Wedding manicure is a special decoration that can say a lot about the bride. Every movement of her hands is watched by many eyes, everyone wants to see the wedding ring, the wedding bouquet, the glasses of the newlyweds, and the traditional dance will forever remain in the photo and video. Therefore, an unsuccessfully chosen manicure design can be stressful for a girl. To prevent this from happening, here are the latest bridal manicure trends.
In the image of the bride, of course, the most important thing is the dress. This year, the traditional white color is not losing ground, only changing shades. Therefore, the repetition of the tone of the material in manicure is a justified element. That doesn't make a monochrome design obligatory, giving you the opportunity to add trendy burgundy, lavender and deep pink decorations to it.
Length and shape of nails
Serious demands are placed on the shape of the bride's nails. Now you can adjust the nail plate, so the shape must be perfect. No trapezoidal nails! They callimpression of neglect. If natural nails grow like a trapezoid, a correction is made with solid materials (gel, gel polish, biogel) with tweezers. The side bolsters must be parallel.
In the case of wide natural nails, we can recommend the “ballerina” shape, which greatly facilitates the brush. These are nails of medium length and a little more. Salon stiletto extension is a beautiful, but not suitable nail shape for everyone, so the “ballerina” is more in demand.
Beautiful narrow nails can be emphasized with an oval shape, then they will become tender. Short and wide nails, if extension is not possible, can be slightly narrowed to the free edge, as in the photo below.
Practicality dictates the choice of short length and interesting design. Floral motifs are back in fashion, but they can be complemented with sequins of kamifubuki in appropriate tones - this way the design will turn from classic to modern.
What characterizes a wedding manicure
Although there is no dress code for a manicure at a wedding, general fashion trends do exist. For example, the fashion for naturalness, which appeared in the nineties of the last century, is still relevant. This entails a careful selection of jewelry, nails being one of them.
Modern bridal manicure has a few rules to follow:
- The main background of the manicure should be in harmony with the color of the groom's shirt.
- Gold should not be found with other metals.
- If the wedding is colored, the manicure should givea tribute to her: at least on one nail, make room for the main color.
- A minimalist wedding calls for modest design.
- A mature woman's manicure should not look rustic.
- Manicure must be practical on this day.
Anyway, the bride's nails are a decoration. Therefore, they, like other accessories, should be combined with the image of a young couple. And this means not only with a dress, but also with a bouquet, hairstyle, image of the groom.
2018 Fashion Trends
Annual fashion shows traditionally end with a real work of art - a wedding dress. Manicure models at the same time sets the fashion for designs. This year's wedding manicure for the bride can harmonize in color with the groom's suit. It is in 2018 the colors of burgundy wine and plum. Pastel shades in a manicure will perfectly complement the image of a couple.
White tones look perfect in both gloss and matte finishes. Now velvet is back in fashion. Various velvet drawings on the shiny silk of the nail are elegant and solemn. The texture of the design can imitate the fabric of the dress and repeat the motifs of its embroidery or print. White has many shades: cool bluish, warm champagne or muted ivory.
Against such a background, acrylic modeling would be appropriate. She is again fashionable in a wedding manicure. Volumetric flowers are combined with a simple dress. As always, lace is in a special place. Imitation of it can be planar or voluminous and look surprisingly gentle.
French classic
White smile on nails is an irreplaceable classic. In 2018, it is made in the main color of the bouquet - red freesia, blue lavender, marsala and burgundy - wine shades. The haze may still be pale pink, nude or champagne. Or maybe ultra-white steel. The shape of the smile is both classic and original - waves, corner, zigzag, double. Its lines echo the cut of the lapels of the groom's jacket.
Sequins, rhinestones, kamifubuki - everything can be in a smile this year. One of the expected trends in bridal manicure is the transition from vintage style to glitter and shimmer. Thin shiny lines emphasize the elegance of the hands. In a manicure, sections of a natural nail framed by a ruffle or pattern frame can be seen through a continuous coating.
Ethnic motifs are in fashion, which can either be present on the entire nail or occupy only the free edge. Such a manicure is called "boho". This is a mixture of ornaments: Indian patterns and Mayan signs, Sanskrit and feathers, eyes and arrows - all this is symbolic and will provide a sophisticated manicure.
Hi-tech fashion and minimalism
Two styles that go well together are hi-tech and minimalism. Often the wedding decoration takes place in a hall that already has such a design. Do not hang panels, carry paraphernalia and draperies. Use this style in creating an image. Wedding trends in wedding manicure bring metallic, which is still present in the dress and suit. These are silver and gold stripes, a metallic spark in the fabric, which finds a match in the manicure in the form ofchrome lacquer, mirror surfaces made by mirror rubbing, and geometry and abstraction can be traced in the lines.
Gradient looks good in this setting, which can combine colors and create a twist. White nails with rhinestones scattered along the side of the nail look both gentle and bold. Any length.
Vintage Wedding
Insert an antique design into a wedding manicure - fashion trends for a vintage-style wedding. A classic floor-length dress, a veil, a w altz and a sea of flowers characterize the atmosphere of such a holiday. The bride is a princess at this ball. And the groom, of course, is a prince. Nails choose medium length, oval shape, an abundance of white, cream and pink.
Drawings in the form of flowers, royal lilies and monograms - what is most consistent with this style. It is always present in every wedding collection of manicure. In 2018, velveteen, velvet textures, matte accents are fashionable. There should not be many of them, rather, they are present in the painting.
Swarovski crystals are a welcome design element in this style. Nails sparkling with diamonds in the evening lighting of the ball will make you feel like a real princess.
Short Nail Designs
Wedding stylists do not advise growing nails for those girls who are not used to wearing them every day. With long nails, all hand movements are special so as not to break them. What a shame it would be to lose even one nail on that day! Much better to opt forshort length and gel polish.
Small nails can have a graceful oval shape and be very elegant. Nail stylists have a saying: "Nothing can be too much for a bride's manicure." How similar to the designs shown here! Wedding manicure for the bride, the photo of which is presented below, will not leave any girl indifferent.
Lace, monograms, veils, voluminous flowers and bows - and that's not all. Gold letters and pink rhinestones are acceptable here. Mixing styles is also a style, and very trendy.
Colored weddings in 2018
Color weddings, which came to our country recently, are gaining more and more fans. The French magazine "Glamour" recommends the color of dark fuchsia, all shades of dark pink, closer to plum, a combination of pale pink and black. Along with this range, lavender, deep blue and pale blue azure have also become fashionable.
Stylists highlight the original color of marsala - a rich shade of red wine, which this year is recognized as the most relevant. It really looks very rich, in pure color and pastel dilution. He seems to carry an aura of luxury with him.
Fashionable wedding manicure, the photo of which is presented above, will fit well into the overall picture. The photo shows two length options that represent different designs. And in both cases, the saturated color is not the main one, it only decorates the details, and its diluted pastel version in the extension looksno less rich.
Pink Gamma
This year pink will be in high demand. This also applies to jewelry and accessories. There are a lot of shades of pink, preference is given to wine. These are cold tones that go well with fair skin. In designs, the pink background serves a decorative purpose, so a week-old manicure will look sloppy. The nail will have time to grow a little, and an ugly strip of natural color will appear at the cuticle. If you are planning a long holiday, it is better to use camouflage gel for the background, and make a pattern with decorative pink.
Monograms made with gel polish look good in velvet. This is achieved by velor or acrylic dressing. The combination of two different shades of pink is also a fashionable solution. This is how thin weaves are performed: nets, chains, floral patterns. The addition of gold jewelry will add significance to this design.
The combination of pink and white is perceived as a symbol of purity and tenderness. Do not be afraid to dilute these colors with light green - it will turn out naturally. In this case, the shade of light green should be muted, pastel.
