Manicure with camoufuki: design ideas and tips for implementation

Hygienic and designer manicure is an integral part of the female image, the finishing touch of the bows and a bright accent, allowing to express individuality. The trend of the last seasons is the “invention” of Japanese nail-masters - kamifubuki. Glossy confetti along with bouillons, rub, stickers, stamping, Yuki flakes, rhinestones and foil stripes won the love of both young girls and the lady of the age.

Stylish manicure with kamifubuki is a separate kind of nail-art, capable of creating a festive mood, giving the image playfulness, coquetry and femininity. A distinctive feature of this decor was the ability to look equally fashionable on straight, rounded, angular, almond-shaped nails. Due to its low weight and elasticity, such a material holds up perfectly, especially if it is covered with a transparent top.

Decor for nails shows multicolored circles, flowers, hexagons, stars, hearts, diamonds. Silhouettes and figures may be the most unexpected, but drops and circles are still “running”. Accessories for design are found in the most unexpected variations:

• metallized, glossy and matte;
• with pearl or pearl radiance;
• in one color or mixed color mix set.

Miniature sequins without holes in the center are made of polymers or foils, so their main characteristics are lightness and elasticity. Unlike rhinestones and bouillons, confetti is much faster and easier to fix on the nail. “Paper storm” will be able to combine absolutely with any surface and style: from jacket to negative space, from holiday to everyday. Do not confuse kamifubuki with sequins. The disadvantage of the latter is their fragility due to the presence of a small hole in the middle. Confetti shows a rainbow of play and accurately conveys a festive mood.

Use this technique will turn out and for business dress code, and for the solemn event (eg, weddings, stage performances, bachelorette party).The most winning combinations and at the same time as the immortal classics are the “duets” of black background and gold, pink, turquoise camoufubuki, white background and mirror gray, purple, silver circles with holography.

Figured decorations are especially relevant among the fair sex during the New Year and Christmas holidays, on the occasion of club parties or a wedding ceremony. Often, girls indulge themselves with such a practical decor in everyday bows. The Oriental Paillette is considered an excellent substitute for stamping, nail stickers, and complex acrylic design. Especially this technique is suitable for beginners and those who have never come across acrylic painting, fancy curls, prints and geometry. It gives everyday manicure an original look, solemnity.

Make a festive mood and dilute any image with colorful fragments on the nails. They fit perfectly for any season, harmoniously fit into the style of casual, sporty-chic, romantic boho or rustic, as well as become a fashionable addition to the solemn or carnival image. When you choose bright shades like “red pear” (Red Pear), maca (Valiant Poppy), try to balance the design with golden, orange or black camoufs.

To fill the space on the nails, which are already decorated with a picture or stickers, help kamifubuki different sizes. The main thing is to take the light pigments as a basis. For greater femininity, prefer lace, floral motifs, for an aggressive look, select elements of strict geometric shapes (rhombuses, squares, polka dots, etc.). In case they are applied to the finished drawing, make sure that its contour is not blocked, but only the free space is filled.

Special attention is given to the volumetric design with the use of “Japanese treasures” with the effect of dew drops. The technology of applying the "storm" will not differ from the usual. The main rule of it will be a combination of light and dark details in the same color palette.As soon as the light base layer is dried under the UF-lamp, it is necessary to glue confetti on the well and side (dark) sides, fix the parts with the finish and drop them over the circles, imitating a dew drop. Contrasts in the image will help create small confetti. Use the same palette for cute circles, like the accessories in your wardrobe: bracelets, bags, scarves, pendants, hats.

To work with kamifubuki brought pleasure, and the result exceeded all your expectations, It is necessary to prepare the necessary inventory:

• clear and pigmented gel polish;
• top, base and topcoat;

• primer;
• means for removing the adhesive layer;

• soft nail file and baf;
• cuticle remover tool

• Dots or wooden stick for decoration;
• confetti "storm".

First you need to make a hygienic treatment of the nails, that is, remove or move the cuticle, to create the desired shape of the nail plate. Even the most expensive and luxurious design will not look at "all 100", if the skin of the hands remains untidy. Pay much attention to the selection of lamps for drying the coating. It will be needed during the fixation of the base, pigment and top. Only a quality device can guarantee you a durable and lasting manicure.

Among the models of lamps distinguish UF-or LED device. Sufficient capacity will be up to 40 W, which will definitely not harm the manicure during polymerization, and will protect the skin from dryness. Under the influence of ultraviolet nails dry for about 120 seconds, and for a LED device, 30 seconds per hand is enough.

Manicure with camoufuk is done according to the following scheme:

• as soon as you shape your nails, sand the plate with a buff;
• Treat the surface with a polishing agent;

• in the case of using sliders, stemping, they are applied first, kamifubuki - in the last;
• as soon as the design is ready, “seal” it with a top;
• remove the adhesive layer with a special napkin or product.

When collecting on the nails kamifubuki be sure to consider their diameter, size and location. Sometimes it is enough to arrange in this way only a couple of nails, sometimes - all ten. If it is easier to create a geometric pattern with rhombuses, with hexagons - to repeat the honeycomb shape, then with round, oval, elliptical figures it’s time to lay out a point arc, “candy fireworks”, an inscription or spiral curls.

• apply a primer, degrease the surface;
• apply a base coat, and then a pigment (if you choose a bright tonality, then it is recommended to apply two layers of gel polish);

• also do not place large elements on the bend of the nail, because it will entail their bending;
• for fixing “Japanese sequins” it is better to use rubber-based décor, as it is more dense, has a thick texture.
