Female legs always attract enthusiastic male looks. Wanting to be impeccable, a woman tries to pay attention even to her toenails, making stylish and modern pedicures. Unfortunately, not every design today is worthy of praise, because changeable fashion dictates its own rules. The material of this article will tell you about what is fashionable today and what is better to avoid when placing your toes.
Stylish color combinations
This season, fashion trends offer women's attention a wide color palette of quality pedicure coatings. Unites all groups (nude, pastel, monochrome and bright) nobleness and muted shades. The fact that the design of toenails this season is based on interesting color contrasts is also encouraging. For example, the best combinations of shades today are mixes:
- turquoise, white and beige;
- coral, white and olive;
- red with white and yellow;
- pale pink with white;
- blue with white and silver;
- orange with white;
- mint with turquoise (ombre);
- white with blue or blue;
- white with yellow and black;
- nude, white and black;
- khaki and light pink;
- white with yellow and blue;
- coral with white and black.
One of the favorites of the season is the wine shade of gel polish. It combines perfectly with white contrast, as well as slight accents of gold or silver plated sheen. Monochrome combinations are not inferior to him. For example, today you can do pedicures using a black base with white decor. The design in black and gold tones also looks beautiful, in which a discreet gold ornament is applied to the dark base.
It is impossible not to note the nude range, the coatings of which look great as the basis of a pedicure and even with a little decor give the female image notes of romance and sophistication. Celestial, light yellow, pinkish tones perfectly convey a sense of summer and freshness. Harmonious combinations of white and olive with a black pattern, peach with coral color. Peculiar design in pink and lilac tones, decorated with metal stripes.
Best options
The summer pedicure of this season breathes lightness and freshness. There is no need for design complexity, today almost every woman has all the means to create an effective design of her toes. Naturally, these are high-quality coatings and moderate decor. The bet is not on the number of embellishments, but on aesthetics, because a small pattern looks better on short nails than the variegation on each finger.
Partial Nail Painting
One of the extraordinary solutions of the changeable fashion is a partial decor of the nail plate. In this case, the nail base is not painted over with pigmented varnish: a light pattern is performed on top of it. This design looks unusual and stylish, even if the pattern on the nails is quite simple. Someone uses water-based stickers to design accent nails. Others prefer to create patterns with broths (microbeads).
Cuticle area selection
An equally original design option is the accentuation of the cuticle area with a solid nail base. This technique is performed from rhinestones, as well as a contrast-based gel polish. Since the length of the nails is already small, either small rhinestones are used for decoration, or they simply draw a narrow line (for example, with gold or silver varnish). Isolation of the cuticle can develop into a small pattern, performed in the form of a normal line or asymmetry.
Floral motifs
This season, more than ever, preference in decorating nails is given to floral themes. Flowers - lavender, lilies, dandelions - can be anything, the effect of the aquarium attracts attention. The main thing is not to overdo it: for expressive pedicure, one floral accent is enough. There should not be more than one flower in the design. It is better to place it on the big toe, leaving the rest of the nails plain.
Metal coatings
One of the trends of the season is the metal effect. There are many ways to create such coverage. Gel polish with a shimmer will look good on the toenails. If you do not like this option, stylists suggest paying attention to the use of foil. Of the several types of such decor, any woman can choose the most interesting option for her. Coatings with a metallic effect also look stylish. By the way, they can be combined with foil, choosing a decor for the thumbnail.
Patterns
If earlier there were complex patterns in fashion, today moderation of decor is the focus of attention. One of the popular elements for decorating nails this season are sticky adhesive tapes of different colors with a metal effect. With their help, an asymmetric design on the thumbs is created, the joints of the coatings of two different shades are masked. Fashionable to highlight the middle of the thumb with a small pattern. For example, you can cover the center of the nail plate with contrasting varnish and decorate it with Japanese kamifubuki decor.
Dry manicure
This technique is one of the most popular this season. Unedged, or European pedicure is considered more sparing for the toes. In this case, the cuticle is not cut, but pushed back. The method allows to achieve perfect preparation of the nail plates, excluding the further appearance of burrs. This method is also convenient because it does not need to soak the nails, and this allows you to maintain their shape (the plates become flatter in the water) and extend the durability of the applied helium coating.
Unusual ideas
For everyone who loves experiments, fashion trends offer to decorate the toenails with different creative ideas.One of them is newspaper design. They make it simple: they cover the nails with pigment, and then a newspaper, impregnated with alcohol, is applied to the dried coating. To get prints in the form of printed text, 30-40 seconds are enough, after which the newspaper is removed from the nails and the pedicure is covered with a finish layer, followed by drying.
A velvety effect can be created using flock powder. This design is created in seconds: a nail with a sticky layer of top coat is covered with flock powder, and then dried under a UV lamp. At the minimum cost of decorating the surface, the effect of the coating will be unusual and beautiful. With such nails it is difficult to go unnoticed.
Such patterns look beautiful under a knitted fabric. However, in order for such a pedicure to be stylish, it is important to choose a sticker on a large nail and a matte top. This design will look stylish with a finish that has a velvety coating effect.
Choosing a design for neutral shades, in addition to the contrast of white and black, you can bet on the contrast of glossy and matte texture.
Antitrends of summer
One of the main antitrends can be called false nails. If at fashion shows this is still being done in order to save time on design and drying of varnish, then at home it is better not to resort to such design options. Naturalness is in fashion today, and suddenly falling off nails from toes in the most inappropriate place will look, to put it mildly, creepy.
Long nails are hopelessly outdated. Do not allow the nail plate to protrude beyond the finger by more than 2 mm. This is not only ugly, but also extremely inconvenient. Yes, and long toenails look like their mistress went on the Sabbath. Too angular shape is excluded, everything should strive for naturalness.
A terrible design today is considered and design in acid colors. Such a pedicure evokes thoughts of the past, and in addition, it does not fit into any female image. This is vulgar and overly catchy, so neon tones, however you would like, should be replaced with the noble colors of the palette. Femininity is in vogue, to which protesting acid and poisonous tones are not related.
It is important to abandon sculpting and complex surround decor. The toenails are already short, the abundance of stucco moldings and large crystals will make their shape even smaller. In general, this will look ugly, and it will complicate the choice of clothes that will have nothing left, how to adapt to the existing pedicure.
The decor should be minimal and practical, which can not be said about the volumetric elements that cling to everything that they touch.
It's time to get rid of the "wrong" drawings. The print for animal skins is hopelessly outdated: decoration of accent nails with zebra patterns and leopard color today seems to be a sign of bad taste. Lightness should be felt in the drawings. Outdated and coatings with a cat effect and even more so gel polish for a turtle color.
It is time to move away from the abundance of rhinestones covering almost the entire nail plate. Lightness is in fashion today, and it is difficult to create if all nails are studded with sequins of various sizes. In addition, such a design today is suitable for a female image, but only for the evening.
The phrase that there are never a lot of stones is outdated today, because ordinary female jewelry is enough to demonstrate the status.
