What does not come up with a manicurist to satisfy creative fantasies of his capricious clients. It seemed that all the possible and impossible materials had already been tried: they glued the rhinestones, and feathered the feathers, even dried flowers and various blades of grass to the nail were fastened. Only it became fashionable to apply an interesting print on the nails, as there were stickers for the nails. But this was not enough. Now the women of fashion got to the newspapers. The design of nails with a newspaper today is at the peak of popularity. In any salon you will be offered a newspaper manicure for every taste and color. Home craftsmen painstakingly cut scissors with strips or ovals so that you can then do a manicure with a newspaper like in the salon, and even better. I must say that all these efforts will not be wasted. A manicure with newspaper letters looks really very interesting, provocatively and gently at the same time.
Manicure with the help of the newspaper: instruction
Newspaper manicure can be done both in the salon and at home. The technique of execution is exactly the same. Paper can be used in two ways: apply only printed text or newspaper clippings in full. Each method has its own advantages, but in the end it turns out equally beautiful.
Instructions for manicure with a whole piece of newspaper:
- First, prepare the nails and make a manicure according to all the rules: carefully file and shape the nails, adjust the cuticle.
- Now cover the nails with a layer of white lacquer. If you use colored pieces, the coating should be transparent.
- Before applying, "try on" the cut pieces. Next, we soak them in the water. Thus, the paper fits perfectly to the nail.
- Now all this beauty needs to be covered with one or two layers of clear lacquer.
- If you want to give a little space of imagination, there is room for experiment. It is absolutely not necessary to cut out a piece of paper just under the shape of the nail. Cut several strips of arbitrary shape and length. Apply them in a chaotic order, gradually covering the entire nail plate.
- Very nice looking pieces with burnt edges. But here you need a little skill. To finish such a manicure you can glitter or rhinestones.
Another way to do newspaper manicure at home:
- Preliminarily bring the nails in order and do a manicure.
- We cover nails with a layer of your favorite varnish. With this technique, the color of the varnish does not matter. The layer should be thick enough and well dried.
- Take a small container and pour alcohol into it. We immerse the painted nails in alcohol and apply pre-prepared pieces of newsprint to the nails.
- This should be done very carefully, otherwise you risk getting an indistinct and smeared drawing.
- It is advisable to take a fresh newspaper: when the printed test is fresh, it is better applied to the nail.
- It is necessary to press down densely enough, but neatly. We hold a couple of minutes.
- We remove the newspaper from the nails and cover with a layer of fixer or clear lacquer.
This technique can be done a little differently:
- After coating with lacquer, apply paper with the text on the nail.
- The paper is dry and with fresh printed text. Now, from above, apply a well-moistened alcohol wool disc.
- Gently hold down for 30-40 seconds and remove.
Newspaper manicure is good in that it is not difficult to do at home. In this case, it is appropriate in almost any situation. If you apply it on a beige or other "neutral" background of the nail, you can go with such a manicure to study or to the office. For a party, just make a bright background and add rhinestones or other decorative elements.
