- Color varnish or acrylic paint. These options are needed in order to give the nail surface the desired shade and to embody the creative design. Acrylic paint has more saturated pigments. It is intended for art painting. If you want to make drawings with multicolored gel polish, then remember that its shades should be different from the main coating at least a couple of tones. Then the composition will line up consistently and beautifully.

Before you start making drawings, you should take care of the fingers and the surface of the nail plate. Nail art will be perfect when your hands are perfectly processed. This will also require certain quality tools.
First of all, it is a small container with warm water, where you will be soaking your hands, preparing them for processing. Then orange stick. With its help you can gently push the cuticle without damaging the nail plate. Tweezers remove excess skin. Using nail files, nails are given the desired shape. A buff is polished their surface.
It is not necessary to treat the preparatory stage of processing and to proceed more quickly to the design. After all, how well worked nails will depend on the resistance and accuracy of the manicure. Therefore, spend your precious time on this stage, so you do not regret about the efforts made.
The lightest ideas
Today you can find the most creative at the same time uncomplicated ideas of gel nail polish. Below is described step by step how to make this or that design, what elements and devices will be needed.
Abstraction
Simple drawings on the nails can be embodied with the help of this technique. Even a novice master can handle this.You do not need certain skills and a lot of time. Such a design may look cute, stylish, brilliant - it all depends on your preferences.
To embody a stylish design, you will need a base, gel polishes of a certain color, a needle or a toothpick, a cotton swab and a lamp for drying layers. If you want to create beauty on nails yourself, then you should start with more simple drawings. Gradually, it will be possible to draw complex elements.
It is necessary to cover the nail plate with the foundation and dry it in the lamp. Then apply the preferred gel polish shade. Not letting it dry out, you should put three or four points in the center. Their location depends on the length of the nail. Take a needle and gently connect these points in the same direction. You can make a line from the edge to the hole and vice versa.
The finished drawing is first dried thoroughly under the lamp, and then fixed with a top coating.
There is another option. Mentally draw a vertical line that will divide the nail plate in half. Each half should be painted over with a certain color of lacquer, and two fingers (for example, ring and middle) should be painted with different colors (for example, black and red). Red dots appear on the black half, and black dots on the red. With the help of a needle, horizontal lines are drawn from the midpoint of the point to the center of the nail plate. In this case, the line should be slightly understated. So you need to go through all the points.
Well, the easiest way is to put dots in a line and connect them with a toothpick using this technology. In order for such an abstract pattern to look stylish and neat, the nails must be of the same length.
Point technology
Before embodying it, it will be desirable to practice it several times, as well as to find the right tool. You will need a base, gel varnishes of various shades, dots, foil, top coating. You can choose a pin, a pencil, a pen instead of a dots. They will also help translate the plan.
First, the base is applied to the nails and fixed in the lamp. Then the surface of the nail is covered with the selected color. It is convenient to use white, blue, beige tones. Also, all well dried. We take a piece of foil and put on it a drop of red gel polish. We take the dots and with its help put red dots on the surface of the nail, repeating the shape of the hole.
After that, wipe the instrument with a napkin and repeat the procedure, but with a different shade of gel polish. And so on until the end of the nail plate. Points may be different in volume. After the design is completed, everything is dried in the lamp and fixed with a top coating.
Gradient
This option is also simple to perform. You will need colored gel polishes, base, top, a piece of foam rubber or sponge, foil, nail polish remover, cotton swabs, a toothpick. Initially apply the base and dry well in the lamp. Next, cover the nail plate with a gel polish of the selected shade. It will be the main in our design. Let it be a lighter scale.
Then the foil is taken. Put the gel polish in there darker or saturated than the base. Now dip the sponge in the lacquer and apply it on the surface of the nail, pressing, but not much. If you want to use not two, but several shades at once, then the next color should be overlapped.
Take a cotton swab, soak it in a special solution and remove excess paint on the cuticle and on the side rollers.
When the design is completely ready, it is fixed with a top coating and dried in the lamp.
You can make the flow from one tone to another and in a slightly different way - immediately apply the desired colors to a piece of foil. Using a toothpick, blend one shade into another on the border. After that, dip the sponge into the gel polish and transfer the color to the surface of the nail with quick and precise movements. The remains of varnish are also removed, the top is applied and the composition is dried in the lamp.
You can make a gradient at once on all fingers. To do this, a darker color to cover the thumb or little finger. The remaining nail plates will have a slightly lighter gamut than this primary color. To do this, we mix the white gel polish with the base shade. All this is done on foil. The colors are well mixed, and only then applied to the fingers. So even plain colors will look fashionable and attractive.
With tulle
An interesting and creative moment for inexperienced nail masters will be the use of a piece of ordinary tulle or lace. So you can create an attractive decor marigold, make them stylish and delicate. Stock up gel varnishes: base and finish. Also stock up on a beautiful lace with a pattern. Cut the same strips with similar images so as not to spoil the entire composition.
First, the base is applied, fixed in the lamp. Apply nail polish selected shade, which will be the basis. Now you can go to the design. Take an elongated piece of fabric, hold it with your fingers and press the lace to the surface of the nail. Apply a varnish on top of it and quickly remove the material so that the varnish does not have time to grab, otherwise the whole picture will be smeared. After the composition is dry, apply a fixative.
