A manicure with a "knitted" design can be done at home. There are several ways to apply volumetric ornament.

If we consider the process of decorating nails in the style of “sweater” with ordinary varnish, then for a beginner, step-by-step instructions will be convenient. So, for starters, you need to process the nails: align and sharpen them, pay attention to the cuticles. Then apply the base base and after the layer has dried, apply the selected shade of varnish. The product is applied in several layers with the obligatory thorough drying of each layer. Next, with a thin brush on the finished background you need to apply an ornament.

In a design using ordinary varnish, the pattern is not as voluminous as with the gel method. However, if you get a hold of it, you can bring the knitted pattern closer to the original and with the help of varnish. It is necessary to create an ornament by applying in several layers, each of which must also dry well.

At the end of the process, the surface of the finished nails must be fixed with a special tool.

Gel polish will give the client the expected effect of bulk coarse knitting. To apply nails using a gel product, you also need to purchase or rent a special lamp and buy the product itself. The lamp provides quick and reliable drying of the gel.

At the first stage, you also need to prepare the surface of the nails and apply a base coat that provides gel strengthening and surface leveling. Then apply in two layers of gel polish. Each layer must be dried under a lamp for 2 minutes.

Now you can begin to draw weaving: with the help of a thin brush and gel, the desired ornament is also applied in several layers. Do not forget to dry each layer.

Gel polish with acrylic powder is applied in the same sequence as with gel manicure. Only at the end of the last layer before drying in the lamp is sprinkled with powder. This method of decorating nails will cause not only tenderness, but also delight from small fibers on the manicure, repeating the texture of the yarn for knitting. Acrylic powder also strengthens the manicure, you can sprinkle the entire surface of the nail or just a pattern. In both cases there will be a spectacular design. In addition, white powder or multi-colored can be used.

For women, there is no limit to imagination, they come up with new design options in the style of "knitted sweaters."
