• natural brush for applying the main layers number 6;
• corner base brush number 6;
• contour brush- "hair" № 2.

To place the stones in a decent frame, buy a tear-off foil of golden or silver color. To simplify the drying process and high-quality hardening of the coating, you can also purchase a special UV lamp. Without the use of ultraviolet rays, you will have to wait long enough after each staining stage until the varnish coat is completely solid.

Best of all, "jewels" look on long nails. So you can first go through the procedure of their extension using acrylic. If you are satisfied with natural marigolds, polish their surface before starting work, otherwise the paints may spread. To develop the necessary skills, first practice on nails that are easy to remove, for example, pasted.

Liquid stones on nails: a master class from professionals

When performing a manicure, fix each layer by placing a finger under the UV lamp for 2 minutes.

1. Dip the corner brush into a white gel and proceed to staining the tip of the nail plate, as in French manicure. Then apply a fixative.
2. Take a "hair" brush and, having typed a black gel, paint a selected pattern on your nail (for example, a peacock feather, a flower or a brooch) with a picture of a place for a round, square, oval or diamond-shaped stone. On the free space you can draw patterns-frames.
3. For the purpose of gilding or silvering, separate from the foil a part slightly larger than the size of the nail. Press the piece with the matte side to the nail plate and sharply tear it off. After applying the foil drying is not required.
4. Place for the stone, marked with contour line, cover with yellow and silver tinting gel so that the colors smoothly replace each other.
5. With a hair brush, apply a stained glass gel that repeats the reflection of the selected stone. For example, an azure color can be placed on an emerald base, red is needed for a ruby, and light brown is for a amber.
6. Again using a “hair” brush, gently shape a spherical stone with a transparent gel designed to create volumetric jewelery on the nails. This material has the properties of a magnifying glass, so the stone will begin to sparkle and shimmer with shades of the base.
7. To prevent a manicure from spoiling quickly, cover the nails with top gel with a basic brush.
