Many women neglect pedicure and do not consider it necessary to do toenail design. To them, it seems like a glamorous excess or complete bad taste, especially when combined with business attire. Dear ladies, make no mistake: just like wardrobe items or jewelry, nail art, pedicure can be combined with the chosen style of clothing, and there can be no talk of any pretentiousness.
In summer, the appearance of women's legs in open shoes is more important than ever, it is also important how nails look. A pedicure completes the summer look of a woman and helps to strike the staring men on the spot. If you don't like the shape of your toenails, you can get extensions at the salon. Extension toenail designs are more durable than natural nails, and can last a month or more.
When applying complex volumetric patterns on toenails, this should be done only on the thumb, so as not to spoil the picture of the pedicure and notmake it tasteless. The rest of the nails are painted in the background color of the thumbnail. Remember to apply a base coat first for a more even distribution of the polish on the nail. Also, such a coating should be applied at the end of the pedicure to fix the result.
Toenail design tools needed:
Firstly, decide on the composition and choose the colors of the varnishes, and also do not forget about the transparent varnish, which will serve as the base and fixer. You can also paint on nails with lacquer and water-based paints. Stock up on tweezers.
Secondly, the design of toenails is a creative process, all kinds of brushes may be needed to apply small and complex patterns. To draw ornaments, take a “petal” brush; to create large elements, you need a flat brush; for detailed drawings, a spot brush is needed; for complex designs, a brush with short hairs is suitable; long hairs on the brush will help when drawing fine lines; a fan-shaped brush will help to draw abstractions and landscapes; you will also need a brush to draw straight lines and dots.
If you haven't had time to buy the necessary brushes yet, and you can't wait to decorate your nails with an exquisite pattern, you can use a toothpick or a needle. With a thin needle, you can create beautiful abstractions by dropping a silent varnish on a nail that has already been painted with a different color and creating beautiful streaks in a circular motion.
Thirdly, a simple idea can turn into a pedicure masterpiece ifyou will use sequins, rhinestones, foil, appliques, pebbles, colored sand and other similar accessories for nail design.
Having thoroughly prepared for such a responsible operation as a pedicure, let's proceed to the process itself. Here are some examples of toenail design techniques.
1. Diamond toenail design
After covering your nails with a base to begin with, apply white polish (it is better to use this color in order to brighten the particles). Without waiting for it to dry, carefully apply glitter. After the final drying of the varnish, brush off the excess glitter with a dry brush, but do it without much pressure so as not to touch the glitter that has already adhered and spoil the picture. Finish your pedicure with a thick coat of polish to help hold the glitter particles in place.
2. Marble pedicure
Several different shades of varnish are mixed in a separate container. Then the resulting mixture is applied to the nails, and the result is guaranteed iridescent abstract and unusual pattern.
3. Marine motifs
In the summer on the beach, the marine design of toenails will look especially relevant. Blue and blue shades will create beautiful abstractions on the theme of the ocean. Tropical motifs will give a special piquancy to your image. They can be executed with the help of images of exotic fish, southern palms, tropical flowers and sea shells. Mother-of-pearl, rhinestones and sequins will complement this design with grace. Also, a small ring on the toe will be a spectacular accessory.
