Veil (manicure): how to draw, design

Beautiful well-groomed hands are the calling card of any woman, and therefore they should always look good. A neat manicure always attracts attention, especially if it is made in an unusual technique. Today, in the trend, expressive designs, spectacular ideas, but the main bet should always be made on a neat execution.

The veil manicure is rapidly gaining popularity. In the people there are other names of this technique, for example, "Pantyhose", "Stockings" or "Lace". This design has an unusual expressive and at the same time gentle appearance.

You can make such a manicure both in the salon of a professional master and at home. Fortunately, the modern choice of products for nail art is extremely wide, so even those who do not draw well, it is possible to do a manicure "Veil" with his own hands. However, you should follow some rules: the nails should be the same length and shape, the skin of the hands and cuticles in close to ideal condition. If at work you make a mistake, do not try to improvise by drawing lines thicker. Delete the failed drawing, remake it again. Like all spectacular nail design options, the "Veil" requires perfectly accurate lines, all the flaws will be evident and will negate all efforts. But the reward for work and effort will be beautiful handles with unusual nails.

What is a veilic manicure?

This version of the design appeared recently, but already had time to fall in love with many. Its main feature is the similarity with the dotted flies and lacy ruffins with tulle or nylon. Manicure "Veil" ("Pantyhose") can be made on the nails of any length, moreover, with the help of a pattern, you can visually adjust the shape.

Classic colors

This type of manicure is most often performed in black. At the same time, before the drawing is started, the nails are covered with a beige or pink base, on top of which the same "veil" is applied. To make it seem that the nail is tightened into the nylon, a tricky technique is used: a clear varnish or fixer is slightly tinted in black. The result is a translucent toned coating.

Black manicure "Veil" can be combined with other colors of the base, like pastel, bright or glitter.

A white "veil" is often used for a wedding manicure. The technique is about the same. In combination with various effects, white lace inserts can seamlessly fit into the everyday image.

Speaking of classic colors, it is not necessary to keep in mind that they are the only ones. Many others are also acceptable. The veil in fact can be not only black or white, and therefore, for nyl-design, imitating tulle or capron, you can use different shades. Experiment with dark green, sapphire, bordeaux on a transparent background. Yes, and the background itself can be made in color.

Painting on nails with the help of a usual varnish

Manicure «Veil», the photo of which is presented in the following illustration, can be performed independently at home.

It will require the following:

• Varnish of pink and black colors;
• Manicure dots;
• Thin brush;
• Fixer or clear varnish;
• Applicators (suitable for a jacket or simply straight strips).

Before beginning the application of the decorative layer, perform all the necessary hygiene procedures: treat the edges of the nails, sand the surface with a baffle, treat the cuticle, remove the burrs (if any).

Cover the nails with a pink lacquer, let it dry. Mix 3-4 drops of varnish-fixer with one small drop of black varnish, mix. Cover the resulting mixture with those nails on which you plan to make a veil decor. When the surface completely dries, you can start drawing the picture. Pay attention to how organic and expressive peas look on the veil background. But even those who do not draw very well can do them. You can observe symmetry, and you can do without it, because flies can be located on the veil chaotically.

At the very end, you will only have to cover all the nails with one more layer of fixer and allow it to dry well. The manicure will not last long, but its cost is relatively low, and during the training period it is much easier to manipulate conventional varnishes, rather than gel ones.

Manicure with stamping

This method is one of the most popular. It is relatively easy to learn, it does not require too much investment, but the result is invariably excellent.

To make a manicure "Veil" with the help of stamping, you will need the following:

• Varnishes: black and contrast for the background;
• A plate with a laser pattern resembling a lace or a mesh;
• Plastic spatula;
• Stamp for stamping;
• Fixer.

Everything you need is sold both in sets and separately. In the departments of goods for manicure, you can easily find discs with a pattern suitable for the veil manicure.

After the background coating has dried, apply 1-2 drops of black lacquer on the disc, firmly press the spatula, evenly distribute the lacquer so that it fills the grooves without gaps and rips. Press the stamp first to the plate, then to the nail. Carefully pump from side to side, making sure the pattern is flat. Remove traces of varnish from the skin and cuticles. After drying of the veil layer, the nails can be covered with a fixer.

This method is suitable for conventional varnishes and shellac, only every layer of gel manicure "Veil" needs to be dried under a special lamp.

Stickers and decals

Another simple and inexpensive way to achieve the desired. The choice of all sorts of elements that can be transferred to the nails is unimaginably great. The tactic is the same: cover with a layer of base color, wait for drying, we transfer the pattern, fix it. If you work with gel varnish, before using translations, do not forget to remove the sticky layer.

Decorative elements

Manicure "Veil" can be supplemented with various ornaments. Suitable small half-beads of the same color as the pattern, rhinestones, metal elements like bows and hearts. To nails looked stylish, give preference to the smallest decor you can find. It looks better and is more comfortable to wear.

French, the idea of a special nail

Having learned how to make a veil manicure, you can improvise with different images. It looks very nice, for example, a jacket, when an unusual coating is located only on the tips of the nails.

In order not to overload the image, the pattern can only be applied to some of the nails, and the rest can be covered with a monophonic lacquer.

Time and place

Before you start to master this technique, it will be useful to remember that the manicure "Veil" is appropriate not everywhere. The abundance of dark shades is associated with mourning, and the combination of black and pink can resemble linen. It is hardly possible to consider this idea as good for an examination or interview. Match the manicure and clothes. The "veil" will fit into the evening style and even into the kazhual, but with clothes in the style of a cargo or a sports suit it will look ridiculous. Do not make such a cover and before you go on vacation, the sun-drenched beach is not the place for lace. Do not forget about the moderation in jewelry: this design is suitable stylish laconic rings without large stones.
