Mosaic manicure: ideas and design options

Mosaic decor in manicure is considered not only the most popular, relevant, but also represents an original way of decorating marigolds. Nail art with mosaics looks great in a casual and evening look. Its design depends on the length of the nails, the colors used and the application technique.

"Mosaic" manicure is an original design, thanks to which girls manage to emphasize their individuality and beauty in a special way. It looks like a single composition made up of separate multi-colored particles, which are most often used as stones, pieces of glass or foil. Using a special technique, such a nail art turns out to be unusual and stylish. Mosaic manicure has several features.

• Decor elements must be placed next to each other, avoiding large distances. Thin lines are drawn between these details, they allow you to achieve the maximum mosaic effect.

• Small particles in a design can take on different shapes. Most often, square and triangular fragments are used in stylistics, but there are also particles in the form of ovals and spots.
• For the base of the manicure, you need to select bright and juicy shades. Their outline is outlined in one color using a thin brush or liner.

It is worth noting that this decor looks good on long nail plates, which are decorated with a classic jacket. In this case, you can decorate with a mosaic as part of the marigold, as well as its entire surface.The main advantage of a mosaic pattern is that it can be easily created on nails, so any girl who wants can handle the creative process.

To avoid the stickiness effect in manicure, it is recommended to decorate only one or two fingers. In order to make a mosaic using casting, you must have a special material: sapphires, polymer, malachite and emerald. You can add extra shine to your nail art with rhinestones, sequins and stickers. For girls who visit an office, school or university, it is advisable to do a manicure in soft shades, this will emphasize its formality and severity. Interesting compositions for a casual look can be done with the help of dots or stamping.

Regardless of what design and color scheme is planned to be used in the "mosaic" manicure, it must begin with the traditional preparation and processing of marigolds. Since this decor is too "capricious", the handles must necessarily have a well-groomed and impeccable look, which will make them even more beautiful.

After the nail plate has acquired the desired length and shape, and the cuticle has been processed, you can proceed to the most important stage - creating a picture. The process is carried out in several stages.

• First of all, the surface of the nail plate is degreased with a special agent, then it is opened with a colorless base and dried in a UV lamp.
• Then a base in the form of a colored varnish is applied in a thin layer. As a rule, craftsmen choose a light base for the "mosaic". You can also use varnishes and contrasting shades, but there is a possibility that they will show through and the composition will turn out to be blurry. During painting, it is important to ensure that the varnish does not get on the cuticle area and skin.
• Then, with the help of acrylic paints or multi-colored varnish, they begin to apply abstraction from the side of the free edge of the marigold. The pattern should appear as colored spots of different sizes and shapes. The combination and number of shades depends on the image and fantasy of the girl, the main thing is that the "mosaic" looks harmonious. It is necessary to leave small gaps between the background spots, which will later be filled with the outline.

• At the end, the surface of the nails is dried and each detail of the pattern is outlined along the contour with a thin brush, needle or toothpick. The color and thickness of the outline layer can vary. Most often stylists choose black for eyeliner, but any other contrasting shade will work well.
• When the ornament is applied to all marigolds, it is fixed with a topcoat and re-dried in a lamp.
