Beautiful examples
Many women often face a problem in choosing the style of a manicure, since the overall image largely depends on it. Today, there is a chic selection of design ideas, with which you can adequately decorate marigolds. Especially popular this season is just a manicure using a blue palette, which can be issued using different colors and decorative elements.
- With gold and silver. For this design, it is desirable to choose a light background, and the decor to carry out rich shades. Silver and gold foil patterns look interesting: they are laid out on top of a blue base. In addition, the decor can be made in the form of the moon and "smiles", emphasizing their light gloss. Graphic foil patterns will also be a vivid performance. If girls like sparkles, then it is recommended to replace the foil with gold or silver sparkles, laying them out on the free edge of the nail.
- Matte texture. It is considered a real trend this season and is in great demand not only in manicure, but also in make-up. Matte finish looks both elegant and durable. It requires perfect nails. Such a design is created both with the help of a special varnish-gel, which after drying loses the effect of gloss, and with the use of velvet spraying in the form of fine sand.Since the matte finish is devoid of color overflow and shine, it is suitable only for well-groomed and healthy marigolds: the slightest defects and irregularities on the nail plate can be noticeable and will spoil the entire effect of manicure.
- The combination of blue with blue, yellow, white and pink flowers. Such combinations have brightness and tenderness. Choosing blue and yellow color for manicure, you can get an unusual and expressive image. To emphasize the romance of the young beauty, the heavenly hue is recommended to mix with pink. In this design, you can paint both all the nails, dividing the palette in the middle with a vertical strip, or through one.
- With an image. The application of original images on a blue background is considered a true work of art, which requires the master to have certain skills. Most often, simple small patterns are chosen for such a design, more detailed and complex pictures can also be drawn. The blue background in this case is used both matte and glossy. In order not to overload the manicure with painting, it is necessary to decorate one or two nails, and leave the rest to be “clean”.
