And if you can hardly cut your hair yourself, then doing a fashionable and unusual manicure at home is quite possible! Did you guess that old and, in your opinion, completely unnecessary things can be useful for creating a stylish and beautiful image? Yes, do not be surprised - this is really so. And such ordinary items as a dish sponge or scotch tape will help you transform your hands beyond recognition. Let's take a closer look at home nail design and try to create something unforgettable.

Manicure with a sponge

The secret of this technique is very simple - the texture of the sponge leaves an abstract pattern on the nail. Which will be the main criterion of unusualness in our manicure. So, what you will need:

• Varnish of any color. Better, of course, light, because it will be easier for him to choose a shade for the pattern;
• Sponge and acrylic paints;
• A notebook and a glass of water;
• Fixing varnish.

Let's start creating:

• Prepare the marigold: remove the old varnish, remove the cuticle, shape it;
• Now take the main lacquer and paint the nails all over the surface;
• We wait, while will dry up. On a sheet of paper we squeeze out a little paint, suitable for the basic tone. Now wet the sponge in the water and dunk it in the paint. Before applying the pattern, remove excess ink from the sponge, printing it on paper;
• Further all is simple. Lean the sponge to the nail where you want to get the drawing;
• After treating all the nails, cover them with a fixing varnish.

Manicure with scotch tape

For this type of manicure you will need: tape (preferably colored), fixative and two shades of polish that match each other.

• Cover the nails with the main color, wait until the varnish is completely dry. Do not hurry, otherwise the drawing may be smeared;
• Take the scotch and carefully cut out the figures from it. If you are the first time doing a manicure on this technology, it is best to use triangles. With them, it is easiest to work for beginners;
• Glue the figures on each nail;
• Now take the second varnish and cover the areas around the tape. Don't worry if it's not quite right - the tape will come off anyway;
• Wait for complete drying and tear off the adhesive tape. If the figures do not have clear contours, you can circle them with contrasting color or sprinkle with sequins;
• At the end, cover the manicure with a fixer.

After practicing on simple drawings, you canmove on to a more complex design. Try combining several figures of different sizes and shapes. Don't be afraid to use decorations such as rhinestones, glitter, small stones. For example, you can glue rhinestones around each drawing along the perimeter. You will get a voluminous manicure.

Drawing on the nails with a needle

Using a regular needle you can draw ona whole work of art on your nails. In order to master the technique, you will need a set of sewing needles and varnishes of different colors. Why a set? A thin needle is good for drawing graceful lines, but a thicker tool will help you accurately put dots or draw three-dimensional figures. Before you start drawing, make sure that your nails are ready for a manicure. Remove the old coating and process each nail with a special fine-grained file. This will make the drawing lay more evenly. Choose liquid varnishes. You should not use old and thickened varnish, it will be difficult to stretch it over the nail, as a result of which you will get a completely different pattern than you expected.

• We cover the nails with a base, then we apply the main color. We are waiting for complete drying;
• Now we take a varnish for drawing and we put some droplets in different corners of a nail;
• We take a thin needle and begin to draw, stretching droplets of varnish. The pattern can be any - at your discretion. It's easiest to depict feathers, twigs, curls, or abstractions;
• If the pattern assumes several shades of varnish, we repeat the procedure. For example, you decided to paint a flower. So, draw green curls or leaves around the red bud;
• A thicker needle can put a point of contrasting color on one of the nails, as if highlighting it;
• And in the end we fix the manicure with a fixing coating, so it will last for at least a week on your nails.

Velvet manicure

To create a velvet nail design, youyou need to buy a special dry powder. It is called the velour effect for nails. It is sold in specialized stores. You will also need a base coat, a main varnish and a fixer.

• We put the base, let's dry completely;
• The main color is applied in two layers;
• While the second layer of varnish is not dry, sprinkle it with powder. Evenly distribute, squeezing your finger. The color of the powder must match the color of the main coating;
• Let the nails dry completely, then take a clean makeup brush and remove the powder residue;
• We cover manicure with fixing varnish.

The velvet design looks very impressive. Of course, it is not suitable for everyday life in the office, but at a party with such a manicure you will definitely be irresistible.

Lacquer Craquelure

With its help, you can imitate various structures on your nails, the main thing is to choose the right color. Let's try to do a black and white manicure. For this, you will need white matte varnish and black craquelure.

• Degrease the nails with a means for removing varnish and apply a basic coating;
• When the base dries, cover the nails with white lacquer, wait for the drying;
• Now take the black craquelure and apply it on the entire surface of the nail. The components of the varnish will react with the air, which will immediately cause cracks;
• We apply varnish with quick and light strokes, as it dries very quickly;
• We fix the manicure.
