Design options and ways to create a broth manicure

A modern, complete feminine look is not complete without a manicure, both everyday and solemn. Fashion trends and the emergence of new techniques and materials for creating nail art make it possible to complement your image with new ideas. A rather fresh, but already gaining popularity, design technique is the use of broths for decoration, thanks to which many creative ideas for decorating nails can be realized.

Trends in the technology of creating modern manicure amaze with their innovations, due to which even those who try to keep pace with the novelties of nail art fail to track the emergence of new trends. Of course, only a professional and harmonious design will be able to complement the look and combine with a casual or festive look. Therefore, such a technique as the use of broths in the decor is becoming in demand quite rapidly, because the materials used can emphasize femininity and tenderness, give nail art a festive touch, or decorate a woman's everyday and business style.

The name itself translates as "beads", which allows you to determine the technique and direction of this fashion trend in manicure.

A feature of decorating with broths is the ability to use them not only in the salon, but also at home, the main thing is to precisely determine the choice of decor options and practice a little.

In comparison with the existing techniques, such a manicure will become the highlight of the whole image, since the material allows you to create an incredible 3D effect on the nails. At the same time, as practice shows, working with granules is a very simple technique.

When applying broths to ordinary varnish, it should be borne in mind that such a voluminous decor will be short-lived. As a rule, the balls will last on the nails for about 3-4 days, after which the material will gradually begin to discolor, especially the edge of the nail suffers. But there are a lot of options for creating drawings or decorations using broths, so you can fix them in the middle or at the beginning of the nail plate, which will prolong their operation.

To obtain a more durable composition, it is best to work with gel polishes, thanks to which the granules, both small and large, will be reliably attached to the base for three or more weeks.

Another feature of broths is their versatility, so the material can be combined with other nail art techniques, but, as practice shows, the balls look the most effectively on short nails, which are relevant in the light of modern fashion trends.

When choosing material for work, it is very important to take into account not only personal taste preferences, but also to clearly plan the future composition, therefore professionals recommend adhering to the following rules when choosing:

• if you have to work with short nails, the design should be done with the smallest granules that resemble multi-colored and voluminous sand;
• if the nails are long and the nail plate is large, then for the design it is preferable to dwell on broths, the diameter of which will vary within 2-4 mm.

The advantages of the material include the following characteristics:

• the working material has a quite acceptable cost, thanks to which broths are available for most professional craftsmen and lovers of fashionable manicure trends;
• granules are presented in a large assortment of colors and sizes, which makes it possible to guarantee the selection of the appropriate option for each type of nail art and nail length;
• balls are very easy to use, so there is no need for special training courses before starting to work with broths;
• granules can be glued to any base, be it ordinary acetone varnishes, gel varnishes or extended nail plates.

However, despite the many positive qualities, the material is not devoid of some disadvantages:

• despite the simple application technology, for decorating with broths, you will need to purchase some tools, which is another expense item;
• when working with ordinary varnishes, the time required for the complete drying of the base will take much more;
• if we neglect the use of a coating on top of the granules, then during wearing such a manicure can cause some discomfort, for example, leave holds on tights or cling to hair.

However, skill and a professional approach to the use of broths will be able to minimize the existing drawbacks, which will allow the fair sex to enjoy the attractiveness and originality of the design.

Like any other nail art technique, bouillon designs involve some classification. The division looks like this.

• With the help of balls, you can create a uniform design for all nails. The color of the material for the work is matched to the base, and in some cases - to the accessories and the image.
• With the help of broths, chaotic or successive scattering of granules are recreated on the nail plate.This technique may involve using a material of the same color or mixing several colors. Additional tools are required to create straight lines. Most often, masters resort to using dots.

• A manicure involving the use of balls on only one finger of the hand.

• Nail art with granules in the style of French manicure. To recreate the "smile" on the plate, different colors of the balls are used.

• Application of an ornament or pattern to nails. This option will require careful selection of the pattern and time for work.
• A moon manicure can also be done using broths. The technology for working with the material in this case is similar to the creation of a French manicure. Two contrasting colors are used for the design.

• Stretching with granules - this technique requires balls of different diameters to be applied to the nail, the size of which gradually decreases towards the root or, conversely, towards the edge.
• Combining broths with other materials for nail art, for example, when creating a sculpture or a regular pattern, highlighting any accent in it with a ball.

In addition, the classification of the decorative element comes from the size of the balls:

• the smallest specimens are sand broths;
• small granules;
• medium balls;
• large broths shaped like a sphere.

Before you start designing nails with broths, you need to purchase the necessary materials and tools.

The granules themselves are sold in the form of ready-made sets containing a different number of balls of various colors and sizes. It will not be difficult to choose the option of interest for a manicure.

For regular varnish, you should purchase a special fixer. In addition, decorating nails with different colors will require multiple varnishes. It is important to select broths together with the base so that all components are in harmony with each other as much as possible, forming a single image.

To work with balls, it is best to buy a fan brush, which you will need to remove excess material from the nail plate during work. To create whole compositions and shapes, use an orange stick to position the balls. Also, an important working element will be the container where the broths will be located. It is important to choose a bowl with high edges so that excess material does not spill over the table and other surfaces.

Step-by-step technology for working with broths.

• The first step is to remove the cuticle and shape the nail plate. Then a base layer is applied to it. It is important to wait until it is completely dry.
• The next step is to apply nail polish. It is best to apply two layers of the substance so that the color is as uniform and saturated as possible.

• After painting with the second layer, immediately cover the nail with granules and secure them tightly by pressing on the base. Excess material should be removed with a fan brush, holding your hands over the bowl of broth. You can make adjustments to the created design with a stick or a toothpick. Special attention should be paid to the edges of the nail.
• The final step is to apply a topcoat to help attach the balls more firmly to the base and make them more comfortable later on.

To work with broths when using gel varnishes and gel paints, you should follow all the standard technology for working with materials, and after applying the second layer, design with granules, apply a fixer and dry in a lamp.

Despite the bulk and spectacularity of the manicure created with the help of broths, you can make such nail art and successfully combine it not only with a festive wardrobe, but also with an everyday look.In the latter case, you can use color schemes of calmer pastel shades, and for design, opt for sand broths. In addition, a manicure, where only one finger is highlighted with balls, will be in harmony with any strict or romantic image in daylight. This option allows the use of more contrasting tones for staining the nail plate, and a neatly placed emphasis on one finger will only emphasize the sophistication and grooming of the hands.

French manicure with additional decor from broths will be appropriate at a gala event or for every day. You can combine the balls with a classic white and beige jacket, moon coating or black and white. The use of small balls will be an additional decoration, which will be a definite plus for any occasion.

Sand from granules goes well with rhinestones and modeling, so broths can be safely used when creating a flower or other composition on nails.

A rather relevant technique - a gradient, will become even more beautiful if you use volumetric sparkling balls as a border. Such a transition can be made in a tone of amber or in a contrasting color. This option will be most suitable for a festive party.

Broths are often combined with metal ribbons, stones and beads. Such nail art has a more solemn purpose, due to which it can be used at corporate events or for going to a nightclub.

The combination of several nail art techniques will be a real hit for a festive manicure design. A romantic red and white composition with hearts, complemented by rhinestones will be especially relevant. This option will not go unnoticed, and will also decorate the created image and style.

Classics have always been and will be relevant. This also applies to the most popular nail design option - French manicure. Such a feminine composition can be emphasized and highlighted with sparkling broths, choosing a win-win black and white combination as the base colors. It will be enough to focus on one nail to transform a beautiful jacket into a luxurious work of art.

Summer manicure is always full of rich colors. This theme can be emphasized and supplemented with a composition of multi-colored broths, which will become an incredibly effective decoration for a fresh and bright manicure, perfect for any style and setting.
