Aerography on nails: advice to a beginner master

When most people hear the word "airbrushing", the first thing that comes to mind is drawings on cars or walls using paint cans. Immediately it seems that this occupation is more than large-scale in terms of area. However, experts in the field of nail art have been practicing for many years such a direction as aerografy on nails, which is popular among the fair sex, who are not satisfied with the monotonous boring coating of their nail plates. In addition to the artistic coloring of the client's own nails, it is possible to decorate with designer materials, which are artificial overhead elements with individual painting.

Using an airbrush, you can save on varnishes and paints

Aerography on nails is like women for the speed of execution, the ability to get smooth transitions of hues with a minimum layer of paint. For the economy of material consumption like this method and nail artists. However, you can get a really high-quality drawing only from practicing professionals, since only a great experience allows you to regulate the flow of paint so delicately that on the nail plates almost works of art are obtained.

We check the airbrush when buying

Aerography for beginners on nails, in fact, begins with the acquisition of appropriate equipment. First of all, this is the airbrush itself. Experts believe that it is better to purchase a more expensive Japanese device, which is of higher quality. A good option is the sample Jas 1117, suitable for carrying out fine lines. It gives an output of paint of 0.3 mm and has a container for coloring substances measuring 9 milliliters. In addition, novice lovers of nail art can purchase a Jas 1152 device with a jet size of 0.3 mm and the ability to mount different containers in a volume of 20 to 75 ml. The acquired device must be checked in operation for spraying quality, smoothness of the paint supply, the size of the resulting stain, the absence of material at the tip after the air supply is cut off (for testing, the airbrush is charged with water).

Choosing a compressor

Under the airbrush you need to choose a suitable compressor with a low level of noise (which is important for working with customers!) . At the same time, it must be chosen so that it is suitable for the pressure to be approached by an airbrush (it is required to read the documentation for both units). Airbrushing on the nails is not carried out in highly dusty rooms, because dust particles will get to the manicure through the compressor, reducing its quality. Or you need to buy expensive samples of devices for supplying compressed air with cleaning, which are significantly more expensive and noisier.

Approximate order of work execution

Aerography on the nails is best after a complete manicure. Therefore, the artist-airbrush should have skills in this area. To carry out such work in nail art, varnish diluted to a consistency of milk, or water-based acrylic paints diluted to a uniform state is used. If the customer's own nails are painted, then the base is applied first (usually in the form of a matte varnish).

On artificial nails, you can immediately apply paint or varnish, with a light base layer first, then a few colored ones, on which patterns are made using the stencil. Next, the nail is slightly dried with an air jet from the same airbrush. On it, if desired, are attached sequins, beads, pebbles and so on. After that, all layers are fixed with a colorless varnish. Beginning artists are encouraged to purchase stencils, as doing a drawing with an airbrush on the nail is a very complicated procedure.

Aerography on the nails, the photo of which is presented above, is often an expensive procedure, since for the figure it is necessary to charge the device, connect it to the compressor, change the cans with paint and rinse all equipment after each client, if not after each processed element (in those cases , When the client wants to get different nails).
