Step-by-step instructions for creating a manicure with adhesive tape
Self-manicure with scotch is very simple. To form a picture is best in stages.
- Apply a base to the prepared nails. But note that poorly dried each new coat of varnish can spoil all your efforts, and you have to start all over again. Manicure with scotch does not like to rush!
- Apply a layer of one of the varnishes of a different color or shade you have prepared on the nail plate. Dry it well.
- After that, you can already create an original manicure with scotch tape. Gently glue the stencil from the adhesive tape, slightly smoothing it out, removing the air bubbles. Be sure to ensure that the adhesive mass does not remain on the nail. You can remove it using warm water with soap or alcohol.
- Then, according to the conceived design, a layer of varnish of a different shade or color is applied over the pasted adhesive tape stencil. After it is completely dry, the adhesive tape is removed carefully.
- Uneven edges of the resulting pattern can be brushed with a paintbrush using a brush or, if desired, you can also use the decor. And if, according to the planned pattern, it is not necessary to create new shapes with the help of other stencils, then a lacquer fixer is applied to the nail plate with a finishing layer.
So with your own hands, without visiting fashionable beauty salons, you can create a bright and unique nail art at home.
