As the statistics show, with all the existing variety of options, the most common colors of nail polish used to cover nails are red, pink, as well as French manicure.
Nevertheless, brave ladies decorate their hands not only with traditional design, but also strive to try new techniques and combinations of shades. One of them is blue lacquer in combination with silver sparkles.
Shades
Blue has many shades, which, in turn, allows you to create very different designs in terms of saturation and brightness.
Dark and bright shades of blue are:
- ultramarine;
- indigo;
- sapphire;
- cobalt;
- an electrician;
- teal - color on the border of blue and green;
- navy - the so-called sea;
- midnight - midnight blue mixed with black.
If for some reason you are not ready to wear such saturated colors on your nails, you can pay attention to the light shades of blue:
- azure;
- turquoise;
- cornflower;
- cyan (so called gray shade);
- pale moon
Designs
The blue color in all its manifestations (except the most pastel) is well combined with other colors - red, white, yellow, black. Silver and gold give luxury and sophistication to design with soloing shades of the sea and sky. In addition, rhinestones, kamifubuki, modeling and sand look great on blue.
If we talk about the blue-silver combination, it is rather a winter manicure. Although nothing prevents to wear it at any other time of the year.
The simplest design is a moon manicure, where the main coating is made of sapphire or indigo, and the hole is lined with silver. The combination of the same colors on different fingers looks spectacular - four are covered with silver lacquer and the rest are azure.
The combination of these colors is a huge amount, as well as the manicure technician. This may be a gradient on two or four nails, and the other fingers are covered in the same color. A silver jacket on a light blue or cornflower blue lacquer will look beautiful and original. Bright silver geometry only emphasizes the depth and saturation of ultramarine or indigo.
Pungent "broken glass" or silver foil will attract additional attention to the hands. The combination of matte and glossy coatings, so popular nowadays, looks great on blue lacquer.
If you are doing a manicure for the New Year, you can combine different techniques of its implementation, and it will not look excessive. Silver monograms will look great if they are complemented with rhinestones - both small and huge. Shiny sand will make your hands shine, and the appropriate shade of rubbing will cause festive associations and create a joyful mood. Sliders or stemping - in the New Year, everything is permissible and in the most inconceivable combinations.
Blue cat-eye manicure looks very impressive. It can act as a solo, and be the basis for the implementation of monograms, calculations of rhinestones, beads, all sorts of patterns.
It is on the deep shades of blue and green that designs with rhinestones look most impressive, but even the largest of them do not look excessive. If the abundance of stones for you is too much, you can cover part of the nail with sparkles. Such a manicure will look more restrained, but at the same time elegant.
“Caviar” design, in which, as a rule, one nail is completely covered with small beads, “bouillons”, will look no less impressive in the proposed colors: a gray-silver king-nail, the rest are cornflower or ultramarine.
And, of course, “Gzhel” is an original design, a combination of bright blue and white, into which minimal splashes of silver sparkles will perfectly fit.
The marble, which has not lost its popularity this season on nails, is also beautiful in the proposed combination. Of course, it must be done very carefully.
Nuances
The only condition for these shades is not to take more than one or two shades for them as companions. Since blue is in itself a rather saturated color, a large number of accompanying shades can create ripples and fuss on nails, and this is not at all the effect that a lady wants when she comes to a manicure.
The length of the nails for a combination of blue and silver can be any: this combination looks beautiful on short nails with a free edge length of 2-3 mm, and on infinitely long ones.
Choosing any of the manicure techniques, you should take care of which master and in which salon he will perform. Not only beauty, but also safety should be priorities in the care of your hands. Only then will they look beautiful. It is absolutely unimportant what color nail polish.
