New nail art
I think it is not worth going into detailed explanations why the same coating on the arms and legs is considered harmonious, holistic and appropriate in any style, suitable for both evening and everyday looks.
Here you have the right to roam - matte and glossy monotony is still in fashion, as well as shining glamor with rhinestones and catchy art compositions. If you choose stones as a decor, be laconic. The diamond scattering on each nail plate looks pretty vulgar. One or two decorated fingers are enough.
As for the color variety - this summer will not pass without shades of bright red, sunny orange, clear blue, purple, pink, bright light green. It is impossible to ignore the nude tones, this season, like many previous years in a row, bodily undertones save fashionistas when naturalness is paramount. Their use is highlighted in the office and business look, here excessive flashiness is unacceptable. Closer to autumn, the wine-cherry, blue, brown palette, as well as the rich carbon mattness, will become relevant.
Advice!If monotony seems boring, decorate one or two fingers with a bright drawing. On the legs, you can highlight the big toes - that's enough. A good solution would be to use several related or even contrasting midtones, use them one by one, or create a slight ombre color progression - the choice is yours. A noticeable monochrome solution will definitely set you apart from the crowd.
Summer trends - make your dream come true, choose the best
In the spring-summer 2018 season, fashionable design gives fashionistas the opportunity to combine a variety of execution techniques and types of decoration in a single creation.
So, the following can be attributed to the latest trends of the coming year:
- rhinestones;
- french with asymmetry and bright color incarnations;
- moon nail art... Here, the ways of decorating the hole also vary;
- imitation of marble and other rocks;
- metallic effect;
- catchy animal and plant prints;
- exquisite geometry.
Shiny stones are an irreplaceable decor that can be combined with various techniques. You can lay out the entire nail plate as a solid one or create a separate decorative element, plant a couple on a drawing - in any of the selected options, these steps will not go unnoticed.
Speaking about the classic jacket and its variations, it is worth remembering that nowadays stylists recommend moving away from the usual white oval stripes. Choose bright varnishes for this, and instead of the traditional arc, draw a longitudinal, asymmetric or even at some angle - such a kind of interpretation of the usual actions will beneficially transform the look.
A close relative of the previous version, lunar nail, applies the same recommendations. Simple and even holes are no longer interesting to anyone. Why not stop at the triangle? Painting over its base or leaving it transparent is a matter of taste. In this case, the process of enhancing beauty will not take much time, because it will be possible to outline the hole only on the thumb. Just paint over the rest with one color.
Not so long ago, marble imitation gained popularity, each of us either experienced its charm on ourselves, or made a note of the priority "I want". Fancy blue and white, pink and white and other extraordinary beauty stains look great on well-groomed girls' legs.
Do you like being in the spotlight? Take a closer look at the latest proposal from trendsetters - the metallic effect. A bright accent can be located both over the entire surface, or appear as a separate accent, enhancing the brightness of a pattern, mosaic, or serve as a border for a decorative element.
Advice! Something that will never go out of style - drawings, prints and patterns. A romantic mood will be given by a composition using monograms and ornate flowers, images made in watercolor technique look a little more fun. Severity is able to give geometric components. Ornaments are indispensable in national connotations. Well, animalistic and floral prints are applicable in any style.
An exquisite jacket is a current choice at all times
French nail art - it is neat, sustained and sophisticated at the same time. That is why he is the leader among the options for nail decoration.
Among the many ideas for a French pedicure, I would like to highlight several of the most interesting and stylish groups:
- romantic classic. It involves staining the surface of the marigold in a nude pinkish or beige tone, corresponding to its natural shade and lengthening with a well-defined smile along the cut line. This standard method is far from new in the field of pedicure, but it continues to be popular;
- glamor or rich luxury. This excellent example is not far from the previous version. The only difference is that here, in the root area, stones are added in the form of a linear placer or inlaid with precious stones in an imitated silver shell. Depending on the expected result, recreate an expensive composition that resembles an exclusive jewel and placed in a unique frame. Or a more laconic blotch of a large central rhinestone with smaller rhinestones extending to the sides;
- the French vice versa. You have the right to highlight not only the smile line, but also the hole in the root zone. This type of nail art is called lunar. The hole stands out on the thumb, where it is most noticeable. Actual neutral design in combination with a transparent main part;
- color variety.As mentioned earlier, nowadays you will not surprise anyone with standard whites. In the summertime, it is a sin not to use the right to play with rich colors, because the legs are open most of the time. A delicate mint base with a crimson smile line, or a combination of yellow with orange, white with red, blue with an electric blue tint - all these arrangements look unbeatable. Very picturesque and conspicuous ideas;
- pea ease. Sometimes you want something simple and uncommon. In these cases, large and small peas come to the rescue, which create a smile line. Looks easy and unpretentious, tends to charge others with positive.
Advice! An ordinary jacket sometimes looks too simple, there are times when the soul desires something more extravagant. There is a way out: combine the classics with newfangled creative ways of decorating. The result will undoubtedly delight you with depth and originality.
Interesting compositions made with gel polish
Benefits gel polish in comparison with conventional types of enamel, many issues are devoted. It lasts not 3-5 days without chips and scratches, but a couple of weeks or more. It does not harm the nail plate so much. And designs using it turn out to be more interesting and unusual. It is about the decor variations that we will talk about in this section. Trending ideas for this season include:
- strass placers. A laconic and at the same time elegant option is to lay out a kind of pyramid at the root bed. Several rows upward gradually reduce the number of pebbles. At the same time, any basis is acceptable - from the brightest shades for special occasions to muted matte in an office-business style. Rhinestones adhere perfectly to shellac, the top grasps their edges so well that it is difficult to remove them even with a fairly strong mechanical impact from the side. On an ordinary varnish, they will hold out at most for a couple of days;
- drawings... Here the field for action is endless. Due to the fact that each subsequent layer dries well under an ultraviolet lamp in 30-60 seconds, the master is not afraid that his work will smear or spread. Therefore, it will not be difficult to draw something truly excellent. And there are also opposite techniques for painting on a dry layer. Flowers and butterflies, birds and landscape compositions, abstraction and geometric elements, monograms with curls remain fashionable;
- mirror admiration... Recently, a matte base has become popular in combination with glossy elements, and they look best when applied by rubbing in.
Advice! Working with gel polishes is a simple task, but first you need a starter set of tools and materials. It is quite easy to learn how to apply varnishes at home, so if you agree to spend money on a basic set of accessories once, you will save three times in the future.
Tidying up the legs: a step-by-step guide
Before tackling varnishes, you need to bring beauty by cleaning the heels and removing the cuticle. There are several types of pedicure:
- traditional (edged);
- hardware (without the use of scissors and forceps);
- Japanese (with the use of special caring creams);
- European (without a tray, scissors, etc.);
- acidic (with the help of special formulations that soften the cuticle).
It doesn't matter what type of hygiene procedures you choose, the main thing is to achieve a high-quality effect.
To carry out the classic version at home, prepare the following tools:
- pliers with rounded tips;
- sharp scissors;
- orange sticks;
- brushes;
- pumice;
- cream;
- files;
- steaming bath;
- towel.
First, unpread your legs. This procedure will not only soften roughness, but also cleanse the heels. Add soap, sea salt and a drop of iodine to warm water, or herbal infusions - this will be beneficial.
After 15 minutes, proceed to the treatment of hardened areas of the skin and corns. Work with a pumice stone, do not forget about hard-to-reach places. At the end of the step of polishing the feet, use a scrub. Next, move on to removing the cuticle. First, slide it to the base with an orange stick, then cut it off with tongs. Remove excess from the side rollers.
Then give the nails the desired shape and file the sharp corners. After cleansing, softening the feet and other preparatory procedures, proceed to painting. There are many types of decorative enamel; gel varnishes are very popular.
Working with them has some differences from traditional enamel coating. Initially, treat the nail plate with a buff. It will remove the glossy layer and raise the horny particles to increase adhesion to the base. Then degrease the surface with an alcohol-based product. Fatty microparticles serve the rapid formation of chips and cracks. Before the base product, a dehydrator is applied to repel excess moisture and a primer to increase adhesion. Then grab the base, after drying the layer under the lamp, start applying a colored coating.
And don't forget about the design - it dramatically transforms the look of the entire creation.
