Beautiful ideas for creating a red and blue manicure
Many girls prefer bright shades of varnish, but refuse them, because they believe that they are not in fashion now. This is far from the case, catchy nails are in trend. One of the most interesting ideas is the red and blue manicure, which has already become a kind of classic.
Peculiarities
If the choice in favor of red and blue nail design occurred in connection with a solemn occasion, then you can not be afraid to overdo it. After all, this combination is very attractive and does not seem vulgar. Employees of establishments with a strict dress code or for a business meeting are better off choosing darker colors that are not striking, but remain no less attractive.
Red and blue varnish goes well with blue, black, red and white clothes. You can imagine the following classic look, with which such a manicure will look great: black or blue trousers, a white shirt, a red scarf, shoes or a bag. Yellow outfits also look good in combination with such varnish.
You should not wear colorful clothes and decorate a manicure in blue and red tones. This combination will not overlap well, which will cause some dissonance in appearance.
Design options
This simple yet very beautiful color combination can have a huge variety of designs. For lovers of simple design and classics, you can imagine the most common types of manicure.
- One nail, usually without a name, is covered with blue varnish, and the rest with red. Or vice versa. It looks very interesting, but at the same time restrained.
- Geometric patterns. Stripes, a cage, peas and other elements of a similar plan are often used for red and blue manicure.
- Gradient. The blue color is washed out and smoothly turns into red, which looks incredibly beautiful on any nails.But the longer they are, the softer the border looks, where one color changes to another.
- Divorces. Nowadays, water patterns on nails in the form of streaks are in vogue. They are performed with the help of special techniques in the salon and even at home. Red and blue tones in this version look bright and peculiar.
- Lunar manicure. Wells along the growth line of the nail can be highlighted in blue with a general red, and vice versa. Or decorate alternating red and blue nails with gold holes.
Simple design will never go out of style, it is easy to execute, it looks catchy and not vulgar. However, there are also more original designs.
- Variants of the American and British flags. In both apparel and nail design, the trend is the use of UK and US flag prints. But to embody such an idea, you also need a white tone. This manicure is a combination of white stars, blue and red stripes. Sometimes a copy of one of the flags is depicted on one nail, for example, a nameless or index. The rest of the nails are painted either blue or red.
This manicure looks very original, but it suits younger women.
- Manicure with rhinestones and sequins. When decorating a red and blue manicure with rhinestones, it is important not to use a large number of such elements, since the combination of colors is already quite catchy. In order not to overdo it, use the application of rhinestones on one or two nails. You can use both colored decorations and white or translucent ones. Rhinestones are laid out along the growth line of the nail if they are small in size or placed singly in the center of the nail plate. Sometimes a pattern or a curved smooth line is laid out from rhinestones of different sizes. Glitter is also used for festive manicure. There is a transparent coating with silver or gold glitter. They can be used to cover red and blue nails on top. The more layers of such varnish, the more often shiny inclusions will be found.
To get a pleasant shine and at the same time not to lose the original tone of the manicure, it is optimal to cover the nails with two or three layers of such varnish.
- Floral motives. Floral patterns never go out of style. Using red or blue as a base, you can add a little green, white and yellow and depict a floral ornament with your favorite representatives of the flora.
- Painting in the style of "Gzhel"... All nails are usually not decorated with this motif, but are limited to one or two. In contrast to the blue and white pattern, a scarlet hue will play great. Such a manicure looks festive and original, especially in combination with a white outfit. For lovers of Russian motifs, nails painted under Gzhel will be a great opportunity to delight their eyes every day.
- Painting in black. Regardless of the sequence in which the nails are painted, they can be covered on top with an original pattern using black varnish for painting.
The following options can be used as an ornament:
- lace patterns;
- cobweb;
- hieroglyphs;
- various short words;
- dividing lines between two colors;
- images of anchors in a nautical style;
- honeycomb;
- vertical, horizontal, diagonal stripes;
- tiger or leopard pattern;
- circles, squares and other geometric shapes;
- stars.
Black color can be combined with any others, therefore such painting will only emphasize the beauty of the main shades - red and blue.
- Drip manicure. In nail art, not very long ago there appeared ways to depict on the nail plate like frozen dew drops. This manicure looks very interesting and fresh, which makes it truly spring. Such a coating, of course, is original, but it requires a very careful attitude due to the presence of convex elements. It is less durable than non-bump varnish.
- Glowing varnish. An ultra-modern coating option is the lacquers with a glow in the dark effect.This is a great way to stand out from the crowd at a club or disco party. During a trip to the sea, you can also coolly refresh the image with such a spectacular coating. The red and blue colors are bright in themselves, and with the help of the neon effect, they will further emphasize the individuality of the owner of such a manicure.
