Gel polish for long nails: colors, decor and new designs

A modern woman often cannot afford to grow long nails. It's all the fault of household chores and a busy schedule, because of which she simply has no time to constantly put them in order. The way out of the situation will be to perform a long-lasting manicure using gel polish or shellac, after which you can forget about the problem for a long time. What trendy ideas are currently at their peak?

You can emphasize the beauty of long nails by covering them with shellac in light shades. How it works? A monochromatic finish stretches the nail, while a lighter color draws attention to the shape. Optionally, you can add drawings or decorations on the ring and middle fingers, which is relevant.

Before choosing a shade, you need to take into account the skin color. Owners of peach and pinkish shades of natural cover are better off choosing cold tones of varnish. Swarthy ladies need to combine olive, yellow and beige tones in a manicure. Snow White can safely paint her nails with pink and powdery varnishes.

For long nails, polishes with a matte texture are perfect. These relative newcomers to the nail industry go well with shiny jewelry such as rhinestones, broken glass, sequins, and other shiny décor items.

Well-groomed overgrown or extended nails with the help of gel polish will decorate almost any color.You can not be afraid that dark shades will visually reduce the nail plate, but feel free to choose burgundy, dark green, black colors with a matte texture.

Ombre will look very beautiful on long nails of any shape, that is, a manicure with a smooth transition from a light shade to a dark one. Due to the relatively large surface area of ​​the coating, it is possible to stretch the border of colors and make it smoother.

What color combinations are especially beautiful and popular this season:

• black with pink, yellow, peach, white;

• blue with pink and blue;

• white with red and pink.

Thermal gel polishes can also be attributed to ombre. These are specific coatings that change their color depending on the ambient temperature. Moreover, the regrown long ends change the shade in the first place, which creates the ombre effect. On short nails, practically no temperature difference is created.

The classics will never go out of style. French will only emphasize the femininity and sophistication of long nails. Traditional white and pink French manicure can be done, as well as colored, where the tips are painted in any other desired color.

French can be supplemented with rhinestones, patterns of various types, and also combined with solid nails. The geometry of the nail tip is performed in different ways, for example, the classic oval is replaced by an angular shape, which will look especially advantageous with long and sharp nails.

Long-lasting manicure on long nails, done with gel polish or shellac, allows you to use interesting effects for nail design. The modified top layer, when using special tools, becomes rough and very original in appearance. For everyday wear, it is better not to cover all the nails with texture, but to smooth the general appearance of the manicure, diluting it with a standard varnish. A manicure looks very stylish, for example, with broths that go to match the main varnish.

Gold and silver shades are still in fashion. Now there is no need to look for a varnish with a metallic sheen effect. It is most naturally imitated by special rub-in for gel coatings. They are applied to the nail, fixed with an ultraviolet lamp and shine great. You can choose these products with a rainbow shimmer called a chameleon.

In addition to the classic shades of gold and silver, you can choose products that will add a mirror-like shine to any varnish. Such rubbing allows you to easily and quickly make a trendy manicure.

The newfangled yuki pigment is very interesting to work with. It reveals its full potential just on long nails. It can be hammered or rubbed, each time getting new patterns and effects. The colors are also on sale in a variety of ways. You can choose them for every taste, color and wallet.

Elongated twigs, bunches of fruits, beautiful leaves will look just right on long nails. You can depict large simple patterns and not be afraid that they will visually shorten the nail plate. Small patterns in the form of a scattering of flowers look delicate and sophisticated, fit a calm image and will not be conspicuous.

It is better to use contrasting color combinations to highlight the ornament. If you plan to focus only on the hands in the form of a graceful, discreet image of flowers or leaves, it is allowed to use colors that are close in tone or make completely relief outlines with a special coating. It is very fashionable now.

You can decorate long nails with such shiny elements in honor of a holiday or a special evening, but for every day, if you do not get carried away, such a manicure will do. Shellac and gel polish last for a very long time by themselves.But in order to preserve the durability of the attached rhinestones, you must definitely choose a special high-quality base.

How you can lay out rhinestones on long nails:

• along the growth line of the nail plate, emphasizing the hole (often used in plain and French manicure);
• perpendicular to the hole in the form of a thin line, which visually lengthens the nail even more;
• randomly gluing to the nail plate (looks good as a nuance on one or two nails);
• in the form of a specific geometric pattern or image outline.

These are shiny flat sequins used especially for long-lasting manicure. A rich palette of such jewelry allows you to choose a style of manicure with them for almost any occasion. It is necessary to have experience in handling them in order to get a flawless look of nails the first time. But the effort will pay off, as kamifubuki are the perfect addition to the base coat of your nails.

Where, if not on long nails, to use this fashionable style of nail art? Areas not covered with colored varnish, interspersed with geometric patterns or the same rhinestones, look very interesting and at the same time soft. There is not enough space for fantasy on the short nail plate.

Special foil for manicure imitating mirror shards has been used by true professionals for several years. On a long nail plate, you can easily apply this effect and make it more visual.
