Piercing concept
It is a specially made puncture on the nail plate through which a miniature decoration is threaded. One name without showing a photo will not tell about the unusualness of this type of nail decoration. Often it is bright images and novelty that prompt one to resort to this type of art.
The operation is performed almost at the edge of the nail so that the decoration is more noticeable and looks as advantageous as possible. Ideally, the piercing is performed at a medium length. The greatest effect can be achieved on longer nails. This gives the image a special style. Short ones are not suitable for piercings.
Nail design: how to make a piercing
Today in any salon you can order the desired manicure design and nail piercing. Regardless of the type of manicure, piercing is performed using the same technology. It also doesn’t matter whether your nails are extensions or your own. The piercing procedure is performed using a special drill or pneumatic gun in the following sequence:
- First, a hygienic and decorative manicure is done. After it has completely dried, you can begin piercing. Before this, the master must disinfect the drill bit.
- If the piercing is done on your own nails, then they must be additionally strengthened with the help of special means.
- Now your nail plate is placed on the elastic backing with the back side facing up. Drilling can only be done from the back of the nail. To do this, the drill bit must be positioned at right angles to the plane of the nail plate. An important condition: the length of the regrown part of the nail must be sufficient for safe drilling of the hole.
- The craftsman uses tweezers to insert the jewelry into the drilled hole.

Nail design with piercing

Today you can find such an abundance of nail decorations on sale that you can say that any type of manicure can be successfully combined with piercing. Still, we will give some recommendations on choosing a manicure style for certain jewelry for nail piercing:
- For a classic French or moon manicure, a piercing in the form of a small stud earring or pendant is ideal. Since this type of manicure tends to emphasize the natural beauty of women’s hands, you should not use large jewelry. A decor with a small stone, rhinestone or pendant with a bead or pearl is ideal. A glitter piercing like this would also look good on glitter nails.
- A plain manicure can be decorated in different ways. If you want an elegant design, then use one small piece of jewelry with a stone. But to draw attention to the piercing and make it the main accent of the manicure, it is better to choose a larger and more complex piece of jewelry that can be decorated with chains, stones or beads.
- If you have chosen a nail art design, then the piercing goes perfectly with it. Moreover, the choice of decoration is directly related to the design features. More delicate and sophisticated designs require appropriate modest and delicate decorations. And for a rich design with an abundance of decor, you can choose catchy large pendants with chains.
- It is better to decorate a wedding manicure with a delicate, elegant decoration that matches the style of the bride’s entire look. If your manicure doesn’t have a lot of decor from rhinestones, beads, beads and foil, then a modest decoration in the form of a carnation or a pendant with a stone will come in handy. The bride's marigolds with abundant decor should be decorated with a more catchy and complex decoration. Pendants with chains, stones and beads are suitable. When choosing nail art and nail piercing for your wedding manicure, do not forget to take into account the style of the bride and her entire look.
- Fashionable age nail designs also go well with piercings. “Edge” design is a special type of manicure in which the extended nails, in addition to the pointed “V”-shaped tip, are given a dihedral shape with a break along the central axis of the nail. In this case, the piercing is attached to one of the edges of the nail plate.

When thinking about how to decorate, it is advisable to take into account the fact: the richer the decor, the more modest the decoration should look. Exorbitantly elaborate, with an abundance of additional elements, are used by masters in competitions or in special ceremonial settings.
Often preference is given to a specific theme - with comic book, cartoon characters, as well as summer or winter motifs. In this case, appropriate decorations are selected. A completely new trend - with an important event - a wedding, a new addition to the family or a holiday.
