Beautiful manicure is a business card of a well-groomed woman. The design of nails made by blue gel polish will give the image of tenderness and naturalness.
Types of manicure
The procedure for nail care provides a full range of services: from giving the nail plate a certain shape and removing the cuticle to staining and decorating with decorative elements. All these stages of nail processing can be done independently or with a nail art master in a beauty salon.
It is customary to distinguish three basic manicure techniques that relate to certain rules for adjusting the nail plate and applying a decorative coating.
- French. This type of manicure is characterized by applying a characteristic strip to the tip of the nail. Classic French manicure implies the use of white color to design the edge of the nail, but in the conditions of modern trends, the use of any pastel colors including shades of light blue is allowed.
- American manicure. This design option provides for a uniform coating of the nail plate. The colors of gel polish can be delicate or saturated (up to dark turquoise).
- Spanish nail art technique. As the basis for Spanish manicure, milky matte varnish is used, and the top layer is a bright glossy finish, for example, turquoise. Most often, the coating is applied not entirely, but in the form of strips. As a small addition, you can use decorative elements. It will be enough to single out one nail.
Shades
Thanks to modern technologies, gel polishes not only provide nails with a beautiful and well-groomed appearance for a long time (up to three weeks), but also do not harm them, since these manicure products contain hypoallergenic natural ingredients.
The varnish palette is very extensive. If you are planning to make a manicure with blue gel polish, then you have huge opportunities for choosing a shade: from pale blue and sky-turquoise to saturated shades with a gray tint and blue-azure.
A variety of shades allows you to choose the right one for any clothes, season and mood. In spring and summer, a blue tint can be combined with any outfits in bright colors, and in winter, to create an image, it is recommended to wear a blue handbag, scarf or scarf.
The demand for blue is due to the versatility of its use as a coating of marigolds for daily wear, including for work, for going out and for a date. For everyday manicure, it is better to choose lacquers of light shades, and for evening events - a blue-blue ombre, complemented by interesting ornaments and sparkles.
A blue tone with contrasting drawings or applications (for example, with yellow flowers), glitter, rhinestones will create a very effective manicure, which is suitable for an extravagant person.
Romantically-minded young ladies are advised to choose a pale blue coating of nails in combination with images of flowers or butterflies. The main rule: images should be in harmony with each other and the main tone.
The choice of color of gel polish also depends on the length of the nails. For short nails, you should choose dark shades. Moreover, it is important to achieve a perfectly flat surface of the nails with the help of polishing, as the blue color makes any flaws in the nail more noticeable.
Owners of long nails will use a gradient coating using several shades with a smooth transition. The most common gradient options:
- blue and gray, complemented by golden glitter;
- blue and white (the latter is used as a base, should have a glossy surface);
- blue with turquoise, complemented by silver glitter;
- light blue and azure blue.
Fashion trends
To create a beautiful design of manicure blue color master nail art use the following techniques:
- apply ornaments and paintings;
- decorate the light base with dark stripes of the same shade;
- use several shades to design nails;
- decorate the nail plate with rhinestones and sequins.
All techniques used to design nails should correspond to a certain style of clothing and event. Glitter of gold and silver shades will adequately adorn the lacquer base of a blue hue. However, if the tone of the coating is barely noticeable, it is better to use sparkles of a golden hue, and silver shiny particles will look better on the coating in a saturated tone.
Recently, it has become very fashionable to combine pink and blue shades in manicure. It is recommended to choose light tones of both varnishes, then the whole design will look very harmonious. Such a manicure will look best on short nails. Decor is allowed with small rhinestones and silver glitter.
When decorating nails with rhinestones, you need to remember that these decorative elements, in most cases, are used in manicure for an evening out, but if the decor is done correctly (one pebble per nail), then this design can be worn as everyday.
Masters of nail art recommend abandoning laying out stones with a simple line, since this design is no longer considered fashionable. Compositions of rhinestones of different sizes look much more interesting (pebbles can play the role of accents in drawings and ornaments on nails). A combination of rhinestones and other decorative elements looks unusual: camifubs, broths, chains.
Spangles in manicure are always a claim to a festive look. For the decor of a blue background, you can use a shimmer, that is, diffused soft radiance or glitter (rather large sparkles), cover the entire plate or selectively, in zones. For bolder natures, it is recommended to use multi-colored kamifubuki.
It will be interesting to look at a manicure with patterns of black, brown, red and blue shades on a blue background. The accents of a cream, white or yellow-green shade on a blue base will look modest and gentle.
The blue color can also be used in a classic jacket, replacing it with a traditional white “smile” along the edge of the nail. If the jacket is used in conjunction with a lunar manicure, then a lunula can be decorated in lilac or silver.
Blue ombre in combination with white or pink tones is gaining popularity. This option looks very stylish and fresh.
The drawings, made by the master in a light blue tone of the nails, corresponding to the color of the eyes, hair, makeup and clothing style of their owner, can be called a real masterpiece. Most often, plant motifs become the main painting. They look gentle, romantic, fresh in spring.
Popular and landscape sketches, reminiscent of a vacation in exotic countries, and still lifes with fruits. Such drawings will perfectly complement the beach look and cheer up. To create a true sense of the reality of the image, you can apply a finishing gel, which will create the illusion of the presence of water droplets on the nails.
A popular pattern this season is the sweater. It looks especially impressive in the design of velvet sand. This does not mean that decorative sand can be used only in the cold season. In summer, it will look very harmonious in the design of floral designs and monograms. It is enough to decorate one or two fingers with sand to make the manicure look stylish and unusual.
Among the popular novelties there are also black and white stripes and monograms and nail design using the sweet bloom technique.
