Manicure of a modern woman can be different. This became especially possible after mastering the methods of nail extension. Having achieved the desired length and shape, often the choice of design baffles, because the richest list of proposals is easy to get confused. Let's see what the current solutions offer fashion in the current season for the registration of increased nails.
Features
Nail extension is a procedure that allows you to lengthen the nails and improve the nail bed. This is especially important for nail plates with a shape that is far from ideal. Regardless of the type used to build the material, opportunities for decorating nails in a variety of manicure techniques.
In this case, the design can be performed both in one technique, and at the same time in two or even three.
Perform building by means of a gel or acrylic. In one case - when working with gel - the process requires a special LED lamp, in the other - when working with acrylic - the material dries itself in a short time. For building use special paper templates or plastic tips. The upper forms are convenient because they can increase the length of the bitten or too broken nails. This process takes less time than working with lower forms.
The extension is performed after removing the old coating and preparing the nail plates., because without grinding the material on their nails will not be able to hold well. Due to the length of accrued nails, the area under the design increases, which means that there are opportunities for choosing a print and a different decor that you cannot afford on too short and narrow nails.
Nail forms
It is worth considering the fact that the shape of the enlarged nails will depend not only on the skills of the master. Often it is still subject to the type of blanks or tips used. Templates have a different type of arch, they are designed for a different edge. However, this does not confuse professionals who can create the desired shape, having even one set of frames in their arsenal.
As for the best form, then every woman will have her own. And the point here is not so much in fashion as in the peculiarities of its nail plates and their holes. The master draws attention to this nuance by choosing the right shape for fingers, hand, and the position of the side walls of the plate at the initial stage of building.
In addition, the shape of the hole is important, because ideally the edge of the nail should be its mirror image. This will give your hands and fingers elegance, balance shape.
As for fashion trends, the fashion in this regard has its own options. She today recommends extending her nails to make an oval, almond and soft square. All three forms are considered universal and feminine, which is especially important for the image of a modern woman. They are good for the fair sex of different ages and styles. However, if a soft square looks good on short nail plates, then oval and almond nails need a great length.
Fashion believes that the excess length of the extended nails looks unnatural, but because it invites women to stop their choice at a moderate length. On average, the grown edge should not exceed 7 mm.This is enough to fit a special design on the nail, to demonstrate the beauty and uniqueness of the selected texture.
In addition, the nails of moderate length look equally beautiful and delicate and bright shades of lacquer coatings, and therefore even a hint of vulgarity and boredom is excluded.
Design techniques
One of the most interesting methods for the design of accrued nails is the aquarium design. It is created by means of a modeling substance and they also seal the decor inside the nails. This manicure looks elegant and volume. Due to the length on such nails, you can perform not only individual sketches, but even whole compositions. Dried flowers, small seashells, confetti, slider design, small insects and even ordinary sand can be sealed inside the structure.
A stylish design option for artificial nails will be French design. It can be performed on the basis of traditional or reverse method aqua-design. In each case, you can achieve an extraordinary result by changing the width and shape of a smile. It can be a classic arc-shaped, in the form of a wave, zigzag, heart, lightning, two triangles.
In addition, today the design with a secondary handle is popular, which can be made using the technique of negative space or with a thin brush over the main background.
As for the reverse french, you can create it in different ways. Like the traditional version, it may tend to asymmetry and diagonal lines. You can create it on top of the main background with special acrylic paints, gel polish and even artistic watercolor. As well as an inverted jacket, you can create a regular dot pattern, made by means of dots. You can create a French design and by accentuating the cuticle with arches of rhinestones.
One of the most popular manicure options today is the gradient in all its varieties. The effect of a smooth transition, which can be created on extended nails, today has 4 types. In addition to the vertical and horizontal options, today it is fashionable to fit a stretch inside accent nails. For example, on the accent nail, an ombra can be made in the shape of a triangle, circle, oval, rhombus, polygon.
You can perform a gradient in two directions. For example, the base can be a regular stretch from the bottom up, and on top of it is a vertical strip and a reverse ombre is created on it. If at the same time to decorate the top layer with acrylic powder, you get a three-dimensional design in the spirit of the latest fashion. If you want a novelty, you can perform a gradient from finger to finger using related shades of the same color. The design with a multi-colored stretching of shades of a pastel group will also look beautiful.
Combined techniques look beautiful on extended nails. For example, the same jacket is perfectly combined with classic monotonous nails, moon design, gradient, veil, broken glass. As for the classics, it is considered one of the most elegant manicure techniques today. The texture of the coatings of the same color can be ennobled with various powder materials, rhinestones and patterns.
The veil technique today has somewhat moved away from its original appearance. If earlier contour stroke was fundamentally important for it, today drawings and outlines are considered superfluous, because a translucent background can be decorated in a more interesting way. For example, it is possible to depict a geometrical figure on such a basis, fill it with glitter or acrylic sand. And also a veil with a gradient effect will look beautiful on which you can draw lace, stripes or fix a sparkling decor.
"Broken glass" is remarkably unusual effect. This design is often performed on extended nails due to its catchiness and novelty.Create a design by cutting and sticking on the nail pieces of nail film with a different effect (from holography to the mirror). Broken glass can become part of the design, a geometric figure, a Frenchman’s smile, a butterfly's wing, and a flower petal.
Color spectrum
Currently, the palette of colors to perform manicure is very diverse with numerous shades of different colors, which can be more than a hundred. In each of the color palette groups there are tones that can be used for stylish and modern design. This is certainly a gentle pastel chosen by fashion for tenderness and harmony of shades. They are perfectly combined with each other and fit most of the elements of women's wardrobe. The best in this group are mint, blue, pink, caramel, turquoise, milky shades.
Neutral colors of the palette are in great demand this season. White, black, gray tones decorate most designs, these pigments are used for decorating and stroking, combining them with gold, bronze or silver, depending on preferences.
By the way, the addition of a shimmer is very popular today, and in the design it is possible to combine both small pearl pollen and large sparkles at the same time. It is fashionable to cover a black base with sparkles, thereby creating the effect of precious spraying of individual drawings.
Dark tones are relevant: marsal, wine, burgundi, emerald, eggplant. Their combination with black contrast is popular. They look great with a nude - such a contrast today is considered super popular.
Unlike white, nude tone allows you to create a softer color contrast. At his expense, the manicure looks harmonious in any female image and without a hint hints at the refinement of nature.
Among the bright colors worth noting fuchsia, blue and red. For autumn design choose orange, rich yellow and lemon, in winter you need to pay attention to the brown color and the shade of the sea wave. Among other paints, neon ones are also in demand, allowing you to create a juicy fruit design. This is a bright raspberry, green-yellow, bright purple, acid-orange. Bright and juicy tones of fresh greens are very popular.
Extra Decor
Depending on the width of the nail plates and their length, various decorative elements can be used for the design of the extended nails.
Painting
The most expensive way to decorate the monotonous surface of accrued marigold is hand-painted. It can be done in different ways (watercolor painting, single brushstroke technique, drawing on a wet basis, or through the use of varnishes with a flowering effect). This decoration of nails is quite laborious and requires constant training on special training cards used by masters to hone their artistic skills.
Slider design
A stylish and quite original substitute for hand-drawing is a slider design. In fact, these are water stickers on a paper backing that are glued directly onto an undried top (base, ultrabond), replacing hand-painted with them.
By the way, it was the masters who noticed that it was possible to mask akvakartinki by hand painting, tinting individual elements of the picture and summing up some of its contours. So you can reduce the time for drawing and perform a professional design, as in the cabin.
Kamifubuki
One of the most popular types of decor are kamifubuki (multicolored confetti for manicure). They can be used on top of a colored gel polish or gel, they are also relevant in aquarium design. Having the most diverse shape in the form of hearts, geometric shapes, stars, butterflies, bears, cats and letters, they will not only add a special mood to the design, but also indicate its belonging to a certain season.
The trend of a hint of seasonality is one of the leading in the design of modern manicure.
Fimo
For summer decoration of accrued nails, you can use fimo of various shapes and colors. This decor is a cut figurines from a small stick. Most often, these are fruits and berries that decorate artificial nails after applying a hybrid coating and sealing layer. The material is not the most practical, but effective and memorable.
Rub in
It should be noted such a decor tool, such as rubbing. According to its structure, it is light and practically weightless pollen, which is rubbed into the top to change the original texture of the coating. Apply the powder composition can be painted on the nail or a transparent coating. The effect in each case will be different, because the veil looks different not only in different shades of used coatings, but also on different texture.
There is a lot of material variations, but mirror dust is no longer in fashion today. She was replaced by the "mermaid", "northern lights" and "May beetle". The less time rubbing powder, the easier and more weightless its effect.
Rubbing has the ability to enrich the glossy finish with a more aesthetic mother-of-pearl, than a shimmer paint with glitter. As well as trendy material for decorating extended nails are mica flakes yuki.
Foil
One of the novelties of fashion has become and tape foil. This material gradually acquires its own varieties, thanks to which it is possible to decorate manicure with detachable fragments of foil, imitating gold or silver dust or even marble. In addition, foil tapes can have the most diverse print that will allow you to create a manicure for various purposes with their help.
This material is inexpensive, combined with a slider design, is sold in plastic bottles, it needs a special glue for high-quality transfer from the film to the painted nail plate.
Stones and rhinestones
This decor is rather contradictory: someone considers it a relic, someone likes it, and still others consider it superfluous, preventing the texture from showing itself in all its glory. Fashion considers rhinestones and stones appropriate decor nail extensions. However, she draws attention to the fact that for a stylish effect, these decorative elements need strict dosage, pinpoint placement and detailed reflection on the design composition. They can not stick around all the fingers or even one plate entirely. It is ugly, rude and pompous.
Manicure with rhinestones or other inlays is better to use as a substitute for tiny flowers, leaves, dew drops, glare on butterfly wings, spike grains, as well as individual monogram elements.
Theme and style
Making accrued marigold will depend on the destination and preferences of women in clothing. For example, the decor style needs abundant decoration and a choice of bright colors, contrary to all the rules, it must contrast or even compete with clothes. These are necessarily pink and neon puppet colors, pretty patterns, contrast of matte and glossy textures.
If the nails need to take into account the strict rules of the dress code, you have to rely on modesty and restraint. These are predominantly bodily or nude tones, a French jacket with a white or pastel smile, geometric prints with an emphasis on conciseness.
By the way, the theme of geometry here better than other prints will allow you to create a high status design. If at the same time to approach the choice of colors, in the design can be used and silver pigment.
One of the most gentle and feminine options are wedding registrations of extended nails. Here, the ideal themes will be monograms and laces, which will indicate a feature of the moment better than other patterns. As for tones, for the base you can choose white pearl, bleached mint, pale pink, lilac and delicate blue color. The design itself can be simple, with one emphasis on the nail of the ring finger, or more generous to the decor.
However, in order for a wedding manicure to look beautiful with decorations, it should not be overloaded with an abundance of drawings and accents.
The bow of a city dweller can convey her preferences not only in clothes. Today the so-called kawaii theme with its marshmallows is in fashion. The style of an anime girl or Lolita is expressed in the choice of pastel shades of lacquer, delicate and pretty patterns on the accent nails of the manicure. It can be both caramel candy, and twisted marshmallow sticks, hearts, cats, bears pandas, prints of teddy toys, polka dots and shiny stripes.
Scandalous individuals can afford creative solutions. Their hands can be decorated not only with bright colors of lacquer, but also with an unusual shape of nails. For example, ultrafashionable stand out can be a manicure with nails, teeth, nails, daggers, swings. Sometimes the form seems to be quite reasonable, but the decor makes you look back over and over again in order to understand what its hostess liked so much. Such girls can glue on the nails a modeling tool in the form of noses with a mustache, faces with hair, pieces of fur, tiny pompons and even LEDs.
Fans of bright images rarely pass by rich shades of coatings and eye-catching décor. Their bows can decorate, for example, designs in red-white or red-gold contrast. In this case, the theme of fashion design can be laced, geometric or romantic. Also in demand compositions on the theme of the sea and glamor. The manicure of such fashionistas can be decorated with accents with gilded crowns, red lips and flirtatious beauties.
Summer is a great reason to indulge yourself with a design with floral motifs and all kinds of vegetation. For example, given the relevance of green shades, you can decorate the summer set of urban fashionista with a design with butterflies, dragonflies, ladybirds. It is fashionable to draw dandelions on the nails with umbrellas flying in the wind. Volumetric dandelions, umbrellas of which can be created as a transparent modeling gel, will become an original solution.
