Geometry on the nail gel polish
The hands of a woman are her second face, so it is extremely important to closely monitor the condition of your manicure. Now there are many different hand care products. One of the most fashionable types is the geometric design of nails.
Geometric Nail Art
Geometric nail art, or as it is called, the geometry of nails is a technique of applying geometric shapes to nails. You can draw figures on the nails on a whim, armed only with your imagination, and you can use special tools for this purpose.
This original nail decoration will not go unnoticed by others.
Drawing methods
You can draw shapes on nails manually using a brush. The image of simple patterns created by a thin brush. Also, instead of a brush, you can use a toothpick. This method of applying a geometric pattern requires some skills from the performer.
If you decide that you will do the geometric manicure yourself, then you need to buy a good UV lamp and a thin brush with a long nap.
It is important to have a “firm hand” and confidence, and it is acquired with practice. So try and improve your skills. From time to time it will get better and better.
In order to create such a pattern, we need varnishes in different colors and a colorless fixative. First, the nails are covered in one tone. After that, various shapes are applied on top of it. You can restrict the withdrawal of only the contour, and you can paint them.
When the drawing is fully applied, the nail should be covered with a fixative.
How to make a geometric nail-up: look in this video.
Stripes
This is the easiest type of drawing on the nails. It is performed as follows. Nails are covered with a light varnish. Having waited for its full drying, strips are pasted on a nail. Next, apply a different color varnish. After removing the strips. If you want to put other shapes on your nails, then you will need to do this manipulation again.
When the drawing is applied, the nails are covered with a fixer.
Scotch
This is a more convenient and faster way to create a geometric pattern. To do this, you need to cut out some geometric shapes, varnish your nails, dry them, then paste the paper figures over and apply varnish of a different color. After the varnish dries in the lamp, they should be removed. As a result, we get undyed areas on the nails in the form of various shapes.
Dots
Dots - a brush made of metal with a tip in the form of a ball. It is used to draw on the nails circles and points. The method of application of this brush is very simple: we dip it in a jar with varnish, then press the tip to the nail.
This technique is now very popular.
Decorative items
As a rule, these are strips that are silver and gold in color and have a sticky base. To create a geometric image on the nails, apply gel polish, dry it under the lamp, glue the strips (for example, diagonally), apply varnish of a different color to the formed segments. Further strips can be removed or left, cutting the ends. The final stage is to apply a fixative to the nail plate.
Stencil or stamp
Here the main tool is a stencil, on which various geometric designs have already been applied. It should be varnished and pressed to the nail plate with a kind of stamp. This method allows you to create a complex design on the nails in a couple of minutes.
Stepwise Algorithm
Stage 1:
Basic manicure - hygienic treatment of hands, polishing and degreasing nail plates.
Stage 2:
We cover the nail with a special tool - the foundation for gel polish. After we polymerize under a special lamp for about a minute.
Stage 3:
Cover the nail plate with colored gel polish and carefully seal the open edge of the nail. After applying the next layer, the polymerization procedure is followed for at least 2 minutes.
If you want the color of the varnish to become more saturated, then you need to repeat all the manipulations again.
Stage 4:
We turn to drawing geometric shapes. In those areas of the nail plate, where the drawings are connected, draw lines with black lacquer. We get a trendy look.
Stage 5:
The completed drawing is covered with a fixer and polymerized under the lamp for 3 minutes.
Manicure in a geometric style is made.
Fashion tips
Last year on European podiums among the Gothic dark, scarlet, metal and nude manicures flaunts geometric neyl-art.
The most popular trends in this art are french and its derivatives, "lunar" and "marble" neyl-art, as well as the style of "negative space". But the leader among them for the last two years is geometric nail art.
Clear geometric forms together lyrical floral motifs are used by designers for their fashion shows.
Despite the fact that most branded designers prefer fashionable stripes, you can safely depict various geometric shapes on your nails: dots, straight and broken lines, diamonds, circles, triangles and others.
Last year, experts in the field of nail art have developed several interesting solutions, combining geometry with other popular manicure styles, such as the "moon" technique, "negative space," matte and sandy relief. Now fashion is coordinated not by "naphthalene" patterns and detached images, but by fantasy and courage of ideas.
Fashionable inventions of designers embodied on the runways are not always suitable for performance in everyday life. Fortunately, geometric nail art is an exception to this rule. The main thing in this business is not to overload your manicure with all known geometric shapes, otherwise the design will look tasteless and old-fashioned. Therefore, when choosing a picture, follow the principle of “one shape,” that is, do not interfere with circles with triangles and squares.
A popular trend this year is a domino manicure. It can be performed in a beauty salon or independently. For this you need:
- cover the nail plate with white varnishpreferably matte;
- paint black dots a few dotsto make it look like dominoes;
- apply a fixative.
Spectacular drawing is ready.
Design "Snowflake" - another original form of geometric pattern. It is important that the snowflakes were the same on each nail.
Is very popular technology "Abstraction". It is considered the most difficult to perform. In order to depict the pattern, you need a bright lacquer to put on the surface of the nail plate the basis for drawing. Over draw points of different sizes and connect them together. In the end cover the nail fixer.
Technique "Geometric Mess". Here, the basic technique is to draw geometric shapes on top of each other. You can combine different shapes or the same, but different sizes. In general, give free rein to the fantasy.
Technique "Ethnic drawings". Use any shapes that resemble an ornament on folk costumes.
Technique "Mosaic". To perform a manicure in this style, you need to cover the nail plate with a monochromatic varnish, draw arbitrary “zones” on it and paint them in a contrasting color.
Technique "Chess". Spectacular and uncomplicated nail art design. Initially, the nail is covered with white. Then vertical and horizontal stripes are drawn with black lacquer, and the cradles are painted over in a “checkerboard pattern”. For this technique, you can use other color combinations.
For drawing geometric shapes, use high-density varnishes, so that there is no need to apply several layers and thereby distort the overall appearance of the manicure. It is better to use contrasting shades of gel polishes, because "related" colors will not give the desired effect.
If your brush for drawing shapes is too wide, you can cut it to the size you want.
If you have chosen a too complex design consisting of many different forms for your nail art, then we advise you to cover with a pattern not all the nails on your hand. Too frilly drawing can visually "make heavier" a manicure.
If you first decide to apply geometric patterns yourself, then you should first practice on paper. The main thing is to be attentive and give free rein to your imagination.
