Yellow-pink manicure: trends and unusual solutions

Modern nail design offers fashionable women the most incredible color combinations. Yellow and pink colors in manicure are especially popular this season. This trend is also driven by new work techniques. One of these fashionable options is ombre.

Ombre is an advanced type of gradient in which the borders between colors or shades are blurred. It is popular as smooth color transitions look spectacular. In addition, thanks to a huge palette of colors ombre makes it possible to complement the bow in any style and color.

This type of manicure is easy to perform at home. So, the preparatory phase includes standard processing of the work surface and does not require any special tools. To prepare your nails for work, you will need:

• cotton swabs;
• nail polish remover;
• cuticle remover;
• manicure set.

After processing the nails, a base is applied to their surface. It can be either a firming agent or a transparent or colored varnish. If the last option is selected, then you need to use the lightest shade in the palette. In ombre, the tonality of nails from a light base to dark tips looks most impressive. For further work, you will need a gamut of colored varnishes, a greasy cream (for hands), a sponge, a brush for decorating (you can use a toothpick), a small palette for mixing, a fixative and cotton wool (tampons).

After applying and drying the base, the skin around each nail is smeared with cream. The procedure will help to easily remove unwanted residues of varnish. Next is the gradation. It runs in the direction from the base to the tips. Accordingly, each subsequent layer is superimposed.The second color is applied at a small distance from the nail base. Here you need to navigate yourself and determine the approximate distance depending on the number of tones.

Then, with a brush, gently stretch the borders of the varnish so that they merge as much as possible into one whole. The same procedure is performed with subsequent layers. The tip of the nail will be the darkest. For clarity, you can circle it again at the end. After the varnish has completely dried, a fixative is applied and the cream is removed.

There is an alternative way. It is simpler for those who are just mastering the ombre technique. After preparing the working surface, varnish is not applied immediately. First, all the colors of one nail are mixed and stretched on the palette, then they are transferred to the surface with a damp sponge. The wet sponge is simply pressed against the finished template and imprinted on the work surface.

It is very important not to press hard on the sponge, as it can absorb more varnishthan to apply to the nail, or leave deep prints that are difficult to even with a brush later. Application can be repeated several times for a brighter color. For each nail, the composition must be mixed again, since it not only dries quickly, but is partially absorbed into the sponge. Then the color is covered with a fixative, which will help to hide small irregularities from the sponge.

There are no color restrictions in this technique. They can be selected for clothing or mood. The most fashionable this season are rightfully yellow and pink tones. Shades of yellow are recommended by famous nail designers. After all, this is a very sunny color, which creates a good mood and is able to fit into any image. In addition, this color has excellent compatibility with other colors. It is suitable for cold and warm, pastel and bright colors.

Pink pastel shades add femininity and tenderness to the bow. That is why one of the current options for ombre this season is a yellow-pink manicure. At first, such a combination may seem too bright and even flashy. But this version of ombre in pastel colors looks very gentle and subtle. The pink shade will perfectly support the modern make-up of natural colors, while the yellow shade will add a bright note even to the business look. A small contrast of these colors will give the image an additional zest.

The gradient of yellow-pink color can be performed in various variations. The combination of colors is made out as horizontal transitions, and vertical. The second option can be combined with ombre, when the brightness of tones increases with each subsequent nail. The color intensity is regulated not only by brighter tones of yellow and pink, but also by the number of layers of applied varnish. The most fashionable variation is the asymmetric ombre. This is another opportunity to emphasize a bright individuality and uniqueness.

If you play a little with shades of pink and yellowHaving drawn the slope in different directions (mirror reflection of the hands), the bow will immediately fill with mystery. But the possible asymmetry options do not end there. The slope of the pink and yellow tones can be changed several times in the same or different layers of varnish. You can get two completely different designs. If you work with one layer, you will get blurred curved lines that resemble an abstraction.

Many fashionistas are worried about the excessive brightness of the manicure. This problem is easy to fix, even if the design is made in pink and yellow shades. To do this, make the coating matte. There are several available and easy options. In the first case, you can just buy a matte varnish.

A good outlet will be a matte coating for varnish. It will allow not only to make a modern and sophisticated manicure, but also save money. After all, a coating can be used to matt any color of varnish. By alternating the above techniques and design options, you can look modern and intriguing every day.
