Juicy idea for those who are good at drawing
The following illustration shows how to do an ice cream manicure.
On the dried layer of the background varnish, apply two strokes coming from the same point with beige varnish. When it dries, make perpendicular stripes with a thin brush, imitating the pattern of a waffle cup. Ice cream balls can be multi-colored. Finish off with glitter polish.
Use the top to level the surface. If you are using regular polishes, it is advisable to finish your manicure with a fixer.
As you can see, everything is quite simple, no special artistic skills are required.
Stamping
The popularity of manicure stamps is growing exponentially. No wonder, because this technique produces excellent results.
You will need a stamping plate with an ice cream pattern. Put a drop of black varnish or special paint on it, carefully level it with a spatula, print it on a stamp. After turning it over, carefully paint the cone and ice cream balls with colored varnishes (use a thin brush to paint, varnish brushes are too large for this). Press the stamp against the nail, transferring the imprint. Cover with top and dry. It remains only to remove the sticky layer (if any).
The easy way - sliders
An even simpler way involves the use of ready-made decorative elements. It maybe decals or stickers. They are very easy to use, just follow the manufacturer's instructions strictly.
Decals should be carefully placed on nails with completely dry polish. They hold up just fine, but can be covered with a top coat if desired (if you're doing a gel manicure).
Decals need to be cut into pieces, immersed in water so that the paper cover comes off. It is convenient to use tweezers to move the pictures on the nails. If decals are used, a topcoat is required. If you are doing a regular manicure, cover your nails with a fixer or clear polish.
If you decide to do a manicure with ice cream, your nails should not be overloaded with decor. It is enough to decorate a few fingers with sweets, cover the rest of the nails with a monochromatic coating that matches in color with the pattern.
Time and place
A bright summer manicure with ice cream will look ridiculous at an interview, in a respectable office, on an exam. But on the beach, in a nightclub, on a trip or on a trip to a tropical country, such a nail design can make a splash.
If you like this nail idea, make it a reality before the holidays.
