Autumn is one of the conflicting seasons. For some, it is associated with melancholy, for others it is time to restart, and for some, the advent of autumn adds a depressive state. Despite everything, she does not leave indifferent any woman, so let us please ourselves with autumn manicure, because the trend of seasonality of design is today one of the leading areas of nail art.
Style features
Autumn manicure is one of the four seasonal directions of design in the modern nail sphere. It is based on several important points:
- choosing the right shades of pigmented gel polishes;
- considering the optimal shape of the nail plates;
- choosing the best design techniques;
- choosing the right decorative elements;
- given the items of clothing of the female wardrobe;
- correlating design with style and specific case.
Each of the items has its own nuances. It's no secret that nothing conveys the desired mood as pleasant tones of the color palette. They can indicate not only belonging to the autumn, but even indicate its month. Say, the early autumn season can be conveyed with bright tones of the palette, for cold and rainy choose more neutral tones.
The shape of nails today depends on the shape and length of the fingers of a particular woman. In this regard, there are no strict restrictions, although the only, perhaps, can be called excessive length. The fact is that such nails are strongly tapering to the upper edge, and therefore complicate the decoration and distort the patterns. In addition, such nails do not look very feminine, and fashion tends to be natural and natural.
If you want the nails to appear visually longer, it is better to make them oval.For short nails, it is worth choosing solutions that exclude transverse stripes and a contrasting stroke of the upper edge, as this shortens the nail plates. The best length, according to fashion trends, today is considered moderate or medium. In this case, the edge of the nail can be straight, rounded or almond-shaped.
Regarding the wardrobe, you need to choose a design so that it does not outweigh the female image and does not shout about itself, persistently attracting the attention of others. For example, colder and neutral tones look great in everyday bows. Bright colors will be more appropriate when the color of clothes is more calm. At the same time, the use of related tones of one color is harmonious, but it is impossible to supplement a bright outfit with a bright color of manicure.
Style is one of the key points in selecting autumn nail designs. It is important that the design matches the chosen direction in clothing, as well as the inner world. For example, for office and office-business it is better to limit oneself to tones of flesh and brown group. So a manicure can be combined with different clothes, and it will not get out on the background of a strict dress code. Regarding the purpose of the design, everything will depend on the type of materials used. For example, if the manicure is done with ordinary varnishes, you can even afford elaborate designs, going to a party or, say, a weekend. When covering nails with hybrid varnishes, you have to deny yourself something, because you will have to wear such a design for at least two to four weeks in a row.

In each case, the design is pre-selected, combining tones and given their compatibility with each other. For example, a classic manicure will be a win-win option, in which the nails are completely painted over the entire area of the nail plate.

It is suitable for fixing sliders, decorating the base with dotted circles or even kamifubuki. The classic technique is good in that it allows you to reveal the beauty of the varnish used, be it matte, glossy, shimmer or chameleon. Mirror nails will also look beautiful in this technique.
An excellent reception of the decor of a classic manicure can be called a rub. This powder is so diverse today that you can choose the option with an imitation of any desired effect.

If you want other effects, you can decorate a classic manicure with a rubbed chrome, pearl, chameleon or glass. The secret of this material lies in the pigments themselves, which change the perception as the powder is rubbed into the base. You can use the effects of “unicorn”, “aurora”, “prism”, “flakes”. Most varieties of this powder provide for further decoration of nails, and are also suitable for techniques such as traditional and reverse jacket, moon manicure and broken glass techniques.

As for the ideas of drawings that are fashionable and appropriate for autumn design, in addition to a variety of leaves, these can be ripe berries, umbrellas, landscapes of a rainy city, juicy apples and even vegetables.
For later autumn, a variety of branches are good, empty trees without leaves and even puddles with leaves floating inside them.

Design for an image
No matter how beautiful the seasonal autumn manicure may be, without a specific image it may seem elaborate or even too bright. To look fashionable and appropriate, it is worth considering the purpose of this or that option in advance. Let's look at a few examples of nail design to understand which one will be appropriate in a particular image.
- The design of nails in calm tones fits perfectly into the everyday image of a city dweller. The theme of geometry and strict design will allow the manicure to decorate the nails of office workers.

- Early autumn on rain-themed nails and trees dropping leaves can complete the look of a neutral, underground, and swag. To combine a bright design background in your image, you need to consider the selection of accessories.
- This design indicates belonging to the image of the military. Fans of this trend in clothing will definitely like it. However, in order for such a design to be appropriate in a female bow, one will have to limit oneself to choosing monotonous things in the image elements.

Choosing this or that design of seasonal manicure, one should not forget that for the harmony of the image, its color scheme should be included in a related group of the worn clothing or the chosen accessory.

They are dripped into the water, after which they are filled with a roller, thus creating peculiar stickers fixed in the future to the nails. So you can successfully enter a manicure into most female images, choosing varnish tones for existing wardrobe clothes.
Do not write off beige or flesh color. Such a basis will soften the perception of saturated colors, as well as add manicure premium and sophistication. Regarding the priorities between art design or print, each fashionista decides for herself. Moreover, not only geometry, leaves or, say, ethnic ornaments, but also fiery foxes will look harmoniously on the nails, which today is considered one of the trends in manicure.
