Working principle and advantages of a nail printer

Basic wardrobe for spring. What 10 things to buy and wear for years

This year, designers loved translucent tunics in maxi sizes, sconces for the office, all shades of pink and an orange dress. Last year, polos and all-denim outfits were all the rage. A year ago, in 2021, slip dresses and tie-dye colors. If you chase trends, you may never create a stylish look. After all, while I had saved up for one wardrobe, another had already become popular.

That is why fashionable things need to be able to be combined with the base. The principle is this: one trend in the image, and the rest of the background is neutral. Just don’t confuse business style and b/w colors with a basic wardrobe. These are completely different concepts. The database may also contain bright things. The main thing is that they are classic, simple cut and without unnecessary decoration.

Stylist Elena Galant tells what 10 items of clothing should form the basis of a basic look for spring.

Popular brands

The device can be purchased on Aliexpress, as well as at professional nail art industry exhibitions and in professional stores offline and online. Brands that are already on the market:

• Hollywoodnails;
• Eget HP;
• O'2Nails;
• Wonder Nail Printer;
• Art Pro Nail;

The most popular printer is O2Nails. You can choose the device in different colors. Cartridges are included and can then be purchased separately. A cartridge refilling service is also available.

O2Nails X12.5

The most expensive of the models under consideration, and all because it is the latest development of the company. The printer is equipped with a built-in screen, which allows you to not connect your phone to the printer and go into the application.

Print speed – 10 sec.

The maximum length of the nail is 3.5 cm.

Screen diagonal – 10.1 inches.

The printer body is made of aluminum, which makes it resistant to physical impact.

Dimensions – 39.7*32.3*67.5

Weight without packaging – 9.64 kg.

The printer package from the manufacturer includes all the necessary items to get started: - printer with power supply, cartridge for 800 images, 7.5 W LED lamp, basic gel polish, white print gel, cuticle stickers, top coat, holder for tips to make a test print.

The cost of this model from the official distributor is 87,890 rubles.

O2Nails M1

Another model from the O2Nails brand, but more budget-friendly. The concept of budget in the case of printers is, of course, relative, but this option costs a little less than 40,000 rubles. This printer is not equipped with a screen, but it is easy to control through a special application for Android or iOS.

The printer comes with a cartridge for 250-300 images.

Print speed – 20 sec.

The maximum length of the nail plate is 32 mm;

The body is plastic, and the printer itself is small, especially compared to the X12.5.

Dimensions 16*10*13.9 cm.

The printer weighs only 0.5 kg, which makes it easy to carry, for example, when visiting a client. The model is available in several colors – pink, white, orange, turquoise, purple – this allows you to choose a device that will fit perfectly into the interior of your salon or office.

M1 can be charged using a power bank, which makes it completely autonomous and not tied to a location. Prints on 1 nail in one go.

Eget HP

The main advantage of Eget, which users note, is that it is able to print an image on 5 nails at once, which means that the procedure for designing both hands is reduced. Not least in the list of advantages is the “filling” of the printer, which is assembled on the basis of HP, a manufacturer of office equipment and printers, among others.

Housing – plastic

Dimensions – 43*28*25 cm.

Weight – 3.5 kg.

The cartridges you insert into the printer are ordinary ones - you can buy them at any office equipment store. This means that you don’t have to wait for delivery from the manufacturer if the paint suddenly runs out.

But this advantage also conceals its main disadvantage. Manufacturers of special inks for printers claim that they use a special safe composition that does not harm the skin in any way. Regular paint from the hardware store is not as safe.

The printer is controlled using a computer on which special software is installed.

Art Pro Nail V9

Chinese made printer with touch screen. The presence of a display allows you not to connect a phone or laptop and work directly. The dimensions of the model are impressive – 42*60*30 cm and a corresponding weight of 16.7 kg.

Art Pro Nail V9 is installed in beauty salons or on islands in shopping centers. High printing speed – 15-30 seconds, allows you to serve customers quickly and without loss of quality.

Case material – plastic.

More than 500 templates are stored in the device’s memory, but you can also use your own images. When purchased on the official website, the printer comes with a starter kit for printing about 1000 nails.

Printing is carried out 1 finger at a time.

Loose long shirt in white

A basic white shirt for spring should be the simplest - without darts, not fitted, a simple cut. You can even buy it in the men's department. There's nothing wrong with that. After all, shirts of the stronger sex are often made as unisex, and their quality is much better than in women's collections.

Another piece of advice that stylist Elena Galant gives is to choose an elongated model. Let the shirt be 15-20 cm below the waist. This is the optimal length for layered looks, that is, something between a short top and trousers or culottes.

Neutral black tank

Elena Galant advises purchasing a regular black T-shirt for any season. Leave the cashmere model for winter when it’s cold outside. But you can safely take out a cotton T-shirt in the spring. It will be an excellent base for layered looks and will suit both a shirt and cardigan, and a jacket and blazer.

A little secret from Elena Galant - the stylist wears a white shirt half unbuttoned. This way the silhouette is visually stretched, and the waist becomes narrower. But not everyone can afford to expose their body - after all, there are moral principles. But if you wear a neutral black T-shirt under your shirt, the look will immediately become stylish and impressive.

White running shoes

According to Elena Galant, white sneakers are indispensable shoes for spring. Choose the simplest model, without unnecessary decor and prints. And it will definitely decorate all your looks - both elegant and more sporty.

Just keep in mind that the sneakers must be leather. Otherwise it will be very difficult to care for them. Sneakers are inferior to sneakers in this regard. They are more difficult to clean. And in early spring it will be cool in such shoes.

Nail design printer: advantages and disadvantages

The machine procedure has many advantages:

• hand painting requires a lot of time and effort. The machine version is applied in minutes;
• Any kind of image is reproduced with photographic precision. This is not always available to even a very experienced master;
• very wide choice of designs. The catalog of Eget or Nail devices includes many samples. At the same time, the catalog can be replenished with any collages and ornaments in any color, which provided the technology with positive reviews;
• This model is an expensive pleasure. Especially for home use, but in beauty salons it quickly pays for itself, as it allows clients to save time. The productivity of the device is much higher, the ink consumption is very low, and the cartridge capacity is very high, so the purchase pays for itself in a few months;
• some models can serve several clients at once;
• It is allowed to apply the image to several fingers at once or only to one.

Of course, this useful invention also has disadvantages:

• at home it does not pay off. So this is an option for salons after all;
• machine design does not differ in individuality - here you can only use ready-made images. It’s not for nothing that machines are sometimes called stamp printers, although the latter operate using a different technology;
• The devices are not widely used and many consumers simply do not know about their capabilities.

Black straight trousers

Elena Galant advises all women to decide on their ideal model of black trousers. Perhaps it will be long or short, with or without tucks. The main thing is that the trousers fit you perfectly. And then they will become an indispensable base in the wardrobe.

Application technology

The procedure is simple and can be completed in ten minutes, with most of the time spent drying the preparatory and fixing layer.

1. First of all, the nail plates are treated with a primer - it guarantees high durability of the image.
2. Then they are coated with a special composition that is sensitive to ultraviolet radiation.
3. Select an image from a catalog or load a picture into a printer to print on nails.
4. The fingers are fixed in a special device to prevent displacement and inserted into the device.
5. The drawing has only a rectangular format, so sometimes part of the image ends up on the skin. To avoid this, put on special rubber caps.
6. After finishing printing, you need to wait 2-3 minutes for the varnish to polymerize and cure. For reliability, the nail plates are covered with a protective layer of varnish.

Coat-robe to suit your color type

It is impossible to live without a coat in spring. It is warm, cozy, and the images are feminine. According to Elena, the ideal model is a coat-robe. It can be worn both to the office with elegant looks, and with sneakers on a day off.

All that remains is to decide on the color. It is advisable that the coat be of muted shades so that it can be easily combined with other clothes. But you don’t have to limit yourself to black and gray. Take a closer look at shades of purple, pink or blue. Such coats can also become the base of your spring wardrobe if they suit your color type.

Polka-dot dress

Stylist Elena Galant does not agree that the sheath model should be the basic dress in the wardrobe. Over the past 5 years, she has compiled almost 2000 images. And she didn't wear a case in any of them. But a loose black dress with white polka dots – dozens of times.

Light flowing textures are universal. They are suitable for work, theater, walking. If you put a belt on such a dress, you will create an elegant look. Add sneakers for a more relaxed outfit. You can wear a dress solo in warm weather. And if it’s windy outside, you can always put a sweater on top.

Powder turtleneck

A turtleneck is the base for any layered looks for spring. It should be thin, soft and muted in color - gray, pinkish or brown. Stylist Elena Galant notes that if you take good care of your turtleneck - dry clean it, wash it on a gentle cycle, then it will last you 4-5, or even more years.

Black biker jacket

Elena does not agree that a leather jacket is a thing for a special occasion. Yes, if it's red or royal blue, it may not be worn with everything in your closet. However, the black version is a classic. The stylist calls such a biker jacket a lifesaver. When there is absolutely no time to come up with an image, a black leather jacket will definitely save you.

The perfect skirt for your figure

Large comfortable black bag

The example of the bag that Elena shows is not ideal. It has bright gold hardware that may not match with every outfit. In addition, the bag is made in a simple style. And this requires a certain dress code. However, for Elena it is a base, since her style coincides with the design of the bag.

The stylist advises all other women to choose the simplest possible black bags, preferably with silver fittings and a simple design. And such a model should not be too small. After all, it should fit, at a minimum, the most necessary things - phone, keys, passport, lipstick, mirror and work documents.

So, a basic spring wardrobe is not about trends. In it you should collect those things that will serve you for years and that you can easily combine with each other. Take note of the tips from stylist Elena Galant and be the most fashionable this spring.

Nail printer design

A nail printer is a printing device for applying an image to the nail plate. You can connect a keyboard, monitor and computer mouse to it. In essence, this is an ordinary printer with its own software that allows you to control the process of transferring the image to the surface of the nails. The built-in image catalog contains more than three thousand ready-made designs for every taste. Many devices have the function of adding new pictures. These can be either photos from the Internet or portraits of your loved ones. Thanks to the presence of automatic and manual settings, you have the opportunity to experiment and show your imagination by decorating each nail with your own pattern.

As a rule, a nail printer is purchased for use in nail salons, and not for home use. The average price of this device is 40-50 thousand rubles. Thanks to fast service and relatively low design costs, the flow of customers wanting to see the miracle printer in action is significantly increasing.
