Acrylic molding with your own hands

A few years ago, it was considered a special glamor to place under a transparent varnish some intricate pattern, prepared on an industrial scale. And now the flat and monotonous images were replaced by acrylic modeling. This is not only an opportunity to get a unique pattern on each nail, but also a voluminous composition.

Immediately it is worth noting that acrylic modeling for beginners can seem a bit complicated. But after a few training sessions everything will turn out. Very good will help video lessons, which in large numbers can be found on any online video site. Acrylic modeling on nails is a privilege of those who already know some subtleties of skill. But even they often draw sketches or samples on artificial nails-tips.

Acrylic modeling for beginners in the preparatory stage consists of the selection of materials and tools. For further acquaintance with the technique, it is better to choose quality products: a special pointed brush, a shovel, acrylic powder of several shades (2 will suffice for a start), a monomer and a transparent fixer (usually acrylic), glue for nails, glossy paper or foil.

The first tests are done on foil or glossy paper. Then the finished composition or individual elements are transferred to the nail plate. This acrylic modeling involves the use of glue and is done only in the process of training. Comprehending some subtleties of materials, you can experiment on tips.

For those who decided to do a three-dimensional manicure for the first time will be useful advice: try to make a drawing only on one nail (usually a thumb or anonymous). If everything is in order and nothing will interfere, then the acrylic molding on the fingernails of all fingers is for you. Also, do not make a drawing on the entire surface of the nail bulky, tk. It is fraught with chips or cracks in the nail itself. The best location is in the middle.

All three-dimensional constructions begin with balls. To make it, you need to dab the tip of the brush in the monomer, slightly pushing around the edges of the container. Next, the brush touches the powder and it immediately gathers on the bristle in the ball. It is carefully transferred to the future location and given the necessary shape until it has lost glossiness. When it has become matte, then it is given the necessary volume and final dimensions. The main movement is a flattening with a brush located flat and pulling along the length of the entire groove element or groove. Also, the edges of the bristles are bent, for example, a petal.

That the acrylic modeling was a joy at any stage of the skill, it is worth paying attention to the polymerization time of the powder. This is the segment for which you can give the necessary form, i.e. Before the cell hardens. That is why when choosing materials for the first time, give preference to those that polymerize longer.

To get the effect of the transition of one color to the other, the brushes are first dropped into the powder of one shade, and then the other. The one that turned out above will be the bottom one. It often draws the veins or the core of the petals and leaves.

Experienced masters can place several balls at the same time and work with them in turn, manage to do everything necessary. For beginners, it is better to limit yourself to a phased approach. It will be longer, but it's not the time of fulfillment, but the beauty of the final result. After the acrylic molding is completed, the composition is complemented by decorative elements: the convex parts are drawn by the glider, they are applied with glitters, dots, beads, spiders, etc.

The final stage is the fixation of the manicure. You can do with the usual protective coating, but for durability use transparent acrylic options.

Inspiration and skill to you!
