The choice of color when creating a manicure is very important. Now saturated colors are firmly in fashion. One of the most popular is burgundy and its shades. But in order to create a harmonious image, you need to know the rules for combining design with tones, as well as all possible options for combining them.
Value
Burgundy color is not independent. It is obtained by mixing red and brown shades. Accordingly, it is quite harmoniously combined with them.
This shade is perfect for people who are energetic, purposeful, business and restrained. We can say that color cultivates these qualities, however, it is not recommended to use it when creating an image in large volumes. It can negatively affect the emotional state, keeping its owner in a constant tone. For this reason, a great option for its use is manicure. A small burgundy detail on the hands creates the necessary surroundings, but does not overload the bow.
This color is perfect for people with dark or simply tanned skin. There is great potential for combining its various shades and creating multifaceted compositions. For fair-skinned fashionistas, it is also suitable, but in combination with lighter colors. This will help dilute the overall impression of a rich tone.
In addition, I want to note that according to the age category there are no direct contraindications for the use of burgundy.
However, this color in its pure form is associated with solidity, which is not characteristic of young girls. The appearance in the image of such a manicure with an unsuccessful combination with a bow can age.
Shades
Burgundy color is derived for a large number of tones.
The main ones for creating a manicure are:
- Bordeaux;
- Marsala;
- crimson;
- dark cherry.
The shade of Bordeaux got its name from wine made in the province of the same name. He is the most saturated of this list. Its main advantage can be called the fact that it looks expensive and elegant. A little more subdued is the color of Marsala. This shade is considered intermediate between gray-red and purplish-red.
Berry tones look more juicy and lively. Dark cherry and raspberry are also popular, and are often used when creating summer onions. Raspberry color is considered the youngest of this series.
Bordeaux
Any of the above options can be successfully used to create designs on short and long nails. The shape of the tips, which can be either classical oval or rectangular, or square or sharp, is not an obstacle.
To obtain a harmonious and fashionable image, it is necessary to analyze in more detail the decor ideas using burgundy shades.
This color is suitable for evening and business looks. Bordeaux can be used with almost any technique. The jacket, lunar style, and floral decor look beautiful. It also goes well with warm shades, golden and nude tones. Beige colors will be an excellent basis for manicure, made with burgundy gel polish on short and medium length nails.
This shade looks luxurious in a matte tone and as an independent coating, and as the basis for any pattern. Most often, this combination is used when applying the veil in a contrasting color. But you can also experiment with various geometric patterns or minimalistic decor.
When creating combinations with rhinestones, an incredibly effective result is obtained. But here it is important not to overdo it. Refinement and luxury in the decor can be achieved by decorating a few fingers with a small amount of rhinestone.
There is another unusual version of the decoration, which is perfect for the burgundy base - this is “broken glass”. But it also should not be placed on all nails, but a maximum of three.
Marsala
The combination of brown and burgundy allows you to get the color of Marsala. This shade is quite versatile, and combines with any color. That is why the fashion for him goes from season to season.
When performing a manicure in a similar tone, the length of the nails is not significant. Therefore, there are many design options in which you can use it. Masters of nail art suggest using trending directions, adding a little "zest" that would highlight and emphasize the owner's personality. To solve this problem, a combination of several styles, for example, a jacket with a moon and flower decor, is excellent. Combinations using more than two directions have a much greater chance of uniqueness.
Marsala has its own characteristics, the main of which is seasonality. Designers recommend using a shade to decorate the decor in the winter, as it goes well with the cold gamut. This allows you to complement the image in the style appropriate for this season.
In addition, this color is chosen for a wedding manicure. For lovers of tones that are close to natural, nails of the shade of Marsala will simply be a find against the backdrop of a snow-white dress. For everyday manicure, you can choose this color not only as a monophonic coating, but also as part of a complex decor, decorated with a small amount of golden or silver sequins on several fingers.
Crimson
This shade in the color palette is closer to pink. You can say that this is his dark version, which goes well with cool colors. Raspberry tone is suitable for owners of very fair skin, emphasizes their tenderness and fragility.It looks great in any texture and combines with neighboring red and pink tones, which fits well with the ombre style. This gradient can be performed in any direction (vertical or horizontal), as well as in point form.
Another know-how of the shade is the possibility of combining it with flock. Material with such an unusual name is nothing more than pieces of pile, with the help of which they create a real velvet surface. Flock can be used both on the basis in raspberry color and in a contrasting pattern. Color blocking is also a trendy version of raspberry design. This decor, which combines several different, even opposite, colors. For such a combination, yellow and bright blue are perfect.
Dark cherry
This is a deep color that blends perfectly with the classic style in both clothes and nails. It looks most profitable on oval plates. Cherry gives this form a special femininity, audacity and elegance. This shade is preferred in creating an evening bow. Moreover, age restrictions are practically not important. Girls willingly use cherry as a seductive and playful accent.
Cherry tone is suitable for applying sequins and rhinestones, can be an excellent basis for a mirror or stained glass manicure. This gel polish is combined with any red shade and is recommended by nail designers as one of the components of an evening ombre manicure.
Of course, the shade looks gorgeous and more spectacular over a long nail length. To bring a manicure to the present will help such a form of nails as a “pipe”.
Long, but not sharp tips in matt cherry color with a small amount of gilded elements will impress the most experienced fashionistas.
The nuances of creating
When making manicure in burgundy shades, it is necessary to carefully treat the surface of the nail plate to completely eliminate even minor flaws. Covering such a tone is called difficult precisely because the slightest bumps on it are immediately visible. For this reason, manicure specialists consider it possible to use only gel polish. It involves both high-quality surface treatment by grinding, and the application of a leveling gel base. With its help, you can correct the small irregularities of the plate.
An important detail is the removal of the cuticle, which must be done carefully. Even a small rim at the base of the nail will be striking at the junction of such a bright shade.
The steps required for pre-treatment include:
- removal of the old coating;
- shaping the plate;
- cuticle removal;
- grinding of a working surface.
You also need to remember that colored nail polish, especially in bright colors, on the skin around the nail, will not decorate the manicure. To prevent these problems, before applying the coating, it is better to generously lubricate the periungual area with cream. In this case, even if the decor goes beyond the boundaries of the working surface, it can be easily removed with a cotton pad.
To create a decor in burgundy tones, there is a small life hack. If this shade is the main, then a transparent gel base can not be applied. It is better to use colored varnish in several layers. So the color will become more saturated. It is important to carefully dry each subsequent layer under the lamp. After applying the base, the final decor and drying it, it is necessary to use the final reinforcing coating. This is done for a longer use of manicure and create additional shine.
