is often used in baking (for example, Easter cakes) - this sprinkling of nails looks very original. You can also play on the nails the now popular apples in caramel.
Cake and ice cream
When portraying traditional cakes or ice cream, do not forget that they can be complemented in a non-standard way. Take loose large sparkles, tiny beads or small crumbs from pebbles and polymer clay. With their help, you can easily make a powder - chocolate, pink-berry or some kind of fantasy. Another great option is pearl balls, which will look nice among white “cream” and pastel colors.
In addition, you can interestingly beat the topic of ice cream. For example, make a manicure with drips of melted cream. This can even be done in different colors, because ice cream is now very different, sometimes even black or green.
Another simple variant of ice cream is to draw a waffle cone on the nail plate, and along the edge with white varnish to depict creamy ice cream. Long and narrowed nails can also be painted like a waffle cone, it will look very unusual. And it is not difficult to make a twisted creamy top of ice cream - just take a gel polish and apply a thick layer of stripes, placing them diagonally parallel to each other.
Donuts and Muffins
Based on the idea with ice cream, you can portray similar with other sweets. Small beads, pearls, rhinestones - all this will do just fine. With their help, you can decorate donuts and muffins that you draw or dazzle.
However, do not get too carried away - moderation is in fashion. So do not overdo it with shiny accessories in the process of creating an image.
Fruit and chocolate
Who does not like chocolate bars, sweets or fruits in chocolate. If you have already tried a manicure with slices of polymer clay, then you are familiar with the most popular of them - in the form of oranges, kiwi, strawberries and other vegetable and fruit crops. It will be original if you use them, not just sticking it on your nails. Finish on top with brown varnish imitation of spilled chocolate or chocolate shell. For this, glossy and matte varnishes, respectively, are well suited.
As with a waffle cone, chocolate manicure can be designed as a painted or stucco bar of chocolate. A glued silver or gold foil will perfectly depict a chocolate wrapper.
You can go the other way, choosing an insanely beautiful and elegant version of manicure. For it, you will need chocolate lacquer, light lacquer and a thin stick or needle. Gel polish is ideal for this, because it has a semi-liquid consistency and freezes for a very long time, so you can take your time with drawing. The essence of the method is to apply strips and dots in different colors, and then mix them with a needle.Thus, you get beautiful stains that resemble melted chocolate.
Strawberries with cream
Variations with strawberries and cream is a well-known theme that has already become a classic. White and red stains can be depicted, as described above, with gel polish. Or you can draw a strawberry and white cream around.
You can also use polymer clay slices - they are easy to find in the form of strawberries in stores. And to dilute nails with slices with separate nails with monophonic varnish. In any case, the combination of white cream and red strawberries will be very effective.
Marmalade and Marshmallows
In order to depict marshmallows on the nails, take a white or pale pink varnish. And it must be necessarily matte! You can draw individual pieces of this delicacy with this varnish, having previously applied the base with brown varnish on the nails. Brown - because in color it will resemble coffee or cocoa, to which it is now very popular to add marshmallows.
To make a “marmalade” manicure, take a translucent varnish of red, green or yellow color, apply it on your nails. And before the varnish dries, sprinkle it with a transparent artificial crumb that looks like sugar. Get a traditional marmalade with sugar sprinkles.
You can also make the nails two-tone, thereby repeating the middle of the marmalade worms. And marmalade bears will be well recognized. They can also be simply painted - best with translucent varnishes. Or you can make volumetric bears from the gel that are as similar as possible to the original. A special gel from which they are easy to make is sold in specialized stores. You can buy ready-made rubber copies of marmalade bears and stick them on your nails.
