Well-groomed hands are not only considered an indicator of the desire to please others, but in some cases are a requirement of etiquette and dress code. Most jobs that involve female labor allow and even require neat manicures.
Manicure is natural when the free edge of the nail is shaped in harmony with the shape of the brush, and the surface of the plate itself is polished.
Many people prefer French manicure, which looks a little less natural, but very elegant.
Most women are not satisfied with the colors of the natural palette, but use colored varnishes and all kinds of nail decorations to create their image.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
The dazzling sparkle of these stones is mesmerizing. The rays of light refracted in the facets of a diamond invariably attract attention, which is why nail decoration with rhinestones looks so impressive and elegant.
And if diamonds in jewelry, according to the requirements of etiquette, is appropriateworn on special occasions and after 17 pm, then their "little brothers" can be used as a decoration for nail design at any time of the day, while observing the measure and style expediency.
In brilliance and radiance
Glitter nail decoration has already become a classic. Nail service masters usually offer to decorate in this way no more than one, less often two nails on one hand.
Sequins are distinguished by the diameter of their plates. The smallest ones look like sparkling dust, which the master sprinkles on the client's nail, and the largest ones are more like sequins, which are used with oil-free tweezers and sticks.
Excessive sequins look grotesque and may indicate a lack of taste in a fashionista or her master. An exception can be made only for the New Year's party or if the whole image is decided in the original style, when sparkling nails fit into it in the best way.
Beads, stones and pearls
Jewelry made of beads and small pearls will give a piquancy to the image. For most women, we are talking about synthetic counterparts, but we althy young ladies can pamper themselves with natural materials.
Experts recommend using these rather heavy and large jewelry on strong nails and only on special occasions, such as a wedding day or other significant celebration, as the result of the master's painstaking work may be too vulnerable.
With the development of the beauty industry, the requirements are growing not only for the aesthetics of manicure, but also for its durability. In the case of using natural or synthetic pebbles and pearls to decorate nails, it is preferable to opt for gel polishes and gels that harden under an ultraviolet lamp, rather than ordinary acetone-soluble nail coatings.
Sliders, stickers, translators and ribbons
An easy and quick way to make a spectacular manicure is to use sliders as nail decorations. A thin polymer film with a pattern is separated from the cardboard base with a drop of warm water and tweezers.
Placed on top of a base coat nail plate, it must be topped with a protective clear coat.
The use of such sliders or translators produces a realistic visual effect of hand-painted art.
Nail stickers are pieces of a polymer film, less often paper, on an adhesive basis, which are used as a fragmentary decoration for nails. Using stickers to decorate the entire surface of the plate is impractical and rarely comes out neat due to the resulting wrinkles.
In the trend stickers in the form of ribbons and lace. But the latter should not be abused, since an excess of graceful scallops of this decoration can enter into a stylistic conflict with the general image, clothes, hairdo.
Decoration without decorations
You can diversify your manicure andwithout rhinestones, sequins and decals. Painting nails with varnishes of different colors is possible even for a lady who does not have artistic abilities, if special stencils are at hand.
Intricate patterns are also made using an orange stick previously degreased with alcohol or nail polish remover or a piece of foam rubber sandwiched in tweezers until the material dries. After that, a top protective layer of clear varnish is applied.
At the same time, the colors of the varnish are mixed in some places, which makes it possible to achieve interesting shades and harmonious color transitions. Thus, you can add zest to your image without using nail jewelry.
Today's trend is fimo sticks and stucco
Nail design using fimo sticks is held in high esteem by young girls and teenagers. The bright polymer tubes are reminiscent of rubber bands.
For use in work, the master cuts off the thinnest plate of the stick with a sharp blade and receives a piece of fruit, a flower, a geometric pattern, a butterfly, etc.
Also, volumetric figures of any shape are created from special polymer materials by molding or stamping, which are used for nail design.
Reviews of lovers of nail design
Nail service masters with sufficient qualifications and experience are able to realize any whim of theirclient. But not every visitor to a beauty salon prefers complex fantasy configurations on her own nails, since the cases when they are appropriate do not happen so often, and in everyday life, voluminous stucco roses and placers of precious stones on the nails look too catchy.
Moderate use of tasteful jewelery wins acclaim from stylists and nail technicians.
The quality and safety of the work of the master depends not so much on the chosen decoration, but on the observance of the technology and the quality of the materials, as well as on the natural state of the nails, therefore, conflicting customer reviews about the preference of certain decoration methods should not be taken literally.
Nail polish, wire and inspiration
The variety of jewelry and the wide possibilities of using nail polish inspire not only the creation of manicures. The heroine of a popular Louboutin video used red polish to decorate the soles of her shoes, but creative people went much further in their creative self-expression.
The volume of color-coated bottles is quite large even for fashionistas who do manicures and pedicures with a regularity of 3-4 days. Using polish of the same color can get boring or annoying, so a bottle of a hateful color can sit unnecessarily for months or even years to end your days in a trash bin ingloriously.
Therefore, creative natures with a master's vein use varnishes and nail decorations to create real works of art. After allhigh-quality varnish is not cheap, and throwing money down the drain is not in honor of zealous ladies.
Wire jewelry and nail polish have gone viral on the Internet. Craftsmen use these materials to make jewelry and souvenirs, trinkets for the interior and hair accessories.
The measure of using colored nail polishes and jewelry should be akin to using spices in cooking.
In moderation, they add spice, in excess they can ruin the whole image and a pleasant impression.
Therefore, excess decorative coatings and elements are better used to create jewelry from nail polish, and not to keep the style "lurid".
