Nail art is a rather young, but already widely popular type of contemporary art. Being in constant creative search and self-development, he never ceases to amaze women all over the world with his new ideas and bright works.
One of these fresh ideas is the so-called mosaic on the nails. Original, stylish, unique drawings made in this technique are perfect for any look.
Manufacturers of special materials and equipment for manicure, keeping up with the latest fashion trends, offer a variety of new items for making mosaics, and manicure masters are developing new techniques and designs for this popular nail painting.
The easiest way, of course, is to purchase a special "mosaic" gel polish for nails. It already comes with inclusions, which, after being applied to the nail plate, form a mosaic pattern. Well, if you want something unusual, interesting, not like everyone else? Let's look at some options.
Fashion cracks
The mosaic on the nails, created by chaotic cracks, looks very impressive. They are formed witha special craquelure varnish often used in arts and crafts.
First, the nails are covered with base polish. It should have a light shade. Then, after the first layer has dried, a second one is applied - dark manicure craquelure. As it dries, it will begin to crack, and the first layer will appear in the resulting cracks. After the craquelure has dried, the pattern is fixed with a colorless varnish. This method of applying a mosaic is good because each time the pattern on the nails will turn out to be completely different, unique, which will undoubtedly emphasize the bright individuality of the beautiful owner of the manicure. It is also impossible not to appreciate the short time in which this unusual drawing can be made.
Handmade
Another way to decorate your nails with a mosaic is to paint it by hand. First, the plate should be covered with a light matte base. Then, using a very thin brush and black or gold lacquer (or acrylic paint), you need to outline the mosaic. The work is very delicate, almost jewelry, and therefore can take quite a long time.
After the contour is completely dry, you need to fill in the "windows" of the mosaic. For this purpose, you can use either one color or several - a stunning effect is provided in any case. Finally, the mosaic should be fixed with a finishing varnish.
In all its splendor
Unusual and beautiful nail design - a mosaic created with a special foil. First, the nail is covered with a base varnish of any color. Then, on top of the dried base, severalchaotic strokes with transparent varnish. Next, you need to wait until it dries a little, and attach a manicure transfer foil to it. Part of it will stick to the clear polish, leaving interesting patterns on the surface of the nail.
Fixing a manicure in this case is best with diamond varnish, which will enhance the shine and shine of the mosaic.
Sequins
The mosaic on the nails, made using sparkles, looks very impressive. To create it, first the nails are covered with the main varnish. After it has completely dried on the nail, the contours of geometric shapes should be applied. For this purpose, a varnish a few tones darker than the main one is suitable.
Then with a varnish lighter than the base, you need to paint over several figures. After drying this layer with a contrasting varnish, it is necessary to paint over a few more “windows”.
At the end of the work, it is necessary to draw the contours of the figures using glitter varnish.
Give strength and extra shine to the resulting pattern with a colorless top coat.
Sculpture casting
Difficult in execution technique, but very beautiful in appearance is the mosaic on the nails, made by casting. The sequence of applying such a pattern is as follows.
First, a base coat is applied to the nail, waiting for it to dry completely. Next, the contours of the future pattern are applied to the base. For this purpose, you should use a manicure sculpting gel, which must be applied with a very thin brush. Then the gel mustdry with an ultraviolet lamp.
After that, a small piece of manicure transfer foil should be attached to the contours of the mosaic - it will stick to the gel. Thanks to this technique, the drawing on the nail will turn out not only voluminous, but also sparkling.
Next, you need to paint over the “windows” in the mosaic with multi-colored varnish and fix the manicure with transparent varnish.
Miniature Stained Glass
Another interesting mosaic pattern on nails is the so-called stained-glass window. In this case, it is best to take white matte varnish as the basis for the drawing. After it dries on the nail, you need to draw the contours of the future stained glass window. A sculpting gel applied with a thin brush is ideal here. After fixing it with ultraviolet light, you need to proceed to the next step - painting over the pattern segments with transparent multi-colored varnishes that imitate a stained-glass window.
You can fix such a pattern with a simple transparent varnish.
The drawings for this type of mosaic are not created chaotic, as in the previous versions, but with strict geometric outlines, giving the nails the maximum resemblance to a real stained glass window. With this pattern, you can decorate either the entire nail, or part of it from the “smile” line to the outer edge. The complexity of this decor is the need to create absolutely identical patterns on all nails, which only a very experienced master with a developed eye and a full hand can do.
There are a lot of ways to create a mosaic on nails today. Simple and complex, requiringprofessional skills and equipment, or not requiring them at all - they all serve the same purpose - to decorate a woman's nails with a unique author's pattern, to emphasize her individuality and style.
The image of a real woman is like a mosaic that consists of numerous elements - clothes, hairstyles, makeup, manicure, accessories. Successfully matched to each other, together they begin to “sound”, and the image itself turns out to be pure, harmonious.
Manicure in the "mosaic" technique is spectacular, unusual, bright. In this element, you can be 100% sure, and thanks to him, its owner will be irresistible.
