Brown manicure: design specifics and design tips

Brown can not be called the most popular color for manicure, because for many girls it seems too calm and even bland. Nevertheless, more and more masters are using this shade to create vivid and memorable images.

A brown manicure is actually suitable for any occasion, because this color goes well with other shades, looks very noble on the hands and allows you to experiment with various techniques and styles. The combination of brown with other color palettes, the use of sequins and stickers, the choice of patterns and patterns, as well as the length and shape of the nail plate are determined depending on what situation the coating is made for. For example, an office dress code implies the use of only the most discreet and minimal details, and for special occasions it is recommended to use several techniques at the same time, add more glitter and attention-grabbing elements.

For everyday wear, a pastel-colored matte, for example, sand or beige, or warm chocolate tones is most suitable. They will not stand out or catch the eye, but still harmoniously complete the image. By the way, it is precisely these shades (dark brown and beige) that perfectly combine with short nails - it looks neat and natural. A trendy moon manicure with a snow-white or transparent, unpainted lunula is also suitable for a business image., as well as a beige or chocolate base, complemented by a pair of unfinished or decorated with rhinestones arches.A beige jacket with a white glossy “smile” always looks appropriate, although in recent times the alternation of French and conventional manicure is considered much more fashionable. In this case, a pair of plates are covered with a brown tint, and on the rest it is used to design the tips.

It is important to add a few words about short nails. To make these fingers look the best, you have to try to combine dark and light shades, in no case use large-scale decorative elements and do not try to fill the plates with images. In this situation, in a manicure it is better to adhere to minimalism. In general, brown manicure, mainly beige, requires high-quality preliminary nail care. The cuticle will have to be processed very carefully, and the nail plate should also be sanded. Otherwise, the varnish will not be able to lie evenly, and all the flaws will be noticeable.

Since brown manicure allows you to experiment with different tones of the basic shade, the varnish is selected depending on the color type of the girl, a holistic image and the specific situation. For example, it can be a beige tone, dark brown chocolate, copper, light brown sand, caramel, mustard, coffee, ginger and many others. Decorative elements, by the way, are best selected depending on the length and shape of the nail plate.

If a girl does not want to be limited to one brown, then of course she can add other colors, but it is better only as small accenting elements. Alternatively, it can be rhinestones or sparkles. On a brown base, green, yellow, red and dark blue glitter will organically fit. The main shade will also successfully combine with the golden glitter, and the above combinations equally apply to rhinestones. However, lilac, turquoise, lilac and purple shades in this situation are completely inappropriate. A variety of shades of brown are traditionally used to create the gradient. The transition from dark to light is done either on all nails, or on one as an accent.

A brown background and an additional green tint are usually chosen to create floral ornaments., and bright colors cheerfully look in the summer. Gold or bronze glitter on a beige background will be the perfect solution for a holiday manicure. However, it is worth remembering that acid and pastel shades will be lost on a dark brown background, which means that it turns out that such a combination is very unsuccessful.

Brown varnish "gets along" well with all the basic shades, that is, white, black, beige and gray. Its combinations with a large pastel palette look very harmonious. You can even make a traditional French using brown and beige colors. By the way, the most successful bright “pairs” are considered yellow with brown and pink with brown.

A manicure based on the above color can be matte, with a pattern, with holes, with a gradient, a usual jacket or various decorative elements. A nail plate covered with a coffee shade and painted with light curls or abstract geometric compositions will look very stylish, but discreet. Another interesting option will be the images of drops, leaves or wavy lines made by beige varnish. If there is no desire or ability to draw, then it is quite possible to use stickers, because brown will be a great background for them. For example, in autumn, golden leaves, coffee beans or a silhouette of a red fox look great on nails.

Approximately the same images are relevant in winter, but in the cold season, snowflakes, a sweater ornament, and patterns on glass are added to them. In spring, flowers bloom on the nails of the nails and appear with twigs with leaves.In summer, as a rule, they simply paint vivid pictures of different subjects and moods on the nails, without forgetting about spring fashion. And besides, fantasy textured images are relevant at any time of the year. For example, it may be the bark of a tree, the skin of an animal or the surface of a gem.

Of course, it is worth mentioning a matte brown manicure., which looks very elegant and noble in both dark and light versions. As a rule, in this case, gold is chosen as an additional shade: metallized varnish or stickers. The combination of glossy and matte surfaces is memorable. Usually, the nails are coated with a matte varnish, and lines, dots, or complex stencil patterns are applied over the gloss.

Shiny stones form a semicircle on the edge of the nail or a hole is formed. You can create something abstract, even from them, or just stick one or two points to the corner of the nail plate. Sparkles, by the way, can also be used to design a French line, form a pattern or create abstract spots.

For more refined natures, rhinestones can be replaced with lace, and for bright and tending to be in the spotlight, glitter in combination with acrylic powder. Brown manicure is not complete without fashionable animal prints, stamping and gradient. By the way, if patterns are chosen instead of drawings, then it is better to apply them with white or black varnish. In the case when the nail plate is painted in dark brown, monograms, plant patterns or openwork ligature are drawn with the help of black. In a situation of light brown tones, white is used for the same purpose.

Sandy manicure, which is performed using special acrylic sand, is also in fashion now. Nails are covered with a powdery shade, immediately sprinkled with sand, and it takes on its color. Thus, a very unusual texture is formed. Many masters propose to make “snake eyes” for clients: paint most of the nails in a light brown shade, on the two remaining on each hand, first treat with foil to simulate reptile skin, and then draw the eyes themselves.

Festive nail design, as a rule, involves the use of sparkles or voluminous details. Also, the plate can be with rhinestones. For example, a brown manicure with golden accents, complemented by accessories from the same noble metal, is perfect for a festive event. For the base, a varnish with a shade of “dark chocolate” is selected, and the nails are coated with it twice. Without waiting for the top layer to dry, the plate is filled with gold glitter. Incidentally, such a manicure is best done on long nails of a beautiful shape.

A bright solemn image will arise if you use large gold sparkles in a manicure for only one ring finger. The remaining nails are covered with chocolate varnish, and only the ends of the plate are slightly shiny. In another embodiment, again, one nail is completely painted over, and on the other glitter is used quite abstractly, creating the effect of randomness and even some kind of wear.

Those girls whose outfit involves the use of silver jewelry can complement their manicure with this unusual shade. To do this, the nails will need to be covered with beige varnish, and on top of either draw or stick thin stripes or silver snowflakes. By the way, in this case, silver parts can be replaced with small rhinestones on a pair of fingers. From them it will turn out to fold a small crown, a flower or an ordinary placer. It is worth mentioning that if everything is done thoughtfully, then in a festive manicure it will turn out to successfully combine both rhinestones and sparkles.
