Red manicure does not go out of fashion, as it is a classic. It first became popular in the 60s of the last century. Today, a lot of techniques and options for its execution have appeared, among which each woman will choose something for herself.

One of the most popular shades of red can be called scarlet, moraine, solferino, scarlet. They all sound complicated, but they look just amazing.

Coral and ruby ​​do not go out of fashion, they are used both in a monotonous version, and in combination with other colors. Sangria and thiacin well emphasize the ideal shape of the nail plate, they can dilute other tones of red when designing, for example, a gradient. But carrot should be chosen with caution, since a woman using it in manicure must be sure of her well-groomed hands. This color is more suitable for young girls, because it emphasizes age-related skin changes.

The richness of red shades can not be overestimated, such a diverse palette allows you to make a manicure special, provides rich soil for imagination. All colors look good both in glossy and matte.

A good red manicure with varnish can be done at home yourself, it is enough to study in more detail one of the techniques for its implementation. All of them are easy to learn and offer many decorative options.

Classic involves the use of a single tone. Before applying varnish, you need to prepare your hands. Remove the old coating, tidy the cuticle. Before this, you can steam your nails a little, make a pleasant bath.

If the nail plate is too long, you can trim the nails with the help of special scissors. Do not do this with a nail file, because in this case the nails are injured. They file only the edges, give them the necessary shape and always act in the same direction.

With a classic manicure, and any other, it is worth using a fine-grained file. A tool with large abrasive elements is used for extended nails, because this material is higher in density than natural nails. It is better not to buy metal tools, but to choose a file with a cardboard or glass surface.

The cuticle is removed only well softened. For this, special products are on sale that allow less damage to the skin.

Only after careful preparation can you start applying varnish. It is not so easy to get an even saturated color, it is better to cover the nail with a colorless base for the first time and wait for it to dry completely. You may need several layers of the product, it all depends on the tone chosen by the girl. Each new layer should dry completely.

When applying, you will have to step back from the cuticle and the edges of the nails so as not to stain the skin. It will not be easy to remove inaccuracies without hooking the nail, because red varnish does not wear off so easily and leaves a pinkish tint on the skin. You can cover it with a special additional base to speed up the drying process.

If we talk about the advantage of the classic version, then any girl can do such a manicure. Of course, it may seem very boring, then it is worth using rhinestones or sparkles. As a rule, these are glossy elements. Creating a matte effect is a completely different technique.

Matte design immediately fell in love with fashionistas after its appearance and in the new season did not lose its position. To get this effect, you will need to additionally purchase a special topcoat, which is applied both to the entire nail and to its selected part.

To make the manicure perfect, you must:

• choose the darkest shade of red, for example, cherry or brick;
• as a pattern, choose a simple pattern that will be performed in achromatic color.

Before using the veil technique, it is necessary to create the perfect shape, choose the appropriate length, remove the cuticle and burrs.

The uneven veil looks great when it is applied not to all nails, but only to a few. Lace design provides rich ground for a fantasy flight, but it is important to take advantage of its capabilities. You can use the classic combination of red with black, because these two contrasting colors amazingly emphasize each other.

Lace manicure can be a good addition to any look, but most girls think that creating such a decorative effect on their own is not easy. In fact, there is no need to be a professional artist and be able to own a brush. Today there is a huge amount of modern materials for working with this technique.

Stamping is considered one of the easiest options for how to arrange a lace manicure.This option was mastered by millions of women around the world, and in stores you can easily purchase a simple grid, flowers and other ornaments. The only drawback is the cost, since even the simplest set will cost a thousand rubles.

If you have experience, you can use gel or acrylic paint to create a veil effect, but this is not so simple. To do this, special brushes are sold in stores, you can also take a toothpick or even a gel pen. In this case, there can be no question of the perfection of the picture, since it is difficult to repeat the exact pattern on each nail. On the other hand, each image is unique in its own way.

You can use translated foil, however, you must learn to work with it so that the drawings fit well on the nail. This technique has one drawback - not every varnish can be used. It is necessary that he quickly dry and does not have additional elements in the form of sparkles or confetti. Most often, masters use a special adhesive base, on which the drawing fits well.

Not every girl understands what kind of technique this is, but in fact she is very simple. Its essence is that unpainted areas remain on the nail, for example, French manicure, but only the tip of the nail plate is stained. This also includes lunar design.

This design option is ideal for girls who prefer minimalism and moderation in everything. If everything is done correctly, you get an original and unusual design. There are several ways to make such a manicure yourself at home.

In the first case, you can use a thin brush and a piece of foil. Gel polish is dripped onto the material, collected with a tool and a line is drawn in the middle of the nail. Layer by layer, the area is painted better and better, but each time the material must be dried in a lamp.

You can take a flat brush and cover most of the nail plate. Then take a clean brush, moisten it in a nail polish remover and carefully remove excess. The first layer is also dried and then a new one is applied.

If there are no brushes, you can take tape, stick on both sides of the nail, leaving a free space in the middle. This place will be stained with gel polish or plain varnish. Tapes are removed only after the second or third layer. The edges are smooth without too much effort.

It turns out very beautiful manicure with thermal foil. On already prepared nails, it is necessary to apply a base coat of varnish. Precisely because the decor is formed by using thermal film, there should be no defects or bumps on the nail plate. The base is applied not in one but in two layers to achieve a uniform shade. The sticky layer can be removed with a special degreaser.

Until the middle, one of the parts is covered with the previously described method, glued to the defatted surface of the thermofoil. In order for the drawing to lie evenly, a piece of material should be slightly larger in size than the length and width of the nail. Before use, the sticker is slightly warmed, for this you can use a lamp. The film is stretched, and its excess is removed with tweezers. A control layer of colorless varnish is applied on top.

One of the most relevant today is the design using acrylic powder. Polymer powder was previously used in dentistry to restore tooth enamel. Possessing amazing properties, he pleased the masters of manicure and pedicure. Experts have slightly modified the formula so that the powder can be used on nails without harm to them.

In nail art, velvet sand, or powder, is a good alternative to this artificial material. On sale today you can find five types of acrylic powder. Transparent is necessary for nail extension and applying varnish on them.It perfectly strengthens the manicure and increases its resistance to negative factors.

At home, it is easy to independently create an attractive manicure using this material. To make everything come out as intended, the drawing is placed on the gel, since it gives the desired texture and volume.

At the first stage, the nails are prepared, that is, they are freed from the old varnish, filed. The cuticle and burrs are removed, and the nail plate is finally degreased. For this, special products are on sale, but you can take a simple cotton swab and alcohol.

A base coat or primer is applied under the varnish, which must dry well. The next coat of varnish is dried for several minutes under the lamp. Another layer is applied, but now on top of it immediately apply the image using gel polish and a thin brush. The woman herself decides which pattern will look better on her red nails. The powder can be applied immediately, then the nails are again immersed under the lamp and wait until the coating is completely dry. But there is another option.

When the drawing is applied to a coating that has not yet dried, it is placed under the lamp for complete drying. This is followed by a layer of top and drying again. At the next stage, the nail is polished, which will allow you to save the pattern longer. The image is drawn again and sprinkled with powder, sent to dry. Everything is ready.

Choosing the right shape for a red manicure will make it even more attractive. It can be oval, square, round and pointed in shape. Previously, all women sought to change the length and correct natural nails to fit the fashion, today, in the first place, naturalness, therefore, what nature endowed the woman with, only need to be slightly adjusted.

Oval nails are able to visually lengthen the fingers, make the brush graceful. They look great on the hands of thin women.

Round ones look good only if they repeat the cuticle bend. This is the best option for a shortened version of manicure. This form is best done by girls who lead an active lifestyle, since manicure does not interfere with everyday affairs. Nails in this design break less.

There was a time when square manicure was considered the most popular, but it is very brittle, especially if the nail plate is long. Short ones are suitable only for girls who have thin fingers, but at the same time it is an ideal format for French manicure.

The most uncomfortable and impractical are pointed nails. On the one hand, this is a large area for creating a picture, on the other hand, even a finger can be easily broken and damaged. For this reason, for everyday life, fewer women decide to stop at such a manicure.

In choosing the perfect shape, much depends on the fingers. If the nail plate is wide, it is best to give preference to round nails, but the length should not be too long. The same rule applies to those women who have thick fingers. If you do not listen and make a square shape, then your hands will become massive, rude.

If your fingers are thin and long, then you should choose a square manicure. Regardless of the design, it will look neat, but provided that the tips are rounded. The presence of sharp corners leads to the fact that the fingers constantly cling to something, the nail plate suffers, as a result, it simply flakes and breaks off.

If a girl has very small nails by nature, then you should pay attention to the oval shape, which will help to visually increase them. She looks good on full arms, but by no means a pointed form.

There are many options for how to decorate your fingers, but red manicure always sets off a woman, gives her personality, and shows courage. Regardless of the shape and length, this color creates a feeling of well-groomed hands, although it is sometimes boring to use the monochrome version, so it is so important to know what colors this shade can be combined with.

It looks very beautiful red with black, and it doesn’t matter which color is the main one, as they complement each other perfectly. It is better to use graphical markup. All sorts of stencils can help. Specialists in the field of nail care do not recommend painting over the cuticle. The tone is applied without gaps, only then red looks elegantly.

Only after the base has completely dried out can lines be applied with black varnish through the stencil. Paper is removed only after the layer has completely dried. The result is transparent varnish.

The gradient looks unusual and fashionable, but to do it yourself, you will have to try a little and learn how to blend the varnish with a sponge. You can do this right away on the nail plate or first blot the sponge, and then form a manicure.

But not only black contrasts beautifully with red. You can use white in a huge variety of its tones. Chinese painting and floral theme look great. 3D compositions are created on the nails, the ombre is good, you can use powder.

Surprisingly solemnly looks red with gold. You can mix two varnishes or create some additional decorative elements with them. Recently, shellac is gaining more and more popularity. On a red background, the gold decor looks concise, but defiant. However, with this combination, stylists advise working carefully:

• the background should not be bright red, because dark shades look better and do not catch the eye;
• pay special attention to the shape, which should be either ellipsoidal or almond-shaped;
• silver jewelry is absolutely not suitable for such a manicure;
• It’s good if the background is matted.

Silver and red have their own “love story”, in combination, these two colors can look gentle and not defiant. Rubbing a pearl tone looks good, you can make a silver jacket or apply a pattern to your nails with a thin brush.

If you plan to use sparkles as a decorative decoration, then it would be better if these are the following shades:

• burgundy;
• Dark red;
• purple;
• scarlet.

Oddly enough, but blue and blue can also combine well with red. The idea of ​​such an extravagant manicure came to us from America and has remained popular for more than ten years. Voluminous applications, red jacket, rhinestones and moon manicure look amazing. If you want to make the design as bright as possible, then you need to choose the appropriate shades of these two colors.

With beige, red manicure can also be made solemn, especially if you add gold jewelry to the image. But it is worth remembering that in this case the light shade will be the main one, while the ornament and patterns are best drawn in bright colors.

It is worth saying that the combination of red with a different palette largely depends on the tone and the selected dimming. The basic scheme for selecting the perfect combination is based on the principle of muffling and purity of tone. The most beneficial for this color can be considered:

• beige;
• white;
• brown;
• grey;
• the black.

It looks more attractive with yellow or gold, green and even orange, if we talk about warm contrast.

The natural combination of red and green involves the use of muted almond tones, for example, with a brown addition or pale green. Royal red looks good with the following tones:

• pea;
• olive;
• leafy green;
• chartreuse.

Menthol and mint tones are often found in red manicure, because they can allow you to create an attractive tandem. Some of its most interesting shades are:

• malachite;
• emerald;
• jade;
• neon green.

If you want to make a mysterious and alluring manicure, then you should use a combination of red with purple or lilac, which are related to him and harmoniously flow one into another.

Manicure design in a red palette is a big topic for conversation. One of the most successful options is the moon design, especially if you use a white, silver or gold palette. It looks interesting hole or jacket in black glossy tone.

If boring a simple French manicure, it can be diluted with any shade of red. It will help create a festive look. A super popular trend of the new season is the matte finish, which can be achieved using a special varnish or matte finish.

On any background, a pattern with hearts looks good. Despite the fact that this is a simple decoration option, on the hands of such a manicure with patterns is simply magnificent. It is perfect for romantic natures.

If you want rigor, then classic red is used with the addition of a small amount of rhinestones or a single image. Well damps the brightness of the color white, you can make a gradient or ombre.

A new, but no less interesting technique for applying a veil will help put your nails in order. The border can be drawn in red using a thin brush. I did not like this option and I want something bright, festive - then gold sand or sparkles to help.

Glossy manicure looks good at any length, especially for short nails. You can make the surface mirrored by applying a rub.

Summer nail design is distinguished by the brightness of colors, color saturation, the predominance of floral arrangements. During this period, as in the spring, there is nothing better than decorating your nails in one of the tones of red. It is not necessary to make this color predominant; large patterns can be used. For the summer, you can simply make a red jacket, and under it cover the nail with a gradient.

For example, poppies look impressive and unusual on nails. There are many options for how and where to place them. Ladybugs do not lose popularity, they are suitable for girls bold and original.

In winter, red varnish can be a great idea for painting Santa Claus, garlands or Christmas tree decorations. In autumn, this is an amazing and rich palette for the image of leaf fall.

The latest innovations in modern nail design are the use of fruit motifs. Unusually looks cherry, apples and berries. With a good drawing, they divert attention and make ordinary manicure more interesting.

Only the theme of the card theme. Symbols alternate with each other, change, are located on the nail in different ways. The red-black version looks especially impressive and contrasting.

On a matte manicure, they increasingly began to make a lunar design with a crescent continued down to the end of the nail. This gives the impression that a drop has fallen and rolls down the plate.
