• Many girls complement not only the classic, but also the colored jacket with the help of simple dragonflies. This design looks simple but tasteful;
• Dragonflies on a laconic white color look very contrasting. But the main thing here is to make sure that the drawing is done perfectly, otherwise all errors will be noticeable;
• The option looks extraordinary when a dragonfly with a flower is located on the ring finger, while others are made in sand technique or covered with velvet or small sparkles;
• A complex composition with a dragonfly is best placed on only one finger, otherwise you risk making the manicure too heavy. And since these insects are “light and airy” in themselves, the nail design with them should be sophisticated.

To perform a beautiful manicure on nails with dragonflies, you will need the following materials:

• Nail polishes. It can be both regular options and persistent gel polishes. The latter require a base, top and UV lamp;
• Nail polish remover;
• Brushes for painting small details. Necessarily thin and dots;
• Acrylic paints if necessary;
• Details for decoration: large and small rhinestones, bouillons, crystals, shiny and velvet powders, rubs, foil;
• Stencils, if you decide to decorate a french or moon manicure with a dragonfly.

In any case, a dragonfly manicure will look elegant, so the nails themselves should be in their best shape. Before applying varnish and drawing, take care of their ideal shape, file them or cut them to the desired length. For the least safe cuticle removal, soak your nails in oil or sea salt. Such therapy at home largely contributes to the improvement of the condition of the nails and their strengthening.

On steamed nails, it is easiest to move the cuticle with a special spatula and clean it, also do not forget to remove all burrs. In the salon, you may be offered to do hardware cleaning, which is considered even safer and more modern.
