Geometry on the nails: options for stylish design and ways to create it

Fashion trends in recent years are changing with lightning speed. There are new ideas, improved materials and equipment, updated manicure technology. At the same time, the design in the style of geometry remains at the peak of popularity, except that the patterns and colors are complicated.

Consider, what is so attractive geometric manicure.

• Geometry on the nails compares favorably with a simple classic manicure unusual pattern.
• Laconic lines and clear figures - the exact opposite of monograms and complex elaborate patterns.
• In addition, the geometric pattern is universal, suitable for both business office style and for special occasions and friendly parties.
• Geometry can be successfully combined with any length of nails.
• Fashion trends are interesting, but simple for self-reproduction, which makes the geometry even more popular and in demand.
• Geometrical patterns are made with any colors, they can serve as a background base, and can play the role of an accent with a single-color manicure.
• Neat lines and clarity of the image will make the image stylish, and its owner will be recommended as the owner of good taste.

Among the most famous trends should be a few of the most popular.

• French with an accent. French manicure looks unexpectedly and gently with three white horizontal stripes arranged parallel to each other from the edge of the nail down. The top of the first corner is in the middle of the last strip, the sides almost reach the root zone; the second angle is located symmetrically just below the first, resting on the hole. The basis of nail art is a transparent base, so the effect is amazingly touching. Looks good on short nails.

• Triangular moon manicure. Originality lies in the unusual coloring of the hole of the nail plate. Instead of rounded shapes, depict clear isosceles triangles. If you use pastel colors as a background and make coal black in the basal geometry, you will get a manicure in the style of minimalism. Such nail art looks quite modest, but original. Stylists offer to diversify the pattern of rhinestones in the tops of the triangle.

• Longitudinal strip on one of the fingers. The element is performed using different materials: rhinestone, small beads, sand, nail tape of different shades, or simply painted with lacquer.

• Technique image origami. In this case, four colors are used for the base: black, gray, white and beige. A drawing is applied to the selected background with a thin brush. This is usually an image of an animal, as if it were folded from paper in a Japanese technique. Manicure fits well on short nails, looks neat and stylish. Masters advise to decorate with a similar pattern only one nail. If it seems that the manicure is boring, then you can add a simple geometric pattern for 1-2 nails.For those who do not have much experience in applying such drawings, it is proposed to use stickers or stencils.

• Another basic but popular technology is gradient in the form of rhombuses. A simple but non-standard approach to design is the use of ombre technology when applying varnish in diagonal directions. The gradient is formed by staining up diagonally. As the layers are applied one on top of the other indented, the color becomes darker with each step.

Black and white drawing in the style of botany became the actual novelty. Separate branches are drawn with the help of lines and are combined with greens on other nails. "Birch" nail art is especially popular and fresh.

Nude geometry is also in demand. In this case, pastel colors are used for the background, and the patterns are depicted in white, black, gray, gold, silver or brown. Such a manicure on short nails looks very well.

Another type of geometry - point. It has been used for a long time, but thanks to the appearance of new materials and tools it is constantly being updated and improved. Patterns become harder, brighter tones. The points are made not only with varnished varnishes, but also with textured decorative elements: sequins, acrylic powder of different textures, stickers.

Nail geometry is one of the directions of nail art.

Among the features of the process of creating a geometric manicure are the following.

• Difficult geometry is applied only on 1-2 nails, the rest should be left monotonous. Otherwise, nail art will be clumsy and tasteless.
• The process of applying the picture in different colors is gradual, therefore, rather long, since each subsequent layer must be applied to the already dried previous one.
• To obtain clear lines, it is better to use a coating of dense structure, otherwise the borders of the patterns will be blurred.
• It is extremely important to choose a varnish of the right consistency, it should not spread during application, but it should also not be used excessively thick.
• Geometry does not tolerate thick brushes. For elegant and precise lines, professional craftsmen recommend that you have only fine tools.

Scotch tape is one such tool. The technology of the process of reproducing a geometric pattern with its help will be considered on the simplest version of a manicure.

To get started, you will need a special thin adhesive tape, gel base, top coating and white lacquer, nail scissors, tweezers and a UV lamp.

At the first stage, as usual, you should prepare the nail plate: clean and give shape. It is better if the nail is short or medium length, rounded shape. Next, its surface should be polished.

1. At the second stage, the base coat is applied and thoroughly dried.
2. Then on the nail stick tape segments of the selected pattern, for example, a Christmas tree starting from the middle of the nail. The surface of the scotch tape should be properly ironed, expel all air bubbles, especially near the cuticle and on the side. If this is not done, then the varnish will flow under the tape, and the drawing will be smeared. It is better to leave the tails longer so that later it would be convenient to take them off.
3. The fourth stage is the staining of the nail plate with a white coating directly on top of the adhesive tape. After that, the tape is carefully removed, the manicure is dried in a UV lamp.
4. At the end of the process is applied top, again drying and degreasing. The result is an original and simple at the same time geometric pattern.

With the help of a decorative ribbon of different colors, you can create various variations.It is glued to the already finished manicure, on top of which a transparent top coat is applied.

For example, golden lines look exquisitely on nude background. Minimalistic black and white geometric patterns are a stylish option for the office. Gold and silver lines on a black background are elegant and versatile.

Stencils greatly simplify the life of masters, especially when creating a geometric pattern. They can be purchased at nail shops, or you can make them yourself with scotch tape or adhesive paper.

Consider the algorithm of this technology on the simplest version of a three-color manicure. This will require the following materials and tools:

• basic framework;
• finishing top;
• varnish of three shades;
• scissors;
• ordinary stationery tape with a small adhesive ability.

We give the stages of the work.

• Preparation of the nail plate. Cleaning and contouring.
• Application base.

• Coating nails first color, for example, rich pink. Then it should be thoroughly dried.
• After that, the reproduction of the “patchwork” pattern begins, for which, with a piece of scotch, that part is glued, which should not be susceptible to staining. For example, we form a beveled angle at the cuticle. The left area is filled with the second color, for example, black. By the way, that the adhesive tape was not too sticky, it should be pasted several times and glued to the back of the hand.

• It is necessary to wait for the complete drying of the second layer.
• Next, we glue the pieces of tape so that a side triangle is formed with the base equal to the side of the nail from the beginning of the black color to the projecting top of the nail plate. This triangle is painted with a third color, for example, pale pink mother-of-pearl. Again, you need to wait for complete drying.

• The technology of application is repeated on all subsequent nails. The arrangement of flowers can be changed.

• At the last stage, all the nails are covered with a transparent top. As a result, tricolor patches are obtained.

Another option for using stencils is to obtain a textured manicure. For example, when alternating areas with a matte and glossy finish. In monochrome performance similar nail art looks stylish.

Another version of geometric manicure using stencils, see the video below.

Dots - a special manicure tool, which is a metal rod with a ball at the end. The size of the tip can be different. This device is used to reproduce the bitmap.

For example, when creating a monochrome black manicure on a matte background, glossy round drops of various sizes, made by dots, look original. The design is simple and uncomplicated, but it looks spectacular.

And also now popular design in the "pea". It can be colored on a bright background or black on a colored base coat.

The algorithm of standard actions when working with dots is quite simple.

• Hygienic cleaning of the nail plate from agnails, cuticle and other defects.
• Correction of the form of nails.
• Polishing nail plates, their preparation for applying gel polish.
• Acid-free primer coating.
• The application of the base coat and its drying under the LED lamp for fixing.
• Coloring nails in the color of the selected background. Fixation under the lamp.

• Drawing is done with acrylics. Foil is more commonly used as a palette. Dots dip in the paint. Next, a spherical tip on the nail plate put points according to the scheme. The diameter of the points can be changed by alternating dots of different sizes.
• Upon completion of the drawing must be dried.
• Over the pattern is applied finish transparent top. It can be glossy or matte.

With the help of a brush, any drawings are created on a whim, none of them will be repeated. It allows the master to create using fantasy and imagination.

For geometry, you need a few thin brushes.

Professional masters with great experience can create geometry with the help of any available tools. In the course are toothpicks, paper clips, strips of ordinary paper. Of course, any girl at home can take advantage of this, but practice is needed.

Most often for a geometric manicure used shades of red, white and black, as well as pink, green and blue.

Of course, gentle, pastel colors are more suitable for summer-spring outfits, so it is during this time of year that they are most popular. In winter and autumn, women prefer darker, more saturated colors.

Stripes are appropriate for any style. As a rule, no more than three shades are used to apply the pattern. More common two-color and monochrome options.

The strips can be combined with other types of manicure, for example, with plant patterns or monograms. In sober colors it looks stylish and elegant.

It is very popular in the summer marine version: blue stripes on a white background. Sometimes red is added to them.

Business style perfectly combines striped manicure. Stripes make out everyone's favorite jacket. And you can use any matching colors: both contrast and nude. White chaotic lines on a black background are spectacular or, on the contrary, black on white. Also, clear parallel and perpendicular stripes slightly offset from the center to the side are popular. For example, gold on a beige or pink base.

Moon manicure refers to a special type of design. It can be made in any style, including geometric. A fresh solution is the design with negative space, when the colored areas alternate with the natural color of the nail plate.

In addition, the hole can be issued in the form of a geometric shape. Fashionistas often use combinations of red with black, white with black, gray with pink, gold or silver with black, pink with burgundy.

Technology is most relevant for special occasions. With it, you can create a futuristic design, unique in its own way. Triangular mirror "fragments" will add shine and will allocate the owner from the crowd with their magical tints.

The color scale is diverse. Any bright, deep shades will be appropriate here. For example, fuchsia, eggplant, purple, raspberry, dark green, celadon, aquamarine, cherry, chocolate.

Geometric design can be created not only with varnish, but also using other decorative elements.

1. Glitters will help to give geometric shapes volume and shine.
2. Sand. Velvety shapes and stripes on a matte or glossy surface are unique and effects, especially in monochrome.
3. Rhinestones. You can also draw shapes with stones, the main thing is to glue them according to the drawing. Most often, this design is used as an evening. Apply rhinestones need to carefully, having thought through all the details in advance. A large number of elements can overload the manicure, so at best patterns in the form of strips are allowed. Most often rhinestones decorate the corners of geometric shapes.

The basis of any manicure are beautiful, well-groomed nails. The correct classical form is the key to success, since almost all types of design are suitable for it.

The standard technique of geometric design gel varnish step by step involves several actions.

• At the first stage, the hands are prepared for the procedure:
  1. hygienic treatment of the skin of brushes;
  2. if necessary (no more than once a week), strengthening procedures are necessary, for example, warm baths with essential additives and other health-improving means;
  3. polishing nail platinum;
  4. degreasing the surface of the nails.

• In the second stage, the nails are covered with the base. It is necessary for their protection from varnish, and also helps to strengthen the structure, compact and prevent delamination. The coating is dried with a LED lamp for a minute. Some masters use for this purpose a UV lamp.

• In the third step, the background is applied, for which any color gel polish is suitable. If you need to deepen the color, then cover should be in several layers. At the end of the base is thoroughly dried.

• The fourth stage is creative. Here begin to draw patterns. For these purposes it is allowed to use any means. For more complex abstract compositions, it is better to use stencils of figures, narrow adhesive tape or thin brushes. Each newly applied layer must be dried well, so that the next does not spread along the previous one, the lines are clear, and the borders are neat.

• After all the nails are decorated, they put on a transparent top. It is necessary to do this, because the finish coating visually aligns the nail plates, making them the same, neat and gives a finished look.

The following is the technique of textured geometry on the nails.

The first two stages are appropriate for any design and do not depend on the type of manicure technique.

The third stage differs only in the fact that when using textured ornaments one should remember that the natural color of the nail can become the background. Then we get a design in the style of negative space.

Let us consider in more detail the steps of obtaining a geometric pattern.

1. The first step is to outline the boundaries of the picture. You can do this contour lines. They are applied with a thin brush. If there is no due experience, then the points are pre-plotted, which are then connected by small segments. But also as borders it is possible to apply a tape scotch tape.
2. After the borders of the figures are determined, they begin to lay out the drawing. Any decorative elements are glued with a special compound or gel-polish suitable in color, so this is a painstaking job.
3. It should be remembered that each subsequent layer is stacked after thoroughly drying the previous one. Otherwise there is a risk of contour lubrication.
4. And also you should not forget that a large number of elements looks bulky on the nail, so follow the sense of proportion.

In recent years, geometric nail art has gained great popularity.

The jacket and any of its derivatives are still in vogue. Simple shapes - lines, circles, triangles and squares - are universal in nature, so they fit well into any styles and images. It is thanks to this that modern designers like to use geometric manicure in their shows.

One of the trends is the style of negative space. For its application requires a certain courage, because it looks unusual and bold.From the outside, it seems that not all the nail is covered with varnish, some area remains as if “bare”, of natural color. This design looks on the nails of any length. The geometric pattern is applied to a transparent base with glitter or any colored lacquer.

When performing geometry on the nails, it is necessary to adhere to common sense and not to copy fashionable nail art from the catwalks. The fact is that not always podium options are relevant in everyday life. If the pattern is excessively overloaded with details, it will result in bad taste. In geometry, it is better to stick to moderation. For example, stylists offer options in the style of "domino" or "checkered". Very effectively, if it is not executed on all nails, but selectively on several.

The “winter” manicure in the form of separately traced snowflakes from segments or snowfall from points is overwhelmed with interest at a certain time of the year. Combines this style with any office or casual wear.

"Summer" nail art pleases the eye with rich colors and simple drawings. For example, drawing in watermelon flowers, in the style of a ladybug or sunlight is popular.

Ethnic drawings are becoming more popular. It is important that they have something in common with the general image, that is, they match the outfit and even the hairstyle.

Abstraction is considered one of the most difficult techniques. To play it, certain experience and a “firm hand” are needed.

Very impressive and unusual looks manicure in the style of mosaic. It can be made in different colors, textures or using broken glass technique.

Uniquely and effectively looks manicure with origami. In Japanese, simply and concisely, it means stylish.

Even the novice master can master the dot design made with the help of dots. And if you improve skills, you can achieve excellence in this style.

The simplest geometry does not mean the poorest. Absolute style, elegance and chic can be traced in manicure, made only by straight lines.
