Nail sculpting - grace and femininity in one bottle

Well-groomed nails are a real decoration of a woman. The possibilities of nail design are now endless. Some people like a discreet manicure, others like decoration stones or rhinestones. Modern trends do not stand still. At the moment, one of the most popular types of nail art is nail sculpting.

How to sculpt your nails

This option for decorating nails requires accuracy, patience and certain skills, so sculpting is usually entrusted to specialists in nail salons. But you can try to do it yourself.

To do this, two types of materials are used in the work - acrylic and gel. They help create voluminous images on your nails that look beautiful and unusual. The result of using these materials is not particularly different; the difference is only in the characteristics of the compositions and application techniques.

To prevent the figures from clinging to clothes, they are covered with a thick layer of gel, so the nails become smooth and do not create inconvenience.

To achieve a good result, you need to adhere to certain rules:

• Do not cover the entire surface of the nail with designs. For example, decorative modeling will not stick well next to the cuticle, so it is better to decorate the tips of the nails with it.
• Such figures look very bright, and you shouldn’t cover all your nails with them. It is enough to apply decorations to one or two nails on each hand. For example, you can sculpt the nails of the thumb and index finger, and cover the rest with varnish, which will be in harmony in color with the three-dimensional designs.

• For the sculpting to look impressive, the nails should be long, but not necessarily artificial. It looks no worse on natural ones, but they must first be varnished.
• Gel and acrylic modeling lasts quite a long time. To remove this beauty, the figures can be cut down. This must be done as carefully as possible so as not to damage the surface of the nail.

Particular attention should be paid to the selection of colors. To prevent your nails from looking tacky, it is better to choose two or three pleasant shades.

Nail design with sculpting: ideas

There are many ideas for sculpting nails from which you can choose an option that suits your character, mood and even wardrobe. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the shape of the nail.

For example, floral motifs are very popular in the summer season. Both a delicate chamomile and a chic rose will look wonderful, the main thing is to position them correctly on the nail plate and carefully draw all the details.

Geometric designs do not lose their relevance: stripes, unusual lines and patterns. To create such images, it is best to choose contrasting tones.

Another fashionable solution is images of flying butterflies.

A manicure with lace is considered especially chic. True, applying a lace pattern is not an easy task, but the result is impressive.

In addition, fashionistas often paint autumn leaves, animal figures, ladybugs and entire landscapes on their nails. Some people like to draw futuristic pictures and even pictures of famous landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower.

Nail sculpting: video

If you don’t have enough experience, it’s now easy to find photo and video tutorials that will help you apply any design without damaging the surface of your nails. But it’s worth taking into account the recommendations of experts who do not advise beginners to immediately draw images on their nails. It’s better to practice and draw a flower or butterfly on paper or attach suitable material to tips.

So fashionistas now have a lot of opportunities. Having gradually mastered the procedure of figure sculpting, you can always surprise others with a beautiful, unusual manicure.
