Pink manicure: a variety of shades and fashion ideas

Pink color is one of the fashionable shades of manicure this season. If earlier it was associated with bohemia and glamor, today today the multifaceted color is more popular than ever for women of different age groups and social status. About what he is this season and what fashion trends say, we will discuss further.

Pink itself is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Few people think that this shade can affect the condition and well-being of a person. With it, you can get rid of depression and improve your well-being. Combining two colors (red and white), pink symbolizes different feelings. For example, he is characterized by passion, sexuality, but at the same time tenderness, purity and credulity.

At first glance, it seems gentle and romantic. It characterizes renewal and femininity, as well as innocence. From a psychological point of view, this color is saturated with the energy of the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity. However, color has a downside. His other qualities are frivolity and inconstancy. Someone even agrees that this color is chosen by girls who need to stand out from the crowd, drawing attention to themselves.

However, the color is not so simple: it is chosen by girls who are outwardly quite open, but in reality it is difficult to understand what they are thinking about. Regarding the effect of pink on the condition of girls, it is worth noting: the color pacifies, removes aggression and stress. Few people know, but it is able to influence the heart rate, and also reduces pressure and has a beneficial effect on the digestive system.

Pink manicure always looks elegant. Moreover, often he does not need additional embellishment, because often the main beauty is the gel polish itself with a noble texture. However, it is important to understand that pink does not tolerate competition, because of this the manicure loses its expressiveness and becomes tasteless and childish.

More recently, the pink color of nails was considered something marshmallow, designed for adolescents and celebrities. He emphasized the romance of nature, hinting at its sophistication. Today, fashion invites women to try different tones of pink, choosing between rich and light shades for their bows. The palette of pink shades consists of warm and cold, light and dark tones, which can have orange, magenta, purple, lilac, brown and gray tint.

For example, some of the best shades of pink lacquer products today are:

Raspberry, lilac-raspberry, pink and beetroot tones are popular this season, as well as a shade of beysen berry, nude, dark pink and pink-smoky tone.

Usually, with the advent of the new season, fashion trends declare the ideal correct and popular form of nails. This season there are no hard frames: the woman selects the ideal form herself based on the characteristics of her nails. Of course, the best form is considered to be naturally extended nail plates with a rounded edge. However, those whose nail form is far from ideal, have to grow it.

The almond shape of nails is back in fashion. However, while fashion trends are in no hurry to announce the return of the nails of the “butterflies” with their characteristic long length and sharp ends. Ideally, the almond nails are short and have oval, slightly pointed edges. This is quite enough for decoration, while long and sharp nails are not only uncomfortable, but also look somewhat aggressive. These nails look repulsive, feminine pink manicure, they will make aggressive.

Choosing a straight line saw cut nails, it is important not to overdo it. Otherwise, they are able to acquire the appearance of false nails, and today it is already unfashionable. Ugly short nail plates with a straight line saw cut. In this case, the oval or almond edge will look more aesthetically pleasing.

High-quality manicure today is performed using modern varnish products. Pigmented pink varnishes, which it is customary to cover nails today, are hybrid coatings that combine the properties of a gel and varnish. Unlike ordinary varnishes, gel varnishes need to be dried each applied layer of pigment.

To do this, use a special device - a UV lamp. As a rule, for one layer to dry completely, one or two minutes is enough, which depends on the type of pigment used, as well as the base and top, without which more than one salon manicure is impossible. Distinguishes gel polishes and durability: such a manicure can adorn female hands for up to four weeks without the need for correction. As a rule, it does not chip or crack, it always looks fresh, as if it had just been made.

Today, manufacturers of hybrid varnishes offer the attention of modern fashionistas several coating options:

• matte and glossy;
• with a pearl shimmer;
• temperature or chameleons;

• options "cat's eye";
• with a translucent texture;
• shimmer and with glitter;
• options with a metallic effect.

Moreover, the types of coatings can be modified due to the used topcoat. For example, the same glossy gel polish can be made matte or even velvety, covering it with a thin top layer with a matte effect. The price of the issue is low, but the effect is not just beautiful, but chic and status.

To date, there are several basic techniques for performing manicure. All of them are inherently simple, but require accuracy and perseverance, as well as preliminary preparation of the nail plates. It is the correct and high-quality preparation that will be the basis of the professional look of manicure. Consider some of the most popular design techniques on the fingers of the hand this season.

This manicure is nothing like staining the nail plates with one color of gel polish. Cover the nails completely over the entire surface. It would seem to be a simple solution, but if you choose the right texture or, say, a contrasting gel polish for emphasis, this design will look stylish and expensive. For example, he can receive the same status due to a dull-velvety surface texture.

By such a technique is meant a design in which the upper edge of the nail plate is formed with a so-called smile (curved strip) of a contrasting color. Its width is reduced this season, as the shape varies. If earlier classical design was welcomed, today the French gravitates towards geometric techniques and asymmetric lines. For example, it can be not round, but diagonal, and also made in the form of an angle.

Highlighting the cuticle area or the lower stroke of pink nails is one of the trends of the new season. Today, this design is considered stylish and fashionable, and it can be performed in different ways. In one case, this is a strip in the cuticle area, made of small crystals. Often this is an arc drawn with contrasting varnish or even silver. It is noteworthy that today the emphasis on the cuticle area can be either asymmetric or long, almost half outlining the nail plate.

The design with the so-called holes below the base of the nail plate is one of the best techniques of modern manicure in pink colors. However, if earlier the holes were made with contrasting shades of gel polish, today the negative space technique is used in this design. In fact, the hole is left unpainted or it is isolated by an unpainted arc.

A gradient or ombre effect is created using several shades of gel polish. They can be related, which allows you to create a unique design, demonstrating overflows of color. Someone, on the contrary, prefers to use contrasting pigments for the ombre effect, for example, stretching pink to lilac or purple. Make a similar decor using a special sponge on which pigments are applied.Someone creates a gradient directly on the nails, combining contrasting tones with a brush.

This technique is based on a translucent pigment. It is called “pantyhose” in another way, since it somewhat resembles the effect of nylon pantyhose. For it, transparent varnish and the main pigment are used, as well as acrylic paint, since the technique involves drawing. Pigment is dripped into a transparent varnish, the varnish is stirred and applied to the nails, after which it is dried, created by drawing and covered with a layer of top coat. Today, this technique is one of the most fashionable. At the same time, the masters manage to make it not only monophonic, but also contrasting.

This product can also be attributed to the trends of the new season. On the market, the rub is presented in a fairly wide range, which allows you to choose the option with the desired effect for decorating the nail plates. This product is rubbed into the pigment, achieving the desired effect. Due to the rubbing in, the manicure can look not only bright, but extraordinary and elegant. However, in order to achieve a harmonious effect, you need to carefully select the option you need.

This design has not lost popularity for several years in a row. Today, however, cat-eye coatings are more interesting. For example, a nail plate can shimmer in several shades, which allows the use of this varnish product to accentuate manicure. To give the desired effect when performing the technique, a special magnetic tool is used, which is brought as close to the painted, but not dried, nail plate.

Today it is one of the most relevant techniques, which allows you to create a bright and memorable manicure. Make this design using a special film. The protective layer is removed from it, cut into small pieces, and then glued to the nail plate on a layer of the non-dried topcoat. At the same time, they are placed close to each other in order to get the effect of broken glass. Cover the top of the film twice so that the surface of the nail plates is flat.

This substance is essentially nothing but a special polymer powder of different colors, with the help of which a special rough texture is imparted to the coating. In this case, the application of acrylic powder can be partial, as well as complete, in which it is used on a layer of applied, but not dried top coat. If the task of the master is not the texture of the coating, but the drawing, then it is created with the top, and then the flock powder itself is applied. This design looks voluminous, but stylish and new, the coating itself looks status and velvety.

Broths are microscopic beads, which are used as the main texture of the nail or a means of decorating it. In general, this is a powder-caviar in a microscopic version or something resembling semolina. It is applied to an un-dried top, and then dried under a special (UV or LED) lamp. Today, such a substance can be bought in different shades of pink, which allows you to decorate them with accent nails in tone with the main pigment.

Decorating nails is akin to art, especially when pink is taken as the basis. It is important not to overwhelm all the attention from the main shade, as well as to correctly emphasize. Consider the materials through which today you can harmoniously decorate a pink manicure.

Manual decoration of nails with acrylic paints and varnish products is a real art that can be done by professional masters of manicure salons. The thin lace lines that they draw on the nails look beautiful and organic regardless of the idea of ​​the picture. For pink designs, these are often floral motifs as well as butterfly wings.Acceptable for pink manicure is abstraction, ethnic patterns, a variety of feathers, as well as drawings in sketching technique.

This term means the use of ready-made stamps with a variety of microscopic patterns. Make them on accent nails, choosing an appropriate pattern that suits the pink color. As a rule, these are all kinds of lace, as well as small flowers or unusual geometric ornaments.

It would seem impossible to combine tenderness and gloss in one manicure. However, current trends prove the opposite. A foil or a special foil film can become the accent of the design, which will bring the desired mood into the design and uplift the mood of the woman. The main thing is not to overdo it, because the abundance of brilliance today is not welcome. You can decorate the nail plates with a marble effect with a splash of silver, mask the joint between two contrasting shades of pigment (for example, combining pink with white or blue).

It is worth noting that today volumetric decor has lost its relevance. Large crystals, which until recently adorned the nails of female fingers, today seem tasteless. It is important to understand that expressive manicure does not tolerate piles. What is good in the Barbie style is inappropriate in the bow of a modern fashionista, even if the direction in the spirit of Asian "lolit" is chosen as the basis of her stylistic image. The less glitter surrounding the pink design, the better. This does not mean that sparkling decor is contraindicated, however, its arrangement must be appropriate and metered.

Massive decor in the form of volumetric elements - yesterday. Remembering that the pink color is complex, you need to avoid unnecessarily heavy design. This is especially important to consider when decorating long nails. Today, fashion trends strive for convenience, and the voluminous decor stands out for clinging to anything. This is often the reason for breaking the nails, which gives the woman a lot of negative emotions.

Pink color cannot be called universal in color combination with other shades of the palette. He is quite picky in choosing contrasts, otherwise he loses his expressiveness and looks childish. To avoid inept combination, stylists suggest starting from several techniques of harmonious pink unity. For example, it looks good manicure:

• milky pink;
• pinkish-green;
• combined with nude tones;
• in contrast with light brown;

• in combination with orange;
• with gold or silver;
• with contrasting white or black pattern;
• in a duet with lilac mother-of-pearl pigment;

• with sunny and lilac;
• with white plain or milky;
• with dark gray;
• with blue and nude;

• with light beige;
• with bright coral;
• with burgundy using gradient technique;
• with turquoise.

Today, a beautiful pink manicure welcomes the moderation of decor. No matter how much you want to paste more rhinestones and crystals on your nails, this is not worth doing, as you do not need to overdo it with shine and glitter. If you want something unusual, it is better to focus on the texture of the coating, rather than paint each finger in different tones of pink, and even dress them on top with a bulk decor. Want to be fashionable - learn to choose the right colors and decor. The bright color of gel polish should be balanced with soft light tones (for example, choosing them for accent nail plates or a picture).
