Bright pedicure - original ideas for nail design
Rarely does a woman refuse a spectacular pedicure, because the desire to be irresistible has been inherent in us since childhood. However, due to the changeability of fashion, designs replace each other, and sometimes a beautiful design seems inappropriate in one case or another. Let's dot the i's, finding out what is in trend now and how to properly design toenails so that the pedicure is not only spectacular, but also appropriate.
Antitrends
To begin with, it is worth immediately identifying the main mistakes that must not be made. This must be taken into account, since even a beautiful shade, with the wrong approach to a pedicure, can ruin the nail design:
- the length of the nails should strive for natural (long nails are taboo);
- it's time to forget about false nails (naturalness and naturalness are in trend);
- the abundance of decor and volumetric elements must be replaced with practical decorative techniques (a lot of stucco, stones and rhinestones are bad);
- it is worth abandoning a wide strip when drawing a jacket (the nails are already short, you do not need to accentuate this);
- the dosage of the decor is important (the pattern on each finger destroys the expressiveness of the pedicure);
- an urgent need to remove acid and poisonous tones from the color palette (this is one of the main anti-trends).
Color palette
This season, stylists identify several color lines. These are shades of the pinkish and powdery group. Nude today is the basis of classic manicure, pink tones are perfectly combined with bright contrasts, they add sophistication and romance to the female image.
This is the best choice of tones for daily outfits.
Pastel colors are also in demand today. It is distinguished by the depth and purity of colors, through which a bright and effective design can be made. Creamy, milky, lilac, peach-pink, mint and blue colors are popular. In the center of attention and light green shades, pistachio, turquoise tones. One of the favorite shades is the wine color. Its contrasts with white, silver or gold color make it possible to complete the solemn bow of a woman. Harmonious and saturated blue, its combination with white looks beautiful.
Pleases this season and the neutral range: pedicure in black, white and pearl gray tones is also in demand and popular with modern fashionistas. To reveal the beauty of tones, stylists suggest decorating with a play of matte and glossy varnish. Sometimes for a beautiful pedicure, a solid base and a few small crystals on the accent nail (big toe) are enough. Combining white with tones of the pink group and a small pattern using black is encouraged.
Season trends
A modern and vibrant pedicure this season is simple yet stylish. Sometimes the texture of the gel polish used is enough for this, in other cases the emphasis is on a contrasting coating. Sparkling decor can also add elegance to the design.
However, whichever type of design is chosen, it must be beautiful, practical and extraordinary. This can be done in different ways.
Today, fashion trends offer modern fashionistas several extraordinary pedicure ideas, through which you can make your bow brighter. For example, if earlier the moon design was held in high esteem, today it is considered fashionable to accentuate the cuticle area, highlighting it with a thin line or several small rhinestones. Even an ordinary plain cover will look brighter and more unusual if a similar decor appears on the big toe. You can also draw a line with gilding or silver, but always thin.
To make the pedicure look beautiful, bright and effective, you can use coatings with a metallic effect. Today they are one of the trends of the season.
If you don't like this option, you can resort to decorating accent toe nails with specialized foil. This season it is presented in five varieties, so that any fashionista can choose between, for example, transfer, sheet, embossed, compressed or in stripes.
Partial staining of an accent nail is fashionable. This conveys the lightness of a pedicure, it seems more airy and at the same time bright. In this case, the pattern covering the nail plate can be located in the upper part or in the center, leaving the third part of the nail unpainted. This design looks unusual and stylish, however, it is used on the thumbs, because such decoration of small nail plates will make them invisible.
Unusual design
If earlier a pedicure with a pattern adorned almost all toes, today this approach speaks of a loss of expressiveness of design. To make it truly beautiful, modern and speak about the delicate taste of a woman, one, maximum two accents are enough. In this case, the drawing should be selected thoroughly. For example, it can be a small sakura branch or a single flower. Options with a floral print that does not fit on the nail plate will simplify the design.
A newspaper pedicure is also creative, for which pieces of newspaper are used. They are dipped in alcohol for a few seconds, and then applied for printing on a monochromatic coating applied to the nails. Next, the newspaper is removed from the nails and the drawing is covered with a layer of top coat and dried. This pedicure looks especially impressive on a light basis.
Fingers decorated with a pattern under a knitted fabric look unusual. To make the effect more realistic, the top is used matte, covering the glued images with it and drying it under a UV lamp.
For greater harmony, all nail plates are covered with a matte top. As a rule, such a pattern is used only for the thumb, because the pattern will not be visible on small ones.
Broths (small beads) are in fashion, which are used as an independent decor for the entire nail plate. They also create drawings in the form of curved lines, individual flowers, complementing them with a pair of small rhinestones. The design of nails using flock powder is not inferior to broths in popularity. This velvety finish is created by sprinkling flock powder onto the wet topcoat. The aquarium effect is also fashionable, which adds volume to any image on the nail plate.
Glitter and kamifubuki (multi-colored confetti of various shapes) are in trend. But if earlier the entire nail plate was filled with a similar decor, today the dosage is important. Such decorations will look much more interesting if they are used to highlight some part of the nail. For example, kamifubuki can decorate only the central or lower part of the nail, located on a bright base of the coating.
Drawings
If the emphasis in summer pedicure is on the use of a pattern, it can be created in several ways. For example, using special stickers.
With regard to the subject matter, it can be a variety of flowers, which is especially important for summer, as well as geometric patterns created by means of foil strips on a sticky basis (microscotch tape).
By the way, the adhesive tape perfectly masks the joints of different shades of gel polish on one nail plate.
Summer jacket by the sea can be classic translucent or pinkish with a white stripe. It looks beautiful with a highlighted accent nail, decorated with sequins in the form of seashells. At the same time, a good combination of shades will be a mix of sand and turquoise, symbolizing the sea coast. Against this background, gold sequins will look good.
Decorating nails of hands and feet in the same style is in fashion.
At the same time, the design of the legs can both repeat individual patterns of accents of the manicure, and maintain the unity of the design solely due to the shade of the gel polish used. A bright pedicure for the summer can be multi-colored, which will allow you to wear it under most of a woman's summer wardrobe. However, in order for it to look harmonious, you need to combine muted shades.
If rhinestones in the decor are fundamental, use them correctly: instead of filling the entire nail plate, distribute them in the cuticle area or close the joint of two contrasting shades with them. The design with rhinestones will evoke romance, if you use a pink tone of the coating, it hints at luxury when decorating in rich colors. You can arrange rhinestones asymmetrically and vertically. They can be used to accentuate floral motifs and lace decor elements.
