Manicure with circles: design ideas and decoration examples
Beautiful and well-groomed nails - a stylish addition to the image of each girl. However, it is very important to choose the right manicure and design, which will correspond not only to the latest trends and fashion trends, but also fit the individual style of clothing and lifestyle.
One of the common universal options is a manicure with circles. There are many variations and a huge number of varieties of this design. How to fill your nails with colored circles, and whether there are neutral design options, consider in this article.
Required Tools
In order to make the process of applying a manicure with circles as quick and simple as possible, the masters of the nail service invented and developed a special tool called dots (dot from English means “point”).
By nature, this device consists of two parts: a wooden base and a metal tip. The wooden base serves as a handle-holder, and the main work goes to the metal tip, the end of which has the shape of a ball.
There are many models of this device, which differ in diameter of this ball (from a few millimeters to several centimeters). In addition, universal dots can be found on the market, the set of which will include only one base and several tips at once.
The tool is quite easy to use and does not require careful maintenance. So, in order to make a manicure with its help, it is necessary to choose a suitable nozzle, which should then be dipped in the selected shade of lacquer, and with light, jerky movements apply the design on the nail.
To clean the device, use a cotton pad and nail polish remover. Also, periodically the instrument must be disinfected. You can buy dots at any cosmetic store.
If you are not the happy owner of this unique device, you will come to the rescue with available tools. So, instead of a tool, you can use stealth, safety pins, toothpicks, pencils or pens, as well as a cotton swab - the choice depends on the desired diameter of the circles. You can also assemble several items at once to create an uneven image with circles of different diameters.
Design Ideas
Being a versatile manicure consisting of circles, it can be done with the help of extremely complex techniques used by the masters of nail service in beauty salons or simpler methods that can be repeated by yourself at home.
The first thing you need to decide is the type of manicure. So, there are two main options:
- using lacquer base;
- applying circles on a clean nail or using a transparent coating as a base.
If you want to create a more complete and rich manicure, then the first method will suit you, but if you need to create a light and unobtrusive coating, use the second one.
Another fundamental criterion is the color palette. So, a manicure with circles can be:
- multi-colored;
- one-color;
- contrasting.
With the first two options, everything is clear (using one or more varnish colors). If we talk about the third method, here we mean a combination of extremely contrasting colors: black and white, black and red, blue and yellow, white and violet.
Design options
So, on your nails can be portrayed classic and never aging polka dots. The size of the peas may vary depending on your preferences and the chosen tool for applying points.
Also a good solution would be to choose different design options: symmetrical large peas all over the nail or using smaller peas in one part.
Dots - the name of not only the tool, but also the manicure style itself. In essence, it is a nail coating in color from the base palette (for example, beige varnish) and then applying single points on top (one nail is a point) of a contrasting color in the lower central part of the nail. This option is considered one of the most elegant ways to design nails.
Drawing a flower print - one more idea of dot manicure. If you want to portray a colorful flower, then cover the nail with clear varnish as a base, and apply bright shades from above. For example, you can draw a sunflower - for this, put a black dot in the center of the nail and surround it with yellow circles. Optionally, you can add a stem and leaf. Summer and refreshing manicure ready.
Another simple design option is vague abstraction. So, you can apply circles on the nail in several ways: linear, zigzag or spiral. If you use this advice, you will get a neat and unusual manicure.
The overlapping of points of different shades on each other also looks very beautiful. To embody such a design, first the nails are painted with the chosen varnish, and when it dries, they put the dots in white, closer to the tip of the nail. After 10-15 minutes, you can apply circles of another color, in some places slightly covering the white elements. However, do not choose too contrasting option.
As you can see, there are a large number of options for stylizing points on the nails - they can be not only an abstract ornament, but also a completely finished image. Do not be afraid to experiment and make your own individual corrections, even in ready-made templates and instructions, so you can create a personalized and unique design.
