Foam manicure (Bubbles nails) with air bubbles, soapy, voluminous. Photo how to design nails

Introduced last year, manicure with foam bubbles conquered the masters and the fair sex. Foam manicure (bubbles nails) creates an amazing and unique texture, harmoniously combined with other types of techniques. Combining showiness and ease of implementation, design has become a popular trend in 2020.

Bubbles manicure is unique in a wide range of textures similar to natural ones.

Using this method, you can get various visual effects on your nails:

• mineral;
• reptile skin;
• sea ​​foam;
• lunar surface;
• fish scales;
• soapy or air bubbles.

To create each effect, you need its own set of materials and a color palette of gel polish. Combines their use of ordinary soap foam.

Monochrome foam manicure - bubbles on nails

Bubble manicure can only be performed with materials that require curing in UV and LED lamps. Drying of gel polish occurs due to exposure to the light of the lamp with the release of heat. Conventional varnishes dry outdoors when moisture evaporates from the material. Applying foam to this type of coating does not allow it to dry out.

A monochromatic manicure, as a rule, is understood as covering the nail plate with gel polish of the same shade or shades of similar tone. Pastel colors are perfect for everyday wear, while bright colors will add personality to the look. Such designs are considered the most simple, therefore, suitable even for beginners.

The creation of a bubble texture takes place in several stages:

1. On a previously prepared surface of a natural or simulated nail (made of artificial materials), the first layer of colored coating is applied and dried in a lamp.
2. Using a top with no sticky layer, cover the colored cover and bake in a lamp. This step is necessary to give the surface a gloss. It distributes the foam easily for a distinct pattern.
3. To create a bubbly surface, paint the nail with a second coat of colored coating. It is recommended to wring out the brush to apply a thin layer.
4. A still wet nail is covered with whipped foam in advance, and only after that it is sent to the lamp to dry.
5. Remove foam residues from the surface with a lint-free cloth dipped in a liquid for removing the stickiness.

Nail service specialists recommend using dense gel varnishes for the foam technique. The severity of the effect depends on this characteristic of the material. You can use a top instead of a second layer of colored coating. The transparency of the topcoat creates a bubble pattern without distorting the shade of the varnish.

To create lather, it is recommended to use soap compositions that do not leave a greasy or lime trail. Most often, craftsmen use dish detergent or shampoo. The size of the bubbles depends on the intensity of whipping the solution. The densely whipped consistency leaves a fine-grained trace reminiscent of a mineral (pumice stone), sea foam. Large bubbles predominate in light (translucent) foam. They leave a texture reminiscent of lunar craters, reptile skin, scales.

Foam manicure with rub

Rubbing is the most common design option in foam manicure. A manicure made using the gradient technique with a smooth transition of colors looks especially stylish.To do this, use two or more shades of this powder with similar density characteristics.

An incredibly wide range of materials allows you to experiment with different combinations. The snakeskin effect is achieved through a combination of black lacquer, chrome rubbed in and large bubble foam. When used as a base white varnish and finely ground "Unicorn" powder, the end result will resemble a mermaid tail (fish scales), sea foam. There are two ways to apply it.

Step-by-step instructions for the first method:

1. Application of the main color coating.
2. Top overlap without sticky layer.
3. Rubbing in with an eye shadow applicator (for lack of a finger).
4. Securing with top coating.
5. Painting with a thin layer of varnish (top), applying foam.

Manicure in the second way involves applying a rub in after creating a layer with bubbles. It is carried out according to the following scheme:

1. Drying colored coating.
2. Create gloss with top.
3. Application of the second layer of gel polish (top) without drying.
4. Formation of foam texture, polymerization.
5. Rubbing over the texture.
6. Securing with a topcoat, drying.

The last point is necessary to fix the rub on the surface of the nail and protect it from abrasion.

These designs look most impressive on medium and long nails. A short nail plate does not allow reflecting all the overflow and beauty of the result obtained. A similar texture can be created using cat's eye gel polish in various shades. It is applied to a black base and, using magnets, a highlight is formed. To give a bubble pattern, the surface is covered with a transparent top without stickiness.

Textured foam manicure with texture

A bubble manicure creates a rough surface on the surface of the nail. Bubble indentations can cling to hair, clog with cream or soap. Most women prefer not only beautiful, but also the most practical designs.

If the design is too rough, you can gently smooth the surface with a fine-grained buff. Then apply a layer of topcoat. The number of layers depends on the desired effect.

You can give the opposite effect using gel paint without a sticky layer. This material has a thicker consistency than gel polish, does not need to be fixed with a top, and is resistant to abrasion. Bubble traces (craters) will have a pronounced and delineated texture. This material is produced in a wide range of colors.

Foam manicure with rhinestones

The easiest way to diversify the foam design is to use broths, rhinestones, stones. This type of decor is readily available, easy to use, has a wide range of shapes and colors. The location of the rhinestones or the whole composition depends on the general idea of ​​the manicure and individual preferences. A manicure made with bubbles along the entire plane of the nail can be supplemented with single rhinestones of various sizes, located in a chaotic manner.

When exposed to sunlight, their refraction will create a constant flicker effect. The composition, consisting of a set of rhinestones, stones and broths, is appropriate in designs where only a part of the nail is occupied with a bubble pattern, or on a nail that is completely free of roughness. Craftsmen often use a similar move, leaving one or two nails of one hand to create an accent.

Table of materials used for fixing the decor:

You can replace thick gel with a mixture of acrylic powder and base coat. Along with gels, such a composition is capable of qualitatively fixing massive structures.The nail has an arched architecture, so it is more difficult to hold the composition with a liquid consistency. Nail service specialists recommend to carry out the decorating procedure in stages. First of all, the material selected for the fastener is applied to the intended location of the decor.

Having completed the layout of several elements, you can grab the result in the lamp by intermediate drying. It is worth considering that the shine of rhinestones and stones fades when fixing compounds hit their surface. Therefore, it is necessary to work with great care and precision. The broths are completely impregnated with the composition (transparent) before application.

Bright manicure with bubbles

A bubble manicure is fairly easy to do. There is a misconception that all simple designs cannot be stylish and bright. However, a large number of photos of incredibly colorful bubble designs debunk this myth.

Techniques based on the contrast of gel polishes are very popular. The foam pattern will appear much more clearly if the color of the base coat is diametrically opposite. At home, this method makes it possible to significantly expand the arsenal of designs. It allows you to compose various variations of foam manicure, having in stock a small palette of shades. The rubbing fits perfectly into the described technique. It is applied with rubbing movements on the base coat of varnish and fixed with a top coat without stickiness.

The brightest (neon) colors can be created using pigments. This material is similar in properties to the one mentioned earlier. It is a fine powder.

The application technique is different and consists of the following steps:

1. Base color application.
2. Drying in a lamp (Led - 20 sec., UV - 1 min.).
3. Application of pigment using a brush (fan).
4. Full polymerization cycle.
5. Coated with a tacky topcoat.
6. Removing stickiness with a degreasing agent.

The pigment appears brightest on white gel polish. A prerequisite is that the material has a sticky layer after drying. The powder is not rubbed in, but applied with a brush and spread over the surface. The remains are removed with light sweeping movements. Re-drying is necessary to fix the pigment on the sticky layer. In the absence of a varnish with the required characteristics, you can cover it with a top with adhesion. The use of such compositions ensures the sealing of the material between layers, prevents peeling and chipping.

Design ideas

Bubble manicure in 2020 has become a separate trend in the nail art industry. As mentioned earlier, there are a number of options in which it can act as an independent, full-fledged design in various versions. So, for example, the pattern can be present on all 10 fingers of the hand, or only on some that create an emphasis. Foam design can cover the entire surface of the nail, have a random or geometric arrangement.

Today, nail service masters offer a lot of ideas for combining foam and other existing techniques, namely:

• gradient;
• aquarium;
• French;
• stamping;
• patterns;
• marble.

The gradient can be done by rubbing, pigments or gel polishes of various shades. The aquarium technique creates the effect of sparkling water with bubbles. To do this, when modeling the nail, a foam pattern is created on the first layer of material. A transparent construction gel is then applied to the substrate to create the architecture. In this technique, fimo decor is often used, the shape of which resembles fruit.

The classic version of the jacket can be supplemented with several nails with a bubble design. The design looks more original in which the foam pattern repeats the smile line. When combining such techniques as stamping, patterns (monograms, geometry, drawings), drawing of marble, a pattern of bubbles is applied to the nail fragmentarily.

The location depends on the idea and individual preferences:

• horizontally;
• vertically;
• diagonally;
• along the line of a smile;
• chaotic.

Nail service masters continue to experiment with variations of foam manicure, so this list is constantly updated with new positions. Not every woman has the skills to perform the techniques listed above.

For such cases, manufacturers of nail art products have developed a different decor:

• rhinestones, stones, broths;
• sequins of various sizes;
• marmalade for nails, velvet sand;
• sliders, stickers;
• foil (gold leaf, tear-off, transfer);
• cobweb;
• dried flowers.

The use of the listed products significantly reduces the time for a manicure. A huge advantage of using them is the ability to create an original design with minimal skills.

Over the past 10 years, the possibilities of nail service have advanced significantly. Taking into account the wishes of consumers, manufacturers are constantly improving their products and developing new materials. And the masters experimented with new techniques for their application. This is how a large number of popular manicure techniques arose. Bubble designs have become popular due to their ease of implementation, the ability to embody fantasies and originality.
