Ideas for a stylish coral manicure

Coral color is one of the most relevant shades of the color palette when creating a modern manicure. Balancing brightness and tenderness, it can be the perfect finish to a women's bow. However, not every design allows you to declare your individuality without annoying with unusualness. It is important to show the nobility of the shade, emphasizing the beauty and uniqueness of the design.

Coral is a multifaceted color. His palette includes light and rich colors. The original color combines muted red, juicy orange and delicate pink. Such an abundance of colors makes coral multifaceted. The best shades of this color are:

• light peach;
• salmon;
• peach orange;
• shade of watermelon pulp;
• soft coral bleached;
• bright coral with orange undertone;
• pinkish red, diluted with white;
• coral red;
• light coral;
• pinkish orange;
• rust tone.

The uniqueness of the coral color is the fact that regardless of its cold or warm undertone, it is a chameleon color. A color can acquire different emotional coloring under different lighting conditions and different colors that surround it. The coral shade of manicure is also good because it is suitable for women of different age categories.

There are many varieties of coral-colored coatings on the lacquer products market, which allows every fashionista to choose the most desirable option. To date, the following types of coatings are known for creating manicure in coral tones:

• matte;
• glossy;
• temperature;
• shimmery;
• with a translucent texture;
• with glitter and sparkles;
• with the effect of "cat's eye";
• rubbing.

More often, glossy coatings are used for manicure, as well as rubbing. Regarding the first, it is worth noting that if it is necessary to create a matte texture of the coating, a top with a matte effect is simply applied to it. Rubs are notable for the fact that they can create unique effects when decorating nail plates.

Today, fashion trends offer girls several types of nail plate shapes. For example, if quite recently the focus was on the natural length of nails, today there is a tendency to lengthen it. Nails can be round and straight. The so-called almond-shaped nail plates are also in demand. However, if earlier they strove for the "butterfly" shape, then today fashion does not yet seek to return to sharp and long nails resembling the claws of a witch.

The ideal nail shape for every woman is different. The design looks beautiful on an elongated natural shape with a slightly rounded top edge. Straight nails are good if they are long enough. If they are short, it looks ugly. The almond shape is remarkable in that it opens up a lot of possibilities for decorating the nail plates, although caring for such nails is often problematic.

Coral is a moody color. He is very selective about contrasting finishes. Today stylists suggest paying attention to several of the most successful color combinations. These include a combination of coral with:

• white and silver;
• white and black;
• gold;
• rich blue;
• cornflower blue and yellow;
• turquoise;
• milk or cream;
• beige and gray;
• light green and black;
• related coral tones.

The combination of related shades of coral makes the manicure more interesting and unusual. As a rule, such a solution allows you to create harmonious designs, which often do not need flashy decor. For example, it can be a design gradient with a change in shades.

Today, fashion trends offer modern women of fashion several original solutions. In fact, this is a new look at the already known manicure options.

The classic manicure is the basis of many designs today. In this case, the pigment is applied to the entire surface of the nail plate. Even in itself, the classic design with a matte top looks stylish and impressive. The matte texture gives the coral shade of the coating nobility and aristocracy.

French manicure today is tired of classic solutions and strives for asymmetry. The smiles generated by this design are today more like diagonal lines or even geometric shapes. However, adherents of the classic version still decorate their nails with thin smiles of tones contrasting with the coral color used to decorate the nail plates.

In fact, today it has hardly changed. The only thing that has become relevant is the clear selection of the cuticle area with a thin line. Sometimes it looks more like the outline of the nail plate, in other designs it is located asymmetrically or is completely made of sparkling decor or sparkles. Often, an inverted jacket is painted in gold and silver.

Such a design today is based on the reception of negative space.In fact, with this technique, part of the nail remains unpainted. In this case, the hole itself or the arc above it can be unpainted. Despite its apparent simplicity, such a design looks stylish and unusual.

This design is nothing more than an ombre design. They create it using several shades of gel polish, choosing the tones at their discretion. Coral can be called a royal color, so the choice of the necessary contrasts should correspond to its status. Ombre can also be the basis for decoration. It is customary to decorate such a coating with small crystals or rhinestones.

This technique mimics the effect of nylon tights. To make it, a pigment is added to the transparent gel polish. The mixed varnish is applied to the prepared and coated nail plate, after which it is dried under a special lamp and decorated with a pattern for which a special acrylic paint is used to match the main pigment. This design looks unusual and gentle.

This technique is distinguished by the fact that it allows you to create a relief without much difficulty. The substance used to create it is a special polymer powder. It is applied over the pattern and then dried under a UV lamp.

Microscopic beads can be called an alternative to acrylic powder. Like flock powder, they must be applied to an undried topcoat. At the same time, they can also cover the entire plate as a whole, or some part of it. This execution technique is well suited to monochromatic designs, such nails look textured and interesting.

Often, it seems to modern women of fashion that a monochromatic manicure in coral tones is not enough, they want to decorate the surface with a pattern or other decor. However, not everything that is in the manicure arsenal should be used in this case, so that the design does not look vulgar.

Sparkling decor in this case should be dosed as much as possible. Try not to use colored rhinestones or stones that shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow. The rivalry between color and gloss can disrupt the design idea, causing bad taste instead of luxurious nail art. If rhinestones are so necessary, each of them should be in place, decorating an accent nail. This is the case when "less" means "better."

Painting on nails today tends to several directions. These are individual flowers, floral and plant motifs, ethnic ornaments, sketch technique in the form of simple sketches, as well as abstraction and geometry. Everyone is free to choose what he likes best, but within reason: it is important to take into account the seasonality of the manicure and the dosage of the pattern. A beautiful coral manicure, as a rule, is not hung with drawings on all nails. This is not only superfluous, but simplifies any design.

These decoration techniques are popular with those who are not good at microscopic drawing with pigmented gel varnishes. And indeed: both stamping and stickers allow in a matter of seconds to create drawings on accent nails that are no worse than those drawn by experienced masters of nail salons. However, with regard to coral, it is worth considering: you cannot overload nails with such a base with complex patterns.

These decoration techniques are selected especially carefully, because the abundance of gloss and unusual tones of texture can instantly turn a royal manicure into something arrogant and inappropriate for a women's bow. One of the original uses for foil would be a partial or wrinkled pattern with gold.This texture is in harmony with the coral color, especially if there is not much of it.

Despite the fact that a manicure in coral tones can be monochromatic and universal for different occasions, today it is customary to perform a manicure taking into account a specific time of year. For example, this can be reflected through a pattern on accent nails, choosing a theme that is close to each season. For example, floral sketches and plants, all kinds of curls and lace motifs are relevant for a summer manicure. Someone prefers to draw the wings of butterflies, making a single drawing from two nails.

The geometry can be called universal: it is suitable for all seasons. However, here you can play with tones, choosing, for example, for autumn, a combination with orange and brown tones. You can dilute winter manicure with white gel polish and silver. From these contrasts, you can create a pattern in the form of vertical or transverse stripes.

Of course, not every coral tone can be combined with cold winter paints. And decorating the surface of warm coral with snowflakes is also not worth it. However, you can decorate your nails with acrylic powder, depicting a knitted texture. Such a design will definitely not look summer-like.

Finally, pay attention to modern ideas for manicure design in coral tones. They demonstrate how best to style your nails to look stylish and tasteful.
