Women's hands always attract attention. Well-groomed nails delight and delight, while untidy ones cause hostility and rejection. The most beautiful manicures are created not only within the walls of professional salons, high-quality hand care can also be provided at home.
Plain Manicures
Modern beauties are given a huge selection of different colors and shades of nail polishes that will satisfy any whim. A monochromatic manicure is one of the simple options that does not take much time to create. You will not need special skills, rich imagination, additional devices.
For an everyday look, it is better to choose soft, natural shades that will look appropriate with any wardrobe and in any environment. Preferring bright tones, you should remember the harmonious combination of color with clothing and makeup.
Even the most beautiful manicures lose their effectiveness after a few days, a maximum of a week. Any coating on natural nails requires regular correction (if it is not shellac). Refresh your manicureoverlaying a new layer of varnish should not be. Firstly, numerous layers will quickly fall off the nails, and secondly, the result of such efforts looks untidy and cheap. Gentle coverage provides the most beautiful manicure. The photo below confirms this idea.
Short nails
Not every woman can afford long nails. Some profession obliges them to be cut short, nature did not allow others to have them. The dubious stereotype that the most beautiful manicures are obtained only on long nails is nothing more than a myth. The charm of natural and restrained beauty is often underestimated, but a manicure on short nails can look very impressive! It is only important to choose the right color of varnish, arrange and maintain a well-groomed appearance.
In order to make a beautiful manicure at home, owners of short nails need to follow simple rules:
- Cuticle manicure should be preferred, during which the cuticles are removed. This technique allows you to visually lengthen the nails and make them neater;
- For short nails, it is better to choose an oval shape, as a rectangular one visually shortens the fingers;
- Short nails fit vertical elements - stripes, patterns, zippers;
- Wide nail plates should be painted over only in the center. If the varnish is bright, then the first layer is applied to the entire area, while the second layer does not affect the corners of the nail.
You should not complement the manicure with the following elements:
- 3D design;
- many rhinestones;
- large decorative items, drawings, stickers.
All shades of polish look great on short nails. For decoration, it is better to choose a floral theme and simple drawings. The classic “French” looks especially effective - a stylish option for every day. To make sure that this is the most universal and most beautiful manicure, the photo below will help.
Decorative elements
Manicure design is an art form. What does not come to the mind of modern fashionistas! There are many types of decor, from the simplest ones that you can handle on your own, to those that require the hands of a real master.
Nail decoration items:
- stickers, tattoos;
- foil;
- rhinestones, sequins;
- beads;
- beads;
- flock powder (to create a velvet manicure);
- drawings.
The most beautiful manicures require accuracy and moderation. There is no need to use a lot of jewelry at once, it is better to experiment with images gradually, rather than combining all the possible options into one.
Manicure at home
Every woman should know how to make a beautiful manicure herself, because it is not always possible to visit the master. Performing simple steps will allow you to always stay with well-groomed and beautiful hands.
Every manicure starts withsteam bath. Hot water is poured into a convenient container, to which essential oils, sea s alt or bath foam are added. After steaming, a nourishing cream is applied to the hands and nails, a light massage is done. Next, attention is paid to the cuticles. They can be cut or moved with a special spatula.
Only after the cream is completely absorbed, you can start processing nails. If you carry out manipulations with a wet surface, then the nails will begin to exfoliate and crumble. The excess length of the nail is cut off, with the help of a nail file the necessary shape is given. After the surface of the nail is ready, it should be treated with nail polish remover, and then apply a layer of base under the varnish. Then the nail is painted in the main color and decorated if desired. After all layers have dried, the nail is covered with the last, fixing, layer. It can be any transparent varnish, including the base.
A beautiful manicure not only complements the image of a woman, but also significantly improves mood. Simple regular manipulations will help maintain a neat and well-groomed appearance of the hands without much effort.
