Pedicure with rhinestones
The girl's legs in the summer period especially attract attention. To make them look spectacular in new sandals, you can do an elegant pedicure. And in order for the fingers to shine, rhinestones can be glued to the nails. Pedicure with rhinestones is the most popular this season.
Peculiarities
It is better to entrust the very first pedicure procedure to professionals. Depending on the category of beauty salon, this service can cost up to four thousand rubles. You can choose a salon according to the price category, almost everyone now provides this popular service. The price depends not only on the category of the master, but also on what materials he uses in his work. It is important not to sell too cheap and find a good value for money.
Not all girls consider it necessary to varnish their toenails, and in vain. If you limit yourself to a simple uncoated pedicure, then it is more difficult to show the beauty of your feet, since colorless fingers attract much less attention. It is especially important to do a pedicure before going to the sea, because you need to sunbathe on the beach in all its glory!
In every beauty salon where a pedicure service is provided, the master can not only cut the nails beautifully and neatly, but also make beautiful drawings on the nails and cover them with rhinestones.Swarovski crystals are often used in nail art, making the appearance more elegant and attractive.
Regardless of what exactly the pedicure and pattern will be, with stones or with rhinestones, the masters offer universal instructions for its implementation.
- Preparing fingers for a pedicure. To do this, you need to give the nail the correct shape. Most girls are round. The edges are rounded and filed with a high-quality sand-coated file. It is better to avoid metal files, as they damage the nail.
- Next, polishing the nail is required. A special buff will help with this.
- Next, you need to put in order the entire foot. This will require a foot mask, as well as a good nourishing cream. It is necessary to get rid of corns and rough keratinized tissue areas.
- You need to put your fingers in a special separator, so that the creation of a picture and the application of varnish are as convenient as possible.
- Before applying varnish, you need to cover the nail with a base that will protect it and correct imperfections. This is especially important if for a pedicure with clear polish.
- After working with varnish, you need to make a drawing, according to which rhinestones will later be glued. Masters, as a rule, focus on the thumbs, since they are the ones that attract the most attention and are most noticeable from summer sandals.
- At this stage, you can begin to cover and create a pattern with rhinestones. Pebbles need to be attached with special glue.
- Now I need to finish the pedicure, to make it last as long as possible.
On the toenails, you can do a pedicure with both ordinary varnish and shellac. Both options have not lost popularity in the last few seasons. Whatever the choice, attaching rhinestones can be done with a toothpick or tweezers.The second one can be purchased if a pedicure with rhinestones is planned to be done regularly, since a toothpick, although good in business, is still not a pedicure tool.
After creating such a pedicure with rhinestones, it is not recommended to wear closed shoes, as the stones can quickly peel off because of it. It is for this reason that a pedicure with rhinestones is considered to be an exclusively summer transformation of appearance.
There are secrets that concern the Strays. It is not recommended to use large stones on small nails as it will look ridiculous. In addition, the masters do not advise too much to cover the nails with rhinestones, this needs a measure. It will be much prettier if the nails have an elegant and even concise pattern.
So, for example, you can lay out a line of stones across or diagonally across the thumbnail, and glue one pebble on the rest.
Selection of stones
We must not forget that rhinestones come from different materials - from plastic to real gems. They are not only round, but also oval, triangular, square. By combining different forms, you can achieve an unusual and beautiful effect. Do not forget that you should not mix artificial and real rhinestones in one pattern, as it looks tasteless. Of course, real glass rhinestones look more advantageous than plastic ones, but they are significantly more expensive.
Proper nail service materials are flat on one side and convex on the other. The flat side is well glued to the nail with special glue. In order for the pedicure to sparkle, it is better to pick up sparkling rhinestones. In the rays of the sun, they will show themselves in all their glory.
If a pedicure with rhinestones is planned on extended nails, then the rhinestones should be chosen cone-shaped. Sparkling elements need to be cut into the nail, for this this form is best suited.
In no case should you use non-specialized glue. Sometimes girls glue rhinestones to the nail with superglue and regret it, because the plate deteriorates because of it. If there is no special glue, you can use a small amount of transparent varnish. It holds rhinestones much worse, but does not spoil the nail. After applying glue or varnish, the rhinestone must be pressed tightly and held for a few seconds. Further, it should not be disturbed in order to avoid falling off.
In one pedicure, you can combine rhinestones of different colors. For convenience, during this very laborious work, you can arrange the pebbles by color or make a drawing on a tray, and then transfer it to the nail. At the same time, each nail is prepared separately so that the glue and varnish do not dry out ahead of time.
After finishing work on a pedicure, you should refrain from shoes and slippers for some time so that the stones do not accidentally move, even if the glue, varnish and finish coat, as it seems, have dried up.
In order for the decoration to last longer on the nails, the masters do not advise using too hot water, often visiting the bath and sauna. The chlorinated water in the pools also negatively affects the pedicure with rhinestones. While bathing, do not rub your fingers with a sponge or washcloth. You have to be careful with your pedicure.
Design Ideas
The most popular was, is and remains French manicure and pedicure. French nails are relevant both on the legs and on the hands at any time of the year and have not left the catwalks for several seasons.You can decorate a simple French pedicure with rhinestones, then it will sparkle with new colors. At the same time, as a basis, you can take both a classic French manicure and its varieties. In other words, you can cover the nails with both nude varnish and red, blue, green or any other. Even the distinctive feature of this pedicure - a thin white stripe on the edge of the nail - can change its color.
The rhinestones that will be glued to the nails should be contrasting, then they will be more noticeable. On the contrary, you can take harmonizing ones, then they will emphasize the color, and the nail will emphasize them.
Another type of jacket is a pedicure with holes. It is, as it were, the reverse and opposite of French. If in that a contrasting strip is drawn along the edge of the nail, then in the hole - along the lunula - the place where the nail begins. It is in this hole that you can beautifully arrange rhinestones. Sometimes masters put several rhinestones in it, and sometimes they make a pattern with sparkles on one finger so that it stands out from the rest.
Summer is a great time to experiment. Especially if you have to travel. Masters advise girls to try Chinese painting pedicure. Such a pedicure implies not only various patterns with a large number of colors, but also inlaid with sparkles. It looks very cute, and you want to constantly examine your fingers.
Can a stone be liquid? Yes, if it is a special nail decoration technique. This type of varnish is very popular for use in manicure, but it will look great on the legs if you combine it with rhinestones. This varnish must be applied over the main stencil, and then allowed to dry. Next on the finish layer, until it dries, you can glue rhinestones.
A pedicure will be very unusual and beautiful if you add it with broths. These are special round pebbles-decorations that are attached to the nail. The smallest of them are similar to sand, and the largest - with rhinestones. The average size of the broths is from one to four millimeters. A pedicure with them will be very stylish, but the location of the decoration is important. It should not completely cover the nail, but only on certain parts, thereby creating a pattern.
Bouillons are a very economical decoration. It is important to carefully glue them so that they do not fall off ahead of time. It is better to use special glue and avoid mechanical impact on the nail with decoration.
You can do a pedicure without varnish at all, using only rhinestones or broths. To do this, you need to stick the stones either in the lunula or along the line of the French manicure. It will look stylish and unusual. You can generally cover the entire nail with broths, but this will require the smallest possible balls. With large ones, such a pedicure will look stupid.
Color solutions
For pedicure use almost all colors from white to black. You can pick it up by skin color, character, event for which the pedicure is done. Nude looks very elegant with rhinestones, as it emphasizes the beauty of the stones. Other delicate tones also look beautiful with decorations, such as pink, beige. Pastel colors should not be abandoned, even if you want an impressive pedicure. If you cover your nails with soft varnish, taking, for example, peach, and add beautiful stones to it, then the image will be complete, and the impression of you will remain for a long time.
It is in the summer pedicure that you can indulge and combine different colors. You can generally make your nails multi-colored by painting each finger in a different color.With colored nails, every girl will attract more attention to herself. A pedicure with so-called complementary colors will look very unusual. So called those colors that are opposite to each other. If they are all placed on the color wheel, then complementary colors will be exactly opposite each other. Combinations will look very nice: blue and coral, yellow and purple, moonlight and lilac. On a lighter nail, you can make a pattern of rhinestones.
If you want to make a light and dim pedicure, then you can take mint, blue, turquoise. Now these colors are more popular than ever. They will look great on the beach or on a sea cruise, especially if these colors are complemented with medium-sized rhinestones.
For an urban pedicure or relaxing in a garden outside the city, burgundy and fuchsia are well suited. But with these colors you need to be careful, as they will not fit every shoe. With caution, one must also approach the selection of accessories and the shape of rhinestones. Do not use clothes that are also decorated with rhinestones. But at the same time, if there is a manicure on the hands, it is better that it exactly repeats the pedicure and also contains small rhinestones. Such harmony looks nice and elegant.
Shoes for such a pedicure should be as simple, minimalistic and concise as possible. Her design should not have stones, otherwise it will look like a bust. Nevertheless, a pedicure with rhinestones is suitable for almost any clothes and shoes, but you need to follow these small rules.
Fashion trends and novelties
A beautiful pedicure is always in trend. Modern girls who regularly follow current trends know that shellac has been especially popular for several seasons in a row.It perfectly saves time and money, and the pedicure with its help is excellent. If you add rhinestones to a simple coating, then it will become magnificent.
A bright pedicure will refresh your summer look. It can be supplemented with a pattern. Sometimes masters do a pedicure with butterflies - for example, they paint a butterfly on the thumb with one varnish, cover the nail with another. And on the wings of a butterfly sit rhinestones. You can either have one large one or several smaller ones. Looks amazing. This design is the most successful for the summer season and goes with almost any outfit and event.
You can make a variation of such a pedicure by laying out rhinestones in the shape of a flower or a heart. At the same time, the rhinestones should contrast as much as possible with the shade of the main varnish. So they will be better seen, and therefore, their presence will be justified. If the varnish is monochromatic, then it is better to add a sparkle. In this case, the pebbles should be of different sizes, so amazing accents and overflows of sparkles will appear.
Often do a monophonic pedicure. In this case, you can combine different consistencies of varnish of the same color: matte, with sparkles, glossy, imitating fabrics. If you cover each finger with varnish of the same color, but of a different consistency, it will look unusual. You can take both dark and light varnish. But it is important to consider that for summer it is better to take either light or bright colors, and leave the dark ones for other seasons. After all, summer is bright and fresh! A rhinestone is attached to the nail with glossy varnish.
Rhinestones on the nails of girls with dark swarthy skin in combination with bright neon varnishes will look very good. It’s great if a varnish that glows in the dark is selected. Then all the men in the nightclub will pay attention to you!
The combination of a pedicure with rhinestones and rings on the toes looks beautiful. In addition, you can add an elegant ankle bracelet. It is important not to overdo it and not to wear multiple bracelets and massive rings. Decorations should be, but should look minimalistic, not pretentious. Otherwise, others may consider the girl a redneck who first appeared in the light. In everything you need to observe the measure, especially in the number of rhinestones on the nails. You do not need to glue everything that is in the box at once, you need to make a pattern, think through the idea to the end. Others should not think that the girl has no taste!
How to do at home?
Masters in salons will do a wonderful pedicure, but if a girl wants to dream up herself, then she can make drawings with nail polish on her own at home. The first drawing and laying out with stones can be very simple and unpretentious, but over time real masterpieces can turn out. You can find out the various options and peep the decor in the video tutorials (the most interesting ones are published at the end of the article), some you can come up with on your own.
Combinations of varnishes with different effects and rhinestones look very nice. So, for example, you can cover several fingers with glossy varnish and glue stones on them. For others, take the matte finish and leave them unadorned. In this case, both varnishes must be identical shades.
If suddenly the resulting result does not satisfy, then it can be easily removed. The process is different from removing a pedicure without rhinestones, as decorations require a special approach. It is necessary to soak cotton swabs with a solvent, and then carefully, without unnecessary movements, try to remove the rhinestones. It is important to consider that their plastic versions are often removed along with the adhesive backing, if they have one.Not sure if it can be reused.
It looks very nice when the selected pattern, taking into account the color, is repeated through the finger. In general, the entire pattern should run like a leitmotif through all the nails so that the pedicure looks like a single whole. This needs to be considered before laying stones on the fingers. Perhaps it is worth drawing a pattern on paper, then laying it out next to the workplace, and only after that start working on the fingers, carefully and carefully following the workpiece.
