The usual basis is applied on nails, after that the sticker is applied and leveled on the surface, it is fixed with a special finishing agent.
Interesting ideas
The effect of haze on the nails can be obtained as a color, white, and translucent lacquer. It all depends on the personal preferences of the girl and the style of her image. You should not be afraid to experiment and translate into reality any creative imagination.
White clouds of smoke
To get an unusual transparent haze, you need thick gel varnishes in black and white, top and base. First, the nails must be covered with a special base in the form of gel varnish, then gently apply a two-layer black base, pre-drying each layer. Then you should clean the sticky layer with a cloth and start drawing white stripes. They are placed throughout the volume of the nail plate, and they will serve as a direction for the "smoke". At the same time, the strips are made thin on one side, and thicker on the other. At the end, the brush is dipped into an alcohol liquid and started to run along the lines with it - as a result, the white lacquer will “float”. Then you should wait until the decorative layer is completely dry, and at the end fix it with a finishing coat.
3D drawing
Many women of fashion prefer to have a “smoky” manicure not only in color, but also in bulk. If you use the usual gel polish for work, then it will not be possible to achieve scale, since this material has a low density. Therefore, for creativity, you need to stock up on a special base, dense in structure varnishes (colored and black), and a finishing top. Drawing the stains in this case is necessary not only with a thin and flat brush - you also need a fan-brush for work.
The nails are first covered with a base and then with two layers of black lacquer. With the help of white gel lacquer, small, wavy stripes are created, then the brush is moistened in a liquid and continue to form the outlines of the lines. Additionally, the picture should be sprinkled with acrylic powder: it is evenly distributed over the entire surface using a brush fan. The finished design is fixed with a fixer.
Colored smoke
For such a design, both acrylic multicolored powder and stained glass paints or gels, which are used for nail extension, are suitable. The procedure for “nail art” is quick and easy. Pre-prepared marigolds are coated with a base, then two layers of black lacquer are applied and dried in a UV lamp. Using such a brush, lines are drawn and the nails are re-dried in the lamp. Then mix the top or gel with stained paint and begin to gently throw the resulting haze.
For this performance, it is important to use several colors at the same time, making smooth transitions. As a result, marigolds will acquire a special mystery and gloss. It is not recommended to supplement the design with other elements of the decor, otherwise a ridiculous composition will result, as a result of which the relevance of the haze effect will be lost.
