Nail Stickers: Nail art for artificial nails
Nail stickers are currently all the rage and offer an easy way to quickly jazz up artificial nails. Whether you're a fan of subtle designs or eye-catching patterns, there's something for everyone. In this article, you'll learn all about tips for the perfect nail art manicure and the latest trends.
What types of nail stickers are there?
There are two main types of nail stickers: self-adhesive and water-soluble stickers. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, which we will examine in more detail below.
Self-adhesive nail stickers: Self-adhesive nail stickers are easy to apply and adhere directly to the nail. They are available in many different colors, patterns, and sizes.
Application and tips:
1. Prepare the nail as usual and apply a color gel / Shellac if desired.
2. Gently remove the sticky layer so that the sticker doesn't lift up at the end.
3. Choose the appropriate sticker for each nail and carefully peel it off the backing paper.
4. Position the sticker on the nail and press it on firmly.
5. Fold the protruding part of the sticker around the edge of the nail and carefully file it down.
6. Seal the sticker with a clear finishing gel.
Water-soluble stickers (see section “Nail Art Tattoo”): Nail art tattoos are ultra-thin designs that can only be removed from the transfer film with water. Their thin material allows them to be perfectly adapted to the nail.
Application and tips:
1. Prepare your nails as you would for self-adhesive stickers.
2. Apply a thin layer of base gel or work the nail art tattoo directly into the color gel. Each layer must be completely cured!
3. Place the sticker on the nail using tweezers and press it on gently.
4. Seal the entire nail, including the sticker, with a clear finishing gel.
Tips for the perfect nail sticker manicure
Preparing the nails:
To ensure long-lasting wear, proper nail preparation is crucial. Remove any nail polish residue, oil, and thoroughly cleanse the nail surface. Be sure to choose the correct size stickers for each nail and apply them carefully. Seal the stickers with a clear top coat to protect them from abrasion and peeling.
Trendy designs and inspirations:
Geometric patterns, floral designs, and minimalist stickers are especially popular right now. Experiment with different colors and styles to create your own personal look.
Nail stickers are a great way to quickly and easily decorate artificial nails. With the right tips and tricks, you can create a stylish manicure in no time.
