For this you need warm water in a glass, black lacquer and an atomizer. We prepare nails, as before with the help of scotch or cream.
We drop a few drops of black lacquer into the water to create the most dense layer and rich color. After its distribution over the surface of the water, you need to take a spray gun, pour a little polishing cleaner into it and sprinkle it onto a black film from a distance of 30-40 cm. As a result, several holes with torn edges will appear on the film. So they need to be transferred to the nails, painted in pink.

What problems may arise and how to solve them?
There are a number of troubles that can overtake inexperienced manicure. For example, varnish drops do not spread over the surface, but roll down. The reason for this can be a large distance from which a drop of varnish is flying, managing to dry out during this time. The distance to the water should be a maximum of 3 cm. There are situations when this condition does not save. For example, if the varnish is old or of poor quality.
Varnish may lie on the nails of uneven lumps. This is caused by too high a temperature of water. In this case, you need to start the manicure again, using colder water. The ideal liquid is room temperature.
It is worth remembering that from the first time an ideal water manicure, most likely, will not work. You need to fill your hand and analyze all the factors of the behavior of chemicals in contact with water and the surface of the nail. Only after that you can expect good results, which will surprise others and will please the owner of a manicure fashionable in the new season.
