Nail designs for beginners step by step: simple patterns at home

Simple patterns for beginners

Simple designs on nails that even a beginner can do at home should not have complex designs.

To get started, you should try options such as:

heart (at the tip of the nail plate or in the middle);
flower;
water drop;
snowflake.

The simplest option is a heart. To apply the design, you will first need to completely cover the nail plate with white varnish. To continue working, the base must be completely dry. Then, using red, pink or another bright shade, you can begin to apply the pattern.

Using a toothpick, apply 2 dots, which are then carefully connected, giving the shape of a heart. If desired, it can be completely painted over or left as an outline.

Design for the more experienced

Complex patterns are suitable for those who have experience in creating nail art.

Before starting the main work, you will need to prepare the nail plates. For this purpose, you can apply a stencil with the desired image option on them or cover them with a base color and let it dry completely.

Depending on what you have in mind, you can apply up to 2-3 different colors and shades, but each of them must be dried until completely hardened. Then, if stencils were used, you need to carefully peel them off, then paint over the empty spaces with varnish of a different shade; if not, apply the desired pattern with a toothpick.

In any case, the final stage will be the application of a fixing layer. It is recommended to use regular clear varnish for this purpose.

It is important to apply them no less carefully than the main coating, since a mistake at this stage can ruin everything.

Some manicure options with a pattern can be done simply and easily.

For painting you will need:

gel of desired shades;
glitter (optional);
lamp (UV);
base coat;
protective covering.

You will also need a toothpick or a thin needle for application, a tool that allows you to remove the sticky layer. At the initial stage, you need to prepare the nail plates - the work involves removing the cuticle and polishing.

Then a base coat is applied to the prepared plates (it must dry completely before further work; there is a special UV lamp for this purpose). Then a colored gel is applied - the shade is selected as desired or to match clothes and accessories.

It is important to remember that it does not need to be dried. Using a needle or toothpick, collect the required amount of glitter. They need to be carefully distributed over the surface, but not pressed against it. Excess glitter must be carefully removed so as not to visually spoil the manicure.

The next step is to dry your nails under a UV lamp. To complete the work, you will need to apply a final protective coating, which also needs to be completely dry. You can then use a stick remover.

This option is suitable for any season. It can be used for both daily and holiday use.

Acrylic paints

An excellent design and manicure option is delicate pink and white.

Stages of work:

Cover the plate with a colorless coating (you can use a beige base, which is used for French manicure).

You need to drop a little varnish onto the sponge and then press it onto the nail for 5-7 seconds.
Using a thin brush, you need to apply white acrylic paint and draw any designs along the edges (this could be waves, curls).

Then you need to apply the finishing coat. Additionally, you can use a small amount of glitter.

Technique for applying colored nail polish

So, your nails are the same length and desired shape, can you apply the first coat of polish?
Stop, before you start painting, you need to make sure that your nails are clean and there are no traces of hand cream or other greasy cosmetics left on them. Such products can interfere with the even application of the varnish and contribute to its rapid peeling. To clean your nails, you can use nail polish remover, regular acetone, alcohol, or simply wash your hands thoroughly in warm water and soap, and then dry them well. The varnish will last a long time and will lie more evenly on a completely dry surface.

Applying base coat for varnish

The next step in learning how to paint your nails neatly and beautifully involves applying a basic base to them. The base coat allows the polish to go on smoother and more beautiful, as it fills in all the unevenness and roughness of the nail surface, and also protects the nails from the negative effects of the aggressive components of the base coat.

Usually the base has a transparent color and is applied before the first layer of colored varnish. It contains various useful substances: talc, silk, etc. As a base, you can use a varnish with a strengthening effect - the main thing is that it is transparent and does not affect the color of the main coating. In addition, the base prevents the colored composition from penetrating deep into the nail and giving it an unsightly yellowish tint over time. Therefore, a light or transparent varnish on such fingers will look more impressive.

Finally, comes the most interesting and creative process - painting your nails with colored varnish. How can you paint your nails in the most beautiful, original, correct and bubble-free way?

First of all, you should pay attention to the quality of the coloring agent. Only a high-quality product with a valid shelf life and not diluted with acetone and other means can turn the painting process into an exciting experience. A good polish will stay on your nails for a long time and will not start to come off within a couple of days after painting.

After choosing the color of the paint composition and the intended design, you can begin painting. To do this you need to do the following:

Warm the polish by holding it in your fist or placing it in a warm place. This way the product will acquire a homogeneous consistency and lie smoother, without bubbles.
Adjust the direction of the incident light. For right-handers, it should fall to the left, from above, for left-handers, on the contrary - to the right, from above. The wrong direction of the light will not allow you to determine how the nails are painted - correctly or not, whether there are flaws in the manicure, etc.
It is recommended to start coloring with the little finger, gradually approaching the thumb.

You should not try to paint the entire plate with one stroke - smearing a small amount of paint will cause gaps to appear and will apply unevenly.
You should start applying varnish to the nail from its middle, gradually moving to the base and then to the sides.
How to properly paint short nails with polish? To do this, you need to take a small portion of the coloring agent with a brush and distribute it evenly on the nail plate. If you want to lengthen short nails, then you do not need to completely paint over them from the sides. A video or a detailed photo report can tell you more about how to beautifully paint short nails.
The consistency of the coloring composition should not be too thick, but it should not spread over the plate like water: the thickness should be medium.

In order to paint your nails simply, quickly and beautifully, as experienced masters do, you must always apply two layers of colored coating. It is in this case that the color of the varnish will be more saturated, intense and bright. Each layer should be given time to dry.
If during the painting process the coloring composition gets on the skin, and it is not possible to wipe it off completely without touching the nail, you can remove only the largest strokes. Small ones will disappear on their own during the day if you wash your hands several times with soap and water.

During the painting process, you should make sure that the varnish does not get on the cuticle, otherwise the whole impression of cool nail art will be ruined.
After applying two layers of the base coat, it is important to apply a fixative - it will prevent the beauty from quickly disappearing from the nail plates.
After applying the fixing agent, it is important not to get down to work for at least half an hour - the paint should dry well.

A toothpick is also an option.

Using varnishes of various shades and a regular toothpick, you can create an elegant option.

For work you will need the following materials and components:

varnishes (shades can be chosen independently);
toothpicks (2-3 pcs);
paper napkin;
fixative;
base for the main shade.

The sequence of creating the selected pattern assumes that the base will first be applied and allowed to dry. Then you need to apply the main shade.

There is no need to wait for complete drying. Using other colors, apply the desired pattern using a toothpick. The fixing composition is applied at the end, when everything is dry.

What brushes can I use?

Using brushes, you can create different decoration solutions based on a combination of lines. These can be marine themes, multi-colored compositions of varying degrees of complexity.

There are several types of manicure brushes, the main ones are:

thin (liner);
fan (straight or beveled).

Also, brushes can be of different sizes in height.

They should be selected based on what pattern should be obtained at the end of the work.

Dot designs on nails with gel polish

Flower

On the base varnish we place several dots of acrylic paint so that we get a flower. The points should touch tightly. The center of the flower can be made with acrylic paint of a different color.

Flower with elongated petals

Cover the nail with the main color of gel polish. We put a dot with dot, and then stretch it out so that we get petals.

Rows of dots

Using dotters with tips of different sizes, you can make a series of dots in which each subsequent dot will be smaller than the previous one.
With the help of a dotter, you can make a variety of drawings, the outline of which will be dots.

Shellac

Shellac is a new product, a new generation product. It successfully combines the usual varnish and gel used for extensions.

This combination allows the product to last for a long time, without chips or abrasions. The technique of working with it is similar to creating drawings using the usual method, but to speed up drying it is recommended to use a lamp.

Tips for saving a drawing

To ensure that the beauty of your nail patterns lasts longer, you need to adhere to the following recommendations:

Use high-quality tools and objects in your work.
When applying and choosing a design, focus on the size of the nail plate.
Don't use multiple solutions at once to avoid awkward manicures.
Geometric designs are the best option, suitable for any event.
Be sure to apply the base at the beginning of work and the fixer at the end.

Thus, there are many options for creating an unusual and stylish manicure. For beginners and experienced people, it’s easy to choose designs for any event.

Using gel polish

Gel polish is a nail coating that is very popular. After all, thanks to its use, the surface of the nail is strengthened, so it does not break for a long time. So, a manicure done using gel will last for several weeks without changing its external characteristics. Depending on the manufacturer, there are varnishes with varying degrees of stickiness and viscosity.

With its help, you can draw designs on both natural and extended nails. The gel needs to be dried only using a special device - LED or UV lamp. The first option is considered better because the nails dry within 30 seconds rather than 2 minutes.
