Shellac manicure design ideas depending on the season

Beautiful manicure not only emphasizes well-groomed hands, but also allows you to give a unique look to the female image. Cooking, playing sports, doing homework and playing with children often cause a quick “death” of the nail design. To protect nails from the negative effects and preserve the original nail art, many girls choose shellac manicure, because it is considered safe for the horn surface and is simple in home decoration.

Shellac is a special varnish, which is made on a helium base and keeps on the nails for a long time (a month or more). Since the nail plate grows and with time an unpainted distance appears on it, it is recommended to correct such a manicure every three weeks. To do this, the old coating is removed and a new layer of gel polish is applied.

In addition to the advantages, shellac has minor flaws. For example, it is not recommended to use it for owners of thin plates, since they bend and worsen the contact of the gel with the nails, as a result, the coating cracks and loses its attractiveness. Do not approach such a manicure and ladies with fast-growing plates, since it will have to be updated twice a month, and such a procedure is expensive.

But the above disadvantages are not a reason for refusing a manicure, if you purchase all the necessary tools and materials, it is quite possible to do it yourself. It will be cheaper and open up the possibility of translating any design idea into reality.

Before making shellac at home, you need to purchase a UV lamp, a colored gel polish, a minimal manicure set and be patient, as it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect the first time. The technique for performing a manicure can be different, as a standard, the procedure includes several stages.

• First, dry manicure is done. The old coating is removed, the cuticle is lubricated with emollient oil and pushed to the base with an orange stick. Then, using the shelves, they give the nails the necessary length and shape. When the work is completed, the plates must be degreased.
• The next step is the preparation of marigolds for applying shellac. They are covered with a transparent base and dried under a UV lamp for no more than one minute. After that, the base is applied under gel polish, it can be of any color. The painting technique is no different from applying ordinary varnish. Each finger in turn is placed in the lamp for 5-6 seconds.

• Next, they proceed to the most crucial moment - coating the plates with shellac. It is best to coat the nails with gel polish in two layers, so the surface will turn out to be durable and acquire a more contrasting color. The plates are re-dried under the lamp and fixed with a finish varnish.
• The procedure ends with the removal of the sticky layer with the help of a clinser or napkin. Additionally, the nails are opened with the top and lubricated the cuticle with a nutrient.

In this and next season shellac manicure is very popular because it looks natural and has a rich design. Although any marigold length is now in fashion, most fashionistas prefer short plates. As for the form, oval and rounded plates are currently relevant, they almost replaced rectangular and square shapes from nail art.

Next year's summer manicure provides for uniformity, rejection of complex decor and maximum decoration with rhinestones. For summer shellac, a small length of nails is ideal (no more than 1 cm). Next summer, square and rounded plate shapes will be in fashion. The leaders in the color palette will be light green, carrot, pink, blue and light green. Summer is considered the time when it is necessary to get rid of layering, so fashionistas are advised to completely abandon the gel buildup and replace it with shellac.

An interesting solution for such a manicure will be juicy and vibrant images of strawberries. Red color combines favorably with white accents, complementing the nails with lightness and piquancy. It is not necessary to draw strawberries on all the plates, it is enough to choose the ring finger and thumb for decoration, the rest can be decorated with compositions in the form of whipped cream. The green tail of the strawberry will be the final touch in the nail art, it should be carefully drawn in the hole of the marigold.

Well suited for summer shellac and design in oriental style. Delicate manicure can be used as a complement to both everyday and evening look. The basis for this design will be a classic French manicure, it will be elegantly decorated with Chinese painting in the form of flowering sakura branches.

Autumn shellac must be decorated in orange and yellow colors. In addition, a bright palette can be diluted with bluish, blue and gray-white shades, which are associated with rainy weather. An interesting option would also be the use of gold paints. To get a beautiful autumn manicure, you need to adhere to a certain sequence.

• First prepare the plates (give them shape, length and degrease). After covering the base, the main background is applied to the nails, choosing a gray-white gel polish for this.
• Then, using a thin brush, golden and blue leaves are drawn on each finger. Their contours can be circled with orange gel polish and put a few yellow dots.
• Then everything is dried under the lamp and fixed with a protective layer. If desired, the design is complemented with rhinestones or sparkles.

Autumn compositions look beautiful and in openwork. The background is green and the patterns are applied with dark green and golden gel polish. A similar design will give the image a real autumn note. To make the composition look more effective, cover only two nails on the hand with dark green varnish, while the rest is decorated with golden shades. Using a cling film, each plate is in turn decorated with delicate patterns.

In addition, similar nail art looks interesting with painting. Compositions in the form of mountain ash or maple leaves are applied to a bright fiery or yellow background. If desired, drawings of red berries, fungi and acorns can be applied to the nails. For girls who love a strict design without drawings, you can perform gradient manicure with smooth transitions of red and orange colors. For an evening look, nail art needs to be complemented with sparkles.

Winter shellac is special because festive styling prevails in it. Winter is considered the time of year, from which everyone expects the fulfillment of cherished desires. Therefore, the manicure should be magical, fabulous, decorated with compositions in the New Year theme. It will help to complement a beautiful outfit and hairstyle.

Stylists recommend choosing purple, blue, blue, white and silver shades for winter shellac. A classic option for such a manicure will be a jacket, which can be decorated with blurry borders, sparkles, rhinestones and the effect of broken glass. As patterns, images of cloves, geometric shapes and waves are well suited. This winter, a bold combination of shellac with other design techniques is allowed in winter nail art. Therefore, in one embodiment, it is possible to simultaneously apply gel-varnish coating, make an unusual jacket and insert metallic elements or bushings.

At the same time, it is recommended to decorate the separately unnamed nail with golden or silver foil. This will give the manicure at the same time brightness and restraint.
