Red design of nails does not lose relevance from year to year, since it is considered universal, quite bright and unusual. But not all shades can be used on any length of the nail, especially with regard to the scarlet tone.
Rules for using color
The scarlet shade can be either glossy or matte, with the presence of additional elements or simply monochrome. To get the manicure neat, you need to know several rules for applying varnish of this tone:
- the hands should be perfect, therefore, before applying the coating, they must be put in order, otherwise a feeling of carelessness is created;
- cover the nail plate, not reaching the cuticle and stepping back from the edges by a millimeter;
- one layer is not enough, therefore, after the first one, the second is applied, and if necessary the third;
- low-quality varnish does not adhere well and looks very ugly;
- not every color can be combined with scarlet, it is better if its “design partners” are black, white or chisel;
- it is desirable that the girl was the owner of a narrow nail plate;
- nails should not be too long, so they look vulgar.
Color combinations
Very good scarlet color looks with beige. As a basis, you can use both red and light shade. A large heart is drawn in the middle so that its upper part in the form of a check mark is the line of transition from the cuticle to the figure. The result is a custom moon manicure. Matte looks very good in combination with glossy. A small accent will be a diagonal of rhinestones of a small size. This option is suitable for an evening look.
The classic jacket will also look interesting and unusual, especially if the border is outlined with black lacquer.You can use the technique of moon manicure, and use decorative elements to lay out the hole with them.
Monogram patterns are becoming increasingly popular. These are not only lines, but also curlicues, petals located in different directions. You can draw them in more contrasting colors: white and black.
Passionate and emotional natures should pay attention to the red-black version of the decorative design. Against the scarlet background, gold patterns look great too. Some designers consider this combination royal because it always looks rich and refined.
Floral design can be very diverse. White roses look good, dots neatly framing the edges. All this can be complemented with shining accents. If you have experience, a painting made with a thin brush would look nice on red nails.
An original solution that courageous girls can choose for themselves - red and blue. This may again be a floral pattern or geometric shapes.
Interesting options
If you want a holiday, you should focus on the use of a large number of sparkles. Gold and silver will look good with a scarlet tone. There are varnishes that already include these elements, and masters use them to create a holographic effect.
Recently, more and more several techniques have been combined in one design, for example, ombre and moon manicure or jacket. The index fingers on both hands can be made with a jacket of red and black varnish, on the little fingers in the same colors to use the lunar style, and on the rest apply spraying with sparkles.
A foil of green, blue and gold shades looks very interesting on nails. Women who want to stand out can be offered dusting bows. Manicure perfectly complements the drawing in the form of fireworks.
Red jacket with monogram patterns or stamping looks appropriate.
You can take the veil technique as a basis - a black pattern will dampen the brightness and courage of the main tone, but it will look quite contrasted.
If red is too bright for a girl, its saturation can dull the white color. This combination looks harmonious. You can make the design casual or festive with the same addition of gold or silver. A very original solution - white monograms on a bright background.
You can add romance to the image and draw small red hearts on a white background, placing them on one edge of the nail, or you can draw one big one. A few rhinestones or geometric composition in black will complement the design well.
At different times of the year, women's preferences change. In winter, on a white background, the rowan branch looks amazingly amazing, the black and red color of which perfectly harmonizes with the main tone.
Be sure to use the magnificent features of the gradient. The transition can be made out in any direction, making it blurry or more contrasting.
It is best done in combination with black.
In the summer, a leopard print will look unusual. In this case, it is the black sketch that makes it distinct. You can use fruit or floral motifs, for example, white roses or red apples.
