Fimosis for nails will decorate any nail design, bringing brightness, juits and ripeness. Creating on all nails or on several flies of floral or fruit compositions cut out from the chopsticks of FIMO, will not require special skills and does not take much time.
Peculiarities
Small sticks (5-7 centimeters in length and 0.5 centimeters in diameter), from polymer clay are called FIMO. They are very plastic, quickly solidify in air or in UV lamp.
Each wand has inside a unique pattern. Especially popular fruits and berries in a lush color solution.
To create a creative design, you need to cut off a thin piece of clay and, together with the pattern, glue the nail plate coated with the necessary coating. Polymer clay greatly simplifies and speeds up the process of designing nails.
A polymer clay is cut with a very sharp knife. Initially, this process is not quite easy, because the sliced slices should be so thin to translucent. For even greater time saving and for a more accurate manicure, you can buy already sliced sticks that are packaged into small washers. For sale such sets in specialized boutiques and online stores.
Types of images inside
Images inside the polymer clay tubes are a wide variety. Consider the most popular ideas.
- Fruit. Inside depicts a variety of tropical fruits, ranging from classic oranges and lemons, and ending with unusual grapefruits and mangoes. Most often, such a juicy and saturated option is used in the summer nail design versions.
- Berry. Bright raspberries, strawberries, cherry and other berries become an excellent addition to fruit decorations.
- Floral. Various floral buds, the flowers themselves and their sheets give the manicure lightness and freshness.
- Animals. Cute kittens, puppies, chickens and other animals are very popular among the very young fashionistas. Animal images are especially in demand in New Year's Neil Art.
- Figured. Hearts, stars, crowns and smiles never lose their popularity, they love them regardless of the season.
Principles of use
Let us dwell on several advice on the use of Fimo sticks.
- The ideal base for FIMO-design is a transparent or white gel. From the acrylic execution of the manicure is better to refuse.
- The location of the phimo-drawings is in no way normalized. They can be glued and chaotic, and in a certain order.
- It is not necessary to glue the entire picture on the nail, you can use its small fragments.
- The use of colored substrates in manicure is only welcome.
- Design supplement is possible by any other decor elements.
Classic work method
Creating a nail design with polymer clay is a simple and fast procedure. Knowing some nuances and compliance with important rules will make this technique by one of the most beloved.
Cutting the polymer clay tube on thin pieces requires a certain dexterity. Too thick elements of the phimo-design are dried and injured the nail plate. Therefore, first it is better to practice and a little experiment with a stick, which is not sorry. And only then use the necessary wand.
Carnate the decorations made of polymer clay can be both on the natural nail plate and on the nausea. There are several funds for fastening:
- Specialized glue for gluing polymer clay;
- glue for rhinestones or tips;
- Transparent lacquer - design elements are tightly pressed to not dry coating;
- Transparent gel varnish or acrylic - the decor is attached to a small drop of coating, after dried in the lamp.
Examples of design
With the help of different types of sticks, you can create creative and non-repetitive designs. It is quite realistic to experiment both with integer parts of clay and with its pieces.Citrus sweetness
Take the sticks of Fimo with images of lemon, orange and grapefruit. Thin mugs do in half to get slices of citrus. Apply on the natural nail drop of transparent varnish in those places where the decorations will be mounted. No need to observe a certain pattern, let each nail be individual. On drops of varnish, fasten the decorations and give them a good dry. Cove your nails with colorless varnish. You can add even more shine using lacquer with small bright sparkles.
Stitched
The clay from the polymer is a frequent "participant" of aquarium design. Volumetric machinery and brilliant elements are ideal for FIMO. In such design for fastening clay, gel is used.
Prepare nails on all the rules for working with gel varnish. Perform the first stages of extension and coating camouflage gel. At the camouflage with the toothpicks, lay out FIMO-elements, sequins, bulls. Try to make all the decorations combine color and texture. Decor Cover with a thin layer of transparent gel, dry in the lamp. Put several design elements on the finished layer, cover the gel and dry. Complete the manicure using the finish coating.
Tenderness
This design is performed on the basis of French manicure. After creating Franch, decorate the nails with floral and berry firographics, dried and sparkles. Design elements secure transparent gel and dry in the lamp. Complete the manicure of the finish coating.
We do with your own hands
Famosis for nails can be created with your own hands at home. Coloring a stick to your liking and desire.
By creating your own polymer clay ornaments, you can experiment not only with a color solution, but also with a thick stick.
You can buy material in stores for creativity or in stationery.
Strawberry
Take white and red polymer clay, knife and rope. Rock balls, and then make triangles from them. The resulting forms must be connected to a rectangle that rolls out and cut into the same strips. From the data strips, balls are formed, which are then well breathed to color homogeneity. The next step is to rolling the balls in the "sausage".
Then the "sausages" roll up to a smooth transition of the color, the resulting clay is cut into strips. From white clay form a cylinder around which the pink strips are wrapped. The formed triangle is caught on the sides, and the holes insert thin strips of white clay into the holes. The finished strawberry turns red clay, and roll up to the desired thickness.
Citrus
For this technology, you can create any citrus fruit. It will only be necessary to change the color of clay.
Mix white clay with orange to get a gentle orange. Roll the resulting color in the "sausage" with a length of 16 cm. Divide it into 8 parts. Each part and white clay roll in a subtle layer. Orange layers form in a droplet, connect them between themselves in a circle, shifting between drops of white layer. The product is then rolled into a circle, and the cytrus form turns on white and orange clay. It remains only to roll out the fruit to the desired size.
