Liquid manicure, otherwise called a drop, imitates small drops of dew on your nails. They are usually small in size and have a standard oval shape. And their color is always transparent, in order to convey as closely as possible the natural color of the drop itself.
In some variations of liquid manicure, masters perform it in the form of a pattern of flowing liquid drops. Such designs are drawn either with colored varnish or gel. And the location of the drops is on the smile area or on the nail hole.
Liquid manicure techniques
The technique for performing this manicure is very simple. You can easily make it at home without any extra effort. To do this you will need a base coat for nails, a buff, a file, a special dots tool and colored polish or rhinestones.
First, you wipe the nail well with nail polish remover. Then cover the nail with a base coat and start drying it in a lamp. It takes about 2 minutes to dry the nails.
Then we proceed to cover the nail with colored varnish or gel. And after drying, we proceed to applying liquid droplets.
For this we need the dots tool. A dot is a stick that looks like a thick marker. At the end of which there is a metal pin with a round ball. Dots can be metal or plastic.
With it, you apply droplets to your nail in random order. The most interesting thing about such a tool is that you can adjust the size of the droplets. The main thing here is to dip into the varnish harder and grab more varnish, or a little bit and there will be less varnish.
