Creative manicure with ice cream: design and technology

Summer is a small life. In this sunny bright season, I so want to “catch” the brightness of the blooming, luminous colors of nature. Right now, a bright, rich manicure with a catchy pattern will become most relevant. Why not decorate your fingers with colorful balls of ice cream? Such a manicure will not only give the image of playfulness, but also attract the attention of others. Beautifully executed designs with ice cream - this is a universal option for the summer, which will soon go out of fashion.

A swirl manicure-ice cream broke into fashion in the spring of 2015. During this period, they mainly drew one ice-cream cone on the ring finger, while the rest of the nails were covered with a plain bright varnish. This idea was not only not forgotten next summer, but also acquired several new options for execution. So, for example, there were designs with ice cream on a stick, melting ice cream and manicure-ice cream, in which the entire nail from the base to the tip is painted for your favorite summer dessert.

Today, this design remains one of the most popular options for summer manicure. In the summer, it became fashionable to combine manicure with ice cream with moonlight and classic French manicure. The combination of ice cream with images of other desserts: cupcakes, donuts, cocktails with straws is also very popular. For long nails, an option with many small ice cream cones has become popular, which creates the feeling of a printed print or wallpaper on the nails.

Recently, ice cream manicure has become popular among lovers of bright, acidic varnishes. Such a manicure is suitable only for especially brave and bright girls, but not for every image of them.

There are a lot of options for manicure with the image of ice cream, so it can sometimes be difficult to make a choice. When choosing a design, it is very important not to cross the line between bold and bright manicure and vulgar and tasteless. When choosing a manicure with an image of ice cream, it is necessary to take into account several important subtleties.

• The image of ice cream in the horn can either visually lengthen the nail, make it thinner and elongated, or expand it to give it the appearance of a “scapula”. To lengthen the nail, the figure needs to be arranged according to the growth of the nail: from its root to the edge. In such a situation, it is better to draw small graceful balls and a thin oblong horn. Large balls visually expand the nail and shorten it.

• In the performance of such a pattern, the use of rhinestones, sparkles and sequins is permissible, but it is worth minimizing their number so that the manicure does not look vulgar.
• Giving preference to the lunar design or jacket with ice cream, it is worth stopping by the quiet colors of the varnish - a bright jacket, also reinforced with a heavy image, will look tasteless.

• When combining several types of images in one manicure, for example, a duet of ice cream with a cake or ice cream with a donut, it is worth performing them in one color palette. In order for the difference in the patterns to be noticeable, it is advisable to give preference to a single-color coating of the nails with a drawing on one finger on each hand.

• The image of ice cream looks great on ombre-stained nails. This combination makes it more airy and light, but at the same time bright in summer.

• Ice cream made by modeling will also look relevant. Such a manicure will be the most voluminous and realistic, and therefore unusually catchy.

Summer bright manicure with ice cream is considered to be informal, one that is suitable for going on vacation, going to the beach, sailing on a yacht, visiting hot summer parties. It is difficult to disagree with this, but it is quite possible to challenge. It's all about the fine line between “elegant manicure with a touch of coquetry” and “bright manicure torn” - it all depends on the method of its execution, the number of bright accents and design. Properly selected manicure with ice cream can be a decoration of any image and fit into any situation.

• For an interview or meeting. If a girl takes a job or works in a responsible job, this is not a reason to drive herself into the image of a gray mouse. It is quite acceptable to make a laconic elegant jacket and decorate one nail on each hand with a not-so-bright ice cream pattern. It is important that the colors of this design are restrained. Here delicate pink or peach, pistachio, mint-colored balls of ice cream and the tips of nails are perfect. The ideal option is a combination of the color of an office shirt or blouse with the color of the nails.

• For going to the beach or pool. For relaxing on sunny beaches, you can create the most unimaginable designs. Here, bright manicure of sunny shades, decorated with drawings of ice cream, donuts, cakes and their combinations, will be appropriate. A manicure with volumetric modeling or an ice cream pattern covering the entire nail plate would be quite appropriate. In the conditions of the beach, a swimsuit, manicure and a hat become part of the girls' clothes, so it is so important to choose a beautiful design that emphasizes the originality of its owner.

• Summer evening party. Any design of marigolds will also be appropriate here, but in such a situation it is worth paying attention to the bright and shiny decoration of the marigolds. Rhinestones, stones, rubbing, acrylic powder - all this will reflect the light of night lights and flicker attractively in the dark. Variants using fluorescent nail polishes are also possible, but do not forget about the sense of proportion.

There are a huge number of ways to create a manicure with the image of ice cream. Some of them can easily be made at home independently, while others are almost impossible to apply to yourself without outside help.

The easiest way to apply a picture to your nails, which you can implement yourself - This is a manicure with ready-made slides, stickers or metal applique. To carry out such a design, it is only necessary to prepare a high-quality base, glue the slides on it and cover it with a fixative. In the market for manicure accessories you can find the most unimaginable sets of slides depicting desserts, you can also easily find voluminous stickers for manicure.

Acrylic powder or velvet powder with ice cream on the nails will look more playful and voluminous. To carry out such a design, it is also necessary to prepare a background according to the general rules for applying gel polish. Against the finished background, you need to draw a waffle cone for ice cream: with a thin stiff brush dipped in brown or beige varnish, a small triangle looms.

To give a specific “waffle” pattern, the horn needs to be drawn with “diamonds” over the entire surface of the future print. This must be made with varnish several shades lighter or darker than the previous varnish that was used to paint the horn. White and black blotches can achieve the most similar to the original texture. After creating the horn, you can start drawing balls of ice cream. To do this, moisten a wide brush in a solvent, remove excess liquid from the neck of a can of solvent, dip one corner of the brush’s pile into acrylic and shift the powder onto the nail in a circular motion. Thus, we get a convex shiny ball.

To create a juicy manicure, you can use a stamp. To do this, you will need a stencil with a carved ice-cream pattern, a special stamp for manicure and multi-colored varnishes. According to the principle of coloring, you need to paint the stencil with varnishes, remove the excess varnish with a special spatula, remove the pattern from the stencil to the stamp and transfer it to the nail. This method is great for creating a design with many identical ice creams.
