Refined ideas for creating an elegant manicure

The desire of a woman to be irresistible is quite natural. I want the image to feel not only harmony, but also present elegance. In the pursuit of it, we sometimes forget that it implies minimalism and restraint. A particularly important addition to the image is the right manicure. Let's look at what factors determine elegance, how to achieve it, taking as a basis one or another nail design technique.

Elegance does not shout about itself, does not impose attention on aggressiveness. And therefore, it is better not to use acid and harsh tones of varnish for manicure. It is important that the nails complement the image, giving it a high status, and to make it poisonous paints is unrealistic. It is necessary to think about the length of the nails: their long length can in no way fit into the bow of an elegant woman. Ideally, it can be elongated, but not too much. Small nails emphasize refinement better than nails of awesome length and shape. In addition, the average length is more democratic for choosing the color of the varnish, which can not be said about long nails.

The elegance of manicure must take into account some rules. For example, in addition to eliminating flashy tones:

• minimal use of jewelry is appreciated;
• a prerequisite should be dosing accents;
• cloned drawings, especially large ones, are undesirable;
• Use in design better delicate shades;
• when combining contrasting colors, no more than three tones should be used;

• it is advisable to minimize the amount of gloss on the nails;
• the emphasis in design is on one thing (the texture of varnish, drawing, rhinestones);
• You cannot use several types of decor for decoration at once;
• accents on two adjacent nails should differ in the amount of space occupied (one main, second minor).

However, here everything is not so simple: light companions always bring lightness to the design, but dark ones can even age besides weighting. It is advisable to avoid such contrasts. Therefore, the choice of companions must be treated thoroughly. Select them to match the accessory or specific details of the wardrobe.

An ideal basis for creating an elegant manicure is the classic nail color in one color. If a matte gel polish with a velvety texture is used, such a manicure may not need a different decor at all. In addition, the classic allows the decoration of accent nails. To demonstrate sophistication, one accent that can be performed on the ring finger is enough.

The classic can look great if you take the game of contrast contrast matte and glossy texture. For example, you can paint all nails with one color using a matte finish, and on the accent nail of each hand draw glossy lace with varnish of the same shade. Such a design will look beautiful and elegant.

An excellent solution for creating an elegant look is a jacket in any of its varieties. If you do a classic manicure with a traditional smile, it is enough to completely paint one nail, draw lace on it in the color of a smile. You can’t decorate all nails with a fantasy smile: it is better to use, for example, lace, but only for accents. Drawings need to be selected correctly: often a monochrome looks better on a French jacket than stained glass pictures painted with several contrasting tones.

Speaking about the manner of execution, it is worth mentioning that professional drawing can give elegance to manicure. If there are no drawing skills, it is better to use ready-made stickers or a slider design to decorate the accent. One of the best techniques to show the beauty of manicure is the gradient. For an elegant look it is better to make it in the form of a smooth stretch, using related tones of the same color.

The veil technique of manicure looks super beautiful in a female image. To make it look sophisticated and elegant, it is better to combine it with a classic manicure, taking as a basis a matte translucent background and decorating it with a simple pattern. Whether or not to outline the outline, in this case, each master will determine for himself, because sometimes it is not needed at all.

As for the beaten flow technique, it will look good in the image of an elegant woman, if you use a manicure film on top of light tones of gel polish. On dark, it creates a disco effect, it looks bright and catchy. For light shades, it is used on one finger, softening the effect with a classic design or jacket. In this case, it is better to lay out pieces of film in the form of a specific figure, leaving some part of the nail unused for decoration.

Not every manicure can become elegant. However, in general, it is not limited to any decor. But, as Italian couturier Giorgio Armani said, three principles are important for the success formula: elegance, comfort and nothing more.Everything should be like from the catwalk, but adapted for real life. The manicure should be such that in addition to the everyday look, he could decorate the evening outfit.

This is all that needs to be taken into account when performing this or that design. Accent nail can be decorated:

• hand-made pattern (mehendi, dotted, lace);
• ready-made stamping stamp (white, silver, gray);
• slider design (preferred topics are lace, monograms, geometry);
• self-adhesive sticker (ideal option is the logo of the Fashion House);

• manicure foil (with adhesive tape for geometric design and ribbon for decorating the entire surface of the accent);
• acrylic sand to give volume (in color or contrast of one of the used tones);
• rubbed in (mainly pearl dust or a mermaid).

An elegant manicure can become if performed in a shade akin to a certain wardrobe item. It is better to choose light tones of the coating. If you want to use it for decoration, do not abuse it: it will look more expressively on one or two nails than rather than rub it into all ten. Moreover, if you rub the powder less, it will give an easier result. When you need to use the rub for further nail design, it can be combined with acrylic sugar. At the same time, it is desirable to draw simple drawings, sprinkling them with powder, but excessive complexity can spoil the overall design. So, the best solution would be one technique, taken as a basis, and one emphasis on each hand. If you want more emphasis, you can add two more.

It is better to design accents on two adjacent fingers: ring and middle. In this case, the motives of the picture may be different, but the theme should be unified. If the geometric theme of the pattern is chosen, one emphasis on each hand is enough. As for the moon manicure, you can bet on the unusual shape of the hole. For example, it may be triangular. A design with a narrow-accent triangle extending from the base of the nail to its upper edge will look beautiful. However, for such a design to look beautiful, the color of the triangle should be lighter than the main background. Dark figures on a light background often visually change the shape of the plates for the worse.

In fashion, vertical lines and a diagonal cell. You can use shades of pastel colors, drawing colorful stripes with them, crossing them together. If the rest of the nails are plain, such a design will look very beautiful. Vertical stripes can be drawn on a veil basis, decorating them at the base with a tiny rhinestone. By the way, this is a great basis for using kamifubuki.

Refined and elegant manicure is demanding on the theme of the picture. And therefore no spiders, cobwebs and skulls can become the basis of its decoration. A cage, single flowers, branches, buds, feathers, monograms, nets, spikelets are the best solutions for accents. In order not to reduce the status, do not paint the pictures. Even a straight line with points located on it can add elegance to a laconic classic.
