Communication on the Internet has firmly entered our lives, where the facial expressions of a person are not visible. To emotionally colorize the correspondence, programmers came up with special faces - emoticons. They became so popular that they began to be portrayed wherever possible, including in nail art.
For what case is it suitable?
Of course, emoticons on the nails are unlikely to suit a lady from the office or an elderly lady, but for young girls and teenagers such patterns are just right.
Do not use such a manicure during a session or practice where you plan to continue to work. Still, such jewelry may seem to some people not funny and funny, but simply frivolous.
The best reason to use nail smiles is:
- a trip to the sea;
- club party;
- friends' birthdays;
- going to the cinema or circus;
- other recreational activities.
Do not combine such a manicure with formal clothes and classic costumes. It will look strange and inappropriate. A tracksuit or casual outfit is the best option for pairing with nail emoticons.
Interesting ideas
On the nails, you can perform not only a banal image of a smile, but also various other designs. Despite the apparent simplicity, there are a lot of manicure options with emoticons for every taste and color.
- Classic yellow faces. All social networks have almost the same set of emoticons, based on a yellow circle and depicted emotion. This option is very convenient, because you can express on the nails what you feel directly at the moment.
- Faces of cartoon characters. It is now popular to portray funny cartoon faces.The most famous are the minions, SpongeBob, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Minnie and Mickey Mouse. In principle, you can choose any favorite animated film, and portray its heroes on the nail plate.
- Images of animals: bears, cats, dogs, pandas. Such pictures are very popular with young girls, and look pretty cute and relaxed. You can depict them more realistic or, conversely, stylized.
- Horror stories. Ghosts, smiling pumpkins, faces of Frankenstein and other characters in stories and horror films are often painted on fingernails at a gothic Halloween party or Halloween party.
Such a pattern looks very original, and it is better to perform it exclusively for a specific case.
- New Year's faces. Snowmen, Santas, squirrels - all this can be depicted on the nails. The large faces of these fairy-tale characters will cheer you up on the eve of the holiday.
How to issue?
When a certain idea appears in your head, this is good, but not everyone can immediately imagine the fulfillment of this brilliant idea. Here are some ways to beautifully design emoticons in a manicure:
- a different image on each nail: a separate character or a certain emotion;
- the same emoticons on all nails;
- only one or two emoticons on the nails, and the rest are painted either with a different pattern, or simply plain.
It is not difficult to choose an option: it is worth following your own taste preferences, as well as for what reason a manicure is done.
Drawing tips
Emoticon manicures can be done in several ways.
- With a brush and varnish. It doesn’t matter if it is regular varnish or gel. The main thing is to do the work carefully yourself or trust the master.
