Major trends
A manicure is your accessory, an addition to the whole image, it should not stand out from the general picture and be defiantly striking.
- French manicure. The classic version of the French manicure with painting the free edge of the nail in white is not forbidden even in offices with a super-strict dress code, it is laconic and always elegant. Over time, new varieties of an ordinary jacket appeared: a millennium jacket for an evening out with a shimmering shiny coating, a colored jacket using combinations of a wide variety of colored varnishes and fan jacket, where the classic version is decorated with additional rhinestones, beads, etc.
- Monochrome manicure. A perfectly even monochromatic coating is difficult to spoil with anything, and its color can be absolutely any. In the cold season, girls usually prefer rich natural shades, and in spring and summer, as if missing the warmth and the sun, they allow themselves bright, and sometimes acidic varnishes of all kinds of colors. By the way, monophonic manicure can be either the usual glossy or even matte, not striking.
- Reverse jacket or moon manicure with a curved and concave moon - the "smile" line. He came to us from the bold fashionistas of the last century, when any bright decision in clothes or, even worse, in makeup, could forever put a brand on a girl as a vulgar, dissolute person. Back then, painting only the tips of the nails in bright red was considered a sign of incredible courage for the good of fashion, but now it is a tribute to retro style and just a trendy trend.
- Feng Shui manicure, better known as ordinary coloring of one finger in a contrasting color. As a rule, girls visually highlight the ring finger, not even suspecting that it is he who, in feng shui, carries the energy of new meetings and acquaintances.
Nail length
This is not the first season at the peak of popularity. natural beauty a woman who is only emphasized with discreet makeup and simple cut of clothes. Manicure is no exception: long sharp nails have long faded into the background. Fashion-savvy girls have long preferred neat marigolds with a protruding edge no more than 1-2 mm and a well-groomed cuticle and skin of the hands.
Special fashionable manicure for short nails
Modern fashion allows you to give free rein to imagination and combine a variety of styles into one or modify existing ideas.
So, in the classic French manicure, a completely new non-standard jacket appeared: a smooth line repeating the bend of the nail was replaced by a clear, horizontal stripe or other sharp geometric shapes, and sometimes more than one.
Geometry is visible everywhere. Lunar manicure (reverse jacket) has also become sharp and clearly looks upward at an angle. Often this triangle is simply left unpainted, using a stencil or template for convenience. Or, conversely, only the moon is painted over.
Design
For nail design, shops offer such a wide variety of accessories and jewelry that it is sometimes difficult to opt for just one. But, as you know, everything is good in moderation.
- Velvet for nails. One of the latest novelties for manicure design. Apply transparent varnish to the prepared nails and, without letting it dry out, dip abundantly in the "velvet", then shake off the excess. It looks very unusual, lasts a long time, but keep in mind that on light shades, all dust and dirt tends to settle.
- Stickers for nails. Cover your nails with clear polish and let it dry well. Apply base color varnish to nails, wait until dry. Immerse the sticker in water for a few seconds and, carefully peeling off the protective layer with tweezers, press it firmly to the surface of the nail, without moving it for some time. Paint on top with clear varnish. You can also see stickers in stores that cover the entire nail. This season, we do not recommend purchasing them, as a rule, whole landscapes, large flowers and even various sights are applied to such stickers, which have long become outdated and sunk into oblivion. As well as rhinestones of all kinds of shapes and colors, appropriate only for an evening out.
- But you can afford a manicure with geometric patterns, it doesn't matter if you use ready-made stickers for it, draw it by hand with a thin brush, or use a stencil.
- Ombre or gradient. Well, it looks just mind-blowing, and it doesn't take much time if you get used to it. Let the clear polish dry on smooth, polished nails and prepare a piece of sponge, several polishes with similar shades for color transitions and, ideally, a special coat to protect the cuticles.
Apply the nail polish on the sponge, layer by layer, running over each other a little in such a way that the transition of shades looks the most harmonious. Apply the sponge to the nail, trying to make the gradient even and cover the entire nail. Once dry, coat with clear blending varnish and remove the protective film from the skin around the nails.
