Ideas to create a pink gradient manicure

Ombre on the nails conveys a smooth color transition from dark to light shade. World designers of the fashion industry on the threshold of 2010 literally pounced on a new trend. Until now, they have successfully used it in the field of beauty. Stylishly, the ombre effect looks on both short and long nails.

The secret of the gradient manicure lies in the fact that it fits in equally stylishly both in the image of a young beauty and an elegant age seductress. It is important to choose the right combination of pink palette and make a spectacular sharp or smooth transition of shades.

Gradient view of manicure gives endless scope for creativity. Masters create a lot of interesting transitions, using pink lacquer colors in their work, as well as a palette of contrast or similar in tint.

• Linear ombre. The hit of the season is important to perform within the same color range. There will not be smooth stretch marks, but the number of tones will increase to seven. "Neil" -designers impose several bands of any orientation, ranging from light to dark.

• Vertical gradient can be done by painting each nail in its own color from a single palette. You can choose several similar tones or simply change the intensity of the brush, the number of layers. The effect of the vertical ombre in this case will be noticeable only when all the fingers are joined together. In other cases, each nail can be painted with a vertical “degradation” separately.

• Horizontal stretch performed within one nail, creates an incredible scope for creativity and "nail art" techniques. On one hand, you can experiment by combining color transitions from the bottom up (from dark to light) and in mirror image (from light to dark).

• Gradient french became in demand in 2017 and still does not lose relevance. The “tandem” of pink pastel and white stripes is considered a classic, a smooth transition to which is carried out with the addition of curious textures (rhinestone, sparkles, glitter, etc.).

And the original ombre can be made in the technique of lunar manicure with the addition of geometric prints, openwork patterns, stickers, stamping, rubbing.

Light pink gradient is associated with innocence, femininity, coquetry. There are several categories of this color, ranging from warm tonality, cold accents based on fuchsia and ending with foggy light colors with a touch of gray, blue. At the peak of popularity in the upcoming season are such shades as:

• pink cloud;
• crystal rose;
• cream with peach;
• powdery with a shabby surface effect;
• sakura;
• flamingo;
• purple-pink.

If earlier “neyl” masters delicately dimmed light shades, today they create the most incredible gradient. With the color of spring sunset, such shades are boldly combined:

• amaranth;
• dark purple;
• turquoise;
• silver;
• White and black;
• red-violet;
• green (closer to the marsh, khaki);
• brown.

In color, creativity and “blurring” will be welcomed, and any strict framework will be prohibited. Must have of the upcoming season - any shade that is close to the color of the skin in combination with pink: beige, ivory, coffee, etc.Also, the “duet” of tea rose and berry mousse with violet hues looks provocative. Pink color is successfully combined with plum, cherry, graphite, pale cornflower blue, smoky-purple.

In order to make a stylish gradient on the nails, it is necessary to "arm" with the necessary shades of varnish, a mini sponge, a transparent varnish and a cosmetic cotton pad.

Sponge must be wetted in water and on its edge to draw a clear line in a dark color. Alternately, stripes of lighter pink shades alternate after it.

“Decorated” sponge is first imprinted on a white sheet to achieve smoother borders between colors, and then transferred to the nail. The porous structure of the sponge, the more noticeable it will be on the fingers.

It is necessary to get rid of excess varnish with the help of a special liquid and a cotton pad (stick). The result is fixed clear varnish. Further, the ombre is decorated with rhinestones, glitter, painting, etc.

When using shellac, the process will be much faster, and the result will be more effective and longer. It is important to prepare varnish with a clear, dense pigmentation, which can be applied in 2-4 layers. Coloring should begin with a light tone, gradually turning into juicy, dark.

Nail Art Masters use to work:

• base and finish for gel polish;
• brush comb;
• led-lamp;
• liquid removing the stickiness at the end of the coating.

At first, you will have to work with a buff, give shape to your nails, and degrease them. Next, a base is applied to the nails, on which a gradient will subsequently be drawn.

Starting from the moon, step by step, with small strokes, it is necessary to stretch the pigment and occasionally polemize the result. At the very end you need to fix the work of the finishing coating. To simplify the modern ombre on the nails, many masters use airbrushing. The tool speeds up the process of applying a gradient and makes the result perfectly neat.

The owners of the “rounded square” are recommended to complement this type of manicure with kamifubuki, rhinestones and rubbing on merging tones. Short nails will visually become larger, and long ones will turn into a real “canvas” for “nail art”. Here you will be able to display geometric patterns, create acrylic painting, lace “cobweb”, beautifully lay sequins.
