Volumetric sculpting on nails amazes with its beauty and grace, but frightens with the apparent complexity of execution. This type of decor really has many nuances. But master the process of creating beautiful volumetric figures even a novice master can do it. What are the features of 4D modeling and how to do it correctly and aesthetically? This is what we will talk about today.

Gels for modeling. Types, functions, purpose

The most commonly used materials for three-dimensional design modeling are gels, as well as sculptural ones. They have the following nuances:
  • 3D: differs from the classic gel in a denser and more flexible structure. This is what is chosen for baguette (frame) modeling.
  • 4D: has a dense texture, similar to hard plasticine. Modeling with it is performed in tandem with (liquid for cleaning brushes) for processing (), since the gel sticks to the tool and hands.
  • Sculptural: used to create artificial nails. These materials are viscous and not self-leveling. They require sanding to smooth the surface, but do not require a topcoat.

At the moment, the development of manicure techniques is aimed at simplifying work with any material. And it is 4D gels that are the type with which it is as simple and clear as possible to work even for self-taught masters. The technique of working with this dense mass that holds its shape perfectly is developed quickly. And the finished figures amaze with their stylish and spectacular execution, no worse than in an expensive salon. In order to create luxurious designs at home yourself, you need to know all the intricacies of gel plasticine. Namely…

Volumetric design: advantages of using 4D gel

The new generation of gels for nail design, as an alternative to classic acrylic sculpting, has many advantages in operation.
  1. They allow you to create any shape without rushing to work out the details. This material does not dry instantly in the air and does not spread over the nail like water. That is why this is the best “training” product for those learning the basics of nail art.
  2. Since the creation process is quite time-consuming, the master doing the modeling will certainly appreciate such a bonus as the absence of a pungent odor. If you need to sculpt fragile elements, it is also convenient that you can make the thinnest parts without spoiling the material. With this approach, the illusion of glass decor, as if glowing from within, is achieved.

3. The newest gels allow you to create jewelry that does not cling to clothing or hair with sharp tips and edges. 4D decor is stronger and more durable, resistant to external influences, and is not susceptible to chipping or color fading. back side medals - the need to carefully and carefully create a dense pattern without damaging the nails.

4. Plasticine gels create maximum scope for creativity. They can create both ultra-thin and textured shapes (up to 5 mm thick). And the texture itself perfectly accepts any third-party decor: , . 4D nail gels also mix well with each other. And even in one image they are combined with and. You just need to supplement the main design product with decorations sparingly, so as not to excessively lengthen the polymerization process of the finished manicure.

Gel plasticine: features of performing and wearing volumetric manicure

In order to remain completely satisfied with this product, during the design process you need to remember and follow several simple rules.
  • Depending on the thickness of the figure, each created element of the composition requires at least three to four minutes separately. In this case, during the laying out process, extreme care must be taken so that individual parts of the pattern do not merge with each other during polymerization.
  • An eraser will serve as an eraser for correcting unevenness of a particular element. The alcohols in its composition will make the gel more plastic. However, you are not limited in the number of correction attempts. Since without baking (even with direct sunlight or a bright lamp on a table) the 4-D gel will not harden.
  • Maintaining hygiene during the sculpting process will allow you to achieve an ideal result. Wash your hands thoroughly before creating decor. And treat the fingertips that you will use to knead and form the gel with a cleanser. Any foreign particles and dust can spoil the color of the sticky 4-D gel.
  • When choosing a tool for work, give preference to a hard one, or, since a soft brush will not provide enough pressure for sculpting.

  • If your painting consists of gels of different shades, then they should be polymerized one by one. And before drying, do not forget to check whether you have painted the ends of the free edge. Otherwise, your manicure, when examined closely, will not look as perfect as you want.
  • A pleasant surprise of the new generation of gels is that they are absolutely not capricious when drying. Even the high density of the product and the hiding power of the color do not affect the quality of drying in the lamp. Manicurists did not report cases of incomplete baking or other problems.
  • When resorting to modeling as decoration, observe moderation. An abundance of decor will not decorate your manicure. For a particularly important event, it is more appropriate to resort to such decor as an accent, for 1-2 fingers.
  • Volumetric modeling is not the best companion for a beach holiday or everyday manicure, even despite its strength. If you still really want to decorate your nails in this way, place the sculpt on the nail according to safety rules.

How to correctly place 4D sculpting and decorations on your nail. Features of molded manicure on natural nails

  • The ideal location of volumetric decor on the nail is its highest point, the so-called stress zone. This is where the modeling will last as long as possible. The worst solution is the cuticle area and the free edge, since it is extremely difficult to secure such a composition well there. And the risk of breaking a nail increases significantly.
  • It is functionally justified to decorate in this way not the entire surface of the nail plate, but only a certain part of it. This way the design will be easy and comfortable to wear. At the same time, to maintain compositional unity, it is better to decorate the nails on the remaining fingers with a coating, the color of which will be in harmony with the main character of the image.
  • Modeling is combined not only with extended, but also with natural nails. For the latter it is worth remembering important rule: before applying volumetric decor, the natural nail plate must be “protected” with a layer of decorative material - or. And before that, as in the case of extensions, degrease the nail.

  • For greater strength, fix the finished “picture” with a finishing coating in accordance with the selected product (or). Do not fill the decor too much - you will blur the contrast of the elements. But a slight gloss and blur will not harm the decor. To comply with the measure, apply the top with a brush pressed firmly against the edge of the bottle and only on the surface of the figure, without touching other decorations. This way you will reliably protect the drawing from mechanical damage. You will also make the colors of the selected volumetric gels brighter and more saturated.
  • When supplementing the 4-D gel with rhinestones or other large decor, do not additionally fix it in the product itself. They will be baked monolithically in the lamp. By the way, you can dry your entire hand(s) at once, because the voluminous gel will not lose its shape while you decorate the rest of your nails.

Now you know about the latest generation of nail decorating gels absolutely everything you need for productive creativity. Beautiful to you and stylish manicures!

Materials used for sculpting are:

The modern nail design industry offers a wide variety of different techniques that can satisfy the tastes of even the most sophisticated fashionistas. Acrylic nail sculpting is a great way to create a truly unique manicure in honor of a special occasion. Spectacular voluminous decorative elements on your nails will attract the attention of others and make your look unique.

Features of sculpting acrylic nails for beginners

Acrylic sculpting got its name due to the fact that the process of performing nail design is more reminiscent of creating a sculpture than painting. To perform it, a special acrylic system is used, thanks to which the manicurist turns his creative ideas into reality.

Acrylic nail designs are usually done using special tips that are attached to the nails. However, recently, masters are increasingly combining techniques, combining gel extensions with elements of acrylic modeling.

The modern acrylic system includes two components - acrylic powder And special liquid(liquid). After mixing these materials, a thick mass is formed that is easy to sculpt. Acrylic has a very high degree of polymerization. In other words, after mixing powder and liquid, the material very quickly becomes hard and durable.

Nail artists use acrylic not only to sculpt three-dimensional elements on nails, but also to create a smile french manicure and to strengthen the nail plate.

When choosing acrylic powder, it is worth considering some nuances:

  • High-quality powder should not spread or crystallize. The material should fit tightly onto the artificial or natural nail plate and be easy to further process.
  • Porous structure acrylic powder indicates that enough oxygen is reaching the nails. In addition, this is the key to the strength and durability of the manicure.
  • Acrylic powder has White color. But if you add special dyes to the powder, you can get any shade.
  • When purchasing an acrylic system, you need to purchase powder and liquid from the same manufacturer.

The technique of working with acrylic is quite simple, but still requires some skill. A novice manicurist should first practice using special tips. Creating a nail design using an acrylic system includes the following steps:

  • Nails should be carefully prepared - remove the old coating, remove the cuticle and give the nails the desired shape.
  • If the design will be made on tips, then you should glue them onto natural nails special glue. Those who like gel extensions can use acrylic modeling after the top coat. The same applies to designs on natural nails.
  • Acrylic powder and liquid should be mixed in the proportions specified in the manufacturer's instructions. The resulting mass rolls into small ball, from which the desired element is formed directly on the nail. To do this, use special tools for working with acrylic.

    All manipulations must be carried out as quickly and accurately as possible, because the material hardens quickly.

  • After the desired result is obtained, you need to cover the nail with a thin layer of gel to ensure the safety of the manicure.

Volumetric sculpting on nails is a new fashion trend in the nail industry. The use of voluminous manicure designs is great for special occasions, and is especially popular among brides when creating a wedding manicure. This design looks very impressive, festive and unusual. We will tell you in this article how and with what help voluminous patterns on nails are made!

What is volumetric modeling and who is it suitable for?

So, nail sculpting is the creation of three-dimensional patterns using modeling acrylic powder or a special gel composition. With the help of these materials, the volumetric ornament you choose is literally molded as if from plasticine and gives the manicure a unique 3D and even 4D effect. Many girls choose flowers, fruits and even insects (butterflies, bugs, etc.) as patterns. This manicure is suitable for almost everyone, regardless of the shape and length of the nails, and can also be used on both your own and extended nails. Volumetric sculpting on nails is especially popular among brides, as well as among young girls as a summer manicure.

Materials necessary for volumetric modeling, their types, differences, advantages and disadvantages

Today, professionals use only two existing types of volumetric sculpting in manicure:

  • modeling with modeling acrylic powder;
  • modeling using a special gel composition.

Modeling with acrylic powder

Acrylic modeling is very popular. Powder can be transparent or translucent, various colors and shades, some manufacturers add glitter to it. Such a wide palette allows you to create beautiful three-dimensional patterns on your nails.

Acrylic extension and sculpting is done by combining two materials: acrylic powder and liquid (monomer - a transparent liquid necessary for hardening of acrylic powder). The connection of these materials is carried out directly at the moment of building up or creating a three-dimensional pattern.

Acrylic modeling comes in 2 types:

– when creating such a design, a finished three-dimensional acrylic element is placed on the nail, then the entire nail along with the design is filled with transparent gel. As a result, the pattern ends up inside the artificial nail. The advantage of aquarium sculpting is that the volumetric elements do not cling to clothing, which significantly increases the wear time of such a manicure. However, the thickness of the nail is very large, which for some may be a disadvantage.

With this type of modeling, acrylic elements are not filled with gel, and therefore the clearest volume of the pattern is visible. A significant disadvantage is the inconvenience of manicure in everyday life, since protruding patterns very often cling to clothes and other household items. Nevertheless, this type of modeling is very popular.

Advantages of sculpting with acrylic powder

  • Modern acrylic contains the substance ethyl methacrylate. This substance does not harm the nail plate, but on the contrary, gives the nails healthy looking, makes them more durable and elastic.
  • Acrylic is practically unaffected by temperatures. Acrylic also does not disrupt the shape and natural appearance of the nail. The nail plate does not bend under acrylic.
  • Acrylic is easy to remove from the nail. You just need to dip your nail in a special liquid and it will easily dissolve. In this case, your own nail will not be damaged in any way.
  • Using acrylic you can create beautiful manicure designs.

Disadvantages of acrylic sculpting

  • Acrylic should absolutely not be used by people with different kinds fungal diseases, since it creates a greenhouse effect on the nails and the disease will develop even faster from this;
  • It is not recommended to use acrylic for people with gastrointestinal diseases, as well as those suffering from diabetes and problems with the hormonal system;
  • People using medications and girls during menstruation should not use acrylic either.

Modeling using gel

Gel sculpting is a newer phenomenon than acrylic sculpting. Previously, gels were liquid, and with their help it was impossible to create three-dimensional patterns, because they spread. Now they have begun to produce thick gels that are specially designed for creating voluminous decorative designs.

Working with gel is much more difficult than working with acrylic. Each new layer of colored gel requires separate drying under a UV lamp, which makes the process longer and more expensive. This is the main feature and distinctive feature sculpting using gel compositions.

There are 2 types of gel:

  1. 3D gel– has a dense and plastic consistency. With its help it is easy to create three-dimensional drawings. Often used in baguette modeling, as a frame for a pattern or picture.
  2. 4D gel– this gel has a very dense consistency, which is similar to hard sculptural plasticine or clay. Before starting work, such “plasticine” for nails is divided into small parts in the form of balls, and then the required pattern is cut out of it with a special metal tool. This gel sticks very strongly to your hands and tools, so when working with it you need to use a cleanser - a means to remove the sticky layer.

Advantages of gel sculpting

  • Gel does not have harmful substances in the composition, therefore it is not contraindicated for use even by women during pregnancy;
  • The material is very elastic, which allows you to “sculpt” all kinds of decorative elements from it without much difficulty;
  • The gel has no unpleasant odor;
  • Does not harm nails at all and does not worsen their condition.

Disadvantages of gel sculpting


Using nail gel is quite difficult, so for the first time it is better to entrust the procedure to a professional, and after gaining a little visual experience, you can try to make simple compositions yourself, at home.

Step-by-step technique for performing a manicure using the power of volumetric acrylic sculpting

In order to create a three-dimensional pattern on your nails using acrylic sculpting, you will need the following tools:

  • Acrylic powder in the desired colors;
  • Liquid (monomer);
  • Thin brush and flat brushes for pattern modeling;
  • Napkins;
  • Decorative elements (rhinestones, sparkles);

Acrylic modeling is used on extended nails or on gel polish coating


Step-by-step technique for performing volumetric manicure with the power of gel

To create volumetric sculpting using modeling gel, you will need the following tools:

  • Dots;
  • Gel (3D/4D);
  • Means for removing the sticky layer (cleaner);

Gel sculpting is usually used on extended nails, but it can also be used on nails coated with gel polish/shellac or acrylic.

At the end of the extension or after applying gel/varnish, the sticky layer must be removed from the surface of the coating.

  1. Perform nail extensions or cover them with gel polish. Dry under a UV lamp and remove the sticky layer from the surface;
  2. Using a pusher, take a little gel and use your fingers to form a base for the design;
  3. Place the gel on the surface of the base and use a dot or brush to form the desired pattern; you can smooth out sharp corners with a brush dipped in a cleanser;
  4. Dry the result under a UV lamp;
  5. Repeat the same procedure to create the remaining elements of the three-dimensional pattern;
  6. If desired, add other decorative elements (rhinestones, beads);
  7. At the end of the work, apply to the drawing top coating without touching the rhinestones or beads. Dry in a UV lamp.

Interesting design ideas with modeling

3D and 4D nail sculpting, although a new phenomenon, is already actively used by a large number of girls and women. This is not surprising, because three-dimensional drawings, when done correctly, look very beautiful and unusual! Let's look at the most popular and spectacular types of volumetric nail designs:


Dear girls, beautiful and well-groomed hands are your calling card! If you are going to a celebration or just want to look stunning, then the 3D effect on your nails is what you need. And if you put in a little effort and be patient, over time you will be able to create similar beauty on your nails yourself. We hope that our article will help you with this! Go for it!

One of the most popular types of nail design is acrylic nail sculpting, which is three-dimensional designs on the nails. Such designs make nails very effective and complement your manicure with uniqueness and unusualness. This is not to say that this nail design is suitable for every day, but for a wedding or other celebration, this is just what you need. Acrylic sculpting is a relatively new art, so it’s better to trust your nails to professionals. This difficult process requires effort and knowledge of all the intricacies. Of course, you can learn everything, but for the first time it’s better to go to a salon. There you will get a high-quality drawing that can attract attention and amaze everyone with its magnificence.

We learn on our own

If you have enough time and desire to study, then be patient and get started. It is worth noting that no great designer in the field of this skill can boast of natural talent in this field. Everyone studied, got their teeth into things and experimented. So if you don’t succeed the first time, don’t be discouraged, try again.

Acrylic modeling is done on long and transparent nails. It is not worth applying a pattern to the entire surface, because acrylic does not last long near the cuticle. You don’t need to decorate all your nails at once; sculpting looks much more effective only on some nails, for example, on ring or large nails. The rest must be coated with varnish, the tone of which will suit the design.

Mastering the sculpting technique

First, you need to prepare the surface for sculpting: sand the nail plate, process the cuticle, attach the tips, apply an acrylic backing to the tips. The substrate will be the basis for modeling. The most difficult, but nevertheless interesting point is making the drawing itself from acrylic. The elements of these designs are very diverse, but the most popular are floral designs, such as roses or orchids, where each petal stands out clearly.

The main task when performing acrylic sculpting on nails is not only to create a design, but to maintain its volume. You will definitely get a beautiful three-dimensional drawing, but only on condition that you strictly comply with all the requirements of the technology.

The main and important step in creating an acrylic ornament is perforation. It is performed using a brush, which is pressed onto a drop of acrylic that has not yet hardened - it is this action that gives the drop its intended shape and relief. Therefore, when performing acrylic sculpting on nails, you need to carefully and carefully work out even the smallest elements of the design with a brush and give clarity to its contours.

WITH color scheme Of course, you decide for yourself. But it’s worth considering that stylists recommend giving preference to two or three colors in the same key, then the design will turn out bright and beautiful, and not conspicuous by its bad taste.

Positioning the drawing correctly

It is very important to remember the ideal location of the design on the nail. Acrylic sculpting adheres best to the highest point of the nail plate. This is where you need to place the main element of the composition. But on the tip of the nail, as well as in the cuticle area, it will not last long. After all the elements of the design are placed on the nail, they should be covered with a thin layer of acrylic or gel. This protects the volumetric ornament from exposure to ultraviolet rays and household damage. The cuticle must be treated with oil. Using a special file, the nails are given the required shape, and this is the final stage of acrylic design.

There is another method of volumetric acrylic modeling. Its principle is the same, only the design elements are made not on the nail, but on a sheet of foil or glossy paper. Then the finished part of the ornament is attached to the nail using a clean, damp brush and special glue, which is applied to the nail plate.

What materials are better to choose

In order to learn how to make acrylic nail sculpting, you need to choose the right materials. The main material is acrylic colored powder and acrylic liquid. When these two components are mixed, wet balls of a thick consistency are obtained, from which elements of a three-dimensional pattern will subsequently be formed. It is important to know that high-quality acrylic powder does not crystallize, is easily sawed off and is flexible.

The acrylic liquid that turns powder into a soft material to create miniature masterpieces is called a monomer. There are several types of it: odorless self-hardening based on ethyl methacrylate, light-hardening and classic self-hardening. The latter is based on ethyl methacrylate and is perfect for delicate acrylic designs. The rest are used for nail extensions, because they have a slow polarization rate and a residual dispersion layer.

Important! There is another type of self-hardening monomer that is ideal for sculpting. It is based on methyl methacrylic, a substance that does not smell very good. It is precisely because of the pungent odor that specialists practically do not use it. In addition, it has been proven that the fumes of this substance often cause allergies and do not have the best effect on human health. But you can buy monomers based on methyl methacrylic at very low prices on the open market. But keep in mind that no seller will be able to present quality certificates for this product, because they simply do not exist.

Real case: A bride who decided to get acrylic sculpting on each nail on the eve of her wedding felt so bad after the procedure that she spent the night before the special event in the hospital. The doctors, fearing for her health, released the girl to her beloved only an hour before the registry office. I had to quickly do my hair and makeup myself. It is clear that there were some negative emotions. So it’s better not to take risks by using low-quality materials.

Which brushes are the most comfortable?

When you already have acrylic powder and monomer, choose your sculpting brush. A round brush with a sharp end made of red sable bristle or a kolin and an oval brush called “cat’s tongue” are considered universal. It is better to purchase several different brushes and give yourself the opportunity to make ornaments of different sizes. It is important to know: the more you moisten the brush with monomer before dipping it into acrylic powder, the larger the acrylic ball you will get, from which a masterpiece or part of it will be created in the future.

If you are going to decorate your nails with flowers, then you should learn how to draw small veins on the petals, which makes the design lively and natural. To do this you will need a thin “hair” brush and acrylic paints water based.

Now that you know how to make acrylic nail sculpting yourself, go to a specialized nail modeling store, buy materials and save on beauty salons. Let your manicure be the brightest, most elegant and high quality. Good luck!

Fashion trends and the latest techniques in the world of nail art are updated from season to season: something goes into oblivion, something changes, adapting to new trends, and the sculpted nail design in the photo shows the final product of its own evolution. This technique is one of those that has been able to adapt to modern times. From large flowers and butterflies to almost life-size, the sculpture turned into stylish design, setting the tone for your entire look.

Fashion trends for manicure with sculpting in 2018

The Internet is still awash with photos of tacky long stiletto claws or square plates with monstrous acrylic flowers. Oh, those 2000s... “Star Factory”, jeans with a low waist, and clumsy modeling on nails still won’t leave the minds of many masters.

It's high time to notice that in 2018 everything in nail art fashion trends are held under the auspices of minimalism, this also affected the sculptural decoration of nails. Nowadays, marigolds are decorated only with small-sized and not very convex decor; basically, one, or at most a couple of fingers are allocated for it.

Two types - two stars

Artistic masterpieces are sculpted from acrylic and special gel. If earlier creativity could only be done on artificial nails, now figures are often formed on natural plates coated with gel polish.

Acrylic systems

Realistic decorations are made from acrylic powder combined with a special liquid called monomer. By mixing powder with monomer, you get a plastic polymer from which you can fashion whatever your heart desires! Interestingly, this material was initially used in dentistry, and then became widely used in nail art.

It will be very difficult to independently obtain an elegant flower from polymer the first time. The fact is that it hardens quickly and therefore you will have to act extremely quickly and very, very carefully. Therefore, it is better to contact a certified specialist if you are not confident in your own abilities. All those stunning examples of sculpting flowers on nails that you saw on the pages of masters are the result of diligent study in courses and long practice.

One of the main disadvantages of acrylic is the frequent allergic reactions the material and its unpleasant odor, similar to what is felt when a dentist drills a tooth. Also, many are put off from “trying the pen” in this field by the length of the process. On average it takes 2-3 hours to sculpt.

Volume gel

Masters have been thinking about turning gel into magical sculptures for a long time, but, as luck would have it, the usual gels for extensions in volumetric art did not want to help! Their viscous nature did not want to turn into something formal.

But more recently, gels with a dense structure appeared and decoration lovers inhaled new life into the art of sculpting.

This material, unlike acrylic, has no odor and does not have to be mixed with anything. To the touch it looks like pliable plasticine, from which imagination and skillful hands create nail art. A significant plus is that the gel hardens under the influence of ultraviolet light, so the amount of time and attempts in trying to form an idea out of a ball is not limited.

The most popular types are:

  • 3D gel for sculpting nails. Its dense and flexible structure is quite easy to work with, and with the help of such a gel, excellent examples of volumetric modeling are obtained.
  • 4D gel is more rigid. To the touch it is indistinguishable from clay or plasticine. From a small piece with a grain of rice, you can form three-dimensional compositions with a pusher or dots. Some inconvenience is caused by the fact that it sticks to metal and hands, so the tools will have to be constantly moistened with liquid to remove the sticky layer.

Sculpting with gel will take a very long time, since each element must be dried separately in a lamp. If you connect two undried petals, they will merge into one shapeless blob.

However, there are more positive aspects in this technique. If you are eager to try to sculpt your idea yourself, then start with the simplest figures.

Volumetric art in practice: how to sculpt nails

If you still have nostalgia for the wonderful sculpting on your nails, then you can easily show your creative impulses and remain a fashion winner with new items of wonderful design.

Nail masters are strikingly unanimous in teaching beginners: you can’t do your first experience with acrylic or gel on your nails! First, try making a flower or butterfly on paper or foil, or attach the material to tips.

Acrylic modeling master class

It is believed that it is better to master the art of sculpting first of all with acrylic.

You will need:

  • Acrylic powder in several colors.
  • Gel polish.
  • Monomer.
  • Sculpting brushes made of dense and elastic natural bristle.
  • Tips.
  1. Cover the tip with gel polish and dry it.
  2. Dip the brush into the monomer and place the very tip into a jar of powder.
  3. An acrylic ball instantly forms on the brush.
  4. Put him on tips. This droplet can be given any shape with a brush.
  5. You need to act quickly: as soon as the drop loses its shine and becomes matte, polymerization will occur and the drawing can be considered complete. The substance reacts to the air temperature in the room - the warmer it is, the sooner it hardens.

You can see in detail how acrylic sculpting on nails occurs in this video:
