Manicure in the style of "minimalism"

In everyday life, as in the holidays, I want to look stylish. Manicure in this regard plays an important role, as well as neglected hands immediately catch the eye. But all kinds of sparkles, three-dimensional drawings and complex patterns will not always be appropriate. In addition, their creation takes a lot of time. For such cases, there is a great design option - minimalism.

Minimalistic manicure is one of the main trends of this year. This version of nail art helps to give the appearance of sophistication and femininity. On the nails, it looks natural and neat.

Minimalistic nail art implies not only a uniform coating, but also a small pattern on one, several nails or on the whole hand. The main synonym for minimalism is restraint. But despite this, this manicure is perfect for both everyday and evening bow. It is universality that made this style popular.

Modern designers offer a wide variety of minimalist manicure options.which will look stylish, modest and at the same time expensive. But while shaping the nails, it is worth remembering that this style is very close to the classical one. Therefore, the design of the edge of the nail is also better to maintain in the traditional form: rounded or rectangular.

To create an actual image, it is important not only to have a sense of style, but also to know the fashion trends of the season. First of all it refers to the color palette. Classic colors are suitable for minimalism:

• the black;
• white;
• transparent;
• beige.

Pastel shades of dull colors are also recommended by nail art specialists. It can be blue, soft pink, lime, pearl tone. In addition, on the nails look great decorative accessories in the form of a small amount of sparkles or rhinestones.

Do not be afraid to combine several colors. Here the main rule is harmony. Nails should not look gay. Contrasting combinations are allowed, for example, black and white, as well as several similar shades, which correspond to the same color range and complement each other. For example, pastel yellow and beige.

All of the above color techniques are classic, but there are also radical solutions. So, the rich blue hues, complemented by beige, are perfectly combined with the minimalist style.

The leading direction in minimalism is geometry. When decorating the surface, lines, stripes or simply strokes made in random order are actively used. The most concise curls can look sophisticated and even bold.

When creating a geometric pattern is best to use contrasting colors. So the manicure will look more impressive and expressive.

Excellent results are obtained when combining points with stripes or asymmetric lines. For example, you can split your nail into two or more parts with even or curving veins, and in one of them you can create a composition of small drops of contrasting varnish. In the trend is also an image of geometric shapes: squares, circles, triangles.

At first glance, a neat and even application of lines seems difficult. But for its implementation there are secrets. For example, to draw a long flat line on the working surface, it is best to use a brush for drawings with long hairs (brush-liner).

When creating a manicure in the style of minimalism using a variety of drawings.

• flowers;
• twigs;
• gossamer

There are certain features of the application of the ornament, the main of which is its small size. So nails look inconspicuous and modern. Another option is possible when the required pattern is stretched over the entire surface, creating ornate weaving.

The classic and very stylish option for nail design is an ombre. It is in it that the use of bright tones is acceptable to create the base of the coating. Making a clearer and more spectacular image will help applying a dark shade on the tip of the nail, and the brightest - on its base.

For those who care about uniqueness in everything, including manicure, there is a certain technique. You can add a small drawing to the ombre. But you need to create it not from above, but between light layers. Thus, it will only peek through the coating. This version of nail art will be an interesting addition even to a business suit.

Another stylistic technique is a manicure with an accent. It is performed in a single tone on all the nails, except for one, the option is also possible through one nail. When using this technique, it is important to remember that the pattern on the nail can be anything, but the main thing is concise.

It can also be decorated with several rhinestones or beads. This will emphasize the accuracy and modesty of the image. The absence of weighty stucco and a large number of rhinestones will add a touch of tenderness and refinement.

Minimalism is a suitable style for using decorative wire. From it on the nail can be depicted absolutely any shape or even action. Abstract options are very popular. They can be placed on one or two fingers, and on the whole hand. This decor looks great on a matte surface. In addition, any image can be given a three-dimensional look. The overall image is quite restrained, but unusual and individual.

To create such a manicure, you must first apply the base on the working surface, then bend the wire in accordance with the design and shape of the nail. A transparent gel polish that can be applied at the base or in the side of the nail plate will help fix it. It is not necessary to fix all the faces of the wire, one side is enough.

When designing a design, it is also important to remember that minimalism does not mean that only one design can be used. They can be successfully combined. So, lunar manicure goes well with the emphasis on one finger. The main thing is not to get involved and do not overdo it.

One of the most interesting ideas for creating a manicure are small drawings with meaning. The desired highlight in the image will add a point image of one or more zodiac constellations. This manicure is performed using only two colors of dark and light shades.

A light shade is applied to the three middle fingers.Then the little finger and thumb are painted in a dark tone. And with the same dark color, a dotted image of any constellations that can be repeated or different can be put over the light base. Various color arrangements are possible.

A small sense picture, for example, an image of a light bulb, can also emphasize individuality. The base is applied in the same way, only on the middle finger draw the silhouette of a light bulb, and on the neighboring fingers they simply make several random strokes with dark varnish.

A good solution would be a small inscription on one nail with a contrasting varnish. Such a decor will inevitably emphasize the individuality of the owner, if performed with the help of a special marker in her own handwriting.

It should be noted that it is possible to individualize a manicure in a minimalist style using the ombre technique. To do this, it is necessary to change the shades not on each nail, but to alternate the tones of one or similar colors on the fingers. For example, a dark shade to cover the surface of the nail of the thumb, and a little lighter - the nail plate next.

Do not forget about the foil manicure, which is valid in minimalism. Make a shiny surface can be on one or more nails. The main thing is to take a discreet varnish, which is in harmony with the color of the foil. Using contrasting varnish will inevitably cause unacceptable variegation.

When making a manicure, do not forget about the banal combination of colors with the chosen clothing and style of the image. So, not every geometric pattern will suit a dress with lace.
