Manicure "Dreamcatcher"

Nail designers are constantly coming up with interesting and original designs to create nail art. One of the creative ideas is the Dreamcatcher manicure - applying such an image is quite simple, although at first it does not seem so. This manicure is ideal for light outfits, airy dresses. It will be a great addition to the whole image.

The dream catcher is a circle of vines with woven threads inside. This symbol has spread from the indigenous peoples of America - the Indians. It is believed that such a talisman misses good dreams, and bad ones get tangled in a web of threads.

To date, the dream catcher does not carry any sacred meaning, which was given to it in antiquity. However, if you put a drawing on your nails and turn on the placebo effect, then this symbol will contribute to the successful advancement of your life path, it will make a person more confident.

On the nails, a circle with threads and other decorations is depicted, or only its individual parts. Manicure looks non-standard - thanks to this, you can get a wonderful aesthetic effect.

Creating such a design at home is quite simple. To this end, you should prepare:

• protective coatings - base and top;
• varnishes of several colors;
• brush of the required thickness;
• acrylic paints;
• dots (a thin stick, at the end of which there is a ball - it is easy to draw neat dots with it, connecting them into garlands or lace).

When creating a nail design, prepare your hands first. The nails are given a suitable shape and length, the cuticle is removed, and the side ridges are carefully processed. Then the masters polish the nail plate and apply a degreaser. After that they:

• cover the nails with a base coat - to strengthen and prevent pigmentation due to the absorption of varnish;
• apply the selected varnish;
• the desired pattern is applied to the dried varnish.

The image is created using a thin brush, dots and acrylic paints. You should not take too much paint on a brush - the strokes will turn out sloppy and uneven. First, a circle or semicircle is usually drawn, and then a web. It can look like a simple mesh or a beautiful intricate pattern - it all depends on your imagination. It is not at all necessary to draw a dream catcher yourself. It is enough to purchase a stencil.

If there is a desire to make an unusual and spectacular nail art, then sparkles are added, feathers or geometric shapes are depicted. When the varnish and pattern dry, they are applied with a dense layer of top coat. It will protect the paint from cracking and extend the "life" of the manicure.

There are several nail design techniques suitable for creating a dreamcatcher manicure:

• Ombre (gradient) - a smooth transition of colors with no clear boundaries between them. Several shades are used, the gradient is obtained using a sponge.
• Lunar - the hole of the nail stands out and a concave or convex “smile” line is made. You can draw lines by hand, but many use stencils.
• French - a white strip is applied to the free edge of the nail plate, the nail is covered with a colorless, peach or pale pink varnish. The strip is made by hand or by applying a stencil.

The dream catcher is used not only to create a manicure, but also as a decoration. Most often there are earrings and pendants on long ropes. Such jewelry will go well with nail art, which depicts a protective talisman. Extraordinary decorations in the form of geometric shapes and feathers are welcome.

Such a manicure will suit the ethnic style of clothing, close to the Indian theme. Beautiful geometric ornaments, fringes and embroideries, brown, blue, green, golden colors will look good with the Dreamcatcher manicure.

This nail art is a great solution for everyday work, the main thing is to use calm pastel shades. The best option is white, beige and coffee tones. They will not contrast with strict office clothes in white, black or gray, so the image will turn out to be businesslike and not defiant.

When going on a date or a romantic walk, you can get a manicure with a picture of an amulet. In this case, it is necessary to take varnishes of delicate tones as a basis - light pink, blue, lilac. The design will perfectly complement the set of a fluffy skirt and a light blouse, sandals or high-heeled shoes.

You need to constantly experiment, choose bright colors for manicure and train to draw the dream catcher symbol - then creating an interesting nail art on your own will not be difficult.
