There are many cases in life when the color and design of a manicure are of great importance. One of such moments is the long-awaited trip to the sea. Since the harmony of the image and the appearance on vacation for a woman will be very important, you should choose the appropriate option for nail design, taking into account personal preferences and current trends in nail art.
Decor Features
Despite the fact that many experts and the fair sex are of the opinion that, going to the sea, fingernails and nails should also take a short rest, leaving them without the usual varnish to heal and strengthen them, not every modern girl follows similar recommendations. And this step is quite justified, because on a trip you also want to look stunning. In addition, summer vacations quite often involve a lot of new impressions and acquaintances, so women want to look 100% on vacation.
Undoubtedly, you can stay at a standard hygienic manicure, which will also be appropriate, but if the sea trip is not limited to visiting the beach, but involves hiking in local attractions, restaurants and other entertainment venues, every woman wants to stand out from the rest of the vacationers, and the original manicure will help her with this.
In addition, as practice shows, even under a layer of varnish, the nail plate is hardened and nourished with nutrients that contain sea water and air.This point should be taken into account when choosing a manicure at sea, because under the influence of vitamins and minerals, nails not only get stronger, but also grow faster.
In light of the foregoing, when deciding in favor of a particular version of marine manicure, several important nuances should be taken into account. They will help to maintain the original attractiveness of the created design, and will also allow manicure to be combined with the theme of the trip and the way of spending time in it.
- First of all, it should be clearly understood that for some period of time you will have to be almost constantly exposed to ultraviolet, heat and water, so the design of the nails should correspond to such an atmosphere. That is, ideas and drawings applied to the marigolds should contain associations with the hot summer, sea and vacation. This also applies to color schemes when varnishing, where all options for blue and gold will become most relevant, but the rest is about imagination and desires.
- But the brightness and relevance of design - this is not all. No less important are the durability and strength of the coating and the materials used for the decor.
It is important that the manicure is preserved on the nails for at least ten days. That is why it is worth giving preference to a design that has an additional coating that can fix the coloring composition and the decorative materials used on the base.
Some experts recommend abandoning volume sculpting or numerous stones and rhinestones, which on vacation can be damaged or fall off, which will spoil the big picture. In addition, it is better to entrust the creation of a sea manicure to a professional master who can use ordinary varnishes, gel varnishes or gel paints for work.
- It will be useful to think over the marine image, as well as try, on the basis of the chosen wardrobe and accessories, to choose the most suitable manicure option so that the image is as beautiful and harmonious as possible in any situation.
Nail shape
Choosing the right option for a sea manicure, it is worth considering that a bright summer design, like a classic jacket with elements of a nautical theme, will look best on nails of medium length or very short ones. In the most natural setting, being on the beach close to nature, an excessive amount of makeup on the face or the presence of complex hairstyles, as well as long nails on the arms and legs, is best avoided. This will emphasize the natural beauty and attractiveness, and a golden tan will only contribute to this.
In addition, with frequent contact with seawater, the nails become softer, and therefore brittle, therefore, in order to avoid unpleasant situations in which well-groomed, but long nails can simply break and ruin the whole design, it will be more correct to cut them shorter during the summer holidays.
As for the form, for each woman this question is individual. Nails of small length can be given a rounded shape, which will be relevant for a gentle jacket or leave them slightly pointed. This option will be appropriate when they are issued in the form of various fruits. For the image of a vest or sea waves, it is best to give the nails a shape close to square.
