Red Manicure Ideas for Short Nails

Well-groomed hands and nails are the dream of every modern woman. I want them to look beautiful, and at the same time, the manicure does not interfere with everyday life. Thanks to fashion's striving for naturalness, this has become possible: short nails are at the center of fashion trends. Consider the features of a manicure with such a length and red gel polish, since red is considered one of the favorites of the new season's nail fashion.

The red color of the coating is considered the brightest paint of the palette. It is noticeable and attracts attention, but it highlights even the smallest imperfections of the nail plates and their natural shape. It is not scary if the side walls of the nail bed are parallel, but it looks rather ugly when they diverge or are completely arched.

If the walls are parallel, you can paint the entire nail plate with red varnish without restricting the sides. If the nail looks like a triangle with an acute angle at the place of the hole, or it is barrel-shaped, you will not have to paint the sides, visually creating the illusion of parallelism. This does not mean that it is necessary to equalize the sides to the ideal. But you will have to straighten them a little with varnish so that the form looks more aesthetic, otherwise the red varnish will give out the unevenness of the natural form.

As for the top edge, ideally, its shape should be a mirror image of the well. So the bright red color will look more beautiful on the nails and can relieve the nails of the severity of perception.You can choose for short nail plates three forms that are relevant today. It is almond, soft square and oval. Red varnish will look beautiful on any shape. But only if it matches the approximate shape of the hole.

Despite the fact that fashion today does not dictate rigid frameworks regarding color solutions, red is quite capricious and does not tolerate rivalry. In addition, he is used to setting the status himself, and therefore is not combined with every pigment. For example, the design looks ugly when they try to add yellow to red. However, with the same gold or silver, red looks very different. It is expensive, stylish and effective. Red gel polish looks original with duets of gray and white, nude and black, tan and white, coral and white. Does not match red with blue, looks rough with green.

A new trend that allows you to bring freshness and lightness to the design of red manicure is the combination of red gel polish with nude and beige. Such mixes do not look as sharp as red and white contrast. Softness is felt in this design, it is nude that allows you to take a fresh look at the bright red color and use it in different styles.

As for the black and red duo, it is important to choose the right colors and texture of the varnishes used. A simple red tone is undesirable here: it is better to replace it with a wine one, choosing a satin or velor texture type. At the same time, so that the black contrast does not look rough, you can turn to the veil technique with its characteristic translucency of varnish. A wine shade of red in the form of, for example, a red geometric shape on a translucent black background will look gorgeous. In addition, it will be possible to complement the design with thin gold stripes or contour rings.

Today, fashionable manicure is one that fits into the main directions of nail design. Now it is considered important to accentuate not the decor, but the texture of the gel polish used. The priority is the play of matte surface and gloss.

It is important to adhere to the principle: the simpler, the more status. An expensive texture, say, for textiles, will allow a red manicure to add more chic to a women's set, without limiting the choice of jewelry and accessories. Of course, the design can be complex, but not clumsy.

Given the short length of the nails, it is necessary to select the design in such a way that it creates the effect of lengthening. This can be done using geometric shapes and vertical lines. So that at the same time the design does not lose its status, it is necessary to limit the number of accent nails or simplify the decor to a minimum. Today, even men know: the simpler a woman is, the more difficult her manicure is, and therefore the image of a magpie does not arouse their interest.

Stained glass coverings of red shades are fashionable. They can create the effect of depth, applying in a thin, almost weightless layer over any decor. In addition, liquid stones and light inlay are in vogue. As for the latter, it is important to understand the relatively red color of the base: without dosage, a manicure is doomed to a fashionable failure.

Fashion constantly pampers us with new decorative materials, through which you can decorate your manicure. Some of them stay for a long time, others are suitable only for elegant decorations. As for the red color of the manicure, here you can note several ways of decorating, through which you can add a zest to a bright manicure without contradicting its elegance and status. It is important not to forget that he should not dominate the general background.

• You can use rubbing with different effects for accents of red color design. For example, you can use it to create a gold background for a volumetric design with acrylic powder. By this principle, you can create floral patterns, voluminous monograms, which are now in trend.

• For those who love stones, you can take a closer look at cat-eye coatings. Today, they can be used to create the effect of real stones with their characteristic volume.
• Fans of designs with rhinestones and various shiny stones should accentuate the cuticle area with them. However, given the short length of the nails, it is important to use the minimum decor size.

Choosing a monochromatic design as the main technique, it is worth focusing on the shade of red and the texture of the varnish. On accent nails, you can paint monograms, curls, lace with gloss on a matte base. If you don't like this option, you can paint all your nails with gloss, accent nails with matte gel polish and create a black substrate on them. Then it can be silver or gilded, creating a spectacular and expressive manicure.

Red and white designs can be created in a variety of ways. You can choose hand-painted accent nails as the basis for the design. Light plant motifs or feathers or even geometry will be very useful for a spectacular and stylish manicure. It is important that, in addition to the picture, about half of the background area is visible. This will add lightness to the design and not overload the design.

It is unrealistic to use the technique of negative space. For example, a hole or a thin bow that echoes the hole can become an unpainted part. If you want to use this technique, you can leave the entire area of ​​accent nails under it and make a simple design over the transparent varnish.

It is fashionable to use the method of seasonality of manicure. With regard to design in red tones, these can be:
