Technology of photo design for nails
This technology involves drawing a picture on the surface of the nail, not with a brush, but by gluing the finished image, which is performed by the method of photo printing on a special thin substrate. Let's take a step-by-step look at how to make photodesign on nails:
- Before you do photodesign of nails, you need to determine the period of wearing it. If you apply a drawing under a layer of varnish, it will last several days. For a long-term effect, the pattern is applied to the gel.
- Apply a layer of gel and dry it under the lamp. Next, remove the sticky layer and apply the gel to the place where the pattern will be. For work during the usual manicure, a white lacquer is applied under the sticker.
- In order to make high-quality photodesign on nails, as carefully as possible prepare the sticker itself: cut the sticker in the form of a rectangle or shape of the nail, but it should be a couple of millimeters smaller than the nail plate. This is necessary for the lacquer to fix the pattern on the nail. To make the sticker better on the nail plate, make small incisions. Photo design for nails requires accuracy and accuracy of movements, then the result will really please you.
- Next, you need to carefully remove the pattern from the substrate. On the extended nail, you can safely handle the sticker with gel, and for normal manicure use glue and a clear lacquer.
- In the end, the sticker is covered with a fixer. To make the image look harmonious and not rough, before making a varnish coating, photodesign of nails requires processing the edges of the picture. You can decorate the edges with sequins or foil.
