Beige manicure: fashion trends and design ideas

Manicure with beige varnish for stylish girls has become synonymous with elegance and practicality. Like the legendary beige Burberry trench coat and nude labutenes, it fits both an office suit and a cocktail dress.

Solid beige manicure is self-sufficient. At the same time, it can be the basis for interesting experiments: the fashion trends of the current season and modern design ideas will help to diversify the classic version.

From year to year, the Panton Color Institute recognizes beige as relevant to the beauty industry. He rarely becomes the leader, but the multi-faceted shades of beige have several positions in the tops of the trendiest colors of the season. This is due to the fact that the beige palette consists of 45 shades.

Embed trendy beige color in the image is easiest with a manicure. Most shades are basic. They are easy to combine with each other, with shades of other colors, decorative elements from different materials.

In the color scheme there are 9 beige color palettes. Each of them consists of 5 shades, from lighter to saturated. Palettes are divided into neutral, cold and warm shades. Given their temperature, you can choose the color of the lacquer, ideally suited to the tone of the jewelry and to the skin tone.

Shades of beige palette.

• Gray beige. The base of the palette is cold beige, and complements its warm gray.

• Neutral beige. Such varnishes are considered average in color temperature, and therefore are called neutral. Manicure goes well with basic colors and more complex options. Neutral beige manicure jewelery made of precious metals with light stones, diamonds, pearls, turquoise, corals will be emphasized.

• Lilac-beige. Gentle purple color gives the palette softness. It makes shade complex and intense. Lucky from a cold beige palette are suitable for lovers of silver and non-precious metal jewelry with stones. Different combinations are possible with both muted and contrasting colors.

• Brownish beige. If beige itself is a nude, with the addition of brown, it acquires a "dark" color. Often it is the brown-beige manicure that is characterized by the words “coffee color with milk”.

The color temperature palette is located between neutral and warm. This allows you to experiment with different materials when choosing jewelry. Brown-beige manicure can be beaten with the help of metals, stone, wooden jewelry.

• Pink beige. Soft, feminine color. Light pink shade in combination with beige forms delicate shades. Dark pink - shades with "darkness." Beige-pink lacquers give an interesting combination in a single palette and when combined with other colors.

• Green and beige. Difficult color with olive shade.It is so unlike the classic nude tint that many do not perceive these colors as related. It is easy to combine with other colors and decorations, but because of the specific color it is rarely used in manicure.

• Yellow beige. An order of magnitude warmer green-beige, but also not popular. Only the lightest shade is widespread - vanilla.

• Peach beige. Warm and romantic, but at the same time elegant shades. In the manicure of this palette is often used ivory.

• Orange and beige. The shades of this palette are similar to brown-beige, but warmer. Colors actual in manicure are almonds and caramel. Caramel can be light and rich. Both options are successfully combined with warm skin tones and jewelry.

In addition, the variations of beige are combined with each other, bright solutions are also suitable for them: pink, fuchsia, red, orange, yellow, warm and cold palette of green, blue, purple, brown.

The combination of beige and basic colors looks elegant. Win-win for everyday wear - beige french with white color. It is important to combine nude with silver, gold, sparkles.

The beige manicure with black color looks sophisticated in simple combinations: french, moon manicure, geometry, and in more complex ones: in “Veil” technique, stencil manicure using stamps.

Classic became nude jacket with a red hole. Variations on a theme with blue, green, violet varnish are possible.

A beautiful shade of lacquer and design is the final touch. In order for a manicure to remain a hand decoration longer, you need to wisely choose the shape of the nails and their processing.

The choice of shape is influenced by several factors: nail health, the natural shape of the nail plates and the shape of the cuticle, fashion trends in manicure, field of activity, personal preferences.

Manicurists allocate 5 forms of nails:

• oval;
• almond-shaped (almond);
• round;
• square (with clear and soft corners);
• pointed (stiletto and peak).

Choose your ideal shape in several ways.

Not every girl is the owner of elegant hands with long fingers. And there is nothing wrong with that. It is not necessary to chase the glossy ideal. Naturalness and natural beauty are in fashion now. It is important to choose the shape of nails that will look harmoniously with the length of the fingers and the width of the palm. Oval-shaped nails decorate neat hands. For monochrome performance, it is important to choose a short plate length (1-3 mm). Beige manicure itself visually lengthens the fingers.

The almond shape is very similar to the oval, but the edge of the nail plate is rounded less smoothly. It has an almost sharp tip, like an almond nut. Almond manicure is universal. The fuller the arms and the shorter the fingers, the shorter the nails need to be filed, otherwise there is a risk of getting the effect of a large male palm.

The round shape is suitable for owners of wide palms and short fingers. The length may be minimal when the nail plate does not protrude beyond the fingertip.

Square shape, like oval, emphasizes neat hands. If the palm is large and the fingers are short, the square tip of the nail will make the hands look more rough. Manicure will look short. Therefore, the girls with large hands wizard recommend to stay on a rounded shape.

A rounded square is a type of square shape. With such a manicure, the nail plate has an even cut and gently rounded corners. This option is universal. It is suitable and owners of thin hands, and those who fear that the square shape will make your fingers too massive.

Pointed shape suitable for brave girls. From the almond, it differs in that the nail plate is not narrowed gradually, but sharply. The nail looks triangular. The edge of the nail plate is sharp.

The cuticle is 4 forms: round, square, oval, close to triangular. Many manicurists cut the cuticle, so it is rarely repelled from its shape. And for girls who prefer to leave it intact, the shape of the cuticle can be a hint for choosing the shape of the nail. If the nail plate mirrors the shape of the cuticle, the manicure looks neat and harmonious.

Our body is asymmetrical. This also applies to the shape of the nails. Nail plates differ from each other in shape on the fingers of one hand and on different hands. Sometimes the difference is almost imperceptible, sometimes it is significant. The width of the need to focus on the narrowest nail, and the length - the shortest. The scope and health of the nails are also important. Oval shape and considerable length - for strong nails. Short oval nails - for fragile. The same rule works with a square shape.

With the help of almond shape, fragile nails can be protected from damage. Even with a large length they are difficult to break, because the edge of the plate gradually tapers.

Round shape is suitable for those who work a lot with their hands. With short nails it is easier to wash the dishes, massage, type on the keyboard and carry out any manual labor.

The shape of the soft square is suitable for medium length nails. They are moderately resistant to damage and do not interfere with working with your hands.

Technique of manicure - this is not the design, but its important component. The more thoroughly the preparation of nails for varnishing is carried out, the more carefully it will lay down and last longer. Three techniques are common among Russian masters: classic manicure, European and hardware. All equipment can be mastered at home. This will require patience, time and a small financial investment, but will forever eliminate the need to visit the nail salon.

Classic or edged manicure is familiar not only to women, but also to men. It is quite simple to do it: steam your hands, remove the cuticle, give the desired shape to the nail plate. Then you can apply varnish.

European manicure is fundamentally different from the coarse classic treatment. For its implementation no cutting objects are needed. The cuticle is treated with a special oil, which softens it and slows down growth, and then is pushed aside by an orange stick. The nail plate is not cut, and cut away.

Apparatus manicure is the most modern technique. It is fast, safe and efficient. To perform the need for special equipment with interchangeable nozzles for processing different areas on the fingers.

Sometimes by design technique means design. In this understanding, manicure techniques are significantly more than three. Most of them are universal. The coating can be made with enamel (opaque lacquer with color pigment), gel varnish, shellac.

Beige manicure with the effect of wet shine on the nails - a classic coating. It looks beautiful, stylish and expensive at the same time. An employee of an office with a strict dress code, a student, and a conservative bride can afford it. It is convenient for everyday wear in that it is easily combined with clothes of different colors and does not argue with bright decorations on your hands.

Nude shades are ideal for a monochromatic glossy performance. Maximum natural - powder, pearl, ivory, solid.They look like a “manicure without a manicure”, fashionable “bare nails”. In this case, well-groomed hands, and nails are protected from damage.

However, manicure in beige color does not have to be invisible. Among the 45 shades of this color there are quite saturated and deep colors. For example, caramel, dusty rose, almond, vanilla. In addition, the glossy coating is multicolored, with drawings and decor.

Matte beige is a great alternative to wet shine. This is an opportunity to try something new in the design of nails and choose brighter shades for everyday wear, because the matte design looks muted. With no glitter, even red, blue and black gamma seems calm. Their combination with beige is appropriate in any setting.

Beige manicure with a matte design makes the shape of the nails expressive. Manicure looks noble. It can be worn on short and long nails.

Another feature of matte coatings (especially for those who do manicures at home) is that they are easier to apply. The consistency of matte enamels and gels is thick and elastic. They cover the nail plate in an even dense layer, providing a professional result. This coating is convenient for complex-shaped nails.

Matte manicure - salvation for girls engaged in manual labor and household chores. It lasts longer glossy for 15-20% of the time. It is also convenient for traveling and business trips.

Beige matte manicure is an excellent base for decorating nail elements with glitter, voluminous, velor, lace, relief and smooth details.

Imitation of woven materials - a technique common among women of fashion. To achieve this effect in two ways: the original texture of the coating and a naturalistic pattern.

Textured "fabric" coating imitates noble materials - velor, velvet, cashmere knitting. The "fluffy" texture of the top layer in manicure makes it a highlight of the image, especially in the autumn-winter season.

The coating with a mirror effect contains reflective particles. It is impossible to see your own reflection in the nails, but the manicure acquires a characteristic shine and shimmer, like a mirror surface. Because of the brilliance of this manicure received a second name - Hollywood.

The first mirror lacquers had a pronounced metallic effect, and the line of colors was limited to silver and golden hues. Today, many professional brands produce mirror lacquers of beige shades, which help to create an original design for every day.

Beige manicure with glitter - small iridescent particles - wand for thin nails. Due to the light color and gloss they look strong and thickened.

The combination of textures is a compromise between total gloss and total dullness on the nails. The background can be a shiny base, and a matte pattern will add volume to a manicure. Also on satin nails look great solid shiny elements.

Patterns for applying drawings on the nails have simplified the life of masters and lovers of a beautiful manicure. Beige shades as a background - the most practical option. On it, any image can be clearly seen, but you can also choose neutral colors to create a discreet thing.

Manufacturers of beauty products produce a large number of stencils for manicure. The three most popular and easy to use are:

• for french manicure;
• for lunar manicure (reverse french);
• for manicure with “negative space”.

French know and love many. This is a fast technique that guarantees a predictably good result. It exists for decades, but in recent years, the popularity of beige manicure with a white "smile" on the edge of the nail is declining. French in the modern version assumes a color "smile".

Reverse jacket is a manicure with white or colored “holes” near the cuticle. "Hole" repeats its shape. The width of the color bar is usually no more than one millimeter, but other options are possible.

Manicure with “negative space” or “deep design” is one of the youngest techniques. It appeared quite recently, but it gained popularity with lightning speed.

Her secret is in the simplicity and originality of the drawing. A part of the nail plate is covered with color, while a part remains “bare”.

There are two types of stencils for “deep design” equipment. The first one is used when a small pattern needs to be left transparent on the painted nail plate. Masters call it negative or empty. The second is when a pattern of a contrasting color is applied to a transparent or very light base. It can be smooth and voluminous.

The manicure is multi-layered: base coat, stencilled pattern, second layer of gel polish, top. A small transparent image is between the layers.

Stamping is close to the screen manicure. For the application of the ornament on the nails are not used flat stencils and stickers, and stamps. These are metal or silicone tools on which the ornament is engraved. They are dipped in a drop of lacquer in a contrasting color and imprinted on the nail plate.

There are a variety of stamps: with stripes, colors, geometric prints. Suitable for use on nails of any length.

This is the simplest technique with a professional result. Nail stickers are made of thin but durable material. Overlapping them with a transparent gel polish, you can quickly get the most complex-looking pattern.

Beige color and stickers - a good combination. Manicure looks elegant, but not too catchy.

The gradient on the nails is performed in two techniques: one-color coating and with a stretch.

With a monochromatic coating, each next nail is varnished one tone darker than the previous one. Beige color is the best fit for this purpose. Each of the 9 colors contains 5 shades, differing in saturation.

The stretch gradient is also known as ombre. It involves the use of two or more contrasting colors on one nail plate. It is important to make a smooth transition from one color to another. Colors are applied from the brightest to the dark or in the reverse order.

You can start stretching from anywhere. It is horizontal, vertical, diagonal and from the center of the nail plate. Horizontal stretching can start from the cuticle and go to the tip of the nail, and can rise from the edge to the cuticle.

Creative technique of applying enamel on the nails with the help of water. The pattern on each nail is unique - beautiful stains of enamel of different shades of beige. You can add bright pigments.

Lucky spread on the surface of the water and mixed into an intricate abstraction. Then drawing is transferred to the nails with a simple touch.

Nail art is real art. This technique consists in painting with varnish on the nails of unique patterns without a stencil.Depending on the master's talent, any objects can be depicted on the nail plates: flowers, fruits, snowflakes, abstraction, geometric figures, animal prints, fabric texture, decorations. Seasonal paraphernalia is actual in nail-art: flowers - in summer, leaves - in autumn, New Year's theme - in winter.

Beige base - one of the best for applying a contrasting pattern.

Dressing is a separate branch of design. If for drawing on nails there are enough several types of varnish and improvised tools, then additional accessories are needed for the decor. In most cases, a manicure turns out to be voluminous and festive.

Rhinestones are miniature imitations of precious stones. They are made of glass, crystal, acrylic, plastic, zirconium. Special chic - Swarovski rhinestones from natural gems.

In manicure use rhinestones of the smallest sizes. They are transparent, hologram and color. The color of rhinestones correspond to precious stones, copies of which are.

Transparent rhinestones and diamonds, rubies, topazes and other elements of jewelry are combined with a beige manicure.

Rhinestones combine with a pattern, emphasize the line of the cuticle, spread out of them a three-dimensional ornament on a horizontal or vertical line. The horizontal location visually expands the nail plate, and the vertical - extends and narrows.

Brilliant element gives brightness calm beige manicure. Spangles are small and large fractions. Fine spangles are similar to pearl pollen, large ones have a clear shape: a circle, a hexagon, an asterisk, a heart, a triangle. Like varnishes, they are varied in colors. If you pick them up to match the coating, it will turn out brilliant and expressive. In contrast to the sparkles and varnish, you can create a bright design.

There are several ways to decorate manicure in beige tones with sparkles.

• Full coverage. Glitter applied to each nail, filling the entire surface. Can be glued onto the gel over the base or sealed in an intermediate layer.
• Local application. With this method, only a small part of the nail plate is made shiny. For example, a “smile” in French manicure, a hole near the cuticle, a small strip. Glitter can be applied ornament or highlight the picture.
• Ombre. For such a design, the sparkles are selected 1-2 shades lighter or darker than varnish. With their help, a gradient is created. For a pronounced effect, you can use the decor of different sizes.
• Combination. Here you can show imagination by combining sparkles of different shapes, colors and sizes.

Acrylic powder is a type of matte manicure, but with additional properties. Besides the fact that it gives a velvety-looking coating, this material strengthens the nails and helps disguise irregularities.

Beige acrylic powder - camouflage for unhealthy nails and interesting decor at the same time. Full coverage is not more difficult to work with gel polish, and stencils will help to apply the pattern.

These are not all ways to design nails. There are more bold (but less practical) options:

• "Liquid" stones;
• pearls;
• manicure (caviar) beads;
• feathers;
• seashells;
• bouillons - small transparent beads;
• inlaid with artificial stones.

Less than six months ago, the Korean beauty industry presented the girls with an original manicure that can be modified every day. This is a manicure with a button.

A miniature button for interchangeable decorative elements glued to the nail.It does not look massive and does not weigh the nail plate. Replaceable decorative elements are attached to it, which can be unfastened while working with hands, bathing in a bathroom, sleeping. Change the decoration on the nails can be in the mood at any time.

Beautiful long nails with a beige manicure are already a decoration by themselves, but there are so many fashion trends that it is a pity not to try one of the new products.

At the peak of popularity in the current season manicure in the technique of "broken glass". This effect of the wizard is achieved with the help of foil elements that create a characteristic shine on the nails.

Alternative option - “crumpled” manicure with foil and soft beige coating.

A good idea for beauty conservatives is beige acrylic powder and velvet sand.

Trendy on the natural meets the nude-pink manicure ombre, rolling in french.

Minimalism in nail design has not lost its relevance. Thin simple lines of black color ideally fall on the average length. Beautifully looks manicure with dots. You can embody minimalist ideas on a glossy and matte finish.

Another variant of minimalism is a manicure with a negative space for short nails.

For lovers of experiments, a gel-polish with a volumetric decor and a Korean “push-button” manicure with interchangeable clips will be suitable.
