Easy drawings
You can easily do easy drawings at home. These are simple lines, dots that form a pattern, as well as polka dots or simple images of fruits or animals. To create dots, you can use a regular match, and to draw monograms, a brush with fine bristles. Use acrylic paints for drawings. It will be easier for you to work with them than with regular varnishes.
Art painting of nails with acrylic paints
Acrylic paints are the most popular material for painting nails, although this design can be done with varnishes and gels. The positive qualities of such material consist not only in the presence of a wide palette of colors and the correct consistency. The main advantage of acrylic paint is the speed of its drying, the ease of correcting the image with water and the inability of the paint to crack or lose shade.
Required materials and tools
To decorate nails with artistic designs, any master needs a set of different brushes, a wide palette of acrylic paints, water and a place to apply a new design. For beginners, it is also recommended to take an example of the required image in order to be able to study step by step the process of creating a drawing, and then reproduce it on the nails. Don't worry about an incorrectly applied stroke; it can be easily corrected with a thin brush dipped in water.
Execution steps
First of all, to create a beautiful design on your nails, you should draw a background. To do this, it is better to take a classic, matte varnish in a pastel shade. A bright color can also be used here, but in this case the entire pattern should be contrasting. Let's consider the stages of performing artistic painting with an abstract design on women's, short nails:
- We clean the cuticle from the nail hole and give the nails the desired shape using a nail file.
- We polish the plate with a special file, degrease the nails with a special product or nail polish remover so that the design lasts a long time.
- We apply a colorless base so that the nails do not absorb the color of the varnish.
- We paint the plate with any bright varnish.
- We wait for complete drying, prepare acrylic paints, brushes, water, napkins.
- We begin artistic painting with the nail on the ring finger. Here the drawing should be the most intense: with white acrylic we draw the contours of the butterfly, put a series of dots, several wavy lines.
- On other nails we draw similar elements, but not exactly the same as on the first nail. It is better to decorate the little finger and thumb only with wavy lines, dots, without butterflies.
- We take a bright shade of acrylic paint adjacent to the background (if the base is soft yellow, then prepare a bright lemon color or other) and apply several strokes that create the appearance of flower leaves.
- We cover the nails with transparent varnish or a special fixative.

Chinese nail painting technique for beginners
The Chinese nail painting technique is very unique. When working with it, first of all, it is necessary to visually imagine the drawing process - petal by petal. To obtain a beautiful result, the nail is covered with one layer, using a special tool, onto which several layers of paint and different colors have been previously applied. The effect is amazing. The pictures seem to come to life on your nails.
Required materials and tools
You will need:
- Acrylic paints. It is preferable that the base of such paints be water and silicone. With the help of such paints, it will be easy for you to draw beautiful designs; the paints are viscous and thick, lay evenly and easily on the nail.
- Brush. It's best to have several, in different sizes. Professionals work with expensive professional brushes, but if you are a beginner who likes to paint nails, a few artificial brushes will be enough for you. There are different types of brushes - brushes, liners, fan brushes, flat brushes and angled brushes. They are used to apply a variety of lines and designs.

It is best to purchase artificial false nails and practice the technique on them, and once you have a good hand, start painting on your nails. Prepare all the necessary materials, you can try to copy the first drawings from pictures, and only then you can give free rein to your imagination.
For example, you can familiarize yourself with the stages of drawing a Chinese rose:
- You will need three colors of acrylic paints: white, black and red, as well as a wide brush. First of all, we dip the brush in red and then in white paint and, using a small amount of water and a palette, shade the paint to obtain pink highlights.
- We make a stroke in the shape of a rounded droplet, lowering the left side. This is the first petal of the future flower.
- Make the second stroke side by side, but slightly higher than the first. This is the second petal.
- We make two more petal strokes of a similar shape, but slightly larger in size, perpendicular to the previous two.
- To complete the flower shape, add a couple more petals in the empty spaces, selecting the required size for them.
- Using a thin brush and black acrylic paint, we outline the edges of the petals and add small strokes. It will be very beautiful if you paint a couple of unopened buds on several nails.
