This technique is one of those that has been able to adapt to modernity. Of large flowers and butterflies, almost life size sculpting has become a stylish design that sets the tone for your entire look.

Fashion trends of manicure with modeling in 2018

The internet is still awash with photos of gaudy long stiletto claws or square plates with monstrous acrylic flowers. Oh, those zeros ... "Star Factory", jeans with a low waist, and lurid modeling on nails still will not leave the minds of many masters.

It is high time to notice that in 2018 in the nail art everything fashion trends are held under the auspices of minimalism, this also affected the sculptural decoration of nails. Marigolds are now decorated only with a small in size and not very convex decor, basically one, a maximum of a couple of fingers is allocated for it.

Two kinds - two stars

Artistic masterpieces are molded from acrylic and special gel. If earlier creativity could only be done on artificial nails, now figures are often formed on natural plates coated with gel polish.

Acrylic systems

Realistic decorations are made from acrylic powder mixed with a special liquid called monomer. By mixing powder with monomer, you get a plastic polymer from which you can mold whatever your heart desires! Interestingly, initially such a material was used in dentistry, and then it was widely used in nail art.

It will be very difficult to independently obtain an elegant flower from the polymer the first time. The fact is that it quickly hardens and therefore you will have to act extremely quickly and very, very carefully. Therefore, it is better to contact a certified specialist if you are not confident in your own abilities. All those amazing examples of modeling flowers on nails that you saw on the pages of the masters are the result of diligent study in the courses and long practice.

One of the main disadvantages of acrylic is frequent allergic reactions to the material and its bad smell similar to that felt when a dentist drills a tooth. Also, many are repelled from the "test of the pen" in this field, the duration of the process. On average, it takes 2-3 hours to sculpt.

Volume gel

The masters have been thinking about the transformation of the gel into magical sculptures for a long time, but, as luck would have it, the usual gels for building up in volumetric art did not want to help in any way! Their viscous nature did not want to turn into something shaped.

But more recently, gels that are dense in structure have appeared and lovers of decorations have breathed in new life into the art of modeling.

This material, unlike acrylic, is odorless and you don't have to mix it with anything. To the touch, it looks like pliable plasticine, from which fantasy and skillful hands create nail art. A significant plus is that the gel hardens under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, so the amount of time and attempts in attempts to form an idea from the ball is not limited.

The most popular are the following types:

• 3D nail sculpting gel. It is quite easy to work with its dense and plastic structure and with the help of such a gel excellent examples of volumetric sculpting are obtained.
• 4D gel is more rigid. It is indistinguishable from clay or plasticine to the touch. Volumetric compositions can be formed from a small piece with a grain of rice with a pusher or dots. Some inconvenience is caused by the fact that it sticks to metal and hands, so the tools will have to be moistened with liquid all the time to remove the sticky layer.

Gel sculpting will take a very long time, since each element must be dried separately in a lamp. If you connect two undried petals, then they will combine into one shapeless blot.

However, there are more positive moments in this technique. If you are eager to try to mold your idea yourself, then start with the simplest figures.

Volumetric art in practice: how to sculpt on nails

If you still have nostalgia for the wonderful sculpting on your nails, then you may well show your creative impulses and remain in a fashion win with novelties of wonderful design.

Nail masters in teaching beginners are strikingly unanimous: you cannot spend your first experience with acrylic or gel on nails! Try to build a flower or a butterfly on paper or foil for a start, or attach the material to tips.

We will talk about this today.

Sculpting gels. Types, functions, purpose

The most commonly used materials for volumetric design modeling are gels, as well as sculptural ones. They have the following nuances:

• 3D: differs from the classic gel in a denser and more plastic structure. It is he who is chosen for baguette (frame) modeling.
• 4D: has a dense texture similar to hard plasticine. Modeling with it is performed in tandem with (brush cleaning liquid) for processing (), since the gel sticks to the instrument and hands.
• Sculptural: used to create artificial nails. These materials are viscous, not self-leveling. They require sanding to level the surface, but do not need a topcoat.

Volumetric design: the benefits of using 4D gel

The new generation of gels for nail design, as an alternative to classic acrylic modeling, has many advantages in its work.

1. They allow you to create any shape without hurrying through the details. This material does not dry instantly in the air and does not spread over the nail like water. That is why it is the best "training" product for those who learn the basics of nail art.

4. Plasticine gels create maximum scope for creativity. They can create both ultra-thin and textured shapes (up to 5 mm thick). And the texture itself perfectly perceives any third-party decor:,. 4d nail gels also mix well with each other. And even in one image they are combined with and. One has only to supplement the main design product with jewelry in moderation, so as not to excessively lengthen the polymerization process of the finished manicure in time.

Gel plasticine: features of performing and wearing a volumetric manicure

In order to remain completely satisfied with this product, in the process of creating a design, you must remember and follow several simple rules.

• Depending on the thickness of the figure, each created element of the composition must be separately at least three to four minutes. At the same time, in the process of laying out, utmost care must be taken so that individual parts of the pattern do not merge with each other during polymerization.
• It will serve as an eraser for correcting irregularities of this or that element. The alcohols in its composition will make the gel more plastic. At the same time, you are not limited in the number of correction attempts. Because without baking (even in direct sunlight or a bright lamp on the table) 4-D gel will not harden.
• Maintaining hygiene during the sculpting process will allow you to achieve an ideal result. Wash your hands thoroughly before creating the decor. And treat the fingertips with which you will knead and form the gel with a cleanser. Any foreign particles and dust can spoil the color of the sticky 4-D gel.
• When choosing a tool for the job, choose a hard one, or, as a soft brush will not provide enough pressure to sculpt.

• If your painting consists of gels of different shades, then they should be polymerized in turn. And before drying, do not forget to check if you have painted over the ends of the free edge. Otherwise, your manicure on close examination will not look as perfect as you want it to be.
• A pleasant surprise of the new generation of gels is that they are absolutely not capricious in drying. Even high density the product and the hiding power of the color do not affect the drying quality in the lamp. The manicurists did not report any cases of incomplete baking or other problems.
• When resorting to modeling as an adornment, observe the measure. The abundance of decor will not brighten up your manicure. For especially important event it is more appropriate to resort to such a decor as an accent, for 1-2 fingers.
• Volumetric sculpting is not the best companion for beach holiday or household manicure, even in spite of its strength. If, nevertheless, well, you really want to decorate the nails in this way, arrange the modeling on the nail according to the safety rules.

How to correctly position 4D sculpting and decorations on the nail. Features of stucco manicure on natural nails

• The ideal location of the volumetric decor on the nail is its highest point, the so-called stress zone. It is there that the modeling will last as long as possible. The worst solution is the cuticle area and the free edge, since it is extremely difficult to fix such a composition well there. And the risk of breaking a nail increases significantly.
• It is not functionally justified to decorate the entire surface in this way. nail plate, but only a certain part of it. This will make the design easy and comfortable to wear. At the same time, in order to preserve the compositional unity, it is better to decorate the nails on the remaining fingers with a coating, the color of which will be in harmony with the main character of the image.
• The modeling is combined not only with extended, but also with natural nails. For the latter, it is worth remembering an important rule: a natural nail plate must be "protected" with a layer of decorative material before applying a volumetric decor - or. And before that, as in the case of extension, degrease the nail.

• Fix the finished "picture" for greater strength with a topcoat in accordance with the selected product (or). Do not fill the decor too abundantly - you will smear the contrast of the elements. But a light gloss and blur will not damage the decor. To observe the measure, apply the top with a brush pressed against the edge of the bottle and only on the surface of the figure, without touching other decorations. So you will reliably protect the drawing from mechanical damage. And also make the colors of the selected volumetric gels brighter and more saturated.
• Complementing the 4-D gel with rhinestones or other large decor, do not fix it additionally in the product itself. They are monolithically baked in a lamp. By the way, you can dry the whole hand (s) at once, because the voluminous gel will not lose its shape while you are decorating the rest of the marigolds.

For modeling, materials such as

For special occasions and special occasions, nail art professionals have created an unusual type of manicure - modeling on nails. Any woman wants to capture festive moments in a photo, so she carefully prepares for the event, thinking over everything to the smallest detail. The beautiful image of a lady is not only pretty haircut and wardrobe, but also an irresistible manicure, so women often resort to nail designs with voluminous patterns.

Until recently, volumetric modeling was created only with the help of acrylic, and this is not surprising. Gels for nail extension are not able to form a volumetric pattern, since their structure is liquid and they spread. With the advent of new gels with a dense structure, it became possible to sculpt with gel on nails.

Among the advantages of gel sculpting is the absence of bad smell when building and decorating nails. The material has the necessary plasticity and with its help you can create complex compositions, but one of the most important advantages of such modeling is the magnificent decorative characteristics of the volumetric decor. It kind of glows from the inside and resembles glass figures, and acrylic modeling does not give such an effect.

Gel modeling, in contrast to acrylic, is more difficult to work with... Despite the density of the material, each element of a different color is dried separately in a UV lamp, otherwise the colors may mix. This approach to creating decor on nails is very time consuming.

In addition, the sharp ends of the three-dimensional design can cling to clothing. Another disadvantage of modeling from gel is the difficulty in removing a dense pattern, since it needs to be filed off, like an extended nail.

Basic gels:

• 3D gel, in contrast to the usual gel, has a denser and more plastic structure, with its help you can create voluminous compositions. It is this gel that is used to create the popular baguette sculpting that highlights the pattern or picture with a frame edging.
• 4D gel has a very dense structure, reminiscent of hard plasticine or clay. It is divided into small balls, and then a decorative element is created with hands and metal tools. The gel sticks to the hands and the instrument, so when working with it, you need a cleanser designed to remove the sticky layer.
• Sculpting gel is the main modeling material for creating the architecture of artificial nails. It is more viscous than self-leveling gels. After applying the sculpting gel, the artificial nail is sanded with a file to level the surface, does not require a topcoat.

Modeling on nails with gel is difficult for independent execution, so it should be entrusted to a good master nail service... But if there is a desire, then performing simple compositions, a novice manicure master may well learn to make stucco patterns on his own.

What is required for gel sculpting:

• special brushes;
• dots to form a pattern;
• pusher;
• 3D or 4D gels;
• liquid for removing the sticky layer;

How to prepare your nail?

Gel nail modeling is most often performed on extended gel nails. But it can be done on acrylic nails and covered with gel polish.

Decorating with a volumetric pattern of ordinary varnish coatings is not advisable, since such a manicure is short-lived, and the coating weakly adheres to the nail plates. If gel build-up was performed before creating a volumetric pattern, then you need to remove the sticky layer from the nails, and then start sculpting.

Technique step by step:

		Step 1 Make gel or acrylic nail extensions or cover natural nails gel polish, dry.
		Step 2 Take a small part of the gel with a pusher. Use your hands to form the base of the pattern.
		Step 3 Place the gel on the nail and, using a dots or other metal tool, finalize the element of the drawing, smooth out the sharp corners with a brush dipped in a cleanser.
		Step 4 Dry in a UV lamp for 2-3 minutes.
		Step 5 Repeat the steps with other elements of the picture. If necessary, during the creation of the composition, add rhinestones or other decor.
		Step 6 On the nail with the finished pattern, apply a top coat with a brush, being careful not to touch the rhinestones. Dry in a UV lamp.

		Step 2 Soak a thin brush in liquid and dip into a container of acrylic powder. Twirl the brush so that a small lump forms on it.
		Step 3 Place the lump on the nail plate in the place where the pattern element will form. Using the brush, smooth out the lump, creating a volumetric fragment of the composition. If it dries up, soak the brush in liquid and continue working.
		Step 4 Repeat for the rest of the drawing.
		Step 5 If desired, glue decorative elements: beads, rhinestones.
		Step 6 Acrylic sculpting is usually not topcoated unless it is an aquarium design. But some masters cover the nail plate with a top gel layer and dry it in a UV lamp. Thus, the volumetric pattern acquires a glossy sheen.
