Manicure is a visiting card of any girl. By the condition of the nails, you can determine the sense of style, composure of the lady and understand whether she takes care of herself. It is a mistake to believe that office workers are deprived of the joy of taking care of their nails and making them beautiful. On the contrary, the sight of your nails will not escape the eyes of the client. But here another question is already important: what kind of business manicure to choose in order to satisfy your taste preferences and not spoil the company's image?
Basic office manicure rules
Bright, "flashy" colors, various patterns and sparkles are strictly prohibited. Extended nails of an acute form should also be avoided - they focus too much attention on themselves. In addition, office workers constantly deal with equipment and papers, and overly long nails interfere with this. The most suitable length is 30% of the entire plate. And do not forget to ensure that the length of all nails is the same. If one of them is broken, it is better to either cut all the others, or glue the finger and wait until the nail grows back.
You should pay attention not only to the nails themselves, but also to the skin of the hands: it should be well-groomed, soft. Dry hands will ruin even the most beautiful office manicure. To bring the skin back to normal, doctors advise using special oils, moisturizers and masks. An excellent option would be baths with lotion. The water should be hot: in this way the skin will steam out, it will become much softer and more pleasant.
It is necessary to monitor the condition of the cuticles. They should always be soft, without wounds and burrs. There are many tools for caring for this part, but before using them, it is advisable to steam your hands.
Purple colors should be neutral. Business manicure does not accept bright, contrasting shades. It is best to give preference to pastel colors: peach, pale pink, beige, milky. Of course, non-standard techniques can also be used, the main thing is that the office manicure should not be defiant. It must not conflict with the dress code.
Trendy business manicure should be combined with a touch of office clothes or its details. For example, a navy blue skirt and blue nails, a black jacket and black and white nails, a white bag and a French manicure. Lots of options.
Varieties of French manicure
Business manicure ideas are endless. Regardless of the field of activity and company, you can make your nails beautiful and neat, while satisfying your own taste.
The most common option, which is preferred by most girls - French manicure. It is believed that it originated in 1976, thanks to Jeff Pink, the founder of Orly. In this case, the nailslook the most neat and do not attract too much attention. The manicure technique is quite simple: on nails of medium length, the tip is highlighted in white, and the nail plate itself is painted in a transparent, pale pink or beige color. Business French-style manicure is simple, but the nails look elegant and neat.
Many manicurists advise the following option: make all nails in French style, and paint the ring finger white. A couple of "beads" can be glued to the base. It turns out a cute and light manicure.
Another kind of French manicure: the nail plate retains a neutral color, and the rim is not painted white, but a pattern is created on it. It can be white polka dots on a black background, zebra, spotted ornament, zigzags of any color, various shapes. It all depends on the length of the nails.
Delicate colors in office manicure
Pale pink and coral are wonderfully combined. Often women paint all their nails a certain color, except for the ring finger and little finger. It turns out a very beautiful and light manicure.
You can make all nails in one color. Looks good silver, gold, peach, pale pink. For decoration, add a small "pearl" to the corner of one of the nails.
More saturated colors in manicure
Business manicure can also mean more interesting colors: red, burgundy, dark pink, purple, blue, fuchsia. Evenblack! The main thing is to choose a non-provocative shade and make sure that the color of the nails echoes the details of clothing: shoes, blouse, skirt, bag.
Learning to combine shades
It's no secret that there are overlapping colors. They do not interrupt each other, but on the contrary, they complement each other. To create a beautiful office manicure, you need to know at least a basic set of such shades: brown and beige, coral and peach, gray and pale green, yellow peach and pale lilac, pale pink and sand, fuchsia and emerald, cream and lime, pear and pistachio, pale cornflower blue and silver, gold and burgundy.
Dependence between length and color
When choosing the color of a manicure, it is necessary to take into account not only the specifics of the work and your preferences, but also the length of the nails. There are colors that are combined exclusively with long nails or only with short ones.
Colors like red, black and blue look best on short nails.
Silver, gold, burgundy, purple will suit long ones.
Other shades are equally well suited to both long nails and short ones.
Ways to make your manicure last longer
Going to a manicurist is quite expensive, so this procedure is rarely done several times a week. There are situations when foreign objects are accidentally touched with a nail, while a layer of varnish is peeled off. In this case, you have to wash the entire manicure or go for a new one. Toonce again do not empty your wallet, think about using a more reliable varnish. The matte product, of course, looks beautiful, but it peels off after two or three days. It is best to give preference to the gel coating. Such a varnish costs one and a half times more than a decorative one, but the result is wonderful: it is applied quickly, the nails acquire a beautiful shine, and the color lasts for several weeks.
Some girls advise doing extensions. It does not necessarily imply an incredible length of nails. The main idea of this procedure is to strengthen the nail plate and create an interesting pattern on it that will last for a long time.
