Fashion trends in turquoise manicure

With the arrival of the new season, many shades have been added to the color palette of popular paints for fresh manicure. One of them is turquoise: today no modern fashionista can do without such a shade. However, in order for the design of nails to be not only spectacular, but also breathe with nobility and status, you need to know the basic rules that fashion trends adhere to. What is fashionable today and how to apply this or that innovation, using a specific design technique, will be discussed further.

Turquoise is not a universal color. Composed of two tones (blue and green), it has a different perception due to which of the colors dominates the design. Shades of this color can be light, almost white, or saturated and dark. Today, the following tones of turquoise are in fashion:

• light turquoise cold;
• soft rich turquoise;
• cyan with a warm blue undertone;
• bright turquoise (with a balance of blue and green);

• mint turquoise;
• gray-turquoise;
• dark turquoise tending towards blue;
• the shade of thrush eggs;

• aquamarine greenish;
• black and turquoise, tending to the tone of the sea wave;
• turquoise jade;
• blue-turquoise.

Designs in soft turquoise color, turquoise blue tones of Krayola and aquamarine Krayola are especially in demand today.In addition, the turquoise color palette includes a luxurious light sea green and Persian green turquoise.

On the market of varnish products, coatings in turquoise tones are represented by several lines of gel varnishes. These include lacquer products:

• with a traditional glossy texture;
• with matte effect;
• temperature options that change color depending on changes in ambient temperature;
• with the effect of "cat's eye";

• with the visibility of a metal coating;
• with a translucent texture;
• shimmery with mother-of-pearl;
• with pearl effect;
• with glitter and various sparkles.

Among all this variety, the best choice for the new season are options with a matte and glossy texture, as well as gel polishes with a metal and pearl effect. These coatings open up a lot of possibilities for decorating nails and introducing novelty into a woman's bow. Glossy finishes are universal, because, in addition to being good as a basis for any technique, they are suitable for women of different age groups.

In the new season, fashion trends offer girls several solutions for choosing the shape of the nail plates. Of course, ideally, these are your own elongated nails. Moreover, their edge can be straightened or rounded. If the nail plates are short, then you already need to think about how to file them so that they look beautiful.

Too short nails are taboo today, as are their straight edge lines. The same can be said if the nail plates are flat: neither a straight shape nor sharp edges will look beautiful in this case. Here you need to grow the length and give the edge a rounded shape.

One of the trends this season has been the return of the almond shape. However, the fashion is not yet ready to return the length that the "butterfly" nails had. Of course, marigolds can be a little pointed, but excessive length and sharp edges are not a trend now. In general, elongated almond-shaped nails in turquoise color look beautiful and harmonious, which cannot be said about such a shape on coatings of other shades.

Turquoise needs a careful selection of contrast. It is this factor that is one of the main in creating a stylish manicure. For example, today stylists suggest paying attention to several combinations of this shade with other tones of the color palette.

According to them, turquoise goes well with:

• white;
• black;
• dark gray;
• light blue;
• white and nude;
• pinkish;

• nude and silver;
• lilac or purple;
• beige or sand;
• pink and silver;
• lilac and white;
• white and gold;

• peach;
• dark blue;
• bright blue;
• brown;
• orange;
• coral.

For example, for a purple-turquoise design, you should choose a calm shade of contrast. Without interrupting the overall design, it will make the base color more expressive and beautiful.

Whatever technique is taken today as the basis of manicure, you need to know what has changed this season. This will make it possible to make not only a beautiful, but also a modern design that will cause admiring glances. For example:

• moderation of decor and a reduction in the number of accents are important;
• stucco molding is a thing of the past, it makes the design heavy;
• voluminous decor gives way to flat;
• false nails are no longer fashionable, moreover, they are extremely uncomfortable;
• the trend is to emphasize the cuticle area with both a traditional and an asymmetric arch;
• the technique of negative space is relevant;

• the amount of shine is decreasing this season;
• jacket tends to asymmetry, priority is given to design with geometric shapes or diagonal;
• vertical, transverse and diagonal lines are popular;
• manicure should be seasonal, which is expressed through drawings or fixing decor;
• the drawings become lighter, their size should fit into the dimensions of the nail plate.

With regard to the negative space technique, it is worth noting that in essence it is a method that involves the use of clear varnish instead of the pigment of the entire nail plate. Its main goal is to showcase a healthy nail. The design is created in part, and it is important that the unpainted part of the nail is visible, and therefore the pattern or other decor should not be massive. For example, it can be an unpainted hole or a completely unpainted nail, which is decorated with a small pattern.

Today, there are several basic techniques that can be taken as a basis for a manicure in turquoise color. Among them there are traditional and new ones that have appeared in the fashionable nail industry quite recently.

This method of performing a manicure involves staining the entire area of ​​the nail plate. Often in this way they create a monochromatic manicure without any decor. Those who prefer decorating nails like this technique as a basis for applying decor. Cover the nails with pigmented varnish on the base layer.

Today, many people associate French manicure with the familiar classics, so the two terms are often confused. However, in fact, the jacket is performed by framing the upper edge of the nail plate with a contrasting color. This design is created by painting the nail completely, and then the upper arch or the so-called "smile" is painted with a different color. Sometimes the plate itself is covered with transparent varnish, and the smile is decorated with turquoise.

It may seem to unenlightened girls that this design is synonymous with moon manicure. However, in reality, an inverted French manicure has a painted arc at the very base of the nail plate. This arc is very thin today. Often, it highlights not only the cuticle area, but also goes higher, ending almost at the edge of the nail plate. You have to draw it carefully, because the slightest slipping on the skin spoils the appearance of the nail.

This option is nothing more than a manicure with holes. They can be traditional single or double bow. Today, moon manicure is fashionable to do using the technique of negative space. In this case, the hole, as a rule, is left unpainted or, conversely, is painted with a contrasting pigment, but the arc above it is left unpainted. Modern manicure often combines both a jacket and a moon design in one design. At the same time, such a design looks stylish and modern.

A gradient is a manicure technique that creates a stretch of color. The essence of the technique is to smoothly transition the main color into another. Several related or contrasting shades can be used in this case. This season, the ombre effect should be as soft and smooth as possible. It is undesirable for tone transitions to be sharp and noticeable. Gradient in turquoise tones is an excellent base for decorating and french.

This design is considered one of the most popular and fashionable today. In another way, it is called "tights", because it creates the effect of nylon stockings. For its implementation, a coating with a translucent texture is created. To do this, a little pigment is added to the transparent varnish and shaken, and then the nails are covered with a new product. After drying the hands under a special (UV or LED) lamp, paint on the nails using acrylic paint.

Such a manicure is the main trend today. It is created on the basis of pigment and a special film. The protective film is removed from it, then cut into small pieces and glued to the already painted nails and applied, but not yet dried top. Each piece is positioned so that it is as close to the other as possible, and does not stick out. After the design is fixed under the drying lamp, the pieces of the film are covered on top with two layers of top, ensuring that the protruding ends of the film are completely covered.

You can decorate a turquoise manicure in different ways, because the choice of decorative elements is wide enough today. Let's note a few of the most popular ideas that will allow you to create not only a beautiful, but also expressive design with belonging to a different season of the year.

Painting is a great way to decorate accent nails. Today it is all kinds of lace on a delicate turquoise background, as well as patterns on a contrasting gel polish. In addition to lace motifs and a variety of curls, the best themes are floral motifs, geometry, ethnic ornaments, feathers, twigs and leaves. In this case, drawings can be made in one color or in several.

This decor is nothing more than a variety of sequins, including holographic sparkling ones. It is better to decorate a turquoise manicure with multi-colored kamifubuki without glitter. However, if they are needed for a specific composition (for example, a motive of the sea coast), varieties with gold or silver will be appropriate. However, in any case, this decor should be dosed, occupying a small part of the accent nail.

All kinds of sliders and decals allow you to reduce the time for drawing small elements and create an outwardly professional manicure design. The subject matter can be as varied as the type of material used. The best choice today remains water stickers, which are perfectly covered with a top layer and do not peel off during the operation of the coating. Decorating with stickers involves adding rhinestones.

Stamping according to its technique is stamping a certain pattern from a template onto a nail plate. Typically, these patterns are made of very thin lines. The template has a lot of small grooves that are filled with gel polish when performing the technique. Then, using a sponge, the print is transferred to the nails, and this stage takes no more than a second.

Rhinestones are more popular decor today than crystals. They are distinguished by a smaller volume, which is important for modern manicure. Harmonious decoration of nail plates with rhinestones is performed in different ways: highlighting the cuticle area with them, accentuating the details of the existing pattern or stickers. In addition, they can mask the joints of two contrasting gel polishes that adorn one nail.

Despite the fact that the attitude to shine in fashion today is different, a variety of sparkles and shimmery coatings can harmoniously emphasize the elegance of a manicure. They are used to accentuate part of the pattern, as well as to highlight the cuticle area. A fully shiny nail plate today is considered a simplification of design, while a partial drawing with the same gold lacquer or silver looks very different.

Today, you can even use a variety of powder products to decorate nails. One of them is a polymer-based substance called acrylic or flock powder. You can buy it in a specialty store, choosing the desired turquoise tone from a wide variety of shades. The powder is applied to a layer of not dried top, then the nails are dried.The surface of such nail plates seems to be voluminous and velvety.

Rubbing today can have a lot of different effects (from "May beetle" to "Aurora"). It is able to pearl any glossy and matte shade of turquoise coating, to give it a unique noble shine. It is used in a certain tone, so you need to approach the choice of this product thoroughly. It is impossible to oversaturate the initially gentle tone with an abundance of multi-colored overflows, moderation is important.

You can give a turquoise manicure one or another emotional color using different decorating techniques. Of course, one of the ways to change his mood is the tone itself, or rather, its temperature. For example, cold undertones already evoke thoughts of winter, while warm colors speak of summer.

If you want to add the desired tones of a particular season to the design differently, you should use all kinds of drawings or even stickers. Floral motifs and bright contrasting shades breathe in summer, be it dandelions, roses, lilies or sakura branches. White lace on a cold turquoise background will seem like a frosty pattern, especially if you decorate it with silver varnish.

Using acrylic powder, you can create the effect of a knitted pattern. For example, if you draw knitted plaits with the top, the type of coverage will be terry, reminiscent of a soft knitted blanket. This idea can be used for winter manicure. You can pick up contrasts inherent in certain seasons. For example, orange is good for autumn, white and blue for winter, sandy and sunny for summer, and early foliage tone for spring.
