For beginners
If you're hesitant about holding a paintbrush on your nails or prefer not to spend a lot of time on manicures, then you'll love these ideas that are as easy as painting your nails.
First of all, you should pay attention to the “special nail” technique. Its essence is that one finger needs to be designed differently than all the others.
The easiest way to do this is to paint one nail with a lot of glitter polish. This will create an interesting contrast with the monochromatic polish and make the manicure more elegant.
Another beautiful solution is a drawing on one nail,made with a brush or created with a special manicure tape.
Tricks
It should be noted that the special nail art decorations are very easy to use and allow you to quickly make interesting designs.
For example, this orange manicure has a special grace, not only due to the harmonious combination of different colors, but also thanks to the carefully applied manicure tape and rhinestones glued at the base of the nails.
Transparent varnishes with large sparkles also give room for imagination. They can completely cover the nail plate, or you can leave only a translucent shiny coating.
Orange Manicure: French Style Ideas
Now there are a huge number of French options. From the original idea, only the rule of a contrasting “smile” remained. This opens up scope for imagination when working with orange. Depending on the desired effect, it can be either a main shade or a contrast one.
Bright, but at the same time rather restrained looks manicure, in which the "smile" line is made in orange.
If desired, it can be supplemented with small flowers, which will be obtained by carefully dotting with a toothpick or a special tool for nail art with a round head.
But this brighter orange manicure on short nails is done the other way around, and resembles brightlollipops.
French is also often decorated with fancy patterns. For example, butterflies on the tips of nails are quite popular. This is a complex pattern, but you can make a simplified version using stickers.
Juicy fruits
What do you associate orange with? It is likely that juicy oranges and tangerines will come to mind first. So is it any wonder that they make a very interesting and perky orange manicure. Photos of "delicious" nail art will prove the truth of this statement.
Of course, such a manicure will not work without painstaking and very accurate work, but the result is worth it.
If you are not ready for complex drawings, there is one way to make a fruity orange manicure quickly and easily. To bring it to life, you will need ready-made decorative elements in the form of fruits made from fimo polymer clay.
They just need to be attached to the still wet varnish. Be sure to use a top coat afterwards or the fruit will fall off quickly.
Trendy gradients
The effect of "ombre" or smooth color transitions has been in fashion for several years. An orange manicure with a gradient can look amazing and also be the basis for other designs.
One of the most popular color schemes is the use of shades in one scale. For example, from yellow to orange:
Glitter polish looks very appropriate with such juicy shades and hides the flaws that are inevitable when creating a gradient.
You can complicate the task and make the transition between 3 different colors by adding red to the mix.
The drawings on the background of the gradient look very interesting. For example, thanks to the gradient background, a simple pattern of a palm tree and seagulls looks very original.
And you can go the simpler way. Glitter polish, shell embellishments, this nail art is reminiscent of a vacation by the sea.
An interesting detail: the gradient can be located not only on one nail, but on the whole hand. Those. the thumb can be made up in a light shade, the rest - increasingly darker, and the little finger will be made up almost red.
Intricate orange manicure
The ideas below are only for experienced craftswomen.
For example, when creating such a nail art, first of all, I had to work hard on clear borders of colors and neat contours of each section.
Then work on its decoration followed: finely delineating lines with glitter varnish, gluing rhinestones and nail tape.
The highlight of this manicure is the intricate application of beautiful pebbles.
But the delicate marble effect, the thin line around the nail and the neat rhinestone path complete it.
Orange manicure with flowers looks very gentle and feminine.
But, as with the previous designs, it takes a lot of work to create such a neat pattern. Of particular difficulty are the subtle transitions of shades on the flower petals.
