If you purchased a green dress, you should not immediately do a manicure of the appropriate color - there is no need for this. In this case, it is better to prefer a completely different tone. Even if you want to make a nail design in accordance with the tone of the clothes, then the varnish should differ from the color of the dress - it must be selected either darker or lighter. It can be done differently: on the nails, perform a small decoration with elements of greenery, while the main tone should be universal (white or black) or contrasting, provided that it is successfully combined with the dress.
If there is any doubt whether the extravagant nail design is suitable for the new emerald-colored dress, then it is best to turn to the classic style of nail art - in this case, the French will always help you out. So that the result of the work does not look boring and blurry, you need to do a French manicure in bright or delicate shades of pink or outline the edge of the nail plates in contrasting red or black. The foundation can be made in green colors. The same option should be provided if you do a moon manicure.
Perhaps a task may arise: creating a manicure for a new green dress with short nails. When solving this problem, the basic rule should be taken into account: the coating of nails should be monophonic. When choosing a color, dark green tones, various shades of blue, plum or bright red should be preferred, and beige is suitable from pastel tones.
The shade of manicure must be selected depending on whether the color of the new dress refers to a cold or warm tone. Do not place on the nails various patterns, ornaments or patterns. For those around, the main focus will be on the dress, so manicure, being in the background, should have a minimum of graphic elements.If you still want to diversify, then you can choose the classic versions of the jacket or ombre that can not overload the new image.
With long nails, you can create many manicure options for a green outfit. With additional decor, it is advisable to create a manicure only on the condition that the outfit has one color scheme. If it has a different color, then the manicure should be monophonic. On long nails, light pastel shades of pink, blue, and yellow look good, which make a special bright emphasis on length. Decor on nails with a predominance of green can only be placed on one or two nails of each hand.
A bright red or burgundy manicure will look spectacular against the backdrop of a dress of the color of fresh grass. For a dark dress, you need a manicure with a predominance of gentle pastel shades.
