Beautiful manicure with gel polish in nude shades
Nude manicure, like red lipstick and black short dress, is considered a classic. It will never go out of fashion and will be an adornment of design in any technique. Considering that the vectors of modern fashion are laconicism and naturalness, I want to decorate my nails in a non-trivial, stylish and status manner. Let's dwell in more detail on the best design techniques in nude tones.
Best shades
The word nude means not so much beige as flesh-pinkish shades of the color palette. Today their number reaches 1 thousand different tones. Of these, the most relevant in the current season are:
- smoky rose (flesh-pinkish color with gray-lilac undertone);
- sienna (warm brownish flesh-colored);
- salmon (lukewarm peachy-pinkish undertone);
- peach-nude (dusty peach);
- Geraldine (soft pinkish with a touch of purple);
- Japanese maple (brownish pink).
Technique
A beautiful manicure can be done using a variety of techniques. For example, it can be a classic with its inherent monochromatic color of the nail plates. In this case, the coating can be glossy, matte, velvety, velor or satin. In addition, you can decorate the classic design with various powders, thanks to which the surface of the nails can acquire a weightless mother-of-pearl or relief.
A nude manicure made in a traditional or reverse jacket looks super beautiful.
In this case, a smile can be ordinary white, wavy, triangular, angular, zigzag, and also similar to a spiral or lightning. French design looks beautiful in the technique of negative space, decorated with rubbing.In addition, you can create a laconic design and decorate the nude background with tear-off foil for gold or silver.
The nude design looks gorgeous in the veil and broken glass techniques. In this case, you can combine a nude background with dark and light contrasts. For example, the design will look beautiful on a translucent background of an accent nail. Broken glass, formed by means of a manicure film cut into small pieces of different shapes, can be used as an imitation of a jacket or moon manicure.
Gradient on nails is one of the key trends of the current season.
You can create it using related shades of nude, performing a smooth or deliberately rough stretch. At the same time, in addition to the vertical and horizontal gradient, today it is important to perform an ombre in the form of a ring finger nail design. You can enclose the ombre in a geometric shape (for example, a circle, triangle, oval, rhombus). It is fashionable to perform ombre with stretching from finger to finger, painting the nails of adjacent fingers in related tones here with a difference of one or two.
Decor ideas
You can decorate a nude manicure this season with a variety of decorative elements and prints.
As for the drawing, the priority is hand-painted in watercolor technique.
It is created on accent manicure nails using water-based artistic paints and special manicure brushes. Every little thing is drawn, and a support image is performed on the next nail.
In addition to painting, the use of slider design and stamping is relevant. These alternative methods of decorating a manicure on a light nude background look impressive and expressive. It is not difficult to create them, it takes a minimum of time, and the result is quite professional and aesthetically attractive.
You can create dots on your nails using different shades of gel polish or acrylic paint for the ornament. With such peas, you can draw French smiles, as well as various ethnic ornaments, which are at the peak of popularity today.
At the same time, black or white drawings do not need to be colored - they already look great on a nude background.
They also look harmonious on accent nails.
It is fashionable to decorate nails with rhinestones and stones. However, in order for nude not to lose its elegance, it is necessary to choose the right inlay and place it pointwise. There is no need to hang stones on the entire area of the nail plates: this brings heaviness into the design and distracts from the high cost of texture.
It is better to select rhinestones of high quality, you can inlay nails with Swarovski crystals.
When using small rhinestones, they can be combined with broths.
Subject
Choosing a design theme for a manicure in nude shades of gel polish, you can take a closer look at the geometry.
Today, various shapes are considered the best way to bring high status to a design.
This design is always permeated with lightness and conciseness. At the same time, it looks impressive and often does not reiterate the strict rules of the dress code.
Elongated triangles, extending from the base of the nail plate to its upper edge, look especially gorgeous in the design of natural manicure, while the figures can be hollow or painted over with colored pigment. You can draw rectangles on the nails, thereby balancing the shape of the nail plates, which needs visual correction.
Boho-style drawings and Scandinavian motives are fashionable. All kinds of lace and monograms look beautiful on a nude background. In this case, you can create a dark substrate for an openwork pattern, covering it on top with gold or silver, which looks very beautiful.
If you don't like lace, you can use the seasonality technique in the design, choosing patterns for nail design of various themes for a specific season.
For example, for summer, you can choose floral and plant motifs. You can decorate nude nails with drawings of butterflies, insects, sketches and compositional sketches. Autumn manicure can be decorated with raindrops using a modeling gel.
In addition, against a nude background, you can depict a black umbrella, tree branches with flying leaves. In winter, it is worth using the theme of snowflakes and Christmas holidays, in spring it is worth turning to the first women's holidays, drawing spring birds, icicles, and the warm sun.
