Pastel colors are primarily pale pink, sky blue, purple, creamy, light gray, cream, sand, peach or white. Among the many shades of these colors, you can create the perfect combination for a gentle and reverent manicure.

Despite the fact that the design in pastel colors looks beautiful and elegant on the nails of any length, today the priority is calm manicure on nails of moderate length ranging from 3 to 5 mm.

The shape of the plates in accordance with modern fashion trends is better to choose neat almond-shaped or oval. Also, soft rounded square (“squoval”) is still popular, giving femininity to ladies' hands and at the same time elegance.

As decorative details, you can use different elements.

The advantage of rhinestones is that they can be used on short nails. They are perfectly combined with a delicate and nude range of colors. However, it is worth remembering that it is important not to overdo it with their number of rhinestones: two or three will be quite enough.Brilliant pebbles can be used as silvery and other shades, picking up the tone to the clothes. Such a manicure is suitable for everyday life, and for not too strict office dress code.

The process of nail design using sculpting can be compared with a reduced work of the sculptor. Compositions with such a variation of the decor are voluminous and elegant. The elements for creating a volumetric figure are modeling acrylic powder and liquid monomer, which, when mixed, give a plastic polymer mass. It also serves as that material for performance of a decor of nails. It can be both flowers and all kinds of bows, figurines, curls, leaves, patterns, symbols, shells, ladybugs, butterflies, etc.

The so-called 3D modeling provides pre-coating with acrylics or gel polish.that provides a more accurate effect and prolongs the life of the manicure. For such decor, the nail plate is often oval, almond-shaped or sharp to a medium or long length. However, the modeling can be applied to short nails, but the patterns should be as miniature as possible.

Another example of the outstanding design of the nail plate - small bead beads. This method involves the use of specially made material, called bouillon. It can be purchased at any cosmetics store. The decoration procedure is more than easy: a varnish of a pre-selected shade is applied to the nail, and then beads are immediately sprinkled on. It is important to have time for drying varnish. Such a special and creative design will perfectly complement the integrity of the bow and emphasize the festive image.

For the formation of a specific ornament, it is necessary to use a tool that allows you to point out a pattern. You can use a toothpick, a needle or tweezers as it.

Rubbing sequins is another fashionable novelty of this year. For decoration use fine particles of shiny chrome-plated pigment. The mirror effect is achieved by rubbing with a sponge-like pigment applicator onto the nail plate previously covered with the base of the selected shade. Such nail art is also not difficult.

The color of the resulting shade of manicure depends on the color of the mirror powder itself., and from the coloring of the base coverage. Among the most popular shades rub-in - gold, silver, pink, pearl. It is worth noting that to complement the wedding bow of the bride often choose exactly the pearl shade. It gives tenderness, lightness, romance, femininity and at the same time originality.

Behind such an exotic word is actually the simplest, but at the same time amazing nail design. Kamifubuki, which in Japanese means “paper storm”, is a brilliant confetti or sequin. For gentle manicure use blue, pink, white colors of an exclusive product.

To apply this decor nail plate must first be prepared. The base is applied to gel polish and polymerized. It is necessary to cover with the gel varnish of the desired shade in several layers. Polymerization of the extreme layer of gel polish is not required, since it will accommodate kamifubuki. The material should be applied before the varnish dries, using a special tool - dotsoma. After the spangles are placed in the right places, it is necessary to polymerize the last layer in the lamp once again, apply the top and repeat the procedure. Such a manicure looks spectacular, sophisticated and especially gentle.

Among the design techniques of nail decor, velvet sand is especially popular. It is a unique medium-ground powder, which, when interacting with a liquid, becomes denser, and does not soften, like small sparkles.Due to its texture, such material lasts a long time.

The powder itself is translucent, and the manicure shade depends on the selected nail polish base. Velvet sand is satin and matte, so that the effect on the nail surface is obtained or suede, or sugar.

Powder gives manicure refinement and luxury.

Popular trend in the world of nail design. Looks great in the context of a gentle nail art color spectrum.

For this decor, a bright foil film is used, which, after coating the varnish layer, gives a soft glow effect. This combination allows you to expand the entire range of manicure.

As a supplement to the gentle technique of “broken glass”, you can draw lines or glue foil strips. Manicurists recommend using this effect not for all nails, but for one or two.

Contrary to the general allegations that floristic designs can overload a delicate manicure, this decor is used everywhere. And for good reason. Flowers, petals, all kinds of twigs, peas and stripes are the perfect complement to the gentle image. A careful selection of unusual designs and patterns will emphasize the depth and uniqueness of nature.

Nevertheless, it is necessary to remember that in this design variant there is a danger of overloading the integrity of the image.

Ideally enough decor on one or two fingers.

Geometric design allows you to complement the image of neatness and elegance. With him, unlike the previous version of the decor, it is difficult to overdo it and do something extra. Due to its severity, at the same time combined with beauty, this option will be ideal for business women.
