Shades of gel polishes and their combinations

Gel polish manicure is one of the main trends of the season. The range of modern coatings allows you to choose a shade and color palette for every taste. Light natural gel polish is especially suitable for fans of restrained laconic sophistication, and bright and daring - for courageous lovers of creativity.

Light varnish is perfect for almost any shape of nails, it visually lengthens short nails, adds air and light to the ensemble. Decorative elements, if necessary, add bright and original accents to a light background. The most popular shades of the season in light tones are peach, nude and the whole gamut of nude, khaki, pearl, light brick. However, it is worth focusing not only on the latest recommendations of stylists, but also on the color of hair, skin, and the chosen image. Otherwise, even the most fashionable shade and high-quality composition will look ridiculous.

There are a lot of options for the execution of a light manicure. It can be as simple as a single color. You can highlight several accent nails with a different color, stones, patterns, patterns, stickers. The light range is surprisingly good in both glossy and matte finishes. A great way to spice up a light manicure is to combine multiple textures in one composition. A light, discreet shade is able to perfectly balance the most daring experiments with decorations and decor.

Nude manicure is one of the most popular. It looks as natural as possible on nails and is ideal for any look.Even a strict dress code allows you to have a manicure in shades of beige, milk, nude. The ideal solution for lovers of natural shades is a French manicure.

If you want to not only follow the fashion, but also go ahead of it, pay attention to the hacks. The swamp range is now in vogue, in addition, it is very original, at the same time quite restrained, not defiant. This option is perfect as a basis for military style drawings, which are very popular this season. However, khaki can be not only aggressive, but also a delicate background for flowers, rhinestone compositions. It fits perfectly with the nude range.

The dark palette is as diverse as the light palette, while it has a huge advantage - independent expressiveness. A dark, well-chosen color is incredibly catchy in itself. However, a competent discreet decor will not harm him. Dark gel polishes can be muted, bright, but in any case, they are very rich and deep.

The darker the varnish, the longer the nail should be, as the visually dark varnish shortens the nail. However, even in this rule, you can find exceptions, stretching the nail surface due to the correct decor. The dark background perfectly emphasizes the shine of stones, shiny gel polishes, glitter, metallic sheen. Dark shades are great for decor, so the overall design will be less flashy, more restrained.

When choosing the main background, you should first think over the image and test how it suits your color type. The main disadvantage of the dark coating is the obviousness of all the shortcomings of the plate, the results of external influences.

Between themselves, these shades are perfectly combined, allowing you to create a unique and stylish design. Emerald is considered more expressive in this range of shades; it will be just a great option for a ceremonial exit.

Another hit of the season is plum, eggplant and the whole palette of purple. These shades are simultaneously status, expressive and elegant. They perfectly accentuate decorative stones, flowers, ornament and shine.All you need to do is apply a solid color and highlight one accent nail for an incredibly beautiful and sophisticated design.

Do not limit dark manicure to a monochromatic version, it perfectly enlivens a jacket, a moon manicure. "Cat's eye", marble, glitter, mirror coating, "broken glass" are ideal when a dark saturated color is taken as a basis.

The main thing when creating a harmonious composition is to correctly combine colors. It doesn't matter whether you choose consonant shades or contrasting, two-tone or multi-colored manicure - the colors should not contradict each other, drawing attention to themselves.

The easiest option is monochrome coating. In this case, you can use not one color, but many shades in the same range, in any case, such a manicure will be very harmonious. In the monochrome version, you can perform a luxurious ombre, smoothly stretching the transitions from dark to light tones.

A complimentary contrasting manicure is typical for opposite combinations. You can contrast dark and light shades of the same color, different saturation, texture, tonality, color associativity.

There are universal colors that go well with each other and with almost any shade. This row includes the classic colors: white, beige, gray and black.

Ideal examples of two-tone manicure are a combination of contrasting universal colors or tones of the same temperature. Similar combinations are also very harmonious when two different colors of close scales are combined. A striking example is blue and cyan, yellow and orange.

One of the trends of the season is space-style manicure. It looks fresh, unusual and does not require complex color schemes. The entire range required for the execution of such a design - blue, light blue, silver, purple - is perfectly combined with each other. Smooth transitions, planets, stars, shine - all this perfectly coexists in cosmic nail art.

The choice of high-quality material for manicure is a guarantee that the coating will delight you not only with the sophistication of the design, but also with its durability. The nuances of the choice are important not only for the masters, but also for the models, because it is easier and faster to work with high-quality material. Therefore, the gel polish should be:

• with a declared duration of wearing at least three weeks;

• convenient to use, that is, with a convenient brush, of the correct consistency;

• ease of removal - the time spent on this procedure should not exceed a quarter of an hour;

• rich palette, interesting, original, giving great opportunities for experiments, while the density should be high enough;

• a composition that does not have an aggressive effect on the nail;

• gel polish should have a normal odor.

A chic palette of light and dark shades that meet all of the above requirements is presented by brands such as Charm, Kinetics, Kapous, Elsa, Fox.

The palette is a kind of display on which all shades of one or another gel polish are presented. It is necessary in order to visually demonstrate all the possibilities and the end result of a particular shade. The shapes of the palettes have a variety of types, so you should choose the one that is most convenient. The most common palette is chamomile. It is very comfortable to use, allows you to superimpose shades on top of each other, compare and choose the most successful combinations.

The technology for applying gel polish to the palette differs little from the standard one, but it has its own nuances. The following algorithm will help you to apply the coating correctly.

• We degrease the tips and dry them in a lamp.

• There is no need to apply the base, since there is no need to protect the tips from the aggressive effects of varnish.

• A layer of the required shade is applied to the degreased tips. Re-coat as needed.

• Then the tipsa is covered with a top. Do not neglect this, because it gives both shine and showiness. In addition, it prevents the formation of chips, scratches, which will adversely affect the overall appearance.

The choice of color is one of the guarantors of a truly beautiful, stylish and harmonious nail design. No drawings, modeling and rich decor will correct an illiterate color composition. Shades of manicure should ideally complement the image, match the color of the skin, hair, dress and style. In addition, the length and shape of the nail must be considered. Therefore, it is so important to know the basic rules for choosing a color in a manicure.

• Pastel is quite versatile and can be easily applied in any design; it fits perfectly into different styles. First of all, these are soft pink, beige, milky, nude, coffee with milk, as well as pearlescent shades. One of the most versatile colors is white, it stands alone, but in the version of a jacket it is appropriate almost always and everywhere.

• Pink, despite its beauty, is quite aggressive; ideally, the outfit should have something in common with the pink manicure. Delicate shades will best fit into a romantic look, but it cannot be combined with a strict ensemble or an elegant black dress.

• All shades of red are provocative, passionate, they characterize femme fatale. Therefore, a red manicure will be completely inappropriate in a gentle way, minimalist or sporty. But the gray, brown, white and black ensemble of the outfit is perfect for the scarlet varnish. A red accessory that does not contradict the design in terms of temperature is desirable.

• The opinion that gloomy shades of varnish are a sign of a shocking personality has long become outdated. Wine range, black, plum colors are quite versatile. Ideally, they should overlap with the details of the image in color, then the ensemble will look complete.

• Acid colors are inappropriate neither in an office, nor in a romantic, nor in an everyday look, this is an attribute of a youthful, catchy outfit. By themselves, acid tones make the overall impression cheaper, so even young ladies need to be as careful with them as possible.

• Varnishes with the effect of shine, glitter are incredibly good in an evening look, go well with rhinestones, "broken glass". However, a not too expressive shiny light varnish will be appropriate in a daily ensemble.

In addition to the general rules for choosing a color, it is important to consider the length and shape of the nails. The old rule of thumb against using dark varnish on short nails is not so straightforward today, but nevertheless, light varnish visually lengthens the plate. Round short marigolds will look more solid with a mother-of-pearl finish. By the way, black and all other gloomy shades on too long nails look vulgar.

So that the manicure does not contradict the makeup, consider the following nuances:

• manicure and makeup in color and temperature should ideally intersect, harmonize;

• any pastel shade of nail design is perfect for a gentle make-up;

• marsala, burgundy, wine range in makeup requires the same from the design of nails, however, the difference in shades in these ranges is allowed;

• scarlet lipstick and varnish should be in the same temperature regime;

• a manicure, matched to the color of the eyes or shadows, looks incredibly original.

In no case should the skin color be discounted, because an incorrectly selected shade can create the effect of dirty hands, unhealthy skin:

• fair-skinned girls need not be shy, almost any gamut and saturation is suitable for them;

• pale skin goes well with cool shades that emphasize its porcelain beauty;

• dark skin is perfectly emphasized by bright shades, deep, rich, dark colors.
