Geometric designs and patterns on nails are very popular now. Therefore, we invite you to find out how a manicure with dots is done.
How to draw dots or what do you need for a dot manicure?
To make a beautiful manicure with dots, you will need to take the base and top coat, the base polish that will be used for the background and varnishes for the dots.
The dots themselves are made by the manicurist using a special tool - dots. This thing looks like an awl. Small pen and needle. Only the end is not pointed, like an awl. There is a small ball there. Dots can be bilateral. In this case, the balls will be of different sizes. Dots are used not only to create points. They are comfortable drawing petals, geometric patterns, flowers, swirls and more.
If there is no dots, then a manicure with dots can be done with a regular match or a toothpick.
Simple polka dots
The most common manicure with dots is one-color polka dots. The combination of retro fashion, simplicity and elegance are the advantages of this design. Dots can decorate all nails or select a few.
Working order:
- Prepare the nail plate and apply the basecover.
- Paint your nails with background polish. Apply another coat if needed.
- Wait for the polish to dry.
- Take a small piece of a leaf or a cap and drip the varnish chosen to create the dots.
- Take a tool (dots, toothpick or match), dip a little in a drop and put a dot on the nail. Keep dotting.
- Try to make the dots the same size. Before drawing on your nails, you can practice on a piece of paper.
- When the dots are dry, cover your nails with top coat.
Contrasting manicure looks very nice with black dots on a white background and, conversely, white dots on pink, red, gray, blue and so on.
Lots of points
Want to create a fun and bright manicure? Points on the nails will help you do this. First, apply a base coat and a background. To make the manicure more expressive, you can make an additional layer of sparkles. Also, instead of a background, you can apply a solid one-color shading.
Take some colors of nail polish. You can use any number of shades, the main thing is that they fit one to one in structure and type. Put one drop of varnish on the substrate. Take the tool and put a dot on the nail. Create as many dots of the same color as you need. Then put a drop of another varnish. Draw dots again. Keep painting until you've finished your manicure.
You can combine dots with other patterns (such as lines). To make beautifulmanicure, you can draw peas of different sizes. It also looks very nice when the points overlap each other. In this way, you can cover the entire plate or only part.
Drawings on nails with dots
Polka dots are a beautiful pattern in and of themselves. But you can also do drawings on the nails with dots. Design examples (see the picture below):
- Three black dots can draw the head of Mickey Mouse. Just put one large drop and two smaller ones on top.
- If you put a large dot of one color, and make several dots of another around it, you will get an original flower. Several of these daisies can fit on one nail. It all depends on the size of the dots.
- You can make another version of the flower. To do this, first put the dots-petals close to each other, and then make the middle. Such flowers look good in group performance. But a beautiful manicure will turn out if the drawing is applied to the edge of the nail, and dots of different sizes are placed around it in a chaotic manner.
- Dots can be an addition to an abstract pattern. They can be used to make patterns. For example, colorful spirals.
- Points of different color and size can be beautifully placed on the nail in an arcuate fashion. Let one arc go over the other and so on until they cover the nail.
- Also, the original manicure will turn out if you put the dots one on one. You can not wait for the first drop to dry completely. Then there will be a smooth transition between colors.
The main beauty of dot manicure is the ability to create different designs using two or three colors. It's also pretty fast and pretty.
