Manicure with triangles is among the ten best nail art designs today. This design option seems minimalistic, but it is quite capable of decorating any female image, regardless of her age and style of clothing.
Design features
The triangle that adorns the fingernails not only seems to be a feminine design - despite its simplicity, it makes manicure extremely effective. Today, the shape of a geometric figure can be diverse, ranging from equilateral low to elongated with the base at the cuticle area and the apex at the edge of the nail plate. As a rule, this type of geometric design is referred to as minimalistic design. Because today it is considered the best way to decorate nails, because the fashion look is directed towards minimalism.
Design with triangles can be taken as the basis of different manicure techniques. For example, in this way you can beat the French. Jeff Pink, who created a traditional French manicure, would probably be very surprised today, because if earlier only the overgrown part of the nail was indicated by contrast, then due to triangles today you can designate a smile in completely different ways, varying its height and width. Today, the masters have already appeared the term "triangular jacket."
In addition to the French, you can use triangles in the lunar manicure and gradient. Wells created by means of geometric shapes can be very diverse: single, double and so on. Given today's negative space technique, they may not have pigment at all. Sometimes triangles are drawn on top of semicircular holes.The gradient can be performed not only with one large figure - due to stencils, you can decorate the accent of manicure with several triangles.
The form
The triangular design is suitable for nails of various shapes. An experienced master will be able to ennoble the nail plates of different lengths and various shapes with a cut edge. The only thing that may be some limitation is the unnecessarily long length and sharpness of the nails, characteristic of well-known stilettos. On such nails, the triangles will look somewhat aggressive. In addition, they will visually lengthen the already large length.
Narrow and tall triangles can visually enrich short nailsTherefore, such a design for them will be one of the best. However, the design should be deliberate, because instead of visual lengthening, you can shorten the nails. It is desirable to arrange such figures at the base of the nail plates. It is undesirable to make a jacket from triangles on short nails, since this can emphasize insufficient length and visually expand the plate itself.
Varieties of material
On the oval shape, you can make absolutely any triangular designs, from simple triangles at the base to a varied pattern of small triangles. This is an excellent base for a service jacket, which can be created using two rectangular triangles, drawing one on top of the other with a slight shift. In addition, you can use templates for French manicure and decorate oval nails with a white arc with an open triangle in its center.
Triangular geometric shapes on straight, round and almond-shaped nails look great. For each of them, you can choose your own design options that will refine the female image. For example, you can visually give your fingers elegance by drawing a small triangle at the base of the nail and drawing a thin straight line from its top to the edge. Flat nail plates can be made more attractive by drawing an elongated triangle and adding gold or silver stripes to the sides.
Various types of coatings can be used for design with triangles. Given the rich list of modern materials, it is better to choose hybrid varnishes that combine the qualities of a gel and varnish at the same time. They do not smell, hold on to nails for a long time, they always look fresh and often do not need to be adjusted for two weeks.
For the base and the triangles themselves, you can use matte and glossy gel varnishes with good pigmentation. In addition, you can draw geometric shapes with special manicure gel paints. They are easy to use, dry, like hybrid varnishes, in a special lamp and stay on your nails for as long. In addition, triangles can be decorated with pearlescent, magnetic and neon varnishes.
What is the best way to do it?
Today design with triangles is performed differently. Masters with great experience can draw triangles without any auxiliary elements. However, if identical shapes are needed in the design, you can resort to special disposable patterns or stripes. They are glued to the nails, then they fill the necessary part with the color chosen for the design and are immediately removed, and then the nail is dried.
You can use foil tape of different widths and colors to create the desired pattern. It is inexpensive, but it can be used as an auxiliary tool for creating design, as well as as a permanent decorative element. It cannot be said that it is simple to work with it, since it is not always cleaned up perfectly, you have to correct the drawing, in some places trim the lines.
However, the best way to create a more professional drawing is still the option using auxiliary templates. This is especially important when performing the same triangles in a triangular jacket and moon manicure.If the template does not fit the intended design, it remains to use the stripes or paint the figures manually.
Color schemes
The best tones of triangles that experienced craftsmen use for design are today considered gold, silver, black, white and dark red. The basis of manicure can be the most diverse. At the same time, it is important that the geometric design stands out against the general background and does not merge with it into a single spot. For this, you can use a different outline stroke (for example, gold or silver).
The current background color today is:
- black or white;
- Marsala or coral;
- mint or turquoise;
- pearl blue or pearl pink;
- a combination of blue and pink;
- pistachio or khaki;
- purple or lilac;
- dark blue or emerald.
How to design beautifully?
Accustomed to the obligatory decoration of manicure, sometimes a laconic accent seems a little to us. It seems that a simple solution is not able to distinguish a woman from the crowd. However, in order for the design to acquire a certain status, it is necessary to know the errors and the basic rules that guide professionals in the field of "nail art". For example, errors include:
- the implementation of the same pattern on all ten fingernails;
- the use of varnish or helium paint with poor pigmentation;
- combination of geometric design with folk themes;
- uneven lines or contours of geometric shapes;
- different triangles in several accents;
- drawing in one direction on both hands;
- use in design of more than four contrasting tones;
- alternating print through the nail.
In addition, an important nuance must be taken into account: visually, triangles, if there are more than one in the design, should have the same height. This can complicate the shape of the nails themselves, because, for example, the little finger and the middle finger almost always look different. In order not to suffer with alignment of the height of the figure, it is better to make a design on any one nail. For example, today it is considered an ideal design with plain nails and an emphasis on the ring finger. So you don’t need to equalize anything, much less limit yourself in choosing a triangle shape.
Do not make triangles in black on a light basis: it looks kutse.
They will look much better in a gold version, located on a black background. You can refine the design by means of a matte varnish of the main background or a top with a matting effect. When drying in a lamp, the coating changes the gloss in a matter of seconds to a noble velvety type of texture.
It is worth taking note of another rule of the masters: the edges of the figure should be clear, and the plate at the cuticle area should be painted as close as possible.
Since it is problematic to make it a regular brush from a bottle, you need to use a thin brush for hand painting. She let down the background when staining and preparing for the design, and then paint the corners of the triangles.
Contrast rule for different color combinations. Indeed, light figures look better on a dark background, but it all depends on the location and shape of the element itself. For example, if it is a jacket, it can be either light with a dark base, or dark, or even gradient. When the triangle is located at the base of the nail and it has an elongated narrow shape, it is better to choose a light color for it.
