Monogram designs are a stylish way to up your manicure game because they are adaptable and can be made to fit any occasion, regardless of how bold or subtle they are.

Choosing tools for creating monograms on nails

For those who are not accustomed to using a brush, manually drawing monogram patterns on nails can be challenging. But you don’t always need a brush to create a nice pattern—simple thermal stickers and stencils work just as well. To make it easier for you to decide which method to use to create a manicure with monograms, we’ll tell you what tools are helpful.

Varnishes

You will need at least two varnishes in contrasting shades and good density. As a base, almost any color will work. Select colors like white, blue, and red for your patterns; they typically stand out against any background. Create the combinations on your own; it’s all a matter of preference. There is only one clear rule: on any light shade, a darker shade looks better.

Making an accent on just two or three nails is preferable. Monograms: the design is striking and vivid on its own; the key is to keep it subtle. All of the nails can be highlighted, but in this instance, only partially.

Stencils

For those who have never used a brush to create nail art, stencils with pre-made patterns are appropriate. They are available for purchase at specialty stores, which are typically found in major malls.

  • They"re easy to use: apply the stencil to the nail plate with a base coat and color previously applied to it, apply a contrasting shade of varnish on top, then carefully remove the stencil and wait until the design is completely dry. Apply a top coat.

Stickers

Thermal stickers are another option for creating a monogrammed manicure; they are available in both regular and water-based varieties. The former can be adhered to with glue and subsequently sealed right away with a final varnish. The latter operate on the basis of "transfer" stickers; the key is to apply the finishing coat only after the moisture has fully evaporated from the stickers after you have transferred them to the nail.

Take into account the following when selecting stickers: Regular stickers will be more convex and voluminous, while water-based stickers will lie on the nails in a thin layer.

Brushes

Monograms can also be made with a brush if you have experience with nail art. Examine the brush before purchasing; the hairs shouldn’t come loose. Additionally, choose the material that will be used to make the brush handle; wood is the best choice.

  • As for the shape and pile, the brush should be: a) thin and with long hairs; b) with a beveled end – to make it easier to draw curls. If the brush is not thin enough, you can cut a few hairs with scissors.

Method No. 1: using a brush

Apply one layer of base coat after doing a manicure and cleaning the nail plate with alcohol wipes or cotton pads dipped in nail polish remover.

Use two coats of the Essie Gel Couture collection’s Model Citizen pink nail polish to achieve a brighter, denser, and more resilient shade. Hold off until it dries entirely.

Use a nail color that contrasts with pink to create designs; blue Essie Gel Couture Model Clicks are a good choice. There are various things to think about.

  • Make a design only on a few nails – for example, on the middle and ring fingers.
  • The lines should be thin and intertwined, forming a beautiful pattern. Start drawing them from the free edge of the nails, moving towards the center.
  • To prevent the pattern from smearing, before creating a new curl, make sure that the previous one is completely dry.

Method No. 2: using stickers

This is a more straightforward approach. Paint your nails with a base coat and a color coat. Simply adhere the sticker firmly to the nail and fix it if it is regular (as it is in our instance) and not water-based. Next, use one coat of finishing varnish, if necessary.
