Before following the instructions to perform a step-by-step drawing on the nails, you should decide on the choice of the drawing itself. A woman should evaluate for what occasion this manicure is done, whether it will fit into her image, whether it will correspond to the “dress code” at work, and so on. Such nuances are very important, because it depends on whether the drawings on the nails will be a worthy decoration of a manicure, or whether they will become a vulgar and inappropriate detail.

Now you can notwaste time on unsuccessful attempts to independently make homemade drawings on the nails. It is enough to choose the picture you like, and then watch the master class. They show in detail how the drawing on the nails is done step by step.

But technology and tools these days make it possible to make wonderful drawings on your own, even if you don't know how to draw at all. This is done according to the instructions, step by step. Drawing on the nails can be absolutely for every taste.
What tools are needed for nail art?
Before you start painting on nails, you should familiarize yourself with the basic tools needed for high-quality and beautiful drawings. At first, drawing on your own may seem too difficult, but with some practice and experience, any girl will be able to make amazing and unique patterns.
In order to perform a step-by-step drawing on nails, first of all you will need good thick varnishes, gel nail polishes or acrylic paints.
What is dots
Homemade nail designs can be just as good as those done by a professional in a salon. For the simplest, dots is used. The name comes from the English "dots", that is, dots.
Smooth and neat circles are applied to the nail with ball-points. Also, with the help of dots, you can draw beautiful curls by stretching a drop of paint. Usuallythis tool has balls of different diameters on both sides, which allows you to create interesting patterns.
Nail Print Kits
To create complex, clear and perfectly even patterns, stamping for nails will help. The stamping set consists of metal discs with patterned grooves, stamps and a scraper.
Such a print on the nails requires a little experience, skill and accuracy in application, but the result exceeds all expectations. Lacy, openwork and geometric patterns, small small drawings, complex plot images - all this is stamping. Not a single professional can do such jewelry work with a brush so quickly and at the same time with high quality. When buying a stamping, it is better to give preference to branded sets, as it will not work to make a good drawing with a low-quality fake.
Nail Art Stickers
To create drawings, you can purchase a very simple option - nail stickers, or a slider design. The advantages of such nail art are accessibility, relative ease of application and beautiful, sometimes three-dimensional images. The disadvantages are that, firstly, the stickers themselves can look childish and cheap. Such nail art needs to be finalized with other details. The second disadvantage of the slider design is its fragility. A very delicate film can be easily damaged at the stage of fixing the pattern.
Brushes for painting on nails
Of course, for drawingbrushes are needed. They require more skill and skill than other tools. To begin with, you can use the usual thin brushes that are at hand, but gradually each girl will come to the conclusion that it is most convenient to use professional brushes designed specifically for nails. In specialized stores, there are many different brushes, each of them has its own purpose. Brushes are indispensable for drawing thin curving lines and performing complex artistic techniques.
Dotsom Drawing Ideas
If there is no dots, you can use any available object with a thin and symmetrical tip, such as a pencil or pen. The easiest option is to apply a straight row of dots, or to combine and layer peas of several different colors. But you can create other dots patterns on the nails. Let's take a step-by-step look at how a simple decor is made using dots.
- For starters, dots are placed on a dried background with dots. These are future flower petals. Until the paint or varnish is dry, we “tighten” the drops to the center of the flower with a needle.
- Additionally decorate the picture with small dots, highlight the details. For greater artistic effect, the dots should be slightly different in size, and the lines of dots should start with the largest pea and gradually decrease. To do this, dip the tip of the dots into the paint once and draw a line of dots with point tangential movements, gradually weakening the contact of the dots with the nailplate.
- For conciseness of the picture, one more dot is placed in the center of each flower with dots and simple lines are drawn. In this case, thick glitter varnish was used.
It will be even more interesting to look at a drawing made with dots on a gradient background or on the background of a French manicure.
How to make drawings on nails with paints step by step
Let's try to complicate the task. In order to draw the simplest petals with a brush and create drawings of flowers on the nails, you will need at least 2-3 colors.
- First, consider the order in which the colors will be applied. It will be better if you practice on some surface before you start drawing a flower on your nails.
- On the prepared background, apply the middle of the petal with a brush. The middle does not have to be drawn perfectly, as imperfections will be masked in the next steps.
- Then, depending on the order of the layers, the borders of the petals and light highlights are drawn with a thin brush. With light colors, the areas that we want to visually push forward are highlighted, and with dark colors, on the contrary, we “deepen” the details. The more play of colors is made in the drawing, the more realistic and voluminous it will look. In this case, the picture shows the simplest version using only two colors.
- This pattern is perfectly complemented by dots. With dots or rhinestones, you can decorate the middle of the flower and decorate the picture.
Gel drawings on nails are done in the same way aspaints.
Floral print on nails with stamping
Drawings of flowers on nails have recently been increasingly performed using printing. This procedure does not require special skills. If we talk in general terms about how to make drawings of flowers on nails step by step using stamping, then the following main points should be highlighted:
- You should prepare the background for the pattern, and wait for it to dry completely. The background can be made gradient, monophonic, French, or the natural color of the nail plate. It all depends on the desired result.
- A varnish of the color you want to make the pattern is applied to the metal plate with the desired pattern.
- Then, the varnish is completely removed from the plate with a scraper, after which the paint should remain only clearly according to the pattern, in engraved grooves.
- With a stamp, with a confident single movement, roll over the paint remaining in the grooves of the plate. Make sure that the design is completely clearly transferred to the stamp.
- With the same confident single movement, you should roll the stamp roller over the nail plate. If you roll this roller back and forth, the whole pattern will be ruined.
- Small patterns made using the stamping technique can be complemented with any other decorations, and on solid patterns, as, for example, in the picture above, you can insert rhinestones in the center of the flower. The main thing is that the end result looks stylish and harmonious.
- Carefully remove the ink imprinted on the fingers with a cotton swab dipped in the removervarnish.
It is better to start your acquaintance with stamping with small drawings, gradually introducing larger and more complex patterns. The subtlety of printing on nails also lies in the fact that the pattern must be placed on the nail plate in the right direction, and this requires some experience. If you learn how to perform stamping step by step, the drawing on the nails will turn out amazingly clear.

Now you know how to draw on nails. Be sure to fix the drawing at the end of each procedure. You can use regular clear polish, but it's better if it's a professional top coat. If gel drawings were made on the nails, then the finish should be from the same series, polymerizing under the lamp. You should be especially careful when applying the fixative if acrylic paints or stamping were used for the design.

And after drying, you can safely apply a second layer, because nothing will deteriorate.
After applying the top coat, the entire pattern will merge into an even image, it will look organic, solid and neat. From the quality of the "top" in many waysdepends on the durability of the manicure.
