Original ideas for creating a winter manicure with gel polish

The desire of a woman to take care of herself is quite natural. By harmoniously combining clothes, accessories, makeup, shoes and hair, we get a stylish and modern set. However, the assertive element of the female image is the pertinent nail art. Since winter is just around the corner, we suggest plunging into the intricacies of winter manicure in order to have time to acquire fashionable types of coatings and materials for decorating nails.

Despite the fact that beauty bloggers have a lot of conflicting opinions on this topic, professional masters clearly identify the standard of beauty to which one should strive. A few months ago, long nails and sharp stilettos were popular, but today you need to find a middle ground between short and long nails. The length of the overgrown edge of the plate should not exceed 7 mm. It is this option that is considered ideal, medium-length nails are comfortable in everyday life and, moreover, look beautiful with any shade of coverage.

To choose the most successful option for herself, a woman should take into account not so much the size of the nail plate as its length, as well as the shape of the fingers themselves. The shape of the nail bed also matters. For example, oval nails are recognized as a versatile option.They are comfortable, do not interfere with everyday life, are easy to clean, and can give your fingers elegance. In addition, this form is less susceptible to brittleness than others, and therefore it is suitable for thinned marigolds.

Almonds are characterized by incredible femininity., such nails attract the attention of others, any winter design will look beautiful on them. The same can be said for the rounded square. This shape is flawless, but, unfortunately, it is not possible to make it on any nails, since it will look ugly with a short length and a flat nail bed.

Winter manicure is one of the fashion trends this year. At the same time, you can make a fashionable design in a variety of ways. The first thing worth paying attention to is the shades. The priority is cold blue and blue tones, they are better than other colors in the palette capable of adding the desired atmosphere to the manicure. Dark pigments of the color palette will become popular shades.

In addition, fashion believes that in everything there should be a certain restraint and coldness. Therefore, it is worth creating a manicure with an emphasis on minimalism, to which the look of nail trends is directed. First of all, this is a reduction in accents in design, restraint in the choice of decorative materials and their strict dosage. It is important to think over the size of prints so that they look not only beautiful, but also expressive.

It is popular to use different powders in order to create a play of texture. By matting or, conversely, giving texture, for example, mother-of-pearl or northern lights, you can make even a laconic type of coating special. You can also use the veil as a background for further decoration. The veil is an excellent base for a background on which you can make a three-dimensional drawing.

The upcoming winter season will give fans of fashionable designs a lot of original and harmonious color combinations. At the same time, fashion does not limit women in choosing colors, offering not only tones of the blue range, but also pastel, nude and neutral colors. Dark pigments are called incredibly popular by professional craftsmen: rich emerald, eggplant and marsal shade.

In addition, a fashionable color scheme is the use of several related tones of the same color in the design. Effective combinations of the season will be combinations:

• wine with white;
• blue with blue;
• blue with blue and white;
• burgundy with silver;
• blue and white;
• black with coffee and white;
• May beetle with white and purple;
• eggplant with silver;
• white with dark gray;
• black and blue with milk;
• powder and blue;
• peach and blue;
• red with white.

Winter manicure of the new season can be performed using different techniques. At the same time, the design can be both independent and combined.

For example, you can take the classics as a basis (staining nails over the entire area with one color). You can decorate such a manicure with a play of matte and glossy textures. For example, you can paint lace with glossy gel polish on a matte accent nail background.

A trendy winter design will also be a gradient. Moreover, it can be not only vertical or horizontal. Today, you can create an ombre effect on the nails of different fingers. Each of them is painted with a varnish that differs from the other pigment by half a tone. This type of smooth stretch looks very nice, but it is better to use related shades of the same color for the design.

One of the easy solutions for winter is a French manicure. It can be both traditional flesh and made in various color combinations. The design on accent nails of a jacket can be performed on a painted base, as well as using the technique of negative space. For example, covering a transparent varnish with a light veil, and then performing a lace design in the form of frosty patterns on the base with a light mother-of-pearl, you can create the effect of crystal or snow.

Winter manicure using the broken glass technique will look great. At the same time, it is advisable to use light shades in the design, since they will be more like the effect of broken glass. In order for such a manicure to have a high status, it is preferable to dose the decor and perform it on only two out of ten nails. For dark varnishes, you can pick up a holographic film - it will bring the right mood for a festive manicure.

This technique would be appropriate to use for accents. However, if earlier it was necessarily accompanied by a pattern, today it is gaining popularity to perform vertical stripes over a translucent base. By the way, they can be done using the gradient technique, sprinkling with acrylic powder on top. In addition, elongated triangles that are fashionable today look stylish on the veils, extending from the base to the edge of the nail plate.

You can use different materials for winter design. For example, flock powder with a felt effect would be an excellent option. She is more capable of creating designs with a Christmas overtones than other materials. It can cover nails completely or create drawings.

When it comes to stamping and stickers for this season's winter manicure, the focus will be frosty patterns, large snowflakes, knitted patterns, lanterns and Norwegian ornaments. Fashion suggests paying attention to mehendi-style patterns and dot patterns. Today this trend is gaining momentum in popularity, this design is considered stylish and effective.

As for Christmas bears, deer, snowmen and bullfinches, such pictures often simplify stylish designs. If you really want something special in the design of a manicure, giving off a holiday atmosphere, it is better to rely on colors and texture. For example, the same knitted pattern in red and white will look better on the nails than children's snowmen and comical deer.

Studio masters prefer more stylish solutions. They offer their clients a spectacular gradient using foil tape or, say, glitter. The sequins create a French effect, giving the design the appearance of bubbling up champagne. You can use pearl rub for the effect of snow. Today it is considered the most popular polyester powder.

A stylish solution for the winter will be to decorate your nails with a water design. It is created with drops of varnish right in the water, then painted with a toothpick, and then a finger is dipped into the water. Such a design is always unique, besides, in cold colors it will look calm, but very impressive. You can supplement such a basis with stamping.

The choice of decorative elements should be based on the months of the year.This is how the manicure will more harmoniously flow into one or another female set. For example, for the beginning of December, a simple drawing that can be done manually, use a sticker or a stencil is quite enough. By the end of December, you can switch to rhinestones and stones.

This decor can indicate the cuticle area. Kamifubuki will also be useful, with which you can highlight accents, for example, in the form of a jacket of accent fingers. It is not worth scattering them over the entire plate, but on part of the nail plate, and even better at the base of the vertical strip, they will look very impressive.

It is also advisable to use acrylic powder with glitter on New Year's holidays. The non-glitter powder is good for all winter months. For veils with holographic and metal effects, these options are good for the holidays, but inappropriate for daily bows. And also it is worth considering the fact that the mirror textures of rubbing today are gradually becoming a thing of the past.

Inlay can be done with opals and Swarovski crystals. However, in order for them to look expressive, you should not clutter up the entire area of ​​the accent nail with them. A fairly small composition at the base of the plate, and on one hand (no more). You can simply sprinkle a neighboring accent with acrylic sand or rub a weightless veil into it.
