We do manicure at home
Manicure "Sneakers" First make a double base.To do this, take black varnish, preferably matte. The next step is to apply white paint to the tip, as in a French manicure. Put six identical gray blots (three on the right and left sides of the nail). When they dry, draw a white stripe, connecting the first two dots. Then draw light lines from the upper droplets. They should connect the first marks with the second (naturally, located on the opposite side). You get a kind of X-shaped lacing, like on sneakers. Now put another droplet in the middle of each gray circle. The final touch is a semicircular black line on a white base. After two or three minutes, apply transparent varnish to fix the result. Please note that the "Sneakers" manicure can be painted either on all nails or on one, doing a regular French manicure on the rest. Manicure with petals Applique from chamomile petals is an excellent example of how to make a beautiful manicure at home without using expensive materials. So, you will need nail polishes (flesh-colored, silver or gold, bright - red or orange), manicure scissors with a sharp end, dried flowers, transparent fixer and tweezers. We make a base with beige, then apply orange to the tip, as if you are doing a slanted French manicure. Note that the right side starts a little higher, the left - a little lower. When everything dries, paint a thin line with clear varnish under the drawn strip - this is where the petal will be located. Immediately carefully press the dried flower to the nail with tweezers. Then cut off the part of the flower that did not fit. Draw along the contour of the pasted applique with gold or silver paint. At the end, cover everything with a clear fixer.
Manicure with a straw This is another onean unusual manicure that is easy to do and has an original idea. You can do it with a regular cocktail straw. To do this, you will need varnishes (white, yellow and pink tones work best), transparent tape or film, plastic or earthenware plates, and scissors. So, as in the previous case, first make the base (light). Wrap your fingers under the nail with tape so as not to get your hands dirty. Cut the tube in the middle to make it easier to draw. Pour a small amount of yellow paint into the container and dip the tip of the tube into it. Then blow the contents onto the base, resulting in blots of various shapes and sizes. Do the same with a different color of varnish. As soon as the manicure dries a little, apply transparent varnish and remove the tape. If paint accidentally gets on your skin, gently wipe it off with a cotton swab. By the way, you can use more colors if you want. However, first make sure that such an abundance will not look oversaturated. Stylish manicure on short nails Even if you have short nails, this is not a reason to go without a manicure. The only nuance that you should remember when sitting down to work is that in this case you should avoid large patterns and many bright colors. It is best to make a drawing in rich dark tones. The first step is to paint your nails black. If the consistency is too liquid or spots are visible, make two or three layers. Apply blue pearl paint with glitter on top. Pour a small amount of gray varnish onto a sheet of paper, dip a pen into it and start dotting a flower, then stems and leaves. Even if you do not have artistic talent, the picture will still turn out funny. Hieroglyphs, numbers, etc. will look incredibly impressive against such a background. Beaded manicure Unfortunately, you are unlikely to be able to wear such beauty for more than a day. But having done such a manicure for a holiday, you will definitely not go unnoticed. For a 3-D image, you will need varnish, small shavings or balls, and a brush. All this can be purchased inexpensively in specialized stores. After you apply the base, immediately pour beads on your nails so that they have time to stick. Carefully remove the excess with a fluffy brush. Use a wooden spatula with a sharp tapered tip to draw along the contour of the nail so that the elements do not remain on the skin. Otherwise, the manicure will look unfinished, as if it was done in a hurry. As soon as everything dries (in 5-10 minutes), apply a couple of layers of transparent varnish on top.
Universal manicure With ultra-fashionable manicure,made in soft pastel colors, you can go to work, where there is a strict dress code, and to a restaurant. It will look appropriate in any case. At the same time, you will have to spend no more than 10-15 minutes to create such beauty. The base is flesh or light brown. Apply white paint on top and carefully draw cracks, scratches, and irregularities with a toothpick. Do not worry if there are streaks, as they will not be visible in the end. You can also use a special varnish that cracks on its own. Manicure "Night Sky" Make two layers of dark blue varnish, the third layer is transparent with petals, stars or flowers. On top, two or three millimeters from the tip of the nail, apply small rhinestones. This manicure option is perfect for those who do not have the time and desire to draw pictures with a needle, brush or pen. Summer manicure Red paint is applied in strokes over the white base. Direction - from the tip and base to the middle. At the same time, they should not intersect or shift. In the very center, draw a straight pink line and smear it with a brush. As a result, you should get an image, as if you drew strokes with a felt-tip pen on a glossy surface. As soon as the paint dries, apply two layers of colorless varnish and wait five minutes. When finished, wipe your nails with a cotton pad soaked in vodka or alcohol diluted in water. Floral abstraction Paint your nails in two layers of rich red. Do not forget to take a two-minute break between each application so that the manicure is uniform and does not smear. On the right side, put three thick white dots, from each draw three curved lines. As a result, a beautiful bud should turn out from the blot. Round abstraction For the base, take black or dark gray matte varnish. Put a burgundy blot on top and smear it, making a thick circle. The easiest way to work is with a special pen with a round iron tip, which can be purchased at a store. Use a match as a handy tool. Do the same with purple, pink and white paint. The placement can be completely asymmetrical. As soon as the varnish dries, put small colored blots inside the circle.

Therefore, when stocking up on paints, you should follow four golden rules.
- When buying everything at a discount, make sure that the varnish does not haveexpiration date. Usually the price is dropped when the products are urgently needed. The spoiled paint falls unevenly, quickly crackles and snaps.
- Take only a hermetically-packed lacquer. The damage on the lid or the box is indicative of the marriage. If the cap is easily removed, and the remains are visible on the outer surface, it means that the paint has already been used.
- The brush should be dense, even. Saw the protruding hairs? Immediately discard the varnish. Over time, the brush just collapses.
- Before buying, use the tester. Thanks to this you will be able to learn about the products all: what color will be the paint after applying to the nail, whether the shade changes.
