The technique of drawing with a needle goes back to the distant past. Even before the beginning of the era of various nail designs, women of fashion knew how to create breathtakingly beautiful patterns on their nails. Then the trend was gradually forgotten, giving way to more stylish and professional solutions. But the fashion is cyclical, and today the drawings on the nails with a needle are again popular more than ever. Any girl can learn to draw with a needle, especially since no special tools or accessories are needed for this.
What do you need for drawing on nails with a needle?
Although the technique has a clear and “self-explanatory” name, it is better to clarify the list of elements necessary for operation. You should not start drawing on the nails with a needle if there are no:
- Varnishes of different colors. For painting, it is better not to use gel coatings, but to choose conventional formulations that are easy to apply and erase. The quality of the patterns created largely depends on the selection of colors, so you should make sure that you have contrasting and matching shades at hand - at the choice of the master.
- Needles of different thickness. The term "needles" is used in this context rather conditionally, since you can draw on nails not only with a sewing needle, but also with pins, hairpins and even. The choice is influenced by the requirements for the diameter of the tool - a thin sharp needle or a thick tip of a hairpin.
- Nail polish remover. You can't do without it. The creative process involves a flight of imagination and experiments, which sometimes need urgent adjustment. So it's better to have everything you need at hand.
Actually, on this, the preparation process can be considered complete and proceed directly to the creation of drawings on the nails with a needle.
Drawings on nails with a needle: the choice of technique
There are many ways to paint on your nails. They are conventionally called:
- wet;
- dry.
Wet technique involves a creative process on a still wet lacquer surface. The step-by-step process looks like this:
- applying a base coat of the desired color;
- immediately applying a few drops of varnish of the selected shades;
- drawing until both compositions are dry.
The beauty of the patterns created in this case is simply incredible, but it is very difficult to try to have time to do everything before the varnishes dry. Therefore, beginners, and many experienced craftswomen, choose the dry method. Everything is simpler in it:
- covering with the first colored layer;
- waiting for it to dry;
- applying drops with another varnish;
- creation of drawings.
If the principle of drawing on nails with a needle is not yet clear, then it is worth explaining: patterns and ornaments are created from droplets of varnishes by their purposeful spreading over the surface of the nail with a needle. In this case, the needle serves as a guiding tool, giving the droplets arbitrary and complex shapes, as well as necessary for connecting varnishes of different shades to each other. Externally, the drawings on the nails with a needle look like the result in its simplified version.
Rules for drawing on nails with a needle
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for beginners to make mistakes and become disillusioned with fashionable technology. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to consider the following rules:
- when drawing, place the needle perpendicular to the surface of the nail;
- start drawing with the little finger;
- take a lot of varnish to create spectacular patterns;
- draw with surface strokes;
- think over a pattern and try it on paper;
- work only with a clean needle.

Tools for manicure at home
Manicure can be done at home, an important component of an independent manicure are tools, namely: cuticle nippers, nail file and pusher. How to Pick Good Tools:
- The first thing you need to pay attention to is the material from which the nippers are made. Quality tools are made from stainless steel. The cost of good wire cutters starts at 700 rubles.
- Blade length. Cuticle nippers have a cutting blade of 4-10 mm. The optimal size is 5-6 mm.
- Before you buy wire cutters, it is advisable to take them in your hand and make sure that they are easy to squeeze, and the hand does not get tired when working.
- After purchasing the nippers, you should immediately take them for sharpening, despite the fact that the packaging will say that the nippers are hand-sharpened.
- Pusher is a tool for pushing back the cuticle. They come in different types and shapes. The tip is square and oval. The other side with and without a sharp point. Pusher also needs to be sharpened. But you can't make it too sharp, otherwise you can damage the nail.
- The first thing you should pay attention to when choosing a nail file is the numbers 180/240, 100, 150, 1000 grit. This is the abrasiveness of the file. The lower the numbers, the harder the file. For example, a 50 grit file will be very hard and only suitable for artificial nails. For home manicure, you need a 180/240 grit file for natural nails.
A prerequisite for an independent manicure is the sterilization of instruments. If the wire cutters and pusher are used by only one person, then it is enough to wipe them with alcohol after use and boil them once a month in distilled water. If these tools are used by other family members, then they need to be boiled after each use. It is necessary to boil for 15-20 minutes, then dry on a clean towel.
Important! It is necessary to treat your hands before starting a manicure, this can be done with alcohol, cologne or washed with antibacterial soap, it is better not to get carried away with the last procedure, because antibacterial soap also kills beneficial bacteria.
The main stages of drawing on nails at home with a needle.
Manicurists distinguish two methods of drawing with a needle for beginners. Dry drawing - drawing is applied only after the first varnish has dried. With this method, you need to drip varnish on the nail and then stretch the drawing with a needle.
Wet application is when there is no need to wait for the varnish to dry, and you can immediately drip the next one, while mixing one varnish with another with a needle
So, the stages of drawing with a needle on the nails are as follows:
- The first layer is to apply a base varnish, it will protect the nails from the effects of varnish.
- Next, you should apply the first layer of varnish of the main color. You need to wait for the base varnish to dry.
- Next is the second, thicker layer of the base varnish.
- The last step in applying varnishes will be the points that need to be dripped onto the nail.
Now it is advisable to make the drawing before the varnish dries, otherwise everything will have to be repeated from the beginning. At first it will be difficult to come up with a pattern on the nails, so you can use the schemes from the Internet
Idea! Those who lack the talent of an artist can practice drawing on paper. Even beginners will get simple patterns after a few trials.
For training and tests with different images, you will need the following materials:
- white sheet of paper;
- acrylic or gouache paints;
- sewing needle.
You just need to drop the paint onto the paper and stretch it with a needle, creating a drawing. After the hand is trained on paper, you can safely proceed to the drawing on the nails.
It is better to start the design with the little finger, so as not to grease the already formed nails. If you follow the rules, then everything will turn out fine, and small tips will help with this:
- French style manicure visually lengthens the nails. Light and dark tones will make your nails shorter.
- During the process, do not press hard on the surface of the varnish, it is better to make smooth and light movements, otherwise there is a risk of leaving scratches on the varnish.
- Each subsequent layer of varnish must be thoroughly dried, this is the main principle of manicure. If there is no time, then you can dry your nails in cold water.
- When drawing with a needle, make sure that the varnish is not too thick and the varnish layer is not thick, otherwise the drawing will not work. The needle should slide easily over the surface.
- At the end, you need to cover the nail with a fixative, so nothing will harm the pattern.
Constant training in drawing will help you gain experience and “fill your hand”, and over time you can decorate your nails not only for yourself, but also for your friends. And if you wish, and at all, you can turn this occupation into a lucrative profession.

For example, to create a geometric pattern, you will need: base, base coat, varnishes of two colors, a thin brush. In terms of complexity, this technique is comparable to needle drawing, and it is quite suitable for beginners:
- nails are covered with a base base;
- mentally, a line is drawn across the marigold, dividing it into two equal parts.
One of the parts is painted over, for example, with a blue varnish; using black varnish and a thin brush, a black stripe is applied, separating the colored blue part. The result is a manicure with a clear contour of varnishes in contrasting colors.
The finished pattern, as usual, is covered with a base base. With a thin brush, you can draw "leopard patterns", for this, brown spots are first drawn, then they are outlined with black varnish.
Advice! If it is difficult and inconvenient to draw on the fingers of the right hand using the left, you can choose only one nail to apply the pattern, and cover the rest with varnishes in contrasting colors.
Decoration decor
With the help of decorative elements, you can easily decorate marigolds for the holiday, for this you will need glitter sprinkles, rhinestones, sparkles, etc. You will also need a colorless varnish, a base varnish. The technique of applying patterns using decor elements is very simple:
- The nails are covered with a colorless base.
- If desired, a varnish of a different color is applied.
- After drying, decorative elements are laid out on the surface in the desired order.
- The base varnish is again applied on top.

Advice! In order for the decor not to crumble ahead of time, you need to try to choose the elements that fit the nail as closely as possible.
Drawing with tulle
Using this method, the nail acquires an interesting openwork pattern. To do this, you need a piece of tulle with a beautiful fine lace. Nails are prepared, as with other techniques (base varnish, main color), without allowing the second layer of varnish of the main color to completely dry, a piece of tulle is applied to the nail plate, pressed for a while and removed. It turns out an imprint of openwork tulle on the enamel, and now you just need to cover it with transparent varnish to fix it.
Advice! The pattern can be customized for each finger. And instead of tulle, take knitted fabric or velvet.
Acrylic paints will decorate your fingers
This method of applying patterns is also suitable for beginners; in terms of complexity, it is equivalent to painting with varnish with a thin brush. Some beginners may find it even easier to complete.
For example, you can draw a branch. This will require yellow and green paints. It is carried out in the following stages:
- A varnish of some dull color is applied.
- On the top left, two curved lines are drawn with a brush - these will be branches. The lines are drawn with bright yellow acrylic paint.
- With the same brush, small leaves are drawn on the branch.
- The middle of the leaf is tinted with a lighter paint.
- Everything is covered with colorless varnish for fixing.
Advice! Do not forget about applying clear varnish as a fixer. Without it, the paints will quickly be washed off with water.
