Blue manicure: stylish ideas and decor secrets

Despite the fact that the leading position in choosing colors for manicure is occupied by shades of pastel colors, bright blue color is considered one of the trends of the current season. Such a manicure captivates the eye, allows a woman to be in the spotlight. However, in order to achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to know the subtleties and developments of experienced masters in the field of nail industry in relation to the blue coating.

Blue color refers to the calm and balanced tones of the color palette. The initial tone is considered cold, it is associated with restraint and poise. From a psychological point of view, it not only has its own meaning, but also is able to exert influence on a person. For example, it is this color that is often used in politics, and therefore it is well suited for strict and everyday images. This is explained by the fact that the blue color is able to attract an interlocutor, it is called noble, associated with such qualities as kindness, honesty and chastity.

Knowing the perception of color, it can be used in manicure by women of different age groups. However, for older ladies, this color can carry not so much a positive as a negative color. The older the age, the stronger the blue color will affect a woman. If for young girls, in addition to coolness and restraint, he does not bear a negative, then ladies in age can worsen their mood and sometimes even provoke depression.

Blue color is considered bright or dark in the color palette, which depends on the amount of black paint in it.Due to its brightness, it is demanding on the shape of the nails, and especially their length. For example, it will look great on short nails, even if their shape is somewhat simplified. At the same time, the edge can be beaten with various design techniques, thereby not only ennobling, but also lengthening the fingers themselves.

With a moderate length, the color on the fingernails will look natural and beautiful. However, here you already have to look at the shape of the edge of the nails. Relating it to modern fashion trends, we can clearly name several options for the ideal form. The blue color of the varnish on the nails of moderate length will be beautifully oval, straight, straight with rounded sides and almond-shaped. Square nails will look no less beautiful in blue.

As for the sharp edge, even a calm blue color is far from always harmonious for this. Therefore, long stilettos, which today are trying to regain their former glory, will look aggressive in blue. Given the fact that naturalness and naturalness are in fashion, this form can hardly be called successful for blue. In general, long blue nails will be quite distinguishable against the background of a common bow. Therefore, in order for the design not to lose its high status, you will have to dose out any decor.

Today, there are many possibilities for decorating manicure. However, before you start decorating nails, it is important to consider the nuances of blue. Due to its catchiness, you will first have to choose the right tone that will not compete with the chosen design, but at the same time remain a worthy foundation for manicure. In addition, the abundance of blue often becomes a problem, so a woman can cool down to design in a few days and wish for something else.

Since today it is customary to use durable types of coatings for manicure, removing one thing and immediately replacing it is quite problematic, given the considerable cost of the manicure. And this is harmful, since every time in the process of removing the material, the natural nail plate is damaged. Frequent carrying out of such procedures is fraught with thinning, damage and slow nail growth. We can not ignore the fact that in design it is necessary to think through every little thing so that he does not make a woman greedy for all the brilliant magpie.

It is worth having an idea of ​​design errors due to which a woman can instantly turn from a noble lady into a person who does not differ in taste. For example, they spoil the look of blue manicure:

• all ten nails decorated with the same pattern;
• coatings with poor pigmentation, not overlapping color or with stripes of uneven application;
• pigments that are not compatible with each other or competing with each other;
• accents, which are more than four on two hands;

• different length or shape of the nails, as well as asymmetry of the overgrown edge, which seems appropriate to someone;
• ill-conceived drawings for a particular style;
• inept drawing, roughness of lines and contours;
• decoration of nails in various subjects;
• ignoring the seasonality of the design and using too harsh blue tones.

Few people take into account the fact that darker blue shades look more harmonious in a female bow. Some masters who adore working with rhinestones find it quite appropriate to show off accent nails with such a shine. As a result, instead of a high status, blue manicure becomes flashy and even disco. However, if at a party this still looks tolerable, for an everyday look, such a design will not work in any way.

Blue color is multifaceted: it includes light and dark tones of the primary color. According to Panton's palette, the group of blue includes 180 tones. For manicure, you can use tones that are better suited to the things in the wardrobe or even accessories. For example, trendy tones of blue are:

• cornflower blue;
• dusty blue;
• denim;
• blue violet;
• blue steel;
• blue persian;

• blue black;
• gentle aquamarine;
• blue green;
• sky blue
• dark azure;
• blue night.

Nail products represented by trademarks of modern high-tech industries are replete with diversity. Today it satisfies even the most demanding preferences. Now you can do a manicure not only for a day: now there are coatings that hold on the nails without chips and correction for up to five weeks (or even more). Every woman can buy such products, varnishes and gels of this type are quite affordable, like a special drying lamp, which hardens the used hybrid varnish.

The best options for gel polishes today are considered matte and glossy. They more allow you to reveal the beauty of blue, and are also an excellent base for decoration or any well-known manicure technique. Having dense pigmentation, they are economical, since one layer of such materials often completely covers the natural nail. Shimmer options can not be called dense: such varnishes need several layers of application. However, they can give different shades of blue base.

One of the extraordinary varnish options are temperature varieties that darken in the cold and brighten in the heat. Of course, many people like the color change, but the gradient effect is noticeable only on long nails. Short ones will be either completely light or dark. Craquelure varnishes or cracking coatings are also in fashion. They look impressive, but do not provide for a different decoration, which automatically makes them moody in design.

In order for the blue manicure to look harmonious in the female image, it is necessary to take into account its exactingness in choosing contrasts. For example, it goes well with all neutral colors, which include white, black, gray tones. In addition, depending on the temperature of the blue color, it will look beautiful together with silver or gold. The blue color looks perfect with metallic, and especially with chrome gray.

It is also harmonious in combination with such colors:

• green
• muted orange;
• turquoise;
• powdery;
• bodily;

• milk;
• turquoise;
• blue
• bleached peach;
• light pink;
• cold lilac.

Mint-blue manicure also looks beautiful, as well as solutions using shades of a bluish-green group. You can combine blue with beige or sand. However, in any case, the contrast should soften the primary color, but not compete with it.

The blue color on the fingernails looks beautiful in any of the existing manicure techniques. Each of them has its own characteristics and, with the right approach to design, helps to enhance the status of the whole image.

Classic manicure is nothing more than a plain design or nails simply painted with the same color. Today, this design is the foundation that can be combined with any of the famous manicure techniques. Painted nails can be the background for further decoration, but they can not be decorated with any decor, if the design does not require it. Matte coatings with a textile effect look especially beautiful in this technique.

A traditional-style jacket is made using two contrasts. In the traditional version, the main background should be solid, and the overgrown part of the nail should be white. With regard to blue today, fashion trends offer two solutions: in the first case there may be a blue smile, in the second - the foundation.At the same time, the shape of the smile can not only adapt to the features of the upper edge, but also have a fantasy design. For example, in addition to a geometric figure, it can be a flower petal, snow, lace.

The inverted jacket differs from the classic counterpart in that its smile is located at the very base of the nail plates. Like the usual French manicure, today it can be not only symmetrical or contour. In addition, he may seek asymmetry. One of the most relevant decisions for him is the implementation with high sides, nullified at the top of the nail. This design ennobles not only the nails, but also makes the fingers themselves more beautiful.

A manicure with holes differs from an inverted jacket in the shape of the hole itself. Today it can be very different: semicircular, triangular, in the shape of a month, diagonal. In this case, the hole can be not only colored, but also made in the negative space technique. The design looks beautiful when it has a contour stroke or a secondary handle. As a rule, a moon manicure goes well with a French jacket or classic. With a minimum of decor, he is able to decorate any female bow.

This technique involves making a smooth transition from the base of the nail plate to the end of its overgrown edge. This design looks very beautiful, they use either related tones of blue or several contrasting colors for it. There are many ways to create an ombre effect. Often a smooth transition from one color to another is done with a sponge. In the second case, a special small sponge is used, which is applied and shaded with a contrasting varnish or gel on a plain base that has not yet been dried in a special lamp.

This technique is used mainly for accent nails, since all nails decorated with it can lose expressiveness. One or two out of ten accents will look super beautiful. The essence of the technique is to glue finely chopped manicure film with a different effect onto a dry top. Depending on the darkness and saturation of the blue color, the film on accent nails will look different. The effect of broken glass is achieved by different sizes of cut particles of the film.

Despite the fact that the veil technique of manicure appeared recently, today it has managed to grow in various variations. In its traditional form, it is performed on a translucent basis using acrylic paint to create various patterns, imitating the effect of nylon tights with their help. Today, it may not have drawings, but its mandatory attribute is the outline of the nail plate. At the same time, a low-key design in geometric themes is often performed on top of a translucent background.

This technique is based on the classic manicure. However, she needs to use special acrylic powders, which today have a lot of variations. They differ in particle size, can be dull or shiny, for which the latter is often called sugar. Today, powder is used both for the complete design of the nail and for emphasizing the pattern made on the accent nail. The smaller the fraction of particles, the more beautiful and sharper the design looks.

This technique differs from acrylic powders in that it needs to be rubbed. In addition, it can change the effect of the main pigment. With regard to blue color, it can not only slightly make its texture matte, but also present it as a pearl, which allows you to use it instead of pearl varnishes. In addition, after using the rub on top of it on accent nails, you can create patterns, including even voluminous ones.One of the trendy options for such material today are the materials “mermaid”, “unicorn”, “holography” and “bug”.

Today, this trend is only gaining popularity. It is new and with a minimum of time allows you to decorate accent nails of blue manicure with unusual patterns. Use special gel varnishes with the effect of spreading or flowering for this technique. Today there are still few of them, and therefore masters often work with a base that can be transparent or white. Pigments themselves are used in a minimal amount (usually less than a drop is spent on the picture). Flowering varnishes have several bright colors, among which you can choose white, black, green, blue and pink for the blue base.

The attention of fashion trends today is drawn to the feminine. And therefore, everything in the design of blue manicure should be filled with femininity. Since the color itself is demanding not only to choose the right shade, but also to any decorative element, it is important to carefully consider the decoration of nails and correlate this with the best offers of the season.

• For example, blue is an excellent basis for space designs. Galactic prints, star nebulae, the Milky Way, constellations - these are just approximate themes of accent nails that can add notes of mystery and a certain unknown to the female image.

• The focus is magnetic type coatings. The so-called cat's eye, which today is more deep and unusual pigment overflows, allows a manicure to become a chic completion of a female bow.

• A stylish design tool are fine powders. The blue base is an excellent working background for them, which can be given a different effect and decorate the resulting background. The trend is pearl dust and the texture of colored flakes.

• Rhinestones and crystals today tend to decrease. In order to more harmoniously "plant" them in the right places of design, it is preferable to combine them either with broths, or with gold or silver dots of glitter, applied using dots.

• Bitmaps are considered a stylish decoration. With their help, you can accentuate the lunar manicure or jacket, they can be elements of geometric design.

• In the trend, drawing on wet, which allows you to create the desired pattern directly on the nail itself. To do this, use either special varnishes, or gels or colored hybrid varnishes, putting dots and connecting them with different movements of manicure brushes.

There are several trends by which you can easily recognize a modern manicure in blue. For example, it is fashionable:

• mark the cuticle area on one fingernail;

• draw a reverse jacket with a thin, almost contour, stroke;

• use geometric design theme in the design;

• apply for decorating nails no more than three or four contrasting shades;

• to emphasize the seasonality of manicure, deliberately demonstrating its belonging not only to a certain time of the year, but even to a specific month;

• combine rhinestones with gold or silver, thereby fitting them into the design more organically;

• to take for design soft and muted tones of blue, which do not compete with either the available clothes, or with a specific style;

• use acrylic sand or flock powder for decoration of accent nails, including with metallic effect;

• apply in the design both matte and glossy coatings of the same color, which can be beaten using a top with a matting effect;

• use negative space technique in manicure, in which part of the nail remains unpainted;

• use stamping, stencils and stickers to decorate the design;

• draw in the style of mehendi, decorating such nails with a dotted arrangement of tiny rhinestones.

To make the design of nails in blue look status, it is important to consider several recommendations of experts in the field of nail art. They pay attention to the fact that without dosing decorative elements to make beautiful design impossible. Fashion seeks lightness and naturalness. Therefore, everything that is too voluminous is alien to it today.

It is better to draw with gel or varnish on the nails of the hands, rather than returning to the piercing of the nail plates or the aggressive length. No matter how the woman likes sharp stilettos, today it is ugly, and even more so in blue. In addition, you should not decorate such nails with loose crystals and complicate with manicure foil. It is important to understand that the best decor is one that is comfortable in everyday life and will not cling to anything. The emphasis on the ring finger looks beautiful. It’s better to show its seasonality, using prints or stickers on summer, winter, autumn or spring themes.

As for the best ideas for accent decor, in addition to triangles and vertical stripes, these can be other elements of geometry, floral motifs, and options with ethnic patterns on a blue background. Ideal decor for manicure are decals or manicure foil with lace. It is possible to make stamping ornaments, as well as screen drawings, on the accents of hands. The best themes of the season are pictures on hands depicting dream catchers, foxes, leaves, raindrops, autumn city sketches.
