Features and benefits
The dreamcatcher is a circle of wicker with woven threads inside. This symbol has spread from the indigenous peoples of America - the Indians. It is believed that such a talisman skips good dreams, and bad ones get entangled in a web of threads.
To date, the dream catcher bears no sacred meaning, which was given to him in antiquity. However, if you put a picture on your nails and include a placebo effect, then this symbol will contribute to the successful advancement of life, it will make the person more confident.
On the nails depict a circle with threads and other decorations or only individual parts of it. Manicure looks non-standard - thanks to this you can get a wonderful aesthetic effect.
Required materials and tools
To create such a design at home is quite simple. To this end, you should prepare:
- protective coatings - base and top;
- varnishes of several colors;
- brush of the required thickness;
- acrylic paints;
- Dots (a thin wand with a ball at the end — it is easy to draw neat dots with it, connecting them into garlands or laces).
If you wish, you can prepare beads, rhinestones or sparkles in advance - they will decorate the manicure, give it brightness.
Stages of implementation
Creating a nail design, first prepare the hands. The nails are given a suitable shape and length, the cuticle is removed, the side rollers are carefully processed. Then the master polishes the nail plate and apply a degreasing agent. After that they:
- cover the nails with a base coat - to strengthen and prevent pigmentation due to the absorption of varnish;
- impose the selected varnish;
- On the dried varnish put the desired pattern.
The image is created using a thin brush, dots and acrylic paints. Too much paint on a brush should not be taken - the brush strokes will turn out to be sloppy and uneven. First, a circle or semicircle is usually drawn, and then a web. It may look like a simple mesh or a beautiful intricate pattern - it all depends on the imagination. It is not necessary to draw a dream catcher yourself. It is enough to get a stencil.
If there is a desire to make an unusual and effective nail art, then sparkles are added, feathers or geometric figures are depicted. When the lacquer and pattern dry, they are applied a dense layer of top coat. It will protect the paint from cracking and prolong the "life" of the manicure.
