Refined nail art is an ideal way to show the surrounding femininity and impeccable taste. Liquid stones on the nails - this is one of the ways to create an original refined manicure with a spectacular design.

Liquid stones - what is it?

Many women think that this unique nail art is made with rhinestones. However, in the design of nails, as a rule, only small stones are used, since large and voluminous rhinestones are very inconvenient to operate, create a certain discomfort due to their massiveness and quickly fall off, thus violating the integrity of the composition.

The newest technology allows you to create on the nails with gels and other materials the true works of art with magnificent volumetric stones visually very similar to jewelry made of real gems in gold and silver frames.

Decorating nails with liquid stones was developed by Russian designer, master of nail art Ekaterina Miroshnichenko. It was she who invented to combine several techniques( casting, gel sculpting and building up) into one. Catherine also developed special sets, necessary for work.

The most popular jewelry that modern women want to wear on their nails are rubies, emeralds, sapphires. Using a sculpted gel, you can make a stone of any color.

Advantages and disadvantages of this design

This exquisite nail art has many advantages:

  1. Attractive nail design. You can create original patterns yourself, decorate your marigolds, without making them heavier, with stones of different shapes, sizes and shades and enjoy their delightful brilliance.
  2. Simplicity of execution. Do not think that a manicure can be done only in a beauty salon. After practicing a little and stuffing your hand, you can create beautiful compositions on your nails at home.
    Often liquid stones are combined with casting. If you can not make them, you can use ready-made polymeric pebbles.
  3. Strength and durability. Neil-art is performed using a gel coating, so it lasts much longer than a regular varnish. However, the manicure is fragile enough, so all homework should be done in gloves, so as not to damage the stones.

Along with undeniable advantages, manicure also has a disadvantage - a decent cost of materials and the work of the master. If you do nail art in a beauty salon, then prepare to lay out for this pleasure a pretty sum. So, the design of one nail in the beauty studio will cost ladies on average from 200 rubles. In addition, this is a filigree work, so not every professional will be able to fulfill it.

If you decide to risk and learn how to create liquid stones yourself, then you are unlikely to save, as the set also costs a lot. However, the design looks on the nails so admirably that any costs are dimmed before the spectacular glow of imitation gemstones that will decorate your fingers.

To begin with, you can practice on the simplest design - liquid stones with a jacket.

  2. Fix in an ultraviolet lamp for two minutes.
  3. Apply gel protection to the nails, dry in the lamp( if the instructions do not specify another time, each new layer must be dried for two minutes).
  4. Fine brush and black gel medium-thick lines to draw a pattern on the technique of casting. The basis for the design is the design of the metal frame of any decoration, brooch or ring. On the place left in the center there will be a shining stone of oval, round or square shape.
  5. Dry the nail in a UV lamp.
  6. Apply gilding with foil. Gold or silver foil cut into pieces that are larger than nail plates. The resulting pieces are tightly pressed against the nail plates with a matte side and tear off with a sharp movement. Thus, on the contours there will be gilding( or another shade, depending on what color of the foil was chosen).The nail after this layer should not be dried.
  7. On the free space left for the stone, apply colored gels - yellow and silver. This is done with a fine brush. It is necessary to achieve a smooth transition of one color to another in order to give the stone a natural depth of color. Dry the layer in a UV lamp.
  8. Apply a stain-colored colored gel with a fine brush. The shade depends on what kind of jewel you need to create. For example, a saturated emerald color can be achieved by applying an azure gel on the yellow background;for a beautiful sapphire, the azure is superimposed on a silver hue;For a blood-red ruby, the black substrate is covered with scarlet gel. Dry your nails.
  9. To form the volume of the jewelery on the colored substrate, apply the sculpted gel with a thin brush giving it a hemispherical volume. The gel has a very thick consistency, so one small fingernail is enough for one nail. Due to its unique properties, the gel creates the effect of a sculptural image of a full-fledged stone, which shimmers with the shades of the substrate. This layer also needs to be dried in a UV lamp, so that the liquid stone hardens.
  10. With the help of a basic brush, apply a finishing gel with light movements from the cuticle to the tip of the nail. Secure in an ultraviolet lamp.
