Learning to draw on nails varnish
To draw on the nails easily, as professionals, it takes not only skill, but the availability of all the necessary materials at hand. To create the simplest pattern, we need:
- varnish - 3 pcs. (basic, contrast and transparent);
- a toothpick (needle) or a brush;
- Nails - overhead, for self-confident - their own.
Having prepared everything you need, we start to work. We clean the nail and apply a base lacquer on it. If a needle (toothpick) was chosen for work, we immediately begin to draw a pattern, since you can only draw a needle on liquid lacquer with a needle. A brush can be drawn on both liquid and dried lacquer. To obtain accurate lines, wait until the substrate dries. If it is necessary, that paints are mixed, then we draw by brush on a liquid varnish. The thickness of needles, toothpicks and brushes is selected depending on the pattern. For example, thin brushes are needed for contours, but wide for painting the background and applying glitter. After the pattern dries, fix it, applying a clear varnish, better than 2 layers.
Learning to draw on nails with acrylic paints
Acrylic paints are chosen by many to create drawings on nails, because they quickly dry and give bright shades. Apply an acrylic paint with a brush.
We put on the nail base varnish and let it dry. If you plan to decorate the nail with sequins in addition to the pattern, then with a wide brush put them on the still not dried lacquer. The foil is also applied to the liquid lacquer. Next, brush the desired pattern, advanced users can try to depict something more complicated using several shades of paint. Then fix the entire composition with a clear varnish.
How to learn to draw on nails with watercolors?
When the technique of drawing on nails will be mastered by you in perfection and serious murals will cease to frighten you, you can master the art of drawing on nails with watercolors. With their help you can create a full, multicolored, with shadows and highlights, a picture. Natural motifs made in watercolors look more natural, as these colors, unlike acrylics, shine through, which will emphasize the airiness and tenderness of petals, butterfly wings, leaves, etc. Only need to choose fresh, homogeneous, without grains, paint.
The beginning of the work is the same as in the previous paragraphs - applying a base coat (foil and sequins on raw varnish) and drying it. Next, the contours of the future drawing are marked with acrylic paints, this is necessary so that the watercolor does not spread. Although small details can be drawn without a contour - the paint will not be able to dissipate. Then fill the outline of the picture with watercolor, dry it. Using acrylic paint, we apply the necessary finishing touches and cover the nails with a transparent varnish.
