You have received an invitation to an event that has a dress code. Not a strict "White Tie", not a solemn "Black Tie", but a more democratic "Cocktail" or "Semi-formal". These codes allow for sandals with high heels. Which pedicure to choose?
Cocktail Dress Code
Coco Chanel's classic cocktail outfit is a little black dress, although this is no longer required. The dress code is either modest jewelry with natural stones, or high-quality jewelry that matches the outfit.
High-heeled open sandals are acceptable. A black pedicure with rhinestones, which can be of different sizes, is suitable here. Look good rhinestones from Swarovski, imitating diamonds. The design of the thumb can be done with a cascade of stones, and on the rest, put one small stone in the center, near the cuticle. And you can place diamond rhinestones on a black background. Then the nails will become a decoration.
Cocktail dress designs
It is better to choose black varnish for a little black dress from Chanel. It will turn out harmoniously if you combine a black pedicure and a black manicure, linking them in the same style. Since the fingernails allow much more in terms of design, here you can make a silver jacket on a black background or print stamping. On the legs, you can limit yourself to decorating only the thumb. Indeed, from sandals, most often only it is visible. But here you can not limit yourself to stamping, but put rhinestones, grouping three together. The effect of small diamond flowers will turn out. This option is more strict. If the event is going to be fun, the following design option will do.
Black pedicure with a scattering of stones, optionally imitating diamonds, looks surprisingly good. The advantage of colored stones is that such a design will suit any dress. A bright cocktail designer dress brings a sense of joy and celebration. The classic combination with diamonds will be out of place. The necklace can be selected from semi-precious colored stones, and the same rhinestones can be placed on the nails. In combination with a floral motif of the same tones on the dress, the image will be completely designed in one style. And it is on a black background that rhinestones will especially shine.
Black pedicure can be done with a mirror rub. It's very stylish. You can choose any powder for rubbing. It is applied on black gel polish according to technology. One or two nails can be left black, and the rest done in chrome, silver or gold. This design gives a mirror effect. It lays so thin that the resulting surface reflects.
Semi-formal dress code
At semi-formal events, ladies should look so that their appearance can be described as elegant and discreet. It suggests a cocktail or day dress, trousers or a skirt with a blouse.
Restrained beige, gray or calm pink tones are often chosen for this style.
The color of the nails should not be conspicuous and at the same time must make a decent impression. You can't get away with a simple jacket here. A pedicure with black rhinestones is suitable, with which you can lay out any emblem.
Pedicure with starry rhinestones
Semi-formal dress code will decorate and complement the design with star rhinestones. This is especially appropriate at the presentation of professional awards. To get the impression of volume, before setting the rhinestones, the area where they will be is lightly sprinkled with silver glitter. Then stars are placed and at the last moment - small rhinestones. This is needed to create the illusion of the Milky Way.
Black and White Style
Sometimes you have to dress in black and white. Designer models of this style are perfection itself. Combining just two colors: black and white, you can achieve a stunning effect. Suffice it to recall the scene from the movie "My Fair Lady", where Audrey Hepburn, in the form of Eliza Doolittle, appears at the races at Ascot. In this case, you can do a black and white pedicure.
White background andblack stamping. The variety of options for this combination is amazing. Stamping, a device for printing patterns, allows you to quickly and accurately make a pattern of any complexity.
In the arsenal of nail masters there are a lot of stickers, sliders and artificial design details to complete a black and white pedicure. You can choose anything. The recurring motifs in clothes and on nails look bewitching.
Pedicure with black polish looks very advantageous in itself. It emphasizes the shape of the nails, visually increasing them. He is not afraid of the imperfections of the nail plate, which can shine through a light varnish: an uneven smile line, of different sizes on each finger, wavy nails or a bruise.
Black color evenly covers and equalizes everything. If you choose a matte finish or make a velvet effect, it will smooth out any bumps. Black is a classic tone, it will suit any clothes, any shoes. Decorate it with Swarovski crystals and feel like a style icon - 2017.
