One of the most interesting novelties with the sphere of nail-art are the sliders for nails, which are special stickers with a variety of patterns. These labels are made of ultra-thin film on a water basis. To separate it from the base, it is enough to soak the base, putting the sticker in the water. A manicure with sliders is also in demand because the hand- painted nails are much more expensive than a similar design.

Types of sliders
As already mentioned, a manicure with a slider design is done using stickers. This suggests that it can be performed at home, resulting in a salon effect. Thanks to a thickness of only 10 micrometers, the plastic film fits perfectly on the nail plate, repeating its shape. Since the slider has a white base, the design and the manicure itself can be evaluated immediately, attaching a sticker to the nail. If the base is transparent, it is worthwhile to apply a plain light lacquer to the nail.
Those who are interested in the design of nails with sliders, it is worth knowing that there are several types of these transfer labels. The most common and popular stickers are solid sliders , which are applied to the entire area of the nail plate. Having decided to decorate with such sliders nails, do not forget about a millimeter indentation from the edge of the cuticle. This is necessary in order to be able to seal the film, preventing its detachment.
The second type of sliders is appliqués . They are made from the same film, but are not applied with a continuous layer on the nail, but on its individual sections. Such sliders are used, mainly, by novice masters due to the ease of application. Films-applications are used for creating both manicure and pedicure.
The third type is French-stickers , which are pieces of a crescent-shaped film. They can be of a variety of colors, but the most popular white french-stickers used for classic French manicure .
The technique of applying sliders
Sliders are good because they can be used to create a traditional manicure based on varnish and for a base of gel-varnish. It should be noted that in the first case, the varnish should not contain acetone in its composition, which deforms the film. Manicure gel-varnish with a slider allows the application of the film under the finish layer or gel modeling of nails.
If it is a slider-design for the usual varnish, the procedure begins with degreasing the nails and applying a background color. Picking up the slider of the required size, it is lowered into the water for a few seconds, so that the adhesive base is soaked. After wetting excess water, the slider is gently applied to the nail, getting rid of air bubbles. After the sticker has dried, it remains to apply a fixing coating.
Shellac with a slider-design is carried out in a similar way. After increasing the nails, soak the sticker and glue it on a sticky gel layer. After applying the sculpted layer of the gel, the nails are ground and finished with a finishing coat.
With acrylic coating is somewhat more difficult. After creating an acrylic substrate on the nails, the master covers it with a small layer of liquid acrylic. While this layer is not dried, you need to apply to it removed from the base of the slider. It should be taken into account the fact that the acrylic composition is able to deform the film, so you can not move it from the spot. It remains to wait until the layer of acrylic dries, and cover the nails with an acrylic ball, using driving motions.
As for the timing of manicure socks with sliders, they depend on the type of design. If it is a question of a gel or acryle, then it will be possible to dress with a fashionable manicure for about three weeks. Stickers applied to the usual varnish do not last more than three days.
