All about acrylic paints on nails

Each girl dreams of beautiful manicured nails, a stunning manicure. In the modern world, there are many techniques for creating an interesting and sophisticated design.

Art acrylics appeared on the market not so long ago. But popularization and adaptation took place rapidly, because acrylic paints have much more advantages than other materials.

One such tube contains several components that give the material superior quality.

1. Water. Due to the fact that one of the components is water, when applying paint to a brush, it does not need to be additionally moistened.
2. Concentrated pigment. Pigment is what gives color. To make the color more saturated, there should be a lot of pigment in the paint. By its structure, the pigment can settle on the bottom of the jar, so the contents of the jar should always be mixed before use. For paints in tubes this can not be done.
3. High viscosity acrylic resin. This is the component due to which the paint hardens in a matter of minutes and does not need additional processing or drying.

By its texture it can be transparent, translucent, pasty and with a high level of pigment, which completely overlaps the previous layer.

Acrylic is universal and unpretentious, because you can work with it anywhere and with any texture. It fits perfectly on cardboard, paper, glass, fabric, wood, concrete and even nails.

Acrylic paints give interesting and saturated colors, they mix together fairly simply, while not turning into a kind of gray mess, they dry quickly and are economical.

Acrylic is applied both to a natural nail and to an artificial one, that's why everyone chooses this paint.

It is easy to work with it for those who have just discovered the limitless world of nail art, and for veterans of this business, because the number of colors, a variety of lines and accessibility do their job. Acrylic takes a leading position in the market among any paints.

It is worth noting that in terms of its thickness, paint is also divided into two types: thick and liquid. Thick paint is sold in small jars, it is semi-solid in consistency and does not include water.

Liquid paint is sold in tubes of different volumes, does not require any special preparation before work. All the necessary components are already in the paint itself, so the product is immediately ready for use. Due to its liquid state, it mixes easily with other colors, and due to its oil base, it does not turn into a gray porridge.

The advantages over thick paints are that the tubes are ready to use immediately. They can be bought individually. Acrylic is characterized by a more extensive palette of colors.

Among the fair sex, drawings on nails are in special demand, because it is original, unusual and always interesting. Acrylic paints are especially popular among a number of different techniques, because they are resistant to moisture, do not fade in the sun, do not peel off over time, and also do not darken under the influence of the environment.

One of the components that is part of acrylic paint is oil. Thanks to this, the brush will easily slide on the nail plate, allowing you to draw, create volumetric drawings, or simply use the technique with strokes.

A feature of this technique is that the paint must be applied to the nail without diluting it before applying. Layers should be dense, non-translucent. The final result should resemble dried gouache.

From ordinary acrylic paint you can get some kind of watercolor. To do this, before applying, the necessary amount of paint must be applied to the palette, add water and a binder based on acrylic (this is an acrylic dispersion, which is prepared on the basis of acrylic resin). The advantages in front of watercolor are that acrylic can not be washed off with water and can easily be applied to subsequent layers without thinking about the previous one, which can be broken. But there are times when the layer applied with acrylic paint dries too quickly - this is sometimes not always the case.

One of the most beautiful techniques for working with acrylic paints is the glazing technique. It consists in the fact that it is necessary to carefully and consistently apply translucent layers of paint after the previous layer has dried. The main objective of this method is the need to obtain complex colors by applying lighter and lighter tones to each other. This technique must be performed correctly, slowly, and be sure to wait for the previous layer to dry.

Another tricky way to paint with acrylic is to slide. This method consists of mixing paint with gel. The gel, first of all, will dilute the main color. After the drawing is applied, the gel dries and becomes transparent, and the pigment itself opens from the brighter side and becomes saturated.

Many ladies try painting on their own with acrylic paints at home and use step-by-step instructions to create this or that drawing. Usually the lightest and most straightforward drawings are taken for the sample, since their implementation does not take too much time. The result becomes visible after just a few strokes.

This is a completely simple drawing and quite simple to execute. Suitable for any nail shape and length.

At the first stage, you need to choose the color that you like most and matches the mood. It must be applied to all nails and wait for drying. Then you need to choose from the acrylic paint palette those colors that are most suitable for the selected varnish, and make dots in a chaotic order with dots.

For a deeper color of the dots, a thin brush with black paint should outline the outline of each dot.

This picture is one of the most favorite among fans of nail art. It is painted with different techniques, but the result is always excellent. “Butterfly” can be used as an addition to a jacket or moon manicure or create some kind of summer composition.

First of all, you need to decide on the design and stylein which the whole manicure will be performed. When this issue is closed, you need to apply the necessary varnish to the nails and wait for it to dry completely. A butterfly can be painted with any acrylic colors that are available.

In order to draw a butterfly, you do not need to have a diploma of art school graduation. Everything is simple - you need to apply paint to the selected nail with a brush, drawing four petals. They should not be located too close to each other and not too far away.

Between the petals it is necessary to draw an oblong oval - this will be the body of the butterfly. Petals that are wings should be arranged in arbitrary technique in circles or stripes. Then you need to draw a tendril and wait for it to dry completely, then apply a top coat on top.
