Ideas for creating manicure with hieroglyphs

What just do not come up with modern designers and fashionistas, trying to stand out and show themselves. At the same time, they increasingly turn to eastern countries with their unusual and mysterious culture. Manicure in the formation of the image in the oriental style, too, can not be ignored, and sometimes you can harmoniously fit it into a casual style. Hieroglyphs on the nails for this will fit perfectly as possible - among them you can find the most simple ones or those that will tell the world about your mood, thoughts or dreams.

You can make such a manicure yourself or with a master - it all depends on the complexity of the idea. All that is required for this is a thin brush or needle, a lacquer for the background, a contrasting lacquer for the design and a transparent fixative. If necessary, you can also apply a base for a manicure and give preference to gel polish - it lasts much longer than usual.

If you do not want to spend time on the interior, but you can’t draw a complex picture or nothing, you can use special stickers. In the absence of necessary stores, you can also purchase special adhesive paper for the printer and print the desired image. After printing, it will need to be cut, pasted on the nails and be sure to cover with a transparent fixative. Otherwise, the stickers will quickly move away from the base varnish and be lost.

A manicure is, of course, not a tattoo, but walking a few weeks with an erroneous inscription is not a good option. Therefore, be sure to check the value of the inscription you want to make in the reference book or with a specialist orientalist. Even the use of ready-made stickers or pictures for printing does not guarantee that their manufacturers were not mistaken in writing.

The main hieroglyphic systems that are suitable for manicure design are Chinese, Egyptian, and Maya. There are also two Japanese syllabary alphabets, which are familiar to all lovers of anime and Japanese films, but some people only unknowingly call them hieroglyphs. In fact, Japan and Korea also use hieroglyphs, but these are the same Chinese, and the rest is their own alphabets.

Chinese characters are perhaps the most popular written characters of this kind. For any souvenir, design, single characters are most often chosen, which designate such concepts as love, luck, wealth, health, etc. But if you wish, you can make whole sentences or individual words by placing each hieroglyph on a separate finger. To do this, you just need to understand the simple rules of the Chinese grammar or ask a specialist to translate.

An interesting option would be to choose several hieroglyphs-amulets at once or add stylized drawings. For example, it can be a Chinese dragon, panda, black and white symbol of Taoism "yin-yang." Traditional flowers that can also be used - lotus, peony, sakura, red poppy. From shades it is best to choose gold, red, black and green.

The hieroglyphs of the ancient Egyptians are well known to all. Many at least once went to sunbathe on the beach, swim in the sea or ride through the desert in the land of the pyramids. And there these badges can be found not only on monuments, but also in souvenir shops. But do not trust the explanations of value from local merchants or bookmarks with the "alphabet" that they sell.Check at least with Wikipedia, where there is a detailed list of all the main characters with examples of words in which they were used.

Egyptian hieroglyphs are very colorful, many of them resemble a pattern or a drawing. They are often very simple, so they are easy to draw yourself. You can also mix signs with images of gods, sacred animals or original ornaments of ancient Egypt. The traditional colors of the Egyptians — yellow, gold, saturated blue, purple, red, dark green, brown — will be especially appropriate.

This writing is even more similar to the pictures than the Egyptian hieroglyphs, so they did not even consider it writing at first. Now it has been deciphered, so there are no problems with the selection of suitable signs and the translation of their meaning into Russian. Maya hieroglyphs are much less known in the open spaces of our country than the Egyptian and Chinese ones, and are distinguished by their original outline. But it is due to the latter that they attract the attention of those who are at least familiar with the history of America.

At first you might think that among the Maya hieroglyphs there is nothing aesthetic and suitable for wearing such a pattern for days. However, if you delve into the topic, you can find not only the specific faces of the gods and scary creatures, but also the cute patterns that form some hieroglyphs. There are quite simple ones that can be drawn with a thin brush or needle, there are very complex ones, if desired, they can be printed in the form of stickers.

They can also be purchased in Latin America or ordered online. Traditional colors for such a manicure - black, ocher, light brown, dark brown, white, yellow, gray-blue. More often opaque shades are used and sometimes add gold. This color is best suited to the Mayan culture.
