Symbolism of flowers
In recent years, masters of nail art began to increasingly depict orchids of various colors on nails. And this is not surprising, because this flower is very symbolic. He personifies tenderness, love, beauty and sophistication. In addition, this flower has many shades: from pale pink to green. And they are all created by nature. Orchids of various varieties are very appreciated throughout the world, as they are considered exotic.
Giving preference to orchids as a picture for nails, you can certainly be sure of your choice. With the help of such colors on the nails, the fair sex of all ages can emphasize their sophistication and elegance.
White orchids on nails are often depicted in honor of a wedding ceremony, but small pink options are suitable for every day, as well as for any events.
Orchids on the nails do not carry any negative in themselves, and therefore they always look very profitable, delighting not only their owner, but also all passers-by.
Design options
Today, nail masters can depict any orchids on their nails, using hand-painted techniques.But it is also very original and at the same time, a 3D design with the use of acrylic molding can look unusual on the nails.
Consider interesting options for the design of nails, which can be translated into reality.
- Orchids combine perfectly with a classic jacket. Soft, fragile orchids and white stripes on the nails look like a kind of tandem that fills the hands with tenderness. This design option can equally well complement square nails, and round, and even in the form of a “ballerina”.
- To emphasize the beauty of the flower, almost all masters depict it on a white or any nude background. We definitely recommend that you pay attention to such a design, when all nails are covered with rich pink varnish, and nameless - white with the drawing of pink orchids. As a complement to delicate flowers, black branches are often painted.
- But white orchids with contrasting drawing can look great on bright varnish, for example, on raspberry or bright violet. We especially recommend a closer look at orchids made in Chinese technique with the help of special flat brushes. Such manual work looks very expensive and is performed only by real masters.
- Not bad airy pink orchids with green leaves look on mother-of-pearl gel polishes, especially when they are complemented by miniature rhinestones or broths.
- A manicure can look very advantageous when the nails on the middle fingers are covered with light varnish, and orchids are painted on them, the nameless ones are completely covered with stones and rhinestones to match the main color, and all other nails are covered with a pink shade. Such a manicure will be an excellent solution for creative women, as well as for ladies who want to get a good mood for every day.
- Refined orchids can also be placed on a matte gradient. To get a good spraying on the nails, it is best to contact a beauty salon, since it is a little difficult to implement such a technique at home.
In general, finding some ready-made design for inspiration is not difficult. Many works of masters can be taken as the basis for the design of their nails, or you can create something of your own, unique. The main thing is to give free rein to your imagination and not be afraid to experiment. If there are no ideas at all, then it is worth remembering that orchids look best on the jacket and on the white color of the varnish.
These tricks are universal.
Create on your own
If there is no time to contact the master, but at the same time there are small drawing skills, then you can try to draw orchids on your nails yourself, most importantly, arm yourself with certain equipment.
To create a manicure at home, you will need:
- colored varnishes from pastel colors (milk, pale pink, lemon);
- acrylic paints;
- thin brushes for painting on nails and dots.
Follow the walkthrough.
- To begin with, all nails should be cleaned by removing the cuticle from them and sawing them. And you can also do hardware manicure. It is very important to work with a clean tool and nail files. Despite the fact that we are talking about home manicure, everything should be handled for personal hygiene and safety.
- Next, the main color of the varnish should be applied to the nails, preferably in two layers. Let them dry.
- After the second coat of varnish has dried, with acrylic paints you need to start painting the semicircular base of orchids. Then the petals are drawn in a different color, and the core of the flowers should be made with yellow or gold paint.
- After the flowers have dried, they need to make a frame in a contrasting color and supplement them with twigs. If several flowers are drawn, then they can be connected by a stalk.
- As soon as the acrylic paints dry, the nails should be covered with a fixative or a special top coat for nails.
If the length of the nails allows, you can draw flowers on all the nails, with 2-3 orchids on the nail, but if the nails are small, then design should be preferred when the design is created only on middle or ring fingers.
Of course, working with gel polishes is better, but not everyone knows how to do it, so it’s not critical to paint with ordinary varnishes, you just need to do this as quickly as possible, otherwise they will dry out.
