One of the duties of a business person working in an office is to follow a certain dress code. Often this concept refers to the classic style of clothing and discreet colors. And if it is quite simple for men to follow the dress code, then it is somewhat more difficult for the fair sex. The reason for this is the inability to make a bright make-up and manicure. But what if you want to look really stylish and beautiful? Today we will tell you what options for a soft manicure can decorate your hands.
French design
The most popular type of manicure is French. A soft pink nail base with a white tip has tightly come into fashion in the last century and keeps on the wave to this day. Many women consider French manicure to be something akin to natural nails and prefer to wear only it.
However, today the usual jacket is diluted with various typesdecor. One of them can be called the design of one finger. In this case, one of the nails is performed in a different technique than the rest. If you are looking for an idea of a soft, but original manicure, then we recommend paying attention to a gentle jacket with sand.
To create it, the master uses a special finely ground powder and forms an undried top coat layer with it. With further drying, sand particles adhere tightly to the nail and remain on it. Such a manicure is just a godsend for those women who need to stick to a strict style, but want to add a little originality to the image.
Rubbing Manicure
Another novelty on the beauty market, which is very fond of women. Rubbing is a delicate pearlescent powder, which, when rubbed into the nail, gives a sheen and a slight glow. It can be used on any color of polish, depending on the woman's preference. The rub looks especially beautiful on delicate shades, such as blue or pink.
The master picks up a small amount of powder on the applicator and transfers it to the already painted nail with rubbing movements. Then covers it with a layer of finishing gel polish.
Geometric motifs
This season, geometric print nail designs are no less popular. Geometry means everything that is at least somehow similar to exact graphs and drawings from school notebooks. It can be figures, straight lines. Thus, a geometric print often borders onminimalism. If you like such concise drawings on the nails, then we recommend that you take a closer look at the next option. This design is suitable as a soft manicure for school or office. He still looks alive and not boring. Which is confirmed by the following photo of a dim “geometry” manicure.
Please note that this nail art option uses silver glitter polish. But due to the fact that most of the nails are done in soft pastel colors, you will avoid excessive vulgarity.
So, in order to make a soft manicure as in the photo, the master uses a thin brush and three colors of gel polish. First, a small shiny triangle is drawn at the base of the nail, dried under a lamp. Further, along its edge, the next part is white varnished. However, if the gel polish is quite thick and is able to overlap the color of another polish, then you can start painting from larger to smaller, i.e. from pink to silver. The second method is much easier and faster to perform.
Second geometry option
Today, few women choose a solid color for their nails. After all, the variety of decor and types of design just rolls over. Therefore, it makes no sense to deny yourself this. If you think a solid nude finish looks boring, try choosing a subtle pattern. For example, as in the photo below.
This is a great option for a soft manicure for short nails. It suits women of all ages. The combination of light gel polish and black patterns in the style of geometrylooks expensive and stylish. In this case, the pattern is applied with a brush and thick varnish. But you can use ready-made sliders, i.e. stickers.
Cut out a design that fits the size of your nail and lightly moisten it with water. When the translucent upper film begins to peel off, use tweezers to transfer it to the already painted nail and spread it on it. To make the drawing fit better, the master makes cuts around the cut out slider before wetting it with water.
Polka dot manicure
Print that many girls and women like. Polka dots came into fashion tightly in the middle of the last century. This truly girlish pattern can be very diverse. As for manicure, here it is used to the fullest. You can make bright nails in contrasting polka dots, or you can use neat and delicate colors. For example, as in the following option.
The advantage of this type of design is that it looks great on both long and short nails. If you want to create a delicate, almost invisible coating, then use a translucent cream gel polish. It will transform the nail plate and make it look more well-groomed.
To create peas, a special stick with metal tips - dots is used. Due to the round ends, which are dipped in white gel polish, you can make a beautiful stylish polka dot pattern.
Ombre and exotic leaves
Another manicure in pastel shades of blue and beige can be done thanks to the newfangledtechnique - gradient or in another way, ombre. This technique implies a smooth transition from one color of gel polish to another. Usually two or three shades are chosen for ombre, which give a beautiful combination with each other.
To perform an ombre design, foam rubber or another sponge made of soft absorbent material is most often used. The master applies two gel polishes on a cardboard or other smooth surface, joint to joint. Then, using a toothpick, slightly mixes the two colors on the border, it is important not to overdo it here. Then the sponge is superimposed on the cardboard and transferred to the nail. In order not to stain the roller near the nails, a special tool is used before the procedure. The leaves of the plant are already drawn on top of the ombre with a thin brush with white thick varnish.
