Ideas for manicure design with blue gel polish

A beautiful manicure is a visiting card of a well-groomed woman. Nail design, made with blue gel polish, will add tenderness and naturalness to the image.

The procedure for nail care provides a full range of services: from shaping the nail plate and removing the cuticle to painting and decorating with decorative elements. All these stages of nail processing can be done independently or by a nail art master in a beauty salon.

It is customary to distinguish three main manicure techniques, which relate to certain rules for adjusting the nail plate and applying a decorative coating.

• French. This type of manicure is distinguished by the application of a characteristic strip to the tip of the nail. Classic French manicure involves the use of white to decorate the edge of the nail, but in the context of modern trends, it is allowed to use any pastel colors, including shades of light blue.

• American manicure. This design option provides for a monochromatic coating of the nail plate. The colors of the gel polish can be delicate or rich (up to dark turquoise).

• Spanish nail art technique. The basis for the Spanish manicure is a milky matte varnish, and the top layer is a bright glossy finish, such as turquoise. Most often, the coating is not applied entirely, but in the form of stripes. Decorative elements can be used as a small addition. It will be enough to highlight one nail with them.

Thanks to modern technologies, gel polishes not only provide nails with a beautiful and well-groomed look for a long time (up to three weeks), but also do not harm them, since these manicure products contain hypoallergenic natural ingredients.

The varnish palette is very extensive. If you are thinking of making a manicure with blue gel polish, then you have great opportunities for choosing a shade: from pale blue and sky-turquoise to rich shades with a gray tint and blue-azure.

The variety of shades allows you to choose the one you need for any clothes, season and mood. In spring and summer, a blue shade can be combined with any outfits in light colors, and in winter, to create a complete look, it is recommended to wear a blue handbag, scarf or scarf.

A blue tone with contrasting patterns or applications (for example, with yellow flowers), glitter, rhinestones will allow you to create a very effective manicure that is suitable for an extravagant person.

Romantically inclined young ladies are advised to choose a pale blue coating of nails in combination with images of flowers or butterflies. The main rule: images should be in harmony with each other and the main tone.

The choice of gel polish color also depends on the length of the nails. For short nails, choose darker shades. Moreover, it is important to achieve a perfectly flat surface of the nails with the help of polishing, since the blue color makes any flaws in the nail even more noticeable.

For owners of long nails, a gradient coating using several shades with a smooth transition is suitable. The most common gradient options are:

• blue with gray, complemented by golden glitter;
• blue with white (the latter is used as a base, must have a glossy surface);
• blue with turquoise, complemented by silver glitter;
• light blue and azure blue.

To create a beautiful blue manicure design by a nail art master use the following techniques:

• apply ornaments and paintings;
• decorate a light base with dark stripes of the same shade;
• use several shades to decorate nails;
• decorate the nail plate with rhinestones and sequins.

Recently, it has become very fashionable to combine pink and blue shades in manicure. It is recommended to choose light colors of both varnishes, then the whole design will look very harmonious. This manicure will look best on short nails. Decor with small rhinestones and silver glitter is allowed.

When decorating marigolds with rhinestones, you need to remember that these decorative elements, in most cases, are used in manicure for an evening out, but if you correctly implement the decor (one pebble per nail), then this design can be worn as everyday.

Nail art masters recommend refusing to lay out stones in a simple line, since this design is no longer considered fashionable. Compositions made of rhinestones of different sizes look much more interesting (stones can play the role of accents in drawings and ornaments on nails). The combination of rhinestones and other decorative elements: kamifubuks, broths, chains looks unusual.

Glitter in manicure is always a claim for a festive look. To decorate a blue background, you can use a shimmer, that is, diffused soft shine or glitter (rather large sparkles), cover the plate entirely or selectively, in zones. More daring natures are recommended to use multi-colored kamifubuki.

It will be interesting to look at a manicure with patterns of black, brown, red and blue shades on a blue background. Accents of a cream, white or yellow-green hue on a blue base will look modest and gentle.

The blue color can also be used in a classic jacket, replacing the traditional white "smile" along the edge of the nail. If a jacket is used in conjunction with a moon manicure, then the lunula can be decorated in purple or silver.

Blue ombre combined with white or pink tones is gaining popularity. This option looks very stylish and fresh.

Landscape sketches, reminiscent of vacations in exotic countries, and still lifes with fruits are also popular. Such drawings will perfectly complement the beach look and will cheer you up. To create a true sense of the reality of the image, you can apply a finishing gel that will create the illusion of water droplets on the nails.

A popular pattern this season is the "sweater". It looks especially impressive when decorated with velvet sand. This does not mean that decorative sand can only be used in the cold season. In summer, it will look very harmonious in the design of floral drawings and monograms. It is enough to decorate one or two fingers with sand to make the manicure look stylish and unusual.

Popular new products also include black and white stripes and monograms and sweet bloom nail art.

Gel polishes for nails pushed into the background the procedure for the extension of nail plates. This is due to the fact that gel varnishes do not cause significant harm to the nail, do not require cutting it down and look more neat and interesting.

Among the variety of gel varnishes in blue shades, experts advise giving preference to the following.

• For ceremonial appearances, the best option would be the "Blue Stars" coating from the Masura brand. The varnish has a rich aquamarine color with a pearl shine and holographic sheen. The varnish is magnetic, and, therefore, meets the latest trends in the field of nail art. This coating obliges the selection of the appropriate outfit, jewelry, make-up and hairstyle. Magnetic nail designs will look beautiful in a romantic setting with dim light.

• For everyday life, nail art masters recommend using the "Blue Sea" shade of the "Color Expert" series from the Avon company. The shade is very gentle, unobtrusive, a little cold. To achieve a long-lasting decorative result, a two-layer coating is required. Drying time is about ten minutes.

An ideal option for the summer would be a blue manicure with pearl rub and the design of the ring finger with a voluminous dragonfly made of rhinestones of different sizes.
