Solid and tight
The whole type of slide stickers is glued entirely on the entire nail, under the picture there is already a plain color base, mainly white, pink or beige. Solid sliders last much longer than other elements.

- Flowers;
- Nature;
- Unusual artifacts;
- Complex patterned elements;
- Varieties of murals.

- Animalistic
- Geometric;
- Patterned.

Outline sliders are mainly combinations of various elements of geometry and abstraction:
- Squares;
- Diamonds
- Triangles
- Strips;
- Angles;
- Curls;
- Patterns;
- Lettering.
Contour sliders are used mainly when creating a manicure with geometry and asymmetry, or in cases where additional decorative elements are required. The advantage of this type is that it allows you to create even patterns without special devices.
How to apply on nails?
Putting a sticker is not difficult, but technology must be followed, otherwise the manicure will not last long. There are several types of stickers that can be mounted on an uncoated plate or on a plate with a clear or plain light varnish. Using stickers, you can create a very unusual nail art.
