Design options for gray-pink manicure

A manicure in gray-pink tones is included in the line of the best color solutions for the new season. This combination of tones has its own characteristics, despite the fact that the design techniques can be very diverse. To have an idea of ​​the best types of design relevant for the new season, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the material in this article.

The combination of two different tones of the color palette looks stylish and fresh. At the same time, it has a special meaning: the gray color muffles the pink contrast. Being neutral, it does not have its emotional coloring, although it brings a touch of intelligence and sophistication to the design. Pink, on the contrary, is too optimistic. In addition to changing the perception of a gray tone, this color itself becomes stricter.

An unusual and beautiful combination of two shades allows a manicure to be appropriate in different cases. If the pink design of nails can not be called everyday, then in combination with gray, it can decorate female images for every day, as well as evening bows. It doesn’t matter which gray tone is chosen: wet asphalt, icy gray, silver-gray or smoky glossy. It perfectly softens the pink contrast, even if the design uses not only light, but also bright pink pigments.

Depending on the selected basic tones, the manicure acquires a different mood, for example:

• a pale pink tone in combination with light gray gives lightness;
• saturated pink with smoky gray speaks of passion and at the same time restraint;
• fresh light tones of two contrasts breathe tenderness and youth;
• warm gray and pink speak of softness of character;
• fuchsia and the color of wet asphalt hint at the need for attention.

Manicure in gray-pink colors is suitable for the design of nails of different lengths and shapes. Depending on the correctly selected shades of the two pigment coatings, the design will look beautiful on short nails, as well as nails of medium (moderate) length. Fashion trends confidently state that these contrasts harmoniously look on the straight, oval and almond-shaped form of the nail plates. In addition, they are appropriate for the design of almond-shaped nails, sawn in a straight line at the very top of the nails.

Nevertheless, slightly elongated natural remains the best form today, because the fashionable principle today is naturalness. Even if the direct shape of the nails is crucial, for its refinement it is recommended to slightly file sharp sides. It is not difficult to determine the ideal length of the almond-shaped form: the shape of the nail should resemble an elongated egg. Too long nails in gray-pink tones look aggressive, so this form is a taboo for a similar color combination.

The combination of pink and gray in one design looks balanced. But sometimes I want to complement the design with a third tone. In this case, it is worth considering that far from all the colors of the palette will be appropriate, since the “third” in this case may be “superfluous”. For example, In no case should you complement this combination with neon or aggressive tones. Poison-lemon, acid-orange pigments, as well as blood red color - taboo, such "additions" will make the sophisticated design tasteless and ridiculous.

As for the gold pigment, in this case it will not look beautiful, since silver comes closer to gray. Harmonious additions of gray-pink design can be small contrasts of silver, black, white, as well as some pastel colors and related tones of pink. However, the choice of the desired tone should be related to the temperature of both primary colors (gray and pink). For cold gamut, for example, it is better to choose cool contrasts.

If the main pink tone gives off blue, you can choose shades of lilac colors to it. When it tends to coral, you can complement the tone with powdery contrast. Sometimes a harmonious design and a light mint shade. However, there are cases when temperature mixing is allowed when choosing pigments for design. For example, this would be appropriate in the gradient technique.

The design in gray-pink colors can be made with modern coatings with different textures and effects. For example, matte varnish with imitation of a textile surface, including velveteen, velor, velvet or satin, is ideally suited for this. Moreover, the application technique may be different. And the contrast of matte texture and glossy pattern also looks beautiful. Harmonious and design with gloss, as well as broths.

Those who like the design of nails with drawings can recommend the design using acrylic powder. It looks like nail decoration is voluminous and new, such a manicure will be appreciated by others. Moreover, the patterns in this case can be both traditional and seasonal, which is especially important and is emphasized by fashion trends. For example, for winter, prints for a knitted fabric and snowy frosty patterns, as well as snowflakes, are relevant. For summer, lace is good, for autumn - leaves.

The texture of gray-pink manicure can be decorated and rubbed. This powder with a microscopic sheen allows you to add versatility to the design. This accent can be used to designate one or two fingers, which will look even better than glitter or sparkles. The decoration of manicure and coatings with a mirror effect or metallic texture is relevant.

You can perform manicure in gray-pink colors using different design techniques. For example, an excellent basis for registration may be:

• classic manicure;
• traditional french;
• inverted french manicure;
• moon design;
• broken glass;
• gradient.

Each manicure technique has its own nuances. For example, with the classical technique, nails are completely painted using a matte, glossy, shimmer or temperature coating. Sometimes for such contrasts use craquelure gel polish with a cracking effect. Often, monophonic nails are supplemented with a pattern, rhinestones, small beads, manicure foil, stickers or stamping.

French manicure in pink and gray can be done in different ways. For example, you can beat it with basic tones or complement it with silver lacquer, performing the smile that is familiar to this design along the upper edge. It is fashionable today to perform the French using the technique of negative space. For example, an accent nail can be transparent, and a smile on it can be pink or gray.

So that the emphasis does not seem too simple, you can decorate the nail plate, in addition to a smile, with a simple pattern or several rhinestones. Regarding the inverted jacket, it can be noted: today it has a thin outline of the nail at the bottom, which is performed with silver, a companion (pink on a gray background or vice versa), as well as an arc of small rhinestones or sequins.

If you want to decorate your nails with an accent using the broken glass technique, you can use a special film for this. However, it is worth considering the fact that the film will look different on light and dark tones. For example, on light nails, it really will look like broken glass. On a dark accent finger, this decor will seem like a holography or a foil design.

Gradient is one of the chic designs of gray-pink manicure. In this case, you can make a smooth stretch of one contrast to another. Gradient today can be performed not only from bottom to top, but also transversely. According to the fashion trends of this season, it should be as smooth and natural as possible.

Decorating a gray-pink manicure is done in many ways. One of the trends of this season is the use of stamping (special stamps that are transferred from the workpiece to the nail using a contrasting varnish and a special sponge). Stamping images can be very diverse: from lace to geometric or ethnic ornaments. The popularity of stamping is explained by the fact that it allows you to create a professional-quality picture on the nails in a matter of seconds, even in the same color.

Demanded and foil tape, as well as other types of foil. To make this type of decor look appropriate on pink-gray manicure nails, you need a dosage and the right emphasis.

A separate line of decorative elements are all kinds of stickers. They are better than any decor can indicate that the design belongs to a particular season. In addition, decals do an excellent job of designing a specific style of clothing. They can convey the desired mood by fitting into a certain bow.

If desired, you can decorate a manicure in gray-pink colors and colorful confetti. Today kamifubuki are distinguished by a variety of shapes, due to which it is possible to supplement the design of accent nails, for example, with a heart consisting of tiny circles. Cover this decor from above with clear varnish or top to increase the durability of the design. You can place kamifubuki in the area of ​​the cuticle, the emphasis of which is another fashion trend today.

However, today in the decor it is important not so much to paint over the contours of the lines, but to give them a light silver coating.So manicure accent nails will look easy and beautiful. You can not use all the methods of shine at once in one design (shimmer, glitter, rhinestones, sparkling crystals, silver). This approach will break the harmony of the contrast of gray and pink varnish, because the noble texture of the pigments used determines the dominant role in design.
