Current trends in nail art include a departure from a boring plain manicure. Now drawing on the nails is a whole work of art, and modern techniques allow you to create landscapes and even plots on the nails. One of the popular varieties of design is a manicure with birds.
Features
The advantages of manicure with birds is a unique image, uniqueness, originality. You can choose a picture for any mood and for any occasion. It is very easy to choose the right color, because the birds in nature are very diverse, and in the manicure the master has the right to use even more vivid magical images. To create a bird's design, a variety of techniques are allowed, an experienced master can safely experiment with the design of nails.
As for the disadvantages of manicure, first of all, their fragility refers to them. Often, masters use decorative elements to create the image, and if the client delays with a subsequent visit for correction, then, most likely, she will lose all the details. Of course, this does not apply to hand-made designs. Another drawback of such a manicure is the difficulty in applying the design to itself.
Design options
Consider different examples of design and fashion trends of manicure with birds.
Nautical
As a rule, this option is performed in blue and white colors. For example, you can cover all nails with the color of a sea wave, and on one of your fingers draw a white sail and white “ticks” of seagulls flying from above. You can distribute this pattern on different nails. A golden starfish on one of the nails will add originality to this design. With such a manicure, you can safely go on a sea cruise.
Another option for relaxation is a palm tree. It is better to use two nails for drawing. Against a pale blue background, you need to draw a dark palm tree, and above the crown - dark silhouettes of birds. If the width of the nail plate allows, then the island on which the tree stands, and even the coconuts growing on it, will look beautiful.
Winter
Bullfinch is a pretty popular design in the winter. The red-breasted winter guest looks very beautiful on a blue background symbolizing snow. Romance and magic will add snowflakes to this design. The bird sitting on a branch of a mountain ash with bright ripe berries looks even more spectacular. A bullfinch gently and feminine flames on a white jacket. This feathered friend is beautiful in manicure made in stained glass technique. Clusters of mountain ash can be made using the molding technique - this will give the design even more expressiveness.
Delicate
For more modest ladies who usually prefer a classic jacket in manicure, several design options are also offered. For example, the dark silhouettes of night birds in combination with a black jacket look very mysterious. It will be a modest, unusual design, but it will immediately be clear to those around that the bearer of such a manicure is a woman with a very refined taste. If you dilute the monophonic coating with a couple of pigeons pressed against each other, then this also will not give the manicure vulgarity and expressiveness, but only emphasize the romantic mood in the girl’s soul.
Happy
Birds may not necessarily symbolize the gentle and free nature of a woman. Now the trend is funny funny owls with expressive eyes. This manicure is also good because it is quite easy to draw, and even a novice master will be able to cope with the image of a large bug-eyed owlet. Birds can be made in any color, but it is better to make them contrast with the background. It is recommended to apply one or two nails for drawing a picture. Another fun option is the Angry Birds. In this case, you can use all five nails. More often the background is chosen in blue and blue tones; multicolored muzzles of birds look beautiful on a white or natural surface.
Romantic
The bird is a symbol of freedom and love. Representing a bird in manicure, a woman shows her attitude to life and emphasizes her independence. At the same time, the bird is a very gentle and romantic image. Hummingbirds look beautiful on nails: in summer it can be a bright bird on a green background, at other times black silhouettes of birds on a bright or multi-colored coating will look very aesthetically pleasing. Flamingos, swallows, swans, pigeons - the wizard’s imagination in giving a romantic image can be unlimited! At the same time, it is recommended to use more pastel colors, not to give up black and white.
Fabulous
An integral part of most fairy tales is the firebird. There may be many options for its image. As a basis, you can take the color of the peacock feather. A lot of sparkles are recommended. The golden magic bird made using the molding technique looks very beautiful. Her tail can be decorated with rhinestones. Colors when creating a picture, you can use absolutely any. The brighter the better. But it is recommended to leave the background transparent, white or cover with pastel shades. The golden shining bird on a dark or black background looks very impressive.
Pen
Another version of the image of a fabulous firebird will be a drawing of its separate feather. This is a universal design that looks equally beautiful on any background. You can depict a separate drawing of a magic pen (the effect of "macro photography"), you can draw a feather completely up to decorating its fibers. Feathers drawn on all nails will not look clumsy at all.
An interesting design option is the image of the bird's head on the little finger and its body and feathers located in the correct projection on the remaining nails. So the whole picture will turn out. By the way, for supporters of a calmer and more delicate manicure, the image of feathers of nude shades is allowed. The biscuit nails look very sophisticated: if one of them is covered with the “coffee with milk” color and the neat feather is drawn, it will look very elegant and intelligent.
How to draw feathers?
If the master knows how to draw beautifully, then he will not have this question. However, a novice specialist can easily and quickly learn this simple art. If the drawing skills are not yet honed, then you can use standard stickers. A large number of them are offered, mainly peacock feathers, which should be used as a design with the image of a firebird. Another option is the use of a special artificial feather. They are not so often found in specialized stores, but miniature feathers of any color will be brought to order. To decorate the magic feathers, you can also use different techniques - foil, rhinestones, sparkles, pebbles.
A bold and effective version of manicure: apply artificial feathers on two nails, cover them with topcoat, and apply shiny stones on top. Brown feathers on a beige background decorated with emerald rhinestones in a golden frame look very beautiful and unusual.
To use an artificial pen in manicure, you can use the following step-by-step rules:
- remove the previous manicure, polish the nail plate, remove the cuticle and trim the edges using a nail file;
- apply the base and close the edges well;
- we cover the base with gel polish, without waiting for drying, gently pick up the pen with tweezers and apply it to the nail in the right direction;
- we cut off the extra elements of the pen, dry our nails and cover with a finish.
If the master decided to try to draw a pen on his own, then when drawing he needs to follow the recommendations of specialists.
- Use a thin brush. Mark the pen outline with the desired color on the nail plate, and draw an elongated sheet.
- Draw jerky strokes inside this diagram, they will imitate the drawing of a fairy pen.
- With a thinner brush, draw a few more strokes of a different color. We do this several times using contrasting tones. If necessary, add sparkles, this can be done in a chaotic manner.
- Next, draw a rod with white or black varnish. We draw in the center of the “sheet” a line from the base to the tip. Do not worry if the line breaks, this will only add to the drawing of naturalness. Perform the same color of the barbs or side lines. The pen image is ready!
A manicure with birds is an addition to the most unusual female image. A woman with any character can choose for herself the most suitable design with the image of birds.
