Let's start by looking at why reddish shades have not gone out of style for many years in a row.
There are a number of reasons for this:
- Scarlet paints are classics, combined with many other representatives of the color palette and suitable for various styles of clothing;
- By adjusting the brightness and saturation of the hue, you can play with the image, making it from calm and restrained to flashy and attractive.
- It instantly attracts the eyes of others, so take care of the perfectly applied coating, any chips, irregularities, scratches and bald spots are unacceptable.
- When a grandiose celebration is on the way and you want to look in accordance with the latest trends, and there is practically no time to deal with fashion trends, a rich red is ready to help. Thanks to a wide range of shades, it does not lose its popularity.
If you have a wide palm and rough nails, choose pastel colors.
For small palms with short nails, darker colors are appropriate: variations of burgundy, dark scarlet, ripe cherries.
It is worth noting that any coating in reddish tones impresses with an average length. Long nails should not be wasted on such luxury, the idea will look more vulgar than seductive.
Gel polish design: trends and novelties for 2019
Stylish nail art in a scarlet color, first of all, is associated with passion, unrestrained energy and unforgettable emotions.
Fashion trends in 2019 highlight the following design variations:
- the use of transparent or "bare" areas or patterns (technique "Negative space");
- ombre;
- watercolor drawings of floral and plant motifs;
- stamping design;
- inlay with rhinestones and others.
Summer is a long-awaited time for vacations, so the classic red-white-blue combination and pictures on the marine theme are relevant among modern fashionistas.
Recently, the masters of the nail industry increasingly include in their work "negative space", gradient, painting on a wet background, marble effect.
Rhinestones, kamifubuki, pieces of foil using the “broken glass” technique and foil transfer add a festive feeling to the creation of the craquelure effect.
Fresh trends do not deviate from the usual combinations of red with white, black, blue and gray, with gold and silver decor.
If for the upcoming party you decide to appear in an ensemble consisting of a red dress and nails, then their tone should be a couple of positions darker than clothes. This way you won't look vulgar.
Possible variations
Monotony never went out of style. Intense fire colors can be an excellent base for mono design. It looks good on medium-length oval nails and suits blondes, brunettes and red-haired beauties. The only condition is that for fair-haired girls it is better to look closely at the cold positions of the color palette, and for dark-haired ones - for warm ones.
It is impossible not to mention the matte finish, which creates a velvety effect. It goes well with the gradient design. Try a two-tone stretch and apply an appropriate coat.
If you want to add a little glamor - add a few accents with rhinestones or sparkles, do inlay - all this is popular in the coming season.
For lovers of romance, we can recommend a nail design with a pattern. Take a bright scarlet tone as the main one, make a couple of nails white, stick on top of it or draw thematic compositions yourself.
Their choice is huge - from short inscriptions and logos, to landscapes with sunsets, couples in love, funny faces and animal silhouettes. A corresponding picture will be found for each request.
French
Blood red halftone French manicure is the undoubted trend of this summer. It can be completely unconventional, but that's why it is no less attractive.
Bright scarlet carries a kind of aggression, but when it merges with a gentle base in the form of a laconic smile, it loses all aggressiveness, showing the public only a note of rebelliousness.
An unconventional combination of a burgundy smile on a dark background is suitable for an office-business style.
Another laconic option suitable for going to work is a jacket duet with a moon manicure. It looks simple but dignified.
A silver stripe on top of a rich red varnish looks charming and advantageous in any situation. A non-standard drawing of a smile can also become a highlight, for example, if you make it red and black crosswise. This variation is suitable for the square and rectangular shape of the marigold.
You can add romance with the help of contrasting careless strokes, as if left by a paint brush.
Wedding
Fashion trends are constantly bringing something new. Today, brides do not have to dress in snow-white outfits; more and more often, future wives choose bright outfits for the main holiday of life. This means that there is no longer the need to paint nails with white enamel.
Deep red wedding nail art should be in harmony with makeup, bouquet, handbag and other accessories.
The design can be different:
- painting with monograms looks easy and at ease;
- imitation of lace is a more complicated option, it requires high qualifications from the master. A trick is possible: replace manual work with stamping, the choice is yours;
- inlaid with stones - it looks expensive and luxurious, the very thing is to feel like the queen of the ball;
- French is a classic that has no equal.
Geometry
It still does not go out of fashion. In addition to full-fledged geometric shapes, stripes and lines can become the solution to such nail art. This design is laconic and unassuming, which allows you to wear it in everyday sets - fusion, street style, casual, grunge, etc.
Geometry in striped nail designs can be complemented by minimalist techniques, "transparent space", "color block", and other interesting approaches.
As a decor, you can use rubbing, acrylic powder, matte coatings to create glossy matte textures. Don't forget to add sparkle with glitter or confetti, or add cool marble reflections to your creation. Delighted glances cannot be avoided.
Combined colors
As mentioned earlier, the deep fiery hue works wonderfully with many other color positions. This is a good way to diversify the design: to make it richer or more restrained, more romantic or business-like.
Let's consider the most interesting options.
Red-gold
Gold looks mesmerizing over a dark base, enriching it and making it more interesting. And on scarlet, golden paintings look really royally.
Such a duet is most often chosen on the eve of the holidays.
Red gray
Silver paintings on top of the crimson base complement each other, just like in the case of gold, they make the background richer. With this color consonance, unique winter designs, geometric fantasies, stone and foil laying are obtained.
Silvery motifs are suitable for girls with a cold color type of appearance, and golden ones - for “warm” ladies. Use this cheat sheet the next time you visit the wizard.
Red pink
Such a combination is chosen by romantic and playful persons, to whom brightness gives a good mood.
Original reddish-pink nail designs are obtained for Valentine's Day with a variety of hearts, angels and balloons.
Red yellow
Such a neighborhood really resembles the reflections of a flame - deep and mesmerizing.
It is used in summer flower paintings, gradient vertical and horizontal stretches, as well as in painting on wet varnish.
Red-black
A delightful composition that allows you to embody many creative ideas in reality. There is no better option for an evening meal.
If you want to make the image more provocative, you need to enrich the design with details. Polka dots or black veil, symbolic images or laconic stripes - the choice is yours.
Black and red ensembles will make friends with both an evening dress and a business suit.
Red and white
This ensemble fully meets the requirements of the office and business style. Snow-white ornate motifs on a scarlet background, weightless flower arrangements and stamping designs are in trend.
What decor to use for decoration
One of the simplest and ultimately attractive ways to decorate nails is to decorate with rhinestones or broths. These elements can be located on separate parts of the plate or cover it completely, act as separate accents or attract the eye to individual details of the drawing.
Watch out for moderation. You do not need to decorate all fingers at once, it will look a little ridiculous and pompous. Much prettier if you select just a couple of fingers on each hand.
Rhinestones have shown themselves well when paired with evening, cocktail and club dresses; paired with business suits, they are not always appropriate.
Also, glitter has remained popular for many years. Small or large, solid or multi-colored, they manage to give festiveness to a mono design, make it more playful and brighter.
Be prepared that such a design will certainly attract the attention of others, so the nail plate must be in perfect condition. Decorating with sequins is not suitable for short marigolds, as it will visually only "weigh down" them.
Kamifubuki look like festive confetti of different sizes. Nail designs with their participation look beautiful and graceful, suitable not only for holidays, but also for everyday wear.
Kamifubuki can not only randomly cover the "canvas", but also act as a separate element. Only in the latter case will the master have to sweat, laying out tiny confetti.
Foil is another way to energize your manicure. It is easy to work with it - it is enough to cover the surface with a varnish with a sticky layer, press the foil piece tightly and tear it off sharply. It will turn out great if you apply it to the unpainted part.
Making short marigolds
If you think that deep red gel polish is permissible only on an elongated plate, you are mistaken. This color looks no less attractive on short nails.
Naturalness has never gone out of fashion, so this size of nails is in trend. In this case, you cannot overdo it with the decor; in a small area, it will most likely look ridiculous.
The crimson monotony without words will speak of the courage, determination and determination of its owner, and unlike the pointed form, it will hint at a non-aggressive attitude.
Spring nail art can include dark undertones, as a symbol of the prolonged winter cold, summer - bright and playful, telling everyone that the yard is a great time for vacations and fun adventures.
For a holiday or an important celebration, it is allowed to decorate one or two marigolds with pebbles or kamifubuki to match the main varnish.
Drawings and patterns of vertical orientation, as well as longitudinal stripes, will help to visually lengthen the nail plate.
Summer is a time of experimentation, bright colors and colorful clothes. Why not use a rich scarlet tonality in your ensemble?
