According to statistics, for all the variety of options that exist, the most common varnish colors used to coat nails are red, pink, and French manicure.
Nevertheless, brave ladies decorate their hands not only with traditional design, but also strive to try new techniques and combinations of shades. One of them is blue varnish in combination with silver sequins.
Shades
Blue has many shades, which, in turn, allows you to create very different designs in terms of saturation and brightness.
Dark and bright shades of blue are:
- ultramarine;
- indigo;
- sapphire;
- cobalt;
- an electrician;
- teal - color at the border of blue and green;
- navy - the so-called marine;
- midnight - midnight blue mixed with black.
If for some reason you are not ready to wear such rich colors on your nails, you can pay attention to light shades of blue:
- azure;
- turquoise;
- cornflower;
- cyan (the so-called gray shade);
- pale moonlight.
Designs
Blue color in all its manifestations (except the most pastel ones) combines well with other colors - red, white, yellow, black. Silver and gold add luxury and sophistication to the design with soloing shades of sea and sky. In addition, rhinestones, kamifubuki, sculpting and sand look great on blue.
If we talk about the blue-silver combination, it is rather a winter manicure. Although nothing prevents you from wearing it at any other time of the year.
The simplest design is a moon manicure, where the main coating is made of sapphire or indigo, and the hole is lined with silver. A combination of the same colors on different fingers looks spectacular - four are coated with silver varnish, and the rest are azure.
There are a huge number of combinations of these colors, as well as a manicure technique. It can be a gradient on two or four nails, and the remaining fingers are covered in one color. Silver jacket on light blue or cornflower blue main varnish will look beautiful and original. Bright silver geometry will only emphasize the depth and richness of ultramarine or indigo.
Sharp “broken glass” or silver foil will attract extra attention to the hands. The combination of matte and glossy coatings, so popular at present, looks great on blue varnish.
If you do manicure for the New Year, you can combine various techniques for its implementation, and it will not look excessive. Silver monograms will look great if supplemented with rhinestones - both small and huge. Shiny sand will make your hands shine, and the corresponding shade of the rub will cause festive associations and create a joyful mood. Sliders or stamping - in the New Year everything is permissible and in the most unthinkable combinations.
The blue cat-eye manicure looks very impressive. It can act both solo and be the basis for the implementation of monograms, laying out rhinestones, beads, various kinds of patterns.
It is on the deep shades of blue and green that the designs with rhinestones look most spectacular, but even the largest of them do not look excessive. If the abundance of stones is too much for you, you can cover part of the nail with sparkles. Such a manicure will look more restrained, but at the same time elegant.
The “caviar” design, in which, as a rule, one nail is completely covered with small “bead” beads, will look no less impressive in the proposed colors: gray-silver tsar-nail, the rest - cornflower or ultramarine.
And, of course, “Gzhel” is an original design, a combination of bright blue and white, which perfectly fit the minimum interspersed with silver sparkles.
Not lost its popularity this season, "marble" on the nails is also beautiful in the proposed combination. Of course, it must be done very carefully.
Nuances
The only condition for these shades is not to take more than one or two shades for them as companions. Since blue is a rather saturated color in itself, a large number of accompanying shades can create ripples and vanity on the nails, and this is not at all the effect that a lady achieves when coming to a manicure.
The length of the nails for the combination of blue and silver can be any: this combination looks beautiful both on short nails with a free edge length of 2-3 mm, and on infinitely long ones.
Choosing any of the manicure techniques, you should take care of which master and in which salon will perform it. Not only beauty, but also safety should be priorities in caring for your own hands. Only then will they look beautiful. In this case, it does not matter what color the nail polish is.
