Design techniques

The first application method is the gradient. The gradient from Latin is translated as “growing” or “growing” - this is how the result should be.The essence of the design of nails in this way is that one color should smoothly change into another. So, for the base, you should use a blue varnish of not too dark a shade, and the final color of the gradient should be black. It turns out that the blue color, gradually dimming, turns into black. The gradient on the nails can be applied in several ways: horizontal, vertical or at an angle.
The second option is a variation of French manicure. Instead of using white and transparent varnish as the main coatings, try applying blue and black shades. They can be swapped and experimented, but your French manicure will definitely not be classic or boring.
Another interesting way to design is drawing a picture. In this embodiment, the base can be a black coating on which a small image can be painted with blue varnish. It can be an undefined abstraction or a specific character.
Add complementary colors is another way to diversify your manicure. So, white or red color can become an excellent additional shade. You can try various forms and methods of their application: point, linear, wave-like and others.
To give brightness and radiance to your nails, you can use additional stylistic elements - beads, beads, rhinestones and so on. They can be arranged in several ways.
So, it will be interesting to create a so-called frame, that is, the location of the strass along the contour of your nail. But you can also use one massive bead, which is located in the center of the nail and will become the main focus of the composition.
For those who are not afraid of difficulties in applying varnish, nail service experts advise trying a game of textures. In addition to the fact that in manicure you can use glossy and matte coatings, you can also purchase a special tool that will create a velvety film on the nails.
For those who love the marine theme, there is an option for designing a manicure in this style. So, the base should be a manicure in a blue and white strip, and the final touch is an anchor drawn on top of such a base. Especially suitable for summer time and sea holidays.
