Background
There is no woman who would not dream of having beautiful, well-groomed hands, because they are an integral part of the image. And if to maintain the impeccable condition of the skin in the arsenal of a lady there are always special anti-aging, nourishing and moisturizing creams and homemade masks, then creating a manicure sometimes requires the most unpredictable things. Of course, you can make a stunning decoration in a beauty salon, but such procedures are usually not cheap. To combine business with pleasure (saving money and an entertaining hobby), it is enough to purchase the necessary tools and consumables once and learn how to make a jacket. And in order for your masterpieces to meet all the requirements of a capricious fashion, read this article carefully.
Advice!French style nail art is quite versatile. It looks equally elegant on the arms of both a young girl and a mature lady. And if you do not overdo it with glitter and rhinestones, you can safely go to work and attend official events with it.
Variety of options
In 2017, the main "trick" of the successful design of fingers is considered to be a sophisticated combination of various techniques and a combination of incongruous. Just imagine how, for example, a classic smile looks great, complemented by sliders, stamps, rhinestones, shimmer coatings and art paintings.
As for the length and shape of the nails, this season, short ones with a free edge up to 4 mm in the form of a regular oval are preferable. The fact is that naturalness and naturalness are now valued, so it is worth forgetting about cat's sharp "claws" for a while.
Timeless classics
This varnish application technique has been known for several decades. It was in this form that the jacket first saw the world: a light pink or beige base and a thin snow-white stripe. This option looks ambiguous - on the one hand, everything is quite simple and laconic, on the other, there are notes of solemnity and sublimity. Since naturalness is now a “number of times” trend in clothes, haircuts, and accessories, it will not be difficult to transfer it to the pens. Perhaps this is even good, because the process of home transformation will not take much time and will not require a search for interesting and original solutions.
Advice!Nude-colored outfits and decorative cosmetics are becoming more and more popular today. The image in the style of "pastel" scale looks very seductive, because it resembles the color of the skin, which means that it gives rise to associations with the foot in the minds of men. So why not use this method when creating a nail masterpiece?
Flawless black
In the coming year, the masters of nail design proposed a very bold and daring solution - a black jacket. This approach created a real sensation, because it is radically different from the traditional performance, made in gentle and soft colors. The bottom line is this: a black smile is applied to the free edge of the plate, and it does not always have the shape of the crescent moon we are used to. Various asymmetric shapes with a sharp transition from black to beige are in most demand now. And if you select several nails using other techniques, you get an attractive and sophisticated overall picture.
Floral ornaments
Floral ornaments have always been very popular, and today this relevance has reached its peak. To create such masterpieces, varnishes of contrasting colors are used. A darker palette can serve as a base, a lighter palette accentuates the tips. To complement the background, you can stick flower stencils or apply patterns yourself using a special liner.
Advice!Do not try to decorate all plates with such prints. It will look pretentious. It is enough just to place accents on the ring or middle finger.
Millennium
To create this nail art, the master uses dense modeling materials and a large amount of glittering powders (powder). Such a solution always looks very stylish and effective. In order for the manicure to have droplets of crystal, a transparent gel or acrylic is used. Looking at such splendor, it seems that the marigold has many facets. A shiny micro-powder or shimmery gel polish is applied to the regrown part. The layer should be thick and not translucent.
Stencil drawings
Here you will find a riot of colors, ornate patterns and a flight of imagination. Most often, for ease of application and saving time (as well as in the absence of talent), special stencils are used. For special events or social events, you can use gilded varnishes, for a romantic date - red and pink collers, for work - beige and pastel products.
Advice! One image drawn from a prepared sketch is not enough. The picture will be complete if you draw various stripes, interesting ornaments of the Mayans or Indians, peas or geometric shapes with a narrow brush.
Lunar French
At the base of the nail, work out a crescent-shaped line, and at the top, make a charming smile. At the same time, it is important to observe one golden rule: the colors at the tip and at the beginning should be opposed to the base. This method is very popular with those who have no time to make a full-fledged nail art in the chores and daily chores. And here, as the nail grows back, you can simply apply a few strokes to mask all the flaws.
Fashion fan
It should be noted that this option is original and beautiful. Here, a creative idea and fantasy perception of the master of his work are welcomed. Beads, rhinestones, foil, feathers, acrylic, lace - all this is actively used to create real masterpieces. At the same time, a smile can take on the most bizarre forms. If you have your own ideas, do not hesitate to translate them into reality. Any geometric shapes, diagonal, zigzag and other tricks are subject to you.
Such a trendy word "fan" is usually called a technique that involves decorating the tips of the plates with various materials: mica, feathers, rhinestones, lace, dried flowers, foil and various stencils.
Advice! This manicure is more suitable for young energetic girls who are not used to sitting still and lead an active lifestyle. For ladies of mature age, this approach will not add elegance.
Sideways French Manicure
The side jacket is an absolute trend in 2017. And it is no coincidence that it is the favorite among other techniques. The fact is that designers have dubbed the stripe fundamental not only in nail art, but also in clothes and shoes. Sideways French Manicure combines all the best qualities of a French and manicure with strict straight horizontal or vertical lines. Such arts are easy to do at home, special brushes and liners with an ultra-thin rod will serve as an assistant.
Advice! As you know, all ingenious is simple. And if ladies' fingers are designed according to all the rules of the general stylistic direction, it is also beautiful. The people around you will immediately understand that you have a sense of taste.
Colors and combinations
As you already understood, if you do a simple French-style manicure, you only need two varnishes to create it. In 2017, design colors can be completely different, but masters recommend choosing palettes so that there is no sharp contrast. Increasingly, they offer their clients a transparent base and a bright smile.
But if you still consider yourself a fan of flashy combinations, let's look at the most fashionable options that you can safely use throughout this season. And so in this list there are the following scales:
- Gray-silver;
- Violet blue with gilding;
- Green-red;
- White black.
The most common designs are fan, aquarium, millennium and art. Marsal triumphantly came into fashion last year. If you do not understand the meaning of this word, we will give you a little hint - the color resembles the depth of red wine. Now a large number of matte burgundy lipsticks, dresses, bags and shoes are produced on store shelves. Recently, matte gel polishes of the same shade have appeared.
Metallic, silver and gold tones continue to be on the first lines of the TOP-lists. Now they are deliberately muted so that they do not look so shiny and pretentious. At the same time, total decoration of all fingers is not allowed. Many experts simply focus on a few nails, and all the rest are painted over with nude or beige.
Burgundy, blue, emerald green, rich greens - all of them are actively used in the creation of modern trendy nail art. But colors such as white, gray, pink, brown and cream dropped out of the charts. By the way, the use of pearl powder is still relevant, with the help of which most women made knitted art last winter.
As you can see, French manicure today can have many variations. Modern designers offer girls to move away from the usual traditional performance and give preference to "pumped-over" transformed techniques. Most likely, in the future we will already observe techniques that, with our usual jacket, will have only one thing in common - the name. And while there is an opportunity to indulge yourself in this masterpiece way and remain fashionable and stylish, take advantage of this opportunity to the fullest.
