With the onset of the new nail season, the color palette of colors is enriched with fresh shades. This applies to each of its groups, especially pastel, whose tones set the basis for the most elegant design decisions. Since the design of nails with gel polish in pastel colors has its own nuances, let us dwell on them in more detail, indicating what the changeable fashion offers its fans today.
New nail design gel polish
This season, fashion is tired of bulky designs and weighty designs. She decided to take a break and teach us, with the seeming simplicity of the coatings, to make notes of high status in the manicure. For this, she has in store many tools and techniques. For example, now it’s not customary to sculpt decor on all ten nails, as it was before. This approach is today considered a sign of tastelessness and bad taste.
Pastel tones are distinguished by tenderness, and therefore the fashion has decided that it is important to focus on the texture of the gel varnishes used. For example, she suggests paying attention to matte varieties of coatings with a textile effect. Satin, velvet, velor and suede in pastel shades will look on the nails very gently and feminine.
In addition, the trend is coating with a small shimmer or a light mother-of-pearl veil.
In the new season, nail design in pastel colors has acquired its own characteristics. Now it is more sophisticated due to the fact that the number of accents and decor has been reduced. At the same time, the ring finger and middle finger became the best places for emphasis.If the design needs to be located on three nail plates, it is recommended to add the index finger nail to two adjacent nails.
In addition, it became necessary to devote more time to the accents themselves, from the deliberation of the theme of the print to its inlay. As for rhinestones and stones, they moved from placers and compositions to point arrangement and minimalism. By the way, exactly minimalism has become the basis for all the trends of the new season. This should be manifested both in the use of a minimum number of pastel shades in the design, and in the size of the decor and accent print.
High-quality artistic painting, through which it is possible to indicate that the design belongs to a particular style and season, has become especially appreciated. Today, professional nail service masters bring it to art, sometimes creating masterpiece nail designs. As for prints, it is desirable that they avoid cloning, which leads to a simplification of the design. The main thing was the drawing on one nail out of ten. Two or three others should only connect it with the basic background solution of manicure (pedicure).
Seasonal design has become another trend to strive for. Fashion suggests using different emotional colors of pastel shades, their different temperature and saturation for this. In addition, she draws attention to the possibility of conveying the desired mood and design through drawing and pattern. There are many proposals for this: stamping, stickers and slider design, stencils, and, of course, hand-painted.
It should be noted and a variety of powders and powders, which are the best suited for coating pastel colors, ennoble their texture. In the new season, we are invited to move away from mirror and holographic textures and pay attention to the mermaid effect and pearl veil. It is these varieties of rubbing will be in demand in the design more than the rest. In addition, dust with a satin effect matting the glossy surface of the hybrid coating is relevant. As for acrylic powder, the priority is its variety with a fine fraction and without excess shine.

Colors of design in pastel colors can be different. However, fashion offers for everyday set to resort to shades of nude and bodily tones. They look great in any image of a woman outside her style and status in society.

The focus is on delicate pinks and lilacs. Today they are considered one of the most relevant for manicure of a different style. The pale pink color of gel polish can be combined with gray pigment, such a contrast is considered stylish and effective. In addition, cream and bleached coral looks good in a casual way.

Of course, they cannot be called universal, because for a harmonious pouring into one or another image, they need support in the form of an accessory or a related shade in clothes. This is a mother-of-pearl mint, light purple, lavender, delicate turquoise, caramel tones.In addition, the color blue is very popular, and even its combination with pink today is considered to be a hit of the season.

Workshop on creating coverage
The methodology for creating any design will depend on its technique and purpose. At the same time, high-quality preparation of nails cannot be avoided, without which no design will look status. It is worthwhile to dwell in detail on how the coating of nails with gel polish is created. Consider the main points that help to perform high-quality application without bald spots and stains.
For the workflow you need to prepare:
- a drying lamp;
- orange stick
- scissors;
- pusher;
- manicure wipes;
- base and top;
- pigmented gel polishes;
- dehydrator;
- thin brush;
- cuticle remover;
- decor (optional).
Initially, the nails are treated with an antiseptic, after which a special substance is applied to the skin around the cuticle, which helps to freely and painlessly separate the cuticle. Hands are lowered into a bath of warm water for several minutes. After that, they are wiped and proceed to the formation of the edge, and then raising the cuticle and pterygium using the scapula scapula. The next step will be to rid the nail of the cuticle, for which they take manicure scissors and cut off all unnecessary.
Using an orange stick, they check the quality of cleaning out the excess skin. If she stayed somewhere, she would go upstairs.
In this case, it can be immediately trimmed. If you do not remove the pterygium or cuticle, this will cause the varnish to stain. To soothe the skin, a soothing oil can be applied to the treatment area.
After hygienic manicure it is necessary to remove the gloss from the nail plates using a buff. In this case, it is necessary to walk with a soft grinder throughout the plate and even its inaccessible places. After they take a brush and remove the sawdust. Its residues are cleaned with a napkin dipped in a dehydrator. Before applying the coating, you will have to take care of the adhesion and strengthening of the nails. If they are thin, a primer can be used.
Now you can do the sequential application of varnish materials. First, take the base and apply it in a thin layer so that it does not flow over the cuticle and side rollers. It is dried in a lamp, after which they begin to stain. Take a pigmented varnish for the background and apply it on top of the base. Since at this stage you need to make a straight line of the base, it is created with a thin brush.
Then the varnish coating is trimmed and dried in a lamp. Since a single layer of colored varnish is usually not enough to cover the nail plate, the application and drying operation in the lamp is repeated. Now you can start drawing or applying a sticker.
If this is a painting, a print is created with paints, then they are dried, sealed with a top with obligatory drying. After half a minute, the residual stickiness is removed from the top.
In the version with water stickers on a transparent background, a sticker will have to be applied under the sticker. After that, the water slider is moistened, removed from the substrate and fixed on an accent nail. It is sealed with a layer of base and then top. Each layer is dried, then with a napkin dipped in gel polish remover, quickly sticky residue is removed.
Professional Tips
Performing coverage at home, it will be useful to arm yourself with the recommendations of professional nail masters.
- So that the applied material is distributed evenly without bald spots, you need to use raw materials with good pigmentation.
- The coating will not have time to flow outside the plate if applied thinly and dried in the lamp at the same time only two nails.
- So that the varnish does not form a large thickness on the sides when spreading, the nail is turned down and several seconds later it is immediately placed in the lamp.
- So that the coating does not chip, you must not forget to walk along the end of the nail with each applied material.
- The varnish fades due to lack of power of the used drying lamp or due to a violation of its production technology.
