Pink and turquoise manicure: ideas and design options

The combination of pastel shades in manicure design is considered one of the trends in nail art today. Among other contrasts, the stylists' attention was paid to the duo of turquoise and pink.

Turquoise and pink tones have different emotional colors - this allows you to enrich the bow with new and fresh colors. However, in order to make the duet of turquoise and pink harmonious, one of the tones must be inferior to the other. More often, the role of the dominant in such a contrast is assigned to turquoise. It is richer and brighter. But the pink tint often softens the perception of turquoise, due to which the manicure fits well into the various images of modern women.

At the same time, in order for the manicure not to lose its sophistication, it is necessary to dose turquoise. In general, the combination of two beautiful shades of the color palette can be used for women of different age groups and adherence to the style of clothing. However, to harmoniously complement the bow, the colors of the manicure should be related to specific wardrobe items or available accessories.

If you have experience and imagination, you can make a manicure in a pink-turquoise color using all known techniques for its implementation. For example, it could be:

• a classic with its inherent coloring of the nail plates in one color and emphasizing an accent in a contrasting tone;
• a jacket, in which you can beat the base and "smile" with different colors;

• reverse jacket, where the contrasting outline of the cuticle area will look beautiful;
• moon manicure, where you can accentuate holes and accents with different colors;

• a gradient for which you can add another tone of turquoise and rose, performing a chic stretch not only from bottom to top, but also between the side rollers;
• veil using a darker companion to create a nylon stocking effect;

• broken glass, in which you can accentuate the nail with a manicure film;
• powder that will allow you to combine two colors of powder on one accent nail, if this is intended by the design.

In order for the manicure in the contrast of the described duet to be not only beautiful, but also high-status, the choice of varnish should be approached especially thoroughly. It is important to purchase gel or varnish products with dense pigmentation.

Duets will be successful combinations of coatings:

• matte with matte (in different colors);
• matte and glossy;
• glossy and shimmery (glitter, pearlescent);
• jelly and matte;
• glossy and mirror-like;
• chameleon and gloss;
• temperature and glossy.

For the base, matte and glossy finishes are ideal. At the same time, it is easier to work with glossy options - they do not strip, and also spread more evenly over the nail plate. If in the future you want to matte them, then for this it is enough to purchase a top with a matte effect.

According to fashionable whims, various methods of decorating hand nails are welcome today. At the same time, the trend is:

• nails of medium to moderate length with a smooth edge;
• the shape of the nails is oval, straight, "ballerina" and "almond";
• accentuation of the cuticle area, including asymmetric;
• the use of seasonality in the design, the expression of a specific season;
• minimalism of decor and a focus on lightness of design;
• decoration in a manicure of no more than four nails out of ten;
• build-up and refinement of the form, complete rejection of false nails.

Both pink and turquoise refer to shades that accentuate the feminine principle, so there can be no asymmetry of the edge cut, and even more so nail piercing. If you want to be creative, it is better to bet on the unusual texture than to frighten the nails with an irregular shape and make punctures in them, hanging the clinging decor.

The trash of the new nail season is the decoration of the nails of the ring fingers. The expressiveness of the manicure is achieved by reducing the number of accent nails on which the design is performed. For example, a manicure looks ugly, all the nails of which are made with a pattern or in contrast. Even a jacket in a pink-turquoise version will seem uninteresting if all the nails are covered with a variegated pattern.

Here the rule applies: the less the better. The accent is then expressive when it is unique and stands out from the general background. There can be two accent nails on the hand, and one should be smaller than the other - this is done with a smaller pattern or fixed decor.

Knowing that the tones themselves are quite gentle, you will have to design your nails with femininity in mind. In this case, it is desirable that, in addition to the picture, the background is visible. This creates the illusion of lightness, which will allow the manicure to harmoniously complement the female image. The best options for decorating accent nails today are kamifubuki, stamping, stickers, stencils, and hand-painted and rhinestones.

As for the drawings, it is worth noting: they will look beautiful only with a professional drawing. To do this, you need to constantly train, draw lines on special training blanks. If you don't have drawing skills, but you want to decorate your manicure with a professional print, it is better to use stickers - today they can even imitate watercolor. By sticking them on an accent nail, you can pick up several rhinestones for your design.

As for decorating a pink-turquoise manicure with rhinestones or stones, this rule must be followed. Crystals chaotically scattered over the entire area will not look beautiful. Today, this trend is hopelessly outdated, as is the laying out of voluminous compositions on half of the nail from sparkling decor. Rhinestones look more harmonious when they are combined with broths or dots set with gold or silver helium glitter.

Stucco patterns, as well as several layers of one print on another, simplify the look of accents. Floral motifs, geometric patterns, plants, leaves look beautiful in this combination. It is fashionable to use the theme of the sea coast or the beach for a turquoise-pink combination. Some of the best designs on the nails of such a manicure are butterflies, dragonflies, shells, and mehendi. Lace, ethnic ornaments, as well as monograms and logomania can be called fashionable prints.

Logos on a light pastel background look especially expressive, filling the design with high status. Connoisseurs of cute designs will love the marshmallow theme, which can be embodied with the help of drawings of ice cream, sweets, cute cats. Those who prefer a decor style can decorate their nails with a brighter color varnish, while not only turquoise, but also pink pigment can dominate. Manicure foil or even rubbing looks great on such a basis. The effect of the powder can be very different: from mother of pearl and beetle to holography and mirror.
