If you still have a long wait before the holiday, and the soul is already asking for the sea and the sun, or there is beautiful weather outside the window, and somehow you want to match it, you should definitely pay your attention to a manicure with tropical palm trees. Such an image can be done even by beginners, but it looks extremely impressive.
Fashion trends
Palm manicure is considered one of the most popular options for summer coverage. It is suitable for both short and long nails, regardless of their shape. The image of palm trees on the nails is successfully complemented by other design elements, for example, glitter and allows you to "play" with the background. As a result, it is possible to obtain both a minimalist and complex multi-piece work of art. Most often, trees are depicted on a plain background, the color of which depends on their own desires. Pink, purple and violet coatings look best.
No less popular is the two-color manicure. Usually, in this case, palm trees are applied only on a pair of fingers, along with a background that is different from the other plates. It is possible to depict both a tree as a whole and individual leaves, complementing the overall picture with silhouettes of dolphins and gulls. Often palm trees stand out against the backdrop of a sunset, sea, or other image of nature. Creating such a manicure becomes more difficult, because you have to use several colors, successfully combine them and complete the picture with such miniature elements as gulls and the sun.
A good addition to palm technology is glitter. A very unusual idea would be the combination of a French and a tree image. In this case, it is allowed to dye in different colors of the hole, add glitter and shiny pebbles and modify the image of the palm tree. It is necessary to use them in moderation: shade the tips or nail holes, or create an accent. The background of the picture will turn out beautifully with the help of an ombre.
If you make it in blue tones, it will create a feeling of a bright sunny day, and in pink shades - a romantic sunset.
Creating a palm manicure begins with the preparation of nails. The plate is shaped, the cuticle is removed by an orange stick, the surface is degreased and covered with a base. Upon request, white lacquer is immediately applied - it will further give brightness to the colors. Having painted the nail in a single color or by creating a “stretch”, you can proceed to the simplest image of a palm tree. A thin brush is first held a curved line depicting the trunk, and then several short, personifying leaves. By the way, such pictures can not be depicted on all of the marigolds, but only on some of them, and the remaining fingers can be decorated with a schematic designation of gulls in the form of check marks.
Design
Bright summer drawing with palm leaves at sunset will make with the help of several varnishes, sparkles, a thin brush for Chinese painting and black acrylic paint. If there is no desire to paint tropical landscapes on their own, then it makes sense to find suitable stickers. The image will be enough to put only on the unnamed fingers of the hand, and the rest to draw using a gradient with glitter. On the plate of the "prominent" finger, the base is first applied - white lacquer. While it dries, a gradient of three or four shades of pink is formed on a special sponge or ordinary sponge for washing dishes.
The resulting mixture of paints is transferred onto the nail of the ring finger by several pressing movements.
If necessary, this step can be carried out twice. After drying, it is better to immediately remove excess paint on the sides or on the cuticle using acetone. Then gold glitters are applied on the tip of the nail plate. Acrylic paint, typed black brush, drawn palm trunks, and after sprawling branches with leaves. The finished drawing is covered with a colorless fixer.
Having added a yellow varnish, it will turn out to create both soft and calm, and saturated bright manicure. For the image on the nails of palm trees, the combination of yellow and orange is most suitable. Deciding to take the risk, the sunset can be made orange - you get a stylish combination that is part of the novelties of the season. Of course, for this type of manicure will be appropriate to a variety of shades of pink, from neon to almost pastel. Having painted your nails green, you will surely get the attention of others and stand out from the crowd.
A purple palette and bright blue will also work. In this case, it is not necessary to paint palm trees with black paint - you can use dark blue or deep green. An interesting solution would be to use the azure color to cover all the marigolds and white acrylic paint to create images on some of them. Enters into fashion and drawing on one subject of the general subject on each nail.
Thus, on one finger there is a palm tree, on the other - silhouettes of the sea and the sun, and all the rest are covered only with a background tint.
Before starting a manicure, it is recommended to draw a picture on ordinary thick paper. You will have to apply the same brush that is planned for the manicure itself, or very similar to it. Next, follow the "rehearsal" on inexpensive overhead nails, which do not even need to stick on their own. Having built a suitable supply, you should form a “hand” and begin to work out the image. In the situation when the picture is not given, it makes sense to look for nail stickers or sliders. They will be enough to glue over the frozen varnish and secure with a transparent fixative.
What kind of events is suitable for?
Palm manicure looks best on vacation, especially on the beach. It perfectly reflects the environment, attracts attention and charges positive. After the holidays, he will also be happy to cheer up, recalling a successful holiday. However, it is better to do it for informal events and avoid inappropriate situations, that is, requiring an official dress code. Many girls are concerned about the question of whether the use of such a design is appropriate for a pedicure. The answer is positive, but with several conditions. In general, in a pedicure there should be a slight difference in both colors and pictures.
Therefore, for toenails, you can use one of the applied colors and decorate only your thumb with a pattern, for example, the top of a palm tree or gulls.
