Today, one of the most popular color solutions is the blue jacket, so those who want to do modern manicure should learn more about fashion trends and other nuances, thanks to which you can complement your bow with a stylish and effective design.
Color features
The blue color of the varnish is multifaceted. This allows you to create with its help not only special, but also universal designs that can be used in everyday women's looks. Despite the apparent coldness, the blue color can be different: both cool and completely cold, and warm.
Due to this feature, it can be used in different seasonal solutions, which is especially important for modern manicure.
The desire for seasonality manifests itself in different ways: French can convey belonging to a particular time of the year through the intensity and temperature of a blue tint, as well as due to the print used. At the same time, the blue color of the “smile” is perfectly combined with the natural tones chosen for the base of manicure. The use of nude or bodily background, as the main companion, and explains the harmonious pouring of blue French into most women's outfits.
The shape of nails and "smiles"
If more recently the trend was short nails or sharp, like peaks, stilettos, then today the feminine should prevail. And this means that the priority is moderate length and smoothness of the edge of the nail. The oval, even if elongated, is considered to be the ideal form today. In addition to it, almond-shaped nails and a straight rounded shape on the sides are relevant.
At the same time, the jacket will look great on any of these forms.Considering that today the form of the “smile” itself can be very diverse, picking it up to any shape of the nail plates will not be difficult - it can be traditional arched, straight, in the form of a wave, lightning, diagonal, angle. The width of the "smile" is also different. In addition, today it is fashionable to draw a fantasy “smile” on accented nails, depicting it, for example, in the form of flowers, butterfly wings, leaves, snowflakes.
Common mistakes
Probably every woman will agree that the jacket without an accent looks too simple, even despite the blue color. Therefore, I want to somehow highlight my manicure so that it is special and conveys the desired mood. However, in order not to spoil any idea, it is necessary to note the most common mistakes that visually destroy the expressiveness of manicure. For example, it could be:
- the use of an identical pattern on all ten nails;
- different width or shape of the "smile", different lengths of nails;
- the complexity of the french incompatible decor;
- the acid color of the selected pigment;
- the use of a wide form of "smile" on short nail plates;
- unsuccessful choice of a print or its inept execution;
- piercing nails using volumetric elements;
- bad choice of color contrasts for blue.
Knowing the main mistakes, you can avoid them, thereby preserving the expressiveness and sophistication of manicure. In addition, you need to take into account the style of clothing chosen by the woman, as well as the purpose of the design, since the difference between evening and everyday design is more than noticeable.
You can not ignore the age category of women, as the blue color has the ability to accentuate age-related changes in the skin of the hands.
Design options
The modern blue jacket gives a ton of design possibilities. Despite the seeming limitations, today he may have a different mood and status. For example, the dullness of the pigment is trending. It can be achieved both by using a varnish with a matte effect, and by means of a top with a matte texture. At the same time, you can get the best design by purchasing gel polish with a textile texture (suede, felt, velvety or satin).
For French manicure to be expressive, accents are needed. As a rule, these are nails with classic painting of the entire area, implying decoration to the tone of the overall design concept. Having 7-8 nails made with a "smile", the rest can be:
- decorated with a pattern;
- made using rubbing;
- decorated with acrylic powder or manicure sand;
- marked with stamping;
- decorated with manicure foil;
- decorated with stucco pattern.
In addition, accents can be made on the basis of the chosen jacket.
For example, it could be:
- knotted bow;
- dot pattern;
- web;
- small roses;
- seashells;
- dragonflies or other insects;
- lace and monograms.
You can decorate an accent nail in a blue jacket differently. For example, the accent with the usual “smile” and the main part covered with a contour pattern will look beautiful. It can be flowers, various curls or even plant motifs. In addition, the emphasis can be made with a gradient.
As for the sparkling decor, it can quite adequately adorn a plain accent nail. However, the abundance of rhinestones or crystals, instead of sophistication, can create the illusion of disharmony. Do not sculpt too much shine - it is fraught with vulgarity and does not fit into the tenderness of the jacket.
Color nuances
The colors of the blue jacket will depend on the seasonality of the manicure. Given that the skin color will be chosen as the basis, the remaining contrasts must be selected especially carefully. For example, the blue color looks more tender not with gold, but with silver. White pigment will add softness to the design, while a black tint will add brightness to the blue color.You can paint the base with blue, the “smile” with white, the accents are done using the technique with holes.
Do not pick up flashy tones, as they will kill the tenderness of blue and will distract attention from him. For example, it is undesirable to combine blue with acid orange or poison yellow. Shades must be selected soft and muted. As for the bright contrasts, their number in the design should be minimal, otherwise the jacket from blue may turn into the color of the selected contrast.
Recommendations
So that the blue jacket on the nails looks beautiful and dignified and completes the female image, It’s worth noting a few recommendations.
- You should not use more than 3-4 contrasting shades in the design.
- For harmonious design, you can pick up drawings in related tones of blue.
- You should not clone a drawing completely - it should at least be slightly different.
- It is easier for prints to use stamping and stickers. You can also use disposable adhesive stencils.
- Drawings should correspond to seasonality and fashion. Today the trend is the wet technique of creating roses.
As for the best prints, they are different for each season. The trend is acrylic snowflakes, snow-covered leaves, drops created by a top or a transparent modeling gel. For autumn, you can choose prints in the rain, use the stickers of the autumn city in cold colors. An imitation of snow created on the edge of an accent nail with acrylic sand will not be out of place. Super popular lace and geometric themes.
