It is rare that a woman refuses an effective pedicure, because the desire to be irresistible is inherent in us since childhood. However, due to the variability of fashion, designs succeed each other, and sometimes a beautiful design seems inappropriate in one case or another. Let's put all the dots over i, finding out what is now in trend and how to properly design your toenails so that the pedicure is not only effective, but also appropriate.
Antitrends
For starters, you should immediately identify the main mistakes that cannot be made. This must be taken into account, since even a beautiful shade with the wrong approach to the pedicure can ruin the design of nails:
- the length of the nails should tend to natural (long nails - taboo);
- it's time to forget about false nails (the trend is naturalness and naturalness);
- the abundance of decor and volumetric elements needs to be replaced with practical decorative techniques (a lot of stucco, stones and rhinestones are bad);
- it is worth abandoning a wide strip when drawing a jacket (the nails are already short, no need to emphasize this);
- the dosage of the decor is important (the pattern on each finger destroys the expressiveness of the pedicure);
- urgently need to remove from the color palette coatings of acid and toxic tones (this is one of the main antitrends).
Color palette
This season, stylists highlight several color lines. These are shades of a pinkish and powdery group. Nude today is the basis of classic manicure, pink tones are perfectly combined with bright contrasts, they give the female image sophistication and romance.
This is the best choice of tones for daily dresses.
The pastel gamut of tones is also in demand today. It is distinguished by the depth and purity of colors, through which you can perform a bright and spectacular design. Creamy, milky, lilac, peach-pink, mint and blue colors are popular. The focus is on light green hues, pistachio, turquoise tones. One of the favorite shades is wine color. Its contrasts with white, silver or gold color make it possible to complete the woman's solemn bow. Harmonious and saturated blue, its combination with white looks beautiful.
Pleases this season and neutral gamut: pedicure in black, white and mother-of-pearl gray tones is also in demand and popular with modern fashionistas. To reveal the beauty of tones, stylists suggest performing the design with a game of matte and glossy type of varnish. Sometimes for a beautiful pedicure a monophonic base and several small rhinestones on an accent nail (big toe) are enough. A combination of white with tones of the pink band and a small pattern using black is welcome.
Season trends
Modern and vibrant pedicure this season is a simple but stylish design. Sometimes the texture of the gel polish used is sufficient for this, in other cases, emphasis is placed on the contrast coating. Sparkling decor can also add elegance to the design.
However, whatever type of design is chosen, it must be beautiful, practical and extraordinary. This can be done in different ways.
Today, fashion trends offer modern women of fashion some extraordinary pedicure ideas through which you can make your bow brighter. For example, if lunar design was previously held in high esteem, today it is considered fashionable to accentuate the cuticle area, highlighting it with a thin line or several small rhinestones. Even the usual monophonic coating will look more vivid and unusual if a similar decor appears on the big toe. You can also draw a line with gold or silver, but always thin.
To make the pedicure look beautiful, bright and effective, you can use coatings with a metallic effect. Today they are one of the trends of the season.
If you don’t like this option, you can resort to decorating accent toe nails with specialized foil. This season she is presented in five varieties, so that any fashionista can choose between, for example, translated, sheet, embossed, compressed or in stripes.
Fashionable partial staining of accent nail. This conveys the ease of pedicure, it seems more airy and at the same time brighter. In this case, the pattern covering the nail plate can be located in the upper part or in the center, leaving the third part of the nail unpainted. This design looks unusual and stylish, however, it is used on the thumbs, because a similar decoration of small nail plates will make them invisible.
Unusual design
If earlier a pedicure with a pattern adorned almost all toes, today this approach indicates a loss of expressiveness of design. So that he was truly beautiful, modern and spoke about the delicate taste of a woman, one or two accents is enough. In this case, the figure should be selected thoroughly. For example, it can be a small sakura branch or a single flower. Options with a floral print that does not fit on the nail plate will simplify the design.
Creative and newspaper pedicure, for which use pieces of newspaper. They are dipped for several seconds in alcohol, and then applied for printing to a monophonic coating applied to the nails. Next, the newspaper is removed from the nails and the picture is covered with a layer of top coating with its drying. This pedicure looks especially impressive on a light basis.
Fingers decorated with a pattern for a knitted fabric look unusual. To make the effect more realistic, they use a matte top, covering them with glued images and drying them under a UV lamp.
For greater harmony, all nail plates are covered with a matte top. As a rule, a similar pattern is used only for the thumb, because the pattern will not be visible on small ones.
In fashion broths (small beads), which are used as an independent decor of the entire nail plate. They also create drawings in the form of curved lines, individual flowers, complementing with a pair of small rhinestones. The nail designs using flock powder are not inferior to broths in popularity. This velvety coating effect is created by sprinkling flock powder on a dry layer of top coat. Fashionable and the effect of the aquarium, which gives volume to any image on the nail plate.
The trend is glitter and kamifubuki (multi-colored confetti of various shapes). But if earlier the entire nail plate was filled with a similar decor, today the dosage is important. Such embellishments will look much more interesting if they are used to highlight some part of the nail. For example, kamifubuki can decorate only the central or lower part of the nail, located on a bright base coating.
Drawings
If the summer pedicure is based on the use of a drawing, it can be created in several ways. For example, using special stickers.
Regarding the subject, it can be a variety of flowers, which is especially true for the summer, as well as geometric patterns created by foil strips on a sticky basis (micro scotch tape).
By the way, scotch tape perfectly masks the joints of different shades of gel polish on one nail plate.
Summer jacket on the sea can be a classic translucent or pinkish with a white stripe. It looks beautiful with a highlighted accent nail, decorated with sequins in the form of shells. At the same time, a mix of sand and turquoise, symbolizing the sea coast, will be a good combination of shades. Against this background, gold sequins will look good.
In the decoration of the nails of the hands and feet in the same style.
At the same time, the design of the legs can both repeat individual patterns of accents of manicure, and maintain the unity of design solely due to the shade of the gel polish used. Bright pedicure for the summer can be multi-colored, which will allow you to wear it under most of the woman’s summer wardrobe. However, in order to make it look harmonious, you need to combine muted shades.
If rhinestones in the decor are important, use them correctly: instead of filling the entire nail plate, distribute them in the cuticle area or close the junction of two contrasting shades with them. The design with rhinestones will inspire romance, if you use the pink tone of the coating, it will hint at luxury when decorating rich tones. Rhinestones can be positioned asymmetrically and vertically. They can accentuate floral motifs and lace decor elements.
