Which manicure to choose - each woman decides for herself. Whether it is a neat jacket, acceptable with any dress code, or a crazy design with "dragon scales", rubs, rhinestones and sparkles - it all depends on personal preferences. Of course, the red color of the varnish - something that never goes out of style, is always relevant and attractive. However, it is not necessary to be limited only to this color on the nails. It can be combined with other shades, and today we will talk about such a combination as red and white manicure.
Combination Features
The combination of red and white colors on the nails is very bright, contrasting and noticeable. Many people make such manicures in spring or summer, when the time comes for dresses of all colors of the rainbow, nature itself blossoms, and I want as many pure colors as possible. However, no one forbids wearing red-white nails at any other time of the year, there would be a desire.
Popular Techniques
The first thing that comes to mind when saying “red-white manicure” is, of course, hearts. Such a design is unusually popular on Valentine's Day - large and small red hearts on a white background. You can draw or paste hearts on all nails, or you can select a few, making the rest white or red.
“Lunar” manicure in these colors is also very interesting: the white hole and scarlet varnish look original, especially if you make a “shadow” color on several nails, changing the shades of the hole and the main coating. You can also apply a combination of lunar manicure with a French jacket, highlighting two “holes” on each nail.Snow-white holes on scarlet nails can look minimalistic and at the same time original, giving an additional chic to its owner.
A “jacket” with a red “smile” and a snow-white nail will look very original. Monograms are equally attractive, regardless of which of the two tones is the main one. The monogram on the matte finish looks very fresh and fashionable. You can do white monogram painting in the French style on a red jacket.
Trendy last summer and the fall of the geometry on the nails can also be maintained in the specified color scheme. Strokes can be either subtle, thin, or wide, clearly defined.
A gradient that was fashionable last season (or, as it is often called, an ombre) does not lose its relevance now, but it is customary to combine it with other techniques. For example, two fingernails are accented using a gradient, the rest are left plain. A matte coating can be put on top of the gradient, then the general appearance will become even more original. In addition, on a nail decorated using the ombre technique, you can apply a strip of sequins or a combination of rhinestones, making it a “king-nail”.
What styles are in fashion?
In 2019, long nails triumphantly returned to nail fashion. For some, this news is good, for someone it’s not very, since nails in the form of lances, stylet or pointe shoes are not very convenient in everyday life. However, the fact that long nails are at the cutting edge of fashion does not mean that short nails left her.
For lovers of nail art, there is another good news - everything is still fashionable: kamifubuki, "dragon scales", geometry, monograms, as well as a combination of all this grandeur. Any design with rhinestones makes the hands more visible, enhances the effect of the used patterns and patterns. The cat-eye, which has been so popular for several years, is no longer used solo, it is fashionable to use it as a basis for other types of design.
Contrast of matte and glossy coatings, imitation of knitting and drops on nails, 3D effects, stamping, sliders also do not go anywhere. They are still used both solo and in combination with each other and other design techniques.
Another interesting trend in nail fashion is minimalism. This does not mean that the complete absence of manicure and varnish is becoming relevant. New minimalism is, for example, a geometric pattern on a “bare” nail, on which only a transparent coating is applied. In addition, the most “advanced” nail bloggers suggest trying on manicures in which, for example, only the nail hole or part of it is painted over. If the coating is combined with the general style of a person’s clothing, it can look very fashionable and original.
“Marble” manicure has come into fashion recently and is still very popular., especially if it is of high quality. A marbled pattern is applied to several nails, others are left plain or other coating techniques are used.
In the presence of any coating of nails (and even in its complete absence), the hands should be well-groomed - and this is the main trend. Bitten nails, burrs, peeling, stratification of nail plates are unacceptable - in our age of high technology, hands can and should be looked after.
Drawings and stones
The combination of red and white varnishes can be different, there are no problems choosing the one you want, no matter what time of the year it is outside the window. You can draw ideas from everywhere - inspired by the scenery outside the window or still life on the table, visiting the museum, watching a movie ...
In winter, a manicure looks very nice, where part of the nails is covered with red glossy varnish, and the rest is marked in the form of snow-covered branches of mountain ash. As a rule, the most fashionable designs combine several techniques, therefore, to add originality, we use the layout of rhinestones, a gradient, and a convex pattern. For greater "elegance" you can use strips or interspersed with "gold", then the hands will be truly shiny.Rowan berries can not be drawn, but laid out from large rhinestones of the corresponding color.
Another “New Year's” design is Santa Claus hat. If the Christmas spirit is not felt, you can bring it closer, including applying themed drawings on the nails. Well and, of course, white snowflakes, without which not a single winter design is complete. Against a scarlet background, they look especially festive, and if they are decorated with a generous portion of silver, they will not want to remove such a coating for a very long time.
Fir-trees, New Year’s houses, snowdrifts painted in white - it’s pre-holiday manicures that can become a real masterpiece. Shiny balls for the Christmas tree, sprinkled with white sequins or laid out with scarlet "broths", will make a woman a real star of the New Year's party.
And cozy “knitted” nails - a real hit of last year’s winter - will be relevant and current, because it is actually beautiful.
In the spring, every girl would rather like warmth, flowers, bright colors, which is why a red and white floral manicure will be a great solution. Bright scarlet flowers painted on a white background - these can be fantasy, as well as quite real ones, for example, poppies, tulips or roses - will be a wonderful addition to the bright spring cloak and will create a festive mood on the eve of March 8.
In the summer, for such a juicy combination, a real expanse - you can draw cherries, strawberries, and even watermelon slices. In such manicures, the third color is often involved - green. Summer is the time for pure saturated colors, and when, if not in the 3 most beloved months of all, to experiment with coating on the nails?
In autumn, you can include in the combination of red and white the so-called shades of the crop - a thick dark orange, ocher, burgundy and create a rich abstraction on the nails. And you can draw merry ladybugs and extend the summer.
Red and white geometry is beautiful at any time of the year. You can apply strips of both colors on a “bare” nail, you can put a scarlet pattern on a snow-white background or vice versa. You can add a small amount of black stripes, this will give some rigor to the coating. Such a manicure is suitable for the office, and for less formal events. You just need to remember that the jewelry for the geometric coating should be selected appropriate, however, this applies to any design on the nails.
If you don’t want seriousness, but, on the contrary, have a desire to play and play a fool, designs like hearts, kisses, stilettos, feathers, balloons, lollipops and ice cream are at your service - and all this is magnificent in two main colors - red and white. For the most lovers, you can add the appropriate inscriptions: Love you or something like that. Young ladies can even afford to draw Mickey Mouse if they want to feel at Disneyland.
Polka dots are another playful design that shades hands very well. You can scatter peas on all fingers, you can select 2 or 4, it all depends on your imagination. Such a manicure is ideal for a pin-up or rock-and-roll party. It is only necessary to put on a magnificent dress, wind the curls, draw arrows on the eyes, and make up the lips with bright red lipstick.
Matte and glossy
Not so long ago, a matte finish for nail plates came into fashion. However, using it solo, for all 10 fingers, makes a manicure boring and inexpressive. But the combination of several matte nails with a design or a rub on others draws attention to the hands and makes them one of the key components of the image.
If we talk about the combination of haze and gloss in a red-white manicure, one of the most popular designs should be noted - these are snow-white monograms (often poured with sand) on a matte scarlet background. This pattern looks very noble and elegant.
The very combination of matte and glossy coating remains relevant in the coming season, however, acquiring nuances in the application.
