Shellac manicure design ideas depending on the season

A beautiful manicure not only emphasizes the well-groomed hands, but also allows you to give the female image uniqueness. Cooking, sports, housework, and playing with children are often the quickest deaths for nail design. To protect the nails from negative effects and preserve the original nail art, many girls choose shellac manicure, because it is considered safe for the horny surface and is easy to decorate at home.

Shellac is a special varnish coating that is made on a helium basis and stays on the nails for a long time (a month or more). Since the nail plate grows and over time an unpainted distance appears on it, it is recommended to correct such a manicure every three weeks. To do this, remove the old coating and apply a new layer of gel polish.

In addition to the advantages, shellac also has minor disadvantages. For example, it is not recommended to use it for owners of thin plates, since they bend and worsen the contact of the gel with the nails, as a result, the coating cracks and loses its attractiveness. Such a manicure should not be suitable for ladies with fast-growing plates, since it will have to be updated twice a month, and such a procedure is expensive.

But the aforementioned disadvantages are not the reason for the refusal of manicure, if you purchase all the necessary tools and materials, it is quite possible to do it yourself. It will be cheaper and will open up opportunities to translate any design idea into reality.

Before you arrange shellac at home, you need to purchase a UV lamp, colored gel polish, a minimal manicure set and be patient, since it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect the first time. The technique of performing a manicure can be different, the standard procedure includes several stages.

• First, dry manicure is done. The old coating is removed, the cuticle is lubricated with an emollient oil and pushed to the base with an orange stick. Then, using the shelves, they give the nails the required length and shape. When the work is completed, the plates must be degreased.
• The next step is the preparation of marigolds for applying shellac. They are covered with a transparent base and dried under a UV lamp for no more than one minute. After that, a base for gel polish is applied, it can be of any color. The staining technique is no different from the application of conventional varnish. Each finger is placed in turn in the lamp for 5-6 seconds.

• Next, they proceed to the most crucial moment - covering the plates with shellac. It is best to cover the nails with gel polish in two layers, so the surface will be durable and will acquire a more contrasting color. The plates are re-dried under the lamp and fixed with a finishing varnish.
• The procedure ends with the removal of the sticky layer using a clinker or napkin. Additionally, the marigolds are opened with a top and the cuticle is lubricated with a nutritious agent.

In this and next season, shellac manicure is very popular, since it looks natural and has a rich design. Although any length of marigolds is now in vogue, most fashionistas prefer short plates. As for the shape, at the moment oval and rounded plates are relevant, they practically ousted rectangular and square shapes from nail art.

Summer manicure next year provides for monotony, refusal of complex decor and maximum decoration with rhinestones. For summer shellac, a small length of nails (no more than 1 cm) is ideal. Square and rounded plates are in fashion next summer. In the color palette, the leaders will be light green, carrot, pink, blue and light green. Summer is considered the time when it is necessary to get rid of layering, so women of fashion are advised to completely abandon helium build-up and replace it with shellac.

An interesting solution for such a manicure will be juicy and bright images of strawberries. The red color is favorably combined with white inserts, complementing the lightness and piquancy with marigolds. It is not necessary to draw strawberries on all plates, it is enough to choose a nameless and a thumb for decoration, while the rest can be decorated with compositions in the form of whipped cream. The green strawberry tail will be the finishing touch in nail art, it should be carefully drawn in the hole of the marigold.

Well suited for summer shellac and oriental design. Delicate manicure can be used as an addition to both everyday and evening looks. The basis for such a design will be a classic French manicure, it will be gorgeously decorated with Chinese painting in the form of cherry blossoms.

Autumn shellac should be decorated in orange and yellow colors. In addition, a bright palette can be diluted with bluish, blue and gray-white shades that are associated with rainy weather. An interesting option would also be the use of gold paints. To get a beautiful fall manicure, you need to adhere to a certain sequence.

• First, prepare the plates (give them shape, length and degrease). After covering with the base, the main background is applied to the nails, choosing a gray-white gel polish for this.
• Then, using a thin brush, golden and blue leaves are drawn on each finger. You can outline their contours with orange gel polish and put a few yellow dots.
• Then everything is dried under a lamp and fixed with a protective layer. If desired, the design is complemented with rhinestones or sparkles.

Autumn compositions also look beautiful in openwork performance. The background is made green, and the patterns are applied with dark green and golden gel polish. Such a design will give the image a real autumnal touch. To make the composition look more spectacular, cover only two nails on the hand with dark green varnish, while the rest are decorated with golden shades. Using cling film, each plate is decorated in turn with openwork patterns.

In addition, such nail art looks interesting with painting. Compositions in the form of rowan or maple leaves are applied on a bright fiery or yellow background. If desired, drawings of red berries, mushrooms and acorns can be applied to the nails. For girls who like a strict design without drawings, you can perform a gradient manicure with smooth transitions of red and orange colors. For an evening look, nail art must be complemented with sparkles.

Winter shellac is special because it is dominated by a festive style. Winter is considered the time of year from which everyone expects the fulfillment of cherished desires. Therefore, a manicure should be magical, fabulous, decorated with compositions in the New Year's theme. A beautiful outfit and hairstyle will help complement it. The main difference between winter shellac is the presence of compositions in the form of bows, garlands, New Year's toys, a Christmas tree, balls and snowflakes.

Winter decor is not easy to create as it requires drawing skills. In addition, it is necessary to correctly select the colors of the gel polish. Stylists recommend choosing purple, blue, blue, white and silver shades for winter shellac. A classic option for such a manicure will be a jacket, which can be decorated with blurred borders, sparkles, rhinestones and the effect of broken glass. As patterns, images of teeth, geometric shapes and waves are well suited. A bold combination of shellac with other design techniques is allowed in winter nail art this winter. Therefore, in one embodiment, you can apply gel polish at the same time, make an unusual jacket and insert metallic elements or bushings.

The spring design of marigolds in the next season will be presented with multi-colored shellac. Purple, pale pink and beige colors are the right choice. In this case, it is recommended to decorate the separately unnamed marigold with golden or silver foil. This will give the manicure both brightness and restraint. This kind of nail art works well for a romantic date.

In spring, a two-color coating of the plates will also be in trend. Velvet sand and glitter will help to dilute the uniformity of matte paints. Creating a spring look, girls need to do a gentle and non-defiant manicure. Pink, snow white and pastel shades will go well with light outfits.
