How to make a simple and stylish dandelion nail polish?

Dandelion manicure is considered one of the trendy designs of the new season. Stylish summer decoration attracts the eyes of those around you, allowing the woman to be the center of attention. Since it is not at all difficult to do a manicure at home today, it is worth considering all the nuances of this design.

The fashion of the new season is convinced that manicure should take into account the time of year. This means that summer colors should also be chosen for the design. For example, a manicure in white, lilac, mint, blue, pink and coral paints will look good on nails. Shades of the pastel group are considered the most successful for this design, since they breathe lightness and create a special summer mood. A manicure with dandelions in yellow, turquoise, blue tones looks great, as well as an option made in beige, nude, green, bronze, lemon, pistachio, milky and orange tones.

Since dandelions are often painted with black and white paint, they are complemented with colored paints of the main background. The basis for decoration can be either monochromatic or gradient. The following combinations are excellent background combinations with an ombre effect:

• coral and peach;
• pink and lilac;
• lilac and blue;
• yellow, pinkish and milky;
• white and blue;
• green and yellow;
• White and black.

The black color of dandelions looks different in each design, because the emotional perception depends on the color contrast, and also the manner of the print is different. When it is made in silhouette technique without much drawing, it looks easier than in the case of accentuation of the smallest details of the plant. By far the best designs are not a shadow, but an almost realistic flower with a white fluffy cap. Although at first glance it seems impossible to draw this, in fact there are many techniques that prove the opposite.

There are many ways to decorate a manicure. For example, various rub-in, kamifubuki, modeling gel and even rhinestones are great for this. However, before complementing a delicate summer drawing, you need to think about how appropriate it is. For example, a scattering of the same rhinestones, instead of a harmonious completion of the composition, will simply break it, drawing attention to itself. Here you need to dose the accents and skillfully select places for them. For example, it can be a dew drop or a seed flying in the wind.

Kamifubuki are also quite moody. But if you choose not shiny, but ordinary colored confetti, they can be used for the seeds of the white dandelion cap. They can also be used to decorate a receptacle or sepal. However, it is impossible to completely decorate the flower cap with them. It is necessary to select such a decor, taking into account the general color schemes. For example, it will look more beautiful not in the tone of the main background, but in bleached gray, shading the umbrella.

Rubs can give accent nails a special multifaceted effect. However, in this case, they also need to be dosed, since with an excess, the manicure will begin to give off a metallic sheen. As for the modeling gel, it is able to add volume to the design. With its help, you can create drawings with a 3D effect, which is considered a fashionable technique for decoration today.

It will give the picture volume and original texture, due to which the design will look voluminous and velvety. When choosing this decoration technique, you need to take into account the thoroughness of drawing with a top or gel, after which they are powdered and dried under a lamp. Dandelion umbrellas with a silver coating can also look beautiful.

Pigmented products today amaze with a variety of assortments. In order not to get confused and choose a really good option, it is worth considering the following rules:

• for a manicure with a design, a varnish with dense pigmentation is needed; they will have to paint their nails twice, but in thin layers so that it does not strip and spread beyond the limits of the nail plate;
• it is better to buy gel polish, because it is distinguished by its purity of tone, is durable to wear, looks expensive;
• well suited for manicure with dandelions matte, glossy coatings; the pattern will not be noticeable on chameleon, magnetic, pearlescent varieties of lacquer pigments;
• for short nails, you should look at the darker coatings, since too light varnishes will visually expand and shorten the nail plates;

• if the nails are long, it is better to choose light and delicate tones for the design, so that the design from light and airy does not become heavy and vulgar;
• you need to select a varnish taking into account the decoration elements - the color should stand out against the background of the picture;
• you can choose a different texture, but it is better that it be matte: such a manicure will look more expensive;
• It is better to choose the color taking into account the existing clothes of the wardrobe, while it is undesirable to match the tone: it is better that the shade of the varnish and the clothes be related.

Today, you can decorate your nails with dandelions based on three decorating techniques. It is worth considering the nuances of each technique in order to know what the essence of the work is.

The first technique involves the execution of dandelions with a thin brush.Outwardly, it looks like a needle, but the pressure of the tool should be light and confident, because this will change the width of the lines. In fact, drawing dandelions is not difficult. If you wish, you can buy a tool in the form of a pen, otherwise the technique is unchanged: the drawing is created using acrylic paints, and sometimes using a modeling gel.

This technique is unique in that it allows you to create a professional design in a short time. It is best to work with water sliders, which need to be dipped in water to separate the paper backing. They are distinguished not only by their simplicity in work, but also by the expressiveness of the drawing. After the sticker is dried and covered with a layer of topcoat, the manicure will look professional and beautiful.

This method of creating a pattern is nothing more than stamping out ready-made patterns. They are translated from metal plates with different engraved prints. An inconvenience is the need to adjust the pattern. Stamps are convenient in that the drawing is accurate, beautiful and clear, and this process takes very little time. If desired, stamping can be supplemented with acrylic paints.

In order to have an idea of ​​what makes up the implementation of a design with dandelions, it is worth briefly outlining the main methods of work, taking as a basis the design of a classic type of manicure. In general, the step-by-step technique will consist of preliminary preparation of nails and their further decoration. The easiest way to create patterns is on plain nails painted with the chosen pigment.

Before proceeding with a decorative manicure, perform a medical, which includes the following steps:

• hands are soaked for 10-15 minutes in warm water;
• after the time has passed, the hands are wiped dry, lubricated with special oil, rubbing it into the places around the nail plates;
• shape nails;
• pterygium is removed with the help of manicure tools;
• the cuticle is lifted, slightly pulled with a finger and cut off;
• the nail plates are sanded with a buff, removing the gloss;
• sawdust is removed, its residues after grinding, like oil, are degreased.

After preparing the nails, they begin decorative manicure. There are nuances here that you need to know when working with gel polish. You cannot do without a special drying device, as well as base and top coats. These are varnish products, without which no modern manicure is possible. The base is needed to enhance the tenacity of the pigment, and the topcoat will extend the wear period of the manicure.

For example, they can be corrected before drying, but after drying it will be problematic. The products will have to be applied in thin layers, drying each separately after application. You will have to paint on the dried pigment, and you need to try to keep a little paint on the brush. Do not apply a lot of pigment, as this will significantly reduce the life of the coating.

After the base, top, pigment, contrasting varnish, as well as painting tools are prepared, they begin to stain the nails. This process includes the following steps:

• the nail plates are covered with a thin layer of base and dried in a lamp;
• the first layer of a monochromatic coating is applied to the base and dried;
• cover the unpainted areas with a second layer and dry the coating again;
• the nail is decorated with a pattern (sticker, stamping);
• a top layer is applied on top of the drawing and dried.

Now it is worth considering how a pattern is created on painted nails. When there is no experience, it is better to choose a sketch in advance and try to draw it so that it fits on the nail plate. A drawing in the size of the nail will be useful.It will be much easier to draw using the already tested technology. Let's say it will be nails with umbrellas flying in the wind. They take white paint and a thin brush, draw a semblance of a snowflake with thin lines, draw the line of the leg. They take black paint and tint the white leg with black: the flying umbrellas are ready.

To draw a fluffy dandelion, put a point in the right place, and then draw a ball according to the principle of a snowflake. Then small corollas are created at the ends of the lines. You can fill in the middle with simple lines or another row of umbrellas. A receptacle is created with black paint just below the middle of the resulting ball. Then paint on the peduncle and leaves. If you plan to use gel instead of umbrellas, do not draw corollas at the ends (fluffy snowflakes are enough).

Consider a few examples of dandelion nails for inspiration.

• A gentle solution against the background of a jacket using a transparent modeling gel.
• Summer manicure with gel and laconic pattern.
• Marshmallow design with glitter and sticker.

• Delicate lilac manicure with soaring umbrellas.
• Composition with a girl in coral color using a silhouette drawing.
