Variety of options for manicure design gel polish

Modern man is used to living, taking advantage of the achievements of science and technology. The same can be said about manicure: at a rapid pace of life, a woman needs a covering that is perfect and durable. Therefore, we choose modern types of nail products and every season we expect fresh ideas on nail design from fashion. Let's look at the variety of manicure design options with gel polish and analyze fashion trends from A to Z.

Fashion is like a raging sea, in which one wave is replaced by another. What was fashionable yesterday is presented today as a sign of bad taste. However, be that as it may, in the first place femininity should remain, as fashion claims in the first place. Whatever design is chosen, it should be based on three pillars: expressiveness, proper selection of accents and purpose.

The best position for the accents were the marigolds of the ring finger. If the design on one hand should have more than one accent, it is preferable to choose the middle finger's fingernail next to the ringless one. In this case, the drawing should not be too voluminous and occupying the entire area of ​​two nail plates. Such an approach to design can add weight to the design, which is completely unacceptable for a modern manicure.

As for the choice of accents, the fashion suggests starting from seasonality and manicure purpose. For example, decorations for different seasons may differ in shades of a color palette, their temperature and degree of saturation. As for the appointment, it is necessary to build on the characteristics of work and lifestyle in general. For example, for a business woman's set, it is necessary to withstand a rigorous and discreet design, celebrities choose more non-standard solutions.

If this is, for example, an option for a runway show, it is simple, because models need a design that fits different clothes. Registration may not be amenable to a logical explanation. For example, neither the bubble trend, nor the nails with hair and fur are distinguished by convenience, although such a design certainly has its own army of fans. And yet fashion tries to appeal to tenderness and femininity, although this concept is different for each woman, judging by the variety of manicure designs.

At the heart of all the trends today laid minimalism, whatever it may be. And the print, and decor, and the idea must adhere to a certain simplicity, due to which, as the great Giorgio Armani said, the design will claim to be elegant and status. That is why volumetric inlays, powerful stucco and piercing should be left behind the line of last season and forget about them. Now it is important to show the beauty of hands, their grooming, which is the basis of the foundations for any status design. At the same time, no one cancels the creative approach to the design of manicure. But everything should be in moderation.

To date, there are several methods of performing manicure, each of which can decorate the hands of a woman, regardless of her position in society and age. All of them have their own distinctive differences, which determine the manner of performing a manicure.

Classic monochrome design Marigold is a great way to design nails for a different style of woman. Based on the texture of the gel polish used, such a manicure can complement the office and business style.

French manicure Popular since its inception. For 40 years now, he has been on the crest of a fashionable wave, overgrown with fresh design ideas. For example, today his smile is not only arcuate: it can be in the form of triangles superimposed on each other, resemble a heart, and can be performed in a diagonal pattern. Fashionable smile in the form of contour stroke, angle, wave, lightning. Fantastic smiles are super-relevant (for example, laces, various animals, fruits, flowers, feathers).

Mirror jacket differs from the classic French manicure in that its smile is not located on top of the place where the nail grows, but below, at its base (in the place of the cuticle). Otherwise, it is similar to the basic design: its arch exactly repeats the growing nail in shape. By the way, this trend is very popular today: the contour stroke from the base to the top almost allows you to add elegance not only to the nail bed, but also to the fingers.

Externally moon design differs from the traditional and mirror french in that its hole is not a repetition of the edge. In the usual version, on the contrary, it is opposed to it in the form of a semicircular figure. Today, it is fashionable to perform a lunar design with a secondary shackle, using the technique of negative space. Also, the layering effect is fashionable, in which the effect of a growing nail plate is created, and on top of it a drawing of the hole extends from the base of the nail bed.

Gradient - a design that still many seasons will not go out of fashion. If earlier it was only vertical and horizontal, the new season offers women two fresh solutions. For example, stretching can be performed on a single accent nail plate in the form of a geometric figure. At the same time, it can be both smooth and sharp: both design options are popular. You can also perform an ombre effect with a stretch on several nails, based on the classic manicure and painting each nail in a relative tone of the same color.

Veil - the design technique, which today has already managed to change, which pleases its many fans. Its basis is a translucent background, often for a more expressive effect, it has a thin contour stroke of the entire nail plate. If earlier on it to create the effect of nylon pantyhose used pictures in the color of the base, today the translucent background is used for further decoration. For example, vertical stripes with a gradient are performed on it and sprinkled with acrylic powder to achieve a special effect.

"Broken glass" - this technique today has already been overgrown with an army of fans. It is based on the use of a special nail film, which is cut into small pieces, and then glued to accent nails. The effect and brightness of the design will depend on the color of the gel polish: on light coatings, the glass looks softer, it makes dark shades especially elegant, which changes the purpose of the manicure.

Aquarium. Despite the fact that for this technique a modeling gel is used to a greater extent, gel varnish also participates in the work.And because the technique can be included in the number of basic methods of working with gel polish. In this case, it is used more for decoration, because the foundation itself is created by transparent modeling means, which is used to seal the created design. Depending on the design thought they perform a background or hand-painted. These nails look very impressive, but in most cases this technique is suitable for extended and long nails.

The basis of the powder method manicure laid shedding undried gel polish special acrylic powder. In fact, this is the same combined manicure, because the basis for the design can be a gradient, french or classic. However, a simple design of acrylic sand nails is now considered to be rustic, and therefore this material is now more often used to impart a volume to a pattern applied by gel polish. Whether it is the texture of a knitted fabric or a felt snowflake, this manicure looks incredibly impressive.

Water design used for decorating accent nails of the combined manicure. The technique is quite interesting and needs preliminary creation of a pattern in a glass with cold water. It is in the glass and create the desired pattern, dripping alternately contrast gel polishes in the center of the previous drops. Upon reaching the desired number of drops, they take a toothpick and create a certain pattern with it, combining the contrasting shades of gel polish. After the finger with the applied protection is dipped into the water, thereby transferring the coating to the nail plate.

Spreading gel polishes appeared on fashionable Olympus quite recently, but today they have already been tested by professionals in the field of nail art and have a high rating from studio masters. This design is based on the classics. On a monophonic basis put strips with a brush, which immediately begin to spread. When mixing colors it is possible to get an elegant play of tones. Design varnishes with the effect of spreading create very quickly: it takes from a few seconds to a couple of minutes with painting.

As for the design itself or the design of accents, its theme will adhere to the purpose of manicure and seasonality. The second aspect is especially important, because design affiliation to one or another season is today considered one of the leading trends in the nail fashion. If we consider the drawings created by hand, then the most popular options today are lace and monograms. They allow you to point out the elegance and sophistication of the female set.

Ideas of drawings and patterns can be very diverse. For example, the options with fruit or inscriptions look very nice. Noteworthy is the theme of space, which can be created using different shades of gel polish, using different paints of dark varnishes. Trendy logomania: accent nail logos are able to pull out even the most boring manicure design.

Mehendi and ethnic ornaments are a fashionable pattern. However, if beauty bloggers have not yet come to the conclusion that such prints do not need coloring for high status, then professional masters prefer plain-colored ornaments that look impressive on any contrasting basis. Abstract patterns in the form of varnishes look beautiful. As for the drawings in the Indian theme, this theme can be used in the design, regardless of its belonging to a particular season. Since the theme of seasonality is very important for a modern manicure, the drawings on accent nails should correspond to a particular season, and sometimes even a month.

For summer design, the basis can be a floral theme. Ideal for accents look small flowers, made in monochrome color. In addition, the popular drawings of all kinds of insects. Various butterflies, ladybugs, dragonflies, ants can indicate a binding of a manicure to a summer set better than another pattern. Prints such as juicy fruits, dream catchers, fluffy dandelions, dill umbrellas and lilies, irises are very popular. The actual subject of the sea coast, all kinds of shells, divorces, flamingos.

If you closely follow the work of professionals in the field of nail art, then you can find in their work a lot of fresh ideas. More recently, the priority was the autumn leaves, which could decorate the accents of autumn manicure.

With the arrival of winter, the gel polish tones become calmer, the drawings should reflect the falling asleep of nature. Of course, it can be a variety of snowflakes, frosty patterns that mimic frozen windows. Prints can beat the broken glass technique, imitating frozen from the cold puddles. You can draw frozen leaves. One of the most popular today patterns is knitted fabric. For Christmas, prints with deer and Scandinavian patterns, as well as painting of snow-covered fir branches are perfect.

The awakening of nature can be marked by different patterns on the accent nails of the spring manicure. These are melting icicles, and the first birds hovering against the sky. In March, you can decorate the design with early flowers. Snowdrops on the background of melting land will look very nice and appropriate for this season.

Manicure accents decoration is a topic that requires special attention. For design today use different materials, and their range is quite wide. We note several of the most popular techniques used by professionals in the field of nail art.

The painting. This type of decor is only for professionals, because it requires accuracy and imagination. Having experience and artistic skills, you can draw various patterns on accent nails, spraying them with glitter, decorating them with bouillons (microbiesters), rhinestones. Used for painting acrylic gel paints or gel polish, which is mixed with the top for a more liquid consistency. For volumetric design, drawings are created by modeling means. Cover with watercolor design is considered the most expensive today.

Stamping Stamping with the transfer of the pattern can significantly reduce the time to perform a clear and accurate pattern. For this, we need plates with an engraved pattern, gel polish, scraper and roller, by means of which we transfer the print from the plate to the nail. The technique is quite convenient, although it requires exacting accuracy. Patterns can be painted, silvered, covered with gold on top.

Rubs. This polyester pollen for a long time will be a popular element of the decor. In a matter of seconds, it can change the texture of even the most ordinary gel polish. Of all its varieties, mermaid and pearl dust are more popular today. Also interesting is the type of "May beetle", which creates an original effect of the texture of the coating with overflows under the shell of an insect. Moden and powder with gradient effect. The mirror is irrelevant today.

Kamifubuki. Multicolored confetti today is more often used to decorate the nail. They create a traditional or reverse service jacket, they are used to highlight the cuticle.This flat decor often replaces rhinestones, when you do not want to overload the design volume. The shape of the mosaic is varied: from circles and asterisks to geometric shapes and hearts.

Slider design. Today, sliders are used not only by newbies, but also by professionals, although in their case this is more likely to save time on hand painting due to late clients. However, it was the professionals who invented the method of masking the slider by hand painting.

Powder. It is difficult not to get lost in the richest assortment of acrylic powders for manicure. It differs in the fraction of particles, the presence or absence of nacre, can create not only an unusual background, but also a three-dimensional pattern. For example, this powder can be the basis for creating knitted patterns under the texture of a sweater. It can be sprinkled with a pattern applied with gel paint, with sand one can add volume to snowflakes, curls, monograms.

Rhinestones and stones. The tendency to decorate accents of manicure with various stones and sparkling decor has changed somewhat today. Now it is important not to overdo it with the amount of brilliance, because the bigger it is, the cheaper the design becomes. And yet inlaid with opals and Swarovski crystals will be appropriate for modern design. However, the placement of rhinestones should be a point, this is how they will look in the design organically.

Transfer foil. This material is relatively fresh, it is a foil tape with a pattern applied on it. The material is transferred by means of a special glue for white foil, which becomes transparent when dried. The decor is convenient and easy to use, has a lot of thematic patterns, and therefore it is possible to choose an option even for the most demanding in the preferences of a woman.

Stickers. This décor is more often used by professional craftsmen, it is easy to use and needs a dry position for reliable fixation. As a rule, such pictures have a small volume, and therefore, after fixing, they have to be covered with several layers of finishing means.

Stencils. The line includes stencils for creating patterns and patterns for french, which can be used to design smiles and holes. In addition, these same strips are suitable for working with a geometric design. Like disposable stencils with patterns, they also need to be glued to the nail. Stencils are easy to use, they are glued with a sticky layer to the floor, a contrasting coating is applied on top of them, then the templates are immediately removed.

Dots. It is a tool with a special nozzle-ball. The size of the ball may vary, which is convenient when performing a bitmap. Dots can create a smile of an ordinary or an inverted jacket, with its help they draw hearts, draw soft lines. The drawings of the peas are an alternative to kamifubuki, they look beautiful and fresh.

As for the colors, the varnish used can be both bright and calm. The focus is on mint, cherry, emerald and turquoise. In addition, this season, fashion offers to turn to rich and dark colors: marsal, wine, eggplant shades are now favorites of fashion trends. All tones of green are relevant; it is fashionable to paint nails with shades of pistachio and juicy mint-green tones.

This season, fashion is favorable to the gold and silver tones, and therefore designs with gold or silver are among the most trendy in the women's set. For example, such paints can be added to black, white, emerald tones, as well as Marsala, peach and eggplant.

You can not discount the tones of pink. These are necessarily pale pink, pinkish-lilac, crimson-pink shades and fuchsia. At the same time, the megapopular contrast of pink is gray or silver. The hit trend was the combination of pink and blue. From the warm colors of the palette are relevant bright orange, peach, cream, dark red, rich yellow tones. The texture of the varnish can be both matte and glossy, pearl, jelly, temperature, chameleon, magnetic.

Design design is different, fashion clearly indicates the relevance of a particular design in a particular case. And therefore it is worth getting acquainted with the nuances on which it is important to rely in order to choose the right option.

A beautiful manicure is a design that does not look defiant and aggressive, but, on the contrary, breathes a feminine principle and status. In order not to lower it, you should immediately remove sharp nails from the list of priorities. Of course, they can look organically in a bow representative of the youth subculture of the protest plan. However, this is an option at times, and large nails do not look like a decoration of the image, but intimidating.

Given that in the fashion of three different types of nails (rounded square, oval and almond-shaped), to choose the best option for themselves will not be difficult. For the shape of the oval there is no prohibition in the design, it is considered universal. The same can be said today about rounded square nails: any technique, any decor and print is subject to them. As for the almond-shaped plates, if that complicates them, it is the choice of the width and shape of a smile.

The length of the nail today is important, because it is from this need to build on when choosing a particular design. In order not to get confused and not complicate the design, you need to adhere to the rule: the smaller the length, the simpler the design. It is important to take into account that even the color of varnish looks different at different lengths.

Light shades are best used for manicure long nails, dark colors of lacquer will look better on short plates. If you paint short marigolds with light or, say, mother-of-pearl varnish, it will visually shorten them, and even make them flat. In order not to suffer with the choice of varnish color and complexity of design, fashion suggests turning to the golden mean, taking the length of the regrown edge of 5-7 mm as the ideal.

As for the techniques, then you should not do a moon manicure for short nails, the reverse or a classic jacket. Not enough space for them to stretch the gradient. However, if the nail bed is elongated from nature, and the length of the regrown edge is short, these techniques will not fall into the number of unwanted ones. Long nails more difficult to determine the technique, because attention in this case will be riveting not so much the design as the length of the plates.

That is why it is better to dwell on the classic, French, moon manicure or ombre, than to try to stick it all at once into a combined manicure. Even the usual monophonic coating here will look more elegant than the colorful and voluminous design.

In order for the set to fit into the framework of the dress code or casual attire, one should proceed from two rules: restraint and conciseness. However, this does not mean that one should deny oneself the choice of a beautiful varnish. Not at all: it can and should be special. You can even use one color, but a different texture. A matte velvety manicure without a design, but with an accent made by rubbing can become super-beautiful.

For example, you can make the main background in the form of a jacket with a matte varnish and satin texture, and make a smile with a gloss. As an option, the accent of such design can be lace, glossy applied to the accent nail.

Coverage for everyday manicure should go to the details of the wardrobe or even accessories. So the nails will always look appropriate in the set. However, no complicated drawings are needed. It is better to perform only two accents than to cover all the fingers with the decor. Layers of drawings are also not needed here, as well as decorative elements competing with each other (for example, camoufubs are not always combined with rhinestones).

Festive or elegant design is different from everyday. This is reflected in the use of specific topics. For example, for a wedding today it is customary to use different lace, decorating with such a pattern the accent nails of the hands. Given that in the image of the bride necessarily present decorations, the decor is selected with an emphasis on them. Everything should look complete and harmonious.

Suitable for elegant design for a wedding lacquer with glitter, good acrylic powder, will look good and rub. Especially gently on the white coating looks pearl dust, which changes its effect depending on the time rubbing the decorative material. The colors of such a manicure can be whitened, mint, caramel, pinkish. Beautiful monograms created on accents of white acrylic powder will look beautiful in such a manicure.

Birthday options may vary in brightness and creativity. On this day, you can afford anything, but with regard to age and dress. To eliminate even a hint of boredom, the color of the lacquer should not be exactly the same as the shade of the dress. However, if he is related, it will decorate the female set. On this day, you can perform any experiments with gold or silver, rubbed or acrylic powder.

As for the drawings, here each lady will choose her own version. The only thing that is undesirable is skulls, skeletons, zombies and sliders with veiled pornographic overtones. Such a design is terrible, it spoils the whole impression of its owner. With regards to the form, there may be moderately creative options. But at the same time, nothing should cling to any objects, so as not to tear the nails along with the design.

For a family holiday, calmer solutions are good. The decoration can be made in delicate pastel shades, complemented by a discreet decor. The publication can decorate a classic design with a varnish that has a velvety texture. It is in the evening images that there is a place for rhinestones and other inlays, but if there are a lot of them, you can pass for the simple thing, greedy for everything brilliant.

During the holidays, you can afford the most daring nail design options. This can manifest itself in the choice of saturated varnish, and in the thematic figure. For example, going to the sea, you can enjoy yourself prints in the spirit of the sea coast. Even one shell painted or glued can change the perception of the design and raise the mood. What can we say about the design with sequins, which you can decorate even the usual classics.

Megopopulyarnom option design stained glass design. You can use it for accents, because the coating of this type can give the effect of a depth basis. You can mix stained glass gel polish with glitter; it can even make a gradient unique. In this case, the tool is quite economical, because the stained glass material is applied with a very thin layer.

If a woman has a holiday in winter, you can give free rein to your imagination and draw New Year's toys on your nails. This is a great opportunity to raise your spirits and feel the atmosphere of the upcoming holiday. In addition, you can use flock powder, which is better than other neyl materials can convey the texture of Christmas socks and felt toys. She can also identify spruce branches on the accent nails of the manicure.

In the fall you can pamper yourself with a fruit and berry design. For example, you can decorate accents painted juicy berries. You can move away from the usual patterns and add volume to individual elements. For example, it is the berries that can become bulky due to the transparent modeling gel or top mixed with gel paint.

Also good for holidays and space themes. In this case, you can perform it as a slider design, and water equipment. Someone, in order to impart a volume effect, also uses a magnetic-type coating. Fans of marshmallow manicure can please themselves with the design with ice cream, kittens, candy, as well as teddy bears. There is a place for glitter and bright stickers.
