Wet gel polish design

There is a huge variety of manicure decorations. One of the most popular methods is wet gel polish design. It looks very advantageous, attracts attention, but at the same time it is simple and the best option for beginners. The method is very popular, and its main difference from other decor methods is simplicity, which means that any girl can handle it.

The basis of the technique is the execution of a drawing on nails on wet varnish. The selected print is applied with a special tool - flowers, patterns, anagrams. With a slight free movement of the hand on the nails, beautiful monograms are obtained, and the colors are partially mixed and form bright and unusual combinations.

The design can also be done with a simple varnish, however, a special gel polish formula has its own characteristics and advantages:

• working hours. The product hardens under a UV lamp, so you can calmly and slowly model the design, the drawing is clear and even;
• the base has a liquid consistency, thanks to which the lines "float" along the nail, forming delicate patterns. Too watery products are not suitable for manicure;
• bright colors gel polish have good durability and stay on the nails longer than a simple varnish.

Due to the ease of application, the wet gel polish design is especially popular.. For example, you can use simple tools without buying professional add-ons. However, improvised means should be selected with special care - they should not complicate the work, but only simplify it.

It is necessary to pay attention to the viscosity of the varnish. The pigment should be slightly spread over the nail, so the coating should have an average density. Fixing the picture in this case will be of high quality.

For creative actions, you will need a needle, toothpick or brush. The latter can be natural or synthetic. Natural pile allows you to make softer shapes, and artificial - will make the edges of the picture clearer and brighter.

Drawing schemes do not require special efforts and talents. You can learn them very easily. Main types:

• spots. Spots are drawn with dots on the wet surface of the lacquer coating. Different colors are applied in a certain sequence. The entire nail plate is filled with drops, a certain pattern is built on the sides or in the center. Colored monograms gently spread, while creating unusual transitions;
• imitation coloring reptile. Drawing takes place according to the technology of dot application in a checkerboard pattern, leaving small gaps between the dotted lines;
• curls. Spot paint is applied along the nail. Further, curls and patterns of the required shape emerge from the drops. Unusual method: using a needle between points to draw figure eights and loops;
• flower. To form a beautiful floral print, you need to put a few dots of varnish in a circle, then stretch the lines to the center or in different directions, forming petals. In order to draw roses, you need to use a brush - leave a few curved lines in a circle and finish drawing the core;
• branches. Dotted need to draw a white line. In the middle of each point, drip emerald varnish. Then you need to gently stretch the toothpick over the points, pulling them out to get a branch. Another method involves applying dots in two rows, with alternating varnish. From each drop, you can draw a leaf, stretching it to the middle, gradually forming a twig;

• spring. A few drops must be placed in a row with alternating colors, and then go through them with dots, making spiral movements;
• shells. For correct drawing, draw a circle of dots, then draw another smaller circle. It is necessary to connect the pattern with a spiral movement, gently pressing at the rounded shapes;
• marble imitation. This pattern is based on a combination of two shades, usually black and white. On a light tone, certain areas are darkened - on the sides and in the middle. Next, you need to draw the so-called "veins" from one darkening to another. Sometimes the lines can be smoothly shaded;
• butterfly. On a monophonic basis, several colored parallel lines should be drawn, and a transverse line should be placed in the middle. After that, you can connect the tips at one point, thus forming the wings of a butterfly;
• peacock feather. In the middle of the nail, you should drip varnish, then circle it with different colors, gently pulling the pattern along the sides.For this design, it is recommended to use varnishes with glitter;

• abstraction. This design is similar to a water manicure. For him, it is better to use several shades. Draw stripes close to each other, then draw transverse lines, but changing the speed and pressure;
• cobweb-mesh. With an ordinary brush from a bottle, two or three vertical stripes should be drawn along the surface of the nail. Then, with a thin brush or toothpick, draw transverse lines, as if crossing out the composition. If you want to arrange the design in cobwebs, you must do the same, only the transverse lines should be applied unevenly and to the sides;
• french classic manicure. It is created in the standard way, only with a blurry border. On a wet basis, it is necessary to draw a curved line along the edge of the nail, and then shade its edges with a needle or a soft brush.

Tips for beginners:

• it is better to give preference to contrasting shades. The most original ideas are obtained by combining bright colors. But it should be remembered that they are not suitable for everyday manicure;
• if you need to change or correct the drawing, the brush must be wiped dry after any action. If this is not done, the shades will easily intersect and blend beautifully, which is also very beautiful. Therefore, it is only necessary to decide on the design;
• movements should be performed clearly and confidently - this is how the most unusual and beautiful combinations are formed.

For manicure in this technique you will need a set of tools:

• base and top coat;
• primer;
• gel polish of several colors or shades, depending on the chosen pattern;
• accessories in the form of a brush or needle;
• drying lamp.

Before you start drawing, the pens need to be put in order: push back the cuticle at the tip of the nails, trim the edge of the plates and sand the surface of each nail.

1. Apply degreaser and primer.
2. After drying cover the nails with a base coat of gel polish.
3. Apply two or three layers of gel polish, each of which is dried in a UV lamp.
4. Cover with an additional layer of varnish nails (use adjacent shade) and start painting.

The best solution is painting with flowers on each nail. The wet texture of the varnish is ideal for conveying all complex color transitions. Walkthrough:

1. On a thin brush you need to pick up color and apply drop by drop to the nails. This will be the base for each flower. Gradually, you need to draw layer by layer.
2. The nail polish can spread on the nail and mix with the base, which will create a harmonious combination and effect of volume.
3. After pulling lines, it is recommended to wait 10-20 seconds and dry the nails under a UV lamp.
4. The drawing should always be fixed with a top, and then remove the sticky layer.

Elegance hides in simplicity. This design is suitable for daily wear and strict business style. To complete, you will need quite a bit: the colors of gel polishes in pastel shades, for example, beige and brown. Actions:

• after careful treatment of the nails, cover them with a transparent base and dry under a UV lamp;
• further - the little finger and thumb should be decorated with beige varnish, and a brown tint should be applied to the remaining fingers;
• but on the ring finger there will be a light, unobtrusive pattern.
• on a wet brown tone, white gel polish should be dotted above and below. Stretch it from one side and the other to the middle;
• the painting must be covered with a finish and dried.

One of the most popular types of design is drawing roses on wet gel polish. The spreading lines that are formed in this case can make up a harmonious whole. There can be several variants of the pattern - using buds on each nail, where a small rose is located a little lower, complemented by petals and thorns. Or drawing nail art on the entire nail. The technique used in the base is very simple:

• after nail treatment apply the first layer of color and dry it in the lamp;
• apply a second layer but this time do not use UV drying - it is on this layer that you need to paint and stretch the patterns;
• further on each nail plate you should draw a rose: put a few dots in a circle, and then drag the drawing along the axis with a thin brush. A few turns around - and the base turned out. After that, you need to draw the petals - the lines should be from the center, and it is better to make the edges as thin as possible. Make a frame along the border, as if wrapping a flower;
• remaining space must be filled in the same way;
• make adjustments drawing by color, complementing it with an adjacent shade. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the main tone and select the shade specifically for it;
• one of the last steps - this is drying fingers in a UV lamp;
• completing the process you need to remember to apply a top coat and also dry it.

For such a pattern, you need to prepare the nail plates - remove the cuticle, cut the edge to the required length, give an even and neat shape to each nail. The surface should be treated with a buff - adjust the top layer and wipe with a degreasing agent. It is better to apply a transparent primer at the very end - you do not need to dry it.

• Apply base and dry it in a UV lamp.
• Process nails a layer of white gel polish with sealing of the ends, then dry again.
• Apply another layer of white varnish, but without drying - a drawing will be placed on it.
• Draw a flower pattern - for this you need to use a thin brush and dark gel polish. The brush must not be wet. You need to apply the drawing in smooth strokes, and then dry it for about 14 seconds under the lamp. This is necessary to fix the coating, but not completely harden it. In this case, it is easy to glue and fix the imitation of chrome to it. It will only adhere to those areas where the drying time was about 12-14 seconds.
• Process drawing fixative coating and dry under the lamp.
• Remove sticky layer and apply a care product on top.

The drawing is currently very popular. Imitation of reptile skin allows you to achieve an unusual effect on the nails and attract attention. You can use the usual tools:

• from varnishes: dark and somewhat light (mother-of-pearl, golden, greenish, etc.);
• mesh. It should be extremely thin and preferably from an artificial base - this way the drawing will turn out to be even and neat.

Sequencing:

• apply a light base after nail treatment and dry your nails under the lamp;
• then a mesh is applied to the nails over the entire surface, after which it should be painted over with a dark layer of varnish and dried;
• after 10-12 seconds drying, remove the mesh.

If you want to keep the unusual relief of the coating, it is better to refuse the finish. You can also use unusual solutions - change the location of the grid, apply several shades of shellac or two grids with different cell sizes.

In this unusual design - a combination of several colors that smoothly flow from one to another. The picture has a haze effect. Actions:

• it is necessary to apply two or three layers of black gel polish as a base (each of them to dry). The sticky layer must be removed;
• leave the last layer without drying. It is necessary to pick up the desired color on the brush and apply it along the edges of the nails - so it will spread in bizarre beautiful shapes;
• mix two colors of stained glass paints with a top coat for gel polishes and apply to the free areas of the wet layer. After that, it is necessary to dry the nails;
• add another color of varnish on top and gently shade it with a brush. When two colors intersect, an unusual effect will result - a third shade will appear.

• Coating must be applied only liquid texture - this is how beautiful drawings and stains will turn out;
• with a specific design for example, drawing a rose, you should pay special attention to color combinations. The best is the design of red roses on a black background.Also popular are pink, purple, purple shades on a light basis;
• before using gel polish, it is necessary to check its consistency on cardboard or tips: whether it spreads well over the surface;
• if the shellac is too thick, then it can be mixed with a liquid base. In order for the product not to flow to the sides, it must be applied in a thin layer;
• drawings and patterns will be better and more accurate, if you use a dog brush. Such a model has a thick pen, but a thin tip - it paints very well and carefully picks up the coloring pigment;
• well, if on the table, in addition to the brush, there will be other improvised devices - tips, toothpicks, needles, pencils and dots of different diameters. This will help create a variety of effects on the nails.
