Manicure with butterflies: features and design ideas

Choosing a fashionable motif for nail design, along with colors and geometric patterns, nail art masters often prefer the subject of insects. Among the variety of design ideas, manicure with butterflies is especially popular. It would seem that today one can hardly be surprised by this, however, given the fashionable mood, it is still possible to do something special that is different from last season. How to achieve this, that you need to consider, read on.

Fashion tends to emphasize the belonging of nail design to a certain season of the year. The theme with butterflies determines the seasonality of manicure, and therefore it is impossible to call it universal. Despite the fact that such a design is associated with tenderness and carelessness and can significantly diversify the design, it does not fit certain female images and may not fit into everyday bow. In addition, this option to decorate accent nails is incompatible with a strict dress code.

With the new season, women have the opportunity to independently choose the form. At fashion shows, you could see completely different manicure models. Often they were decorated with short nails. Along with oval and straight, one could see almond-shaped nails. However, giving preference to one form or another, you need to understand that not every length and shape as a whole will look good on any drawing.

If we talk about hand painting, then it is better for her that the area of ​​the nail plate was larger. This will facilitate the work of the master, and in addition, will allow to draw small streaks and recreate the texture of pollen. At the same time, a sharp edge and bent nails will distort the design, and therefore it is worth adhering to the golden mean or moderation of length. As for the edges of the nails, if you wish, you can draw butterflies on both oval and round, and straight nails.

The choice of colors in each design will be their own. As a rule, tones are selected based on the available nail products and decor. At the same time, the masters try to find harmonious combinations of shades so that the design fits well with the summer female image. Sometimes take into account clothing, sometimes based on the color of the available accessories.

To simplify the task of selecting true and harmonious contrasts, you can use the advice of masters in the field of nail art.

They carry out their designs using combinations:

• turquoise, white and gold;
• pink, black and gold;
• gold, powdery and dark blue;
• lilac, blue and black;
• peach, white and black;
• blue, white and black;
• blue, cream and blue;
• pink, light mint and black;
• coral and white;
• black with turquoise and peach;
• black and flesh;
• orange, yellow and black;
• purple, white and black.

In addition, the design options with butterflies, made in pink-gray, white-green, powder-black contrasts, look beautiful. Choosing one or another color, it is necessary to take into account the influence of contrasts on each other. For example, light tones soften dark ones. To design was light, they must prevail. In such a case, there should be a bit of dark paint, because it makes a light tone brighter for a small amount, and for a large quantity it erases it, becoming the dominant.

Very popular and rich colors. You can combine:

• fuchsia and blue;
• bright blue with silver;
• red with nude and black;
• blue and lemon;
• raspberry and white;
• marsal and pink;
• cornflower and yellow;
• fiery orange with yellow and black;
• rich mint with white;
• bright greens with orange and lemon;
• yellow and black.

Despite the successful design idea, not every manicure with butterflies looks beautiful and expressive. And the thing often lies not in the lack of imagination, but in the wrong approach to design as a whole. Skilled masters in the field of nail art note the need to take into account some of the nuances. The knowledge of the basic mistakes will allow to avoid them, and this, in turn, will allow to create a unique and best design in all respects.

We note briefly the main mistakes that spoil the manicure with butterflies.

These include:

• inept or careless drawing of a picture;
• incorrect location of the butterfly on the accent nail;
• sketching of all but one nails with various butterflies;
• cloning designs selected for design;
• prints of different styles and techniques;
• several double pictures of different colors, creating the illusion of a “happy manicure”;
• complication of manicure by layers of different patterns and stucco;
• a combination of butterflies with animal prints;
• prints competing with the main idea of ​​design;
• fuzzy drawings, lost on the main background of accent nails.

For those who are not sure of their artistic abilities, it is better to resort to alternative options for decorating accent nails with butterflies. For practice, you need to train, draw on special blanks. This will greatly help for further work and teach you to choose the right place for the picture. In addition, you can work out the confidence lines, the nuances of a set of the right amount of paint on the right brush. Training will allow you to better see whether you need a sparkling decor on a butterfly in a particular manicure.

Today, plenty of possibilities have been invented for creating beautiful nail designs with butterflies. At the same time, the basic techniques allow for a sea of ​​variations, which make it possible not to limit the design, even in the absence of the necessary material.

Art painting on nails is a great way to create beautiful butterflies. At the same time they can be placed on the nail plates in different ways. A butterfly can replace a Frenchman's smile, a moon manicure hole, it can beat the gradient, as well as techniques such as "veil" and "broken glass." Each option will reveal new features of a particular technique, which significantly enriches manicure techniques.

Butterflies draw special paints on a gel basis. In addition, for drawing use nail brushes of different lengths and thicknesses, as well as dots and wooden toothpicks. For paints, they acquire a palette or create a temporary foil. The texture of the picture can be different, which will be determined by the gel material itself, as well as by the top coating (matte or glossy).

For bulk designs use modeling gels.Such drawing techniques are certainly spectacular, but 3D manicure cannot be called convenient in everyday life. It clings to anything, and therefore is not as durable as flat coatings based on hybrid varnish products. Techniques to create a picture can also be very diverse. One of the popular options today can rightly be called drawing on the wet.

From the traditional method of drawing such a butterfly will differ in visual effect. The technique is to paint flowed, thereby forming a smooth transition of semitones. Such a butterfly looks super beautiful, but it is more difficult to draw it than on a pigmented base dried up in a lamp.

If you do not have drawing skills, you can resort to the use of manicure stencils. These are disposable sticky stickers with a variety of voids. Their size is enough for one nail. Such drawings, as a rule, are small, but sometimes tiny fluttering butterflies look better than surround decor. Especially they will be appropriate for short length nails, because due to their size they will bring balance into the design.

Stencils are easy to work with, but this may require some practice.

• Silicone material is applied around the nail plate to protect the skin of the finger from nail polish.
• On the painted and dried nail stick stencil sticker, trying not to press, but firmly and without defects to fix it.
• Nail over the stencil cover selected gel varnish, then remove the stencil. The irregularities are corrected using a pattern pigment, after which the design is dried in a lamp.
• Finish manicure, sealing the design with a top and removing, if necessary, residual stickiness.

Steamping is called alternative drawing, which is essentially stamping. The required set for design includes ready-made templates with an engraved pattern, a scraper for removing excess varnish, as well as a special roller, which removes the pattern from engraving and is transferred to the accent nail. The whole set is more expensive than stickers and stencils, but it is reusable, and therefore the price is quite justified.

To make the design flawless, many immediately replace the metal scrapers with other devices, since they leave scratches on the engraving. Stamping is notable because after transferring from a template to a roller, it can be colored using different tones of hybrid varnish and a thin brush. You need to work with him carefully, so you can not do without silicone glue, which protects the skin around the nail plate.

The disadvantage of this technique is the limited pattern: it can not diversify anything except color. At best, it can be tiny rhinestones. However, if the process is approached creatively, even stamping can add a high status note to the design. You can also take into account the nuance that sometimes an unpainted drawing looks better than a colorful stained glass version.

The line of such products for nail art includes many varieties of decor. Among them there are even volumetric pictures, although in everyday life, as practice shows, they do not last long.As for the best options for today, then they can be attributed to decals that need to be moisturized for fixation. They are sold, as a rule, by a set of 10 nails, while the master has the possibility of selecting a more accurate size for two or three accent nails. Those that remain can be used for another client.

In operation, these elements are simple: they are first removed from the protective top film, and then lowered into the water for a couple of seconds. It is not necessary to keep the picture in it for a long time, since the paper backing separates well and after staying in water for two seconds.

After that, the accent is covered with a top and a sticker is placed on top of it. It is smoothed with a brush, and then dried in a lamp. Such butterflies are distinguished by the accuracy and expressiveness of the lines; they can be realistic or made in watercolor technique, which allows you to create the illusion of hand drawing. Moreover, if we can make a mistake when we draw, then in the design with a sticker, drawing defects are excluded. Often these butterflies are decorated with rhinestones or colored stones.

This trend is somewhat different in work, but the tape foil is already appreciated by the manicurists. Working with it, you can not do without a special adhesive substrate, which will ensure the transfer of the pattern on the accent nail plate. It is purchased separately, it costs quite acceptable with sufficient volume (130-180 rubles for 16 ml).

Work with such material consists of several consecutive steps.

• After staining and drying the accent nail, glue is applied to its surface.
• When drying, the white glue becomes transparent. It is not necessary to dry it in the lamp, this procedure does not require it.
• After the glue dries, the piece of foil is cut off slightly larger than the size of the nail.
• The foil is applied to the non-shiny side of the nail and pressed, as if rubbing the pattern. It is impossible to press hard on the surface through the film so as not to spoil it.
• After printing, the foil is removed, the pattern remains on the surface.
• The nail is sealed on top with a layer of topcoat.

The new season of nail art has brought many surprises to the design. For example, today a popular trend is the emphasis on the ring finger. In this case, the butterfly itself can have a different shape and size. It can fully fit on the nail or partially. Partial placement allows you to beat the technique of the jacket, this design will look super-modern and expressive.

Megamodno perform the design in the classic version, in which all the nails, in addition to the accent, are painted with the same color throughout their area. There is no need to attach magical significance to the butterflies themselves, since they are not any amulets, nor do they bear a certain magical value. However, these insects are able to decorate not only daytime, but also evening images.

Designs can be combined with butterflies with themes such as geometry, graphics, or floral motifs. However, with regard to mixes with colors, you should not create rivalry in design: the butterfly should prevail. The flower can only be shown partially, it will show better on the idea of ​​design than the demonstration of the summer meadow.You can frame some of the nails, in addition to the accent, with contour strokes, a reverse jacket with a thin stick on several nails out of ten will also look beautiful.

Choosing a composition for two adjacent nails, it should be borne in mind that it should be the same, and therefore different proportions and different decorations are unacceptable here. If you want tenderness in design, you can depict a butterfly on the solid background, choosing French manicure as a basis. Today, this design is trendy, it looks light and airy. The design may look like this: all the nails are with a thin smile, and on the nameless there is a butterfly depicted under a diagonal jacket.

Fashion trends offer limited to four tones in the design. In this case, it is undesirable to sculpt on the nails and sparkling decor: it looks better in manicure, when the butterfly is created with a minimum of contrasts. At the same time, it is important that the contours of the butterfly, if any, are as thin as possible and moderately even. To demonstrate the effect of pollen, you can use different design techniques. Having drawn a butterfly, you can use a nail film with overflow, which is used in the broken glass manicure technique, to demonstrate the uniqueness of its wings. Acrylic powder on the contours of the wings will also look beautiful. Also for the design you can use gold or silver pollen and gels.

A butterfly wing will look super stylish and truly realistic if you use a special manicure powder for it - a tick. It is now used not only as a basis or background, rubbing with a finger or a special tool in the accent nail. You can decorate with this material the part where the wings are painted. The effect is amazing. On a light background, it can be a pearl, on a dark background - from a gradient to a mirror, holography and an armor shell beetle.

Today, the best manicure with butterflies on the nails is the one that can fit into a different female image and will look appropriate in it, hinting at the sophistication of its owner. Often you do not need to surround yourself with a flock of colorful butterflies: for the status of one, but elegant. That is why it is better to invest more time for drawing an accent than to slap clones on several or even all nails of a manicure.

If the nails are short, do not hang rhinestones on them: They are easily replaced by gold or silver dots. Do not sculpt nacre and glitter on too short marigolds: this will not bring status, but it can spoil the whole look. Do not blindly repeat designs for bloggers: many such decisions do not comply with the basic rules of manicure. Worthy tutorials do not look colorful, they are made professionally and with a dosage of accents. For self-fulfillment, you can look for lessons with a step-by-step explanation of the technique.
