When you want something new, you don't have to go to the sea, you can just do an unusual manicure. Nail stylists who work with fashion designers are constantly making small discoveries. Such an innovation was the 2013 show from the “hooligan of fashion” Jean Paul Gaultier. He invented the phalangeal ring, which is worn on the first phalanx and imitates a nail.
The idea was developed, and soon there were various versions of such rings from other fashion houses. Famous pop singers began to wear them, emphasizing bright images. Now such rings complement the manicure of many non-star people. As always happened, the idea of haute couture was transformed into ready-to-wear fashion.
Metal Design Workshop
With the advent of the fashion for metallic manicure, the nail industry began to offer all kinds of means to imitate gold, silver, platinum, steel, iron, copper and bronze. Metallic varnish appeared, a color coating with a lot of shimmer. Masters began to perform chasing and casting in manicure. Unusual design is relevant in 2018. It is characterized by the inclusion of metallicelements that only emphasize the delicate tones of manicure.
The video shows a step-by-step implementation of such a design. This time, the metal parts are chains. They are attached to the nails with gel polish, they are worn perfectly, they do not hurt anything and allow you to perform any work. Foil casting completes the look.
Bracelets on nails
The continuation of the metal theme was the unusual manicure "Bracelets", the so-called baubles that schoolgirls like to weave from beads. Master from Korea Yang Kung Park uses thin threads with pendants to decorate nails. It can be letters or hearts. This design looks best on long black nails, on which bracelets are made with gold threads and chains.
This drawing has its own principles: the lines depict a bracelet worn on the fingers, and therefore should be located from nail to nail. Some threads are pulled tighter, they will be even. Others sag a little, they will look good suspension. It can be painted or glued on a metal part.
Gold bracelets also look good against a calm nude background. On a white background, it is better to draw colored bracelets, using rhinestones and threads for a checkered, polka dot and striped design.
Confetti all year round
How is this possible? Japanese confetti are not similar to European ones: they are foil figures of different colors and sizes: stars, hearts, circles and sticks. They are successfully used in design, and such an unusual manicure is called “Kamifubuki”.
Designcompose based on the size of the figure. Filled with top gel, it looks like a glowing picture. It is best to choose a dark background for kamifubuki. The combination of large and small confetti of the same type creates a three-dimensional effect. They reflect light in only one plane, so a composition of three large confetti will not always shine, but only at a certain angle. Sometimes just such an effect is needed - for example, when using magnetic varnish as a background.
To completely cover the kamifubuki nail, first put large confetti on the center of the nail, then medium-sized confetti on its side faces, then fill in all the remaining open areas with small ones. It doesn't matter if the confetti overlap each other. They won't look messy under top gel.
Negative space
Is it good or bad to leave the nail area unpainted? Maybe such an attitude to design will look sloppy? All questions will be resolved by an unusual manicure, the photo of which is located below. This style is called "Negative Space" and is characterized by areas of the natural nail left in the design.
The nail, if it is he althy, has a special color, and this natural tone is ideal for the skin of its mistress. Designers leave a section of the open nail, thereby including it in the composition. However, this is not enough. To make everything look harmonious, most of the nail bed should have a decorative coating.
Perform complex lines with a stencil or clean with a brush,soaked in solvent, desired area. The most advantageous look, oddly enough, very simple shapes - a triangle, a square or a strip. The monograms, besides being difficult, seem to be drawn with pink gel.
Sharp nails
After several years of minimalism, the fashion for long nails has finally arrived. This time the stiletto shape. In everyday life, it is often called "sharp nails", and this is true. Stilettos are fully modeled, artificial nails that have a steep C-curve and a very sharp tip.
The advantage of stilettos is a strong construction that is not easily broken. An added bonus is the large design surface. A beautiful unusual manicure on stilettos looks luxurious. Applying this year's fashionable tricks and using phalangeal rings, you can easily become a style icon.
Often these nails are made with acrylic because of their high strength. Then they design with gel polishes.
Shaggy nails
At one of the fashion shows, Yana Arnold presented fluffy nails covered with pieces of fur. The idea was picked up by many companies specializing in nail design, they released artificial velor, flock. Previously, they were covered with various surfaces, but they were not applied to the nails.
A flock is made of artificial fibers, most often acrylic, and is glued to the nails in various ways. One of the most common is the use of a dispersion layer of gel polish.
The appropriate background is selected under the flock: dark gray -to gray fur, black to black. Nails of natural natural colors look very impressive: beige, white and red.
The most unusual manicure
During the development of nail art, competitions were held on various topics that needed to be embodied in manicure. These compositions are worthy of museum preservation. On ten nails, the craftsmen sculpted acrylic figures, united by one theme. Often the models could not use their hands, so as not to damage the design. Often, the nails on both hands were joined with acrylic, and the model could hardly sleep at night. But the main thing was achieved - nail art was recognized as a real art, to which everything is subject.
Butterfly nails
One of the new forms for nails has become a "butterfly". This is a decorative form, which, however, is worn quite well due to the properly built architecture. If you want to please yourself, there is nothing better than doing such a manicure. Wings can be painted as you like, for example, under a real butterfly. Then you get the impression that these lovely creatures sat down to rest on their fingertips.
Now nail art artists create designs for the podium and put forward unusual manicure ideas, which after some time are brought to life in beauty salons by ordinary workers of a file and a lamp.
