Drawing on nails is an extremely exciting process. However, in order to achieve a high level of skill, a girl should be prepared for the fact that she will have to constantly experiment, mastering new drawing techniques and materials that can be used to create them. And over time, each of you will be able to become a real master who, in creating a design, will focus exclusively on your own creativity and imagination. And our nail designs for beginners will help you achieve those same results. For greater convenience, we will also provide you with step-by-step diagrams for their implementation.

Schemes of drawings with a needle

Beginners can draw on the nail using such improvised means as a needle, nail polish brush, tape or toothpick. You can also experiment with acrylic paints and a brush. Let's start with the first option - easy drawings with a needle.

To do such a manicure, you will need several varnishes of various shades and a regular needle. Please note that when choosing a color, you should take, if not contrasting, then the most different shades. Otherwise, the patterns on the nails will merge.

1. Cover your nails with a clear polish to protect them from possible damage from the needle.
2. After it dries completely, apply a varnish of the chosen shade, which will serve as a base and set the overall tone for the manicure.
3. Depending on which image you have chosen, place several dots or draw lines on the still wet varnish.
4. Using a needle, make a pattern by carefully mixing varnishes together or, conversely, by drawing clear lines.
5. After complete drying, cover the finished manicure with a base.

Using varnishes

Simple designs on nails for beginners can also be done with varnish, choosing, in addition to the base, a special product with a thin brush. True, this option has a significant drawback - a beginner may encounter some problems directly in the process of painting on nails.

After all, most products have a fairly long brush, which is not very convenient to work with without at least some skills. And in order not to constantly harm your nails with acetone, repeatedly washing off the designs and applying them again, it is better to practice on an artificial nail or even a piece of paper.

The step-by-step instructions for painting nails with this polish are extremely simple and unpretentious. You will simply need to dip the brush into a bottle of nail polish of the chosen color and apply the desired pattern. Don't forget to apply a base coat in a contrasting shade first.

The easiest way to use this method is to make drawings in the form of flowers, hearts or lines.

Tape drawings

Scotch tape is another universal tool that we use everywhere in the household. So it is not surprising that over time our women have found use for it in creating designs.

When starting to do a manicure using tape, prepare polishes of two different shades and a clear coat. Nail designs for beginners are performed step by step using the following technology:

1. The first step is to apply the base coat.
2. After it has completely dried, a stencil of the desired shape, cut from tape, is glued.
3. Next, apply a varnish of a different shade and wait for it to dry completely.
4. Finally, apply a transparent base.

What’s interesting is that girls prefer to do manicures in the “geometry” style this way. But for French in all its interpretations, this method may well be useful.

Painting with acrylic paints

Another popular method used to create simple but extremely beautiful patterns is painting with acrylic paints. This method of creating nail designs for beginners is no more difficult than painting with varnish. And for some it’s even easier and more convenient. And to make sure of this, we offer you schemes for creating a pattern with acrylic.

Manicure “Twigs”. Can be done with both yellow and green paints. Do it step by step in the following order:

1. Apply any varnish, the desired “delicate” color.
2. From the bottom to the top corner, paint two curved stripes (branches) with rich yellow acrylic paint.
3. Use the same color to paint small leaves on each branch.
4. Paint the middle of each leaf with a lighter shade of paint.
5. Apply clear polish to seal the design on your nails.

"Floral" manicure:

1. Cover the nail with a base shade (pearl color will be very useful).
2. Using pink acrylic paint, paint the petals using the dot method, as shown in the figure.
3. Using green paint you need to make leaves and small branches.
4. Add a little white to the pink petals to add dimension to the design.
5. Apply clear coat.

When creating drawings with acrylic paints, it is very important to use a transparent coating, which will not only level the surface, but also consolidate the result. Painting without a fixative will be very short-lived, since acrylic paints tend to be washed off with warm water.
