Emerald manicure: design secrets and stylish ideas

In the new season, the nail industry gives fashionistas a lot of fresh ideas. Among a wide variety of color schemes, emerald manicure will be especially popular. What you need to know in order for such a design on the nails to be not only beautiful, but also relevant to the fashion, we will consider in detail below.

This season, fickle fashion is more favorable than ever to the beautiful half of humanity. In addition to a variety of techniques for the emerald color of varnish, we are invited to independently determine the ideal form of nails for ourselves. More recently, short nails with a length as close to natural as possible were considered the best form. Today, in addition to short nails, elongated oval and almond-shaped are popular. The cut can be completely straight or rounded on the sides.

In addition to form, fashion trends believe that:

• it's time to get rid of false nails, although at the same time, building is important;
• you need to strive for lightness and minimalism, which should be reflected in the amount of decor used in the design;
• it is necessary to reduce the number of accents so that the manicure looks expressive;
• you need to select for the design of the coating with a different texture, thereby shading one another;
• it is important to pre-think the design, taking into account the case, the details of the wardrobe and accessories (rivalry between design and image is not allowed);
• accents should be appropriate for seasonality.

As for the focus of manicure on seasonality, today it is one of the key fashion trends. It is important to show belonging to a particular time of the year, which can be expressed even in the temperature of the used shade of the lacquer coating.The decoration technique, which can demonstrate, for example, the snowy texture, can show not just the time of year, but a specific month or holiday (design in the style of the “March cat”, decoration for Valentine's Day) does an excellent job of this.

Design principles may vary. However, whatever design is chosen, it is the emerald color that should dominate. Otherwise, it will seem that it is not the basis of design, but its complement.

Emerald color is considered one of the noblest shades of the color palette. You need to add companions to it appropriately so as not to change the status and simplify the emotional perception of color, and of the whole manicure as a whole. To facilitate the task of the layman, you can use the best combinations for emerald color. For example, it harmoniously looks along with:

• silver
• black
• white
• gold;

• milk;
• light beige cool;
• turquoise;
• mint;
• bronze;
• green.

Emerald color refers to the dark tones of the color palette. It stretches well and visually improves the nails, which is especially true for short nail plates. However, this color requires certain design restrictions, so as not to lose nobility and status.

As for the elements of decorating manicure, then they are all suitable for the emerald color, but with a reservation about the need for dosage.

• rhinestones;
• camifubuki;
• stamping;
• hand painted;
• powder;
• stickers;
• broths;
• modeling gel.

If we take into account the desire of fashion trends for minimalism and accentuation of the texture of the initial background of manicure, then It is worth paying attention to several nuances.

• Rhinestones should be the tiniest, and the place for them needs to be selected thoroughly. It can depict dew drops, glare in the eyes, mask the joint between two contrasting varnishes on one nail. They look great instead of dandelion umbrellas, like the handle of a moon manicure.

• Kamifubuki are unique in that they can successfully replace rhinestones with a flat shape. Selecting them in a related emerald color or gold and silver, you can add a special status to the design. However, for this you need to dose kamifubuki, arrange them, for example, as the middle of a flower, an imitation of the bud of a plant.

• Stamping is a worthy alternative to painting. In seconds, it allows you to create a professional image on the nail. On a contrasting emerald base, such a design will look stylish regardless of the selected pattern. Stamping is convenient, and often such patterns can be decorated with rhinestones.

• Hand drawing is not limited in subjects and methods of pattern execution. However, given the dark emerald background, you need to strive for light prints. A pattern in one color, for example, white or silver, will look great on such nails.

• Powder and broths allow you to diversify the design. To give the manicure uniqueness, it is enough to sprinkle the nail with powder or microbeads completely. If you want more elegant solutions, you can create patterns using a transparent gel or top.

• Stickers can be designated as another alternative to the drawings.With a suitably selected pattern, they add elegance and high status to the design. However, due to the dark main background, the slider should not be much. The best topics include geometry, ethnic motifs and lace.

• The gel is used for building, as well as fixing the sparkling pattern. It perfectly holds volumetric elements on the nail plate, and in addition, it can be used as a way to change the design. For example, it can be raindrops, which on a matte background will look stylish and incredibly impressive.

Today, to distinguish modern manicure from the design of last season, you can only look at one. It is distinguished not only by the perfect preparation of nails without injuring the skin. According to the new nuances of design, modern design:

• accentuates the cuticle area, highlighting it with a thin strip of silver or gold, foil or an arch of rhinestones;
• performed in the technique of negative space, in which part of the nail is not painted at all;
• He relies on the nobility and high cost of texture, and therefore resorts to textile matte gel varnishes;
• built on a game of contrasts matte and glossy textures;
• has no more than two accents on each hand;
• decorated with a stylish sparkling decor with a dot arrangement;
• It is executed with design in geometric subjects.

Emerald manicure can be done using different design techniques. Each of them will allow you to create a spectacular design that will attract the enthusiastic looks of others. The techniques are also unique in that they can be supplemented and combined. So, against the background of overflow of tones, you can perform a design with holes or a contour stroke of the nail plate.

The combination of matte varnish with veil accents decorated with glitter or small rhinestones also looks beautiful. This may be the design:

• classic (plain nails);
• matte (varnish matting using a special top);
• French (plain base + smile at the top);
• inverted jacket (plain background and outline of the cuticle area);
• lunar (design with a rounded hole at the base of the nail);
• gradient (stretching shades from dark to light);
• broken glass (with pieces of film glued to a monophonic base);
• veil (with an acrylic pattern on a translucent background);
• powdery (using acrylic powder).

Each technique is unique in its own way. For example, a matte design in emerald color looks stylish and without further decoration. French with a smooth stretch allows you to reveal all the versatility of emerald color. The design with the stroke of the lower edge of the nail in gold or silver gives a high status to the design. This option is considered trendy, especially if it involves a coating with the effect of matted textiles.

The veil technique is one of the most delicate, with a dark emerald varnish and black contrast it turns out to be especially feminine.
