Ways of drawing
Nail art with imitation of marble is presented in a different design and can be created in various ways, each of which differs not only in the level of complexity, but also in the appearance of the pattern. To date, marble compositions are applied using the following techniques.
- With the help of the film. This is the easiest design option that can be done at home even by an inexperienced master. To obtain a marble effect in this case, gel lacquer, ordinary lacquer and food film are required. The only thing is that if you choose gel varnish for work, then drying should be carried out in a UV lamp.
First, the film should be cut into strips and crumpled, then around petal plate and on the skin of the hands apply petroleum jelly or other means based on fat. Then the preparation of the nail is carried out: it is given the desired shape and length, the cuticle is cut off. Plate cover base and give time to dry. When covering the nail surface with a foundation, it is necessary to check that the lacquer fits tightly and evenly, the presence of translucences and “bare” areas is not allowed.
After this, a colored mixture is prepared to create a pattern. For this, a drop of multicolored varnish is placed on the foil and the crumpled film is pressed against the surface of the foil, and then transferred directly to the nail plate. The resulting composition is dried and fixed with a colorless topcoat.
- With the help of a sponge. This technique is not much different from the previous one, the only thing is that instead of a cellophane film a piece of sponge is used. It is dipped in a contrasting base and gently applied to the plate with light movements. In this case, the sponge can not be strongly pressed, otherwise refined marble pattern can turn into huge and blurry spots.
- With the help of oilcloth. To decorate the nails in this case, you will need a thick oilcloth and gel polish of different shades. The first is to prepare the nails and cover them with a base. Then several small droplets of colored varnish are applied on the base coat in a chaotic manner. Next to the nail plate tightly pressed the film, under which the lacquer begins to turn into blurry spots with uneven outlines. After that, the film material is removed and the skin is cleaned of lacquer, putting a finishing top on the pattern.
- Marble under water. Unlike previous methods of applying the composition, this one is characterized by a complex technology and requires a certain skill. As a rule, this procedure takes up to two hours, but in the end a beautiful design with smooth color and brilliance is created. Before you proceed to such a marble manicure, you need to prepare marigolds and a small container of water.The plate is covered with base color, dried and a varnish is dripped into a bowl with water, the color of which is preselected by design. Drops should be placed strictly in the center and form vague circles.
Each nail in turn is dipped into a “water” pattern, pulled out and, without wiping off varnish residues, repeat the same procedure with other fingers. Then the skin is cleaned, and the decor is fixed with a colorless varnish.
- With the help of gel polish. This manicure is best to entrust experienced masters, because at home it is very difficult to make. The design is carried out with special brushes and gel-based compositions, they slowly dry, therefore they allow to create any ornament and pattern without haste. Work begins with stripping the cuticle and degreasing the nail plate. In addition, the nails need to give a certain shape and length. Next, apply a thin layer of the base coat and dry the nail in the lamp.
The next step is to cover the plate with a basic tint; it is also dried in a UV lamp. A clinser is poured into a small vessel to clean the brush and a few drops of colored gel polish are applied to the foil. A thin brush is dipped into a drop and they start to work, forming fuzzy and fixed lines of various lengths on the surface of the nail. Externally, the pattern should resemble the texture of marble. To avoid the effect of blurring, the brush must be rinsed after each element in the cleanser. When the composition is completely dry, it is fixed top and dried in the lamp.
- With the help of ordinary varnish. This is a fairly simple and convenient technique of applying a picture, for the design of which a spoon is used. It has much in common with a water manicure. Only in this case it should be noted that the decorative layer of the coating will be thick, therefore it will take a long time to dry. Initially, they are engaged in the preparation and processing of nails, then they are covered with a base. After that, in a spoon you need to drop a few designer varnishes and carefully stir them with a toothpick. The nails are in turn dipped in a spoon, the picture dries out, the excess varnish is removed from the skin and everything is covered with a colorless coating.

In the first case, you will need to purchase an original coating, which includes small patches and lint that allow you to get the maximum effect of natural stone. The process of manicure design is the same as with the use of conventional gel coating, that is, with drying in the lamp. As for the stickers, they are suitable for girls who do not own the art of nail art. Printed film is simply applied to the nails, fixed and covered with a protective layer.
