Dark pedicure: design and design features

With the onset of open shoe season, special attention should be paid to foot care and nail decoration. A stylish, fashionable and neat pedicure is indispensable. Among the many different techniques and ideas for decorating nails, a dark pedicure is worth mentioning separately. This is a separate type of decoration that uses thick and rich colors. This style has a special visual impact and charm.

Decorating in dark notes is suitable for the fair sex of all ages. A varied palette of varnishes allows you to easily combine the design with shoes in different styles. Dark varnishes are much easier to combine with open shoes and sandals than flashy colors. The main advantage of this decoration is that colors are not as strongly reproduced as bright colors and are perceived more pleasantly. Although dark color tends to visually decrease, this style is suitable for nails of various lengths, the main thing is to choose the right color and, if desired, dilute the design with light colors.

Dark varnish can be used to decorate a single color finish or as a base for a variety of pedicure techniques. Stones, rhinestones, sparkles and other details are actively used when creating a dark pedicure. Moreover, designers note that various additions are more appropriate for dark decor than for bright one.

Among the large assortment of dark shades, it is worth considering the current and common solutions.

Nail service experts note that this color is also versatile and can be successfully combined with other paints, like black. The color can be complemented with various elements. With a cool tone, silver elements and white, transparent stones will look great.

• Burgundy. A thick burgundy varnish is chosen for an elegant and refined pedicure. The decor will harmoniously complement the image of a noble and aristocratic lady. The color combines passion, femininity and elegance. Such a pedicure looks great with light or burgundy shoes. Glitter and rhinestones will help to make the decor more expressive and attractive. As a rule, burgundy is combined with gold elements, but in a duet with silver it also looks stylish. Complete the look with jewelry and accessories to match the color of the additional details.

• Dark green. Shades of green are actually used when decorating a summer pedicure. These colors are associated with naturalness and freshness. Craftsmen use shades of dark green varnish such as pine needles, marsh, emerald, blue-green and deep dark green. The most common and relevant ones are indicated here, in fact there are many more of them. Each of the shades can be used as an independent color or combined with other paints.

• Purple. Purple is currently in vogue in various fields: fashion, visage, nail service.

The designer combine to choose a tone that will harmoniously blend with the skin tone. Decorate nails with stones and glitter in various colors.

• Gray. The trend of using gray for pedicure decoration is rapidly gaining momentum. This season, the idea is relevant and in demand. The dark gray design is chosen by fans of strict and minimalistic designs. Both glossy and matte textures are great for the shade, but for modern decors, the second option is often chosen. This color looks great both in mono version and in combination with other paints. If the use of a dark gray varnish seems boring and faded to you, pay attention to designs using sequins and rhinestones.

We should dwell on this option in more detail. Designs in a dark achromatic color are considered an original choice for the summer season. Some people think that such a pedicure is inappropriate for the summer or spring, but this is not the case. With the right combination with the image, a black pedicure will look fashionable and spectacular. Nail service specialists suggest using varnish as a monochrome coating. T

• black is a classic color, which speaks of constant relevance;
• achromatic colors go well with all colors, regardless of saturation and temperature - this applies to both tones in clothes and additional colors used for a pedicure;
• the cost of such a design is low when compared with a complex decor;
• black decor is appropriate in both warm and cold seasons;
• having the necessary consumable tools and materials, you can arrange the design yourself;
• a color that is demanding on the shape of the nail and the condition of the skin around it.

Black pedicure has such disadvantages as:

• this color reduces the size of the nail plate;
• even a small chipped piece of the coating will catch the eye and spoil the design, this style needs constant correction.

It is worth considering the most popular combinations with black.

• White. Black and white pedicure is most often done using the techniques of lunar and French. The nail on the big toe can be decorated with a composition of rhinestones and large sequins.
• Gold and silver. When it comes to creating an elegant and solemn decor, you cannot do without gold and silver details. The color of the shiny elements should match the jewelry and makeup palette.
• Red. When you duet these two colors, you need to be careful, otherwise the design will turn out to be rough and sloppy. It is better to choose softer and more delicate shades of red.

• Pink. Soft and feminine pink will complement and accentuate the thick black color. The second color can be used to perform various techniques or decorate images.
• Gray. For this combination, light gray shades are most often used. The play of contrasts makes the pedicure original and expressive.
