Bright and delicate ideas for combining purple with white in manicure
Purple has many shades - dark, light, close to blue or almost burgundy. And among them you can always find the one that suits you personally. One of the most delicate shades was recently declared the color of the year by the American color agency Pantone. This ultraviolet shade (Ultra Violet, 18-3838) is discreet, goes well with white and can even be suitable for office manicure.
Classical technique
The most elementary version of a manicure - one-color with a full coverage of the nail plate, can be varied by painting some nails with purple varnish, and others with white. If this option seems too boring, you can diversify it with rhinestones, stickers and other special decorative elements.
You can also make drawings in the form of white flowers on a lilac background or, conversely, purple flowers on a white background. The latter option is, of course, easier to execute. And it is also enough to buy the appropriate stickers on the nails - they will significantly save time and simplify the process if you do the manicure yourself.
You can also draw geometric patterns, circles, leopard or tiger patterns.
The latter in the violet and white version will look especially unusual.
And you can also add other colors, such as gold lacquer or gold loose sequins. The combination of purple varnish with white craquelure or the effect of "cat's eye" will be fashionable and unusual.
French version
Traditional French manicure is a nail plate covered with clear varnish and a white stripe along the edge. He gained popularity primarily for its simplicity, versatility and appropriateness in any, even the most strict dress code.But since the advent of French manicure, designers have created a huge number of original variations.
With a purple base, French manicure loses its simplicity and inconspicuousness., since this color, even in the lightest version, remains very noticeable. However, it turns out to be very original. In addition, the white stripe provides a noticeable color contrast, adding to the effect of the nail design.
As an experiment, you can also make a white stripe not exactly along the edge of the nail plate, but at an angle, or even move it to the base of the cuticle.
Ombre
Ombre is a very popular varnishing technique nowadays. Outwardly, the result of this technique is similar to drawing with watercolors. Which, at first glance, seems unusual, because nail polishes have a completely different consistency than honey watercolor.
However, such a manicure is done with ordinary varnishes or gel varnishes using a sponge or similar means. And in the case of a combination of purple and white, the final version will be very effective. So much so that he will not need any additional decorations and even unnecessary.
Coating shades and color types
When choosing the color of the varnish, do not forget that on your hands you also have skin of a certain shade and undertone. And in the case of a manicure, the color type will also play a role. Maybe not as significant as makeup, hair color and clothing, but it is also worth taking into account. Moreover, we usually do a manicure as part of a complete image.
There are only 12 color types and they are all divided into 4 groups-seasons - winter, spring, summer and autumn. As mentioned above, among the purple shades there are very different ones - you can always find the one that suits your particular color.
Purple is a combination of blue and red. Accordingly, for cold color types, it is better to choose purple with a predominance of blue. These include ultraviolet, dark indigo, Persian blue, violet. All of them, except for the last one, belong to dark and saturated shades, therefore they are most suitable for “winter” colors and “late autumn”.
