Any girl at any holiday wants to look chic. When we are invited to a celebration, for the most part, we immediately begin to think what to wear, what hairstyle to make, what makeup will suit the general style. And if no one called us to this extravaganza, and we created it ourselves? Or rather, it's your own birthday. The image is ready, but in the end there was one important detail - manicure. What nail design is best for such a celebration?
And where did the wonderful concept of “manicure” come from?
The origins can be found in ancient Egypt, when the Pharaohs "guardians of the hands" did preventive hygiene procedures. Further, up through history, we go to Ancient Greece, where Greek women varnished their nails. Later there was China, which presented the world with fashion for black and red nails. Well, after a long time, in 1925, the first nail polish goes on sale.
Now on sale you can find a palette of tens of thousands of shades, among which you can find the one that is right for you.
Classic
You need to start with it. Classic is something that with absolutely any look will be appropriate! A short playful dress and bright makeup, a long evening dress with hair tied in a high bun, a trouser suit and a stylish bag-bag - all this goes well with classic manicure.
Classic manicure can also be divided into several subspecies:
- transparent;
- nude (from the English. nude - nude, natural).
In a transparent manicure, everything is "transparent." The nails are thoroughly processed, and later covered with a clear varnish or gel polish - anyone who likes more.
It must be remembered that the coating with ordinary varnish with the correct application and, of course, with the correct content can be as durable as the effect of gel polish.
Nude shades are those that are closest to the color of our skin. Here it should be noted light tones of pink and beige colors. After applying them from above, you can also cover them with a thin layer of transparent varnish to give an inimitable shine to the spotlights, in which you will certainly shine during your holiday!
Design manicure
Where fantasy is endless, especially in our age of modern technology. On the nails they draw works of art, cover them with sparkles, rhinestones, make piercings, apply sugar (special, of course). Here, of course, the choice of design depends on the image and the direction of the holiday. Birthday is not always the usual gatherings at the table. Themed parties are now very popular, regardless of the focus of the holiday or event. And a birthday in the style of something is definitely a success. Manicure, like decoration, clothing or food, should be appropriate.
Cruise
Of course, we can immediately imagine a manicure in white-blue-blue tones. Sailor strip, anchor, helm, chain, ship - everything that can be attributed to the beautiful theme of the sea. But the sea is not only calm. Pirate flags, guns, skulls, treasure chest. Or maybe a whole map will be drawn on your nails? Make up your mind and decide!
Chic party
The predominance of red and exquisite drawings lined with diamonds (or almost). Long nails with the finest patterns of gold sparkles sparkling like stars on the carpet. Nails on which real chains and beads will be attached. Friends will definitely not be able to take your eyes off your hands.
Gothic beau monde
Style, of course, for the most daring, as in the design of the party, and in the way you need to emphasize all the terribly beautiful advantages. Black nails decorated with black rhinestones, very long sharp nails, blue-violet flowers that are intertwined with daggers and swords. Or maybe your nails will be in the form of dragon scales or entwined with cobwebs? Terribly mesmerizing.
Pajama boom
Caught up with fear past manicure. Who got scared - now we’ll fix the situation! For those who are still quite a child at heart. Say you don't need a manicure in a pajama party? There it was! Imagine cute teddy bears sleeping on clouds in your nails or socks, caps and a cozy bed are painted on each nail. And the shades for such a manicure are only delicate: pink, yellow and blue.
Royal reception
Yes, and it happens. Such a party needs to think through everything from and to. Of course, the empresses and queens did not paint on their nails, but who prevents us from imagining what it would look like. We must not forget that one of the nails can be “crowned” with a crown inlaid with rhinestones, sparkles, or simply drawn on its contour on the nail.
It is not forbidden to use bulky stones that look like emeralds, amber, sapphire, ruby or beryl. But remember the holy rule - do not go too far with such wonderful stones. Have a little good. And when there is a lot of good, it already becomes a bad manners.
As you can see, the number of parties, their direction, style and general appearance can be so different that the preparation for each of them is different. But do not forget about your unique style, as well as about your wonderful and graceful hands.
Nail extension
All past examples, for the most part, meant only painting the nails. Now for consideration - the once-trending build-up. I remember that even about 7 years ago, when the building was at the peak of its popularity, the girls all the same used this fashionable trend. Which there were only nails: sharp, oval, beveled, square and many others.
Now building is not so popular, but some girls still resort to this method of decorating their hands. Nail extension is not a quick procedure, but, of course, it all depends on the master and the method of extension.
But if you have planned a trip to the master, then do not do it every day with your triumph, otherwise you risk being late for your own birthday.
Kinds
There are two main types of nail extensions: gel and acrylic. If on your birthday you decide to go to a bathhouse, water park or any place that is somehow connected with water, then nail acrylic is better to build nails - this is a chemical substance that only grows stronger during socks, that is, theoretically you can carry it without problems month and more. The only problem is the growing nail. But there is a correction.
For those who, having read about acrylic, got scared and imagined that the chemical on the nails for the main holiday of life is a terrible addition, relax: the material poses no danger to both the nail and your health.
The gel, of course, is also chemistry, but it does not have a pronounced smell, like its “colleague”. The gel itself is smoothed out with a fingernail or a shape that the master glues to it, but is dried exclusively under a UV lamp.
The most popular pattern on extended nails is the good old classic jacket. And in Russian, a white strip along the edge of the nail, exactly repeating its shape. Most often, the shape is either oval or square. That is, in such a manicure two concepts are combined: classic and building. Why not? The main thing is not to overdo it with the length, since a too long jacket is a sight for an amateur.
General recommendations
We are always 18, and we know that. And, of course, this information does not apply to theme parties. But, if the celebration takes place in a beautiful restaurant, the guests who come are in costumes, and you in a delightful evening dress, most likely, a manicure with ducks and cherries will not be too appropriate.
Or, if such a high-profile event takes place at home, the guests sit at the table, and you run from the kitchen to the room in a dressing gown and an apron, and super beautiful monograms with rhinestones flaunt your nails, you must agree that you will appreciate the dishes you cook more than the look .
Do not forget to take into account the fact where the celebration takes place. If you and your friends participate in a sports quest, climb up the mountains, or are in a place where your hands are the first assistant, you may need to give up manicure as much as possible, as the risk of damaging it increases.
And what about after?
A holiday has passed. Everything was top notch. A manicure created specifically in the theme of the holiday remained. Of course, you can erase it if you are the author, or go to the master to remove gel polish or acrylic. But do not get excited! No one canceled beautiful hands in everyday life. If the image is funny or thematic - beat a bright accessory in clothes. If the classic option is chosen, it’s worthless to come up with here.
And most importantly, remember: a birthday is your holiday, and on this day only one person is unique - you. The image, manicure, clothing, ideas for translating fantasies - all these, of course, are necessary things. But the most important thing is to be happy and loved.
