Raspberry manicure: features and design options

Raspberry color manicure is chosen for bright and spectacular bows. This tone of nails attracts the attention of others, it is considered gentle and feminine. However, the color itself cannot be called universal, so those who want to design nails in this style should study its features and correlate them with modern design options.

Manicure in raspberry tones is picky about the choice of clothes, since its main shade is quite selective in terms of color contrasts. The tone is considered rich and juicy, such a manicure cannot be classified as everyday, it is not suitable for the images of a business woman and office workers.

Due to the variety of varnishes produced, raspberry varieties can be very diverse today. Moreover, the best products for modern and durable manicure are gel varnishes (hybrid coatings that combine the properties of gel and varnish). For example, a manicure in raspberry tones can be done with varnish:

• matte;
• glossy;
• shimmery;
• magnetic;
• jelly;
• temperature;
• chameleon;
• mirrored;
• craquelure;
• neon;
• glowing in the dark.

Each type of coverage has its own characteristics. For example, chameleon varieties are notable for being able to adapt to different lighting conditions by changing the temperature of the original tone. Temperature options, on the other hand, become lighter in warmth and darken in cold weather. Therefore, the nail can be light at the base and dark at the edge.

Craquelure gel varnishes of raspberry color and coatings with a "cat's eye" effect are more voluminous and interesting, they allow you to carry out extraordinary design solutions in raspberry tones.Neon and glowing varnishes are often chosen by teenagers for whom it is important to declare themselves, to draw attention to their bow. Mother-of-pearl or shimmery counterparts are used today mainly as an addition to the main design.

Matte and glossy finishes are the most demanded of the entire line. On their basis, all known manicure techniques are performed, often decorating the varnish with all kinds of decorative techniques. Unique is the fact that a glossy finish, if necessary, can be made matt by covering it at the very end of the manicure with a top with a matting effect.

Raspberry manicure, unlike other tones, can be done on nails of any length. The new season allows women to choose the best nail shape for themselves. It can be a short version with a slightly rounded edge, short straight marigolds, an elongated oval or even almond shape. It is worth noting that fashion today has turned to naturalness, so length may become the only limitation in choosing the shape of nails.

There are not so many contrasts with which the crimson color looks harmonious. However, there are ideal ones that will always be combined with raspberry beautifully and appropriately. These are black, white, gray and silver colors. For the rest, you need to focus on the raspberry itself:

• if it is closer to pink, you can pick up related or powdery tones to it;
• when it gravitates towards red, you should be careful with the addition of red; you need to dilute the design with a light contrast, softening the perception of the manicure.

Warmer crimson tones can be complemented not with silver, but with gold. In addition to neutral tones, you can complement the raspberry manicure with emerald and marsh color. Depending on the temperature, raspberry can be combined with peach or beige.

Crimson manicure can be done taking one of the design methods as a basis:

• classical;
• French;
• reverse jacket;
• lunar;
• gradient;
• broken glass;
• powdery;
• veil;
• with rubbing;
• newspaper.

Each method of performing manicure has its own characteristics. For example, the classic implies a monochromatic staining of the nail plate over its entire area. Matte, magnetic, mirror and glossy varnishes are best suited for this design. This technique is good for further decoration and accents.

French is performed in two ways: with a crimson base and a contrasting smile, or a crimson smile on a contrasting base. In both cases, French manicure looks incredibly feminine and stylish. However, due to the fact that the color of raspberries is considered bright, the jacket is usually not done on all fingers. An inverted jacket differs from the traditional one in that his smile is located at the base of the nail plate.

The lunar design is characterized by the presence of semicircular holes at the base of the nail. Today it is customary not to paint them, which is especially important for short nails, as it creates a visual effect of increasing their length. The gradient attracts with its versatility and unusual effect due to the smooth and almost imperceptible stretching of tones from light to dark and vice versa. Today it is fashionable to do such a design using matte types of raspberry coatings.

The broken glass technique allows you to create a bright and effective manicure. It is more often used for accentuated hand nails, since the abundance of shine created through the use of a special film is unacceptable in a bright design. The powdery effect is achieved through the use of a special acrylic powder, which is sprinkled on the nail plate and dried under a special lamp.If desired, powder is used to create embossed or knitted patterns.

The veil coating allows you to give a raspberry manicure a special noble status. More often it is performed not from the tone of the base, but from black contrast, using a top and pigmented gel polish to create a translucent nylon base. If the crimson is dark and densely pigmented enough, you can make a veil design out of it by painting on your nails with acrylic paint and then covering the designs with a translucent dyed top.

Rubbing in is notable for the fact that it can change the color of a monochromatic coating beyond recognition. For example, one of its best effects is the beetle effect, due to which a raspberry manicure can take on a special shade. As for newspaper manicure, which is also popular today, it is performed on contrasting light nails using pieces of ordinary newspaper. The prints are covered with a top coat and dried under a special lamp.

You can decorate a raspberry manicure in different ways. One of them is painting on accent nails. The popular patterns of the season are various laces and nets, feathers, ears, curls and monograms. In addition, today it is popular to decorate nails with drawings of juicy fruits and berries. No less interesting are designs with flowers, twigs, plants, leaves, as well as various geometric patterns.

Those who do not know how to accurately draw small elements of prints use stamping to decorate accent nails with raspberry manicure. Today, the pattern stamping method is a worthy alternative to hand painting. At the same time, stamping allows you to create a clear pattern with even and thin lines in a matter of seconds.

Stickers that change the mood of a raspberry manicure do not go out of fashion either. They are convenient in that, by covering the nail plate and strengthening it with a thin layer, they allow demonstrating the seasonality of the design. The theme of such a decor can repeat a variety of hand prints or be more accurate in conveying belonging to a particular style of clothing. Mostly floral ornaments are used as stickers, but they can also be retro-style pictures, Asian dream catchers, ethnic ornaments, and much more.

To avoid this effect, you need to limit the amount of sparkling gloss. For example, rhinestones, in order not to harm the aesthetics of manicure, should be single or performed only on accent nails. You can decorate them with a smile zone or even stickers (in the middle of the flower, the glare of a cat's eye).

Decorating a raspberry manicure with glitter and glitter coatings should also be dosed. The color is beautiful and bright enough, the abundant addition of gloss can destroy the beauty of the design. If you really want to emphasize your nails with a shiny decor, it can be a smile outline or a volumetric drawing on powder. In addition, a manicure with accent nails decorated with rubbing will look more harmonious than a shine on a raspberry background.
