Stylish white and blue manicure
Blue and white manicure is a unique option that looks equally harmonious in winter and summer. Another undoubted advantage of such a manicure is the ability to use a variety of decorative elements for nails, which will give the design additional expressiveness and boldness.
Combination features
Every year stylists invite women to try new shades of manicure, combine unusual colors in design, and select a new shape of nails. Blue and white manicure has become one of the most popular trends in 2018-2019. Why did this combination attract the attention of stylists so much? Let's consider the main features of such a manicure.
- This bold combination was created for women who are not afraid of major changes in their lives and do not follow the lead of stereotypes and prejudices. It just so happens that blue is considered masculine. Ladies who follow fashion have long known that this opinion is a relic of the past, and blue has long been used by women in manicure, clothing, and accessories. And the addition of white tones makes this color more feminine.
- The main associations that arise in the mind of a person who heard about the blue-white combination are the sea and the sky. That is, these shades symbolize inner freedom, serenity and tranquility.
- Even in medicine and psychology, blue is of particular importance. For example, ultramarine calms, relaxes, slows down the heart rate; blue shades contribute to concentration and development of creativity; dark blue indicates intelligence and dispassion.
- The advantage of blue and white manicure is its boring combination, which will be a great addition to a fashionable look and will be remembered by others.
- Such a manicure is perfect for a daily, evening or formal look, it can take place in sports and formal styles.
- The blue has so many variations that every woman will be able to choose the color that is most in harmony with the skin tone and the shape of the nails.
The only drawback of a blue and white manicure is the need to have carefully groomed nails, because the blue color will quickly indicate all the existing shortcomings.
Popular options
French
Classic French manicure is always relevant, and if it is done in blue, it adds even more expressiveness to the design. You can perform a manicure using 3D gel or acrylic. First, the master applies a standard jacket in blue, then the nails are covered with camouflage material, and a volumetric drawing in white is done on top.
Alternatively, you can make a dotted frame in white on each nail under the main jacket, and on one of the fingers you can make white modeling - a flower with a rhinestone inserted in the center.
A white jacket with a blue rose on one of the nails will look neat and gentle. There is something girlish, teenage, soft in this design.
Gradient
Gradient manicure in blue and white color looks very elegant and artful. If you use a blue shade, your nails will look very gentle and spring-like. Such a manicure is suitable as a daily manicure, as well as for a vacation trip. If you apply ultramarine or purple shades, then this will be a design for a gala evening.
For brightness and expressiveness, additional decor can be applied over the gradient paint. An abstract figure or hieroglyph made in black will look beautiful.
Girls with humor can depict a blue cat's footprint on a blue-white gradient.
Lunar
Lunar manicure is the highlighting of the hole in some color, or, on the contrary, it is not stained. A lunar manicure made in a pale blue color will look very gentle. Each hole can be painted in a white frame, and one of the nails can be completely painted over in white and draw on it an empty drawing inside in a blue frame, for example, a heart.
For autumn, a moon manicure in dark blue tones is still more suitable. In this case, the hole can be painted over with white varnish and a golden border can be drawn.
The blue gradient and the white hole look unusual. If an unpainted line is drawn between them, then this will give the manicure maximum charm.
Drawings
The blue and white colors are so contrasting, and at the same time, so combined that they allow you to make a wide variety of drawings on the nail plate on any topic. If a woman goes to sea, then a white sail against a blue background can be “placed” on the nail. A very unusual option is painting under Gzhel, but it is better in this case to use only two nails, for example, on the ring and middle fingers, and paint the rest in a dark blue shade. White roses or other patterns on a blue background will look very gentle and feminine.
Sequins and rhinestones
The combination of blue and white can be used in the case of decorating nails with sparkles and rhinestones. A popular and uncomplicated option even for a novice master:
- cover the nails on the thumb, forefinger and little finger in completely blue, apply the same shade on the middle nail, but with sparkles;
- paint the nail of the ring finger with white varnish and lay out the cobalt rhinestones on the border of the hole.
Design variations with sparkles and rhinestones can be different, here the master can use all his imagination.
Adding red tints
The marine manicure looks very impressive, which is an alternation of white stripes and aqua lines.An interspersed red tint will look even brighter and more unusual. For example, one of the stripes can be made red, or a purple anchor or shell can be drawn, covering the top with gilding. The red heart on a blue and white background also looks nice.
If a woman likes a combination of blue, white and red shades, then an interesting option is the image of the British flag. If you draw the symbolism on each nail, then the image will be lost, so it is better to apply the drawing on only one nail, and make a blue jacket on the rest. You can add white or blue rhinestones.
Blue-red-white nails with an abstract design look very impressive. You can apply your favorite colors in random order with small strokes.
In this case, dark noble tones will look more impressive.
Interesting design examples
Refined charm
A dark, almost black matte Prussian blue manicure looks very beautiful and expensive. If you choose the right tone, you are allowed to no longer use any effects. Alternatively, you can paint one nail light beige and apply white and sapphire crystals of different sizes on top.
Winter
A dark blue sky, white stars, a forest blackening in the distance: if the nail plate allows, then a skilled craftsman can depict any landscape on the nail. The white month or the northern lights will look great on a black-blue sky. When doing a winter painting, white and blue tones usually become the main ones. You can draw blue snowflakes on a snow-white background. A more cheerful drawing is a smiling white snowman on a bluish surface.
A red-breasted bullfinch on one or two nails will emphasize the winter theme. The rest of the nails can be covered with white, and the background under the bullfinch can be made pale blue by adding a handful of mountain ash to the black branch on which the bird sits.
The light bear cub Umka looking out of a blue snowdrift will look cute and direct.
Pastel
The following design will look gentle and feminine: we apply a dark blue tone to the nails of the thumb, forefinger and little finger. Cover the nail of the middle finger with a delicate beige-pink varnish. We paint the nail of the ring finger white and draw dark azure flowers. It will look interesting if it is cornflowers, then you can add one beige and pink carnation to them.
Night sky
White stars and a moon on a dark blue background have already been described above. Another unusual nighttime option is the image of the constellation Ursa Major.
Summer
Blue and white shades can be used to create not only winter but also summer designs. One example: we apply a blue jacket on the nails on the little finger, ring finger and thumb, on the other nails we perform white French manicure and draw blue butterflies.
The result is a stylish and fun design.
Berries
Another summer option is the image of blue berries on a white background. It is better to draw berries on two nails, and completely cover the rest with the same varnish or color to match. Blackberries, grapes, blueberries, blueberries are suitable as a pattern. The splash of green leaves in a handful of berries will delight the eye.
When choosing blue and white tones for creating a manicure, remember that blue is not just blue itself. All its variations are perfectly combined with white - blue, indigo, turquoise, ultramarine, gray and cornflower blue shades. Another advantage of this combination is the ability to insert contrasting colors - red, yellow, green, black, so a design made in blue and white is almost impossible to spoil with additional decorative elements.
