Girls who are accustomed to watching their own appearance are constantly in search of original images. One of the newest fashion trends is geometric manicure. The technique allows you to translate into reality the most unique ideas and is limited only by the imagination of the performer. A manicure with a geometric pattern is performed using ordinary varnishes and adhesive tape.
Tools and materials
To make a geometric manicure, you will need the following:
- curly and straight scissors;
- tweezers;
- clear base polish (required for leveling the nail plate);
- main background color;
- varnishes of individual shades to create patterns;
- transparent fixer;
- stationery tape.
Preparation for work
How does a geometric manicure with gel polish begin? First of all, a thorough treatment of the cuticle area is performed. The free edges of the nail plates are aligned to the same length. Cuticle processes and all existing hangnailsare removed. If the above actions are neglected, geometric patterns will look extremely sloppy, and hands will look unkempt.
In conclusion, the idea of the composition is formed, which will be implemented when performing a manicure. Then you can go directly to nail art.
French manicure
How to perform the simplest geometric manicure? Design using adhesive tape to create a French manicure is the best solution for girls who do not want to spend extra time and effort on doing the job.
The implementation of this technique is particularly simple. To begin with, a base leveling surface is applied. Next, the nails are covered with the main color. After the latter has dried, the finger is wrapped with a narrow tape of adhesive tape. A narrow strip of material is left at the edge of the nail plate.
The part of the nail that remains open is painted over with varnish, the shade of which differs from the main one. It is advisable to apply not too thick a layer. Otherwise, it will look overly textured. Finally, the nails are covered with a transparent fixing varnish, which allows you to align the borders.
Stars
An excellent solution is a geometric manicure, made in the form of a star pattern. The implementation of such ideas looks appropriate in preparation for the festive events.
To make star geometric patterns, you will need:
- varnishes of several shades that comein contrast to each other, for example, red, black and silver;
- thin tape;
- tweezers;
- manicure scissors;
- colorless fixer.
During the work, the adhesive tape is cut into small rectangles. The resulting figures are cut according to the diagonal. Thus, you should get 3 triangles per nail.
The surface of the nail plates is covered with a base base in several layers. With the help of tweezers, the bases of the nails are covered with triangles of adhesive tape. As a result, the ends of the plates free of material should acquire a pattern similar to a half star.
The edges not covered with adhesive tape are painted over with the main tone. The material is then carefully removed. After the varnish has dried, the already painted part is closed with adhesive tape. Free space is filled with a different color. A fixative is applied to the surface of the nail plates.
Christmas design
To create a geometric manicure that is filled with the spirit of the New Year holidays, you will need the following:
- rich green polish;
- liquid or dry gloss;
- tweezers, adhesive tape, nail scissors;
- colorless base.
To begin with, 2 strips of adhesive tape are cut per each nail plate. The surfaces are covered with a base colorless varnish. As soon as the base dries, tape is applied with tweezers so that an open space is formed in the middle part of the nail plate in the form of a sharptriangle. The specified part is painted over with a bright green varnish.
As soon as the pattern dries, it can be additionally decorated with all sorts of sparkles and small rhinestones. At the end, the finished work is covered with a fixer.
The result should be a composition that resembles a Christmas tree. The top of the triangle can be decorated with a large star, which will make the design more festive.
Diagonals
One of the easiest solutions for creating a geometric manicure. To complete the work, you only need a matte varnish and a base of a contrasting shade.
Progress:
- Rectangular strips of adhesive tape are being prepared at the rate of 1 piece for each nail plate.
- Nails are completely covered with a matte base.
- Adhesive tape is glued onto the plates so that their halves overlap diagonally.
- The material-free edges are decorated with any pre-selected shade.
- After drying, the tape is removed.
It is not required to cover the surface of the pattern with a colorless varnish. Otherwise, the matte background will look too faded.
