The violet color has many shades - dark, light, close to blue or almost burgundy. And among them you can always find one that suits you personally. One of the most delicate shades has recently been announced the color of the year according to Pantone, an American color agency. This ultraviolet shade (Ultra Violet, 18-3838) is distinguished by discreetness, goes well with white and can even be suitable for office manicure.
Classic technique
The most elementary version of manicure - monophonic with a full coating of the nail plate can be varied by painting some nails with purple varnish and others with white. If this option seems too boring, it can be varied with rhinestones, stickers and other special decorative elements.
You can also make drawings in the form of white flowers on a lilac background or, conversely, purple flowers on a white background. The latter option, of course, is easier to execute. And it’s enough to buy the corresponding stickers on the nails - they will significantly save time and simplify the process if you do manicure yourself.
You can also draw geometric patterns, circles, leopard or tiger patterns.
The latter in purple and white will look especially unusual.
And you can also add other colors, such as gold polish or gold loose sparkles. A combination of violet varnish with white craquelure or the effect of “cat's eye” will be fashionable and unusual.
French option
A traditional French manicure is a nail plate coated with a transparent varnish and a white strip along the edge. He gained popularity primarily for his simplicity, versatility and relevance with any, even the most rigorous dress code.But since the advent of French manicure, designers have created a huge number of peculiar variations.
With a purple base, French manicure loses its simplicity and inconspicuousness., since this color, even in the lightest version, remains very noticeable. However, it turns out to be very original. In addition, the white stripe gives a tangible color contrast, adding to the nail design's spectacular effect.
As an experiment, you can also make a white strip not exactly along the edge of the nail plate, but at an angle, or even transfer it to the base of the cuticle.
Ombre
Ombre is a very popular technique for applying varnish. Outwardly, the result of this technique is similar to drawing with watercolor paints. Which, at first glance, seems unusual, because nail polishes have a completely different consistency than honey watercolor.
However, such a manicure is done with ordinary varnishes or gel varnishes using a sponge or similar means. And in the case of a combination of purple and white, the final version will be very spectacular. So much so that he will not need any additional jewelry, or even superfluous.
Coating hues and color types
Choosing the color of the varnish, do not forget that you also have skin of a certain shade and tone on your hands. And in the case of manicure, the color type will also play a role. Maybe not as significant as makeup, hair color and clothing, but it is also worth taking into account. Moreover, we usually do manicure as part of a complete image.
There are only 12 color types and they are all divided into 4 groups of the season - winter, spring, summer and autumn. As mentioned above, among the violet shades there are very different ones - you can always find the right one for your color.
