They are sold in boxes in a set of several colors (most often three). The word "kamifubiki" came to us from Japan. There, the application of such elements is called a "paper storm", which in Japanese sounds like "kamifurano".
Small components of such sets can be of various shapes: circles, stars, rhombuses, hearts and various other figures. Most often, we use exactly round plates.different sizes. Colorful and bright confetti on the nails looks extremely impressive, festive. Therefore, often a manicure with kamifubiki is done by women for some significant events. It could be a birthday party, a New Year's party, or even a wedding.
Depending on for what life case this technique is used, the number of plates is also selected. For everyday wear, you can take a few confetti to apply to certain areas of the nail plate or cover one nail. For a bright holiday with a beautiful outfit, you can add sparkles and nails. On each finger, put accent points of several pieces, and completely fill one or two nails with pieces of confetti.

Apply method
If you have a gel polish kit and a UV lamp, thenyou need to act according to a familiar pattern.
Kamifubiki manicure is easy to do. First you need to carefully prepare the surface of the nail for applying varnish. The nail plate must be degreased, after which the base layer is applied. Cured under a UV lamp.
Then the main color of the gel polish is applied, again the drying process for 2 minutes. When applying the finish coating, we do not polymerize, but first we sink the kamifubiki, placing them in the right place, in the intended order. Ideas for manicure with kamifubiki need to be thought out in advance and choose the right set that matches the basic tone of the varnish. Although the color of small particles may contrast radically from the main tone. A matter of taste and creative ideas of the author.

Everything! You can shine with a new image at all parties for 2-3 weeks. During this time, you need to think carefully about new design solutions and surprise your friends or loved one in a new way.
Interesting ideas
Let's start with such a popular lately French manicure. Circles are placed along the line of the rounded part of the nail plate. You can extend the rim a little down, adding rare inclusions of smaller circles, as if going to "no".
For manicure "Lunarfrench" circles are placed around the cuticle, placing them in the shape of a semicircle.
For everyday manicure, you can also use shiny circles, but place them modestly, only on one or maximum two nails. The rest - should not be too bright, better monochromatic, because even one nail with kamifubiki can decorate a woman's hands and attract the eyes of others.
Placing on the nail
The arrangement of shiny details on the nail can be very different. These are stripes in the middle of the nail, and drawing from the smallest elements of patterns. You can choose circles of only one color and size, or you can arrange and diversify different ones. A matter of taste and fantasy.
If a bright and defiant red manicure with kamifubiki is done, then it is better to place confetti either on one nail, or on each, but a little bit near the cuticle. Too colorful application of plates on such a bright red varnish will look vulgar. The main thing is not to overdo it.
The classic combination of red and black colors looks very beautiful and rich. On a deep black shade, kamifubiki look very mysterious and give the manicure a certain solemnity.
Particles of bright contrasting colors are applied to the gel polish of dark shades (blue, black, emerald, burgundy, brown). This is the best decoration that does not require additional solutions. Confetti become more expressive if appliedmatte gel polish over the circles.
But the pink manicure with kamifubiki should be gentle, too bright elements are not recommended. It can be light colors, pastel colors. Their placement on the nail should be thoughtful. French will look good.
