Red pedicure is considered a classic option. However, it has not lost its relevance for many years. However, it is not easy to accomplish. On such a bright surface, all the flaws and blots are visible. Let's figure out what options exist, and in what cases it will be appropriate.
Peculiarities
Modern technologies in the field of nail design allow you to make a pedicure long-lasting and beautiful at the same time. Now you don't have to go to the master every week or spend time doing it yourself. Gel polish, acrylic, gel - these materials create a durable coating that can last on nails for about a month.
A pedicure with varnish is a classic option that has been known to beauties for more than a decade.
It allows you to create various patterns and stains on your nails. You can also achieve originality through texture. It is presented very widely: under the sand, with decorative elements, sugar. Almost every fashionista who prefers this type of pedicure has a red lacquer in her cosmetic bag.
Gel polish is a stable coating that allows you to smooth out irregularities on the nail plate and hide imperfections. If even 10 years ago very few knew about this technology, today it is one of the most popular procedures in beauty salons. A large number of all kinds of shades of red gel polish allows you to find your ideal option. You can diversify it with decorative elements and additional shine.
It is quite possible to create your dream nails in a couple of hours. The technology is not new, but it still remains relevant. Extended nails are stronger, they do not break, and are practically not susceptible to injury. You can choose acrylic or gel polish.The material determines only the shape (in most cases), and you choose the color of the coating at your discretion.
Modern ideas
Nail design trends change every season. Whether to be at the height of fashion or to give preference to restrained classics depends on your desire. In any case, a red pedicure to this day sounds relevant and causes enthusiastic exclamations of friends and colleagues. Manufacturers, on the other hand, try to satisfy the complex demands of modern beauties, and offer a wide range of products.
- Monochrome. If your office has a strict dress code, a solid color pedicure is what you need. Don't be afraid of red. You can choose muted shades that will emphasize the beauty of your legs and not look defiant. If you are free to choose your clothes, then do not be afraid to experiment. You can paint your thumb in a different color, it will look original and modest at the same time.
- Geometry. Various lines, zigzags and broken lines on a red background look very bright and original. Which option to choose depends only on your imagination. It is not necessary to make the same patterns on all fingers. An emphasis on one or two will be enough.
Another option would be to apply different geometric shapes and lines of the same theme on different fingers.
- Sequins. They always add conviviality and chic. But don't overdo it. A red pedicure is bright in itself. A little shine in the corners or a bright accent on the thumb is enough. In the salon you will be offered sequins of various sizes, colors and shapes. Choose the ones you like. With them, your legs will look well-groomed and beautiful.
- With rhinestones. Rhinestones are a rather small element that you may not even see on your feet. But you shouldn't give them up. The shine they give is not comparable to regular shine. Of course, this is more of a summer option, when there is an opportunity to walk in sandals and show off well-groomed fingers. And do not think that the red version with rhinestones will be too provocative. The legs should also be beautiful.
- With kamifubuki. These are decorative elements that are round, flat sequins. They can also have a pearlescent surface. The master can arrange them in a group or make a kind of gradient (when there are more of them at the base, and only a few closer to the end). For a red base, you can choose gold, silver, burgundy shades of kamifubuk. But the choice does not end there. Various combinations give a unique result and originality.
- French. In the classical sense, it is the basis of natural shades with a white edge. But try replacing the background with red and coloring the ends in gold or silver. Such a chic option is suitable for an evening out, and will look original with a black business suit.
- Volume. Modern design technologies allow you to make three-dimensional drawings and patterns on the nails. They look very unusual. You can create the illusion of a braided or knitted pattern. A skilled craftsman can create a beautiful flower or an unusual pattern in such a small space. It is worth remembering the sense of proportion.
- Thematic. New Years, Easter, or a costume party are great excuses for a themed pedicure. He will emphasize the importance of the event and create a festive mood. It is not necessary to pile up glitter, rhinestones and patterns on all nails. One spruce twig or snowflake will be enough to emphasize the winter mood.
- "Cat's Eye". The design appeared relatively recently, but managed to win the favor and love of many of the fair sex. A special technology allows you to create a 3D image. It looks especially advantageous in sunny weather or under the light of lamps.
Beautiful play and light strip effect will not go unnoticed, and will draw attention to your legs.
- Rubbed in. The most ordinary monochromatic gel polish will sparkle in a completely new way if you treat it with a special rub. It can create a mirror-like surface or give your nails a pearly sheen. In the case of red lacquer, it looks luxurious and festive. If you are afraid that such brightness will draw all attention to itself or will look inappropriate, ask to treat it only a few nails or a thumb.
Harmony of colors
Even a plain color will look different if you apply modern technologies and design options. They can be dictated by the color scheme of your outfit or your color type. The same red lacquer can look completely different if it has a matte finish or gradient applied to it.
- Monochrome. Many people mistakenly think that this is boring and irrelevant. But remember the catch phrase: "All ingenious is simple." Beautiful well-groomed legs with a classic red pedicure will always look sophisticated and appropriate. Don't be afraid to sound banal and unfashionable. This choice provides a lot of variability in the choice of outfit and shoes.
- Matte. Ask the master to show in advance how the matte finish will look on the selected tone. After drying, the color will change slightly and the usual glossy shine will go away. Red matte pedicure looks very dignified and expensive. This is the choice of a real lady. Whether to add decorative elements to it is up to you, but even without them it looks very dignified.
- Different nails. The trends of recent years have brought freedom of choice when choosing colors for different nails on one leg. This used to be considered unacceptable. Today you can paint everything except your thumb red and paint it black or white. What kind of combination to choose will be prompted by an experienced master who knows how certain combinations look.
- Gradient. An interesting technique in which the color flows smoothly from lighter to darker, or from one shade to another. Red works great in such combinations. This is a great option for those who find a monochromatic pedicure too boring.
Since the size of the toenails is small, the gradient will be exchanged mainly on the big toe.
With drawing
The variety of options for designing a pedicure using a picture is not limited. You can choose from both a classic floral print and an original ethnic pattern. Choose the option that suits you best in style and mood. A well-chosen drawing can make your look individual and unique.
- Floral print. Summer pedicure simply cannot do without bright colors and paints on the feet. But even in the winter months, you want to create an appropriate mood for yourself. A bright red background with subtle white colors can help. A skilled craftsman can create real masterpieces on your nails. It will be impossible to repeat them at home on your own.
- An artistic approach. If the master is qualified enough, then you can completely trust him. After all, you don't always have the courage to tell the artist what to draw. Whether it will be beautiful, artistically designed stains or a real drawing, depends on the situation and your wishes. The bright red color can be used as an accent color or create masterpieces directly on it.
- Patterns. Waves, zigzags and ethnic patterns can find themselves not only in clothing and interiors. Nails designed in this way emphasize the non-trivial fantasy of their owner. The pattern can be repeated on each nail or it can be a modular image. This is when one line on the nail flows smoothly into another, but already on the next finger.
- Funny pictures. Funny, cute cartoon characters or berries and hearts look touching and romantic. It is unlikely that such a design would suit a business lady or a bank employee. Yet it is more intended for young girls and girls.The bright red will only add contrast.
- Stickers. Don't think that they can only be childish and funny. Sometimes complex patterns and small lines are simply impossible to repeat with a brush. And besides, it is not required. After all, modern stickers are in no way inferior to hand-made paintings. It is not necessary to select the images, as they will be difficult to see on the legs.
But the lace ornament will look very aesthetically pleasing.
Combination with design solutions
When choosing a design for a pedicure, you need to clearly understand what situation it is intended for, and what color the sandals will be on your feet. The classic red pedicure suits almost everything, but the design and other original options require a special approach. Don't let one wrong detail cross out your whole image and make it awkward. The easiest way to keep track of the pedicure and image in winter. At this time, our legs are dressed in tights and shoes. In summer, open sandals show everyone around your pedicure.
- Combination with shoes. This is perhaps the first thing you should pay attention to. The red color is not able to spoil the image, the main thing is to correctly combine all the elements. An unobtrusive floral print is perfect for lightweight fabric sandals. But matte red will look better with suede or patent black open-toe shoes. If the ankle is left open, then it can be decorated with gold jewelry. This will add sophistication to the whole look.
- Combination with clothes. Needless to say, all the elements of the image should be well combined with each other. The pedicure should match the shoes, which, in turn, will be ideal "companions" for the costume as a whole. Well, behind them comes makeup and hair. It can be tricky at times, but there are win-win options. Choosing a red monochromatic pedicure, you can safely try on a business suit, an evening dress, and jeans with low-cut sandals.
Red pedicure has been at the height of fashion for decades, just like red lipstick or a little black dress. Classics cannot become obsolete or become irrelevant, for that is why they are classics. But it is quite possible to bring modern elements into it. So, a pedicure with stones or a gradient appeared relatively recently, but has already acquired its fans.
