Options for a modern pedicure design

Rarely any woman today in the care of her beauty forgets to pay attention to pedicure feet. And indeed: nowadays this is not a problem, since, by doing the minimum set of necessary equipment, you can do a pedicure better than a salon one. However, it is not enough to be able to do it: you need to know what is relevant and what is already out of date, because every season fashion trends leave some designs in the past. It is necessary to elaborate on the features of the options of modern design pedicure.

First you need to understand that the equipment that is used in nail salons, is different because it is purchased for processing nails at home. If professional equipment implies hardware pedicure, then at home a woman often processes nails using nail scissors and tweezers. This, of course, increases the total duration of the pedicure. In addition, this fact makes it necessary to painstakingly treat each finger so that, as a result, the prepared nails do not have a painful and injured look.

As for the lacquer coatings, then today the priority is hybrid products or so-called gel varnishes. They differ from conventional coatings not only in appearance. These are high-quality lacquer products, which, subject to pedicure technology, keep on the nail plates for about four weeks. However, they often do not need to be adjusted and do not break off from the base. Even after two weeks, they look as if the varnish has just been applied.

Gel polishes have a wide range of colors, due to which you can choose shades to match your favorite, casual clothes or to luxurious evening looks. Today they are distinguished by a variety of textures, which allows to diversify the design of a pedicure, taking into account fashion trends. To date, trademarks offer customers such gel polishes as:

• traditional glossy;
• matte and velvety;
• with chameleon effect, changing color depending on the change of ambient temperature;

• options "cat's eye";
• cover with a translucent texture;
• yogurt line;
• with the effect of a metal surface;

• pearl with pearl effect;
• with glitter and glitter blend;
• with aquarium effect.

In addition, for a manicure need a base coat, top and decorative elements. For drying each layer at home, women purchase a special lamp. Despite the fact that it can be large (for drying two legs at the same time), compact models of UV lamps are often purchased.

Knowing that women use for home pedicure, it is easy to reproduce stylish examples of experienced salon specialists. Although there are too many pictures on the Internet, not all designs on images are already relevant.

For a start it is worth noting that Today, fashion attributed to anti-trends.

• It's time to get rid of false nails. This is considered a sign of bad taste. In addition, most of these nails fall off at the most inopportune moment, which puts a woman in an awkward position.
• Unacceptable length. The woman is valued naturalness. Long nails are already claws, with their emphasis will create the effect of neglect.

• It is time to reconsider the shades of coatings that are available in the home set. Acid tones “a la retro” are hopelessly outdated. The time of neon girls is time to leave in the past.
• We got into anti-trending complex voluminous nail decorations, which include modeling and large crystals. It is not only old-fashioned, but also uncomfortable, because such nails constantly cling to anything.

• Not forgotten fashion change sparkling decor. If earlier it was stylish to decorate nails with rhinestones almost over the entire area of ​​the nail plate, today such a decor should know a sense of proportion.

Despite the prohibitions and restrictions, this season, stylists offer several new solutions for the design of a pedicure.

• In a fashion accentuation of the cuticle area. Making different from the moon pedicure, because you need to emphasize the area almost at the very base of the accent nail. This is done in the form of an arcuate strip, using gold, silver gel polish or small rhinestones.

• The number of decor tends to a minimum. Often, even a luxurious evening pedicure has small accents only on the big toes with one-color coating of all nail plates in one color.

• In the trend of partial staining of the nail plate accent nail. For example, the only nail design can be a drawing on an unpainted basis. Pigment is not always used.

• French on too short nails do not. This shortens the already insufficient length, giving the nail plates a kind of underdevelopment.

• Popular ethnic motifs in the design of a pedicure. At the same time you can not overdo it with images. They should not be more than two on one foot.

• Demanded dry or European pedicure. It is distinguished from the traditional uncut method of working with the cuticle (it is pushed back) and the absence of soaking. It is more gentle and eliminates the formation of a burr.

• Fashionable muted shades of gel polishes and rich noble tones. Color pedicure should not "hit" on the eyes. Popular neutral gamma. The focus is on the use of unusual materials. With their help, you can make a pedicure better than a salon one, which, with a professional appearance, will save time on drawing small elements.

• The shape of the nail tends to be natural. It should maximally protrude a finger by 2 mm.

• It is fashionable to combine in design glossy and matte textures of coatings. In this case, as a rule, serves as a velvety top. Gloss can be added, for example, under the jacket.

The colors of this season are many-sided. Fashion does not dictate clear rules, allowing each woman to choose for themselves those shades with which she can create a perfect bow. In priority today nude scale with its pinkish-gray and powdery tones, as well as the colors of tan. This range is good for creating a classic pedicure for every day and a jacket. The pink tones give the feminine look sophistication and hint at the romance of nature. This pedicure is great for completing women's bows for every day.

All these tones are well combined with white. White color is the basis of many color combinations, it brings lightness to the design of a pedicure. For example, it can be combined with such color solutions as:

• pale pink and black;
• light yellow and pink;

• yellow or creamy;
• pearl silver and black;

• coral and gold;
• turquoise and sandy;
• lilac or purple;

• pink and lilac;
• green or pistachio;
• burgundy and black;

• gold or silver;
• blue or cyan;
• wine and red.

The pastel colors, their soft contrasts, the combination of two tones due to different decor are popular this season. Not paid attention to fashion trends and black color pedicure, today it is in the spotlight, allowing you to emphasize the luxury of the female image through a stylish pedicure with silver, gold pattern or rhinestones.

Among other colors stand out wine and blue. These shades may have different color combinations, depending on the design chosen. As a rule, they are often softened with white color, which adds elegance to even the simplest design. The pedicure looks beautiful in the contrast of black and silver colors. No less luxurious design of the toe nails with a purple frosted base and fine stasis.

In this season, in addition to monochromatic solutions, stylists propose to use patterns when designing nails. Previously, the drawings were sometimes too voluminous, which simplified the look of the design. Today, fashion draws attention to the expressive design. This means that the emphasis should not be much.

With regards to the subject is worth considering: the pattern should fit on the nail plate. Partial fragments of the picture are lost, while, say, one flower, which is located completely on the nail plate, will better convey the mood of the design. Beautifully look branches with small flowers that can be identified, for example, small rhinestones. From floral motifs stand out chamomile, lily, sakura, dandelions.

In addition to a variety of colors, trendy ethnic motifs. At the same time, the accent nail can be covered with the image completely over the entire area, and the rest of the nails are painted with varicolored lacquers to match the elements of the drawing. Geometrical print is also welcomed today; it is not uncommon to use special adhesive foil strips to create it.

If earlier most of the decoration of the master was given to microscopic painting on nails, today even a non-professional can make a beautiful design. The secret is to use a special decor that is glued to the nail plate. It is worth highlighting some of the most interesting design techniques that every woman can handle.

• Kamifubuki. This decor is nothing like colorful confetti. They can be round, triangular, square, in the shape of hearts, stars and honeycombs. Kamifubuki used today for a partial emphasis on the nail plate. For example, they are glued to the center of the nail on a contrast gel polish, framing on both sides with metallic tape or gilding.

• Foil. Today, this special foil decor is one of the trends in pedicure design. It can be different, which allows a woman to choose an option according to her own taste preferences. This decor is perfectly combined with metallic type coatings; it can also decorate matte gel polishes. Foil overflows can be gold, silver, it can be a partial decoration of nail plates in the design of "broken glass".

• Stamping Stamping allows you to create high-quality pattern on the pigmented layer, without resorting to tedious drawing. In this case, the lines of the pattern are smooth and thin, so this decor looks professional, as if it was painted by an experienced master of nail salon.On the template put a little gel polish, contrasting color for the main coating. Then the drawing is transferred onto a special sponge, and from there onto the nail plate itself.

• Broths. Under this decor mean small beads. Particle size may vary, which is convenient for decoration. For example, if the entire nail plate is easier to sprinkle with very small broths, the decor is easier to spread out of the larger elements. Outwardly, such a decoration resembles semolina. Looks at the nails design with bouillons beautiful and unusual.

• Stickers. This decor is remarkable in that with a minimum of time it allows you to decorate the accent nail with the most professional effect. However, the sticker is different: the varieties on a sticky basis are quite capricious in their work and need several layers of topcoat to last for a long time. Water-based options are much more convenient in this regard: they remove the film from them, then lower them into water to remove the paper backing and apply it to the layer of applied topcoat. After they are straightened and the fine folds are removed, the coating is dried and again covered with top, followed by drying.

• Flock powder. This substance allows you to create a special velvety effect of the coating. It is quite simple to do it: you will need flock powder itself, which can be purchased in a specialized store. It is applied on the finish layer applied, but not dried under the lamp. Then the coating is dried for a specified time (usually one or two minutes, depending on the type of lamp and the type of finish used).

• Newspaper. Printed letters or even hieroglyphs on nails today are considered one of the design trends. It is easy to make such an adornment: take pieces of a newspaper, put them in alcohol for a few seconds, and then apply them tightly for propelling to accent nails. After 30-40 seconds, they are removed, put a layer of top on top and dry it under a UV lamp.

You can see the novelties of the pedicure design, referring to the illustrative examples. They show how today looks like the classic design of the nails of the feet.

To make a beautiful and high-quality pedicure, knowing the technology of the masters of salons, every woman can. It is necessary to walk briefly through the main stages, which will show the essence of the work and convince that there is nothing impossible in it. The only thing that needs to be taken into account is that technology requires accuracy and patience, otherwise you cannot rely on the perfect result.

• First, prepare the nails themselves, treating them and removing the cuticle, as well as pterygium, which prevents the growth of a beautiful nail plate and the implementation of high-quality nail coating gel gel. To soften the skin and cuticle use a special oil.
• When pterygium and cuticle are removed, gloss is removed from the surface of the nail. To do this, use a special soft grinding. Only gloss is removed from the nail, it is impossible to thin the plate with excessive diligence.

• The nail is treated with a degreaser or dehydrator, removing the remnants of sawdust. A thin layer of the base coat is applied to the prepared nail and dried under a special lamp.
• One or two layers of pigment are applied to the base. So that it does not flow on the skin around the nail, the layer should be as thin as possible.

• After applying the pigment, he is given one minute to spread on the nail plate, and then dried under the lamp. During this time, it will be distributed over the surface evenly.
• After pigmentation, the nails are decorated using kamifubuki, stickers, foil, stamping or rhinestones. The decor is glued to the top layer of the coating.
• When the decor is fixed in the right place of the nail, the top is dried under the lamp, and then the top of the decor is covered with another layer of top and the nail is dried again.

Every woman can master the pedicure process, because in fact it is much easier than it might seem at first glance. If you want to learn how to do a pedicure qualitatively and professionally, please note that it will take a lot of time. We offer you simple examples of pedicure, which can make every girl.

• Elegant design using water-based stickers.Pick up a beautiful gel polish and the desired pattern of the sticker, gently stick it on the dry top and distribute it on the nail, removing all small folds with a brush.
• Luxurious solution using black. You need a top with a matte effect and the finished decor in the form of stickers. Greek ornament of gold color on one toe will decorate the whole pedicure better than if you decorate each finger with rhinestones.

• Such a design can do each. All that is needed in this case is to make a solid pedicure and, after a layer of pigmented gel polish, apply small white dots to the accent toes.
• Fashionable design using flock powder. It is simple and easy to make: you only need to highlight your toes with this decor.

• Decorate the big nails of each leg with a multi-colored foil, painting the rest in dark color. This design will look stylish, fashionable and impressive.
• A regular sticker can add a special luxury to the laconic design of a pedicure. To make the design elegant, walk on the label with silver lacquer.

• Using stemping, you can make a bright and special even the most common solid design.
• Applying a narrow metallic tape, you can disguise the joints of two contrasting shades, decorating the concise design in pink and lilac tones.

Whatever the design of a pedicure is chosen, it should please the girl. In addition, it is important to take into account that its decor does not cling to shoes or clothes, since the inconvenience will gradually develop discomfort. It is impossible not to take into account the design purpose. If you do not plan in the coming days to redo the design for a specific evening outfit, you should choose simple solutions. Luxurious and rich color coating with sparkling rhinestones is not always appropriate in a particular image.

Consider the type of shoe. If it is closed, it makes no sense to decorate the nails with voluminous elements, because from constant contact with the shoes they very quickly fall off the base. To correct this nuance imperceptibly among beginners will fail. Considering that a lot of time is spent on pedicure, it is better to think over the design in advance.

When choosing design options in multi-colored shades, consider their compatibility with the tones of the clothes available in the wardrobe. Bright and dark color does not always fit the light shades of summer clothes. If dark tones are important, support the bow with an accessory in a similar color. So a pedicure will be appropriate, and the image will seem more interesting.

You need to buy high-quality coatings, because their durability will depend on it. In addition, we must not forget: all pedicure layers must be thin, otherwise after a few days the coating may begin to lag behind the nail plates. It is impossible not to take into account the peculiarities of color: if you pick up a tint to the skin tone, it will not look beautiful on small fingers without decoration. The selected tone should be at least slightly different from the natural skin tone.
