Pedicure is considered to be a real necessity for a modern girl. It makes you feel truly well-groomed, attractive and luxurious when every detail of the image is selected with amazing grace and nobility. The pedicure is especially relevant in the summer, because in such a period it attracts a lot of attention to the owner of beautiful nails.
Nail art has long gone beyond simple coatings and light patterns, now the modern beauty industry offers women a wide variety in terms of jewelry and various types of decor for nails. This is modeling, and hand-drawn patterns, and stamping, and special foil, and rubbing, but rhinestones remain at the peak of fashion trends for several seasons. They allow you to create an original design and make some kind of novelty in the usual pedicure.
News and fashion trends
There are many options for using rhinestones in pedicures, which are divided into several types depending on the appearance. A wide color palette, a variety of shapes and coatings makes it possible to constantly come up with new types of design, embodying the most original ideas.
Rhinestones strongly resemble real gems, so you need to use them wisely, in order to prevent busting in terms of quantity, since this option is not relevant at the present time.
When choosing such a jewelry for pedicure, it is worth considering the features in the use and wearing of rhinestones. In particular, such a pedicure is most relevant in the summer or on vacation, when the legs are open.In closed shoes, rhinestones on the nails can be inconvenient, and the service life is much shorter, which leads to the waste of not only finances, but also time for the next correction.
If there are nails that are small in area, it is worthwhile to dwell on elements that are small in size so as not to clutter up the already small nail plate.
Using rhinestones, do not forget about the harmony of the composition. Large elements often look rather rough and overload the picture, so it is better to dwell on an elegant pattern of pebbles of different sizes and neat beads.
It should be noted that rhinestones are always at the peak of fashion, because they are universal in nature and can be used in conjunction with other decor elements.
They look appropriate with beads, pasta designs, sculpting and stamping. This is the main advantage of the material, helping masters to realize the most innovative ideas and decorate the life of clients with a luxurious nail design.
Masters often use rhinestones not as a separate decor, but as an addition to a certain pattern. This method gives scope for imagination and thanks to this, unique design options are developed that can conquer the most finicky fashionista.
A stylish option is the tandem of a classic French pedicure and small neat rhinestones that are located on the top of the nail right at the base. It looks gentle and feminine, and at the same time is rather boring, because many people quickly wear out of French, and this option will transform the French pedicure, making it more interesting.
This rule also applies to the lunar pedicure, when the upper hole of the base of the nail stands out against the background of the main color and small rhinestones appear in the middle or in the border of the hole.
Drawings and patterns, regardless of whether they are made with a pen or through stamping, need rhinestones. They turn the design into a three-dimensional image, while adding sparkle and charm. The pattern can be of different types, be it animal, floral or geometric ornament, since rhinestones are appropriate in any case, the main thing is that their number does not exceed a certain norm.
Minimalistic design looks interesting when all nails are painted in the same color, and on a large nail a pattern of stones of different sizes and small beads is laid out. All this is covered with a top, while the nail can be made matte so that it stands out from the rest.
Design options
Having imagination and basic knowledge of pedicure, you can come up with many interesting ideas using rhinestones, while all of them will be attractive in their own way. Wearing the same option is quite boring, and it quickly becomes boring, so you need to carefully monitor fashion trends, as they will give rise to experimentation, which will lead to new stylish variations of the pedicure.
On short nails, the peach color with rubbing looks good, as well as inlay.
Neutral
Fans of monochrome, minimalism and simplicity in detail should pay attention to monophonic options. In the summer, pastel and bright shades look beautiful, in particular, beige, pink, blue, yellow, greenish, scarlet, white and light gray. They act as a clean canvas, allowing you to create a unique pattern with the help of special paste, gel varnishes, sparkles, beads and, of course, rhinestones.
Nails look original when they are all uniformly painted in the same color, while a large nail becomes the location of the design. This should be a neat and elegant pattern, starting from the edge of the nail and gradually going into the depths. Masters often use several types of rhinestones and beads to create a certain volume.
They can be not only of different sizes, but also differ in color when all the elements are like a small mosaic of precious stones.
In the autumn-winter time, saturated and noble shades are applicable.For example, red, marsala, cherry, dark green, blue, black, brown, khaki and emerald. In combination with rhinestones, they give a beautiful minimalistic picture that embodies the client's dreams of a decent pedicure with a minimum of elements, but with a stylish design. This always looks neat and appropriate even in the case of women who, due to the strict dress code, cannot afford a bright pedicure.
On solid nails, you can use stones on all fingers at once, but they must be extremely small (like a small dot) in order to get a gentle and feminine picture with slight highlights.
You can also place rhinestones along the edge of a large nail, as if they were around the main smooth lines. Let them be of different sizes and mixed with broth, but the line should be gentle and simple, the main thing is not to overload the nail plate with unnecessary elements.
Ombre looks good with rhinestones when several colors are mixed.
Sometimes this transition includes two shades, at times there may be more (even five or six) on one nail. Rhinestones are used both independently when a pattern is laid out, and in tandem with other decorating elements or a pattern that is made by hand. Stamping also goes well with them when it's all on the thumb.
Ombre is relevant when shades of similar shades are applied to each finger in turnforming a delicate palette. To create such an effect, pastel shades are used that look appropriate at any time of the year. Rhinestones in this design, again, occupy a dominant place on a large nail, create a certain pattern, adding luxury and charm.
The design looks tender with two colors close in the palette, when the large, neighboring and last nails are painted in a darker color, and the other two in light. Rhinestones of the same color, but of different sizes from large to small, look like a thin line on the thumb plate.
This visually lengthens the nail and makes it more refined, while the overall appearance is interesting and does not seem boring.
Sometimes it’s enough to use the smallest rhinestones to highlight the hole and thereby create a simple but quite attractive pedicure that will adorn any woman and will go well with any manicure.
With rhinestones and monochrome shades, you can create any patterns and complement them with small beads. They will look pretty bold, but the pedicure will not have anything superfluous.
Original
Fans of the original decor need to pay attention to the large-sized rhinestones, since they attract all the attention and make it possible to create a beautiful composition around such a stone. These can be smaller parts, in particular, beads and pebbles, as well as droplets in the form of dots. This design will not leave anyone indifferent and will attract attention in any situation. The only thing that you need to have large rhinestones is necessary on the thumb, since on the rest it will look too bulky.
The combination of sculpting and strass is a luxury worthy of every woman. With the help of sculpting, you can place beautiful flowers on the plate of your thumb, and a rhinestone of the desired shade is suitable as a middle. Of course, you need to wear this, for the most part, in the summer or during the holidays, but the beauty of the option is beyond description.
The brightest and, perhaps, the most beautiful combination is red or marsala and rhinestones.
This saturated color does not lose its position in the fashion world and is used to design both nails on hands and feet. Rhinestones of different shades are suitable for him, but mostly it is light and gold. Red can easily be replaced with a noble blue, but then it is better to use rhinestones of a golden hue.
A bright and flashy type of coating is any gel polish and rhinestones that completely fill the nail plate. There are no rules regarding the size or placement, but, most often, the most noticeable design falls on the main nail. Variation with an abundance of beautiful stones is suitable for courageous and decisive persons.
The coating, which consists of three pastel shades (blue, yellow and pink), as well as rhinestone, is very popular among girls who prefer tenderness, which is combined with an abundance of colors. To do this, the nails are painted so that the three colors appear alternately wide strips, going gradually. First, blue, then yellow, and then pink, all of which are separated by a thin line of varnish with bright diamond sparkles. The shades presented in the example are easily replaced by others, but it is desirable that they look good together on the nail.
An interesting combination is black gel polish and gold rhinestones.
It looks defiant, luxurious and expensive, while equally good in both glossy and matte versions. The only thing that this kind of pedicure requires is a special accuracy in execution.
Compatible and marble-style coating with different color pebbles. Sometimes the nail where the rhinestones will be located is covered with a matte top, and then the decor looks unusual and even non-standard.
Marsala in tandem with black varnish and a variety of stones gives very unusual nails. Four nails are painted in any shade of red, but preferably dark cherry, after which thin black lines are drawn on the main one, which divides the plate into three or four parts. One of the free parts is filled with stones and beads, and the rest remain transparent. At the end, everything is covered with a matte finish.
Antitrends
Fashion is changeable, so yesterday's trends quickly fade into the background, turning into a real bad taste. To stay on the wave and keep abreast of all trends, it is necessary to monitor important changes in nail art.
The main antitrend of the new season is considered to be excessive nail length. The maximum when the nails can extend beyond the finger is 1.2 mm, and then in cases where this form looks much better. It's time to abandon the extra length in favor of convenience, comfort and beauty.
Acid colors fade into the background, and in their place come just bright and saturated shades.
A pedicure coated with acid gels is considered a sign of bad taste and makes you mentally return to the 2000s, when it was extremely popular among young people.
Active painting on nails has long become unfashionable. This applies to ambiguous, too abundant and aggressive patterns that look unattractive. The measure is in fashion in everything, therefore it is advisable to forget about leopard, as well as in the style of a snake or zebra nails, so as not to pass for a tasteless lady.
Beauties need to exclude multi-colored toenails when these are shades of opposite colors. It is better to switch to a pastel gamut of similar colors and a beautiful ombre, since the first type of pedicure is more like the nails of a child who has reached his mother’s varnishes.
Lack of quality foot and nail care is the main problem in nail art.
With a poor appearance of the cuticle and rollers, it makes no sense to coat and work on creating an original design. In fashion, grooming from the hair to the tips of the toes, so this issue should be given special attention.
In the past, it’s time to leave the pedicure with extra details, when one nail is decorated with rhinestones, the other is a slide design, and the third is glitter.
Pedicure is an important part of the image, so every self-respecting woman dreams that her nails look perfect. This requires time and financial costs, but the pleasure of feeling like a goddess in any situation compensates for this with interest.
Beautiful examples
Tenderness and accuracy is a combination of classic French manicure and small-sized rhinestones.Such a pedicure is appropriate at any time of the year and is relevant both in everyday life and as a complement to the image for a significant event.
In tandem with light varnishes, rhinestones of any color are applicable. The main thing is to observe the line between a sophisticated pattern and an overloaded nail when the design concept is lost amid an abundance of materials.
Beauty is conciseness. It’s important not to add unnecessary details so that the design remains “clean” and unclouded. The combination of blue and gold is the most successful and far from boring.
