Purple manicure: color features and stylish ideas

Not a single new season is complete without manicure in purple tones. This color from year to year does not cease to amaze with the versatility and uniqueness of the texture, which allows women to create bright and spectacular bows. However, it is not enough to make a beautiful design: you need to create it expressive, which is possible if you carefully read the material in this article.

Violet color includes a lot of related tones. It is based on two strong colors: blue and red. When one of them prevails, the temperature of the coating becomes warm or cold. That's why some shades of varnish seem purple-burgundy, while others tend to blue. This also explains the emotional coloring of the pigment, its sensuality and calmness.

Violet color is associated with sensuality and passion. It is considered magical, but few people know that the tone is ambiguous due to the contradictions of the two colors. On the one hand, this is the choice of calm people, on the other hand, it is preferred by creative individuals who are characterized by strong emotionality. However, the same psychologists assure that this color, depending on its temperature, is an excellent color therapy for some age groups of women.

In general, dark shades are good for older women, light contrasts are more relevant for girls and teenagers. Not every shade of purple is suitable for women of all age categories, since from the point of view of psychology it is considered difficult. Therefore, you need to choose the right tone thoroughly.

The tone itself includes a wide range of tones from light to dark, almost black. Among the extensive color palette, it is worth noting the most popular purple tones that allow you to perform a spectacular manicure.

These include:

• pale purple;
• purple eggplant;
• plum;
• dark purple;
• indigo;
• saturated lilac;
• dark indigo;
• dark purple;
• amethyst,
• wisteria;
• bright purple;
• eggplant;
• heliotrope;
• purple;
• dark violet;
• blackberry
• lilac;
• periwinkle;
• lavender;
• violet;
• grape
• fuchsia;
• blackberry.

Choosing the desired color, you must take into account its perception. This is necessary in order not to burden the image as a whole. For example, light tones of violet are perceived lighter and more airy. They are more suitable for everyday bows, especially if they do not have a complex decor. Dark colors give royal luxury. Not all of them can be used for everyday design.

Changeable fashion with each new season opens for women new facets of manicure. Every time something changes in shape, preference is given to one or another length and technique. Not without changes, and this time.

For example, today:

• very straight nails need to be slightly rounded on the sides so that they look more natural;
• false nails are irrelevant, but extended ones are quite appropriate;
• the amygdala shape of the nails returns, but overly sharp and long butterfly variants are irrelevant;
• the number of accent nails is reduced (it is undesirable to decorate all fingernails with decor);
• it is important to highlight the cuticle area, using either gel polishes or acrylic paints, or small rhinestones;
• the use of negative space techniques and partial staining of nail plates is popular;

• you need to limit the amount of decor used, removing complex stucco molding and bulk crystals from the design;
• you can not use acid contrasts in the design for noble purple;
• the seasonality of the manicure matters (it is desirable that through hues or drawings it hinted at belonging to a certain time of the year);
• it is fashionable to mat the surface of used gel varnishes, giving them a velvety texture or the effect of various textiles (for example, satin or velvet);
• asymmetric design of accent nails and relevant geometric themes are in demand;
• drawings for design should not be massive (priority is simple compositions).

Today it is difficult to surprise someone with various manicure techniques. Most of them are an excellent base for further decoration of nails. However, this season fashion trends delight their fans with several new trends that will allow you to complete a design worthy of admiring glances from the outside. Note the most relevant methods of performing modern manicure, through which today manicure is performed in purple colors.

Such a manicure implies a uniform coloring of nails. As a rule, pigmented gel polish is applied to the nail plates twice, drying each thin layer under a special drying lamp.

Thin layers are needed so that the varnish does not flow over the side rollers and the skin in the cuticle area. Often, a classic design is used without decor, when the coating has an ultra-extraordinary texture.

You can create a manicure with a frosted surface in various ways. For example, the simplest of them is the use of a pigment with a matte texture. Those who do not think such a decision is correct can take a closer look at a more advanced technique. For it, use regular pigment with gloss.After the varnish is applied, the nail is decorated, it remains to cover it with a special top with a matte effect.

French violet color looks very beautiful and noble in the female image. Like it or not, this color obliges to certain bows, it is so elegant and luxurious that a woman has to choose clothes so that the image and manicure match each other in status.

The difference between the classic and the inverted jacket is the location of the so-called "smile" or the bow, indicating the boundary of the edge. If the jacket is in the cut zone, the base of the nail is accentuated in the reverse design. The handle is drawn in the cuticle area, and today it looks more like a thin strip, and sometimes even the outline of the nail. Inverted jacket today is considered one of the main trends of the season.

Lunar manicure in purple tones is a fairly stylish and beautiful design of nails. It is somewhat similar to an inverted service jacket, since it also accentuates the cuticle area or the base of the nail.

However, the difference is the form itself: in a lunar manicure it is a semicircular hole. Today it can be single, underlined by a thin arch or completely rounded upside down. Often, lunar manicures are created today using the negative space technique, in which the hole is not painted at all.

The ombre effect or the transition from one shade to another is created using several colors of coatings. The transition of related tones of purple color looks beautiful, allowing you to reveal its depth and versatility. No less harmonious is the combination of purple with pink or white.

Purple is the best color basis for the new veil technique. At its core, it is the creation of a translucent base and the application of a pattern on it in the tone of the main pigment. First, a translucent gel polish is mixed with a few drops of saturated purple color and the nails are covered with a new product. After that, they are painted with acrylic paint on the nail plates, and then the surface is covered with a layer of top material and dried using a special lamp.

This technique of performing manicure today is one of the trendy. It allows you to create a chic texture type of purple nails, imitating broken glass shimmering on the nails with all the colors of the rainbow. To achieve this effect, a special film is used, from which the protective layer is separated, and then cut into small pieces and glued to the pigmented purple gel polish. On top of the film pieces are sealed with two layers of finishing material.

To date, this technique of creating a velvety texture is among the top. This technique is rarely used for the entire fingers: more often it is used to accentuate manicure.

This design looks super modern and luxurious. In this case, the color of the polymer powder can be chosen not only related to the main purple, but even to match it.

By an unusual name is meant microscopic beads, which can have a different fraction of particles and a wide palette of shades.The principle of such a manicure is similar to the method of applying acrylic powder. At the same time, broths can be used, as well as powder, for partial decoration of nails. For example, you can create various relief patterns from them, which will make the manicure expressive without simplifying its design.

Creative design with letters or printed text is created using pieces of newspaper. They are impregnated with alcohol, after which they create prints on the pigment layer, and then fix the result with a layer of topcoat.

In general, this design looks unique and new.

It can not be said unequivocally that the violet color needs contrasting combinations, because in itself the color sometimes looks flawlessly in a manicure. However, if you supplement it with any shade, you need to approach this issue thoroughly, because a contradictory tone is not combined with every color of the main palette.

For example, they call the following colors harmonious companions for the purple base of manicure this season:

• white;
• silver gray;
• creamy or milky;
• light pistachio;
• light turquoise;
• citric;
• muted orange;
• turquoise;
• green;

• mustard;
• sand;
• coral;
• apple green;
• blue;
• beige;
• light green;
• mint;
• gray steel;
• the black.

White pigment softens the violet base, it gives tenderness to any design, introducing notes of freshness and spiritual purity into it. At the same time, white color can make more tender not only warm purple: it makes softer and blue cold tones of the original color. Do not try to combine purple with brown or red. Such a connection not only looks frightening, but it is also tasteless and depressing. But the mint-purple manicure will look not only fresh, but also optimistic.

Decoration is one of the principles of creating a manicure. Despite the fact that royal purple is not always necessary, a correctly selected decor can make a manicure in this tone not just beautiful, but chic. Today, manicure is decorated in several main ways.

They take various subjects as a basis, decorating accented fingernails with the chosen pattern. So that the manicure does not lose expressiveness, the number of accents is strictly dosed, and the drawing is made simple. Otherwise, it will distract, but not complement the stylish design. Subjects of drawings can be very diverse. Most often these are lace patterns, various curls, stripes, peas, nets, feathers, spikelets, twigs and leaves. For winter patterns, craftsmen choose patterns such as snowflakes of various shapes and sizes.

Stickers can be safely called an alternative to hand-drawn decor. They allow you to create a professional design of accent fingers with a minimum of labor. If at the same time to choose the right image, the manicure will cause the enthusiastic looks of others.

Stamping the pattern with dried pigmented gel polish allows you to create beautiful patterns on the nails in seconds. In this case, you can purchase templates with various themes (from simple geometry to elaborate lace or ethnic ornaments). This type of drawing will be monochrome, although this does not affect its attractiveness and eye-catching designs.Professionals also use stamping, choosing patterns in the desired subject for accent nails.

Japanese sequins have been known in the nail industry for more than one season, but even today they remain a stylish and modern technique for decorating purple manicure. The elements themselves can differ in only size, but also in shape. Today you can pick them up in the form of stars, a variety of hearts or even geometric shapes. However, if they were used before, generously supplying the surface of the nail plates, today such a decor can only be located on the part of the accent nail.
