After the Glass Nails andConfetti NailsThe knitted nails are now causing a stir all over social media. What at first glance looks like we accidentally got stuck in our favorite sweater with freshly painted nails is actually a delicate nail design with a 3D look. Knit Nails were a huge hit a few years ago and are now returning just in time for Christmas. You can now find more than 2 million looks and ideas under the hashtag #knitnails. Admittedly, the look is a bit complex and requires a bit of finesse, but we think that all the effort is definitely worth it. And once you get the hang of it, you can unleash your creativity andcreate many beautiful looks. Whether all nails or just one accent nail on each hand, with sequins or rhinestones - there is a design to suit every taste!
And this is how you can make cable knit nails yourself
In principle, the Cable Knit Nails are based on a simple 3D effect - the multiple layers of nail polish make the knitting pattern look as if it had been embossed into the top layer. Probably the only downside to the nail trend is that it only works on acrylic or gel nails. The design can be replicated with conventional nail polish, but the cable pattern remains flat, meaning the 3D effect is completely lost. This is a great trend, especially for those with a steady hand and women who like to experiment with their nails. However, if you're worried about messing things up, you can reach out to a good friend of yours and make it a fun girls' night out!
Materials required:
- Base- und Top-Coat
- LED-Lampe
- Dotting-Tool
- Nail polish in the color of your choice
- Special 3D gel nail polish in the desired color for the braid pattern
Achieving the look takes some practice
Cable Knit Nails Instructions:
- First, file your nails into the desired shape and prepare them for the manicure.
- Then apply a thin layer of base coat and then let it harden under the LED lamp for 40 seconds.
- Paint the nails with the nail polish in the desired color and let them dry again under the lamp for 50 to 60 seconds.
- And now comes the hard part. Use the dotting tool and the 3D nail polish to draw any knitting pattern on your nails and let it harden for 10 seconds. Try to stay calm and take as much time as necessary - only then will your cable knit nails be truly beautiful!
- Now the above step is repeated again and the paint is cured under the lamp for 50 to 60 seconds.
- Finally, apply a thin layer of top coat and let it dry for another 30 seconds. And your knitted nails are ready!
