Geometry on the nails: options for a stylish design and how to create it

Fashion trends of recent years are changing with lightning speed. New ideas, improved materials and equipment appear, manicure technologies are updated. At the same time, the design in the style of geometry remains at the peak of popularity, except that the patterns and colors are complicated.

Consider what attracts geometric manicure.

• The geometry on the nails compares favorably with simple classical manicure with the unusual pattern.
• Laconic lines and clear figures are the exact opposite of monograms and complex artsy drawings.
• In addition, the geometric pattern is universal, suitable both for the business office style, and for celebrations and friendly parties.
• Geometry is successfully combined with any length of nails.
• Fashion trends are interesting, but at the same time simple for independent reproduction, which makes geometry even more popular and in demand.
• Geometric patterns are executed in any colors, they can serve as a background base, and can play the role of an accent with a monophonic version of manicure.
• Neat lines and clarity of the picture will make the image stylish, and its owner will be recommended as the owner of a good taste.

Among the most famous trends, there are several most popular ones.

• French with an accent. A French manicure unexpectedly and gently looks with three white horizontal stripes parallel to each other from the edge of the nail down. The top of the first corner is in the middle of the last strip, the sides almost reach the basal zone; the second angle is located symmetrically slightly below the first, resting against the hole. The basis of nail art is a transparent base, so the effect is amazingly touching. Looks good on short nails.

• Triangular moon manicure. Originality lies in the unusual coloring of the holes of the nail plate. Instead of rounded shapes, they depict clear isosceles triangles. If you use pastel colors as the background, and make the root geometry coal-black, we get a manicure in the style of minimalism. Such nail art looks rather modest, but original. Stylists suggest diversifying the pattern with rhinestones at the vertices of the triangle.

• A longitudinal strip on one of the fingers. The element is made using various materials: rhinestone, small beads, sand, manicure tape of different colors, or simply painted with varnish.

• Technique image origami. For the base in this case, four colors are used: black, gray, white and beige. A drawing is applied with a thin brush to the selected background. This is usually an image of an animal, as if it were folded from paper using Japanese technique. Manicure successfully lays on short nails, looks neat and stylish. Masters advise decorating with a similar pattern only one nail. If it seems that the manicure is boring, then you can add a simple geometric ornament on 1-2 nails. For those who still do not have much experience in applying such drawings, it is proposed to use stickers or stencils.

• Another basic but popular technology is rhombus gradient. A simple but innovative approach to design is the use of ombre technology when applying varnish in diagonal directions. The gradient is formed as a result of staining upwards along the diagonal. As the layers are indented one on another, the color with each step becomes darker.

Black and white drawing in the style of a botanist has become an actual novelty. Separate branches are drawn with the help of lines and combined with greenery on other nails. Birch nail art is especially popular and fresh.

And also nude geometry is in demand. In this case, pastel colors are used for the background, and patterns are depicted in white, black, gray, gold, silver or brown. Such a manicure on short nails looks very successful.

Another type of geometry is point. It has been used for a long time, but thanks to the advent of new materials and tools, it is constantly being updated and improved. Patterns are becoming more complex, the colors are brighter. Points are made not only with multi-colored varnishes, but also with textured decorative elements: sequins, acrylic powder of different textures, stickers.

The geometry of nails is one of the areas of nail art.

Among the features of the process of creating geometric manicure, the following can be distinguished.

• Complex geometry is applied only to 1-2 nails, the rest is best left unicolored. Otherwise, nail art will be clumsy and tasteless.
• The process of applying the picture in different colors is phased, therefore rather lengthy, since each subsequent layer should be applied to the already dried previous one.
• To obtain clear lines, it is better to use a dense structure coating, otherwise the borders of the patterns will be blurred.
• It is extremely important to choose a varnish of the correct consistency, it should not spread during application, but also it should not be used too thick.
• Geometry does not tolerate thick brushes.For graceful and precise lines, professional craftsmen recommend having only thin instruments.

Scotch tape is one such tool. We will consider the technology of the process of reproducing a geometric pattern with its help on the simplest version of manicure.

To get started, you will need a special thin tape, gel base, top coat and white varnish, nail scissors, tweezers and a UV lamp.

At the first stage, as usual, the nail plate should be prepared: clean and shape. It is better if the nail is short or medium length, rounded in shape. Next, its surface should be polished.

1. In the second stage, a base coat is applied and thoroughly dried.
2. Then, segments of adhesive tape are glued to the nail according to the selected pattern, for example, with a herringbone starting from the middle of the nail. The surface of the adhesive tape should be ironed carefully, expel all air bubbles, especially near the cuticle and side. If this is not done, then the varnish will leak under the tapes, and the picture will be smeared. Ponytails are best left longer so that later it is convenient to shoot them.
3. The fourth stage is the painting of the nail plate with a white coating directly on top of the adhesive tape. After which the tape is carefully removed, the manicure is dried in a UV lamp.
4. At the end of the process, top is applied, again drying and degreasing. The result is an original and at the same time simple geometric pattern.

Using a decorative ribbon in different colors, you can create various variations. It is glued to a ready-made manicure, on top of which a transparent top coating is applied.

For example, golden lines look elegant on a nude background. Minimalistic black and white geometric patterns - a stylish option for the office. Gold and silver straight on a black background are elegant and versatile.

Stencils greatly simplify the life of craftsmen, especially when creating a geometric pattern. They can be purchased at nail stores, or you can make them yourself using tape or sticky paper.

Consider an algorithm of similar technology on the simplest version of a three-color manicure. This will require the following materials and tools:

• basic basis;
• finish top;
• varnish of three shades;
• scissors;
• ordinary stationery tape with a small adhesive ability.

Here are the stages of the work.

• Preparation of the nail plate. Cleaning and contouring.
• Drawing base.

• Coating the nails with the first color, for example, rich pink. Then it should be thoroughly dried.
• After that, the reproduction of the “patchwork” pattern begins, for which the part of the tape that is not subject to staining is sealed with tape. For example, we form a beveled corner at the cuticle. The left area is painted over in a second color, for example, black. By the way, so that the tape is not too sticky, it should be glued several times and peeled off to the back of the hand.

• It is necessary to wait until the second layer has completely dried.
• Next, glue the pieces of tape so that a lateral triangle is formed with a base equal to the side of the nail from the beginning of black to the protruding upper part of the nail plate. This triangle is painted over in a third color, for example, pale pink pearl. Again, wait until it is completely dry.

• Application technology is repeated on all subsequent nails. The arrangement of colors can be changed.

• At the last stage, all nails are covered with a transparent top. The result is three-color shreds.

Another option for using stencils is to obtain a textured manicure. For example, when alternating areas with a matte and glossy finish. In a monochrome version, similar nail art looks stylish.

Another option for geometric manicure using stencils, see the video below.

Dots is a special manicure tool, which is a metal rod with a ball on the end. Tip sizes may vary. This device is used to reproduce a bitmap.

For example, when creating a monochrome black manicure on a matte background, glossy round drops of different sizes made by dots look original. The design is simple and straightforward, but it looks spectacular.

And also popular in the design of the "peas." It can be multi-colored on a bright background or black on a colored base coat.

The algorithm for standard actions when working with dots is quite simple.

• Hygienic cleaning of the nail plate from burrs, cuticles, and other defects.
• Correction of the shape of nails.
• Polishing the nail plates, their preparation for applying gel polish.
• Acid free primer coating.
• Coating and drying under the LED lamp for fixing.
• Coloring the nails in the color of the selected background. Fixation under the lamp.

• The drawing is done with acrylic. Foil is most often used as a palette. Dots is dipped in paint. Next, a ball-shaped tip on the nail plate puts points according to the scheme. The diameter of the points can be changed by alternating dots of different sizes.
• Upon completion, the drawing must be dried.
• A transparent top is applied over the pattern. It can be glossy or matte.

Using a brush, any drawings are created on a hunch, not one of them will happen again. It allows the master to create using imagination and imagination.

For geometry, you need a few thin brushes.

Professional craftsmen with great experience can create geometry using any means at hand. Toothpicks, paper clips, strips of plain paper are used. Of course, any girl at home can take advantage of this, but practice is needed.

Most often, for geometric manicure, shades of red, white and black, as well as pink, green and blue, are used.

Of course, gentle, pastel colors are more suitable for summer-spring dresses, therefore, it is at this time of year that they are most popular. In winter and autumn, women prefer darker, more saturated shades.

Striping is appropriate for any style. As a rule, no more than three shades are used for drawing a picture. Two-color and monochrome options are more common.

Strips can be combined with other types of manicure, for example, with plant patterns or monograms. In restrained tones, it looks stylish and elegant.

Very popular in summer is the marine version: blue stripes on a white background. Sometimes red is added to them.

Business style perfectly combines striped manicure. Stripes make out your favorite jacket. And you can use any combination of colors: both contrast and nude. Spectacular white chaotic lines on a black background or, conversely, black on white. Clear parallel and perpendicular stripes, slightly offset to the side from the center, are also popular. For example, golden on a beige or pink base.

Lunar manicure is a special type of design. It can be done in any style, including geometric. A fresh solution is a design with negative space, when the colored areas alternate with the natural color of the nail plate.

In addition, the hole can be designed as a geometric shape. Fashionistas often use combinations of red with black, white with black, gray with pink, golden or silver with black, pink with burgundy.

Technology is most appropriate for special occasions. With its help, you can create a futuristic design, unique in its kind. Triangular mirror “fragments” will give shine and distinguish the owner from the crowd with their magical tints.

The color scheme is diverse. Any bright, deep shades will be appropriate here. For example, fuchsia, eggplant, purple, raspberry, dark green, aquamarine, cherry, chocolate.

Geometric design can be created not only with the help of varnish, but also using other decorative elements.

1. Glitters help to give geometric shapes volume and shine.
2. Sand. Velvety shapes and stripes on a matte or glossy surface are unique and effects, especially in monochrome.
3. Rhinestones. Pebbles can also draw figures, most importantly, stick them according to the drawing. More often this design is used as an evening one. Rhinestones must be applied carefully, having thought over all the details in advance. A large number of elements can overload the manicure, so in the best case patterns in the form of stripes are allowed. More often rhinestones adorn the corners of geometric shapes.

The basis of any manicure is beautiful, well-groomed nails. The correct classical form is the key to success, since almost all types of design are suitable for it.

The standard geometric design technique with gel polish step by step includes several actions.

• At the first stage, hands are prepared for the procedure:
  1. hygienic treatment of the skin of the hands;
  2. if necessary (no more than once a week) strengthening procedures are necessary, for example, warm baths with essential additives and other health-improving means;
  3. polishing nail platinum;
  4. degreasing the surface of the nails.

• In the second stage, the nails are covered with a base. It is necessary to protect them from varnish, and also helps to strengthen the structure, harden and prevent delamination. The coating is dried using an LED lamp for a minute. Some craftsmen use a UV lamp for this purpose.

• In the third step, the background is applied, for which any color gel polish is suitable. If you need to deepen the color, then cover should be in several layers. Upon completion, the base is thoroughly dried.

• The fourth stage is creative. Here they start to draw patterns. For these purposes it is allowed to use any means. For more complex abstract compositions, it is better to use stencils of figures, narrow tape or thin brushes. Each newly applied layer must be well dried so that the next does not spread over the previous one, the lines are clear, and the borders are neat.

• After all the nails are decorated, a transparent top is applied to them. This is necessary because the top coat visually aligns the nail plates, making them the same, neat and gives a finished look.

The following is the technique of textured geometry on the nails.

The first two stages are appropriate for any design and do not depend on the type of manicure technique.

The third stage differs only in that when using textured ornaments, it should be remembered that the background can be the natural color of the nail. Then you get a design in the style of negative space.

Let us consider in more detail the stages of obtaining a geometric pattern.

1. First of all, it is necessary to outline the boundaries of the picture. You can do this with contour lines. They are applied with a thin brush. If there is no proper experience, then the points are first applied, which are then connected in small segments. But also as a border, you can apply tape tape.
2. After the borders of the figures are defined, they begin to lay out the drawing. Any decorative elements are glued with a special composition or a gel polish that is suitable in color, so this is painstaking work.
3. It should be remembered that each subsequent layer is laid after thoroughly drying the previous one. Otherwise, there is a risk of smearing the circuits.
4. And also do not forget that a large number of elements looks bulky on the nail, so follow the sense of proportion.

In recent years, geometric nail art has gained great popularity.

The jacket and any of its derivatives are still in fashion. Simple shapes - lines, circles, triangles and squares - are universal in nature, so they fit well into any styles and images. It is because of this that modern designers like to use geometric manicures at their shows.

One of the trends is the negative space style. To apply it, a certain courage is necessary, since it looks unusual and bold. From the side it seems that not the whole nail is coated with varnish, some area remains as if “naked”, of a natural color. This design looks on nails of any length. The geometric pattern is applied to the transparent base with glitter or any colored varnish.

When performing geometry on nails, it is necessary to adhere to common sense and not to copy fashionable nail art from the catwalks. The fact is that not always podium options are appropriate in everyday life. If the pattern is overloaded with details, you get bad taste. In geometry, it is better to adhere to moderation. For example, stylists offer options in the style of "dominoes" or "checkers." Very effective if it is not made on all nails, but selectively on several.

A “winter” manicure in the form of separately drawn snowflakes from segments or snowfall from points will be seen interesting at certain times of the year. This style combines with any office or casual wear.

“Summer” nail art pleases the eye with rich colors and simple drawings. For example, a drawing in watermelon colors, in the style of a ladybug or sunlight, is popular.

Ethnic patterns are very popular. It is important that they have something in common with the general image, that is, match along with even the hairstyle.

One of the most complex techniques is considered abstraction. To reproduce it requires a certain experience and a “firm hand”.

The manicure in the mosaic style looks very impressive and unusual. It can be made in different colors, textures or broken glass using the technique.

The manicure with origami looks unique and spectacular. In Japanese, simple and concise, which means stylish.

The dot design, made using dots, will be mastered even by a novice master. And if you improve your skills, you can achieve high mastery in this style.

The simplest geometry does not mean the poorest. Absolute style, elegance and chic can be traced in a manicure made only by straight lines.
