Where to buy threads
Special threads for manicure are sold in professional stores. Among the assortment you can find all kinds of options: thick, thin, metal, with different types of torsion, holographic, glossy and glitter-coated. If you can’t get to a store that sells professional products, you can buy silver and gold threads for embroidery.
Threading technique
Threads are decor, not an independent material, so first the nails are covered with the chosen color. Afterwards, drawings are made on them, if they are intended in the design. To attach the thread to the nail, you need to apply glue in the places where it comes into contact with the plate. The material can be laid out in a straight line, twisted or made into a grid. The work is performed solely within the limits of the master’s imagination.
There are several rules when applying threads:
- Under no circumstances should it touch the cuticle, as it will irritate it with its sharp tip;
- The thread should not reach the edge of the nail by about 1 mm. This rule was created so that after the manicure does not cling to clothes or other things;
- The thread is fixed on the nail with a transparent varnish or made under gel. The second option is more reliable, since the material will definitely remain in place while wearing the manicure.
The use of gold and silver threads on a black background looks especially impressive. You can place two threads vertically on each nail. Or alternate between vertical and horizontal positions.
Methods of applying spider web gel paint to nails
- What tools to use with spider web gel paint.
Using gel web is easy; to make a design you will need to choose from: dots (preferably with a mini ball), a thin brush, an orange stick or gloves (vinyl, nitrile, latex).
- How to apply spider gel and make fine lines.
The thickness of the lines directly depends on the depth of immersion of the dots in the jar; the more composition you capture, the thicker the thread will be. In this case, if you dip the dots very lightly into the gel, the web will grip very weakly and may tear when stretched.
By stretching the gel (pull the dots with paint on the tip away from the can), thinner lines are obtained. Gradually, during the process of creating the design, the thread becomes almost transparent.
- How to use spider web gel paint.
You can apply spider web gel to a finished manicure with gel polish directly on the top without a sticky layer or after removing the stickiness from the finish or color coating.
Spider gel can be left as a convex design, diluted with additional decor, or covered with a top.
Since the web has a modest color palette, you can make it colored yourself. Microglitter, velvet sand, acrylic powder can be sprinkled onto the undried web or with the remainder of the dispersion layer; rub in the mirror rub.

Alternative uses of thread
You can make decor not only from threads, but also with the help of them. We are talking about creating a random striped pattern. For ease of drawing, it is better to use thick dental floss.
To begin with, a regular manicure is done and a single-color coating is selected. Afterwards you need to decide on the color of the stripes on your nails. Next, the thread is dipped into varnish and transferred to the nail, creating a kind of strip. In this way, the entire plate is filled, and individual strips can be layered on top of each other. To diversify your manicure, you can use several colors for decoration, for example, blue and pink.
