Trends and antitrends of the season
Good news for owners of long nails. This season, as never before, it is fashionable to wear long pointed and oval nails. This form provides ample opportunities for the flight of fantasies. You can draw, make compositions of rhinestones and other decorations. However, it is important to ensure that the manicure is not too extravagant and does not get out of the way.
Super-sophisticated and active designs are now out of fashion, they are best replaced with more minimalistic options. In order to emphasize, you can combine simple ideas with vibrant colors. This allows you to not overload the nails, but at the same time the manicure will be quite original.
First of all, you should pay attention to the gentle nude shades. This is the very classic that cannot be out of date. They look great on both long and short nails. If you prefer gel polish, then these colors will help you maintain the freshness of the manicure for a long time.
If we talk about rhinestones, then their use should be very neat. An overabundance of rhinestones is today in one of the first lines of antitrends in manicure. The combination of bright colors with sparkles and rhinestones also make the manicure unattractive. If you still want to sparkle, remember about minimalism. Combine rhinestones with neutral pastel colors, do not try to stick as many stones as possible. It is best to make a small composition on the ring finger or add one pebble in the middle near the nail hole.
Delicate ombre from matching shades is considered very fashionable today. It is important to use exactly the same colors, for example, bright red, turning into wine, pale pink - in saturated, blue - in blue.
Bright neon shades go away with the summer. They are better to replace with saturated red, wine, burgundy. And you can also pay attention to the dark eggplant shades, which are perfect for an autumn wardrobe. In general, it is better to choose the color of a manicure based on the season and lifestyle. Most likely, if you work in the office, you will not be allowed to wear bright colors.
About the texture we can say that today it is fashionable to wear glossy, pearly and neat holographic nails, but matte ones are already leaving the trends. In makeup today, the “effect of wet lips” is relevant, and in manicure, the “effect of wet nails”. Therefore, we abandon matte coatings in favor of a noble gloss.
