Manicure is a business card of any girl. From the nails you can immediately understand what a person is: whether he takes care of himself, whether he is collected, what sense of style he has. There are many varnishes, shades and nail designs. Any lady, even a picky one, will be able to pick up nail art to her liking. The most relevant this season is a gentle manicure in pastel colors.
What are pastel colors
Before you go to the salon and tell the master about your intention to do a pastel manicure, you need to determine for yourself what the word "pastel" means.
These include warm and cold shades of pink, green, yellow, blue, turquoise, blue and lilac.
Who suits manicure
Manicure in gentle colors is very popular among girls who want to look as natural as possible, but at the same time beautiful. If you get bored, you can always diversify it by adding an unusual ornament or sparkles.
Rescue for office workers
This design will save office workers who don't want to because of their careerbe content with ordinary nails covered with a transparent layer of varnish. Manicure in gentle colors does not focus too much attention on itself. It will satisfy the taste preferences of a woman without prejudice to work.
It is a mistake to think that pastel manicures are boring. There are many different design options, among which every girl will find something to her liking.
Blue tones
Delicate manicure in blue tones looks beautiful. This color is best used on nails of medium length. You can just paint them with your favorite shade of blue, or you can combine them with pale pink. As an option: the manicure on the middle and ring fingers is pink with a geometric blue pattern, and on the rest - pure blue. Closer to the cuticle, you can glue a few "beads" - so the manicure in delicate colors will become even more interesting.
Great combination of blue and pale yellow. Color your pinky and ring fingers yellow and paint one of them with a flower pattern.
Gradient
Gradient nail design is very popular. Basically, pastel colors are used for this technique, combining with each other. It can be orange and yellow, pink and blue, blue and green. A great option would be to combine all these shades in one pastel manicure. Due to the delicate colors, the design will not look awkward, on the contrary, the tones are interconnected and seem to smoothly flow into each other.
The very expression "gradient manicure" has become familiar to girls relativelyrecently. Many wondered how you can create such a design on the nails. In fact, everything turns out to be quite simple. The gradient is made with a sponge. It is preliminarily dyed with each color in turn.
The easiest option: paint most of the nail plate with the main shade, and apply a second color down with a sponge with a thin layer.
The most difficult thing is to choose the right colors so that they are combined with each other and do not "interrupt" each other. In addition, it is important to pay attention to the fact that on short nails a gradient from the minimum set of shades looks more beautiful, while for long nails it is better to choose several different colors.
The position of the shades doesn't matter. You can make the cuticle darker and then lighter, or vice versa.
Drawings
Manicure in light, delicate colors looks beautiful. But some girls prefer to "dilute" it with interesting drawings so that the design does not get bored soon.
Pastel colors go great with any pattern, be it minimalist patterns, geometric shapes, animals, flowers or hieroglyphs.
In order for this design not to look too childish, it is better to decorate not all nails at once, but only one or two (most often it is the ring and middle fingers).
Looks beautiful when the edge of the nail is painted in the same color as the base.
Flower ornament
Flower nail designs have always been incredibly popular. It's beautiful, feminine andvery cute. Especially in combination with pastel colors.
There are many different colors that can be used in a manicure. The main thing is to choose the right size and color so that the ornament is combined with a pastel manicure. It is immediately clear that carnations, tulips or bright red roses will not fit here. It is best to give preference to lilac branches, delicate daisies and white roses.
Dots
Don't be surprised, this is a very popular manicure technique. Dots are both minimalism and a way to give nails a certain charm. The beauty is that the dots can be made in any color and size, clear or with blurry edges, one, three or thirty.
Don't have a death grip on the color scheme and the desire to work only within it. For example, small black dots will look no less beautiful with a beige or pale pink manicure than a scattering of pale circles on a background of the same color.
Stripes
Manicure in delicate colors can be "diluted" with stripes. They are created using special manicure tapes.
Strips will make a manicure several times more interesting if you choose the right size, color and location. A great option would be a French manicure, where the tip of the nail is separated by a strip from the base.
Sequins
Glitter is the easiest way to diversify a pastel manicure. They do not attract too much attention to themselves, fit into the overall concept of nailart, only adding zest to it. Glitter design is equally good for work and evening out.
