Beautiful nails have become an integral part of the image of every girl. They began to pay attention to nail design no less than makeup, hair styling or selection of clothes. Often, it is manicure that can dictate the mood of the entire image.
Matte nail design is a relatively recent trend in the fashion world. With deafening popularity, matte varnishes flooded the store shelves and shelves in the houses of fashionistas. Gradually, glossy varnishes give way to matte ones, because with them there is much more room for a fantasy flight.
Features
The palette of matte shades is not very bright in itself. No matter how saturated the color, it will still be muted due to the structure of the varnish. Therefore, dark matte manicure has recently become popular.
Matte coatings can be achieved in various ways.
- The first and most common is the application of matte varnish.
- The second option is to make matte from glossy varnish with the help of a buff (a special nail file with different degrees of granularity). They need to remove the first layer from a glossy varnish and dry in a lamp.
- The third method is using acrylic powder. It is necessary to gently polish the top coat of varnish until it has hardened, then completely dry it with a lamp.
Ideas for short and long nails
Short nails are a trend that will not disappear after a while. Over the past decades, short nails have been fighting for the palm with long artificial nails. But not all forms of long nails have a matte finish, while for short nails this is the best option.
It is worth noting that long nails visually lengthen the fingers, and a properly selected manicure harmoniously completes the entire image.
Consider some design options for a dark matte manicure.
- Drawings and patterns. The geometry of the drawings will be a great option to emphasize the sophistication of manicure. Rhombuses, triangles, simple stripes, curved dashed lines are now a must-have. The romance of the image can be beaten with the help of ornate spirals or wavy stripes.
- The original solution will be application on a matte surface. Wet droplets. The base of the manicure is plain, without any patterns, preferably a more saturated, deep color. On the nails you need to distribute a small amount of glossy top and dry in a lamp.
- French. Classic in manicure with both glossy and matte varnish. An excellent option may be a jacket using matte and glossy varnish at the same time. The nail itself will be matte, and the “smile” will be painted with a glossy finish.
- Truly a great option would be voluminous matte patterns. Here you can choose and mix anything. For example, take glossy varnish as a basis, and apply a matte pattern, or vice versa. So the picture will be beautifully emphasized, playfully shimmer on the nails and look very unusual.
- Rhinestones. These small bright crystals with their appearance can completely transform the image from simple everyday to expensive evening.
It is preferable to choose one or two fingers on the hands to highlight them with rhinestones. You can make a whole composition of rhinestones or apply them in a chaotic manner.
In the design with artificially extended nails, the nails of the “ballerina” shape have recently become popular - this is the union of the amygdala and square shape. She gathered a large number of fans of different ages, because she beautifully emphasizes her hands, giving them grace and grace, lengthens and stretches her nails, making them thinner.
Drawings on long nails look spectacular, unusual, especially if the base is dark, and not the usual light or plain bright. But this should not be scary - with a dark base, you can also achieve a beautiful manicure.
For example, space is an interesting and unusual design. It can be performed on all nails or emphasized on selective fingers. Here, preference will be given to black as a basis, and as a fill in the picture, you should choose deep blue, cyan, violet, lilac, muted pink and silver shades with which the stars will be drawn.
Dark manicure is suitable for creating a festive Halloween atmosphere. On the nails, it will be possible to draw pumpkins, ghosts or skeletons, making a gallery of paintings on each finger.
Another favorite in the design of matte manicure are spraying and rubbing. This is a simple process, but a very laborious process, but the result will be excellent.
If you do a manicure with a spray, then you can do it like a french coat, paint your entire nail in a matte black color, and fill the “smile” with sparkles of silver or gold color.
