Winter manicure: design options and fashion trends

With the advent of winter, I want to complement my image with an unusual and special manicure. Modern women of fashion are in constant search for fresh ideas that meet the trends of the latest trends in nail art. Trying to keep abreast of stylish design, they often create a lot of chic designs. Given the seasonal look at nail design, let's touch the beautiful and get familiar with what is now fashionable, note the best design options for winter manicure, because winter will not take long.

Winter manicure is noteworthy in that, along with the ability to decorate the fingers, he can successfully complete the female winter look. Recently, winter nail design has acquired a few peculiar cliches in its design (for example, knitted decor). Despite the fact that masters of manicure try to move away from those that have already become classic designs, not all women are ready to abandon the unusual look and relief of this picture. Therefore, stylists offer to make accents in design using various nail materials that allow a woman to show her personality and stand out from the crowd.

This should be reflected in the choice of color schemes, decoration ideas and selection of design for a specific image. For example, the same knitted print on the nails can be completely different if it can be done with modeling gel or acrylic sand, powder. Not only the pattern of the knitted fabric or its texture may differ, but also the color, as well as the style of the design.If in one case the entire area of ​​the nail plate is used for decoration, then in the other it is a small part that allows the accent to be more expressive.

There are several points that distinguish winter nail design from other seasonal techniques. For example, it can be the use of traditional themes of prints and patterns. A variety of snowflakes, frosty patterns, snowy nails quite eloquently indicate that the design belongs to the winter image. And also brightly indicate the winter nature of the manicure in cold tones, selected shades of varnish for decoration. No less expressive and sparkling decorative elements symbolizing frozen frosts on nails.

Choose shades of varnishes today in such a way as to demonstrate even the current month of the year. For example, for early winter it can be tones of bare ground and decor depicting a snow path. The best solutions in this case are the following color combinations:

• blue and taupe;
• white, light gray and brown;
• beige, gray and white;
• swamp green, brown and light gray;
• gray, black and white.

For the middle of the winter period, colors change, elegant festive appear, to which a lot of decor is appropriate, which is appropriate in elegant images. For example, combinations such as:

• dark red with white and gold;
• pink gray with silver and white;
• Marsala with dark turquoise and white;
• white with red and emerald;

• nude with bright blue and white;
• turquoise with nude and silver;
• purple with gray and white;
• burgundy with white, gray-blue and black;
• red with black and blue.

When winter begins to recede, the colors of early spring are added to the usual bright and calm tones. The main white color may be added a shade of light mint, delicate turquoise. Violet color can be replaced by cool lilac, gray-blue, gray-blue or warm blue.

Today it is important that the nails look in the design not only well-groomed, but also beautiful. In this case, the choice of decor should be treated thoroughly, because what is allowed for the summer may not be appropriate for the winter season. For example, if you plan to decorate the accents of manicure with drawings using the technique of artistic painting, it is important to consider the possibilities of the master. The image on the nails should look beautiful and professional, because otherwise it would seem that the child was drawing on the nails. If there are no drawing skills, it is better to resort to stickers with which you can stretch any design appearance today, since it is easier to create something beautiful and stylish, and it will also take a little time.

Of all the variety, decals can be distinguished, which do not have volume, but are distinguished by high accuracy of the picture. As for their subjects, you can move away from the usual stereotypes in the form of bullfinches, snowmen, deer or other winter paraphernalia, and rely on the cold tones of the picture. For example, the following images will look beautiful in winter design:

• dream Catcher;
• watercolor wolf or fox;
• cat in the snow;
• winter landscape;

• branches with snowy clusters of mountain ash;
• knitted pattern in contrasting colors;
• snowy spruce branches;
• frozen glass.

In this case, ethnic ornaments and geometric patterns will also look harmonious. However, in order for the decoration to look stylish and effective, you will have to combine different textures of the varnishes used. For example, glossy lace on a matte background looks expensive and spectacular, an imitation of a snow pattern made with powder. In this case, the second accent nail can be decorated with a beautiful sticker or hand-painted.

Regarding kawaii or pretty drawings, it is worth noting that these are images for a certain circle of girls. In addition to the fact that they significantly limit the selection of clothes, such designs oblige to a specific style and age. For example, a Teddy bear in a knitted hat on the nails of a forty-year-old woman will look comical, like a snowman or a funny grandfather Frost. In this case, the best solution would be one voluminous snowflake, decorated with powder or gloss.

When working with stamping, it is important not to overdo it with color. Of course, ideally for winter design it is worth using silver or white. However, there are times when you need to paint a pattern transferred from a metal plate to a roller.

It is worth noting a few starting points that you can rely on in the choice of a particular winter manicure design for this season.

• The form. If natural plates are initially short, they should be slightly corrected at least to medium length. So, the print on accents will be more pronounced, and the manicure will look better. You can choose from three trends: amygdala, medium oval or sawn in the shape of a trapezoid. For short nails, it is better to choose dark tones of varnish, longer ones should be done with light colors of the color palette.

• Varieties of material. To make the best winter manicure, it is worth choosing coatings with a matte, glossy texture. In addition to them, glitter options, gold, silver, temperature and chameleon varnish products are well suited for design. The traditional "cat's eye", as well as jelly varnishes are in fashion. Mirror varnishes today are inferior to options with a pearl effect.

• Type of manicure. You can choose absolutely any, today there are no special priorities. Among the best, in addition to the classical technique, include French, moon manicure and gradient. At the same time, you can move away from the usual stereotypes and not only slightly modify the design data, but also combine them with each other. You can make the main design classic, and accents can be made using the French technique or design with holes.

• Colors. You need to choose tones based on the characteristics of the things in your wardrobe. It is impossible for the pigment tone to completely match the color of the clothes, as this simplifies the female image. However, related paints will be very helpful: any design will harmoniously complement your bow without screaming about yourself. If you do not want to have related combinations, you should rely on the color of accessories. It can be a bag, a scarf, jewelry.

• Decor Whatever you choose, dose the decoration. Decor on all nails of a manicure will not look beautiful. This is not only old-fashioned, but also prevents accents from being expressive. In addition, if the abundance is still somehow understandable for the New Year's design of nails, for everyday onions it will be too catchy.

Winter manicure can be performed in the following methods:

• classic;
• French;
• reverse jacket;
• gradient;
• design with holes;

• broken glass;
• veil;
• sand;
• newspaper;
• rub.

Each technique is unique in its own way and allows you to create truly masterpiece designs, if you perform them taking into account the reasonableness of each nuance. For example, the classic is the basis for almost all known techniques. Solid nails can be complemented with a smile, forming a jacket, a stroke at the cuticle area, getting an inverted jacket. This is an excellent basis for accent nails for their decoration. French in the classical sense can also be one of the best winter design techniques. A translucent base with a bright smile can today be thin, wide to the full, straight, rounded, diagonal. The drawings on the french look especially gentle, giving the winter manicure lightness and even some crystal.

The same can be said about the lunar method of performing manicure. However, if earlier the holes were predominantly round, then today they are performed with imitation of an extended nail. In this case, the hole may resemble an elongated or classic triangle, or even a crescent. Sometimes it is very small, has either a thin secondary arch or is connected with an oval coating, for example, a small rhinestone. Gradient for winter manicure is a great way to demonstrate snow-covered nail art. At the same time, the ombre effect today can be not only familiar from the cuticle up, but also stretching transversely between the side rollers. It becomes a good background for decoration, especially if it is done in traditional bluish-blue tones of the color palette.

Veil or kapron design is one of the trashs of the new season. If until recently, kapron technology implied drawings in the tone of a translucent base, then today a single translucent background can be enough in a design. Moreover, you can make the background black or dark blue veil, and on top of it draw a vertical strip in the center of which to place the decor. Such a manicure will not go unnoticed, it will be not only stylish, but also trendy. The technique of broken glass is the best way to demonstrate fragments of frozen water. They make this design due to manicure film.

Acrylic powder and rubbing today are favorite materials for decorating accent nails. In this case, it is better to create patterns with powder than sprinkle it on the entire nail. The rubbing is unique in that with a different degree of rubbing it gives a different effect. It can be used to decorate elegant bows, using, for example, the “flakes” subspecies in the place where the jacket smiles, thus creating the effect of rising champagne bubbles. Flakes look beautiful and as an alternative to multi-colored confetti.

So that the manicure is not only beautiful, but also consistent with fashion trends, It is worth noting a few relevant tricks that professionals in the field of nail industry choose.

• Performing the reverse jacket, on one of the nail plates you can select the cuticle area. The line can be thin contour, it can be performed symmetrically, asymmetrically or even to the top edge. You can use for this as a contrasting gel polish, and acrylic gel paint, gold, silver, rhinestones, foil.

• When building nails, it is better to use materials that are as close as possible in color to the natural tone of the nail plates. An excellent choice would be a modeling gel with a transparent texture, which will reveal the beauty of nails using the negative space technique.

• If you want to stand out from the crowd, you can use rhinestones, but pointwise, with proportions and a combination of different textures of varnish materials. This will allow you to get a truly stylish design, avoiding vulgarity and inappropriate. For example, you can place one rhinestone at the base of the nail, made in a geometric style, as a link between the two contrasting colors of the varnishes used.

• In order not to look like a magpie, it is worth limiting the abundance of brilliance. Pollen, which today is used instead of many shimmer varnishes, will make it possible to introduce special and status notes into the design. However, it is important to consider that mirror powders are no longer as popular as pearl dust. Today they use snow-white pearl rubbing not only models at the catwalk shows, but also celebrities.

• On the crest of the wave is a foil decor. With all its diversity, options with the coldness of metal are suitable for winter.To look beautiful, it is better to use it randomly or in an island way, covering small areas of the nail. No less popular today is foil in the form of adhesive tape.

• Logomania has become one of the new trends. In order for a manicure with brand logos to be successfully combined with a female image, you should bet on the main background. In this case, nothing is better for decor than ready-made stickers, and some of them provide for further decoration with rhinestones or glitter. At the same time, this design is especially in demand among fans of sports styles.

• Those who like Japanese kamifubuki decor can decorate them with accent manicure nails. However, today the choice of shades of multi-colored confetti needs to be approached thoroughly, so that instead of a stylish design of nails you do not achieve the effect of an elegant Christmas tree. For example, kamifubuki on a matte vertical strip bordered on two sides of the nail with a veil will look super beautiful.

It is worth considering several types of design that clearly demonstrate the relevance of a particular design of nails in a particular style of clothing.

• Such a design is able to successfully complement the casual bow of a romantic nature. With the lightness of design and the tenderness of blue, it will bring a sense of sophistication to the style.
• This option will appeal to fans of kawaii trends in clothing. The style of a cute girl, Japanese Lolita, would be the best option for such a manicure. In addition, this design will suit fans of the decor style.

• Ethnic design can complement the image of the Scandinavian style. When using a knitted fabric pattern, a feeling of warmth and harmony is created. This manicure can be worn with casual clothes of a non-trivial style, as well as with a warm sweater.
• Bright manicure with lace and snowflakes on accent nails conveys the cold of winter and fits perfectly into the style of a new bow, as well as the image of shabby chic with its inherent touch of vintage and incredible femininity. A similar decor for a female image in the Art Deco style, which prefers bright and effective additions to any outfit, will be harmonious.

• This design is good in that it emphasizes the accents and uses three types of texture of varnish. With all this, he is very feminine and can decorate both the eclectic style with his characteristic mixture of different textures and contrasting accessories, and fusion who likes to combine different stylistic trends in clothes.
• This design of nails is appropriate in the bow of a fantasy girl, and the combination of different shades and textures with sparkles will only be on hand.

• A french-based design with depicted snowy branches of berries can complement the onion soft neutral. The maximum naturalness that distinguishes this direction of clothing will be harmoniously emphasized by the design of nails for the negative space technique.
• The geometric design can be entered into the trash style, striving for extravagance and sometimes needing to soften an extraordinary bow. You can complete this design and the European style, emphasizing its practicality and sophistication.
