Gel polish appeared in wide application relatively recently. Previously, it was used only by professionals. Now it is available to fashionistas all over the world. This coating is particularly resistant and will please those who do not have the ability to do a manicure twice a week. Durable gel will remain intact for up to three weeks. It provides ample opportunities for the realization of the wildest fantasies of the nail art masters. They constantly come up with all the new images and types of design to please lovers of an exclusive approach to manicure.

Flowers on the nails gel polish are created in various ways. Craftswomen with experience use painting with the finest brushes and dots. Now in a fashion different color options and compositions. There are many special gel coatings that help carry out the implementation of various techniques: Chinese painting, flowers in thin lilies, stained glass effect, three-dimensional design with icing sugar, 3d gel, sweet bloom technique, stencil painting and, of course, the popular version of the drawing on wet gel polish.

This type of manicure enjoys such success because of the spectacularity and ease of implementation. The drawing is as lively and natural as brush painting. At the same time, it is quite neat and does not look as monotonous as stencil painting. A unique design is created by selecting the perfect combination of shades for a picture. Colors do not play a secondary role. The future decorative effect depends on their careful selection.

As a rule, they draw patterns on a gel well dried under a UV lamp. This technique differs in that it uses an undried coating. In this case, the first base layer is dried in the usual manner. But the thinnest second layer applied to it is left without solidification. According to him and make painting lacquer companion, and only after the spread of the picture it is immediately fixed.

The application technique resembles a needle drawing on ordinary varnishes. Only for the gel, it is desirable to use the thinnest brush. If there are a lot of colors so that they do not mix, some masters still recommend periodically drying fragments of the pattern under the lamp for at least 10 seconds. For better spreading, you can use a special melting coating, and you can use the usual gel. After a light effect of watercolor drawing, it is well dried under the lamp, and then put a glossy or matte top.

Current trends imply the freedom to choose a design and its color performance.Red, white and pink classic flowers are always popular. However, on lovely fingers bloom and golden, black and even blue buds. The pattern should be chosen according to the length of the nails. For medium length or long marigold, you can choose any design and size of flowers. On short nails, stylists recommend painting small bouquets - the trend of the season - or tiny unpretentious buds. And also the gentle half-distended buds on long vertical legs will look good. Such a design will lengthen and visually stretch the nail plate.

With the help of flowers you can add your standard monochrome manicure or usual french. In this case, the pattern is placed on the side of the nail, or it is decorated with a strip on the end of the nail. You can complement this manicure with the selection of a moon or small accents from rhinestones. A richer and lush design can be used on the accent nail. In this case, they often use a matting top to create a trendy velvet effect.

Fashionable modern nail art does not include the uniform coating of all nails, but the use of different techniques or colors. In this case, you can experiment on your fingers or combine techniques within the coverage of one nail plate. From the main picture will depend on the design themes of the entire manicure as a whole. If you have chosen gentle retrobeketics in the style and coloring of Provence, then polka dots, hearts and the image of the Eiffel Tower will be combined with them. The colors will be a bit muted: pink, delicate green, mint, milky and turquoise.

The design of roses in a classic naturalistic image allows for bright and rich colors. Monograms, lace and rhinestones look good in addition to this pattern. Flowers perform in red, white or dark colors with rich greens. The background can be white, black, purple or chocolate. Gilding and metallic rubbing will also be appropriate in this version of nail art.

For holiday or holiday manicure, you can choose the most exotic and luxurious flowers in a variety of designs. Their design is complemented with rhinestones, bouillons, glitter and shimmer. Flowers can be performed as a schematic and uncomplicated, and carefully outline. In addition to the romantic pattern, you can put dots in the form of peas or draw bows. A more extravagant performance can be emphasized with a moon shade in a contrasting shade or an unusual shape.

An interesting variant of manicure, when one large flower, as it consists of two halves, painted on adjacent fingers. At the same time, the halves do not have to be symmetrical, natural naturalness in the image is welcomed. In a wet way it is possible to draw not only roses, but also other flowers: lilies, orchids, sakura. Such nail art is harmoniously combined with almost all the techniques from amber and lace design to rubbing and broken glass. The “raindrops” technique will add greater naturalism to the drawing. With its help, it creates the effect of fresh dew that has fallen on the petals of a revealing flower.

• The thinnest brush or wooden stick with a sharp end. Professionals usually choose a zero size brush. Beginners can do without expensive tools and make a brush for themselves from a regular bottle with used varnish.
• Base transparent coating to protect the nail and better apply the gel on the surface of the nail plate.
• Top protective layer in glossy or matte format.
• The basic color of the gel polish and one or two shades of choice to create a pattern. Varnish is worth choosing, not saving on quality.From its structure will depend on the type of picture, and the work itself will be easier.
• Cotton swabs, coating correction products, napkins.
• Additionally, to create a design, you can use shimmer, rhinestones, foil.

Design in the form of flowers looks harmonious with any option, although it is preferable to choose a round or oval shape.

Next, make the surface of the nail smooth using a special nail file. Degrease if you applied a nourishing cream or oil: the main coating will fall better. Apply a transparent base on the entire nail plate. Well dried in the air. We lay out on the working surface all the necessary tools. You can start painting roses on a wet gel polish. Detailed instructions will help draw a beautiful flower step by step.

• Apply the first main layer of the gel and dry under the lamp.
• When creating the second layer and drawing, we work with each finger separately, as the pattern blurs quite quickly. Apply a thin second layer of the same color and work already on it without drying.
• Using a fine brush, wand or needle, you can draw rose petals in a contrasting tone. We make each petal from the center closer to the edge with short semicircular commas. In this case, each of them will turn out a little more than the previous one. Between them we leave the distance for spreading.
• When the coating begins to creep apart, we dry it under an ultraviolet lamp. Then apply a topcoat. An interesting manicure is ready.
