When most people hear the word "airbrush" the first thing that comes to mind is spray paint on cars or walls. It immediately seems that this occupation is more than large-scale in area. However, specialists in the field of nail art have been practicing such a direction as airbrushing on nails for many years, which is popular with the fair sex, who are not satisfied with the monotonous boring coating of their nail plates. In addition to the artistic coloring of the client's own nails, it is possible to decorate with designer materials, which are artificial overhead elements with an individual painting.
Using an airbrush you can save on varnishes and paints
Airbrushing on nails is liked by women for the speed of execution, the ability to get smooth transitions of shades with a minimum layer of paint. For the economy of material consumption, they love thismethod and nail artists. However, you can get a really high-quality drawing only from practicing professionals, since only great experience allows you to adjust the paint supply so delicately that almost works of art are obtained on the nail plates.
Checking the airbrush when buying
Airbrushing for beginners on nails, in fact, begins with the acquisition of appropriate equipment. The first is the airbrush itself. Experts believe that it is better to purchase a more expensive Japanese device, which is of higher quality. A good option is the sample Jas 1117, suitable for thin lines. It gives a paint output of 0.3 mm and has a 9 milliliter paint tank. In addition, novice nail art lovers can purchase the Jas 1152 device with an outlet jet size of 0.3 mm and the ability to mount different tanks with a volume of 20 to 75 ml. The purchased device must be checked in action for the quality of spraying, the smoothness of the paint supply, the size of the resulting spot, the absence of material at the tip after turning off the air supply (to check the airbrush is charged with water).
Choose compressor
For an airbrush, you need to choose a suitable compressor with a low (which is important for working with clients!) Noise level. At the same time, it must be chosen so that, according to the characteristics of the output pressure, it fits the airbrush (you need to familiarize yourself with the documentation for both units). Airbrushing on nails is not performed in very dustyindoors, as dust particles will enter the manicure through the compressor, reducing its quality. Or you need to buy expensive samples of devices for supplying compressed air with cleaning, which are significantly more expensive and noisier.
Approximate work order
Airbrushing on nails is best done after a full manicure. Therefore, an airbrush artist must have skills in this area as well. To carry out such work in nail art, varnish is used, diluted to the consistency of milk, or water-based acrylic paints, diluted to a homogeneous state. If the client's own nails are painted, then the base is applied first (usually in the form of a matte varnish).
You can immediately apply paint or varnish on artificial nails, and first there is a light base layer, then several colored ones, on which drawings are made on a stencil. Next, the nail is slightly dried with an air jet from the same airbrush. Sequins, beads, pebbles, etc. are attached to it, if desired. After that, all layers are fixed with a colorless varnish. Beginning artists are advised to purchase stencils, as airbrushing on a nail is a very difficult procedure.
Airbrushing on nails, the photo of which is presented above, is often an expensive procedure, since for a drawing you need to charge the device, connect it to a compressor, change paint cans and rinse all equipment after each client, if not after each processed element (in cases where the client wishesget different nails).
