If you are tired of the monotony of the palette of varnishes, you can make a rather interesting manicure with a sponge, which will shine with bright motifs on the hands of any fashionista. What happens in the end will look original and delight your friends. A simple manicure at home can be done with a sponge and paints. It will go well with any outfit, especially since the colors can be matched to the outfit. Such a nail design can be done not only on the hands, but also on the legs, of course, with some practice, since it may not turn out perfect right away. To create such an original drawing, you will need: two or more colors of paint, nail polish, a sponge, a file and nail polish remover.
Applying technique
To begin with, it is worth doing a hygienic manicure so that the skin around the nails looks aesthetically pleasing. After all, no nail polish, and even more so with a design, will not look perfect if the cuticles are not processed. After the procedure is completed, you can begin to do a manicure with a sponge. On the file you need to apply a small stripethe number of paints of different colors next to each other, and you can blend them with an orange stick - this way you can achieve a smooth color transition. Before the paint is dry, you need to dip it into the tracks with a sponge
and make an imprint on the nail, covered with varnish of the main color. If the paint gets on the skin, then this is not a problem, since it can be easily removed with nail polish remover. After you have applied prints to all nails, and the varnish has dried, the resulting pattern must be covered with a protective varnish, and then everything that is imprinted on it should be removed from the skin. Such a manicure, made with a sponge on the nails, lasts from 2-3 days, depending on the hardness of the nail plate: the stronger your nails, the longer the coating will not be erased.
But not only with varnish and paints you can make such a nail design. With the help of light-curing gel polishes, you can make the same interesting ornament. This applies to both conventional and polyurethane color gels. The only thing to consider is that when doing a manicure with a gel polish sponge, you need to apply the pattern not to all the nails at once, but to cover them one at a time so that the effect of the dots does not disappear when the gel spreads. The gel coating will last much longer than the varnish, but when corrected, it will either have to be cut off or soaked in a special solution. If you suddenly really want to do such a manicure, but you don’t have it at hand
neither acrylics nor gels, then you can use regular gouache. In using suchThe method has its disadvantages: the coating will not be resistant, and the paint will have to be diluted with water to the desired consistency in order to get the transition effect.
Manicure at home? Easy
It is not at all necessary to go to a beauty salon for an original nail design - you can do an easy manicure at home on your own, you just need to practice a little. Don't limit yourself to the sponge stamping effect: adding glitter or additional painting can turn a simple design into a very interesting abstraction, and using gold leaf will create a unique design that is now in vogue.
