Monograms and patterns with gel polish

Beautiful well-groomed hands are an indicator of femininity. A delicate pattern on the nails is an indispensable detail for a romantic image of any girl. Application possibilities and ways of modeling patterns are different. For example, monograms with gel polish can emphasize the color of clothes or play the role of an accent in the overall look.

Monograms on the nails are widely used in several areas of design. This method is used in nail art, where stripes of varnish are a complex combination to form a compositional pattern or even a letter anagram. Thanks to a wide choice of materials and additional tools, you can draw in many ways, and by connecting your imagination, you can create the most striking and unique monogram design.

While seemingly easy to apply, monograms are a difficult technique that requires accuracy and patience. With insufficient concentration, you can easily smear the work or apply the pattern asymmetrically. The main feature is the drawing of all layers with the same pressure, since fine lines are corrected better and faster.

There are several nuances that must be considered when drawing a picture:

• the classic design method implies one color for the main composition on the nails. With youth design, the use of color combinations is allowed;
• it is better to draw thin patterns with acrylic paints - this allows you to quickly dry and fix the picture, as well as make it clearer;
• when crossing lines, expect drying of each applied layer;
• you can not use a large number of patterns - the manicure will look untidy.

Depending on the style and the chosen image, manicure can be chosen for any style and event. There are several main types of design:

• French - in this case, the pattern is located strictly along the edges of one or more nails. Thus, the pattern simply frames the manicure, without much emphasis. This design is most suitable for daily wear;
• classical - the most common type of manicure using monograms. The drawing is applied step by step and forms a complex interweaving of lines. This method is used only by experienced craftsmen, since it is necessary to apply the same patterns on each nail, and this requires some skill;
• modern - the main difference from other styles is the method of application. Patterns cover the entire surface of the nail. However, there may not be symmetry here, each monogram is unique and unrepeatable. This design is the brightest and most catchy of all.Often, nail service masters come up with new style solutions to participate in competitions.

Monograms on nails can be drawn in several ways:

• stamping - the application of the composition is carried out using a stencil, on which there is already a finished pattern. The disadvantages of this design include the simplification of the style. Nothing can be added to such a picture;
• stickers - the easiest way to transfer patterns. You can make such a manicure very quickly - the pattern is glued to the nail and pressed with a strong adhesive enzyme. After that, it is fixed with a colorless varnish;
• drawing - the most difficult and time-consuming way. Beginners are advised to use stencils to "stuff their hands" and speed up the process.

In order for the manicure to last for a long time and meet all the requirements of style and fashion, the following set of tools is needed:

• main, additional, contrasting and finishing gel polish;
• UV dryer each layer of varnish;
• degreaser nail plates;
• brush for fine drawing monograms (styper);
• tips and ready-made patterns for painting.

Regardless of the method of applying the decor itself, you will have to go through all the main stages step by step.

1. Nail preparation. It is necessary to model an even, regular shape and length of the nail plates, and then process the cuticle. With a rough nozzle (buff), polish the surface of each nail, and only then degrease them with a special solution or alcohol.
2. Making the base layer. The first thing to do after processing is to cover the nails with a base coat of varnish and let it dry under a UV lamp. After that, you can use the background layer and dry again.Next, you should fix each nail with a top coat, while not forgetting to send them to dry thoroughly. It is also necessary to seal the tips of the nail plates when applying each layer.
3. Drawing patterns-monograms. Before applying the drawing, it is necessary to "buff" the last layer for good adhesion. After that, you can safely pick up a drop of colored gel polish on the tip of a thin brush, applying it to the nail and stretching in the right direction. There should not be many patterns - this is the main elegance. After transferring the pattern, the nails must be dried and a topcoat applied.

Helpful hints:

• You can learn how to make beautiful patterns using stencils. The more drawings are transferred, the better and smoother the monograms will be every time;
• you can also use additional materials - powder, rhinestones, silver and gold sand;
• for a more festive manicure, complex patterns and themed murals should be used, but for everyday life it is better to make a calm design with a pattern on one nail.
