A short length will be beautiful too
As in clothing, trends and trends in nail-art are constantly changing. Every year offers us something new and interesting. The trend now is naturalness and naturalness. Therefore, short nails are more relevant than ever. In the 2021-2022 season, the length of 2-3 mm from the edge looks most neat.
Sharp almonds and a clear square are a thing of the past, now tenderness and more rounded edges are in fashion. Nevertheless, this does not mean that it is impossible to create an interesting ornament on them or to cover them with an interesting varnish.
The most popular and trendy ideas:
- A dark, rich finish in dark chocolate or oak wood looks great even without extra rhinestones or sliders.
- Delicate beige tones, light brown can be worn both individually and in combination.
Combining multiple colors from one palette requires care. It is difficult to overdo it here, but nevertheless, experienced colorists advise using no more than three tones at the same time.
- You can experiment with patterns and ornaments. Geometry looks impressive, medium-sized buds on a restrained background. In this case, you will have to complement the main one with some other colors.
- French is still relevant. On short plates, it is especially neat and gentle. Don’t think that chocolate doesn’t suit French design at all! On the contrary, it will make the classics more modern.
- A combination of matte and glossy finishes. It draws attention to well-groomed hands, but at the same time does not look too vulgar and inappropriate. With this design, you can use either one sand or several shades of different saturation.
If there is room for creativity
Long nail plates - it is possible for a woman and her master to experiment.
First, you need to figure out the form: what is relevant now?
In the trend of 2021, pointed: it is practical to wear, it is convenient to grow nails with it. In addition, visually, it lengthens graceful fingers.
The variety of designs that can be implemented is amazing:
- Animalism. The plate is decorated with a pattern that repeats animal prints - python and giraffe. This trend has replaced the leopard, which has already bothered fashionistas.
- Cone molding also looks fresh and original. And most importantly - it perfectly matches such a rich color. The decor is carried out using a certain technique and acrylic and imitates the loose wings of cones.
- Frame gold - the pigment gel is applied in the form of a frame. Any picture you like is drawn inside it. Such a design looks expensive and festive, however, it does not seem too overwhelmed and inappropriate.
- A scattering of glitter. As close as possible to the hole, or, conversely, multi-colored mica is applied to the edge. This decor is suitable for all fingers, as well as for just one.
Not all girls are ready for such experiments. If you still want something more classic, then you can always do with a simple coating (beige and sand - the mast-have of this season) or inlaid with rhinestones.
Long live the mate?
After a long domination of gloss, the Internet literally blew up the matte finish, which turns any design into a delicate and cozy one. This top has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages:
- Effective and appropriate appearance - for such a manicure will not be scolded at work, it will not raise questions on a date.
- It goes well with almost any design - with a jacket, geometry or a delicate petal pattern. Even rhinestones can be glued on top of the non-shiny layer.
Disadvantages:
- Scratches, gets dirty and loses its original appearance faster.
But due to the fact that copper in most shades is quite dark and saturated, all these imperfections are invisible. Is it any wonder that matte top is so popular with lovers of chocolate and coffee nails?
So what can you add to an elegant finish?
First of all, play on contrasts and still make a couple of fingers glossy. Or, after the velveteen finish, paint the abstraction a little with gloss to match the base.
Some people find corduroy boring. But not in combination with rhinestones. Even one Swarovski gives accent to the fingers. And several at once demonstrate the sophistication and elegance of the girl. The combination of corduroy and acrylic rub in creates the same effect.
To make the rub in look organic, it is better to take the opposite color in saturation: for example, combine flesh and bitter chocolate.
When the soul asks for creativity
The main mistake that many girls make is that they overdo it in pursuit of creativity and nail-art even looks inappropriate and stupid.
To prevent this from happening, here are some interesting and always relevant ideas:
- Caviar manicure. To create it, you will need a chestnut base and special microbeads. Usually, only one caviar finger is made on the hand, but the most daring ladies can cover all their nails with a microbead.
- Pendants, which in a certain way are attached to the regrown part of the plate. Depending on the courage of the girl, a modest ring or a more massive and noticeable chain is chosen.
The length of 2-3 mm is completely unsuitable for pendants. Long plates only.
- Along with matt is popular velvet finish. To achieve the effect of a soft fabric, craftsmen use special fine fibers, sand or powder. Some girls like to depict unusual velvet lines on gloss, while others do their entire manicure in an unusual texture.
- Magnetic drawings. Gels with small metal particles are applied in the usual way, and then, with the help of special magnets, the polymer takes a certain shape.
When you want to strike a balance between creativity and classics, you can ask the master to draw some interesting drawing on the plates, use stamping.
For the evening - only rhinestones and sparkles
If a solemn appearance is coming soon, many women of fashion want to see something more original and sophisticated. In rare cases, the color of coffee or its variety is chosen as the basis. And completely in vain.
Brown perfectly complements any dress. And due to its mutedness, it does not draw attention to itself.
Experienced craftsmen advise complementing the coating with rhinestones and sparkles, as well as some other decor.
How you can position Swarovski:
- on one or more fingers along the well;
- cover the plate completely with contrasting crystals (for example, combine chestnut on four fingers and gold on the fifth);
- place a medium-sized rhinestone closer to the edge;
- create any pattern - a bud, a heart, a crown.
If you don't like Swarovski, you can always choose other crystals (fortunately, the assortment of nail stores allows). In 2021, among fashionistas of all countries, crystals in the form of broken glass, charms in the form of hearts and bows, as well as slightly rough Shinju pearls are popular. They can be supplemented with stamping, rubbing or matte finish.
Sequins require a certain amount of care - it is important not to overdo it. Fashion trends in nail art suggest applying them only on one nail, and making others embossed (for example, covered with velvet flock) or contrasting in color.
Drawing is still fashionable
The advantage of drawings is obvious - they can complement any design, from a jacket to Swarovski crystals. Therefore, any girl can find many photo ideas for her manicure.
What do women of fashion choose?
- Seasonal images. In autumn, orange-yellow leaves, plants and buds in warm colors look amazing on sandy nails, and greens in summer.
- Funny pictures - cartoon characters or just animals in the style of pop art.
- Always up-to-date tenderness. The petals fit perfectly on a light beige, cream, coffee base.
- Sweets and food. What drawing literally begs for such an appetizing basis like brown? Of course, chocolate, cakes and donuts. By the way, with due experience of the nail master, it will be possible to make even a volumetric and textured image.
- Feminine lace patterns are usually applied to one finger. For lace, a contrasting tone is chosen in one palette.
Moreover, this is not necessarily a rough ornament of squares and triangles. If you have imagination, you can create both a strict image and a gentle girlish one. The main thing is to choose the right palette for images.
Only at first glance it seems that creating a beautiful drawing is easy. If you come to a session with an inexperienced master, the result will be disastrous: uneven, trembling lines, asymmetry or irregular proportions. Therefore, before visiting the salon, you should familiarize yourself with the portfolio of employees.
Learning to combine correctly
Any manicure can be made more interesting by combining a base - sand, copper, wood, flesh or coffee - with shades of a different palette.
Expensive gold
A classic combination that never goes out of style.
However, it is important to dose the saturation: light gold is more suitable for beige, but dark brown in a warm range will ideally complement bright gold.
Universal white
You can slightly dilute the wood range with white and other light varnishes.
Most popular designs:
- ethnic ornament on one or two fingers;
- brown buds on a light background.
Moving to the dark side
Dark gels, on the other hand, add nobility to a manicure.
A restrained but elegant design is obtained if you combine coffee with such varnishes:
- burgundy;
- blue;
- green;
- yellow, reminiscent of camel hair.
You can combine tones within the framework of drawings and natural ornaments. Yellow with brown is a must-have for lovers of animalism.
Pink for true girls
Appetizing pastry drawings are usually painted in brown-pink tones.
But sometimes this combination can be seen in abstractions, complemented by crystals.
Elegant dress code for the office
It is a versatile combination for office style and elegance lovers.
Monochromatic varnishes, matte and complemented by a small amount of sparkles, look especially delicate.
