Being quite a fascinating type of design, this technique also has a lot of advantages. For example, there are an endless number of patterns that nail designs with wet gel polish offer. In addition, this type is very simple to perform, and therefore it will be easy for a beginner to cope with it. What is important here is not the accuracy of the drawing or the specials. tool. The main thing is that you have gel polishes that spread well when mixed.

There are not too many application techniques, but the designs for wet gel polish are very diverse and variable. One of the very first techniques was mixing two or more colors of varnishes with each other using nail art tools. Another popular method is when a contrasting shade is applied to the main color coating and with its help a variety of patterns are created. The special beauty of this type of nail design is that it is impossible to get completely identical designs. This means that each manicure is unique and inimitable.

In order to create a design using wet gel polish, videos on the Internet offer a lot of different options. And in these videos you can also see what is required in addition to the varnish itself. These are the tools without which performing the technique is simply impossible. Among them, in addition to tools for classic manicure (UV lamp, scissors, file, etc.), you will also need special devices for applying designs. These are not only classic brushes, but also dots. And some craftswomen use ordinary sewing needles and toothpicks, using such simple devices to create real masterpieces!

How to create a design?

If you want to design your nails using wet gel polish, video materials can be an excellent guide in this matter. Although the basic steps here for all types of drawing are practically the same. So, the first thing you need to do is:

1. Get a manicure by finishing and shaping your nails and removing the cuticles.
2. Remove the natural shine by sanding the nail plate with a special file.
3. Coat the plate with a degreaser, antiseptic, or primer.
4. Apply a thin base coat and cure it in a lamp for a minute.
5. Apply colored varnish and dry the layer with a lamp, and apply a second layer ultra-thinly so that it does not run off.
6. Place a few drops of a different color on an undried layer and randomly shade with a tool to create a pattern.
7. Polymerize the design using a lamp.
8. If desired, you can decorate the designs on your nails using wet gel polish by gluing rhinestones, using pigments, or drawing individual elements when the coating has dried.
9. Apply top coat and you're done!

When working, position your hand with the tool as comfortably as possible so that it does not shake or slip.

Interesting drawings on wet gel polish, videos and photos are presented in huge quantities. For example, using a very thin brush or needle, you can create a pattern that imitates the skin of a reptile. This option can be done using shades that are close to each other and choosing completely different colors.

Another interesting idea is partial coverage. Let some area of ​​the nail plate be unpainted. This technique is most often used to create geometric patterns on nails and is very popular due to its unusual nature. Its distant ancestor is the French manicure technique.

A classic, but no less interesting idea - colored stains on a contrasting background. Despite the fact that this option has been used for a very long time, its relevance does not decrease. In addition, for stains you can use as many shades as you like. This will make it easy to create an unusual and unique design.

Various drawings do not go unnoticed. Of course, only professional craftsmen can achieve the same precision in creating a picture as happens when using special stickers. But even beginners in this matter, who have not yet gotten their hands on it, get very interesting options. A variety of flowers, highlights, even entire paintings or butterfly wings can be created using this technique!

Ideas and nuances

This type of manicure is good because it is suitable for nails of any length: short, medium and long. It is also universal in terms of shape. Both oval and square nails will look especially interesting with it. However, for each shape or length there are its own, most suitable types of design:

• Short nails require full coverage with a pattern. A lone accent somewhere in the corner or in the middle will look incomplete, and there will be a feeling as if something is missing. But if you completely cover short nails (especially square ones) with a pattern, this will draw additional attention to them and complete your stylish look.
• Long nails. In contrast to short-length nails, options with single large-sized elements or with many small ones are suitable for them. The option of partially covering the nail plate is also appropriate here.
• The good thing is that they are suitable for both short and long nails.

As already mentioned, bringing such a design to life will be easy even for beginners. Of course, you shouldn’t immediately try to reproduce paintings by great artists on your nails. Simple design ideas for wet polish will allow you to become the owner of a stylish manicure even if you have no experience.

Give preference to exclusively high-quality coating - otherwise you will not get a good manicure.

For example, what could be easier than creating a spiral by dropping a drop of varnish into the center of the nail and stretching it using a special tool or a simple toothpick? With a little practice, you can paint the queen of the garden, the rose, on your nails in the same way. Also among the simple options are light geometric elements and partial coverage. In addition, beginners can be advised not to use all their nails at once - but to begin with, highlight one of them using this type of nail art.

Advantages and Disadvantages

A lot of advantages make this type of design one of the most attractive. For example, if you do not want to use specialized tools, ordinary available devices are sufficient. Well, you can get a beautiful design even on the first try, which is good news. A truly endless number of pattern options will be another nice bonus.

Of the shortcomings, only one can be highlighted - you need to work quickly and carefully. After all, if the varnish begins to harden, it is unlikely that it will be possible to correct the drawing. We'll have to start all over again. And a hand that trembles at the wrong time can put an end to your efforts.

After studying video materials with the work of wet gel polish masters, following all the rules, you will easily and quickly get a manicure that will become the best decoration for your hands!

In nail design, there are several modern types of manicure:

1. drawing on wet gel polish;
2. stamping, shellac;
3. drawing on a dry layer.

Drawings using wet gel polish have become popular due to their ease of execution and time saving.

The technique can be mastered by both a practicing master and a beginner. They are based on the fact that the layer on which the drawing will be applied is not dried in a lamp. This makes the lines blurry, original and unusual.

To create beautiful designs, it is important to know the order of applying colors and its direction.

Drawings for beginners. Schemes and implementation features

Professionals advise beginners to start with training tips. And when your hand works more confidently, you can start practicing on the model. When performing the sequences and directions of drawing on wet gel polish, the following basic schemes can be distinguished:

• “dots”, “circles”;
• “cobwebs”, “twigs”;
• “stains”, “spirals”, “curls”.

Of these, more complex designs are already combined: “rose”, “butterfly”, “peacock feather”, “marble”, “abstract patterns”, “reptile skin”.

To make drawings on wet gel polish spectacular and bright, it is better to take contrasting colors of varnishes, you can use varnishes with glitter

Before applying, you need to carefully straighten the cuticle with an orange stick. The first color layer is applied to the nail plate and dried in a lamp. You need to paint in a thin layer so that it does not flow under the cuticle and side ridges.

Important to remember! To draw on wet gel polish, you need a good colored base so that the nail plate does not show through it.

To do this, you need to apply 2 preparatory layers of varnish and dry in a lamp. And only the third layer will be working. The number of layers depends on the manufacturer. Some high-quality varnishes can achieve the desired effect with one coat.

"Dots", "circles"

Dots are applied to the wet layer of gel polish with a dot. Depending on the order of application and size, different patterns are obtained.

By combining colors you can achieve spectacular results. Small dots and circles in pastel shades look beautiful on a black background. The stone effect is obtained by applying large dots to a wet layer. The edges flow beautifully, and you get a smoky edge, like a shadow cast on a stone.

"Cobwebs", "twigs"

“Cobwebs” should be carefully applied with a thin brush. The thinner the line, the more attractive the drawing will be.

On a mother-of-pearl, iridescent background, a black cobweb looks organic. Drawing branches on wet gel polish begins with applying dots in any order.

You can draw without dots, like a cobweb, by first drawing the twig itself, and then placing a dot and pointing it slightly to the side to achieve the desired shape.

“Smudges”, “spirals”, “curls”

It is also possible to apply the finishing coat over a wet layer. In this case, a thin layer of topcoat is applied to the dried white color, from under which the nail plate does not show through. The required colors are laid out on the palette.

Pay attention! Using a palette saves the amount of varnish used.

The drawing on wet gel polish begins on one side, with lines going diagonally. On the other side of the nail plate, another color is applied towards the first. If the color is too bright, you can dilute it with a top coat.

Also, applying it helps to achieve greater blur if the result is not enough. The lines blur towards each other, you can add several points in the resulting voids. After drying in the lamp, a finishing coating is applied, which is also sent to dry.

To obtain a “spiral,” the nail plate is painted in two colors. The border between them can go anywhere, according to the plan. With a smooth movement of the dot, a line is drawn from one color to another.

If you need to get denser transition lines, you can use a brush from the varnish itself. In this case, the nail is completely covered with one color, while a spiral is drawn with another.

“Curls” are obtained from a line drawn on wet varnish. It is enough to make a schematic drawing on the color border, as shown in the photo below.

"Hearts", "shells"

Drawing “hearts” begins with drawing dots. For a multi-layered shape, you can make several dots of different sizes.

With the thin end of the dot, starting from the top, draw a line through the center of all points. They flow into one another, with the tail of the shape indicated at the bottom. You can make a whole branch of “hearts”.

Imitation of a “shell” can be achieved by semi-circular arrangement of dots on a wet layer. Starting from the edge of the nail, dots are applied with the small end of the dot. With each row their size increases. The longest and most elongated points are located in the center. After it the size decreases.

Painted, complex drawings, their diagrams

Complex designs are obtained from a combination of simple elements. It will not be difficult to master them after practicing with the above schemes.

"Rose"

Rose petals are painted on a wet layer with varnish. As the petals spread, they will become more voluminous and the edges will become blurrier.

Gradual application of the pattern allows you to observe how the rose “blooms”; it is more convenient to regulate the distance of the petals from each other and their bends. The main tone can be used to correct unsuccessful places.

"Butterfly"

To begin with, you can find the insect color you like online and transfer it to your nail.

The silhouette of butterfly wings is drawn over the wet varnish. The inside is filled with the necessary colors in the intended order.

With the thin end of the dot you can add bright details, draw the antennae and body of the butterfly.

Interesting fact! The dost can be replaced with a dental stick, a needle or the opposite end of a brush.

"Peacock Feather"

Using colors characteristic of the bird's tail will give the desired result. The first golden drop is placed in the center. Lines are drawn around it in blue and green colors.

The more shades, the richer the drawing looks. Finally, gold paint is applied, stretched out to resemble feathers.

"Abstract patterns"

The main thing here is to choose colors that combine beautifully. On a black background, it is quite easy to simulate smoke on a wet layer. A thin layer of gel polish is applied to the prepared plate, which does not dry.

Dots of different sizes are placed on it along the trajectory of the smoke stream. In this case, it is more convenient to use a brush; its soft bristles will help distribute and mix colors. Spreading the varnish over a wet layer gives that same smoky effect.

"Marble"

Thin lines of black or silver are applied to the white, undried layer. You can add a little gold. With it, the drawing will look more textured.

Using light zigzag movements of the brush, the colors are mixed. This method will help to achieve the pattern of malachite and other semi-precious stones.

"Reptile skin"

To imitate reptile skin, a symmetrical application order is used. The central row of dots is larger, on the sides there are smaller dots in a checkerboard pattern, making a guiding movement towards the center.

Under pressure from each other, the drops change shape and become angular, which is characteristic of reptile skin.

Possible errors during application

Possible errors	Cause	Elimination
Gel polish does not spread well enough	Varnish is too thick	Colored varnish must be mixed with the topcoat
Blistering of the color layer	Too thick layer of varnish	Applying a thin layer. It's better to apply 3 thin coats than 1 thick one.
Bubbles when applied	The habit of shaking the bottle before use	To mix the pigment, uniform rotation in different directions is sufficient.

Nail design using wet gel polish is one of the most popular types of manicure. This is explained by the relative simplicity and accessibility of the technique, despite which the drawings turn out beautiful and very diverse.

Design features for wet gel polish

How does wet gel polish design differ from other types of designs in terms of ease of application?

• Firstly, this is one of the easiest types of design. Even a beginner can handle it - just watch a few lessons. Not even all types of designs require knowledge of the pattern - many can be applied simply by improvising, and the manicure will look very impressive.
• It is not necessary to apply a design using professional brushes and dots - many people successfully use such simple materials as a needle and a toothpick.
• If the drawing does not come out, it can be easily corrected. After all, gel polish does not air dry on its own.
• The drawings are airy and light due to their slight blurriness. It makes an excellent base for contouring.

How to do it

The technique is one of the simplest, and is accessible even to beginners. In order to apply designs on wet gel polish, you must:

• Have a basic set of tools for applying gel polish to your nails. Depending on the complexity of the drawing, you can use dots, brushes of different sizes and improvised tools.

There must be varnish liquid and spread, but not too much. If the varnish is too thick, it is permissible to dilute it with a liquid topcoat.

• After the materials are ready, you need to prepare your nails for coating. Remove cuticles, sand them, apply a degreaser.
• Next, apply a thin layer of base under the gel polish and dry.
• Drawings on wet gel polish look unusual and interesting due to the fact that they are applied to a layer of varnish that has not been dried in a lamp. As a result, the drawing spreads, and this creates smooth transitions and intricate patterns. Therefore, the colored varnish layer not dried. For convenience, you can polymerize it and then cover it with a new thin layer.
• After applying the first layer, you can begin to create a drawing.

• After applying the design, it is dried in a lamp and covered with a layer of topcoat.

And today, by purchasing special equipment for applying it, you can make a long-lasting manicure at home.

You can perform a manicure using this technique not only with a needle, but also with a thin brush, a toothpick, a sharpened pencil - that is, with anything that is at hand.

• (this is optional).

Below you can see the final result of the “roses on wet gel polish” design done at home - photos of the most common manicure options.

Technique for making patterns with a needle (secrets)

Drawing with a needle or thin stick requires certain skills. Without them, it will be difficult for a girl to create an impeccable and high-quality design.

Advice from experienced craftswomen: it is very convenient to use a self-pencil with a fastening lead. Only instead of a stylus, a needle is inserted. Believe me, applying a drawing this way is very easy. The needle is firmly fixed, and there is no fear that it will slip out of your hands. The second point is that after finishing work, you can screw it into a car pencil and it won’t get lost.

It is best to choose a very thin needle for work, since if the varnish dries quickly, it can leave behind traces with gaps - this will affect the quality of the design.

When working, do not put pressure on the needle. You might scratch your nail. You need to work with it only by pressing lightly.

When making a “rose on wet gel polish” design, the design will work best on the second layer of coating. Why? The first layer may lie unevenly or will not be dense enough.

You only need to work with one finger from start to finish. That is, if you have completely finished the first nail, you can start the second.

When working with diagrams, if they show a continuous line, then the movements of the needle along the nail should be exactly the same. Otherwise, you can easily ruin all the work.

After each drawn detail, you need to wipe the needle on a lint-free napkin. This is important. Otherwise, lint may get on the varnish.

Trying to paint roses on wet gel polish

And in this section, we will actually move on to the practical side of performing an unusual and elegant manicure. We will try to create a “roses on wet gel polish” drawing step by step. For those who are going to do this for the first time, we advise you to practice on tips that can be easily purchased in cosmetics stores.

1. First we prepare the nails. In order for the varnish to last as long as possible, you should not neglect the advice and do everything efficiently and carefully. We file the edges with a file, soften and cut off the cuticle. Using a buff, lightly, without much pressure, remove the top layer, as well as excess shine, and wipe the nails with a degreasing liquid. Apply the base gel polish in a very thin layer, making sure that it does not spread around the edges. Dry under a lamp.
2. Now let's start applying the background gel polish. We dry it with a lamp again. As a background, white and black colors look very impressive and advantageous.
3. Apply the varnish again in a very thin layer. But we no longer dry it under the lamp. And now we use a needle to create small roses using short semi-rounded lines, leaving some space between them. Let the varnish spread a little and dry our beauty under the lamp.
4. At the final stage, all we have to do is cover our nails with stained glass gel polish.

That's all. It turns out that making such a pattern is not at all difficult. Beginners, after a few training sessions, will be able to create real masterpieces.

A woman always has a reason to look unsurpassed. For this, everything must be perfect - manicure, hairstyle, makeup, beautiful outfit. But at the same time, it is not always possible to visit a manicurist in time to get a high-quality nail design. But if you work a little, you can create a beautiful and original manicure yourself using simple designs on your nails.

Where to start - necessary materials and manicure tools

Any quality manicure begins with good nail preparation. How to do this is a woman’s business. If desired, a trimmed manicure is done, and if possible, a special tool (milling cutter) is used.

In order for the nail plate to acquire the base color, you need a coating - varnish, gel polish, gel. But then – this is a creative matter. But it’s still difficult to do without these tools and materials:

At home you can find many improvised tools that you should use to create a design on your nails. For example, a replacement for dotsu is an invisible hairpin or a sewing pin with a different ball-tip diameter.

How do you draw patterns on your nails?

The nail art industry is developing so quickly that it is very difficult to keep track of the techniques for creating nail designs. Who would have thought that the popular method of applying a design to a nail would be water based. But you shouldn’t underestimate the more familiar methods.

You can create patterns on both natural and artificial nails. Learning to draw complex patterns and ornaments with simple tools is not difficult, you just have to have patience.

Using regular tape or foil

The essence of this method is to create an even geometric pattern or figure on the nails. But first, cover the surface of the nail with a base varnish (choose any color that is needed). But it is worth understanding that the main layer will ultimately become the color of the drawing itself.

The design itself depends on how the tape was glued: thin stripes or wide, straight, zigzag, diagonally, or it covers part of the nail, forming geometric shapes.

For manicure, it is better to take masking tape. It has less adhesion to the surface of the nail and will not damage the polish when removed. At the same time, its stickiness will be enough to make a beautiful drawing.

In addition to adhesive tape, they also use special foil tape for design. It is easier to use, since you do not need to monitor the width of the strip. Finished tapes can have different thicknesses, and it is not necessary to remove them. It can become part of the design.

Regular needles

To make a drawing with a needle, you need at least two colors of varnish (more is possible, depending on what kind of design is intended). One is for the base (this layer must be completely dry before starting to apply the drawing), the second and then for painting. There are many options for creating simple but effective drawings. Nail designs made with a needle do not require much time or additional costs.

The following effect on nails can be done with a thin dot tip, but the easiest way to do this is with the sharp end of a needle.

Option for designing nails using a needle and two colors of varnish

The technique of applying a design with a needle is accessible even to those who have never done nail design before. The main feature is to have time to apply a beautiful pattern before the varnish on the needle dries. And if the drawing is done pointwise, then until the drops of varnish dry on the nail.

If you paint with a needle, the line you draw will be thin. You can also use a needle to outline the contours of the design.

Using dots

The result on your nails, if you paint them with dots, will be similar to what is done with a needle. Only using a dot for painting is more convenient - such an amount of varnish is wrapped around the ball of the tip that it does not interfere with the work (it does not roll off in large portions and this way it is more convenient to apply straight lines without “blunders”).

Select the color for the base. The design is applied with a “ball” that is dipped in varnish of the desired color. If you need to change the color, you can simply wipe the tip of the tool with cotton wool or a napkin moistened with nail polish remover.

Thin brush

A thin brush gives you more chances for high-quality nail painting. With its help you can create an unusual floral pattern and neat thin lines. You can especially go wild on long nails.

To start painting with a brush, you need to cover the nail with the main color (white, colorless, red, pink, black, multi-colored varnishes, including gradient manicure). The coating must dry completely. Then the pattern is applied with a very thin brush. You can do this with regular painting brushes, but it is better to use special brushes with nylon fibers. To achieve different effects when painting, you may need other brushes with different thicknesses.

The most convenient way to apply beautiful patterns is with a brush. Its fibers hold enough varnish or acrylic paint to draw a long line without additional addition.

A regular toothpick

A toothpick is a great tool for applying designs to your nails. The technique of applying a pattern with these tools requires care, since a large amount of varnish is wrapped on the wooden base of the toothpick and then rolls off unevenly, which interferes with the work.

Nail decoration can be done on a dried or wet basis. The effect of this will vary.

The toothpick leaves a significant mark on the nail. She is comfortable drawing monograms, flowers, abstractions, etc., but it is almost impossible to achieve a thin line from her.

Using a toothpick, it is optimal to draw large elements, and then draw them with a thin brush. After finishing work, it is better to apply a protective transparent coating.

Using special stickers

Special stickers - stencils - can simplify the work of decorating nails. With their help you can create a wide variety of patterns and effects on your nails.

To use them, color is applied to the nail, which ultimately becomes a design. After this layer has dried, the stencils are glued. Cover with varnish of a different color. When this layer is completely dry, the stencil is carefully removed.

An interesting effect is obtained if you take a gradient manicure as a base option. Decorating your nails in this way will help make your manicure unusual and unique.

You can make a gradient yourself; for this you will need at least two colors of varnish in bright colors and a wide, flat fan-shaped brush. Follow the steps as shown in the picture.

How to draw a simple design on your nails?

You can draw different patterns using different materials. The simplest and most affordable are colored varnishes. But for those who are seriously interested in decorating their nails, it is worth trying other material options.

Gel polish

With gel polish you can create a variety of patterns and effects that will last until you have to repeat the procedure of covering your nails with this material. The technique of painting with gel polish can be different: on an undried coating and on a polymerized one.

The gel polish coating technology is as follows:

Acrylic paint

Acrylic is a very convenient material for nail design. It dries quickly, has no odor, and retains pigment well. Apply acrylic paint to a dried surface (varnish, gel polish, shellac, even on a natural nail). To paint your nails, you will need a brush, preferably one with non-natural bristles.

You can also make a French jacket with acrylic and decorate it with an original floral design. The acrylic painting technique is convenient because if the pattern doesn’t work out, you can simply wash it off with water before it dries and start painting again.

In order for the nail painting to last on the nail for a long time, a transparent fixative must be applied over the design.

Using shellac

Just as in the case of gel polish, you can decorate your nails with shellac using the “wet” or “dried” technique. You can use a French manicure as a basis, which is no problem to do on short or long nails. If your nails are still short, then you should not make the French “smile” too wide. When it comes to the design, it should not be too large so as not to visually enlarge the nail plate.

Using pieces of tulle

An unusual manicure can be achieved if you use simple tulle. Here you can use multi-colored varnishes for the base and pattern. A subtle effect will be achieved if you use a light varnish.

The technique here is simple:

1. Paint your nails with a base color (it will act as the color of the final design). Allow to dry thoroughly.
2. Place a piece of tulle tightly against the nail. Carefully apply a different color of varnish on top of it. Let the layer dry. Remove the tulle.
3. Cover with clear varnish.

Using a piece of tulle with a different pattern, you can get ready-made designs, which is not difficult to do.

Using decorative elements

You can create your perfect manicure without painting your nails, but simply by correctly using decorative nail material. The color base in this design is necessary in any case, but there are no restrictions on the use of decor.

Rhinestones, stones, and foil can give your nails a special shine that cannot be duplicated by any varnish.

In order for the rhinestones to stick well to the nails, it is better to place them on gel polish that has not yet been dried. After finishing the decoration, you can safely dry it. A layer of topcoat on top is required.

There is also a special foil that applies gel polish without a sticky layer or regular dried varnish. To get a design on your nails, you should glue the foil, iron it on top and carefully remove it. The design that was formed on the foil will appear on the nail.

There is another design option with foil. To do this, purchase special thin pieces of foil (they come in different colors). They are laid out on the nail with an applique, and then secured with a colorless varnish or top coat (for gel polishes). Only with foil you can create unique patterns on your nails.

Using droplets and dots

The dot painting technique will help you create an unusual, but painfully simple manicure. This manicure can be done using varnishes of different colors, as well as gel polishes, shellac, and acrylic paints. The tools you will need are dots. An alternative is toothpicks, a needle, a ballpoint pen tip, etc.

Design option for marigold using drip technique

If the varnish has not yet dried, then you should use the drip painting technique. Apply varnish of a different color onto the undried varnish and stretch it with a needle (dots, toothpick). Then they are allowed to dry and coated with colorless varnish.
