Manicure in blue tones: design features and fashion ideas

The most airy and refreshing is considered to be a manicure in blue tones. Nail design in the colors of the sky and the ocean is relevant in any season, because it looks gentle and elegant. In addition, such a manicure is suitable for almost all the looks and styles of clothing: it can be worn with both a light dress and jeans.

Soft blue and sky tones are most often chosen for a relaxed "nail art". Thanks to such ethereal shades, you can create a beautiful design that will look spectacular not only on long almond nails, but also on short ones with a square shape. Thanks to the artistic decor, blue tones allow you to originally emphasize the creativity of the girl.

To date, several shades of blue are very popular.

• Turquoise. It is a rich combination that combines a palette of blue and green. Turquoise is a summer tone, therefore, as a rule, those beauties who plan to go on vacation on the sea, as it usually looks great on the background of sea waves, choose it for nails.

• Blue blue. Associated with peace of mind and harmony. Ideal with all colors of the palette.

• Blue gray. It is a neutral shade that is well suited for creating autumn manicure. It can be mixed with different light and contrasting tones, giving the manicure a special look.

To get an unusual nail design, masters prefer to combine blue with other shades of the color scheme. A great choice are compositions made in pink and blue colors.They are in great demand in spring and summer, they look great in everyday and evening looks. You can also dilute the “heavenly” manicure with pink colors in the fall: they will help to hide the atmosphere of dullness caused by cloudy days and cold. Delicate design is recommended to decorate with graphic patterns and drawings in the form of flowers.

A combination of airy color with white is a win-win option. This "nail art" is universal, as it can be used at any time of the year. At the same time, images of animals and snowflakes should prevail in the decor in the spring, drawings in the form of birds, feathers and lace ornaments should prevail in the spring, while in the summer it is recommended to decorate the nails with a marine theme, giving preference to compositions in the form of sea inhabitants, anchors and boats.

For a casual look, mixing blue with beige is considered good. The result is a discreet and simple manicure that emphasizes the elegance and sophistication of the girl. For bright personalities, it is necessary to choose a duet of contrasting shades. So, for example, cornflower blue and black colors emphasize the chic outfit. This combination of palette can be diluted with smooth lines and graphics.

Modern versions of "nail art" are striking in their huge selection, therefore, in addition to painting, it is recommended to decorate blue manicure with other decorative elements. Of particular note is the design presented by the ombre and jacket. Of course, in this version of the service it will be difficult to call a classic, but it will look elegant and gentle. To create a stylish ombre, you need to use a white and pink background. If you choose purple and yellow, you get a "color explosion", which is well suited for an evening look.

No less interesting design of nails is the moon manicure with a bluish jacket. Transparent wells in this case can be made in the form of hearts or a crescent. This is a practical type of manicure in which there are no clear boundaries, so even after the growth of the nail plate, the design will not lose its attractiveness.

The most popular among fashionistas is a blue manicure with a rub. Thanks to the correct game with shades, you can create a real "space effect" with unusual tints. A pearl rubbing gently envelops the nails in a silky or satin veil, a rainbow-colored one will fill the design with a double overflow and give it mystery, and a mirror chrome pigment will emphasize the main details of the decor.

Sky shades will become even more light and airy if you use a matte tone for coating. To emphasize the beauty of marigolds with brilliant contrast, the masters recommend combining a glossy finish and a mirror rub in a manicure. In addition, as an additional decoration, you can use rhinestones, foil and sparkles, which on a matte blue background will look amazing.

Recently, shiny decor has been in fashion, for many it has been associated with a bright image and a solemn mood, but it is worth noting that such a combination of blue and pastel colors is suitable for everyday life, giving the girl a certain piquancy. The main thing is not to go too far in design with the number of sparkles and rhinestones, choosing original ways of their calculation.

On a blue basis, the decor from pieces of foil having different colors also looks great. An interesting solution is such a manicure with gold and silver foil, thanks to which the nails acquire chic and luxury. Many masters are not afraid of experiments and create a blue design using not a lacquer coating, but a metalized foil of heavenly color.

As for the sparkles, lately sequins of various sizes and shapes are in fashion, they are considered the main decor in blue manicure. Shiny silver elements beautifully emphasize the delicate tone of the coating.No less interesting are the compositions with gold and pink sparkles. They can be strewn with a nail in the form of both a pattern and stripes.

Many representatives of the fair sex often encounter a problem in choosing the style of manicure, since the general image depends on it in many ways. Today there is a gorgeous selection of design ideas with which you can adequately decorate the nails. Especially popular this season is just a manicure using a blue palette, which can be decorated using various color schemes and decorative elements.

• With gold and silver. For such a design, it is desirable to choose a light background, and the decor should be carried out in saturated colors. Silver and golden foil patterns look interesting: they are laid out on top on a blue base. In addition, the decor can be made in the form of the moon and “smiles”, emphasizing them with a light gloss. A striking performance will be graphic patterns made of foil. If girls like sparkles, it is recommended to replace the foil with golden or silver sparkles, laying them on the free edge of the nail.

• Matte texture. It is considered a real trend this season and is in great demand not only in manicure, but also in makeup. The matte finish looks both elegant and austere. It requires perfect nails. A similar design is created both with the help of a special varnish-gel, which, after drying, loses its gloss effect, and with the use of velvet spraying in the form of a fine sand. Since the matte finish is devoid of color overflow and shine, it is suitable only for well-groomed and healthy nails: the slightest defects and irregularities on the nail plate can be noticeable and ruin the whole effect of manicure.

• The combination of blue with blue, yellow, white and pink colors. Such combinations have brightness and tenderness. Choosing a blue and yellow color for manicure, you can get an unusual and expressive image. To emphasize the romance of the young beauty, a heavenly shade is recommended to be mixed with pink. In this design, you can paint as all the nails, dividing the palette in the middle of a vertical strip, or through one.

• With drawing. Drawing original images on a blue background is considered a real work of art, which requires the master to have certain skills. Most often, simple small patterns are chosen for such a design, and more detailed and complex pictures can also be drawn. The blue background in this case is used both matte and glossy. In order not to overload the manicure with painting, it is necessary to decorate one or two nails, and leave the rest “clean”.
