Stylish color combinations
This season, fashion trends offer women's attention a wide color palette of quality coatings for a pedicure. It unites all groups (nude, pastel, monochrome and bright) nobility and muted shades. The fact that the design of the toenails of the legs this season is built on interesting color contrasts is also gratifying. For example, the best combinations of shades today are mixes:

Not inferior to him and monochrome combinations. For example, today you can do a pedicure using a black base with white decor. The design in black-and-gold colors also looks beautiful, with a low-key gold ornament applied on the dark base.
It is necessary to note the nude range, the coverings of which look great as the basis of a pedicure, and even with a small decor they give the female image notes of romance and refinement. Heavenly, light yellow, pinkish tones perfectly convey the feeling of summer and freshness. Harmonious combinations of white and olive with black pattern, peach with coral color. Original design in pink and lilac colors, decorated with metal stripes.
The best options
Summer season pedicure breathes ease and freshness. No need for design complexity, today almost every woman has all the means to create a spectacular design of the toes. Naturally, these are high-quality coatings and moderate decor. The bet is not on the number of embellishments, but on aesthetics, because a small pattern looks better on short nails than on the diversity of colors on each finger.
Partial nail art
One of the extraordinary solutions of the changeable fashion is the partial decoration of the nail plate. At the same time, the base of the nail is not painted over with pigmented varnish: a light pattern is made on top of it. This design looks unusual and stylish, even if the pattern on the nails is quite simple. Someone uses water-based stickers for accent nails. Others prefer to create patterns with bouillons (micro-beads).
Cuticle area selection
Not less than the original design option is to accentuate the cuticle area with a monotonous nail base. This technique is made of rhinestone, as well as a contrast gel-based varnish. Since the length of the nails is already small, they use either small rhinestones for decoration, or simply draw a narrow line (for example, with gold or silver varnish).The selection of the cuticle can develop into a small pattern, be carried out in the form of a normal line or asymmetry.
Flower motifs
This season, more than ever, the preference in decorating nails is given to the flower theme. Flowers - lavender, lily, dandelion - can be any, attracts the attention of the effect of the aquarium. The main thing is not to overdo it: for expressive pedicure one flower accent is enough. More than one flower in the design should not be. It is better to have it on the big toe, leaving the rest of the nails solid.
Metal coatings
One of the trends of the season - the effect of metal. Create such coverage can be different. It will look good on the nails of the legs gel polish with a shimmer. If you do not like this option, stylists offer to pay attention to the use of foil. Of several types of such decor, any woman can choose the most interesting option for her. Coating with a metallic effect is also stylish. By the way, they can be combined with foil, choosing the decor for the nail of the thumb.
Patterns
If earlier in the fashion were complex patterns, moderation of the decor is now in the center of attention. One of the most popular elements of nail decoration this season are sticky scotch strips of different colors with a metal effect. With their help, an asymmetrical design is created on the thumbs, the joints of the coatings of two different shades are masked. It is fashionable to select the middle of the thumb with a small pattern. For example, you can cover the center of the nail plate with a contrasting varnish and decorate it with Japanese decor kamifubuki.
Dry manicure
This technique is one of the most popular this season. Unedged or European pedicure is considered more benign for toes. In this case, the cuticle is not cut, and pushed. The method allows to achieve the perfect preparation of the nail plate, eliminating the further appearance of burrs. This method is also convenient because it does not need to soak the nails, and this allows you to keep their shape (the plates in the water become flat) and extend the durability of the applied helium coating.
Unusual ideas
Anyone who loves experiments, fashion trends offer to decorate toenails with different creative ideas. One of them is newspaper design. Make it simple: cover the nails with pigment, and then on the dried coating impose a newspaper soaked in alcohol. For prints in the form of printed text is enough 30-40 seconds, after which the newspaper is removed from the nails and cover the pedicure with a finish layer, followed by drying.
Velvety effect can be created using flock powder. This design is created in seconds: the nail with a sticky layer of the top coating is covered with flock powder, and then dried under a UV lamp. With a minimum cost of decorating the surface, the coating effect will be unusual and beautiful. With such nails it is difficult to go unnoticed.
Beautifully look such drawings under a knitted cloth. However, in order for such a pedicure to be stylish, it is important to choose a sticker on a large nail and a matte top. A similar look with a velvety finish will look stylish.
By choosing a design for neutral shades, in addition to the contrast of white and black, you can rely on the contrast of glossy and matte texture.
Antitrands of summer
One of the main anti-trends can be called false nails. If at fashion shows it is still done in order to save time on the design and drying of varnish, then at home it is better not to resort to such design options. Naturalness is in fashion today, and suddenly falling off nails from the toes in the most inappropriate place will look, to put it mildly, creepy.
Long nails are hopelessly outdated. We can not allow the nail plate protrudes more than 2 mm behind the finger. This is not only ugly, but also extremely uncomfortable. Yes, and look long toenails as if their mistress went to the Sabbath.Eliminated too angular shape, everything should strive for naturalness.
Today, design in acid colors is considered to be a terrible design. Such a pedicure evokes thoughts about the past, and besides, it does not fit into any female image. This is a vulgar and overly catchy, so the neon tones, however desirable it is, should be replaced with palette of noble colors. In fashion, femininity, to which the protest acid and toxic tones are irrelevant.
It is important to abandon the modeling and complex surround decor. The nails on the legs are already short, the abundance of stucco and large crystals will make their shape even smaller. In general, it will look ugly, and make it harder to choose clothes that have nothing left to do, how to adapt to the existing pedicure.
The decor should be minimal and practical, which cannot be said about the volumetric elements that cling to everything with which they touch.
It's time to get rid of the "wrong" drawings. The print under the skins of animals is hopelessly outdated: decorations of accent nails with zebra and leopard patterns today seem to be a sign of bad taste. The pictures should feel light. Obsolete and coating with a cat effect and even more so gel polish under the tortoise colors.
It's time to move away from the abundance of rhinestones, covering almost the entire nail plate. Lightness is in fashion today, and it is difficult to create it if all the nails are studded with glitter of various sizes. Moreover, such a design today, if it is suitable for a female image, is only an evening one.
The phrase that stones do not happen much today is obsolete, because for the demonstration of the status there are enough ordinary female ornaments.
