Current trends in nail art indicate the relevance of a delicate topic in choosing a manicure print, regardless of mood and chosen clothing style. This article will tell you about the features of the design of nails, the choice of the most relevant color, as well as compliance with seasonal news and fashion trends.

Just like in clothes, the manicure style has the same inconsistent and most relevant current trends in the fashion world.

The favorite of this season is undoubtedly the natural delicate decor of nails without bright flashy shades and massive decorating elements.

The main distinguishing feature of gentle manicure is the use of pastel colors, which do not cause any vivid emotions, but carry calm and peace. Such a manicure is ideal for:

• everyday image;
• school / university;
• weddings, graduation;
• romantic date;
• social events;
• evening look;
• business style office.

Among the key features of gentle manicure, you can highlight the following points:

• versatility combined with clothing and the look of the event - from everyday bow to gala evening;
• it has not lost its relevance for many years;
• the design is concise, sophisticated and neat;
• emphasizes the natural beauty of female hands and at the same time does not make unnecessary emphasis on hands;
• such a manicure can be diluted if you combine several lacquers of the same color in the palette - a similar combination will give effect and will definitely not look boring;
• suitable for both long and short nails;
• personifies calmness and pacification, tenderness and even a certain airiness;
• with all its simplicity, it looks quite stylish;
• after a time on such a manicure chips and flaws are not so noticeable;
• even the most fastidious beauty can make the image complete with a modest drawing or a pair of rhinestones that perfectly blend with this kind of manicure.

Pastel colors are primarily soft pink, sky blue, lilac, creamy, light gray, cream, sand, peach or white. Among the many shades of these colors, you can create the perfect combination for a gentle and reverent manicure.

Despite the fact that the design in pastel colors looks beautiful and graceful on nails of any length, a calm manicure on nails of moderate length in the range from 3 to 5 mm is a priority today.

The shape of the plates in accordance with modern fashion trends is better to choose a neat almond-shaped or oval. The soft rounded square ("squoval"), which gives feminine handles femininity and at the same time elegance, is also still popular.

As decorative details, you can use different elements.

The advantage of rhinestones is that they can be used on short nails. They blend perfectly with the delicate and nude range of colors. However, it is worth remembering that it is important not to overdo it with their number of strasses: two or three will be quite enough. Shiny pebbles can be used both silver and other shades, matching the tone to the clothes. Such a manicure is suitable for everyday life, and for not too strict office dress code.

The process of nail design with sculpting can be compared with the reduced work of the sculptor. Compositions with this variation of the decor are voluminous and elegant. The elements for creating a three-dimensional figure are modeling acrylic powder and liquid monomer, which when mixed give a plastic polymer mass. It is this that serves as the material for the decoration of nails. It can be both flowers and all kinds of bows, figures, curls, leaves, patterns, symbols, shells, ladybugs, butterflies, etc.

The so-called 3D modeling involves pre-coating with acrylic or gel polish, which provides a more accurate effect and prolongs the life of the manicure. For such a decor, the nail plate is often made oval, almond-shaped or acute to medium or large length. However, sculpting can also be applied on nails short, but at the same time the patterns should be as miniature as possible.

Another example of an outstanding nail plate design is small bead beads. This method involves the use of specially made material, called broth. It can be purchased at any cosmetics store. The decoration procedure is more than easy: a varnish of a pre-selected shade is applied to the nail, and immediately beads sprinkle immediately. It is important to catch it before the varnish dries. Such a special and creative design will perfectly complement the integrity of the bow and emphasize the festive image.

To form a certain ornament, it is necessary to use a tool that allows you to lay out a picture precisely. As it can be used a toothpick, needle or tweezers.

Rubbing sparkles is another fashionable novelty of this year. For decor, fine particles of shiny chrome pigment are used.The mirror effect is achieved by rubbing the pigment with a sponge applicator onto a nail plate pre-coated with the base of the selected shade. Such nail art is also not difficult.

The color of the resulting shade of manicure depends both on the color of the mirror powder itself, and from the colorization of the base coat. Among the most popular shades of rubbing - gold, silver, pink, pearl. It is worth noting that to complement the wedding bow, brides often choose a pearl shade. He gives tenderness, lightness, romance, femininity and at the same time eccentricity.

Behind such an exotic word is actually the simplest, but at the same time amazing nail design. Kamifubuki, which means “paper storm” in Japanese, is a shiny confetti or sequin. For gentle manicure use blue, pink, white colors of an exclusive product.

To apply such a decor, the nail plate must first be prepared. The base for gel polish is applied and polymerized. Next it is necessary to cover with gel polish of the desired shade in several layers. Polymerization of the extreme layer of gel polish is not required, since kamifubuki will be placed on it. The material should be applied before the varnish dries, using a special tool - dotsoma. After the sparkles have been placed in the right places, it is necessary to polymerize the last layer in the lamp once more, apply the top and repeat the procedure. Such a manicure looks spectacular, sophisticated and especially gentle.

Among the design techniques for nail decoration, velvet sand is especially popular. This is a unique powder of medium grinding, which, when interacted with a liquid, becomes denser, and does not soften, like small spangles. Due to its texture, such material lasts long enough.

The powder itself is translucent, and the shade of manicure depends on the selected nail base. Velvet sand is satin and matte, so the effect on the nail surface is either suede or sugar.

Powder gives manicure sophistication and luxury.

A popular trend in the world of nail design. It looks great in the context of the color spectrum of delicate nail art.

For this decor, a light foil film is used, which after coating the varnish layer gives a soft glow effect. This combination allows you to expand the entire range of manicure.

As a complement to the delicate “broken glass” technique, you can draw lines or glue foil strips. Manicurists recommend using this effect not for all nails, but for one or two.

Contrary to universal claims that floral designs can overload delicate manicure, this decor is used everywhere. And not in vain. Flowers, petals, all kinds of twigs, peas and stripes become the perfect complement to the delicate image. A careful selection of unusual design and pattern will emphasize the depth and originality of nature.

Nevertheless, it is necessary to remember that in this design option there is a danger of overloading the integrity of the image.

Ideally, one or two fingers have enough decor.

The geometric design allows you to complement the image with accuracy and elegance. With him, unlike the previous version of the decor, it is difficult to overdo it and do something extra. Due to its rigor, combined with beauty at the same time, this option will be ideal for business women.

As beauty is timeless, so geometric design is ageless - it harmonizes perfectly in the manicure of all the fair sex - from a little girl to an adult woman.
