A color scheme
Black and blue colors as the main shades of nail design are almost a classic version of manicure. This combination is one of the most popular choices in beauty salons, as well as an excellent and fairly simple way to design nails at home.
According to reviews of professionals specializing in the selection and arrangement of colors, the blue-black combination is correct, from an artistic point of view.
On nails, this design will look very contrasting and bright., accordingly, will attract a large amount of attention from others. Therefore, this design is not suitable for everyone. For example, with caution when choosing a manicure should be approached to office workers and professionals in management positions in government agencies, whose appearance should not be too defiant.
However, if there are no restrictions on the appearance of your work, then boldly experiment and apply these shades on your nails.
Design Techniques
To make your blue-black manicure truly stylish and modern, use simple tips and methods of applying nail polish.
The first method of application is a gradient. The gradient from Latin is translated as “growing” or “growing” - this is exactly what the result should be. The essence of nail design in this way is that one color should smoothly change into another. So, for the base, you should use blue lacquer that is not too dark, and the final color of the gradient should be black. It turns out that the blue color, gradually darkening, turns into black. The gradient on the nails can be applied in several ways: horizontal, vertical or at an angle.
The second option - a variation of the French manicure. Instead of using white and clear lacquer as basecoats, try blue and black shades. They can be interchanged and experimented, but your French manicure will definitely not be classic or boring.
Another interesting way to design - the application of the picture. In this embodiment, the base can be a black coating on which a small image can be painted with blue varnish. This may be an undefined abstraction or a specific character.
Add additional colors - another way to diversify a manicure. So, white or red color can become an excellent additional shade. You can try different forms and methods of their application: point, linear, wave and others.
To add brightness and shine to your nails, you can use additional stylistic elements - beads, beads, rhinestones and so on. They can be arranged in several ways.
So, it will be interesting to create a so-called frame, that is, the location of rhinestones along the contour of your nail. But you can also use one massive bead, which will be located in the center of the nail and will become the main focus of the composition.
For those who are not afraid of the difficulty in applying lacquer, nail service experts are advised to try the game of textures.Besides the fact that the manicure can be used glossy and matte coatings, you can also purchase a special tool that will create a velvety film on the nails.
For those who love marine themes, there is a design option manicure and in this style. So, the base should be a blue-and-white manicure, and the final touch should be an anchor drawn on top of such a base. Especially suitable for summer time and sea holidays.
Useful information
It is important to note that a blue-black manicure, being a universal way to decorate nails, should be applied in the cold season (autumn and winter). In summer and spring, you should stick with a lighter color range, or dilute black and blue with other light colors.
One of the most important criteria for the success of applying a manicure is the quality of the varnish itself, so you should not save on coating. If you buy a cheap and low-quality product, then applying varnish will be quite time-consuming and lengthy process, the sock is short, and when removing nail polish on the nails I will still have dark traces of black and blue colors.
And also should take into account the fact that before applying a new manicure, you should carefully prepare your nails. So, first of all it is necessary to remove the previous lacquer, and also, if necessary, to make a trimmed manicure. It would not be superfluous to hold spa treatments for hands - lubricate them with cream and treat the cuticle.
Despite the fact that traditionally it is believed that dark shades of lacquer can only be used on long nails, this is not quite the correct statement. A well-made blue-black manicure to decorate even short nails, as well as make them more well-groomed and stylish.
