Winter manicure: design options and fashion trends

With the arrival of winter, I want to complement my image with an unusual and special manicure. Modern women of fashion are constantly looking for fresh ideas that meet the latest trends in nail art. Trying to keep abreast of the stylish design, they often create a lot of chic designs. Considering the seasonal look at the design of nails, let's touch the beautiful and see what is now fashionable, we note the best design options for winter manicure, because winter will not take long to wait.

Winter manicure is notable for the fact that, along with the possibility of decorating fingers, it can successfully complete the female winter look. Recently, the winter design of nails has acquired several peculiar cliches in its design (for example, knitted decor). Despite the fact that manicure masters are trying to move away from the already classic designs, not all women are ready to abandon the unusual look and relief of this drawing. Therefore, stylists propose to do accents in the design, using a variety of nail materials that allow a woman to show her personality and stand out from the crowd.

This should be reflected in the choice of colors, ideas of decoration and selection of design for a particular image. For example, the same knitted print on the nails can be completely different if it can be done with a modeling gel or acrylic sand, or powder. Not only the pattern of the knitted fabric or its texture can differ, but also the color as well as the manner of the design. If in one case the whole area of ​​the nail plate is used for the decor, in the other - this is a small part, allowing the accent to be more expressive.

A few moments distinguish winter nail design from the rest of the seasonal techniques. For example, it may be the use of traditional prints and patterns. A variety of snowflakes, frost patterns, snow-covered nails speak rather eloquently about the appearance of the design for the winter look. And also brightly indicate the winter character of the manicure cold tones, selected shades of lacquer for decoration. No less expressive and sparkling decorative elements, symbolizing frozen frost drops on nails.

Selected today shades of lacquers in such a way as to demonstrate even the current month of the year. For example, for early winter it can be tones of the unclosed earth and the decor depicting a snow path. The best solutions in this case will be the following color combinations:

• blue and taupe;
• white, light gray and brown;
• beige, gray and white;
• swamp green, brown and light gray;
• gray, black and white.

For the middle of the winter period, the colors change, elegant festive ones appear, to which a great deal of decor is added that is appropriate in elegant images. For example, combinations such as:

• dark red with white and gold;
• rose gray with silver and white;
• Marsala with dark turquoise and white;
• white with red and emerald;

• nude with bright blue and white;
• turquoise with nude and silver;
• purple with gray and white;
• burgundy with white, gray-blue and black;
• red with black and blue.

When winter begins to recede, the colors of early spring are added to the usual light and calm tones.To the basic white color a shade of light mint, gentle turquoise can be added. Violet color can be replaced with cool lilac, gray-blue, gray-blue or warm-blue.

Today it is important that the nails look in design not only well-groomed, but also beautiful. The choice of decor in this case should be treated thoroughly, because what is allowed for the summer may be inappropriate for the winter season. For example, if you plan to decorate accents of manicure with drawings in the technique of artistic painting, it is important to take into account the capabilities of the master. The image on the nails should look beautiful and professional, because otherwise it will seem that the child painted on the nails. If there are no drawing skills, it is better to resort to stickers that can be used to draw out any design decoration, since it is easier to create something beautiful and stylish, and it will take a little time.

Of all the diversity can be distinguished decals that do not have the volume, but are highly accurate pattern. As for their subject matter, you can move away from the usual stereotypes in the form of bullfinches, snowmen, deer or other winter paraphernalia, and rely on the cold tones of the picture. For example, the following images will look beautiful in winter design:

• Dreamcatcher;
• watercolor wolf or fox;
• cat in the snow;
• winter landscape;

• branches with snow-covered clusters of mountain ash;
• knitted pattern in contrasting colors;
• snow-covered spruce branches;
• frozen glass.

In this case, ethnic patterns and geometric patterns will also look harmonious. However, in order for the decoration to look stylish and spectacular, you will have to combine different textures of used varnishes. For example, glossy laces on a matte background, an imitation of a snow pattern made with powder, look expensive and spectacular. At the same time, the second accent nail can be decorated with a beautiful sticker or hand-painted.

With regards to kawai or pretty drawings it is worth noting that these are images for a certain circle of girls. In addition to the fact that they significantly limit the selection of clothes, such designations oblige to a specific style and age. For example, a Teddy bear in a knitted hat on a woman’s forty-year-old nails will look ridiculous, like a snowman or a funny grandfather Frost. In this case, the best solution would be one volumetric snowflake, decorated with powder or glitter.

When working with a stamping process, it is important not to overdo the color. Of course, ideally for a winter design you should use silver or white. However, there are cases when you need to paint a pattern transferred from a metal plate to a roller.

It is worth noting several starting points on which you can rely in the choice of one or another design of winter manicure this season.

• The form. If natural plates are initially short, they should be slightly adjusted to at least medium length. So, the print on the accents will be more pronounced, and the manicure will look better. You can choose from three trends: almond-shaped, medium oval or sawn in the form of a trapezoid. For short nails it is better to choose dark tones of lacquer, longer ones should be done with light colors of the color palette.

• Varieties of material. To make the best winter manicure, you should choose a coating with a matte, glossy texture. In addition to them, well suited for design options with sparkles, gold, silver, temperature and chameleon varnish products. In the fashion and the traditional "cat's eye", as well as jelly varnishes. Mirror lacquers today are inferior options with a pearl effect.

• Type of manicure. You can choose absolutely any, today there are no special priorities. The number of the best, in addition to the classical method, includes a jacket, lunar manicure and gradient. In this case, you can move away from the usual stereotypes and not only slightly modify the design data, but also combine them with each other. You can make the main design a classic, and the accents to perform in the technique of a jacket or design with holes.

• Colors. Choose the tone you need, based on the characteristics of your wardrobe. It is impossible that the tone of the pigment coincides with the color of the clothes, because it simplifies the female image. However, related colors will be most welcome: any design will harmoniously complement your bow, without shouting about yourself. If you do not want related combinations, you should rely on the color of accessories. This may be a bag, scarf, jewelry.

• The decor. Whatever you choose, dose the decoration. The decor on all nails of the manicure will not look beautiful. This is not only old-fashioned, but it does not allow accents to be expressive. In addition, if the abundance is somehow understandable for the New Year's nail design, for everyday bows it will be too catchy.

Winter manicure can be performed in the following techniques:

• classic;
• service jacket;
• reverse french;
• gradient;
• design with holes;

• broken glass;
• veil;
• sand;
• newspaper;
• rub.

Each technique is unique in its own way and allows you to create truly masterpiece designs, if you perform them with the forethought of each nuance. For example, the classic is the basis of the foundations for almost all known techniques. Monochrome nails can be supplemented with a smile, forming a French jacket, a stroke around the cuticle area, getting an inverted French jacket. This is a great basis for accent nails for their decoration. French in the classic sense can also be one of the best methods of winter design. A semi-transparent base with a bright smile can today be thin, wide on full, straight, rounded, diagonal. Pictures on the jacket look especially tender, giving the winter manicure lightness and even some crystal.

The same can be said about the lunar method of performing manicure. However, if before the holes were predominantly rounded, today they are performed with imitation of the grown nail. In this case, the hole may resemble an elongated or classic triangle, or even completely like a crescent. Sometimes it is very small, has either a thin secondary arch or connects with an oval coating, for example, a small rhinestone. Gradient for winter manicure is a great way to demonstrate the snow-covered pattern on the nails. At the same time, the ombre effect today can be not only habitual from the cuticle up, but also stretching transversely between the side rollers. It becomes a good background for decoration, especially if it is made in the traditional blue-blue tones of the color palette.

A veil or capron design is one of the new season's trash. If only recently, the nylon technology implied drawings in tone of a translucent basis, today a single translucent background may be enough in design. And you can make the background black or dark blue with a veil, and on top of it arrange a vertical strip in the center of which to place the decor. Such a manicure will not go unnoticed; it will be not only stylish, but also trendy. The broken glass technique is the best way to demonstrate the fragments of frozen water. Make this design at the expense of manicure film.

Acrylic powder and rubbing today are the favorite materials for decorating accent nails.In this case, the powder is better to create patterns, rather than sprinkle it on the entire nail. Rubbing is unique in that with a different degree of rubbing, it gives a different effect. She can decorate elegant bows, using, for example, the subspecies "flakes" in the place of a French jacket smiling, thus creating the effect of rising bubbles of champagne. Flakes also look beautiful as an alternative to multicolored confetti.

That the manicure was not only beautiful, but also in line with fashion trends, It is worth noting several current techniques that are chosen by professionals in the field of nail industry.

• Performing a reverse french, on one of the nail plates can be distinguished zone of the cuticle. The line can be contour thin, it can be done symmetrically, asymmetrically, or even to the top edge. You can use this as a contrast gel varnish, and acrylic gel-paint, gold, silver, rhinestones, foil.

• When building nails it is better to use materials as close as possible to the natural tone of the nail plates. An excellent choice would be a modeling gel with a transparent texture, which will reveal the beauty of nails using the technique of negative space.

• If you want to stand out from the crowd, you can use rhinestones, but to the point, with respect for proportions and a combination of different textures of varnish materials. This will allow you to get a truly stylish design, avoiding vulgarity and irrelevance. For example, you can place one rhinestone at the base of the nail, made in a geometric style, as a link between the two contrasting colors used varnishes.

• To not look like forty, it is necessary to limit the abundance of brilliance. Pollen, which today is used instead of many shimmer varnishes, will allow to add special and status notes to the design. However, it is important to consider that mirror powders are not as popular as pearl dust. White snow pearl is rubbed today not only on the catwalk models, but also on celebrity.

• On the crest of the wave is and foil decor. With all its diversity for the winter are suitable options with the coldness of the metal. To look beautiful, it is better to use it in a chaotic or island way, covering small areas of the nail. No less popular today and foil in the form of scotch.

• Logomania has become one of the new trends. In order to successfully combine a manicure with the logos of brands with a female image, you should bet on the main background. In this case, nothing better suits the decor than finished stickers, some of which require further decoration with rhinestones or glitter. At the same time such design is especially in demand among fans of sports styles.

• Those who like Japanese decor kamifubuki, can decorate them accent nails manicure. However, today the choice of shades of multicolored confetti must be approached thoroughly, so that instead of a stylish nail design does not achieve the effect of an elegant Christmas tree. For example, kamifubuki on a matte vertical strip, bordered on both sides of the nail with a veil cover, will look super beautiful.

There are several types of design that should be considered. clearly demonstrate the relevance of a nail design in a particular style of clothing.
