Until recently, the design of nails meant the technique of the French manicure or nail polish with a simple painting. Today it is an extensive field for the master's work and a unique way of self-expression and attracting attention to yourself for many women. One of the most popular and effective design options in manicure today is modeling on nails - creating voluminous compositions with acrylic or gel.
Regardless of what method is used for modeling on nails (acrylic, gel), this design technique is inextricably linked with the build-up of nails. It is better that the nails had a sufficient length, because stucco moldings are placed in the middle or along the edge of the nail (the location near the root can adversely affect its condition).
Acrylic modeling on nails
For acrylic modeling, an acrylic powder of different shades and a liquid monomer are used, which, when mixed, form a lamellar mass. Most often the design of nails using acrylic modeling is performed on long transparent ("glass") accrued nails. To make the decoration does not look cumbersome, it is usually applied to a part of the surface of the nail. Also modeling can be performed not at all, but on individual nails, while the rest of the nails are painted with a varnish, suitable in color, or covered with artistic painting .
Stucco decorations can be created directly on the nail or formed on the foil, then attached to the nails. To complete the decoration, it is completed with some drawings, decorative elements (sequins, crystals, sequins, etc.). The finished composition, as a rule, is covered with a layer of acrylic or gel.
Modeling the gel on the nails
This kind of modeling appeared a little later, after the invention of special 3d-gels for modeling. With the help of such gels, you can create incredibly complex patterns that will not spread and flake. Volumetric gel patterns are created using thin brushes. An important nuance of this technique is the need to dry under ultraviolet after applying each design element, made in a new shade.
Modeling the gel allows you to create real miniature sculptures, as if made of glass, which can not be achieved with acrylic materials. In addition, an important advantage of gel molding on nails is that the gel is odorless.
