Some believe that a manicure at sea should not be done with protective coatings: varnish or gel. Without them, healing sea baths will be beneficial, all nutrients will be absorbed by weakened nails. But in practice it turns out the opposite. Beautiful, well-groomed hands and feet with an elegant design delight their owners, and the metabolism is so accelerated that the cuticle is not closed and does an excellent job of obtaining minerals from sea water. What manicure at sea will be the most fashionable? Let's find out.
Original design variations
The famous brand of varnishes OPI has a collection "Russia", in which there is a real marine color. It is called the Russian Navy. The company noticed the irresistibility of the uniforms of Russian naval officers and created a deep blue color with a slight hint of sea wave and the smallest red shimmer, like a sea captain's tunic. It is perfect for nautical designs.
Marine attributes - an anchor and a vest. Traditionally, sailors use blue and white colors. But girls can change it at their discretion, it will still turn out nautical.
The colors of nature that surround us on the sea dictate their palette. This is the color of sand - dry and wet, sea waves and sky (these are different shades of blue), snow-white foam and pale pink shells. There are a lot of combination options. And if you don't feel like drawing anchors, cover all your nails in blue and make a white smile.
Color Festival
Sunset on the sea is gorgeous. It can be repeated on the nails by making an ombre - a smooth transition from blue to lemon and blue, and put a red-orange sun in the center. It's evening. To create a morning mood, the transition is made from the color of aqua or turquoise to pale blue and white, and white checkmarks are placed on top - these are seagulls.
Manicure on the sea can depict palm trees at sunset. They are drawn with a black gel pen on a red-yellow gradient. If you do not want to draw them, you can always pick up a sticker. Against the background of sand, red and white fish and starfish will look beautiful. It's better to stick them on. Like natural shell pieces, they are available in all colors.
You should not turn all your nails into paintings, they will be lost and only variegation will remain. Interesting compositions are obtained by combining marine elements on different fingers. As a result, each nail is decorated with one thing, but together they form a single ensemble.
Manicure and pedicure by the sea
In the world of nail art, the rule of the same design on the arms and legs has not been observed for a long time. But the style needs to be maintained. If on the hands of marine drawings, then on the legsmay be a different theme (eg flowers). This is not harmonious.
It is not necessary to repeat the design of manicure and pedicure. It is enough to choose the same tone of varnish and decorate only the thumb. For legs there are rings of different sizes. You can decorate one or two fingers with them. This will emphasize the marine style.
The photo above shows a variant of a very feminine marine-themed manicure. The following design options for a pedicure will suit him:
- The thumb is an anchor on a pink background, the rest of the fingers are white.
- The thumb is blue with a wheel, the rest of the fingers are pink.
- Thumb is white with pink dots, then blue, pink, blue, pink.
The nails on the legs are very small, it will not be possible to make an expressive drawing on them. But the thumb can accommodate large items. Manicure and pedicure at the sea always attracts attention, let's not make mistakes.
Calm option
White-pink or white-blue gamma with elements of a marine theme is suitable for walks, excursions and dates. It's both romantic and on topic. To emphasize a feminine look, it’s good to make one speckled nail - French peas.
The French theme for such an image will also be relevant. Of course, we will add an anchor and stripes. Shape - soft square, coating - gel.
The same design as in the photo above can also be done in pink. The white-yellow stripe also looks interesting, but it requirestanned skin. If you go to rest in the velvet season, then some kind of tan will still be present. Try using yellow instead of blue. At dusk, the nails will begin to reflect the light so that it seems - they glow!
Designer nails
Manicure at sea can be entrusted to professionals. And then choose whatever you want. What design would a mermaid make? She does not work, there are no household chores either. So, the nails are most likely long. Starfish, pearls and shells - that's what suits her. And for a beach holiday in a sun lounger, and for trips, and for parties. When the prince kisses her hand, he can stare at the manicure.
Such nails are best to build up. Gel or acrylic - it doesn't matter, now they produce good materials that do not spoil the nail plate. The main thing is to sign up in advance so as not to look for a free master at the last moment.
Anything can happen on vacation. Suddenly a nail breaks and you have to go to the salon? Ask the master to take this into account so that in this case the drawing does not suffer. The photo shows a design that any master can easily perform. And in case of loss of one nail, it is easy to come up with an alternative design. For example, make it completely white.
Just in case, take a nail file and the main tone varnish with which the design was made. It will be calmer.
Practical recommendations
It is better to shorten the length as much as possible. Fashionable manicure on the sea in 2017 dictates a juicy manicure for short nails. This is practical: for morefor a long time you can forget about the nail file. If you do not plan to visit the salon abroad, preference is given to gel polish. It would be prudent to take a bottle of regular varnish of the same tone with you in case the ends are printed. However, it can be successfully replaced by an ordinary transparent tone.
Before the trip, go for a hygienic manicure procedure: at the sea, the cuticle, freed from all unnecessary, will intensively absorb mineral s alts, useful sea baths will not slow down the he alth of your nails. Use cuticle oil to keep nails from drying out.
It would be useful to take a couple of bottles of varnish in bright and dark colors. And don't forget the liquid to remove them.
To make the manicure last longer
And finally, a few tips on what is better to choose a manicure for the rest. At sea, it may not be possible to visit a nail master. In this case, you will have to paint your nails with varnish. In a sense, this is even better: you can often change the color and design. Before the trip, it is good to strengthen the nails with a transparent gel with sealing the ends and paint them on the sea, changing the accents. Or cover them with a colored monochromatic gel, and make a design with varnishes on top.
If you choose regular polish, remember a few principles. The key to a strong adhesion of varnish to the nail plate is careful preparation: degreasing and applying a nail conditioner. The next stage is the application of a three-phase varnish system: base, color, top. There are varnishes that combine the base and color. It will be written on the bottle in the compositioningredients.
Saving a manicure at sea is easy. To avoid scratching the glossy surface, do not bury your palms in the sand. When sorting through the pebbles, try not to print the ends of the nails. In case of small chips, immediately paint over this place with a colorless varnish, and the manicure will last a long time.
