Liquid gems on your nails - a design that mimics the gems. Through the use of special materials and engineering design nail looks like real rubies, emeralds and sapphires. Make a design in the home is not easy, but if you work out, the result will exceed salon.
How did the design?
Nail Design liquid stones came up a few years ago, Catherine Miroshnichenko - Russian nail master, world champion in nail-art. It combined several techniques, including gel capacity, molding and sculpting gel. Master used the contours of the stained gels and skulpturiruyuschie to achieve a clear shape, color saturation and volume.
As a result, she was able to create a three-dimensional nails imitation gemstone that looks very realistic. Solid plus liquid cast stones is that they are bulky and do not deform: due to a sufficient hardness of the material it does not appear dents, fingerprints and other defects.

Which nail suitable?
Initially, liquid rocks on the nails wizard prompts only for owners of extension with gel and acrylic nails. They have sufficient length and density that allows you to design so that it is accurate and durable.
But soon the stones on the liquid nails have become so popular that artists started to change the technique so that it is suitable for natural nails. As a result, today, the design can be done on almost any nails - natural or of extension. The only exceptions are very small nail beds.
The fact that the impressive look liquid rocks no smaller than 3x3 mm. Therefore, to make them too small nails uncomfortable, and if you still perform such a stone, it takes almost the entire nail plate and will look messy.
How do liquid gems on your nails?
How to make a liquid gems on your nails? First, make sure that you have all the necessary materials and tools:
gels
- gel dispersion without protection, which does not reflect light, and do not affect the final form of nail;
- gel or gel ink black with non-oil dispersion, which is required to perform circuits (non-oil dispersion should be to her it was possible to print the foil after polymerization);
- color art gel for French manicure;
- gel stained glass shade of what you want to do the stone;
- sculptural thick gel that does not flow and the volume of which can be imposed.
brush
- angular brush that will need to make a jacket;
- thin brush, which is called "hair" for drawing contours;
- basic brush, tapering towards the end, which you will apply the most layers.
You can take a few basic brushes, if you will do two stones and more colors. So you do not have to clear brush from the gel before applying each new color.
Foil
It is best to take a special tear-off foil for manicure. But if she was not on hand, suit and the usual thin foil, for example, or baking chocolate. Take the golden or silver foil, depending on what kind of stone you will do.
Lamp to dry
It is necessary to quickly dry the gel patterns and volume to achieve complete hardening of the stone. You can use a standard UV lamp or a modern model with LEDs. It will help make the manicure even faster as the gel in it dries, cures and 2 times faster.
Step-by-step instruction
How to make a liquid rocks steps on the nails? To repeat the design, follow the detailed instructions:
Basic manicure
Best of all liquid gems on your nails look great on a low-key basis, for example, on the jacket. If you do not want to do jacket, simple and plain nakraste nails with varnish or a gel, suitable color to a shade of stones. After application of the gel layer in its dry bulb 2 minutes. This is the standard drying time, dry at 120 seconds, if your materials or lamp otherwise indicated.
Protection
Cover the nail plate protective gel without dispersion. Again dry for 2 minutes.
Circuit
His need to do a black gel which is easily applied with a fine brush "by a hair." The spectacular total liquid stones look surrounded by "metal frame", ie patterns. Therefore Draw an oval, circle, or a drop in the middle of the nail, depending on what kind of shape the stone you want. Around him draw designs that will simulate the metal frame. After drawing the contour dry nail 2 minutes.
Foil
Painted on a black outline is necessary to put the gilt or silvered it with foil. To do this, you need to tear off a piece of foil, a little more than the size of a fingernail. Matte side to attach to the nail plate, gently press down, very carefully on black pattern. When you are sure that the foil imprinted sharply tear it off in one motion. The result will be a silver or gold layer on the black contour. After this step, the nails do not need to be dried.

gels
They need to be applied to the contours of the future of the stone. In gold and silver foil must be applied two color gels - yellow and silver. It is important to gently brush to work and to achieve smooth color transitions. This is very important as it will allow to create a volume of stone in the future. After applying the nails need to be dried again in the lamp.
Stained gel
It is necessary to put all the same brush "a hair", to draw the smallest veins and stone structure. There will also need two colors. Their combination depends on what kind of stone you want to recreate. For example, to repeat the color of ruby, you will need gels stained black and red color: the first substrate and the second - for the top layer. To simulate the emerald to do yellow backing and apply to it the azure-colored gel. Sapphire is used to create blue gel and a silver substrate. After application of the stained gel nail must be dried again.
volume
Thick sculptural gel need to impose the base with a brush in several layers, giving the stone to the future shape of a hemisphere. Each layer must be dried in the tube 2 minutes, depending on its thickness.
protection scope
, You need to secure their top-end coating liquid to the stones on the nails and french long held. For its application to use the basic brush, which make neat gentle movements. Stone already hardened, but much to press it is not necessary, so as not to damage the form. After application of the stamp necessary for the last time to dry the nails for 2-3 minutes in the lamp.
Liquid stones on the gel nail polish
Design liquid stones can be repeated not only on the surface of the gel nails, but also on natural nails. It is best to cover them gel lacquer, which will provide enough hard coating. Since its surface is more smooth and slippery than the gel, a place where there will be a stone, you must first sand the buff. Then, the gel will not spread. Otherwise application technique does not differ from that described above.
