How to make a simple and stylish manicure with dandelions on the nails?
Manicure with dandelions is considered one of the fashionable designs of the new season. Stylish summer design attracts the eyes of others, allowing the woman to be the center of attention. As it is not difficult to make a manicure at home today, it is worth considering all the nuances of this design.
Options for color combinations and decor
Fashion new season is confident that the manicure should take into account the time of year. This means that the colors for design should be selected summer. For example, a manicure in white, lilac, mint, blue, pink and coral colors will look good on nails. Shades of pastel groups are considered the most successful for this design, because they breathe lightness and create a special summer mood. It looks great manicure with dandelions on a yellow, turquoise, blue tone, as well as an option made in beige, nude, green, bronze, lemon, pistachio, milky and orange tones.
Important! The color of the pigmented varnish is tried to be selected taking into account the pattern, so that the print looks impressive and does not merge with the main background.
As they paint dandelions more often with black and white paint, they are supplemented with colored inks of the main background. The basis for decorating can be both monophonic and gradient. The following combinations can be called excellent combinations of the background with the ombre effect:
- coral and peach;
- pink and lilac;
- lilac and blue;
- yellow, pinkish and milky;
- white and blue;
- green and yellow;
- White and black.
The black color of dandelions in each design looks different, because the emotional perception depends on the color contrast, and also the manner of execution of the print is different. When it is made in silhouette technique without much drawing, it looks simpler than in the case of accenting the smallest details of the plant. Of course, the best designs are not a shadow, but a practically realistic flower with a white fluffy hat. Although at first glance it seems impossible to draw such a thing, in fact there are quite a few methods proving the opposite.
Manicure can be decorated in different ways. For example, various rubbing, kamifubuki, modeling gel and even rhinestones are excellent for this. However, before complementing the gentle summer pattern, you need to think about how appropriate it is. For example, the scattering of the same rhinestones instead of harmonious completion of the composition will simply smash it, drawing attention to itself. Here you need to dose the accents and skillfully select places for them. For example, it can be a dew drop or a seed flying in the wind.
Kamifubuki too pretty capricious. But if you choose not shiny, but ordinary colored confetti, they can be used for seeds of a white dandelion hat. They can also decorate the receptacle or sepal. However, they can not fully decorate the hat flower. It is necessary to select such decor taking into account the general color schemes. For example, it will look more beautiful not in the tone of the main background, but in bleno-gray, shading an umbrella.
Rubs allow you to give the accent nails a special multi-faceted effect. However, in this case they need to be dosed, because with an excess manicure will begin to give a metallic sheen. As for the modeling gel, it is able to give the design volume.With it, you can create drawings with the effect of 3D, which today is considered a fashionable method of decorating.
You can change the perception of the design, using acrylic powder or the so-called flock powder.
It will give the picture a volume and original texture, due to which the design will look volume and velvety. Choosing this technique of decoration, you need to take into account the thoroughness of drawing with a top or gel, after which they are applied powder and dried under a lamp. Beautifully can look dandelion umbrellas and silver-coated.
How to choose a varnish?
Pigmented products today amaze variety of assortment. In order not to get confused and choose a really good option, you should consider the following rules:
- for a manicure with a design, you need a lacquer with dense pigmentation; they will have to paint the nails twice, but in thin layers, so that it does not strip or spread outside the nail plate;
- buy better gel polish, because it is clean tones, durable to wear, looks expensive;
- well suited for manicure with dandelions matte, glossy coating; drawing on chameleon, magnetic, nacreous varieties of lacquer pigments will not be noticeable;
- for short nails it is worth looking at the coatings darker, because too light varnishes will visually expand and shorten the nail plate;
- if the nails are long, it is better to choose light and tender colors for the design, so that the design from light and air does not become heavy and vulgar;
- it is necessary to select a varnish taking into account the decoration elements - the color should stand out against the background of the picture;
- the texture can be chosen differently, but it is better to have it matte: such a manicure will look more expensive;
- it is better to choose the color taking into account the available clothes of the wardrobe, while getting into the tone is undesirable: it is better that the shade of varnish and clothing be related.
Ways to create nail art
To date, decorate your nails with dandelions can be based on three methods of decoration. It is worth considering the nuances of each technique, in order to know the essence of the work.
Brush
The first method involves the implementation of a dandelion with a thin brush. Outwardly, it looks like a needle, but the pressure of the tool should be easy and sure, because this will change the width of the lines. In fact, drawing dandelions is no big deal. If desired, you can buy a tool in the shape of a pen, otherwise the technique is unchanged: the drawing is created using acrylic paints, and sometimes using a modeling gel.
The pattern can be either on one accent nail, or on compositional composition, for example, umbrellas flying from one dandelion.
Stickers
This technique is unique in that it allows you to create professional design in a short time. It is better to work with water sliders that need to be lowered into the water to separate the paper backing. They are distinguished not only by the simplicity of work, but also by the expressiveness of the drawing. After the sticker is dried and covered with a layer of topcoat, the manicure will look professional and beautiful.
Stemping
This method of creating a picture is nothing more than stamping finished patterns. They are transferred from metal plates with different engraved prints. Disadvantage can be called the need to fit the picture. Stamps are convenient because the drawing is accurate, beautiful and clear, and this process takes very little time. If desired, the stamping can be supplemented with acrylic paints.
Step-by-step manicure technique
In order to have an idea of what constitutes a design with dandelions, one should briefly outline the basic methods of work, based on the design of a manicure of the classical type. In general, the step-by-step technique will consist of preliminary preparation of the nails and their further decoration. On plain nails stained with the selected pigment, it is easiest to create drawings.
Training
Before embarking on a decorative manicure, perform a medical, including the following steps:
- hands are soaked for 10–15 minutes in warm water;
- after the time has elapsed, they wipe dry, smear them with special oil, rubbing it into the places around the nail plates;
- nails are shaped;
- pterigy are removed with the help of manicure instruments;
- cuticle lifted, slightly ottyagivayut finger and cut;
- nail plate polished with a buff, removing the gloss;
- sawdust removed, its remains after grinding, as well as oil, degreased.
Coloring and design
After preparing the nails proceed to a decorative manicure. There are some nuances that you need to know when working with gel polish. Do not do without a special drying device, as well as the base and finish coatings. These are lacquer products, without which no modern manicure is possible. The base is needed to enhance the pigment strenght, and the topcoat will extend the period of manicure.
Working with hybrid varnishes, you need to consider a lot of things.
For example, before drying, they can be corrected, but after it will be problematic. Apply products will have a thin layer, drying each separately after application. It is necessary to paint on the dried pigment, and you need to try to paint a little bit on the brush. It is impossible to apply a lot of pigment, as from this the coating life will significantly decrease.
After the base is prepared, the top, pigment, contrasting varnish, as well as drawing tools, begin to paint the nails. This process includes the following steps:
- nail plates are covered with a thin layer of the base and dried in the lamp;
- on the basis put the first layer of a monochromatic coating and dry it;
- the second layer overlaps the unpainted areas and dries the coating again;
- nail decorate pattern (sticker, stamping);
- on top of the picture put a layer of top and dry it.
Now it is worth considering how a pattern is created on painted nails. When there is no experience, it is better to pick up a sketch in advance and try to draw it so that it fits on the nail plate. Drawing in the size of a nail will be useful. Draw on the already proven technology will be much easier. Suppose it will be nails with umbrellas flying in the wind. They take a white paint and a thin brush, draw a thin line like a snowflake, bring out the line of the foot. They take black paint and tint the white leg with black color: flying umbrellas are ready.
To draw a fluffy dandelion, in the right place put a dot, and then draw a ball on the principle of snowflakes. Then on the tips of the lines create small beaters. You can fill the middle with simple lines or another row of umbrellas. Black paint creates a receptacle just below the middle of the resulting ball. Then paint on a pedicel and leaves. If you plan to use gel instead of umbrellas, do not paint whips at the ends (enough fluffy snowflakes).
