Lavender manicure: fashion ideas and color features

We are all already accustomed to various shades of pink, which dominates design along with classic colors - black, gray, white. However, in recent seasons, a trend towards purple hues has become apparent. The pink ones still hold on due to either their pastel tenderness or due to their cyclamen showiness. But if the brightness of purple is much more difficult to achieve, then a gentle, romantic manicure can be done without pink. It is enough just to turn to the lavender shade.

In the past, purple has been steadily associated with monarchs, nobility, power. At the same time, its light shades, rather, evoke a feeling of tenderness and vulnerability, but at the same time, firmness of character. Still, violet, even with a large amount of white, remains itself - mystical and imperious.

If we consider lavender in the context of the color system, then it turns out that he is one of those successful and rare cases when the shade suits almost everyone. Even “warm autumn” perceives lavender well, especially if it is slightly darkened and a rich dark shade is matched (for example, purple, dark gray-blue or marsh).

Lavender is a great solution for a romantic style, date, walk, everyday manicure. Such a light shade will perfectly fit into the office style, especially if you wear a matching blouse and use a matting varnish coating. But for a festive manicure, lavender will come in handy - here you can already turn around in choosing a design using it.

The lavender shade owes its name to such a plant as lavender. Her flowers, collected in tall narrow bunches, are distinguished by colors in delicate lilac tones and a pleasant aroma. This scent once inspired perfumers, and now a significant part of the perfumes of various companies contain lavender. And thanks to the lavender perfume bottles, which have been aged in the appropriate color, the shade has spread both within the perfumery industry and beyond.

Spring is still far away, but floral ornament in manicure is always relevant. And the first thing that comes to mind in this case is lavender flowers. They are also easy to draw by hand. You can also depict a whole brush or a bouquet in a sketchy version. White varnish will help to depict the light centers of the flowers, and green varnish - the leaves of the plant.

In order not to paint on nails, but to do a manicure quickly and accurately, you can purchase special stickers or tips in advance. Due to the popularity of floral prints, you will have no problem finding lavender stickers.

If lavender does not appeal to you aesthetically, you can use images of other flowers. Violets, bells, cherry blossoms or a tireless classic - roses, all this can be reproduced on nails without much difficulty.

One of the most popular manicure techniques this year is ombre. Use lavender, white, and soft pink polish, and a small sponge or cosmetic sponge. Apply the varnishes on the sponge in tightly adjacent strips so that the resulting pattern matches the size of the nail plate. It is best to even take a size with a margin - so that when applied, there are no gaps left on the nails. The varnish is applied very simply - you need to attach the sponge to the nails.

Any excess nail polish that gets on the skin during manicure can be removed with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover.

There are no restrictions on the choice of design - the main thing is to correctly combine colors and textures. The patterns look interesting with dark purple varnish on a lavender background. These can be baroque curls and seashells, geometric lines and shapes, and the like.

The drawn cage a la fabric for a shirt looks interesting and stylish. To do this, you will need not only lavender varnish, but also purple and white. With this combination, you can also make simple stripes, horizontal or vertical, or a multicolored polka dot pattern. It represents well-known to all even rows of small circles on a solid background. They can be made in one color or several alternated.

You can also use foil - in the form of plates, geometric shapes or stripes. Purple foil on a lavender background will look especially impressive. Both shades will show themselves in full force, harmonizing well with each other.

Another trend of the year is the lavender bear. These are not the famous Me to You, but very similar in design plush toys that are sold by TianDe. Their peculiarity is that they are filled with real lavender, which gives off a pleasant aroma. These bears have become so popular that they have already moved into design in other areas, including cosmetic. But Me to You has also been popular among romantic girls for many years, so these gray bears on a lavender background are also a good option.

They can not only be drawn, but also sculpted on the nail plate. For this, there are special polymer materials - gel or hard acrylic. They are very durable after hardening, so there is no need to fear for their durability.At the same time, the variety of colors and the ability to paint the work with any acrylic paints allows you to do whatever comes to mind.

Whichever type of manicure you choose, you should always remember that some colors go well with each other, and some don't. The wrong selection of the palette is fraught with the fact that one color will "eat" another, or they will look too bright and vulgar.

Lavender is best combined with white and other pastel shades - yellow, pink, blue, green. Among the matching colors:

• purple;
• dark green, marsh, olive;
• salmon;
• cherry;
• dark blue with gray undertone;
• color wet asphalt.

But with gray, you should be careful. If you leave the duo of lavender and gray undiluted, you get a visually monotonous gray mass - and this is not the most pleasant phenomenon for the human eye. It is best to dilute them with some bright colors. For example, green. This also includes gray-purple and mint - the combination with them must also be diluted.

In this case, you should not rely on white - it, too, is likely to be eaten by neighboring flowers. To dilute, you definitely need something bright, unless, of course, you initially plan to do a discreet manicure. Otherwise, on the contrary, you can use these colors.

The lavender pattern on a black background will also look interesting - it will look very impressive and elegant. Especially with glossy black and matte lavender.
