Ideas and design options openwork manicure

Until recently, an openwork manicure was considered only as a wedding decor. Today, stylists and masters of nail design have learned to make it interesting. This design can be described as gentle and stylish. There are several ways how you can make such a manicure at home by yourself.

It may seem that the openwork technique is scarce on diversity, but it is not. In fact, before the girl appears a wide range of possible options. A thin mesh can decorate only a few nails, cross the nail diagonally, frame a French jacket, and so on.

Sometimes in the work of this fabric. Working with her is not so difficult, so it is suitable for self-manicure. But first, you need to put your hands in order:

• align the form;
• if necessary, shorten the nails;
• remove cuticle and burrs;
• polish the nail plate.

For work, you can buy a special fabric, and you can use a simple curtain (tulle). It is better if the material is thin, because it is better placed on the nail. It is necessary to attach the selected fabric to see if its pattern will look on the nail.

In addition to it, you will need a base varnish, which should be chosen based on the color of the fabric. You also need a colorless gel polish or fixer, as well as small scissors. The most difficult thing is to cut the pieces to the size of the nail, so you can use a stencil.

When done, apply the base coat and wait for it to dry completely. Lace is laid on top and leveled with a toothpick. From above impose colorless varnish, preferably in two layers, but each must dry separately. The base may be transparent, not necessarily color.

If it is rather difficult to work with a cloth, then stickers will help you. They are easy to use, sold in every specialty store. The principle of their use is the same as that of lace fabric. First, a piece is cut in the shape of a nail, a protective layer is removed, the sticker is leveled to fit, a fixer is applied on top.

The so-called stemping technique is a little more complicated when special stamps are used to transfer a pattern to the nails. From the outside it seems that the painting was applied by a specialist, but nothing like this will have to be done, and that's the beauty of it. From the girl is required only to uniformly apply the image.

Working with such elements is as follows:

• applied base coat, which can be anything;
• another varnish is covered with a stencil;
• using a special scraper, excess varnish is removed;
• on a plate of metal rolled stamp, with the result that the image remains on it;
• drawing is applied to the nail;
• everything is covered with a final coat of fixer.

The most difficult method to apply lace to the nail is using a brush. From the girl you will need at least some skills to work with the tool, on the other hand, such work is a great opportunity to show your own talent. Use for drawing better acrylic or gel paint.

In recent years, lace, applied to the tip of the nail in the form of a special jacket, has been particularly popular. You can experiment with the type of pattern, color palette. This design is universal for any occasion.

The line may have the usual semicircular shape.In this case, the grid is drawn with a brush in order not to disturb the border.When using fabric strips, it is desirable to fasten diagonally, although it is possible to first make a traditional french and only then fill it gently with pieces of fabric.

The snow pattern and the white line of a smile are not so popular, and the best gentle combination on pink and beige is an openwork of white color that does not immediately catch the eye.

If you want expressiveness and contrast, then you should use a design with a black openwork, which looks amazing on the technique of a gradient or a moon manicure.

Only from the outside it may seem that making such an openwork manicure yourself at home is difficult. In fact, there are several secrets that will surprise others:
