Ruffian manicure: features, technique and original ideas

If you are tired of the ordinary nail coating with a monochromatic lacquer, experiment with the new trends of nail art. For example, try creating Ruffian manicure on your nails and find out what it is.

Manicure Ruffian - a new fashionable trend in the world of nail art. It is offered by manicure masters, if a girl wants to experiment and stand out from the crowd. The opposite of classic French manicure is very easy to use and any is available.

In the design of Ruffian, a smile is drawn along the cuticle, mirroring the smile of the free edge of the nail, so sometimes such a manicure is called an inverted service jacket.

For the first time, Ruffian's nail design was used on CND's Ruffian fashion show. From here and got his name. Manicure Ruffian has a fine ability to adapt to age and lifestyle. Depending on the color decision, the manicure looks strict, delicate, bright and unusual.

The main principle is that the smile flowing around the cuticle should be contrast with superior color and be perfectly even. The shape of the line depends entirely on the shape of the nails.

A variety of options for performing manicure Ruffian on the nails is huge.

• Classical. A smile along the cuticle creates a thin contrast line in relation to the main background.
• Multilayer. The number of strips, different in width, can be from two or more. Usually each line has its own color.
• Gradient in frame. In such a manicure, a large number of arcs are drawn, which are gradually lightened from the cuticle to the free edge.
• Contrast. The most contrasting color combinations are used. For example, black and white, purple and yellow, red and green and others.

• Rainbow hole. The arc is painted in different colors that flow seamlessly into one another. This method requires high skill.
• Graffiti frame. A very thin contrast arc is drawn. Beautifully looks on nails of great length.
• Unpainted space. The line along the cuticle is not painted, but is covered with a base layer. A varnish colored coating is applied to the rest of the nail. This effect is stylish and unobtrusive.

To perform a design with a different texture, you can use foil, rubbing, glitter, glitter, rhinestones and bouillons. All these materials will create the effect of brilliance, sparkling and mirror overflow. Using flock, acrylic powder or velvet sand, you can create a velvet effect.

To create the perfect Ruffian, you need to follow some rules.

• Nail polishes for manicure should be the same firm. The fact is that the varnishes of the same collection are the same in density and have the same drying time.
• Use special stencils to draw the arc.
• Create a manicure with different color combinations and textures.
• Combine glossy and matte texture.

• The shape of the nails should be the same.
• Before each application of the next layer, check that the previous one dries well.
• Draw an arc to the shape of the nail. An oval smile on square nails looks ridiculous.
• The cuticle area should be contrasted.

Draw a mirror arc on the nails is very simple. There are two ways to perform such a manicure.

1. Manual. You can paint the hole with a thin brush.The process of drawing is very simple: scoop a small amount of varnish and carefully draw a line along the entire length of the cuticle. At the end and beginning of the arc, finish the small “antennae”. You can draw a smile before or after applying the main varnish.
2. Stencil. Special nail stickers and stencils make the process very easy. First, apply the base color. After the main varnish dries, the stencil is glued in the middle of the nail, and the remaining well is painted over with a contrasting varnish.
