Summer pedicure: an overview of fashion trends and nail design ideas

Women's legs always attract admiring men's looks. Wanting to be perfect, a woman tries to pay attention even to her toenails, making a stylish and modern pedicure. Unfortunately, not every design today is worthy of praise, because changeable fashion dictates its own rules. The material of this article will tell you about what is fashionable today and what is better to avoid when designing toes.

This season, fashion trends offer women's attention a wide color palette of quality pedicure coatings. It unites all groups (nude, pastel, monochrome and bright) nobility and muted shades. The fact that the design of toenails this season is based on interesting color contrasts is also encouraging. For example, the best color combinations today are mixes:

• turquoise, white and beige;
• coral, white and olive;

• red with white and yellow;
• pale pink with white;

• blue with white and silver;
• orange and white;

• mint with turquoise (ombre);
• white with blue or blue;

• white with yellow and black;
• nude, white and black;

• khaki and light pink;
• white with yellow and blue;

• coral with white and black.

One of the favorites of the season is the wine shade of the gel polish. It combines well with white contrast, as well as small accents of gold or silvered sheen. Monochrome combinations are not inferior to him. For example, today you can do a pedicure using a black base with white decor. The design in black and gold tones also looks beautiful, in which a discreet gold ornament is applied to a dark base.

One cannot fail to note the nude range, the coatings of which look great as the basis of a pedicure and, even with a small decor, give the female image notes of romance and sophistication. Heavenly, light yellow, pinkish tones perfectly convey the feeling of summer and freshness. Harmonious combinations of white and olive with a black pattern, peach with coral color. Designs in pink and lilac tones, decorated with metal stripes, are peculiar.

Summer pedicure of this season breathes lightness and freshness. There is no need for the complexity of the design, today almost every woman has all the tools to create a spectacular design of toes. Naturally, these are high-quality coatings and moderate decor. The stake is not on the number of embellishments, but on aesthetics, because a small pattern looks better on short nails than variegation on each finger.

One of the extraordinary solutions to a changeable fashion is a partial decor of the nail plate. In this case, the base of the nail is not painted over with pigmented varnish: a light pattern is performed on top of it. This design looks unusual and stylish, even if the pattern on the nails is very simple. Someone uses water-based stickers to decorate accent nails. Others prefer to create patterns with broths (microbeads).

An equally original design option is the accentuation of the cuticle area with a monochromatic nail base. This technique is performed from rhinestones, as well as a contrasting gel polish base. Since the length of the nails is already small, either small rhinestones are used for decoration, or they simply draw a narrow line (for example, with gold or silver varnish). The selection of the cuticle can develop into a small pattern, be performed in the form of a regular line or asymmetry.

This season, more than ever, the preference for decorating nails is given to the floral theme. Flowers - lavender, lilies, dandelions - can be anything, the effect of the aquarium attracts attention. The main thing is not to overdo it: for an expressive pedicure, one floral accent is enough. There should not be more than one flower in the design. It is better to place it on the big toe, leaving the rest of the nails solid.

One of the trends of the season is the metal effect. You can create such a coverage in different ways. Gel polish with a shimmer will look good on toenails. If you don't like this option, stylists suggest paying attention to the use of foil. From several types of such decor, any woman can choose the option that is most interesting for her. Coatings with a metallic effect also look stylish. By the way, they can be combined with foil, choosing a decor for the thumbnail.

If earlier complex patterns were in fashion, today the focus is on moderation of decor. One of the most popular elements for decorating nails this season are sticky tape strips of different colors with a metal effect. With their help, an asymmetrical design is created on the thumbs, the joints of coatings of two different shades are masked. It is fashionable to highlight the middle of the thumb with a small pattern. For example, you can cover the center of the nail plate with a contrasting varnish and decorate it with Japanese kamifubuki decor.

This technique is one of the most popular this season. Unedged, or European, pedicure is considered more gentle on the toes. In this case, the cuticle is not cut off, but pushed back. EFFECT: method allows to achieve ideal preparation of nail plates, excluding further appearance of burrs. This method is also convenient in that it does not need to soak the nails, and this allows them to maintain their shape (in water, the plates become flatter) and extend the durability of the applied helium coating.

For everyone who loves experimentation, fashion trends offer to decorate their toenails with various creative ideas. One of them is newspaper design. They do it simply: they cover the nails with pigment, and then a newspaper soaked in alcohol is applied to the dried coating. To obtain prints in the form of printed text, 30-40 seconds are enough, after which the newspaper is removed from the nails and the pedicure is covered with a layer of finish, followed by drying.

Such patterns look beautiful under a knitted fabric. However, in order for such a pedicure to be stylish, it is important to choose a sticker for a large nail and a matte top. A similar design with a finish that has a velvety coating effect will look stylish.

False nails can be called one of the main anti-trends. If at fashion shows this is still being done in order to save time for the design and drying of the varnish, then at home it is better not to resort to such design options. Naturalness is in vogue today, and suddenly falling off nails from toes in the most inappropriate place will look, to put it mildly, creepy.

Acid tones are also considered a terrible design today. Such a pedicure evokes thoughts of the past, and besides, it does not fit into any female image. This is vulgar and too catchy, so neon tones, no matter how much you want, should be replaced with noble colors of the palette. Femininity is in fashion, to which protesting acidic and poisonous tones have nothing to do with.

It is important to give up sculpting and complex volumetric decor. Toenails are already short, the abundance of stucco moldings and large crystals will make their shape even smaller. In general, it will look ugly, and it will complicate the choice of clothes, which will have nothing to do but adapt to the existing pedicure.

It's time to get rid of the "wrong" drawings. The animal print is hopelessly outdated: decorating accent nails with zebra and leopard patterns seems to be a sign of bad taste today. Lightness should be felt in the drawings. Coatings with a feline effect are also outdated, and even more so gel polish in a tortoiseshell color.

It's time to move away from the abundance of rhinestones that cover almost the entire nail plate. Today, lightness is in vogue, and it is difficult to create it if all the nails are dotted with glitter of various sizes. In addition, today, if such a design is suitable for a female image, then it is exclusively for an evening one.
