Manicure in bright colors involves the choice of pastel shades. The most popular delicate shades on the nails today are:

• coffee;

A manicure with a gradient can be done in two ways: a sponge and a brush. Let us consider both options in more detail.

Initially, you need to prepare multi-colored varnishes of your favorite flowers and a sponge. The latter should be clean and dry. You can use the one that is designed for domestic use (washing dishes, wet cleaning and others). Before you start creating a manicure sponge is required to cut into small pieces. So that the lacquer does not paint over the surface of the skin around the nail, more precisely, the cuticle, before starting the process it is recommended to lubricate the skin in the growth zone of the nail with PVA glue or tape it with adhesive tape. When the manicure is finished, the adhesive tape and glue can be easily removed.

First, the nail is covered with a base and dried under a UV lamp. 2-3 drops of varnish are poured onto the foil and mixed with a toothpick to create a new color. We saturate the sponge with the obtained shade. To the nails were no bubbles, the first prints are recommended to be made directly on the foil.

Spring movements should apply a sponge to the surface of the nail. The more times you apply the sponge, the color will become richer. After reaching the required color, nails are covered with top and dried in a UV lamp.

There is another way to implement a gradient manicure with a sponge.

1. The base is applied on the nail plate and carefully dried under a UV lamp.
2. Apply two colors to the nail rather thickly and so that the boundaries of the coatings are in contact.
3. Using a sponge, lightly pressing on it, blot the nail. When the coating becomes more or less evenly distributed throughout the nail, the pressure on the sponge should be reduced. This will avoid the swelling of bubbles.
4. After the previous procedure, you need to wait a little, so that the varnish is evenly distributed over the entire nail plate. In the case of bubbles, they are pierced with a toothpick.
5. A similar method is applied to another layer. The number of layers depends on the quality of the materials used and the desired color solution.
6. At the end of the manicure, the nails are covered with a top and dried thoroughly under the lamp. If it was not possible to create a smooth transition between varnishes of different shades, this place can be decorated with glitter.

For another gradient option, you will need a brush with a rounded or straight end (you can use the tool with which the base is applied.

Two shades of lacquer are selected and applied on the nail in equal proportions with a thin layer so that they are easy to shade. Brush thoroughly moisten in a degreaser.Make a light cuticle from the cuticle to the edge of the nail. Keep the tool should be almost parallel to the nail. Following this rule, the brush will smooth the surface without damaging the original design. When the intersection of flowers becomes soft, the marigold can be dried.

All subsequent layers are applied in the same way (there may be two or three). As a topcoat you need to use top. Then dry the coating in the lamp. More original design can be created using a fan brush.

First, the base is applied to the nails. The lightest of the selected tones of lacquer should be applied to the nail. You can make one layer or a couple. Dry the coating under the lamp. On a piece of foil to mix a few tones of lacquer, to get a new shade. It will need to be applied to the nail at the transition point between varnishes of different colors. On the tip of the nail is applied the darkest tone of those presented. Moisturize the brush and make it move left and right, barely reaching the surface of the nail plate. Repeating the movement from side to side is necessary so many times until the desired effect is achieved.

To dry nails. Make another layer in exactly the same way. Dry again under the lamp.

Making nails in the technique of moon manicure allows you to show the maximum creative imagination. Make such a design under the force of any representative of the fair sex at home.

First you need to remove the previous paintwork from the nails. Gently using a file to give the nails the shape of an oval. To degrease the nail plate, apply the base. Dry nails under the lamp for no more than 45 seconds. Then apply a layer of decorative varnish. It is recommended to apply at least two layers, but before applying the next one, it should be thoroughly dried.

With a brush impregnated with a varnish of a different tone, it is necessary to paint over the hole in the growth zone of the nail. Dry well again under the lamp. A fixing agent is applied over the decorative coating and dried. After that, the nail plate is wiped with alcohol wipes to remove the sticky layer.

Moon manicure can be decorated with rhinestones. This will be especially true for festive events (for example, for a wedding or for the New Year). Of course, you should not overload the nails with additional elements, therefore it is enough to decorate one or two nails with stones. But if you want to shine, then rhinestones can be placed on each finger. The most successful area - the boundary of the hole in the growth zone of the nail. You can also decorate only one nail, then the manicure will look more restrained.

Gentle moon manicure can be decorated with voluminous patterns. Best of all, this design will look on long nails, and short it will visually reduce even more. If you want to add brightness to a gentle manicure, you can do it with lacquers of saturated colors in the form of small color spots.

Moon manicure in combination with sparkles looks very impressive. It is important to remember that this decor makes the nails visually smaller. Based on this, with an average length of nails it is recommended to make the hole small.

Moon manicure can be matte. This design fits very well into everyday life thanks to elegance and rigor. You can combine matte and glossy varnishes.For this, the main part of the nail is made matte and the hole is shiny.

French manicure as well as the moon, it can be done at home. To do this, it is important to follow some recommendations:

• the design of the tip of the marigold depends on the central axis of the nail plate;
• Smile edges must be pre-defined and marked;
• the width of the edge should not be wide, maximum - 1/3 from the surface of the nail;
• service jacket is done on prepared nails (after a hygienic manicure).

There are several ways to create a French manicure.

Stencil method has a number of advantages: evenness of a smile, simple technique of execution, small financial costs. The disadvantages of stencils include their material - paper. In case of dribble under the stencil (due to insufficiently strong pressing of the paper), the design will be damaged.

Stencils can be at one time and reusable. Their difference lies in the materials: paper and vinyl are used for the first, plastic and metal for the second.

For the embodiment of the French manicure at home used paper-vinyl stencils. The latter have the best degree of clamping. You can make stencil blanks with your own hands using electrical tape.

For french, you need:

• top;
• files with a different surface;
• stencils;
• orange stick;
• base;
• means for softening and removing the cuticle;
• varnishes of several shades.

First you need to file the nails so that they all become the same shape and length. Then remove the old decorative coating (if any). Lubricate the cuticle with a softening agent and push back with a stick. Wash hands, dry thoroughly. After applying the base, the edge of the nail needs to be sealed, then the lacquer will last much longer, and the decorative surface will be perfectly flat. Then the varnish is applied in a pale pink or almost colorless tone. Let your nails dry well.

Glue the stencils from the base with tweezers, transfer to the nails, retreating 2-3 millimeters from the edge, press firmly with a stick so that the bubbles do not swell, and the stencil does not come off. Most attention should be paid to the side bevels of the nails, where it is possible for the varnish to leak. The tip of the nail is covered with a white tone twice, then dried. The stencil is removed, the top is applied to the decorative coating. Then the nails are thoroughly dried.

Another way to create a French manicure is to use a brush. Instrument bristles can be made of nylon, sable fur or column. The best brushes are flat natural with zero thickness and bristles of medium length. Such a tool will make extremely sharp lines on the nails. You can replace the flat brush on the semicircular.

The cuticle must be removed, give the nails the desired shape, apply a base coat, and then decorative in pastel colors. In order for a smile to turn out even, the work with a brush must be conducted intermittently, instantly capturing the change in inclination. Every next stroke is a little overlap with the previous one. After completion of the painting work, colorless varnish is applied. This technique requires a lot of practice.

In order to make a gentle manicure with a pattern, you must perform the same steps as in the previous techniques: hygienic manicure, applying a base, drying, applying a decorative coating (the tone is selected based on individual preferences), and again drying under a UV lamp.

Apply a few drops of lacquer to a piece of foil, which is a few shades lighter than the main coating. Moisten a flat brush in a varnish and draw 6 strips with the same spacing. This decor refers to the thumb. Then move to the index finger and the same paint to draw 6 strips diagonally.

Entirely decorate the middle finger with dots.Place a little finger in a checkered pattern (first, 3 vertical stripes are drawn, and then 5 horizontal stripes). On the ring finger a rather wide smile is created at the edge of the nail, then from the cuticle to the smile 2 wide vertical stripes are drawn.

A few drops of another color are applied on the foil. They are drawn stripes on the ring finger and the edge of the nail. Eyes and eyes are drawn with a black lacquer on the ring finger. This is done closer to the edge of the nail. Then all the marigolds are covered with the finish. After completing the manicure, the nails are wiped with an alcohol solution. This is necessary to remove residual lacquer from the skin around the nails.
