Any girl on any holiday wants to look gorgeous. When we are invited to a celebration, for the most part we immediately begin to think about what to wear, what kind of hairstyle to do, what kind of makeup will fit the overall style. And if nobody called us to this extravaganza, and we ourselves created it? Or rather, it's own birthday. The image is ready, but finally one important detail remains - a manicure. What is the best nail decoration for such a celebration?
And where did the wondrous concept "manicure" come from?
The origins can be found in ancient Egypt, when the pharaohs "guardians of the hands" did preventive hygiene procedures. Further, up the history, we turn to ancient Greece, where the Greek women covered their nails with varnish. Later there was China, which gave the world the fashion of black and red nails. Well, after a long time, in 1925, the first nail polish goes on sale.
Now on sale you can find a palette of tens of thousands of shades, among which you can find the one that suits you.
Classic
With it you need to start. Classic is that with absolutely any image would be appropriate! A short playful dress and bright make-up, a long evening dress with high-tucked hair, a pantsuit and a stylish bag-bag - all this is perfectly combined with a classic manicure.
Classic manicure can also be divided into several subspecies:
- transparent;
- nude (from the English. nude - naked, natural).
In a transparent manicure everything is “transparent”. The nails are thoroughly treated, and later covered with a clear varnish or gel varnish - for someone that is more like.
It must be remembered that the coating of ordinary varnish with the correct application and, of course, with the right content can be as durable as the effect of gel varnish.
Nude shades are those closest to the color of our skin. Here it should be noted light tones of pink and beige colors. After applying on top of them, you can also cover with a thin layer of transparent varnish to impart an inimitable shine in the spotlight spot, in which you will certainly shine during your holiday!
Designer Manicure
Where fantasy is limitless, especially in our age of modern technology. On the nails draw works of art, cover them with sparkles, rhinestones, make piercing, put sugar (special, of course). Here, for sure, the choice of design depends on the image and the very direction of the holiday. Birthday is not always an ordinary gathering at the table. Now thematic parties are very popular, regardless of the orientation of the holiday or event. A birthday in the style of something is definitely a success. Manicure, as well as decoration, clothing or food, must be appropriate.
Cruise
Of course, we can immediately present a manicure in white-blue-blue tones. Sailor's strip, anchor, steering wheel, chain, ship - everything that can be attributed to the beautiful theme of the sea. But the sea is not only calm. Pirate flags, cannons, skulls, treasure chest. Or maybe a whole map will be drawn on your nails? Make up your mind and decide!
Chic party
The predominance of red and exquisite patterns, lined with diamonds (or almost). Long nails with the finest patterns of gold sparkles sparkling like stars on the carpet. Nails, which will be attached to these chains and beads.From your hands girlfriends just can not tear my eyes.
Gothic elite
Style, of course, for the most daring, as in the design of the party, and in the image you need to emphasize all the terribly beautiful advantages. Black nails, decorated with black rhinestones, very long sharp nails, blue-purple flowers, which are intertwined with daggers and swords. Or maybe your nails will be in the form of dragon scales or entwined with cobwebs? Scary fascinates.
Pajama boom
Overtaken by fear past manicure. Who was scared - now we fix the situation! For those who are still a child at heart. You say you don't need a manicure in a pajama party? Not here it was! Imagine, on your nails there are cute teddy bears sleeping on the clouds, or socks, caps and a cozy bed are painted on each nail. And the shades for such a manicure are only delicate: pink, yellow and blue.
Royal reception
Yes, and it happens. Such a party needs to think everything in and out. Of course, the empresses and queens did not paint on their nails, but who prevents us from dreaming up how it would look. We must not forget that one of the nails can be "crowned" by means of a crown, inlaid with rhinestones, sparkles, or just its contour drawn on the nail.
It is not forbidden to use bulky stones that look like emeralds, amber, sapphire, ruby or beryl. But remember the holy rule - do not overdo it with such wonderful stones. Good by little. And when there are a lot of good things, it already becomes a move.
As you can see, the number of parties, their direction, style and general appearance can be so different that the preparation for each of them is different. But do not forget about your unique style, as well as about your wonderful and graceful hands.
Nail extensions
All the previous examples meant for the most part only nail painting. Now for consideration - once the former build-up. I remember that even 7 years ago, when the buildup was at the peak of its popularity, girls politely used this fashionable trend. There just were no nails: sharp, oval, beveled, square and many others.
Now building up is not so popular, but some girls still resort to this method of decorating their hands. Nail extension is not a quick procedure, but, of course, everything depends on the master and the method of extension.
But if you have planned a trip to the master, then do not do it every day with your triumph, otherwise you risk being late for your own birthday.
Kinds
There are two main types of nail extensions: gel and acrylic. If on your birthday you decide to go to a bath, water park or any place that is somehow related to water, then it is better to build nails with acrylics - it is a chemical substance that only grows stronger during the socks, that is, in theory you can bring it without problems month and more. The only problem is the growing nail. But there is a correction.
For those who, having read about acrylic, got scared and imagined that the chemical on the nails for the main celebration of life is a terrible addition, relax: the material does not pose any danger to the nail or to your health.
The gel, of course, is also chemistry, but it does not have a persistent smell, like its "colleague." The gel itself is smoothed over the nail or form, which the master sticks to it, but dries only under a UV lamp.
The most popular drawing on extended nails is the good old classic jacket. And in Russian speaking, a white strip on the edge of the nail, just like its shape. Most often, the shape is either oval or square. That is, in such a manicure two concepts are combined: classic and building. Why not? The main thing - do not overdo it with the length, as too long french - a spectacle for the amateur.
General recommendations
All of us are always 18, and we know that. And, of course, this information does not apply to thematic parties.But, if the celebration takes place in a beautiful restaurant, the guests who came - in suits, and you - in a delightful evening dress, most likely, a manicure with ducks and cherries would not be very appropriate.
Or, if such a loud event takes place at home, the guests are sitting at the table, and every now and then you run from the kitchen to the room in a bathrobe and apron, and on the nails adorn super beautiful monograms with rhinestones, you will agree, they will appreciate the dishes you cooked more than the look .
Do not forget to take into account the fact where the holiday takes place. If you participate in a sports quest with friends, climb up the mountains or are in a place where your hands are the first assistant, you may want to get rid of the manicure as much as the risk of damaging it increases.
What to do after?
The holiday has passed. Everything was top notch. Manicure, created specifically for the theme of the holiday, remained. Of course, you can erase it if you are the author, or go to the master to remove gel polish or acrylic. But don't get excited! Beautiful hands in everyday life has not been canceled. If the image is funny or thematic - beat a bright accessory in clothing. If you choose the classic version - here and invent nothing.
And most importantly, remember: birthday is your holiday, and on this day only one person is inimitable - you. The image, manicure, clothes, ideas of the embodiment of fantasies - all this is definitely the right thing. But the most important thing is to be happy and loved.
