Those times when women used only one color of nail polish have sunk into oblivion, and today nail art is one of the most popular procedures in the beauty industry. With the help of a manicure, you can decorate your hands, emphasize your style and make it individual, only thanks to the right design. One of the popular options is the geometry style. This article has all the information you need, from the choice of varnish to the technique of its application.
Geometry. Manicure for fashionistas
There are really a lot of manicure options, some of them are complex, others will not be difficult to repeat. The main thing is to have everything you need at hand, and then it will be easy to create a drawing.
To come up with a design, just remember the lessons of geometry, well, or look at the design options for nails in the photo. Lines and stripes, squares and triangles, rectangles and rhombuses, or even a combination of several patterns at once - all the geometry is at your disposal. Manicure in these cases canlimit only your own imagination.
The easiest options are zigzags, squares and stripes. And although it sounds like a nondescript design, in reality it turns out to be a very attractive creation.
A little attention to the shape and length of nails
"Geometry" - a manicure that sets girls only one task - the choice of pattern. This may seem stupid to some, but it's still better to be guided by the length and shape of the nails to make the fingers even more beautiful and attractive. Firstly, do not make motifs on too long or short nails. This will only spoil the overall look.
Secondly, if the fingers are wide, chubby, it is not recommended to choose vertical lines for them. As you know, such stripes visually make the nails even larger. All this is just a recommendation, and the choice always remains with the girl.
Before you create a design, you need to take care of your hands. Geometric patterns look equally beautiful on oval, square, and almond shaped nails, so don't worry about it. The only thing to do is file long nails.
Perfect color combination
Today, the combination of tones is treated creatively, that is, incompatible shades are chosen at first glance. "Geometry" is a manicure that will be more interesting if you take several completely different colors. You can also choose 2 shades, for example black and white, or tones of different saturation -crimson, purple, lilac and hot pink, or blue, sky blue, moray eel and turquoise. In general, in this matter, you can also experiment as much as your heart desires.
The design will turn out very beautiful if you combine bright colors with pale ones. Some of them will set off others, resulting in an attractive picture.
Varnish Choice: Quality Matters
Cheap low-quality varnishes for the described manicure are better not to take. They dry for a long time and poorly, they are inconvenient to apply - which means that beautiful geometry will not work with them. Manicure will be easier to do if you purchase these varnish options:
- Alessandro;
- Rimmel;
- O. P. I;
- ESSIE.
But gel polish is preferable as it will last even longer. Its popular manufacturers:
- CND Shellac;
- Artistic Color Gloss;
- Bio Sculpture Gel;
- OPI Gel Color;
- IBD Gelac.
Geometry-style manicure technique: several popular options
First of all, we will describe the "Geometry" manicure, a photo of which you can see in the article. Making it is very simple:
- Apply base polish and let it dry completely (it's pink in this version).
- Stick the triangle with an angle up (to the base of the nail).
- Apply the second color (here it is dark blue).
- Let dry, but not completely, as the sticker will be difficult to remove. Then take it off.
Another interesting option involves delimiting the nail plate with thin strips of ordinary adhesive tape. If possible, you can buy a special one - for manicure.
- So, first you need to apply the main varnish. For example, white. This color will make stripes separating multi-colored squares.
- Next, when it dries, you need to stick thin tapes as needed. A more interesting design will turn out if you make these peculiar "bricks" chaotic.
- Then you need to paint over them with the selected colors.
- When the varnish dries a little (not completely), remove the tape, paint over the dividing strips, cover with a base - and the “Colored Geometry” manicure is ready!
By the way, it's really easy to make a rainbow through black. To do this, you need to divide the nail plate into several parts, for example into 3. One edge is painted green, the other yellow, and the middle can be made scarlet or red. When the varnish dries, you need to use a sticky thin tape again. You can make three diagonal stripes or more, as well as horizontal or vertical - in any number. Apply black varnish, let dry and remove tapes.
Manicure "Geometry" for short nails can be done like this:
- paint the nail plate white;
- stick two shiny tapes for manicure - one in the middle, the second a little higher towards the end;
- paint the middle part with silver lacquer, and the bottom with black, so that you get a black jacket.
Geometric design is style, beauty, creativity and allure that every girl can create at home!
