Drawings on extended nails: creation and design options

A boring monochromatic manicure is practically not used anymore. Everyone seeks to stand out by painting a small ornament or a whole picture on their nails. And on extended nails, in general, you can give free rein to imagination, the main thing is that the master can reproduce the idea.

All drawings on extended nails can be divided into two groups.

• Smooth. The drawing is performed in the plane of the nail plate, it is not felt tactilely.
• Voluminous. The design rises above the marigold, it is voluminous, does not overlap with the top coating.

They can also be divided into geometric ornaments, landscapes, portraits, still lifes, inscriptions and other images.

Drawing on extended nails can be applied in several ways.

There is a huge selection of different nail art stickers on the market. Here you can select both miniature sketches and drawings that completely cover the entire nail. Even a beginner can handle this design.

In order to transfer the sticker to the nail, it is necessary to remove the sticky layer from the coating and place the sticker. Press the paper to the nail with a damp cloth; after the surface is wet, remove the top layer. Allow to dry. At the end, cover the drawing with a top layer so that it adheres to the entire length of the manicure's wear.

If you don't know how to draw, then stencils can help you. They come in various forms, but mostly allow you to make geometric patterns.

In order to apply an ornament on extended nails using a stencil, you need to cut it in the shape of your marigold and stick it on the coating without stickiness.

Then take colored shellac and cover the nail plate.Now the stencil can be removed, and the drawing will remain on the nails. Top cover the design with a finish.

Here you will need a small container of water at room temperature, a toothpick and several colored nail polishes.

• Nails must be painted in the basic tone with gel polish, dried in a lamp and removed from the stickiness. Cover leather with Skin Defender.
• We drip one drop of varnish into the water of the colors in which the staining will be done.
• Using a wand or a needle, we create stains on the water in the form of flowers, butterflies, stars, or just a fantasy ornament.
• We lower the prepared marigold into the water parallel to the surface of the liquid. We keep it in water, removing a layer of varnish around the water.
• We take out the finger, carefully separate the resulting pattern on the nail from the film on the skin around it, remove the Skin Defender.
• Let the coating dry for 10 minutes.
• We cover the drawing with the top with a top, not forgetting to seal the free edge.

This is the transfer of a drawing from an engraving to a marigold using a stamp.

Here you will also need Skin Defender, special discs, a stamp, a scraper, stamping varnishes or regular nail polishes with good pigmentation.

• First, we also prepare the nail: cover it with the desired color, dry it, remove the sticky layer.
• We put a drop of varnish on the disc, quickly swipe it over it, filling in the desired pattern.
• First we put the stamp on the drawing, then we transfer it to the nail with a rolling motion. It is necessary to carry out all the manipulations quickly enough so that the varnish on the disc does not dry out.
• After that, remove the protective coating from the skin, let the drawing dry well.
• Cover with a finishing layer, sealing the free edge of the nail.

One of the most difficult options. The drawing is created on extended nails using brushes.

There are two methods of application here: draw during the extension procedure itself, using colored gels, or draw on prepared nails of the required length. But in fact, the drawing process itself is practically the same.

The technique of drawing an ornament here will practically not differ from the creation of paintings. With the help of brushes, strokes of different lengths, small works of art are created on extended nails.
