Nail design with gel polish in pastel colors

With the onset of the new nail season, the color palette of colors is enriched with fresh shades. This applies to each of its groups, especially pastel colors, the colors of which form the basis for the most elegant design solutions. Since the design of nails with gel polish in pastel colors has its own nuances, we will dwell on them in more detail, indicating what exactly the changeable fashion offers to its fans today.

Fashion is tired of bulky designs and weighty designs this season. She decided to take a break and teach us, with the seeming simplicity of coatings, to introduce high-status notes into manicure. For this she has a lot of tools and techniques in store. For example, now it is not customary to sculpt decor on all ten nails, as it was before. This approach is today considered a sign of bad taste and bad taste.

Pastel colors are distinguished by tenderness, and therefore the fashion considered that it is important to focus on the texture of the gel polishes used. For example, she suggests paying attention to matte coatings with a textile effect. Satin, velvet, velor and suede in pastel shades will look very gentle and feminine on the nails.

In the new season, the design of pastel nails has acquired its own characteristic features. It is now more sophisticated due to the fewer accents and décor used. The best places for accents were the ring and middle fingers.If the design needs to sit on three nail plates, it is recommended to add an index finger nail to two adjacent nails.

In addition, it became necessary to devote more time to the accents themselves, from the thoughtfulness of the print theme to its inlay. As for rhinestones and stones, they moved from placers and compositions to dotted arrangement and minimalism. By the way, exactly minimalism has become the basis of all the trends of the new season... This should be manifested both in the use of a minimum number of pastel shades in the design, and in the size of the decor and print of accents.

High-quality artistic painting has become especially highly appreciated, through which it is possible to indicate the belonging of a design to a particular style and season. Today, professional nail service masters bring it to art, sometimes creating masterpiece nail designs. As far as prints are concerned, it is advisable that they avoid cloning, which leads to a simplified design. The main drawing was on one out of ten nails. Two or three others should only link it to the main background manicure (pedicure) solution.

Seasonal design has become another trend to strive for. Fashion proposes to use for this a different emotional color of pastel shades, their different temperature and saturation. In addition, she pays attention to the possibility of conveying the desired mood and design through drawing and pattern. There are a lot of proposals for this: stamping, stickers and slider design, stencils, and, of course, hand-painted.

It should be noted, and a variety of powders and powders, which are perfectly suited for coatings in pastel colors, ennobling their texture. In the new season, we are invited to move away from mirrored and holographic textures and pay attention to the mermaid effect and pearl veil. It is these types of rubbing that will be in demand in design more than others. In addition, dust with a satin effect, matting the glossy surface of the hybrid coating, is topical. As for acrylic powder, the priority is given to its varieties with a fine fraction and without excess shine.

Design colors in pastel colors can be different. However, fashion suggests resorting to shades of nude and flesh tones for a daily set. They look great in any image of a woman outside of her style and status in society. In addition, it is an excellent base for any design and decor, powdery pinkish shades are combined with almost any tone of contrast and neutral colors.

The focus is on delicate pinks and lilacs. Today they are considered one of the most relevant for different styles of manicure. The pale pink color of gel polish can be combined with gray pigment; such a contrast is considered stylish and effective. In addition, cream and bleached coral looks good in a casual look. Such paints allow you to add warmth to the set and look harmoniously on the nails of women of different ages.

Powdery and beige tones can be combined with brown, silver, golden pigments. Moreover, each combination will differ in its emotional coloring, due to which you can enrich your set with notes of luxury or elegance.

Moreover, often in order for a design to acquire a high status, only a drop of a bright companion is needed. As for pink, it looks good with white, lilac, pistachio.

There are also special pastel colors that can be used to enrich a women's set. Of course, they cannot be called universal, since for a harmonious infusion into a particular image, they need support in the form of an accessory or a related shade in clothing. These are pearlescent mint, light purple, lavender, delicate turquoise, caramel tones.In addition, blue is very popular, and even its combination with pink is now considered the hit of the season.

The focus of fashion trends and soft green shades. They help to enrich delicate pastels with freshness, emphasize its femininity. Most often, green is used in design as a picture or pattern. As for neutral tones, they are more used for thin lines and geometric designs. The most popular are the tones that have an iridescent pearl effect.

The method of creating any design will depend on its technique and purpose. At the same time, high-quality preparation of nails cannot be avoided, without which no design will look status. It is worth dwelling in detail on how to create a gel polish coating of nails. Let's take a look at the main points to help you perform a high-quality application without bald spots and streaks.

For the workflow, you need to prepare:

• drying lamp;
• orange stick;
• scissors;
• pusher;
• napkins for manicure;
• base and top;
• pigmented gel varnishes;
• dehydrator;
• thin brush;
• cuticle remover;
• decor (optional).

Initially, the marigolds are treated with an antiseptic, after which a special substance is applied to the skin around the cuticle, which helps to separate the cuticle freely and painlessly. Hands are immersed in a bath of warm water for a few minutes. After that, they are wiped off and the edge is formed, and then the cuticle and pterygium are lifted with a pusher paddle. The next step will be to get rid of the cuticle of the nail, for which they take nail scissors and cut off all the excess.

In this case, it can be trimmed immediately. Failure to remove the pterygium or cuticle will cause varnish to bleed. To soothe your skin, you can apply a soothing oil to the treatment area.

After a hygienic manicure, it is necessary to remove the gloss from the nail plates using a buff. In this case, you need to go through the entire plate and even its hard-to-reach places with a soft grinder. Then they take a brush and remove the sawdust. Its remains are cleaned with a napkin dipped in a dehydrator. Before applying the coating, you will have to take care of the adhesion and strengthening of the marigolds. If they are thin, a primer can be used.

Now you can start sequential application of varnish materials. First, take the base and apply it in a thin layer so that it does not flow over the cuticle and side ridges. It is dried in a lamp, after which they begin to dye. Take a pigmented background varnish and apply it over the base. Since at this stage you need to make an even line of the base, it is created with a thin brush.

Then the varnish is trimmed and dried in a lamp. Since one layer of colored varnish is usually not enough to cover the nail plate, the operation with application and drying in a lamp is repeated. Now you can start drawing or applying a sticker.

In the version with water-based stickers on a transparent background, a base will have to be applied under the sticker. After that, the water slider is moistened, removed from the substrate and fixed on the accent nail. It is sealed with a layer of base and then top. Each layer is dried, then the residual stickiness is quickly removed with a napkin dipped in gel polish remover.

When covering at home, it will be useful to arm yourself with the recommendations of professional nail masters.

• In order for the applied material to be evenly distributed without bald spots, you need to use raw materials with good pigmentation.
• The coating will not have time to flow out of the plate if it is applied thinly and only two nails are dried in a lamp at a time.

• So that the varnish does not form a large thickness on the sides when spreading, the nail is turned down and, in a few seconds, is immediately placed in the lamp.
• To prevent the coating from chipping, you must remember to walk along the end of the nail with each applied material.
• The varnish fades due to a lack of power of the used drying lamp or due to a violation of the technology of its production.
• The applied coating darkens due to its porosity. This can be caused by makeup, hair dye, cleaning fluids and alpha hydroxy acid creams on the surface.

The same can be said about the option when the coating begins to collect with wrinkles. The polymerization must be complete, the drying time must not be shortened. To prevent the coating from changing color all the time you wear it, you need to avoid contact with household chemicals.

Pastel nail designs can be very diverse. These are beautiful snowflakes, autumn leaves, mittens, and even a marshmallow theme. Various decorative elements can be used to decorate nails, including rhinestones, kamifubuki, film, foil tape. The design in pastel colors will look beautiful if you decorate its accents with lace and monograms, using stamping and stickers. Delicate pastels allow you to bring to life a wide variety of creative solutions. Let's turn to ideas:
