It is possible to use red color for the base coat, but not bright and causing, but its light shades. This is an excellent option for being at work and while studying.

• One of the successful solutions to the design of the French pedicure is the so-called European - you can paint any element on a transparent or matte varnish base: from flora to fauna, and paint the border of nails with the color that is the main one in the drawing. For example, green maple leaf and the same bezel.

• Color jacket, using different color bases with a pattern on them - a worthy and elegant choice. You can use blue, purple, green, and orange if you prefer to amaze others. Nail trim can be made in white, or also use contrasting shades. For example, if the “main” color of the base is blue, then the edging may be bright blue.

Bright red nails can be decorated with a silver edging - it will turn out nobly and uncleanly.

• Very popular lately French pedicure, made in the colors of ombre. A smooth transition from one color (mostly repelled from the base of the nail) to another leaves an unforgettable impression. Many professionals for this use up to five intermediate shades to emphasize the unusual design chosen. If desired, this technique can be applied to all fingers - to begin, for example, with bright red, and to the little finger the color can become pale pink. Some professionals offer to perform such a gradient in different directions: vertically, horizontally and diagonally.

Edging these two colors on a transparent basis will add zest to your pedicure. If this edging does not suit you, beat these colors in rhinestones: black and red rhinestones can be laid out in an arc or “scattered” on the nail plate of your thumb.
