All women on the planet want to look well-groomed, but only a few know how to do this. Manicure is one of the ways to take care of yourself, in particular, for your pens.
What is it, for which nails is it suitable?
Still at the peak of popularity, graphic manicure remains. First of all, due to its diversity and relevance in any situation. Simple lines, geometric shapes, patterns of different thicknesses, diameters and colors - all this will help to create a unique image combined with elegance and simplicity.
There are many variations on how best to do a manicure from the length of the nails to the design and color. One of the options for the design and application of the graphic pattern is short nails, which allows you to make manicure more convenient in everyday life. But do not forget that in a manicure on short nails, the drawing should be applied small, leaving free space along the contour of the nail.
Long nails are a great field for graphic design experimentation., here you can think of anything to make the pens look unique. Regarding the color scheme, the graphic design does not require strict implementation of the "rules" of manicure.
You can use bright, pastel, contrasting, the same colors in the color scheme, all that will make the pens and nails shine.
Variety of techniques
A variable basis for designing a manicure in this style is the use of gradient techniques. In this case, you should adhere to one color type, gradually switch from the most saturated to the most faded.
Do not forget about the famous French manicure, this nail design technique can also be used to create a trendy graphic design, combining French manicure with graphic elements.
One of the trends of last year was a matte manicure. In creating graphic design, you should not bypass the matte effect as well. You can combine matte design and graphics on the nails (it has its own effect on different nails), or you can matte a graphic design already invented earlier. The colors when choosing this option of manicure, you can use the most diverse.
The lunar version of manicure does not disappear anywhere, only now in an improved form, using graphics. Actually, it is called “lunar”, since the whole drawing is concentrated on the hole of the nail, that is, at the base.
To diversify the lunar manicure, you can use the graphic design technique with any variations: a triangular hole, oval, square and even jagged, you can also not paint over the hole, and also highlight it with a different (contrasting or similar) color.
For lovers of brilliant manicure, there is also their own version of the graphic design technique. Combining geometric shapes with sparkles is the best option for evening wear on your pens.
Sequins will also look advantageous in combination with geometry, a French jacket, a moon manicure and even matte. Any fantasy, but only in moderation.
In addition to sparkles, there are many more ways to diversify the already traditional manicure.
- Shimmer - also a kind of sparkles, but in a finer consistency, which allows brilliant particles to shimmer and shine in the light.
- Acrylic Powder - this method appeared relatively recently, but fashionistas fell in love with it just like French manicure. Acrylic was most often used as one of the extension options, but now it can be used to make nail designs (sculpting) and also combine different techniques: graphic manicure, brilliant, French. Colors in unlimited variation.
- Craquelure - In part, it can be attributed to graphic design, because this technique allows the top coating to “crack” and open the bottom layer of varnish of a different color. These "cracks" are done arbitrarily, each nail has its own pattern, which allows you to make your pens and each nail individually a work of art.
Graphic drawing
The fashion for nail design does not stand still, every year something changes, returns and improves. Drawing is one of the most popular trends in the modern world. Everything that can be thought up and everything that the master can embody is the main condition for graphic manicure. These are flowers and fruits, snowmen and animals, but anything.
Most often, women "adjust" their manicure in relation to the time of year.
- Spring and summer - these are all kinds of flowers and seasonal fruits and berries, vegetables, butterflies, clouds, the sun, the sea, palm trees. Mainly used warm and bright colors.
- Fall - time to be a little sad. Then, drawings with droplets, thunderclouds, umbrellas, and leaves are used. The colors used are warm but calmer.
- In winter the fair sex most often depicts snowmen, snow, snowflakes, New Year trees, toys, garlands on their pens. The color of the nails is the calmest, relative to the other seasons it is cold, but it is no less beautiful.
Travel lovers will also not be left without attention. To satisfy their desires or as reminders of the places they have visited, you can depict your favorite cities or your favorite landscapes on your nails, then the manicure will become truly irresistible.
Animal graphics
After the sensational leopard leggings, the terrible effect that they have on others, everyone is wary of animalistic design, but do not be afraid. A manicure with animal drawings looks much more harmless and accurate.
Very often you can notice how various graphic images of animals appear on the pens of girls: seals, dogs, birds, butterflies, snakes and crocodiles, elephants and giraffes, in general, the whole kingdom of nature and wild fantasy. Sometimes you can see individual parts of these animals, for example: cat's eye, paws or tracks of a kitten or chick. Such a design in the skilled hands of the master will make the manicure very interesting and advantageous.
Still, there are girls who are wary of animal prints. For such cases, you can use another option: make a graphic imitation of the same animal using its color or features. For example: the tiger has specific stripes, in which case it is possible to decorate the nails with these stripes in combination, close to the real color of the tiger.
A drawing of a leopard, or rather, its spots, will look very unusual. In this design, you can use not only the color scheme of the leopard itself, but also experiment with different colors, even the most, at first glance, incompatible ones.
Sometimes masters, in order not to bother much with the drawing of each speck, because it is very difficult to repeat the pattern on each nail or hand, use special stencils, which greatly simplifies and minimizes pastime in the cabin.
Each of the presented manicure options can be combined and combined with each other so that the pens look beautiful, individual and unique. With a good and attentive master, any whim will be fulfilled one hundred percent, most importantly, always know the measure and listen to advice, and then the manicure will always be impeccable and appropriate at any time of the year.
