Butterfly and rhinestone manicure: fashion trends and design examples

A manicure with butterflies and rhinestones has been very popular and popular for several seasons in a row. However, fashion trends each time bring something new to the design that distinguishes modern manicure from ordinary options. About what has changed today and how to properly decorate nails with butterflies, we will consider in more detail below.

Favorite colors for designing nails with butterflies are pastel colors. The best color combinations of the season are combinations:

• nude with burgundy purple and black;
• light purple with lilac and white;
• orange-brick with black and white;
• beige and black;

• white, powdery and black;
• light pink and pale green;
• pink and purple;
• orange, white and silver;
• lilac and white;

• coral, white and yellow-orange;
• peach and pale pink;
• nyuda and mint;
• tan and blue.

The shape of the nails for summer design with butterflies can be different. More recently, short marigolds were in priority with the native elongated shape of the nail plate. Today, the average length is returning to fashion, while the edge of the nail can be straight, slightly rounded or even almond-shaped. However, current trends are not yet ready to return to fashionistas a huge length and sharp edges. It is understandable: such a form looks ugly and even somewhat aggressive with butterflies.

To understand the difference between familiar design and new products, You can pay attention to the innovations introduced this season.

• The trend is the contour stroke of the nail plate. Fashionable accents today are often surrounded by a thin contrast line. For this reason, it is better that the edge of the nail is rounded.
• The "smile" of the jacket is activated. Elements of the drawing are created from it, it is distinguished as a stroke of the wings.
• The number of rhinestones in the design should be dosed. Everything superfluous overloads the ease of manicure, and this is unacceptable, because the main trend of the season is minimalism.

Volumetric stones are considered a relic of the past. It's time for more convenient designs. Rhinestones need to be selected so that they do not cling to clothes and other objects. The arrangement of rhinestones should be as precise as possible. So the picture will look better, and manicure will not change the special status for vulgarity.

• Emphasis should not be much. You can not decorate more than four out of ten fingers with thematic drawings.
• The pattern should be matched in harmonious color combinations with a common background. Do not overload the design with a lot of contrasting tones.

To decorate the manicure with beautiful butterflies, You can use different decoration techniques.

• The traditional option, familiar to many, is painting. If the master draws well, it will not be difficult for him to depict on accent nails not only a sketchy print, but also a rather realistic butterfly. Today, more attention is paid to drawing, since the best butterflies are those whose appearance is as close as possible to the present.
• However, this does not mean that you need to accurately copy photographic images: a quality picture is appreciated, but not a photo. Styling is also appropriate, especially if it is performed flawlessly. The best option for this decoration of nails is stamping. Today it is in demand no less than hand-painted and convenient in that it significantly saves time on creating a delicate print.
• No less popular stickers with which you can diversify the mood of the design. They are glued in a matter of seconds, covering the nail plate with a layer of film and sealing the finish. From a wide assortment of diverse drawings, you can choose options even for especially demanding clients. However, whatever butterfly you choose, it should not be exactly repeated on other nails. This is ugly and noticeably simplifies the design.

Butterflies can be decorated with nails based on different manicure technologies.

• The most convenient option is the classic technique, in which the nails are completely varnished. Against such a background, it is convenient to draw, stamping and stickers look good on it. The convenience of this method is the fact that you can draw on either a light or a dark basis, because this does not affect the tone of the print, which cannot be said about the sliders.
• Such a design looks beautiful in French manicure. Moreover, you can beat this technique, depicting a traditional smile inherent in a French, in the form of butterfly wings or even an insect body. Those who love gradient technique can “set” butterflies on accent nails of just such a design. A smooth transition of contrasting tones will make a special summer mood in such a manicure.

To design was beautiful, and most importantly, expressive, It is worth considering some nuances.

• It is possible to carry out the drawing in one color, but with a different texture. Matte gloss looks stylish and modern.
• Looks great combination of three tones: dark, white and third color, akin to dark.
• It’s better to “seat” the rhinestones one at a time on the lace, blade of grass or the body of the butterfly, rather than strew the cuticle area with them.
• Do not make more than two butterflies in design, as well as completely repeat the pattern on two hands. It is better that the pattern is at least slightly different.
• To add depth to the base coat, you can use it gently. In gentle tones, it looks especially beautiful and gives the manicure versatility.
• If there are no tiny rhinestones, but they are fundamental, you can supplement those that are, using broths or acrylic powder.
