Manicure in the style of "minimalism"

In everyday life, like on holidays, I want to look stylish. Manicure in this regard plays an important role, as well-groomed hands are immediately evident. But all kinds of sparkles, voluminous drawings and complex patterns will not always be appropriate. In addition, their creation takes a lot of time. It is for such cases that there is an excellent design option - minimalism.

Minimalistic manicure is one of the main trends of this year. This version of nail art helps to give the appearance of sophistication and femininity. On the nails, it looks natural and neat.

Minimalistic nail art involves not only a monophonic coating, but also a small drawing on one, several nails, or on the entire arm. The main synonym for minimalism is restraint. But, despite this, such a manicure is perfect for both everyday and evening onions. It is universality that made this style popular.

Modern designers offer a wide variety of minimalist manicure optionsthat will look stylish, modest and at the same time expensive. But while shaping the nails, it is worth remembering that this style is very close to the classic. Therefore, the design of the edge of the nail is also better to maintain in the traditional form: rounded or rectangular.

To create an actual image, it is important not only to have a sense of style, but also to know the fashionable directions of the season.This primarily refers to the color palette. Classic colors are suitable for minimalism:

• the black;
• white;
• transparent;
• beige.

Pastel shades of soft tones are also recommended by nail art specialists. It can be blue, soft pink, light green, pearl tones. In addition, decorative additions in the form of a small number of sparkles or rhinestones look great on the nails.

Do not be afraid to combine several colors. Here the main rule is harmony. Nails should not look mottled. Both contrasting combinations, for example, black and white, and several similar shades that correspond to the same color scheme and complement each other are allowed. For example, pastel yellow and beige.

All of the above color tricks are classic, but there are also radical solutions. So, rich blue shades complemented by beige go well with the minimalist style.

The leading trend in minimalism is geometry. When decorating the surface, lines, stripes or simply brush strokes made in random order are actively used. The most concise curls can look sophisticated and even bold.

When creating a geometric pattern, it is best to use contrasting colors. So the manicure will look more impressive and expressive.

An excellent result is obtained when combining points with stripes or asymmetric lines. For example, you can divide a nail into two or more parts with even or curving veins, and in one of them make a composition of small drops of contrasting varnish. The trend also includes the image of geometric shapes: squares, circles, triangles.

At first glance, accurate and even drawing of lines seems to be a difficult task. But there are secrets to its implementation. For example, to draw a long, even line on the work surface, it is best to use a brush for drawings with long hairs (brush-liner).

When creating a manicure in the style of minimalism, use various drawings.

• flowers
• twigs;
• spider web.

There are certain features of applying the ornament, the main of which is its small size. So the nails look discreet and modern. Another application option is also possible, when the necessary pattern is stretched across the entire surface, creating an ornate weave.

A classic and very stylish nail design option is ombre. It is in it that it is acceptable to use bright colors to create the basis of the coating. Applying a sharper and more effective image will help applying a dark shade on the tip of the nail, and the lightest - on its base.

For those who value uniqueness in everything, including manicure, there is a certain trick. You can add a small picture to the ombre. But you need to create it not from above, but between the light layers. Thus, he will only peek through the coating. This version of nail art will be an interesting addition even to a business suit.

Another stylistic device is a manicure with an accent. It is performed in a uniform tone on all nails, except for one, it is also possible option through one nail.When using this technique, it is important to remember that the pattern on the nail can be anything, but most importantly - concise.

It can also be decorated with several rhinestones or beads. This will emphasize the accuracy and modesty of the image. The absence of heavy stucco molding and a large number of rhinestones will add a touch of tenderness and sophistication.

Minimalism is a suitable style for using decorative wire. From it on the nail you can depict absolutely any figure or even an action. Abstract options are very popular. They can be placed both on one or two fingers, and on the whole hand. This decor looks great on a matte surface. In addition, any image can be given a three-dimensional appearance. The overall image is quite restrained, but unusual and individual.

To create such a manicure, you must first apply the base on the work surface, then bend the wire in accordance with the design and shape of the nail. Fix it with a transparent gel polish, which is best applied at the base or in the side of the nail plate. It is not necessary to fix all the faces of the wire, one side is enough.

When designing, it is also important to remember that minimalism does not mean that you can use only one design option. They can be successfully combined. So, the moon manicure goes well with an emphasis on one finger. The main thing is not to get carried away and not to overdo it.

One of the most interesting ideas for creating a manicure are small drawings with meaning. The desired highlight in the image will add a point image of one or more zodiac constellations. Such a manicure is performed using just two colors of dark and light shades.

A light shade is applied to the base of the three middle fingers. Then the little finger and thumb are stained in a dark tone. And in the same dark color, a point image of any constellations, which can either be repeated or different, is applied over a light base. Various color arrangements are possible.

A small semantic picture, for example, the image of a light bulb, can also emphasize individuality. In this case, the base is applied in the same way, only on the middle finger the silhouette of the light bulb is drawn, and on the adjacent fingers they simply make a few arbitrary strokes with dark varnish.

A good solution would be a small inscription on one nail with a contrasting varnish. Such decor will inevitably emphasize the owner’s personality if it is done using a special marker in her own handwriting.

It should be noted that it is possible to individualize a manicure in a minimalist style using the ombre technique. To do this, it is necessary to change the shades not on each nail, but to alternate the tones of one or similar colors on the fingers. For example, to cover the surface of the thumbnail with a dark shade, and the next nail plate slightly lighter.

Do not forget about the foil manicure, which is permissible in minimalism. You can make a shiny surface on one or more nails. The main thing is to take as a basis a discreet varnish that harmonizes with the color of the foil. When using a contrast varnish, inadmissible variegation will inevitably arise.

When designing a manicure, one should not forget about the banal combination of colors with the chosen clothes and image style. So, not every geometric pattern will suit a dress with lace.
