Manicure spider web with rhinestones for short nails. A photo

In 2020, different lengths of nails are popular, in particular - short nails... This form is practical in everyday life and allows you to use a variety of technologies in creating designs. On it, you can successfully perform a manicure with a spider web gel decorated with rhinestones. Subject to the technology for attaching rhinestones, the design is worn without damage until the next correction.

General recommendations for the "spider line" manicure

A spider web manicure with rhinestones belongs to the category of simple designs that a novice master can do. It is easy to do it yourself at home with the necessary materials and tools. The technique of working with the cobweb gel is described below in the article. Before starting work (for home use), it is enough to purchase 2 gel colors - white and black.

With their help, in the presence of foil and rubbing, you can achieve unexpected effects when creating simple designs. To work with elastic gel, the length of the nails does not matter. Combinations of fine lines, which are created with the help of "spider web" gel and rhinestones, look spectacular on short nails of the "oval" or "soft square" shape.

Techniques and methods

A spider web manicure with rhinestones will require the purchase of special materials, but some of them, for example, glue for rhinestones, can be replaced with a thick top (base) or a transparent construction gel. The list of must-haves includes cobweb gel.

The quality of the completed design largely depends on the properties of the material and its pigmentation. Modern manufacturers of nail art products make sure to include an elastic gossamer gel in their assortment.

They insist it is durable to wear with only their varnishes and tops as a base and top coat. The veracity of this statement can only be verified experimentally. However, masters know that there are cobweb gels that adhere without chipping and abrasion, even without overlapping with a top.

Materials required to create a spider web manicure for short nails decorated with rhinestones:

Additional tools are required to apply materials. Experienced craftsmen recommend getting a dots. It can be used to apply a "cobweb" and decorate the design with dots, it is also used when installing rhinestones. Each layer must be dried in an LED lamp when creating a design. The fixing time depends on the lamp power.The optimal parameters for use at home are lamps with a power of more than 48 watts.

Master class of black and white spider web with rhinestones

A spider web manicure with rhinestones looks stylish in classic color options - black and white. Therefore, to create the manicure described in the master class, you will need gossamer gel and gel polishes of black and white colors.

Technique of the design with the "cobweb" gel:

1. Before creating a design, you need to prepare the nail plate using a manicure. Treat the nail with a dehydrator and primer, trim the cuticle and apply a base. Since the colors (black and white) are contrasting, it is recommended to align the nail plate with a base before applying them. To do this, after the manicure, the nail must be treated with a soft buff and the base gel must be applied using a leveling technique.
   
2. It is required to lay out color gel polish in 2-3 layers. White varnish is considered difficult to apply and requires more coats. When creating a black and white design, black varnish is applied to 2 fingers, and white varnish to the remaining fingers. The colored coating serves as a background for further decoration with a "cobweb". The first layer of colored varnish is distributed in a thin layer, and on the second, the color is aligned in the area of ​​the cuticle and lateral ridges. Each layer must be dried in an LED lamp for at least 30 seconds. When applying gel polish, do not forget about painting over the end of the nail, which will increase the life of the manicure.
3. Dots or an orange stick are used to lay out the spider gel. With the sharp edge of the tool, you need to hook on the thick gel and lift it up until the thread from it becomes the desired thickness. Then a thread of material is thrown onto the surface of the nail and the stretching procedure is repeated to form the next line. You can break a thin thread of elastic gel with a sharp movement of your hand. When working with a "cobweb", it should be borne in mind that the material will fall on both the nail and the skin around it. Therefore, it is necessary to keep a cotton sponge soaked in a cleanser on hand to clean the surface of the side rollers before placing your hand in the ICE lamp.
4. In a llama, the design must be dried for at least 30 seconds.
5. After drying the lines drawn with the "cobweb", you can additionally decorate the design with dots of gel paint using dots and fix rhinestones. The technique of firmly attaching stones will be described later in the article.
6. After finishing the decoration, the design must be finally dried in an LED lamp for about 60 seconds. and do not overlap with a top.

To make the lines of the gel look beautiful and bright in the design, it is necessary to choose a contrasting background in relation to the color of the gel "cobweb". For example, on a white background of the surface of the nail, black, silver and gold "cobweb" looks elegant. When creating a black-and-white design for short nails, threads of a black "gossamer" are thrown onto a white gel polish and vice versa. Rhinestones for decoration can be chosen in any color.

They can be both colored acrylic and holographic made of glass.

Options in different shades

A spider web manicure with rhinestones, made on short nails, can be created in different shades. Possible options for stylish designs, with brief recommendations for their implementation, are described below in the article.

Summer design option using neon gel polishes

It is recommended to use white gel polish or gel paint as a background for such designs. They are required to be applied in 2 - 3 layers, with each layer drying in an LED lamp for about 30 seconds. With a thin brush, white varnish is applied under the side ridges and the area around the cuticle. Neon gel polishes are applied on a white background in the form of geometric shapes or abstract spots. If several neon shades are involved in the design, then their application is performed alternately, with each element drying for about 30 seconds. in the LED lamp.

Often the techniques of "French manicure" or "moon design" are used to design such designs. White coating and neon colors in all configurations are considered a base layer, which must be covered with a finishing layer and dried in an LED lamp for at least 60 seconds. Then you can start designing with the cobweb gel. Lines of elastic material are applied in the form of straight thin lines or semicircles over neon spots.

After drying in a lamp, the design does not require additional top overlap. The duration of the use of manicure depends on the quality of the elastic gel "cobweb". As a rule, a black “spider web” gel is used for this design.

Gradient in pastel colors as a background for decorating with cobweb gel

Pastel shades can be easily combined in horizontal or vertical gradients. They are performed using a thin paintbrush or a special “comb” brush. A vertical gradient is easier to achieve than a horizontal gradient. To do this, one color should be applied to half of the nail, and a contrasting shade on the other.

Along the line of contact, you need to brush several times with a "comb" brush (it is distinguished by thin long fibers), which will allow the flowers to smoothly mix with each other. The gradient must be dried in an ICE lamp. As a rule, a 2-3 layer gradient is applied to achieve a uniform smooth transition between shades (each layer is dried in a lamp for 30 seconds).

After creating the gradient, you need to overlap it with a top and then apply the pattern with the help of the "cobweb" gel. Geometric designs from the intersection of straight lines look elegant on a pastel background. To brighten up your design, you can overlap the pastel gradient with a matte top. Then the lines of the elastic gel, which retain their glossy shine, will look much brighter.

Contrasting geometric dots design

Simple geometrical designs with intersecting straight lines are made with the help of cobweb gel. For additional decoration, at the points of intersection of straight lines, points of different diameters are put with the help of dots. If the lines do not intersect, then the dots can be set along a straight thin line. Such designs can be additionally decorated with small rhinestones (stones are placed on nails in the amount of 1-2 pieces per nail).

For the white background layer, use a black gossamer gel. Dots on the surface of the nail are made using dots and a thick gel paint of the same color as the “spider line” gel.

Decorating with inlaid rhinestones in the form of beads

With the help of the cobweb gel, you can make not only geometric patterns from straight lines, but also apply the gel in the form of semicircles. To do this, it is necessary to draw the threads of the gel in the form of an arc using a dots or an orange stick. Dots or small rhinestones are placed on this arc, which creates an imitation of beads. To complete the design, it is necessary to perform a background coating. It can be plain or colored, or made in the form of abstraction.

Before using the "cobweb", the background must be completely dried and covered with a top. In this technique, you can make necklace inlays. For this, a large central stone is selected, on the sides of which smaller stones are attached. To make the inlay look impressive, rhinestones are framed with small broths. In this way, graceful designs can be created that look like jewelry.

Matte manicure

To apply the elastic gel, use a matte finish as a background. For the design, choose a gel polish of any color and after applying and drying it, cover it with a top with a matting effect. The coating is dried for about 60 seconds. in an LED lamp and the design is applied using a cobweb gel. After decorating, you can cover the design with a thin layer of matte top to remove the gloss from the gel strands.

However, you can leave it without overlap, then the gloss will accentuate the design and give it brightness, and the manicure itself will be performed in a matte technique. Such a technique as a matte manicure is often used by nail art masters to create inlays from rhinestones. To build a composition of gel "cobweb" and rhinestones, choose a neutral background without gloss. An example of such a decor is described above in the article.

Decor ideas

Foil, kamifubiki, rhinestones or glitter are used as a decoration when using the "cobweb" gel. To fix the decor, a special glue is used, which is distinguished by its high density. In order not to purchase additional materials, you can use a thick rubber base or a transparent construction gel.

Step-by-step instructions for attaching rhinestones to a transparent construction gel:

1. Before attaching the decor, it is necessary to completely complete the design and cover it with a finishing layer. The colored coating with the top must be dried in an LED lamp for about 60 seconds.
2. Using a thin brush or dots, you need to collect a drop of gel or base (it is recommended to put it in a large drop on the palette in advance) and put it in the right place where the rhinestone will be located. Each stone must be worked separately. For example, install the central rhinestone and dry it in the lamp, then install the next rhinestone and so on in turn.
3. Each stone needs to be dried in a lamp for 30 seconds. The drop of gel or base should not be large so that it does not protrude beyond the rhinestone edge after drying (this will complicate the attachment of broths during further decoration).
4. After fixing all the rhinestones, which should be according to the design idea, proceed to the installation of broths around large stones (broths are small plastic or metal balls of different colors, which are used as a frame for rhinestones or as an independent decor). To do this, put a drop of a thick base on the palette and pour broths of the selected color into it. Then, using a thin brush, they are transferred and spread around the rhinestones. The entire structure must be dried in an LED lamp for about 60 seconds.

A prerequisite for an elegant manicure using rhinestones is the absence of a finishing layer over the stones. The rhinestones and broths do not overlap with the top finishing layer.

What can be used as a decor for designs with cobweb gel:

• small kamifubiki of different geometric shapes - round, square or triangular;
• colored broths, which can be plastic or metal;
• "broken glass" foil, which is used to create a background under the pattern with a "cobweb" gel;
• glitter (glitter, sand), which are located between the elastic gel stripes or as a background for a design.

If the decor is used as a background, then it must be covered with a top layer on top and dried in a lamp for at least 30 seconds. A manicure using a "spider web" for decorating with rhinestones is performed on any length of nails. Depending on the selected background, they create designs of different styles - office, romantic, bright. Cobweb gel is used to create geometric patterns and fine lines that are difficult to complete with a thin brush without experience.
