A variety of design options for manicure gel polish

Modern man is used to living using the achievements of science and technology. The same can be said about manicure: in the fast pace of life, a woman needs to have a coating that is impeccable and durable. Therefore, we choose modern types of nail products and every season we expect fresh ideas on nail design from the fashion. Let's dwell on the variety of design options for manicure with gel polish and analyze fashion trends from A to Z.

Fashion is like a raging sea in which one wave is replaced by another. What was fashionable yesterday, today she presents as a sign of bad taste. However, be that as it may, femininity should remain in the first place, as fashion declares in the first place. Whatever design was chosen, it should be based on three pillars: expressiveness, the right selection of accents and purpose.

The best position for the accents was the fingernails of the ring finger. If the design on one arm should have more than one accent, it is preferable to choose the nail next to the ring finger of the middle finger.In this case, the picture should not be too voluminous and occupying the entire area of ​​two nail plates. Such an approach to design can make design difficult, which is completely unacceptable for modern manicure.

As for the choice of accents, the fashion suggests starting from seasonality and the purpose of manicure. For example, designs for different seasons may differ in shades of the color palette, their temperature and degree of saturation. As for the destination, here it is necessary to build on the characteristics of work and lifestyle in general. For example, for a set of a business woman, it is necessary to maintain a strict and restrained design, celebrities choose more non-standard solutions.

If this, for example, is an option for a podium show, it is simple, because the model needs a design that would suit different clothes. Design can be completely not amenable to logical explanation. For example, neither the bubble trend, nor the nails with hair and fur are comfortable, although such a design, of course, has its own army of fans. Nevertheless, fashion is trying to appeal to tenderness and femininity, although this concept is different for every woman, judging by the variety of manicure designs.

At the heart of all trends today is minimalism, no matter what it may be. And the print, and the decor, and the idea must adhere to some simplicity, due to which, as the great Giorgio Armani said, the design will claim to be elegant and status. And therefore, voluminous inlays, powerful stucco molding and piercing should be left behind the line of the last season and forget about them. Now it is important to show the beauty of the hands, their grooming, which is the basis for any status design. At the same time, no one cancels the creative approach to the design of manicure. But everything should be in moderation.

To date, several methods are known for performing manicure, each of which can adorn a woman's hands regardless of her position in society and age. All of them have their own characteristic differences, which determine the manner of performing manicure.

Classic solid look Nailing is a great way to design nails for a different style of woman. Based on the texture of the gel polish used, such a manicure can complement the office and business style.

French manicure popular since its inception. For 40 years now, he has been on the crest of a fashion wave, overgrown with fresh design ideas. For example, today his smile is not only arched: it can take the form of triangles superimposed on each other, resemble a heart, and be executed in the form of a diagonal. Fashionable smile in the form of a contour stroke, angle, wave, lightning. Fantastic smiles are super-practical (for example, lace, various animals, fruits, flowers, feathers).

Mirror French differs from the classic French manicure in that his smile is not located at the top in the place of nail growth, but at the bottom at the base (in the place of the cuticle). For the rest, it is similar to the main design: its handle exactly repeats the growing nail in shape. By the way, this trend is very popular today: the contour stroke from the base almost to the top edge allows you to give elegance not only to the nail bed, but also to the fingers themselves.

Outwardly moon design differs from the traditional and mirror jacket in that its hole is not a repetition of the edge. In the usual version, on the contrary, it is opposed to it in the form of a semicircular figure. Today it is fashionable to perform a lunar design with a secondary bow, using the technique of negative space. The layering effect is also fashionable, in which the effect of a growing nail plate is created, and on top of it is a hole pattern extending from the base of the nail bed.

Gradient - a design that will not go out of fashion for many more seasons. If earlier it was only vertical and horizontal, the new season offers women two fresh solutions. For example, stretching can be performed on one accent nail plate in the form of a geometric figure. At the same time, it can be both smooth and harsh: both design options are popular. You can also perform the ombre effect with stretching on several nails, taking as a basis a classic manicure and painting each nail in a related tone of the same color.

Veil - a design technique that has already changed today, which pleases her many fans. Its basis is a translucent background, often for a more expressive effect, it has a thin contour outline of the entire nail plate. If earlier on it to create the effect of kapron pantyhose, drawings in the color of the base were used, today translucent backgrounds are used for further decoration. For example, vertical stripes with a gradient are performed on it and sprinkled with acrylic powder, achieving a special effect.

"Broken glass" - This technique has already overgrown with an army of fans. It is based on the use of a special manicure film, which is cut into small pieces, and then glued to accent nails. The effect and brightness of the design will depend on the color of the gel polish: on light coatings, “glass” looks softer, it makes dark shades especially elegant, which changes the purpose of manicure.

Aquarium. Despite the fact that for this technique modeling gel is used to a greater extent, gel polish is also involved in the work. And therefore, the technique can be included in the number of basic techniques for working with gel polish. In this case, it is used more for decoration, because the foundation itself is created with a transparent modeling tool, which seal the created design. Depending on the designer's thoughts, they perform the background or hand-painted. Such nails look very impressive, but in most cases this technique is suitable for extended and long nails.

At the heart of the powder technique manicure laid shedding of dried gel polish with special acrylic powder. In fact, this is the same combined manicure, because the basis for the design can be a gradient, jacket or classic. However, the simple design of nails with acrylic sand is now considered rustic, and therefore such material is more often used today to add volume to the pattern applied by gel polish. Whether it is the texture of a knitted fabric or felt snowflake, such a manicure looks incredibly impressive.

Water design used to decorate accent nails combined manicure. The technique is quite interesting and needs preliminary drawing in a glass with cold water. It is in a glass that they create the desired pattern by dripping alternately contrasting gel polishes into the center of the previous drops. Upon reaching the desired number of drops, they take a toothpick and create a specific pattern with it, combining the contrasting shades of gel polish. After the finger with the applied protection is dipped into water, thereby transferring the coating to the nail plate.

Spreading gel polishes appeared on the fashion Olympus recently, but today they have already been tested by professionals in the field of nail art and are highly appreciated by studio masters. This design is based on the classics. On a monophonic basis, apply strips with a brush, which immediately begin to spread. When mixing colors, you can get chic overflows of tones. Design with varnish with spreading effect is created very quickly: it takes from a few seconds to a couple of minutes with painting.

As for the design itself or the design of accents, its theme will adhere to the appointment of manicure and seasonality.The second aspect is especially important, because design belonging to a particular time of the year is today considered one of the leading trends in nail fashion. If we consider drawings created by hand, then the most popular options today are lace and monograms. They allow us to point out the elegance and sophistication of the female set.

Ideas of drawings and patterns can be very diverse. For example, options with fruits or inscriptions look very nice. The space theme is also noteworthy, which can be created using various shades of gel polish using different colors of dark varnishes. Trendy logomania: logos on accent nails can stretch even the most boring manicure design.

Fashionable patterns are mehendi and ethnic ornaments. However, while beauty bloggers have not yet come to the conclusion that such prints do not need coloring for high status, then professional masters prefer monophonic ornaments that look impressive on any contrasting basis. Abstract patterns in the form of stains of varnish look beautiful. As for drawings in Indian themes, this theme can be used in design, regardless of its belonging to a particular time of the year. Since the theme of seasonality is very important for modern manicure, drawings on accent nails should correspond to a specific time of the year, and sometimes even to a month.

For summer design, floral themes can become the basis. Small flowers made in monochrome look perfect on accents. In addition, drawings of various insects are popular. Various butterflies, ladybugs, dragonflies, ants can, better than any other pattern, indicate the binding of manicure to the summer set. Prints such as juicy fruits, dream catchers, fluffy dandelions, dill and lily umbrellas, and irises are very popular. Actual topics of the sea coast, all kinds of shells, stains, flamingos.

If you carefully monitor the work of professionals in the field of nail art, you can find in their work a lot of fresh ideas. More recently, autumn leaves were a priority, which could decorate the accents of autumn manicure.

With the advent of winter, the tones of gel polish become calmer, the drawings should reflect the falling asleep of nature. Of course, it can be a variety of snowflakes, frosty patterns that mimic frozen windows. With prints you can beat the broken glass technique, imitating puddles frozen from the cold. You can draw frozen leaves. One of the drawings popular today is a knitted fabric. For the Christmas holidays, prints with deer and Scandinavian patterns, as well as painting of snowy fir branches, are perfect.

Awakening of nature can be marked by different patterns on the accent nails of spring manicure. These are melting icicles and the first birds soaring against the sky. In March, you can decorate the design with early flowers. Snowdrops on the background of the melting earth will look very beautiful and appropriate for this season.

Decorating manicure accents is a topic that needs special attention.For design today, different materials are used, and their spectrum is quite wide. Let's note some of the most popular tricks that professionals in the field of nail art use today.

Painting. This type of decor can only be done by professionals, because it requires accuracy and imagination. Having experience and artistic skills, you can draw various patterns on accented nails, spraying them with brilliance, decorating with broths (microbeads), and rhinestones. Use acrylic gel paints or gel polish for painting, which is mixed with the top for a more fluid consistency. For volumetric design drawings create a modeling tool. Covering with a watercolor design is today considered the most expensive.

Stamping. Stamping with the transfer of the pattern can significantly reduce the time for a clear and accurate drawing. To do this, we need plates with an engraved pattern, gel polish, a scraper and a roller, through which the print is transferred from the plate to the nail. The technique is quite convenient, although it is exacting to accuracy. Patterns can be painted, silvered, covered with gilding from above.

Rubbing. This polyester pollen will be a sought-after decorative element for a long time. In a matter of seconds, it is able to change the texture of even the most ordinary gel polish. Of all its varieties, the options “mermaid” and “pearl dust” are more popular today. Also of interest is the “May bug” type, which creates an original effect of the texture of the coating with overflows under the shell of an insect. Fashionable and powder with a gradient effect. The mirror is already irrelevant today.

Kamifubuki. Multicolored confetti today are more often used to decorate parts of the nail. They create a traditional or reverse jacket, they are used to highlight the cuticle. This flat decor often replaces rhinestones when you do not want to overload the design with volume. The shape of the mosaic is diverse: from circles and stars to geometric shapes and hearts.

Slider design. Today, sliders are used not only by beginners, but also by professionals, although in their case it is more likely to save time for manual painting due to late customers. However, it was the professionals who came up with the technique of masking the slider for hand-painted.

Powder. It is difficult not to get lost in the rich assortment of acrylic powders for manicure. It is distinguished by a fraction of particles, the presence or absence of nacre, can create not only an unusual background, but also a voluminous pattern. For example, this powder can become the basis for creating knitted patterns for the texture of a sweater. She can be sprinkled with a gel-applied drawing, sand can be added volume with snowflakes, curls, monograms.

Rhinestones and stones. The trend of decorating manicure accents with a variety of stones and sparkling decor has changed a bit today. Now it’s important not to overdo it with the amount of gloss, because the more it is, the cheaper the design becomes. Yet inlaid with opals and Swarovski crystals will be appropriate for modern design. However, the arrangement of rhinestones should be point-like, that is how they will look organically in the design.

Transfer foil. This material is relatively fresh, it is a foil tape with a pattern applied to it. Material is transported by means of a special adhesive for white foil, which becomes transparent when it dries. The decor is convenient and easy to use, has a lot of thematic patterns, and therefore you can choose the option even for the most demanding woman in her preferences.

Stickers. This decor is often used by professional craftsmen, it is easy to use and needs a dry position for reliable fixation. As a rule, such pictures have a small volume, and therefore, after fixing them, you have to overlap with several layers of the finish.

Stencils. The range includes stencils for creating a picture and templates for a jacket, which you can use to design a smile and holes. In addition, these same strips are suitable for working with geometric designs. Like disposable stencils with patterns, they also need to be glued to the nail. Using stencils is easy, they are glued with an adhesive layer to the coating, a contrast coating is applied on top of them, then the templates are immediately removed.

Dots It is a tool with a special ball nozzle. The size of the ball may vary, which is convenient when performing a bitmap. Dots can create a smile of a regular or inverted jacket, with it draw hearts, draw soft lines. Patterns of peas are an alternative to kamifubuki, they look beautiful and fresh.

As for color solutions, the varnish used can be both bright and calm. The focus is mint, cherry, emerald and turquoise. In addition, this season, fashion offers to turn to rich and dark colors: Marsala, wine, and eggplant shades are today favorites of fashion trends. All green tones are relevant, it is fashionable to paint nails with shades of pistachio and juicy mint-green tones.

This season, fashion is favorable to gold and silver tones, and therefore designs with gold or silver are considered one of the most trendy in the women's set. For example, such paints can be added to black, white, emerald tones, as well as Marsala, peach and eggplant.

You can not discount pink tones. It is necessarily soft pink, pinkish-lilac, raspberry pink shades and fuchsia. At the same time, the mega-popular contrast of pink is gray or silver. A combination of pink and blue has become a hit trend. Of the warm colors of the palette, bright orange, peach, cream, dark red, juicy yellow tones are relevant. The texture of the varnish can be either matte or glossy, pearlescent, jelly, temperature, chameleon, magnetic.

Design is different for design, fashion clearly indicates the appropriateness of a particular design in a particular case. Therefore, it is worth getting acquainted with the nuances that are important to rely on in order to choose the right option.

Beautiful manicure is a design that does not look defiant and aggressive, but, on the contrary, breathes femininity and status. In order not to lower it, it is worth immediately removing sharp nails from the priority list. Of course, they can look organically in the bow of the representative of the youth subculture of the protest plan. However, this is an option at a time, and large nails look not as a decoration of the image, but frighteningly.

Given that three different types of nails are in fashion (rounded square, oval and almond-shaped), choosing the best option for yourself will not be difficult. For the oval shape, there are no prohibitions in design; it is considered universal. The same can be said today about rounded square nails: they are subject to any technique, any decor and print. As for the amygdala, if anything complicates them, it is the choice of the width and shape of the smile.

The length of the nails today matters, because it is from this that you need to build on when choosing one or another design. In order not to get confused and not complicate the design, you need to adhere to the rule: the shorter the length, the simpler the design. It is important to consider that even the color of the varnish looks different at different lengths.

Light shades are best used for manicure of long nails, dark tones of varnish will look better on short plates.If you paint short nails with light or, say, pearl varnish, this will visually shorten them, and even make them flatter. In order not to suffer with the choice of varnish color and the complexity of the design, the fashion proposes to turn to the golden mean, taking the length of the overgrown edge of 5-7 mm as an ideal.

As for the technique, then for short nails you should not do lunar manicure, reverse or classic French. There is not enough space for stretching the gradient in them. However, if the nail bed is elongated by nature, and the length of the overgrown edge is short, these techniques will not be undesirable. It is more difficult for long nails to decide on the technique, because in this case attention will be attracted not so much by the design as the length of the plates.

Therefore, it is better to dwell on the classics, French, moonlight manicure or ombre, than to try to put it all at once into a combined manicure. Even the usual monophonic coating here will look more elegant than the colorful and voluminous design.

In order for the set to fit into the framework of the dress code or everyday dress, you should start from two rules: restraint and conciseness. However, this does not mean that you need to deny yourself the choice of a beautiful varnish. Not at all: it can and should be special. In this case, you can use even one color, but a different texture. Matte velvety manicure without a picture, but with an accent made by rubbing, can become super-beautiful.

For example, you can make the main background in the form of a jacket with matte varnish and satin texture, and make a smile glossy. Alternatively, lace accented with gloss on an accent nail can become the accent of such a design.

The coating for everyday manicure should fit the details of the wardrobe or even accessories. So nails will always look appropriate in the set. However, no complicated drawings are needed here. It is better to complete only two accents than to cover all fingers with decor. Layering of patterns and decorative elements competing among themselves are not needed here (for example, kamifubuki are not always combined with rhinestones).

Festive or elegant design is different from everyday. This is expressed in the use of specific topics. For example, today it is customary to use different lace for a wedding, decorating accented fingernails with such a pattern. Given that in the image of the bride jewelry is always present, the decor is selected with emphasis on them. Everything should look holistically and harmoniously.

Gloss lacquer is suitable for elegant wedding design, acrylic powder is good, and rubbing will also look good. Particularly gently on the white coating looks pearl dust, which changes its effect depending on the time of rubbing the decorative material. The colors of such a manicure can be bleached, mint, caramel, pinkish. Volumetric monograms created on accents of white acrylic powder will look beautiful in such a manicure.

Options for a birthday can vary in brightness and creativity. On this day, you can afford anything, but taking into account age and dress. To exclude even a hint of boredom, the color of the varnish should not exactly match the shade of the dress. However, if it is related, it will adorn the female set. On this day, you can perform any experiments with gold or silver, rubbed or acrylic powder.

As for the drawings, here each lady will choose her own option. The only thing that is undesirable is skulls, skeletons, zombies and sliders with veiled pornographic overtones. This design is terrible, it spoils the whole impression of his mistress. With regards to form, there may be moderately creative options. But at the same time, nothing should cling to any objects, so as not to tear off the nails with the design.

For a family holiday, calmer decisions are good. The decoration can be done in gentle pastel shades, complemented by discreet decor. A classic design with a varnish that differs in a velvety texture can decorate the appearance of the light. It is in the evening images that there is a place for rhinestones and other inlays, but if there are a lot of them, you can pass for a simpleton, greedy for everything brilliant.

During the holidays, you can afford the most daring nail design options. This can be manifested both in the choice of saturated varnish, and in the thematic figure. For example, going to the sea, you can please yourself with prints in the spirit of the sea coast. Even one painted or glued shell can change the perception of design and cheer up. What can I say about the design with sequins, which can decorate even the usual classics.

A megapopular design option will be stained glass design. You can use it for accents, because coatings of this type are able to give the base a depth effect. It is possible to mix stained glass gel polish with glitter, it is able to make even the gradient unique. In this case, the tool is quite economical, because the stained glass material is applied in a very thin layer.

If a woman has a vacation in winter, you can give free rein to imagination and draw Christmas toys on the nails. This is a great opportunity to cheer yourself up and feel the atmosphere of the upcoming holiday. In addition, you can use flock powder, which is better than other nail materials can convey the texture of Christmas socks and felt toys. She can distinguish and spruce branches on the accent nails of a manicure.

In autumn you can treat yourself to a fruit and berry design. For example, you can decorate the accents with the painting of juicy berries. You can move away from familiar patterns and add volume to individual elements. Say, it is berries that can become voluminous due to a transparent modeling gel or top mixed with gel paint.

Space theme is also good for holidays. At the same time, it can be performed as a slider design, and water technology. Someone uses a magnetic type coating to give the effect of volume. Fans of marshmallow manicure can please themselves with a design with ice cream, kittens, sweets, as well as teddy bears. There is a place for glitter and bright stickers.
