Marine style manicure: step-by-step technology with photos

For a marine-themed manicure, it is not necessary to use thematic attributes - anchors, shells, sailor stripes, etc. Beach nail design means a light, fresh composition in marine shades, which is perfect for the holiday season. A nautical style manicure can be very different, and its main feature is its compatibility with various accessories.

Step 1. Prepare the nail plate for extensions. We install the template and model a thin substrate with transparent acrylic gel (polygel), fix it in a UV lamp for 30 seconds.

Step 2. Remove the template and lay out the extension of the nail bed with camouflage material. Fix it in a UV lamp for 10 seconds.

Step 3. Using colored acrylic gels (pre-prepared colors of pigment and transparent acrylic gel), we perform a simple design of the free edge , laying out the material in small doses, forming separate colors as desired, completely filling the entire substrate.

Step 4. Fix it in a UV lamp for 1 minute. We cover the entire nail with transparent acrylic gel (polygel) and model the shape of the artificial nail, fix it in a UV lamp for 40 seconds and be sure to tighten the arch. After pressing the stress zone, dry it for the remaining time in the lamp. Remove stickiness and file to shape.

Step 5. Remove the dust, degrease and paint with blue acrylic paint (or another color) a combination of colors on the free edge and add a few curls to the jacket area. Cover with finishing gel and dry in an LED lamp for 30 seconds.

Marine style manicure is ready!
