Step by step
The most important thing is to remove the old nailcoating and treat the cuticle, without this you cannot start applying the manicure. That is, we do a full manicure, using scissors, a file and a degreasing agent (for example, acetone). And now we do the following:
- We apply the first layer of lacquer, it must be a white matte color. This will be the basis of the entire manicure, it is in this color that it will be vivid and exemplary;
- A small glass (you can take a pile)fill with water to the brim - water should be cold and clean. Take into account that this capacity will be constant - take one that is not a pity, because it will be stained with varnish;
- Now we are preparing varicolored varnishes - just open each bottle so that, as they say, everything was at hand;
- Now we do the following: lubricate the skin around the nail with a fat cream (any, you can for the face, the main thing is that it is very fat). This is done in order to avoid hitting the varnish on the skin;
- So, take the first varnish and dab in a vial. Then bring the brush to the water (as close as possible) and drip exactly one drop in the middle of the container. It will immediately begin to blur;
- Then we take the next color and do the same. The drop should fall on the previous color - right in the middle of the color spot;
- You should make such approaches 10-15 times, that is, you haveyou should get a multi-layered structure of spots on the water. By the way, by the end of the procedure the spots will stop spreading like lightning and will be fixed in place. You should stop here - this will be enough;
- We take a toothpick (as an option - a needle) and sharpthe tip carefully stir the lacquer in the water - as if making swirls and spirals, zigzags and just strokes. It will be an abstraction. In general, here you can improvise - someone like it;
- Now bend the finger so that the nail is parallel to the surface of the water, and quickly lower the nail plate into the resulting mixture of lacquer and water. And in the water you can flatten your finger;
- Without pulling out your finger, with a toothpick, simply remove the varnish from the water - it's like a film reaching for a sharp tip. To remove varnish it is necessary from different directions - here it is necessary to be adapted, but at you all will turn out;
- Remove the finger from the water and wipe the cream around the nail with a normal napkin;
- Allow the coating to dry completely and then apply a fixing layer of clear lacquer.
