Therefore, today women are choosing more and more interesting nail designs to emphasize their individuality.

Sculpting with acrylic powder - design features
To master a new technique, you must keep in mind that you first need to create and think over a sketch of the future design, and only then proceed to create a masterpiece. TemMoreover, acrylic modeling is not very easy for beginners. Experienced craftsmen always advise first to draw a pattern on paper or on tips, and only then proceed to its implementation on the hands of the customer. Particular attention should be paid to the details, they must be done very carefully, have a clear, perfect contour.
Technique
To create three-dimensional figures on the nails, acrylic powder and liquid are used. To work, you will need a special brush with which a pattern is applied to the nails. The process of applying the design actually resembles modeling, the finished elements dry within a minute and a half and resemble sculpture elements.
To make acrylic modeling look more elegant, you first need to grow your nails or grow your own and cover them with gel polish to strengthen them. In the process of creating a design, the main load falls on the free edge of the nail, so it must be strengthened so that the nail plate does not crack.
Required materials and tools
To make a manicure with modeling, you will need:
- Acrylic powder in different colors.
- Liquid. It is a special self-hardening liquid. It is better to use formulations based on ethyl methacrylate. Unlike methyl methacrylate, it is not as harmful to he alth and does not cause allergic reactions.
- Brushes for modeling. You should purchase a round brush with a sharp tip and a thin small brush that will be convenient for drawing small elements.
- Decor(beads, broths, rhinestones, sequins, etc.).
To make a flawless manicure that will delight its owner for at least two weeks, you should use only high-quality materials from trusted companies.
How to choose acrylic powder
When choosing, you should consider some points:
- Quality acrylic powder does not spread or crystallize. The material is laid in a dense layer on the nail platinum, it can be easily corrected and further processed.
- Due to the porous structure of the substance, the natural nail plate receives enough oxygen and "breathes". This largely determines the duration of the wear of the coating and its durability. A manicure made with low-quality materials can harm the nail plate. In addition, such a coating will be prone to peeling, and its useful life will be significantly reduced.
- Acrylic powder is white or transparent, but thanks to the use of dyes it is dyed in a variety of colors.
- When choosing materials to create a design, it is best to use liquid and acrylic powder from the same manufacturer.
Acrylic modeling on nails: step by step
- Pour the required amount of acrylic into the prepared container.
- Artistic design can be done directly on the nail platinum or on tips. Pre-prepare the nail plate, build up if necessary, or cover the nail with a layer of gel polish.
- First, the brush is dipped in liquid, then in the powder of a certainshade. After that, twist the brush a little to get the ball. The size of the ball will depend on how deep you dip the brush.
- Now the resulting ball is placed on the plate in the place where the acrylic molding will be formed. Give the ball the desired shape. To continue working with the fragment, dip the brush again into the composition and continue working. To create a perforation when working with a brush, apply a little pressure on the lump to work through each contour.
Tips for working with acrylic powder
All elements are formed separately from each other using powder of different colors. We advise you to make large elements first, and then move on to small ones in order to control the design and overall composition.
Depending on your idea, the acrylic composition can be placed along the edge of the nail, in the center of the nail plate or on the top layer. However, the pattern should not be placed near the cuticle. In this place, the composition will not last long. According to the author's intention, you can add rhinestones, sparkles, broths and other decorative elements to the composition.
An important condition for the high quality of manicure is the correct location of the composition on the nail. The main elements should not be randomly scattered, as such a manicure will look ridiculous and devoid of style.
When is nail art appropriate?
Design with acrylic molding (photos show this) is not very comfortable for everyday wear andhas some disadvantages. If you constantly work with your hands, then such a manicure will be inconvenient, because it has convex elements. With constant contact with chemicals and water, it loses its resistance. Also, acrylic molding elements cling to clothes and fabrics. When choosing a similar design, you should follow a few rules, otherwise it may suffer and cause a lot of inconvenience. Such a manicure is most often done at weddings or before important events, anniversaries and social events.
Moreover, it should be noted that each event has its own special design. Brides often opt for a touching delicate pattern with flowers, hearts and butterflies. Business women often choose compositions with animals, reptiles and bright colors and complement them with various decor. Such a manicure not only cheers up, but also adds self-confidence. For events, you can choose a manicure in the color of a dress or handbag.
