Choosing a manicure master, clients pay attention to professional knowledge of materials, skills in building architecture, the ability to capture the chosen pattern on the client's nail. Moving objects, such as fire, are considered the most difficult to perform. Professionally executed manicure with tongues of flame looks spectacular and bewitching.

General recommendations for fire style manicure design

Manicure with fire involves the creation of a design, shape and pattern, which visually resembles a flame.

Depending on the chosen technique, the following can be used to perform it:

• sequins;
• pigments;
• foil;
• gel polish.

The patterns of this design go well with any nail shape. The vertical arrangement of the pattern visually lengthens the nail.

Fire design can be combined with techniques such as:

• gradient;
• aquarium;
• stamping.

The choice of palette and combined shades depends on the desired result. For a smooth transition of colors, it is worth choosing shades that are close in tone. With a combination of contrasting gel polishes, the design looks more expressive and catchy.

In the classic version of the fire manicure, several shades of gel polish are used:

• the black;
• red;
• burgundy;
• Orange;
• yellow.

To complete a fiery design, you will need at least three shades of densely pigmented gel polish. The cost of such a set may exceed 1000 rubles. A more economical option is to use pigments. The cost of a small container with one shade varies between 30-50 rubles. This material is a finely ground powder that resembles a powder. Has a wide palette of shades and is applied on a white base. Tack is required to bond the material to the surface.

Techniques and methods

Drawing a pattern even for experienced craftsmen takes time. Therefore, when choosing materials, it is necessary to take into account the speed of their drying, composition and design technique. Varnishes for outdoor drying are solvent-based. When applied to the nail and in contact with air, the composition instantly begins to dry. The varnish is covered with a film and thickens.

This process makes it impossible to distribute the material over the surface in the intended composition. Moreover, when a subsequent layer is applied, the solvent acts on the already dried varnish, impairing the adhesion to the natural nail plate.

Gel polish and other artificial materials for strengthening and modeling nails have a different chemical formula. It allows you to apply and distribute material without fear of drying out. The material is fixed in an ultraviolet or LED lamp by polymerization with the release of heat.

There are three main methods for performing a fire manicure:

• wet technique;
• intermediate drying method;
• use of ready-made designs (sliders, foil, stickers, film).

Each of the methods has its own difficulties and nuances in its implementation and requires more detailed consideration.

The choice of the appropriate method is individual and depends on many factors:

• skills in working with materials;
• artistic ability;
• ownership of tools;
• knowledge of the features of the use of decorative elements.

Wet Technique Design

Manicure with fire in this technique is considered an express design. It does not require drawing clear lines, which means it is available to beginners. The main condition for its implementation is the preliminary application of a suitable shade of gel polish to the surface of the nail. Its wet consistency allows the basic pattern to be spread without difficulty.

In the absence of a gel polish of the required shade, it can be replaced with a transparent one.

There are two main ways of performing a design using wet gel polish:

• gradient technique;
• marble technique.

Stages of performing a fire manicure using the gradient technique:

1. Coating the plate with a base layer of gel polish.
2. Application of selected shades to the varnish surface by analogy with a gradient (transverse lines).
3. Distribute the material with a thin brush, in long, undulating movements in the direction.
4. Result curing in the lamp.
5. Finishing and drying.

After each movement, the brush must be cleaned of material residues. Otherwise the colors will mix, creating dirt unevenly. It is more practical to divide the drawing into two stages. The first pass draws flames. The direction of the brush from the free edge to the cuticle. The second is to finalize the gaps by moving from the middle of the nail to the free edge.

The peculiarity of the marble technique is the mixing of several shades on the palette. Then this composition is applied to the nail using a gradient brush.

A manicure with the depicted fire in marble technique is performed according to the following scheme:

1. Application of the main layer of gel polish.
   
2. Creating a pattern on the palette.
3. Transfer of the composition to the nail, distribution.
4. Refinement with a thin brush (if necessary).
5. Top overlap.

This technique creates a unique pattern and, with the right combination of colors, visually resembles fire. The flat gradient brush picks up material well, holds it before application and gives it away when it comes into contact with the nail plate. It is also convenient for her to remove excess material from the thickening nail. This is possible thanks to the combination of short and thin long hairs.

Intermediate drying method

Performing design in this technique will require the following skills from the performer:

• possession of a thin brush;
• knowledge of the features of colored coatings (density, drying, interaction with each other);
• knowledge of the sequence of execution;
• artistic ability.

The main difficulty is the miniature patterns. A firm hand and well-defined movements are required.

The sequence of the intermediate drying technique:

1. Application of the main shade.
2. Drawing flames with a thin brush (each shade is applied separately).
3. Top coverage.

Each previous layer after application goes through an intermediate stage of drying. This is due to the fact that gel polish or gel paint gradually spreads over the surface of the nail. The edges of the pattern become blurry and lose clarity, which is unacceptable for this technique. As a rule, the lightest shade of fire (yellow) is applied first, and the darkest one (burgundy, brown, black) completes. With the use of pigments, the fire pattern is made with a dense white gel varnish. Against its background, the pigment will look brighter.

The design in this technique is carried out according to the following scheme:

1. Application of the base shade of gel polish.
2. Drawing fire (white varnish), intermediate drying.
3. Application of pigments of various shades.
4. Complete drying cycle.
5. Application of a tacky topcoat.

Stickiness is necessary to fix the pigment, therefore, after drying, the white varnish is not degreased. The powder is applied with swiping movements using any convenient brush.

Matte manicure

Fire manicure is harmoniously combined with matte finishes. The matte effect is achieved through the use of a special top.It can be used as a basis for future designs or for contrast. In the first case, a top is applied to the colored coating to create a matte finish. After that, a design is performed on its surface. With a thin brush, a glossy top is applied to the flame to add shine. As a result, the fire on a matte surface looks even brighter and more intense.

This design can only be performed using the intermediate drying technique. This is due to the need to use both matte and glossy top.

Nail service specialists have found an opportunity to combine wet technique with a matte top. To do this, a popular technique is used in which a fire design is present on one or two fingers of the hand, creating an emphasis. The rest are painted with contrasting gel polish or similar in shade, followed by matting.

Variants with patterns and drawings

Given the small size of the nail plate, it is not possible to place a pattern of fire and any pattern on it at the same time. A more suitable option is to alternate patterns on the fingers. On each of them, you can make various designs of the same theme. Often, nail service masters use various decorative elements in such cases. Nail art manufacturers have made it easy for beginners to create designs and patterns. The stamping technique allows you to apply an impression with one touch.

Required set of tools and materials:

• plate with an engraved pattern;
• stamp for an impression;
  
• stamping paint;
• scraper;
• stemping liquid (solvent).

The selected shade of stamping paint is applied to the plate. Excess material is removed with a scraper, leaving only the pattern. With a rolling motion, the stamp is pressed against the plate. The drawing should be imprinted on its surface. At this stage, you can remove excess elements with an ear stick soaked in a liquid that dissolves the paint. Then the drawing is transferred to the nail plate.

The basis for such a design can be a coating melted using the gradient technique. The smooth transition of black, orange and yellow varnish visually resembles a flame of fire. Using paint for stamping, you can create not only patterns on the stamp, but also full-fledged drawings. The print in this case plays the role of a contour.

For the execution and subsequent use of the drawing in this technique, it is necessary to follow the presented sequence of actions:

1. Transfer the outline of the fire from the plate to the stamp.
2. Using paints of suitable shades, paint with a thin brush. The color should not go beyond the outline.
3. Apply transparent stamping varnish, going beyond the contour by 2-3 mm.
4. After complete drying, gently pressing on the surface of the stamp, remove the pattern with tweezers.
5. We place it on the surface of the nail, press it to the surface with a silicone brush, removing air bubbles.
6. Top application.

Experienced nail technicians recommend using a rubber top. It has a thicker and more elastic consistency, less prone to chips and cracking.

Decor ideas

The popularity of the use of decor in the art of nail art is due to many factors:

• availability;
• price range;
• the possibility of using with various materials;
• a wide range of;
• ease of use.

There are four types of decorative elements that can replace the drawing of flame tongues by hand:

• sliders;
• stickers;
• foil;
• film.

The listed items have similar characteristics. They allow you to expand the variety of available techniques, but not all of them are easy to use.

Features of the use of this decor are described in the table:

To protect the described decor from damage and erasure, it must be covered with a top and dried in a lamp.

Fire manicure can be combined with other decor:

• sequins;
• mica;
• blinks;
• shavings.

Flat and iridescent decor is most often used when performing fire designs in aquarium technique. It is applied to a substrate in shades visually similar to fire and sealed in a transparent material (acrylic, gel, polygel) in compliance with the architecture.

A fire pattern is applied on the surface in any convenient way, leaving open areas with decor. You can paint with a brush, using stamping, or by placing a sticker / slider. Designs with alternating patterns and volumetric decor look original. On each finger of one hand, you can make different designs in one theme.

Most often, craftsmen use the following types of decor:

• marmalade;
• sand;
• crystal chips;
• pixie;
• rhinestones;
• stones.

Each nail, using a combination of patterns and decor with different characteristics, becomes unique. However, there is an important point. Do not overload your hand by applying everything at once. Leave one or two nails solid and free of design. This will unload the manicure and add lightness.

Fashion trends in 2020

The classic version of a fire manicure does not lose its relevance today. This is due to the popularity of the black shade of varnish. The contrast created with the brighter colors is eye-catching. Due to the speed of execution, marble technique is preferred this year. Recently, designs with alternative shades are gaining popularity. Manicurists, experimenting with different colors of gel polish, breathe new life into it.

The tongues of flame made with the use of milky shades amaze with a special charm. Such glossy designs can be stylishly combined with crystal chips or marmalade. They perfectly complement pastel shades. To successfully complete a design with fire, you need to consider the availability of materials, skills, available budget and suitable technique. For beginners, nail service masters are recommended to work out the technique on an artificial tip. This will speed up the technique when performing manicure on natural nails.
