Several years ago, nail art was in its heyday. Women's nails sometimes looked like canvases for painting, but the result could not always be attributed to art, even conditionally.
Today everything natural is in fashion. Modern manicure is no exception. Good craftsmen have long abandoned crazy colors, mind-blowing patterns and sudden shapes. It didn't hurt the diversity, the new school of nail design isn't boring at all. On the contrary, the return to the classics had only a beneficial effect, allowing to work with natural harmonious forms, eye-pleasing shades and stylish, not lurid patterns. It is unlikely that anyone would think of systematizing all the available developments, but it is still possible to single out the most interesting novelties and successful ideas from the general variety.
Simple rules
Before you get down to business, it will not be superfluous to remember some important points:
- The key to a good manicure is well-groomed he althy nails;
- dark polish looks good only on short nails, but on long nails it looks predatory and vulgar;
- the color of the manicure should be in harmony with decorative cosmetics and clothes;
- peeled varnish, chippedsections, nails of different lengths are unacceptable.
How not to
Sharp elongated nail ends, voluminous pattern, too many colors used - all this has long ceased to be fashionable.
Super long artificial nails painted in different colors will be appropriate if you work in a circus troupe or act in films about the early 2000s. Modern manicure does not accept deliberate luxury, an abundance of accessories, glued beads and rhinestones, decals. Of course, beautiful additions in the form of glitter and adhesive elements are acceptable, but their number must be justified. And the quality should not be in doubt either.
Gradient
Manicure fashion trends gravitate towards good natural shades. A gradient is made from two, and sometimes from more colors. The main condition is that the transition should be smooth, blurry. If you approach the matter wisely and do everything carefully, you will get a beautiful and stylish manicure.
The gradient tutorial is very simple. To work, we need a varnish of two shades, a fixer and a cosmetic sponge.
Paint the nail with the base color. Apply a contrasting color to the tip. And now gently blot with a sponge, pressing it to the nail, roll it in all directions. Let dry, apply fixer. Use nail polish remover to clean the cuticles and the skin around the nail if it is dirty.
Multiple colors
Students of the 90s painted their nails with everything that was available. It could even be about 10 colors - one for each nail. Today, such brightness is ridiculous.
But a modern multi-color manicure is not uncommon. The trick is that these colors differ from each other by half a tone, well, or by one tone. Some manufacturers even produce a series of varnishes for such a manicure. It looks very impressive. This idea can even be used for an evening look.
Easy to make - just paint your nails with matching colors, trying to be as neat as possible.
Moon Manicure
This option is one of the newest trends. Modern moon manicure can be divided into two types: in the first, a contrasting strip is drawn along the cuticle, in the second, it repeats the shape of a white spot at the base of the nail.
In order to accurately make such a manicure, you will need special tools. They cover part of the nail when painting, preventing the main color from getting into the area that should be contrasting. You can buy such applicators in specialized stores. But if you are not lucky enough to acquire this useful device - it does not matter. Applicators can be cut out of cardboard yourself.
Close the main part of the nail, leaving the "moon", apply a contrasting varnish. Let dry, cover the "moon" with the appropriate applicator, apply the main polish.
Glossy and matte surface
Great idea - combinationdifferent textures of the same shade. A similar manicure can be done according to the French principle. If you choose a varnish of rich colors, it is suitable even for a celebration.
Art drawings made with matte varnish on a glossy surface look great (or vice versa).
This manicure requires great care in work, the shortcomings will be evident if they are not eliminated.
Combining glossy and matte polishes in completely different shades is also a good idea. The main thing is that the colors are in harmony with each other.
Color block
Bright multi-color manicure is suitable for informal events. It is appropriate for a summer party, vacation, picnic. Doing such a manicure, do not forget about the sense of proportion. In order to create a bright image, 3 colors are enough. Very interesting manicure, the master class of which is given below.
To create graceful stripes we need:
- water container;
- varnish 3 matching colors;
- toothpick;
- nail polish remover.
Drip varnish into the water. With the help of a toothpick or a needle, we draw lines, creating a fantasy pattern. Immerse the brush in water, dive your nails under the stain, prying it. Fingers will inevitably get dirty, but don't be afraid - everything will be removed with a nail polish remover.
Don't rush to deal with the second hand. Allow to dry first, gently wipe the skin. Repeat with the other hand.
French
Modern manicure inFrench style has long been considered a classic. This method has been around for many years, but it is extremely successful. That is why it has been popular for more than a dozen years.
This option is ideal for business style. Nails will look well-groomed, but not gone. French looks equally good on teenage girls and respectable ladies.
In order to make such a manicure, use the applicators. An interesting idea for summer is a multi-colored jacket.
It is desirable to make it on short nails, so it will look much more advantageous. And for a solemn exit, you can use art. Drawings on the nails of the ring fingers will revive the classic jacket.
