Nowadays, the manicure market offers a variety of varnishes for every taste and color. The color palette is not just rainbows, but different kinds of brights and skin tones. To create a knitted manicure with gel polish or acrylic, we need a base base, an LED lamp or a UV lamp. The nails are covered with a base gel. Then it is dried with lamps. Varnishes of different colors are applied on top of it. It is advisable to apply two or three layers. Each of them is also carefully dried. Bed tones are especially unique. They give a knitted manicure a delightful matte effect. In most cases, knitting is done on one ring finger. But there are types of decors when a knitted manicure is applied to two fingers - ring and index, or all five fingers at once.
Description of performance technique
Before starting to create a manicure, hands are washed with soap, nails are cleaned of the previous decor. Then the cuticle is processed. It is pushed back or cut off with special manicure scissors. The nails are given the desired ideal shape using buffs or special nail files. Then the nail plates are thoroughly degreased.
A base coat is applied to the nailscoating. This action will help the manicure become strong and stable. The base coat also protects nails from impact and direct UV exposure.
Then the desired color is selected and carefully applied to the nails. The gel is dried in a lamp. Then the procedure is repeated 2-3 times depending on the thickness of the acrylic.
After the knitted manicure has already been applied, the nails are processed. The sticky layer is removed. To further strengthen the manicure, you can apply a transparent varnish on top.
Christmas tree decoration
A straight line is drawn along the nail, which is immediately dried under a UV lamp. Then an identical line is drawn at the same place. The gel is dried and the third strip is applied to the same nail. The result should be a three-dimensional figure. Subsequently, the application of each line of the pattern should be repeated three times. But if the varnish is too thick, you can get by with two identical stripes.
The main thing is that the girl who creates the decor should like the voluminous knitted manicure. The technique of making patterns includes applying strokes. Short dashed lines are created next to the solid drawn line. They are also dried with a UV lamp and polymerized twice. To continue the herringbone pattern, the strokes are applied parallel to the short sticks. The procedure is also repeated twice. On the other hand, dots are drawn next to the main vertical line. The result should be a woven Christmas tree pattern of a decorated manicure.
Oval chain decoration
On the ring finger, draw a rounded knitted manicure. The technique of this execution involves the creation of a continuous chain. In this case, rounded or oval figures are drawn on the nail. The execution procedure is identical to the Christmas tree pattern. Each chain is repeated three times and dried with a UV lamp after each repetition.
You can draw vertical straight lines next to the chain. Small dots are placed along these lines. It should be noted that the chain should not be applied to the very middle of the nail, but slightly to the left or right. Otherwise, the points may not fit, and the chain in the middle will put a lot of pressure on the nail.
