In the new season, the nail industry gives fashionistas a lot of fresh ideas. Among the wide variety of colors, the emerald color manicure will be especially popular. What you need to know that such a design on the nails was not only beautiful, but also the corresponding fashion, consider in detail below.
Fashion trends
This season, changeable fashion is more than ever favorable to the beautiful half of humanity. In addition to the variety of techniques for emerald color lacquer, we are invited to independently determine the ideal form of nails for themselves. More recently, short nails with a length as close as possible to the natural were considered the best form. Today, in addition to short nails, elongated oval and almond-shaped are popular. The cut can be completely straight or rounded on the sides.
In addition to form, fashion trends believe that:
- it is time to get rid of false nails, although at the same time building is important;
- you need to strive for lightness and minimalism, which should be reflected in the number of used decor in the design;
- It is necessary to reduce the number of accents to manicure looked impressively;
- you need to choose for the design of the coating with a different texture, thereby shading one another;
- It is important to pre-design the design, taking into account the case, wardrobe details and accessories (there is no competition between design and image);
- accents must match the seasonality of design.
As for the focus of manicure for seasonality, then this is today one of the key fashion trends. It is important to show belonging to a particular season, which can be expressed at least in the temperature of the shade of the lacquer coating used. The decoration technique, which can demonstrate, for example, the snowiness of texture, does not even show just the time of year, but a specific month or holiday (designed in the style of "March cat", decoration for Valentine's Day), copes with this perfectly.
Principles of design may be different. However, whatever design was chosen, emerald color should dominate. Otherwise it will seem that it is not the basis of the design, but its complement.
In general, almost all known varieties of modern coatings can be used for manicure, including matte, glossy, jelly, shimmer, chameleon, magnetic, mirror, temperature.
A color scheme
Emerald color is considered one of the noble shades of the color palette. It is necessary to add companions to it in order not to change the status and not simplify the emotional perception of the color, and of the whole manicure as a whole. To facilitate the task of the layman, you can use the best combinations for emerald color. For example, it looks harmoniously with:
- silver;
- black
- white;
- gold;
- milk;
- light beige cool;
- turquoise;
- mint;
- bronze;
- green.
Combining this color with red, blue, orange is unacceptable, as well as combining it with yellow, rusty, gray is also not worth it. The color itself is quite saturated, it needs to be softened, and sharp contrasts cannot do it, and they look, along with the emerald base, ridiculously and tastelessly.
Decor secrets
Emerald color belongs to the dark tones of the color palette. It draws well and visually ennobles the nails, which is especially important for short nail plates.However, this color obliges to certain restrictions in the design, so as not to lose the nobility and status.
All bright, than usually decorate light nails, on a dark basis will stand out very well. Therefore, before sticking a pattern of rhinestones, it is worth considering how relevant this is in this case.
As for the elements of decorating manicure, they are suitable for emerald color, but with the reservation of the need for dosage.
- rhinestones;
- kamifubuki;
- stemping;
- hand painted;
- powder;
- stickers;
- broths;
- modeling gel.
If we take into account the tendency of fashionable tendencies to minimalism and accentuation of the texture of the initial background of a manicure, then It is worth paying attention to a few nuances.
- Rhinestones should be the tiniest, and the place for them must be chosen thoroughly. It can depict dew drops, glare in the eyes, mask the joint between two contrasting varnishes on one nail. Excellent, they look instead of dandelion umbrellas, like the bow of the moon manicure.
- Kamifubuki are unique in that they can replace rhinestones with a flat shape. Selecting them in a relative emerald color or gold and silver, you can make a special status in the design. However, for this you need to dispense kamifubuki, arrange them, for example, as the middle of a flower, imitation of a plant bud.
- Stemping is a worthy alternative to drawing. In a matter of seconds, it allows you to create a professional image on the nail. On a contrasting emerald basis, this design will look stylish regardless of the selected pattern. Stamping is convenient, and often such patterns can be decorated with rhinestones.
- Manual drawing is not limited in subject and techniques of the pattern. However, given the dark emerald background, you need to strive for light prints. It will look great on these nails drawing in one color, for example, white or silver.
- Powder and bouillon allow you to vary the design. To give the manicure a unique character, it is enough to sprinkle the nail completely with the powder or microbender. If you want more elegant solutions, you can create patterns using a transparent gel or top.
- Stickers can be designated as another alternative to drawings. With an appropriately selected pattern, they add elegance and high status to the design. However, due to the dark main background, there should not be many sliders. The best themes include geometry, ethnic motifs and lace.
- The gel is used to build and fix the sparkling pattern. It holds great volume elements on the nail plate, and in addition, can be used as a way to change the design. For example, it can be raindrops, which on a matte background will look stylish and incredibly impressive.
Today, it is possible to distinguish modern manicure from the design of last season by just one look. It is distinguished not only by flawless preparation of nails without skin injury. According to the new nuances of design, modern design:
- accentuates the cuticle area, highlighting it with a thin strip of silver or gold, foil or a rhinestone arch;
- performed in the technique of negative space in which part of the nail is not painted at all;
- relies on the nobility and high cost of texture, and therefore resorts to textile matte gel varnishes;
- built on a game of contrasts matte and glossy textures;
- has no more than two accents on each hand;
- adorned with stylish, sparkling decor with a dotted layout;
- performed with a geometric design.
Variety of techniques
Emerald manicure can be done using different design techniques. Each of them will allow you to create a spectacular design that will attract the enthusiastic views of others. The techniques are unique in that they can be supplemented and combined. So, against the background of shimmering tones, you can perform a design with holes or a contour stroke of the nail plate.
The combination of matt varnish with voile accents decorated with glitter or small rhinestones also looks beautiful. This may be a design:
- classical (monophonic nails);
- matte (matting varnish using a special top);
- French (single base + smile above);
- flipped french (monochromatic background and cuticle area stroke);
- lunar (design with a round hole at the base of the nail);
- gradient (stretching shades from dark to light);
- broken glass (with pieces of film glued to a monotone base);
- voile (with an acrylic pattern on a translucent background);
- Powdered (using acrylic powder).
Each technique is unique in its own way. For example, a matte design in emerald color looks stylish and without further decoration. French with a smooth stretch allows you to reveal all the versatility of emerald color. The design with the bottom edge of the nail in gold or silver gives a high status to the design. This option is considered to be trendy, especially if it involves coating with the effect of frosted textiles.

The veil technique is one of the gentlest, with a dark emerald lacquer and black contrast, it turns out to be especially feminine.
