With the onset of autumn, many people are worried about seasonal depression, as well as a decrease in the protective properties of the body and, as a result, colds. To protect the immune system, it is necessary to more often eat citrus, rich in vitamins. And in order to have a great mood at any time of the year, we suggest making an original manicure with juicy and bright lemons.
Features
The surprising fact is that the “citrus” manicure was invented a long time ago, and more specifically, then not earlier than in the second millennium BC in ancient Egypt. Yellow nail design perfectly fit the color of this ancient state. The yellow color of the nails of the Pharaohs was associated with the sun god Ra, whom they worshiped.
However, everything is repeated in the world. Lawmakers of the mod after many thousands of years decided to diversify the manicure, and offered a new pattern on the nail plate of the girls in the form of ripe lemon slices, and also depicted a whole fruit on the nails.
It is not necessary to have artistic talent to use sunny fruits as nail design. It is necessary to have a good taste, a courageous fantasy, and also patience in order to practice repeatedly, to draw sour, but very beautiful yellow fruits.
There are many options and styles for the image of lemons on the nails. But without exception, the masters of the nail service adhere to the basic rule: lemon on the nails should be depicted in yellow and light green (if we are talking about lime) color. And so, perhaps, it all depends on the wishes of the client in the beauty salon and on the imagination and technical capabilities of the master, who decided to bring the lemons on the nails to life.
You can portray citrus by any means. Very beautiful on the nails look like individual slices, and the whole fruit. The range of compositions is wide: from the image of lemon slices on the nail holes to decorating the tips of the plate. Lemons look much more spectacular on one or two nails.
Lemons are originally combined with kiwi, watermelons, as well as with other fruits and berries. At the same time, you can add freshness and juiciness to fruits with the help of “dew” from acrylic. You can complement the creation of a variety of sparkles and rhinestones. I would like to note that the manicure with “sourness” is very harmoniously combined with almost any outfits, and it is great for every occasion.
Lime design
A lime manicure is a truly intriguing and trendy version of the image of citrus on the nail plate. The same popularity won the nail design as a bright background, and in the form of a jacket.
Psychologists have proven that green color has a very positive effect on the human psyche, so a manicure with a picture of lime is the way of peace that is necessary for women living in huge metropolitan areas.

Sunny shades will help to cope with bad mood and well-being, when outside the window is a cold and rainy autumn. We present the manicure colors ideally combined with yellow lemons:
- blue;
- turquoise;
- green;
- red,

- the black;
- white;

This list is not exhaustive, because the background for nail design in the form of lemons can be either in warm, cold or neutral shades. Therefore, this manicure can be called truly universal.
Consider the shape of the nails
Presented on display lemon manicure looks advantageous on both short and long nails due to the mass of merit. Let's try the following nail design options for owners of different nail lengths.
So, if the fair sex has short nails, then it is necessary to try to eliminate a huge amount of details that would look ridiculous on such a small space for creativity. It is best to draw miniature lemon on one or two nails, which will give the fashionable woman a feminine and tender look.
Background for manicure with citrus on short nails is best to choose a transparent or lemon. Many, without understanding the objectivity and correctness of the decision made by the master in choosing the basis of the manicure of just such colors, will consider them boring, but in vain, since such a manicure will visually enlarge the nail plate.
We list the following design options for short nails:
- jacket with lemon slices on the nail holes or on their tips;
- arrangement of slices or whole fruits with a branch and leaves on a transparent background;
- design of one or several nails depicting a slice of lemon with juice droplets on a transparent background.
Beautiful ladies with long nails still have a number of advantages compared with owners of short nails. They are ready to portray whole works of art on the theme "Clusters of lemons in the garden." That is why on the elongated nails you can embody the most daring ideas on the lemon theme, and not limit yourself in anything.
On long nails, a French jacket with fragments of various colors and geometric shapes will look perfect, as well as other fruits and berries perfectly fit into the manicure. Such a design will certainly add joyful and sunny notes at any time of the year.
Amazingly on long nails looks french with a thick stripe on the tips in lilac, light green or creamy strawberry color. In combination with yellow, you can achieve a gentle contrast, and the pictures of lemons fit very harmoniously into such a design.
Step-by-step instruction
To make a lemon nail manicure at home, you must have patience, time, necessary manicure tools, as well as prepare a visual drawing with the fruits of lemons or a photo.
Let's stop at the stages of creating nail design at home.
- It is necessary to scrupulously prepare the nail plate to the gel-gel coat. To do this, get rid of the cuticle, give the desired shape to the nails, as well as remove greasy shine from them.
- Apply a base coat of varnish of the desired color.
- With the help of yellow varnish to paint over the nail hole.
- Draw a narrow white strip on the edge of the hole.
- For a clearer contour, add a yellow or orange tone to the white color.
- The next stage is the drawing of the vein of lemon segments.
- The final action is the coating of the manicure with a transparent fixing varnish and drying in a special lamp.
And in order not to bother drawing a fruit, we suggest using ready-made stickers with the desired fruit for design.
Interesting trends
Strange as it may seem, but a combination of yellow and muted beige color looks very impressive, with which no other bright shades compare. One of these variants of manicure with "sour fruit" is the style of ombr. Recently, the beautiful half of humanity has been actively experimenting with incompatible tones. For example, an interesting transition from the vigorous lemon-colored to creamy-pink color is quite popular.
Lovers of French manicure really like a jacket in combination with yellow. It can be both a background color and an additional one. There is another unusual option - the yellow line at the base of the nail plate along the cuticle.
In modern nail salons, beauties are offered to make a manicure in the “color-blocking” style. In this design of nails are connected, but at the same time several shades of varnish do not intertwine and do not connect. Sunny nail polish in the proposed manicure is acceptable to combine with both bright contrasting colors, and with shades from the same color range.
