In the desire of nail fashion for naturalness, beige manicure on short nails gained great popularity. It is convenient in everyday life, does not cling to anything and allows you to adequately complete the female bow, depending on the purpose of the image. Given its relevance, it is worthwhile to become more familiar with the areas through which you can make a manicure not only fashionable, but also stylish.
Nuances of short length
Nails with a short overgrown edge are less prone to brittleness. But due to the fact that the nail bed is not always elongated by nature, insufficient length can accentuate the disadvantages of the natural form. It looks ugly, and needs visual balance. Considering that beige belongs to the light colors of the palette, this is not so simple. Often you have to bet on a shade of beige and choose the right print or decor.
The shape can be corrected if the walls of the nail plates are not parallel. For this, they are simply not painted over, creating a visual illusion of alignment. And also, to balance, choose the right edge of the saw, which ideally should repeat the shape of the hole of the nail. If the nails are round and too short, you will have to grow the length here, since it will not work in a different way to introduce aesthetics.
Color combinations and purpose
Depending on the chosen shade of beige varnish, its temperature and degree of saturation, this color can be combined with different contrasts. It is important to consider that the main beige will acquire a different emotional color.When choosing, it is worth considering the purpose of the manicure and the style for which it is performed. For example, light contrasts are preferred for everyday onions (white, ivory, pearls, milk).
In addition to white, you can accent several nails of beige manicure with black varnish or gel. He has no emotional coloring, and therefore will not limit the female image in the selection of accessories and jewelry. In this case, the black companion should not dominate. If the manicure may not fit into the strict framework of the dress code, vivid combinations are possible, which include mixes of beige with red, orange, deep green, wine, burgundy, purple, marsala.
Considering that today a golden or silver spraying is welcomed, you can combine beige gel polish with them. If you do it right, gold or silver will look quite harmonious not only in the evening, but also in the everyday set. Other harmonious duets include combinations of beige varnish with blue, plum, beetroot. These dark colors today will probably be the best contrasts for the beige base.
How to achieve balance?
Beige manicure should breathe lightness and air. These are the basic rules that the nail fashion of the new season suggests addressing. With regard to beige gel polish and a short length of nails, it is worth considering that to increase the status you will have to:
- select the cuticle area with arches or asymmetric lines only if the nail bed is elongated by nature;
- use exclusively small decorative elements for inlaying (large ones will visually increase the perception of manicure);
- Do not overload the decor plate, reducing the number of accents;
- to exclude the moon manicure from the list of techniques if the shape of the nails is round and does not stretch to an oval;
- Do not paint over the side walls and file the overgrown edge at an angle in the absence of expansion of the side walls and their arched shape;
- use thin vertical lines, excluding asymmetry;
- use elongated figures in the design;
- apply the negative space technique, creating the effect of lengthening due to unpainted sections in the form of holes;
- Reduce the size of the desired prints and simplify the images themselves.
Fashion prints
Today, the link to the seasonality of drawings and their subjects is important. In this case, often a manicure shows not only a specific season, but even a specific month or even a public holiday. If it’s summer, you can apply floral and plant themes, for autumn golden and colorful leaves are good. In winter, you can use the stylization technique, taking as a basis contour drawings or even geometry. In spring, you can resort to images of early birds and the first flowers.
If we talk about the holidays, for Valentine's Day you can decorate your nails with wine hearts, bunnies, inscriptions, for the New Year holidays - prints with champagne, New Year's toys, candles, greetings. In general, if we consider fashionable prints, then today it is geometry and ethnic ornaments. At the same time, the second can be created even with ordinary points, performing the desired pattern with dots with different nozzle sizes.
Decor Options
As for decorating techniques, kamifubuki, glitter, gels, rubs, acrylic sugar, hand-painted, slider design and stamping are perfect for beige manicure. If we consider stamping as the main design tool, it is important to choose plates with a small engraved print., since a large visually makes short nails unprepossessing. At the same time, small lace or monograms on the edges of the nails, imitating a kind of french, will look quite harmonious at a short length.
Rubbing is a fine-grained polyester dust with different effects. She is able not only to ennoble the beige basis of design, but also to decorate it in an unusual way.For example, it is satin, matting, giving the surface of weightless mother of pearl, the type of metal, mirror or holography. As for the sparkles, you need to use this decor correctly, because it expands the nail plate, and this is not always necessary with a short length.
Slider design is a real find for manicure. In minutes, it allows you to decorate the accent nails of a manicure with basic beige varnish. In order not to lose the effect of expressiveness, with a short length it is worth using application-type stickers on a transparent substrate. They are smaller and look neater.
Kamifubuki, like the design with rhinestones, should be dosed for a short length and beige base. At the same time, it is undesirable to use a large set of multi-colored confetti, as they will instantly refer to the New Year's decor. Instead of the ombre effect, which is possible on a short length with an elongated nail plate, it is worthwhile to dot the decor. For example, they can lay out a vertical on the contrast strip of the accent nail.
Design ideas
Choosing a design for a beige manicure, one can proceed from examples of professionals. This will allow you to understand how to achieve expressiveness. At the same time, the finished example is easier to adjust to your preferences, choosing your decor or a shade of contrasting varnish. You can take a combination of classics with:
- french usual or inverted type;
- moon manicure;
- gradient and veil;
- broken glass.
You can paint all the nails with one color using a satin texture coating and depict french dots on accent nails with dots of different sizes. By the same principle, a dot pattern can be applied in the place of the holes. When creating such a design, it is important to consider that the total number of accents should not exceed three or four. Otherwise, the design risks becoming colorful and boring.
You can paint your nails with beige varnish, and for accents choose a veil technique. On a translucent basis of contrast, you can draw monograms or lace. To make them look voluminous, you can do the drawing with the top, then sprinkle it with acrylic powder. Such a design will look beautiful and status. However, only if the emphasis will not clone each other, and there will be no more than three.
To create a design with a sputtering of gold or silver, it is advisable to make black shades for glitter. After that, silver or gold is drawn on it, and the design is sealed with a top. Such a design will look fresh and expensive. Glitter can be used as holes or thin lines. At the same time, it will look good as the contours of the drawing. They can also paint on the slider design, draw the middle of the flowers, spray monograms and lace.
As for the stained glass variants of the decoration in the form of children's coloring, this is irrelevant. Well, if you want to use the stained glass theme, you need to do it correctly, using a dark base and shimmer coating. This is how you can create a stone effect on accent design nails in beige tones. For this, it is also worth using magnetic type coatings.
You can draw extended triangles on accent nails, stretching them from the base of the nail to its upper edge. This technique allows you to visually increase the small length of the nails. As for nails with non-parallel side walls, you can visually get rid of this drawback by drawing a contour rectangle in a contrasting color. One line will be enough so that the eye does not cling to the uneven sides of the natural form.
