Even lovers of pastel French and nude shades sometimes feel a desire to make a bright, literally screaming, but not vulgar manicure. For this case, a combination of red and gold colors is best. Red in itself is considered a classic shade, which will be appropriate both in the office and at the wedding ceremony. Golden in this situation only softens his partner a little and adds him the necessary shine.
Which women are suitable for?
Red manicure with gold is considered very passionate and sensual, so it is suitable for bright women who are not afraid to be in the spotlight.
By the way, you can use it for some special events, and for ordinary life.
Red is the most striking version of the decor, so in excessive quantities it can spoil the image of even the most confident woman. However, the use of gold harmonizes it and gives special luxury and sophistication. Therefore, those girls who want to look as if they have a crown on their heads must always pay attention to it in any situation.
Golden in itself is considered a rather friendly shade., and not only because it is combined with other tones. Since he can be called a relative of the golden color, he also gives warmth and light. Friendly and sociable girls must use it in their manicure, complementing the image with gold jewelry.
Finally, it is important to mention that golden scarlet manicure immediately attracts the attention of others to the hands, so a woman choosing these colors should adequately care for them. This indicates the need to apply the cream, adjust the cuticle and monitor the shape of the plate. In addition, it is important to carefully treat the manicure, do the glove homework and prevent chips or scratches on the varnish.
With drawing
In the event that you want to cover the nail with the same patterns, then in order not to repeat the same thing ten times, you can use stamping. It would be a great idea to cover most of the nails with red varnish and apply golden curls on them, and a couple of the remaining ones with gold varnish with scarlet patterns. In general, speaking of drawings, preference should be given to something simple, concise, with the absence of small details. For example, it can be some kind of symbols or geometric figures, ethnic motifs, abstraction or classic cells and stripes.
You can not choose something frivolous, since neither golden nor red is combined with silly images. For the formation of patterns, it is convenient to use scotch tape or purchased gold stripes.
It is recommended to cover two nails with drawings.since the varnishes themselves are very bright and redundancy is likely to occur. Although a red base and golden patterns are usually chosen, the opposite is also possible. As a rule, the emphasis in such a manicure is on the ring finger, which can be distinguished not only with a beautiful pattern, but also with gold sequins, sequins or even scales. In the latter case, the remaining fingers should remain painted with a neat gloss. In the event that the base is painted in scarlet color, the most popular patterns are called straight or broken lines, triangles and squares.
With sparkles
Variations of golden varnish make it possible to coat nails with large or small sparkling sparkles. In addition, the design will change significantly if glitter is applied to different parts of the nail plate.
Popular is the "stretch" sequins. To do this, the entire nail is covered with red varnish, then spangles are abundantly applied to the tip and their number gradually decreases towards the lunula.
Red and Gold French
French in bright colors looks harmonious in both versions. That is, the nail plate can be almost completely painted red, and the tip is made sparkling or the nail is covered with gold and all are supplemented with scarlet stripes. In addition, the strip of the second shade can be either thin and delicate, or wider and attracting attention. You can also add a thin white fragment between the two parts.
Recently, a lunar manicure, the so-called reverse jacket, has been especially popular. The base is painted in any shade of red, and the crescent-shaped lunula is covered with a suitable golden one.
Since the base has a sufficient area, a pair of fingers should depict some unobtrusive ornaments.
Red and gold manicure allows you to experiment and combine different styles and details. The same jacket can be complemented with sparkles and accents. This is done as follows: all nails, except the ring finger, are covered with glossy scarlet varnish, and the rest is completely painted over with gold. Then a golden lunula is formed on a pair of red nails, and a golden stretch is made on the remaining ones.
By the way, the jacket can be colored, and chevron, and French with bows. In the latter case, the nail is approximately halved, the back part is painted in scarlet color, the nearest part is pale pink or white, and a golden bow is drawn on the border. We must not forget about negative space, characterized by gaps between red and golden varnishes.
For short nails
A red manicure with golden stripes looks great on short-cropped nails.
By the way, it is considered the most suitable for the office dress code.
Ideally, the nail plate should be round, oval or rectangular. Sharp nails should be avoided, because if you paint them red, the effect may be too provocative. It is best to use shellac, which is characterized by durability, saturated colors and uniform application. Moreover, shellac is used only for the red base, and for golden patterns it is already allowed to use ordinary varnish. A special advantage of this dual use is the ability to adjust the decorative elements without affecting the base.
Design options
In general, a manicure combining golden and scarlet color provides many opportunities for experimentation. Both colors have different shades, from light and delicate to saturated and dark.
For example, a red tone can vary from pink to burgundy. The most popular, however, are the classic scarlet and rich burgundy.
In addition, there are many variations of manicure, due to the different structure of the gold coating. A manicure can be done with smooth even stripes, or create the effect of friable sand, cover the nail with embossed scales, or smooth foil. The mica effect is popular today, but you can limit yourself to uniform painting. Red-gold manicure can sparkle brightly or unobtrusively shimmer with the movement of female fingers.
It should be added that the manicure, made in gold and red colors, is one of the most popular for the New Year.
Usually the base is covered in red, a traditional festive color, and on top of it are applied brilliant patterns, patterns and other decor. Most often, Christmas trees, snowflakes, stars or garlands are drawn. For example, you can paint your nails with a warm shade of red, then draw symbolic Christmas trees on a pair of plates, and stretch the glitter on the others. Or, on scarlet nails, striving for cherry, draw neat golden snowflakes and other patterns. For the Chinese New Year, it’s a good idea to cover your nails with red and draw dragon silhouettes or beautiful flowers on them in gold.
The original solution will be the dilution of red and gold with a black tint, which can slightly damp the brightness and brilliance. As an option, most of the nails are covered with red, and the two remaining on each hand are decorated “under the leopard” with the help of black and golden spots.
Quite a non-standard, but very beautiful solution will be the addition of large finished decorative elements. For example, part of the nails is covered with pure red and golden varnishes, and a pair of plates forms a three-color picture: the nail is divided vertically, the half is painted black, half is red, and the border is formed from gold false hearts.
In another design, all nails are made the same: division of the plate occurs horizontally. The tip is painted matte black, and the nearest part of the nail is matte red. The border between them is laid out with golden pastes, and on one of the nails the central pebble can be replaced with red.
Do not forget about the scarlet design of nails with gold foil, which is considered a very fashionable solution.
If a red-gold manicure is done at home, then it will be most convenient to perform something asymmetric.
Special stencils for French, regular paper plaster or adhesive tape for manicure will really help you cope with the job.
First, the nails and cuticle are prepared properly, then the nails are painted twice in bright red. When they dry, with adhesive tape you have to create several triangles on the plate, paint them with gold and immediately remove the auxiliary agent.When the varnishes dry, everything will need to be fixed with a transparent finish.
Another simple solution for home use are glitter. At the first stage, the nails are also covered with two layers of red. Next, one layer of transparent varnish is applied to the nail, after which the spangles are scattered.
It will be most convenient to use a gradient technique with fuzzy borders, and most of the glitter should be at the tip.
In the case when large spangles are also involved, their use should be limited to one or two nails. They are applied with a wet toothpick.
Ready manicure is fixed with transparent varnish.
