Manicure with a feather: stylish design options and description of the nail design technique

A manicure with a feather attracts with its singularity and ease. That's just not everyone dares to repeat it on their nails. It seems that drawing it neatly and beautifully is very difficult. But knowing some tricks, any fashionista will be able to surprise everyone with an exquisite pattern on her fingers.

In addition to the pen itself, it is possible to provide interesting manicure design options. With proper combination of techniques and design, you will get the original design and implement the most daring ideas.

Rhinestones perfectly complement the manicure with a pen. And although in nature you will not meet birds with stones in the plumage, it looks very natural. After all, rhinestones can perfectly imitate water drops trapped on feathers and shining in the sun. Which size and color to use the stones depends on the overall style and size of the pen itself.

You can add a classic French manicure with a lightweight feather. It will look very feminine. In this case, the pen itself can be made in dark colors, so that it can be clearly seen on a light background. Do not repeat it on each nail. One feather on the arm will be enough to emphasize.

Peacock feather - a very bright accent. You can enhance it with emerald lacquer on the remaining nails. The peculiarity of such a manicure is that not any image will look harmoniously in a duet with him. Therefore, think in advance about the wardrobe that you can try on. It is better to do it under a certain (festive, thematic, etc.) bow.

One pen for several fingers looks very interesting. When you join your fingers, a single pattern will fold. Separately, only individual elements will be visible on the fingers, which also looks aesthetically pleasing. You can draw it yourself. The main thing is to draw the center line (rod) correctly so that it is located on the same level with the fingers connected together.

In addition to the image of the pen itself, you can add design with sliders depicting the bird itself or other thematic objects. Drawing such small elements with a brush will be difficult, so the use of stickers (or sliders) is the best option.

You can arrange the pen and bouillon. Small grains of sand will not stand out strongly against the general background. At the same time you will provide the volume and unique interesting design. They can be used at the pen itself or separately from it. For example, they can be laid out the corners of neighboring nails (the color is chosen to match the tone of the pen).

Feather manicure is an ideal option for those who want to diversify their everyday look., while not allowing too bright or catchy design. A white feather on a fairly bright background will be almost imperceptible, but such a highlight will only decorate and add sophistication to the image.

If you want to try luxurious design options on your own nails, then feathers will come to the rescue. This design is not as "jaded" as animal prints (leopard, tiger, etc.). In this case, you can use a peacock feather or just bright colorful designs imitating the color of exotic parrots.

If you know how to use acrylic, then easily create a three-dimensional image of the pen on your nail. It will require some skill to draw the thin details of the vane. Otherwise it will be visually heavy.

Ethnic manicure can be supplemented with Indian pen. Graphic drawings on other fingers will help emphasize the given theme. It should be understood that he would be absolutely inappropriate with a strict business suit. But with clothes in the styles of hippies, ethno or boho only emphasize the individuality and unusual way.

The matte finish gives a special aristocracy and restraint to the whole image. Is not an exception and manicure with a feather. Just complete the procedure with a matte finish, and you will see how the overall impression of the created design will change.

There are several ways to create such an interesting design on your own nails. Each of them has its pros and cons. After reviewing all, you can easily make your own choice, based on the available opportunities and preferences.

With it, you can create real masterpieces on the nail. The design will be truly copyright and unique. But not every girl can draw beautifully. This is the main disadvantage of this design, since for its realization you will have to rely only on your own strength and skills. In addition, you will need several shades of varnishes. Only in this case, the feather will look organic and natural.

How to draw a classic version of the pen, we will gradually analyze below. Here we will talk about the advantages that this version gives:

• the ability to choose a palette of colors at will;
• unique design that can be different on each finger;
• the ability to draw a single pen, moving from one finger to another.

The easiest and most affordable option for placing any pattern on the nail. In specialized stores you will find a large selection of various designs and solutions. They are at the same time inexpensive. Choose the one that you like, and transfer it to the nail. There is nothing complicated about the implementation technique. Cut the desired item, place it on the pre-painted nail. The last step will be applying a protective (top) coating.

Another fairly simple way to portray a beautiful feather on your own nails. According to its characteristics, it is closer to painting with a brush. Having put the main contour with the help of a special stencil and a stamp, you can add it with sparkles or other shades of your choice. In this case, no one will distinguish it from hand-drawn. And you can proudly say that you really painted it yourself.

With its simplicity and decoration, this method has a significant drawback. It is beneficial only for practicing craftsmen to buy a complete set for stamping, since its cost will quickly pay off. At home, it will be quite expensive. Especially if you use it only a few times in all time. It is better to purchase the appropriate stickers or contact the salon.

To get a manicure with a feather, you can simply buy or find the pen itself. It can be both artificial material and natural. For the design, only the upper part is used, since it is precisely it that is thin enough. At the same time, it is better to do such a manicure with gel polish, as it creates a more durable coating. After you try on exactly in which direction and how the feather will lie, the nail is covered with an additional layer of varnish or special glue. We put the pen, gently pressing it with a stick to the nail plate. All the excess is cut off with scissors, then a protective layer is applied.

Technician performing a drawing and its design very much.We will consider the classic version of creating a feather, which will look neat in any color scheme. Here we will draw it in several shades in order to achieve the most natural pattern. If you are doing it for the first time, then try not to skip a single step. In the future, you can adjust them and add your own elements.

• It all starts with the preparation of nails. They must be smooth and have the same length. I must say that feathers look best on long nails, as the drawing takes up enough space. Remove the cuticle. Choose the most familiar way for this. You can simply soften it with a remover and push it with an orange stick, or make a full-fledged manicure.

• Basecoat application. Many neglect this stage, and it is in vain. A professional master will never apply color lacquer directly on the nail plate. First, the base performs a protective function. It protects the nail from pigmentation (especially if bright colors are used). Secondly, due to this, the nail becomes smooth and the main color falls more smoothly, without flaws. Wait until it is completely dry. If you have gel polish, then dry in the lamp.

• There are several possible options. You can cover all the nails with one color, and on one draw a feather, or paint the nail with a pattern in a different color. It is necessary to ensure that all shades are harmoniously combined with each other. Cover the colored base nails in 2 layers, give a good dry.

• It is better to repeat the design of a feather chosen by us on a light background. We take a thin brush and beige varnish. We type paint on the brush and mark the contour of the future pen. It looks like a leaf of a tree. We draw the central gutter.
• We draw the pen itself with the same beige color. To do this, moving from the center line of the pen to the sides, we make jerky strokes. It's okay if they slightly go beyond the contour. But it is better to adhere to a given perimeter. As a result, the beige borders should be erased, and in their place appear the end of the individual elements of the pen.

• Now we need 2 darker shades: red (closer to brown) and brown. First, draw a lighter shade of strokes, and then dark. The movements are identical to those performed with beige lacquer. The brush can be taken a little thicker, so that the strokes are more noticeable.
• If you want to add shine, then take a glitter and walk it in some places on the pen.

• The pen nib is drawn with a thin brush with white varnish. The line should be thicker at the base and go into the barely visible thread to the end.
• After drying the pattern we cover it and all other nails with a top coat. This will extend the life of the entire manicure and protect the feather.

A big role is played by the quality of the tool you work with. No wonder professional attributes are much more expensive. Firstly, they have a longer service life, secondly, they provide high-quality nail treatment (they do not damage the nail plate, they do not traumatize or retract the skin, etc.). Therefore, if you perform a manicure yourself, do not save on materials.

Do not be afraid to experiment. Rhinestones, sequins and bouillons will help to create a unique design.This does not mean that you should put all your nails on them. It will be enough a small shiny accent to revive the manicure. Manicure with a feather looks very gently. It does not require a special style of clothing and special devices to perform. Nobody says that you need to do it all the time. But it is worth trying at least once.
