Ideas for classic nail design

Despite the fact that the nail industry reaches a higher level with each season, presenting the most unusual nail design novelties, calm and elegant nail design in the style of the classics does not lose its position in the beauty market.

The design of the marigold in the classical style can be described as elegant and refined. Its main advantage is to look beautiful, but discreetly and concisely. That is why the design of nails in the classical style does not accept the use of a large number of decor: rhinestones, artificial pebbles, stucco moldings, intricate patterns, sequins and other elements.

Nail art specialists have identified five main variations of the classic nail design, which today are the most popular.

• Design gel polish in nude tones. This coating will give your nails a healthy, well-groomed appearance, while retaining their naturalness. The most popular shades are:

1. gray-pink;
2. Ivory;
3. beige.

• Saturated colors of shellac. The coating is applied in 2 layers, while choosing dark tones, which will give the nails relief shapes and maximum expressiveness. It is in itself interesting, so there is no need to use additional elements of decor. Best of all, dark lacquer will look on short nails.
• French manicure. Such nail design is always in fashion. It can be made with a traditional white stripe or using multi-colored varnish.

• Moon manicure today at the peak of popularity. For a classic design, it is recommended to leave the nail hole not painted over, but you can cover it with a clear varnish. The rest of the nail plate is covered with a gel polish calm hue.
• Application with low-key pattern. It is easy to make such a manicure even at home. For this purpose, an appliqué is applied on a monochromatic gel varnish coat. It is better to do this in such a way that there are delicate floral motifs or non-load abstraction in the form of geometric shapes.

In order to make classic nail design more fashionable and festive, nail art masters use different techniques.

• Gradient. Matt coating in the ombre technique will make the nails presentable, but restrained.
• Velvet coating. This unusual design is created by a combination of matte and glossy gel polish of one tone. The main part of the nail plate is covered with matte varnish, and the edge of the nail - a thin glossy strip.

• Black gold Despite the rather bright combination, with the correct distribution of shades, the manicure will look very aristocratic and restrained. For example, the entire nail can be covered with black shellac, and in the center to hold a narrow gold line. Only a ring finger can be decorated with gold lacquer - it is enough to apply parallel gold strips (horizontal or diagonal) to the black coating and decorate them with small pebbles.
• Picture. For a classic manicure, as a rule, the pattern is applied only to unnamed fingers. This should be a non-load geometry.

• Glitter. At the height of fashion, the decoration with shiny moon elements. Sparkles can be silver or golden hue. They are applied over the main tone.It is very important to observe the density of the application of glitter - through it should show through the main coating.
• Shimmer. This is a very fine shining powder. It can be evenly distributed throughout the nail plate. Soft shine will give nails a “zest”, but will not look too defiant.

Classic manicure has a few more names: “wet” or edged. It is recommended to perform it every 2 weeks.

First, nails must be filed to obtain the desired shape (it is selected based on the length of the fingers and their thickness). If the fingers are long and thin, it is better to choose a rectangular shape, for the rest - oval. It is recommended to use nippers for trimming.

If you use nail files, then you should pay attention to the material of their base. It may be rubber or cardboard, but by no means metal. You can file only dry nails, otherwise the nail plate will exfoliate. Nail file movements are performed symmetrically, from both sides to the center. During filing it is important not to touch the skin around the nail, so as not to infect the infection.

After the nails have been given the desired shape, it is necessary to move the skin in the growth zone of the nail orange stick. Then you should dip both hands in a soap solution (sea salt can be used as an alternative). This action will allow the skin to relax and soften the cuticle, making it easier to cut.

In order not to miss the overgrown areas of the cuticle, while cutting it, the hands are periodically washed with water or wiped with wet wipes. All burrs bite off with the help of special tweezers, previously disinfected. The hand working with tweezers must be in a perpendicular position. Burr can not pull, otherwise there will be a wound and inflammation. After removing the burrs, these places are recommended to be treated with hydrogen peroxide.

Glitter nails give polisher. Four numbered work surfaces allow you to choose the best option for each case. Once the hygienic manicure is done, you can proceed to the design of nail design. First, a base is applied, the function of which is to protect the nail plate from toxins and make the decorative coating more saturated. A few minutes is enough to dry the base. Then the main tone is applied.

To mix the varnish in the tube, you need to shake it. On the brush should not be a lot of money. First, the center of the nail stains, and then the entire surface. The number of varnish layers is determined on the basis of individual preferences and properties of the coating itself. To dry the finished manicure, decorated nails should be dipped in cold water.

To clean the skin around the nails from the specks of caught varnish, it is enough to walk on them with cotton wool and acetone. Almond-shaped nails are well suited bright coating with a matte texture. If the nail plate has defects (for example, irregularities), it is not recommended to use pearlescent varnishes for dyeing, since all the flaws on them will be very noticeable.

• Monotonous design of nails in nude shade is an ideal solution for a manicure for every day, and is also perfect for office workers.

• Restrained and elegant look french with a black tip, light geometry, golden glitter and rhinestones on the index and ring finger. This nail design can be combined with an evening dress, and with the style of casual.

• Lunar manicure in brown-cherry color with a transparent moon can be varied with rhinestones, forming an elongated figure on the ring fingers, and the effect of "broken glass" on the index fingers. In addition, on the latter, between the main coating and the transparent moon, a narrow “smile” of black is drawn.

• Manicure looks very elegant in white and gold tones using the technique of negative space. This design is appropriate to use for wedding manicure.

• Design in blue and yellow colors with lace moon decoration and rhinestones will suit middle-aged women. This design looks very respectable and elegant.

• Violet-black manicure with a shimmer looks unusual. Thanks to the application of the latter, something resembling a starry sky or outer space is recreated on the nails.

• Simple and elegant looks french with a metallic effect and pale pink base.

• Blue-purple nail design with metal sequins - a reflection of the pace of life and style of the big city.
