Chocolate manicure: design secret and season ideas

The chocolate color of a manicure is considered noble and sophisticated. This season, it is among the top ten paints in the color palette, providing for execution in different techniques. Read on to learn how to make it not only beautiful, but also modern.

Chocolate tone belongs to the brown range, while the chocolate color coating itself can be different, which is determined by the type of varnish used for manicure. For example, a design can be done with gel polish:

• matte;
• glossy;
• temperature;
• magnetic;
• jelly;
• shimmery;
• craquelure;
• mirrored.

Each type of coating has its own characteristics, which determines its appropriateness in a particular design. The favorites of the season are lacquer products with a matte texture, thanks to which you can make velvety, velvety, velor or even satin manicure. Such coatings are distinguished by nobility and give a high status to the female image. Often they themselves become the highlight of the "bow", and with a moderate emphasis on the design they acquire a luxurious look.

In the center of attention are gel polishes with a metallic effect, which allow you to add brightness to the design of your nails without getting bored with glamor. The varieties of "cat's eye" and "craquelure" have also returned to fashion. Today, these coatings are distinguished by a greater attractiveness of the texture, due to which it is possible not only to refine the manicure, but to demonstrate the full depth and versatility of the chocolate color.

Shimmery, pearlescent coatings allow you to add elegance to the design without the effect of vulgarity.Glossy counterparts are notable for the fact that they can be used for absolutely any design technique, including matte. These coatings can be easily matted using a matte finish.

Today, fashion is favorable to the fair sex. She does not limit women of different age groups and social status, inviting them to choose the best nail shape and texture for themselves. As for the shape of the nail plates, today it can be short, straightened, round or oval. In addition, moderate length almond nails are back in fashion.

False nails are hopelessly outdated; today they are considered a sign of bad taste. In addition, false marigolds often fall away from natural ones at the most inopportune moment. Build-up, on the other hand, is popular and allows you to create any shape on a natural basis. In this case, you can not only lengthen the nails, but also straighten them so that they do not fall down.

As for decorating nails, today fashion clearly indicates that any design belongs to minimalism and lightness. No massive decorations and volumetric stucco molding are needed - the decor of the nails should be airy.

The theme of geometry is traced in the designs of the new season; such designs are considered the most trendy in the new season. And if earlier this was expressed in the form of geometric shapes, today in the design you can see a variety of hollow figures layered one on top of the other, as well as straight lines with dots, prisms, polygons, colored rectangles, which sometimes make up an abstract pattern on accent nails of a manicure.

The priority is several color combinations, through which you can make a manicure elegant, without detracting from its nobility and status. For example, you can combine chocolate color with:

• beige;
• bleached coffee;
• powdery;
• gold;
• white;
• pink;
• Marsala color;
• light gray;
• sandy;
• cream.

This design involves the complete staining of nails with one color of varnish. At the same time, if you use a coating with a matte velvety texture, such a design will look stylish, fashionable and expensive. For a classic manicure, they try to choose coatings with a dense texture that completely cover the nail plate.

French manicure in chocolate tones is often accented with gold, which, with a thin strip of a smile, looks quite beautiful and organic. An inverted jacket today resembles the outline of the nail along the contour, since it often reaches almost the top of the nail plate. The modern jacket tends to be asymmetrical, therefore, in addition to the classic smile, it can be diagonal.

A manicure with holes, made in chocolate tones, looks expressive. If, at the same time, it is performed using the technique of negative space without painting a part of the nail, then it also visually lengthens the nail. This is especially true for short nails. Today it is fashionable to make holes on accent nails, leaving the rest of the nails without unnecessary decor.

The best modern gradient is done with matte finishes in related colors. Several shades of brown can be used, stretching from chocolate to light beige. For the design to be modern and high-profile, you need to make the transition of shades imperceptible and natural. In addition, it is advisable to use a matte gel polish with a velvety surface texture.

The use of acrylic powder allows you to give the surface of accent nails a special effect. Such a coating looks stylish and voluminous, although it is not worth decorating all fingers with it: the accent looks beautiful and expressive when it is not enough.A similar design is created simply: powder is applied to the top layer, after which the nails are dried under a special lamp.

This technique is especially popular today, although with regard to the chocolate color you need to know how to use it. Considering that the film looks differently on a dark and light background, it is better to decorate it not with the main chocolate color, but with accent nails of light contrast. So the design will correspond to fashion trends, but will not shout about its novelty with a sharp shine under the broken glass.

Chocolate is a great tone for the veil technique. You can create the effect of nylon stockings by mixing a few drops of pigmented varnish with a transparent one. Nails are covered with a new product, after which drawings are created on them using chocolate-colored acrylic paint, and then the nails are covered with a layer of top. Today, this design is considered one of the best and most elegant.

Decorating a chocolate manicure is a separate topic that deserves special attention. The fact is that the chocolate color cannot be called light. To visually make it more airy and more attractive, you need to carefully select decorative elements. Today they include:

• all kinds of hand drawings and painting;
• ready-made stamps or stamping;
• confetti kamifubuki;
• stickers, various in the method of fixation and volume;
• stucco and volumetric decor;
• golden dusting and rubbing;
• rhinestones and other sparkling decor.

One of the best techniques for decorating a chocolate manicure is drawing. However, it is only relevant if done professionally. Small laces of contrast on a dark brown background look incredibly delicate and beautiful. This design is considered the best today.

If drawing is an overwhelming task, but you want to add beautiful accents, you should take a closer look at stamping. Today it is in demand more than ever and allows, with a minimum amount of time, to add beauty and a special mood to the design of nails. In addition, due to the thin lines of the pattern, the design acquires lightness and airiness.

Stickers with which you want to decorate a chocolate manicure are more difficult to select. The fact is that today design tends to be seasonal. The theme of the drawings should be related to a specific time of the year. The dark background color complicates the task, because it is difficult to attribute it to winter or summer, as well as to combine it with juicy or, conversely, cold colors of the color palette.

However, there is a way out: the drawings can be made in one color to match the chocolate or its contrast. These can be floral motifs, geometry, silhouettes of animals, faces, cats, birds, plants, leaves, ears and snowflakes. Stickers can be supplemented with single rhinestones.
