Ideas for a stylish white matte manicure
One of the hits of the new nail season was a matte white manicure. It would seem that a laconic solution cannot surprise modern women of fashion. However, the material in this article proves the opposite.
Peculiarities
White is included in the palette of neutral colors, without itself having an emotional coloring. But as soon as at least a minimal contrast is added to it, it instantly changes and looks completely different. At the same time, the dullness of the texture gives the design a certain status. Thanks to this, white manicure will decorate any feminine look.
The color is not tied to a specific age group, although there are situations in which it is best to avoid staining your nails with white varnish. For example, for older ladies, this is not the best option, because it will emphasize the flabbiness and old age of the skin.
In addition, white does not go well with some styles of clothing. If it is appropriate in strict and office bows, then it is hardly suitable for Gothic.
Nuances of form
White is picky about the shape of the nails, since it can create the effect of shortening and expanding. For this reason, it is undesirable to use it for short marigolds, as well as flattened ones. With a lack of length and roundness of a natural nail, it will further modify the plate for the worse.
White varnish looks great on long nails, as well as on medium-length nails, which is especially fashionable today. As for the shape of the edge, today it can be different. An oval is considered ideal, besides it, a straight line with slightly rounded sides and almond-shaped are relevant. If we talk about stilettos, then fashion does not yet seek to return to them, since its main trends are minimalism and the desire for naturalness.
What happens?
There are several varieties of matte varnish. Today, in addition to the traditional version, trade companies delight fashionistas with matte coatings with a textile effect. This allows us to play up the seasonality of the design that modern fashion strives for.
For example, for summer, you can pick up a varnish with a satin texture; for autumn, an option with a velvety texture will be relevant. For the other two seasons, you can purchase analogs for suede or corduroy.
If there is no matte varnish at home, you can do it yourself. To do this, you can coat your glossy nails with a matte finish. When drying in a special manicure device, the coating will instantly become matte. If there is no finish, you can use special powders that will help recreate a velvety or even felt effect.
Design Basics
Matte white manicure today can be very diverse. However, so that he does not shout about himself, but nobly completes the female bow, there are some rules to keep in mind.
- When adding color or neutral contrast to white, the white base should dominate.
- Do not overload the base color with more than two contrasting tones.
- Color implies tenderness, so you need to carefully consider any decor and its theme.
- You can't decorate all 10 nails the same way if you want to decorate a solid base.
- You should not clone the pattern on accent nails, because of this, the design loses its status.
- It is undesirable to use several types of decor at once. Instead of a sense of subtle taste, design can be doomed to fashion failure.
In order for a manicure to look beautiful and speak of the sophistication of a woman, you need to give it expressiveness. Of course, a laconic matte manicure of a classic type or a simple monochromatic nail dyeing also looks great. However, even two accents in the same jacket can give it lightness and a certain airiness.
And if you decorate your nails with lace, which is especially fashionable today, then this design will be able to decorate the image of the bride.
Do not paint all your nails completely. This will allow you to add something special to the design, because the combination of different techniques is today considered one of the best ways to get the perfect design. For accents, you can leave two nails on each hand, or even create design options in different techniques, making sure that the role of the dominant in them is assigned to a white matte varnish.
Fashion options
The matte color of the varnish looks great in contrast to the glossy one. Today, the play of contrasts is one of the trends of the nail season. It is fashionable to paint thin and lacy patterns on a matte base with glossy pigment. In addition, these patterns can be sprinkled on top with special manicure powder or sugar. Due to this, even the most laconic nail design is significantly transformed.
White goes well with light gray, silver and black. Adding neutral contrasts allows you to change the perception of a manicure and add notes to the desired theme.
For example, silver can be used to denote a French smile or a moon manicure hole. Black pigment is good for creating geometric patterns or ethnic ornaments - options for decorating accent nails that are especially fashionable today.
You can simply paint your nails with white matte varnish and mark the cuticle area on one or two out of ten fingers. Small rhinestones are perfect for accentuating it. In this case, the bow of an inverted jacket can be not only traditional, but also asymmetrical.
Place rhinestones on other nails must be dosed. If the cuticle area is already highlighted in the design, more than one or two rhinestones on the adjacent nail are not needed, otherwise the manicure risks losing its status and sophistication.
Decor
You can decorate white nails with a matte base with different decorative elements.
Today the nail industry offers a lot of tools that will allow you to add special notes to the design:
- kamifubuki;
- art painting;
- stickers;
- stamping;
- acrylic Powder;
- rubbing;
- foil tape;
- manicure sand.
Each type of decor has a different mood with which it infuses the design. For example, rubbing in can give a crisp white accent nail base a pearl effect, which is considered trendy today. With the help of powder, they create relief patterns, due to which the manicure acquires a special premium and extraordinary effect.
As for hand drawing, the trendy drawings today are:
- geometric patterns;
- floral and plant motifs;
- compositions for two or three nails;
- stripes and polka dots;
- pretty cats and other marshmallow paraphernalia;
- panda bears with bamboo leaves;
- silver verticals;
- Yin Yang;
- patterns of knitted sweaters with braids;
- hearts, spiders with cobwebs;
- a variety of lace and monograms.
Logomania has become one of the trendy novelties of white matte manicure. Logos, strokes of fashion houses on white nails look super stylish and clear. And if silver or black gel is also added, such a design looks especially high-status.
For a manicure to be expressive, one accent nail on each hand is enough. To achieve the perfect result, use a ready-made sticker or professionally paint the design with a thin brush.
Chiseled technique is another trash of the season, thanks to which you can refine your white manicure. It denotes holes, a cuticle area, a smile, mask the joints of two contrasting varnishes on one accent nail. Dots with different attachments are used for this. The checkered pattern created by pastel tones and silver on a white matte accent background also looks stylish.
