Bright ideas for creating a manicure with sakura

Her hands can tell a lot about a girl. Both the business lady and the housewife should equally closely monitor the condition of the skin and nails. The kind of manicure the girl chooses speaks of her upbringing, internal state, mood, and hobbies.

Oriental culture in our country has recently gained particular popularity. Manicure with sakura will help to create a tender spring mood of the holiday, youth, the triumph of life. Its petals have a warm color scheme - from saturated pink to pale lilac or pale lilac. Such a manicure is very original and at the same time so simple that you can perform it yourself at home. Its advantage is that cherry blossoms look equally beautiful on both long and short nails. The technique of drawing can be both schematic, geometric, and quite realistic, voluminous.

Perhaps the most recognizable symbol of the Land of the Rising Sun is the blooming sakura. Blossoming cherry in Japan is a real holiday. Millions of tourists from all over the world come to this exotic country in spring to enjoy such a bewitching magical phenomenon of nature. The beginning of the flowering period is announced in advance in all local media. The thing is that the sakura flower does not live very long - you can only admire it for 5-7 days, after which it falls off. Wind and bad weather can break the already delicate and fragile petals.

It is known that the cherry flower has moisturizing properties, which is why it is used in the nail service not only as an element of the pattern on the nails, but also for the use of bathtubs. A skilled craftsman can create both a gentle business manicure with sakura and bright extravagant for theme parties in the Japanese style. The colors used to create such a manicure are most often chosen from the warm spectrum: delicate (pink, lilac, raspberry, pale purple) and saturated (red, raspberry, fuchsia, coral).

The motive of the picture may vary depending on the length of the nails: on short nails, single flowers with large petals will look beautiful, on long - sakura branches with many bright flowers. Japanese motifs can complement the hieroglyphs, but you should approach their writing with knowledge of the matter.

• First of all, you need to decide on the design option, pick up a few photos with the desired pattern, and also decide whether to design all the nails with a pattern or to emphasize only a few on the Japanese motif.
• Choose colors and type of coating - water-based varnish for everyday manicure or gel polish that will delight the eye much longer.
• Equip the table in advance and prepare all the necessary tools for the job. For drawing a picture, you may need thin brushes or needles, sharpened wooden sticks, dots.
• Next, you need to prepare your nails for work: moisturize and remove the cuticle, give the nail plate the desired shape, degrease it. The persistence of manicure and a neat look will depend on this.

• Then we apply a base coat to protect the nail from the harmful effects of the chemical elements contained in the varnish, and after it dries, the base (transparent, white, light pink or pearlescent background).
• The next step depends on the chosen design. The classic white jacket can be taken as a basis, and on top of it with a thin brush, apply black or dark brown wavy lines of twigs. The thinner the line, the more elegant the final result will look. After drying, the main drawing is applied - sakura flowers with soft pinkish petals. French can be changed a little, using instead of white pink or lilac colors.

It should be remembered that a Japanese-style manicure is created in stages. Each layer is applied on top of the previous one after complete drying, otherwise the picture will turn out blurry and fuzzy. Small details are drawn with a needle or a special tool - dots. Give the picture a volume will help the selection of contours with lines that differ from the main color by a couple of tones.

Sakura flowers on nails are very beautiful and fabulously tender, if they are drawn with a thin needle while working with liquid varnish. When the background layer is finally decorated and well fixed on the nails, you can draw curvy branches with a thin brush. Then, with a thick brush, four or five drops of petals are applied, located around a conditional point. Then with a thin needle we draw a line from the outer edge of the drop along its middle to the designated point - the center. In this way we make out each petal.

You can change the shape and bend of the flower lines with a toothpick or a flat wooden stick. After the layer dries, the edges of the petals are highlighted or shaded with thin lines of the same color, but a darker shade. You can create glare in white or light pink by dots using dots. For greater realism, sakura flowers are depicted in different sizes and shapes.
