Drawings on extended nails: creation and design options

Boring monophonic manicure is almost never used. Everyone strives to stand out by drawing a small ornament or a whole picture on their nails. And on extended nails, in general, you can give free rein to fantasy, the main thing is that the master can reproduce the idea.

All patterns on extended nails can be divided into two groups.

• Smooth. The drawing is performed in the plane of the nail plate, it is tactile not felt.
• Voluminous. The design rises above the nail, it is voluminous, it does not overlap with a top coating.

They can also be divided into geometric ornaments, landscapes, portraits, still lifes, inscriptions and other images.

Drawing on extended nails can be applied in several ways.

In the market you can find a huge selection of different stickers for nail art. Here you can choose both miniature sketches and drawings that cover the entire nail. Even a beginner can handle the application of such a design.

In order to transfer the sticker to the nail, it is necessary to remove the sticky layer from the coating and place the sticker. Press the paper to the nail with a damp cloth; after the surface is wet, remove the top layer. Allow to dry. At the end, cover the pattern with a top layer so that it holds along the entire length of the manicure socks.

If you do not know how to draw, then stencils can help you. They come in various forms, but mainly allow you to perform geometric patterns.

In order to apply the ornament on extended nails using a stencil, it must be cut to the shape of your fingernail and glued to the coating without stickiness.

After that, take colored shellac and cover the nail plate.Now the stencil can be removed, and the drawing will remain on the nails. Top design finish.

Here you will need a small container of water at room temperature, a toothpick and several colored nail polishes.

• Nails need to be painted in the main tone with gel polish, dried in a lamp and remove the stickiness. Coat skin with Skin Defender special protective coating.
• We drip into the water one drop of varnish of those colors in which coloring will be made.
• With a wand or a needle, we create stains on the water in the form of flowers, butterflies, stars, or just a fantasy ornament.
• The prepared nail is lowered into the water parallel to the surface of the liquid. We keep in water, removing a layer of varnish around the water.
• We take out the finger, gently separate the resulting pattern on the nail from the film on the skin around, remove the Skin Defender.
• Let the coating dry for 10 minutes.
• We cover the top with the top, not forgetting to seal the free edge.

This is a transfer of a picture from engraving to a fingernail using a stamp.

Here you will also need Skin Defender, special discs, a stamp, a scraper, a stamping varnish or regular nail varnishes with good pigment.

• First, we also prepare the nail: cover it with the desired color, dry it, remove the sticky layer.
• We put a drop of varnish on the disk, quickly draw it with a scraper, filling in the desired pattern.
• We first put the stamp on the drawing, then transfer it to the nail with a rolling motion. It is necessary to carry out all manipulations quickly enough so that the varnish on the disk does not dry out.
• After that, remove the protective coating from the skin, give the drawing a good dry.
• We cover with a finish layer, sealing the free edge of the nail.

One of the most difficult options. The pattern is created on extended nails with the help of brushes.

There are two ways to apply: to draw during the building procedure itself, using colored gels or to draw on already prepared nails of the required length. But in fact, the drawing process itself is practically no different.
