Teddy Bears Manicure is one of the trendy designs for the new season. Each design is distinguished by the color of the varnish, the number and pattern of accents. How to make it right so that the design looks expressively and gently, what you need to know, we will consider in detail below.
What are the basics for?
You can create a design with all the familiar Teddy teddy bears using two tricks: classic manicure and a French. The first option (classic) is to pre-stain the nail over the entire area of the nail plate. Then it is decorated using various decoration options.
French create two options: painting the nail with pigment, and then creating a traditional smile at the top of the plate, or working in the negative space technique. In this case, the base remains unpainted, and the smile is created by the pigment itself. Today they use the classic version of the jacket.
However, in order to ennoble the natural nail, it is covered with a layer of camouflage.
Ways to create
There are many ways to “seat” Teddy bears on the nails. The traditional ones are hand-painted. To do this, use special acrylic paints or pens with pigmented dyes. The image created by paints turns out to be more voluminous than the picture depicted by means of pens with dyes. Pens are more convenient in that they make it easier to draw outlines.
Since bears for high-quality and stylish design should still be realistic, for those who are not good at drawing, it is better to use ready-made stickers for manicure accents.Today, such sliders are presented in a wide variety, due to which the design can look fashionable and professional. So that it is also durable, it is worth using water pictures that paste over the nails after removing the paper substrate.
If you do not want to work with stickers, you can stop at stamping. If you find a similar pattern with bears, then you can create a kawaii pattern for lovers of cuteness in a matter of seconds. Stamping is a stamping of an engraved pattern on a nail. If desired, and the presence of acrylic paints in the future, it will be possible to color the stamp with the bear in bright colors, thereby creating a stained glass effect.
Top coatings
The decor in the form of a picture with funny bears will be better visible on two types of pigmented gel varnishes - these are hybrid "nail" products with a matte and glossy texture. If you want a more fashionable manicure, you should opt for matte pigments. Today they can be velveteen, velor, velvet and satin. Such coatings look quite expensive and spectacular.
In order for the image to be clear, it is important to select coatings with dense pigmentation of the texture. In addition, it is important to choose light colors of gel polish for adhesive decor. This is due to the fact that the dark or bright background of the original pigment will distort the color of the sticker. Use under the stickers can be white, light pink, beige and milky colors of gel polish.
As for traditional drawings, it does not matter for them what color the manicure is, because the colors used to create the print are themselves pigmented enough to cover any base of the existing background.
However, it is worth considering the color scheme of the design, because the image itself should not merge into a single spot with the existing background of the accent nail plate.
Application technology
As an example, the design technique with stickers is used, because it is he who accurately transfers the desired design with Teddy bears. In addition, it is simpler than other technologies and does not need complex drawing.
Preparatory procedures
The basic technique of manicure remains the same. First, a preliminary medical manicure is performed. It includes the preparation of nails with their soaking to soften the skin. After the hands are removed from the water, they are wiped dry, the cuticle and also the skin growing in the sides (pterygium) are removed.
If necessary, make extensions or make out the edge, trying to ensure that all nails have the same length and shape. In order for the coating to last for a long time and not need correction, the gloss is removed from the nail plates. After this, the residual sawdust is removed using a dehydrator, a primer is applied to the nails and the decorative manicure is started.
Necessary tools and materials
It may be necessary for execution:
- base coverage;
- finish;
- water stickers;
- white or light gel polish;
- pigmented hybrid varnish;
- drying device (UV or LED lamp);
- brush for smoothing stickers.
Rhinestones and acrylic powder can also be useful. Powder allows you to add volume to the design and make it more interesting. Rhinestones can decorate accent nails, for example, of winter design, highlighting some detail of the picture. A great alternative to rhinestones are silver and gold varnishes. They are without unnecessary shine are able to decorate the accents of manicure. Silver spraying can also be used for winter designs as a way to demonstrate the snow-covered pattern.
Main process
After the nails are prepared for decorative manicure, proceed to applying the base. This should be done by slightly imprinting the material in the nail in order to enhance further adhesion with the pigment. The base layer, like all subsequent ones, should be thin. This is necessary so that the material does not spread beyond the nail plate.
The base is dried under a lamp for 1 minute. Time can be increased depending on which varnish materials and a drying device are used in the work.Then, pigment is applied to the nail, choosing the main color for the base, and for the accent nail - light or white.
The coating is spread on the plates with a thin layer and left for about half a minute, allowing the composition to spread on the nails evenly.
The pigmented layer is dried in a lamp, after which accent nails are decorated with stickers, and those on which there will be no patterns are covered with another layer of pigment. To finish the work with monophonic coatings, they are sealed with a layer of finishing material and again dried. After that, residual stickiness is removed.
As for working with stickers, it consists of several successive steps:
- the sticker is cut out according to the approximate shape of the nail with a small margin of length;
- remove the upper protective layer from the sticker;
- lower the picture into warm (cold) water and take it out, removing the substrate;
- apply a top to the nail and, without drying it, cover it with a sticker;
- the picture is distributed evenly using a brush;
- the design is dried for 1 minute (preferably 2), after which the extra image length is cut;
- the top is coated with a finish layer, the nail is dried and residual stickiness is removed from the finished coating;
- if desired, the picture is decorated with sparkles or rhinestones.
Ideas
Teddy Bears is a great theme for seasonal manicure. So:
- summer bears can play or sit on the grass;
- Autumn - complemented by falling leaves;
- winter - to be dressed in hats, to have mittens;
- spring - to be decorated with icicles (which, incidentally, is relevant for the French).
You can supplement seasonal manicure with volumetric drops, which today is considered one of the trends in the decoration of nails. To create the effect of snow, you can "powder" the design of the accent with acrylic powder or silver shine. If you want to add volume to the design, you can use a modeling gel. So you can make a volume hat for a bear, emphasize the cheeks or accentuate the texture of his blouse. There can be many options for various ideas - it all depends on the image itself, as well as the imagination of the master. For example, you can create on this principle peas, balloons, hearts or bows that accompany pictures with funny teddy bears.
