Tips for drawing straight lines in nail art

As people's living standards continue to improve, more and more people are beginning to care about their appearance. As a result, various beauty projects have gradually become popular. Manicure is one of them. Whether on the streets or in the alleys, all kinds of nail salons can be seen everywhere. Of course, if you don’t want to go to every store to do manicures, you can also buy some materials and do manicures at home. So, what skills do you need to master in order to draw straight nail lines?

1. Material selection

Which glue is better for drawing lines?

(1) Nail polish: It has high fluidity, is not diluted enough, has a loose color, and is prone to floating glue.

(2) Acrylic paint: It is easy to peel off when painted on nails. It is very thick and not smooth, and may cause bubbles. If you must use it, you can first add a drop of water to the acrylic paint to dilute it, stir it a few times with a toothpick, and adjust the concentration according to the desired purpose.

(3) Paint glue: It is easy to operate and produces rich and bright colors.

Conclusion: Painted glue is the best choice for manicurists to draw lines.

2. Choose tools

What nail art pens are needed for drawing lines?

The following pens are mainly used to draw lines. From left to right, they are drawing pens, medium and long line pens, and short line pens. Different pens are selected for different lines.

(1) Short line pen: Suitable for drawing short lines and patterns. It is a basic pen for drawing lines.

(2) Medium line brush: The bristles of a medium line brush are relatively longer and are suitable for drawing long and straight lines.

(3) Line drawing pen: suitable for drawing finer lines.

3. Operation precautions

(1) Fulcrum: Manicurists usually use their little finger as a fixed fulcrum. Please note that you cannot use the customer's fingers as a fulcrum, as this will not only affect the customer's comfort, but also easily affect the final effect due to the shaking of the customer's hands.

(2) Applying glue: When drawing thick lines, apply a little more glue, and the amount should obviously exceed the tip of the pen. When drawing thin lines, apply a relatively small amount of glue, just enough to cover the tip of the pen. Be careful to take an even amount and avoid glue dripping.

(3) Angle: When drawing straight lines, the tip of the pen should be basically perpendicular to the nail surface to ensure that the line is straight enough.
