Features
Contrary to popular belief, gentle manicure can not be called boring. On the contrary, he says that his owner has a great sense of style. It only emphasizes the natural beauty, and does not take all the attention to itself.
Do not think that a calm and gentle manicure can only be in plain beige tones. There are a lot of variations of its performance. Let's try to present the most relevant and stylish examples.
Fashionable shades
To begin with, we will deal with those shades in which it is preferable to do a gentle manicure.
- Nude tones. The most popular version of a soft manicure. Colors repeat the natural palette. At the same time, the hands look very well-groomed.
Here you can play with color saturation. It can be either completely transparent or quite dense.
- Peach tones. The velvety juicy fruit gave us a whole range of shades called peach. These tones are moderately bright, but very tender. Solid peach manicure is more suitable for summer or spring. To a greater extent, this color is suitable for young beauties, as it embodies youth and freshness.
- Pink color. There are a great many shades of this color. In the variant with delicate manicure, muted pale pink tones (tea rose, pearl pink) are more acceptable. Choosing a particular shade, you can do pink manicure at least every day, but at the same time be different all the time.
- Delicate blue. Sky blue tone is the embodiment of tenderness in all its manifestation.Many are afraid of this unusual shade, since it makes special demands on clothes. In fact, if you adhere to the standard office palette (gray, white, blue, navy blue, black), then it is ideal for you.
- Purple. Romantic color, from which literally blows in the spring and blooming gardens. It will suit both young fashionistas and strict ladies. Ideal for spring manicure. Due to the versatility of the tone, you will not need to specially choose the style and color of the wardrobe for it.
Design
Do not think that a calm manicure can only be monophonic, without any decorative elements. Restraint and minimalism in this case will be most welcome. They will help to show you their individuality and at the same time create a gentle image of a real lady.
- Geometry. Despite its rigor and extravagance, geometry can very well be used to create a delicate image. Do not choose large ornaments. Limit yourself to the design of one fingernail on your hand, leave the rest in a plain design. The drawing should be done in thin lines and not be bulky.
- Matt option. Matte nail design looks very elegant. The lack of brilliance and muted tones make the image extremely interesting. This is a great alternative to the familiar gloss.
The palette of colors for creating a matte manicure is very diverse. It can be any of the shades listed above or your own version.
- Baby Boomer. The allocation of this version of manicure in a separate form has occurred relatively recently. It represents a smooth transition from beige to white. Can be used and other shades of nude scale. In fact, this is the same gradient, but it got its own name because of its huge popularity.
- Delicate drawings. You can emphasize your femininity with unobtrusive drawings. Floral motifs are best suited for this: thin stems with buds, delicate tulips and elegant twigs. Just a couple of strokes on one or two nails will make the manicure unique and add grace.
- Kamifubuki. What can be more romantic and tender than the glare of the sun on your fingernail? This effect can be achieved by using small shiny round circles called kamifubuki. They can be selected to match the varnish, then the effect will be very natural, and they will not stand out against the general background. Or you can play with color, because the calm tone of the base allows you to do this.
- Waterway. These are delicate blurry drawings, as if made in watercolor technique. Creating such a masterpiece yourself is quite difficult. But for experienced craftsmen it will not be difficult.
Which design to choose depends on your preference. It can be floral motifs, and stains. If you use this design option on all nails, then the image will turn out bright and overloaded. Therefore, limit yourself to one, maximum two nails.
- Rhinestones. You can create a light shine on your nails with the help of these beautiful pebbles. The main rule is a sense of proportion. When creating a gentle manicure, it is enough to use them as accents on one of the fingers or attach one pebble to each nail.
- French. A classic version of manicure that has not lost its relevance for many years. Made in natural tones, it will certainly relate to the option of a calm, gentle manicure. Its charm is that it is suitable for both a wedding dress and an office suit.
- Unobtrusive stains. Do not cover them with all your fingers. Refinement and sophistication will give tender stains on one of the fingers. In this case, the shades should not be radically contrasting.
- Lace. This lightweight material looks great not only on garments, but also on fingers. There are several techniques for performing it.
It can be a thin brush, then the work will be quite painstaking and difficult. And you can use ready-made stickers. They will not betray themselves and will look beautiful and natural.
