Blue-blue manicure: ideas and fashion trends
Blue-blue manicure is one of the most popular options today. This combination is especially relevant in the spring and summer.
Who will it go to?
Nail design in blue tones is equally suitable for both gentle romantic persons and bright girls with a contrasting appearance. Both blondes with blue eyes and brunettes with brown will look organic with a similar color palette. In this case, jewelry should be chosen from silver or white gold, since cold tones are better combined with blue shades. Such a manicure is in perfect harmony with topaz or blue sapphires.
In clothes, it is desirable to have at least one element of blue color so that the manicure is in place. A white dress with blue inserts will look beautiful; in this case, the nail design will be a great addition to the image. Gray bottom and blue top are another good option. You can choose a total black look, and tie a colorful scarf with blue elements on a bag or neck.
In addition to the classic colors, blue goes well with silver details. Shiny inserts will well complement a formal weekend outfit. You can focus on shoes. For example, you can wear white dress pants with a white blouse, topaz jewelry, and blue shoes.
Young girls who do not adhere to a strict dress code can safely combine a similar design with any clothing.
Application rules
Preparatory work should be carried out immediately before applying the varnish. To begin with, the previous color is removed from the nails. Then the fingers should be dipped in a warm soapy bath for ten minutes, wiped dry with a towel. After that, with the help of a nail file, you need to give the nails the desired shape and move the cuticles back with orange sticks.
It is not recommended to cut the cuticle with scissors, as new skin can be rough and rough.
When the process is complete, you can start creating a nail design. At the end, the manicurist is advised to apply a topcoat to the surface of the nail so that the varnish lasts longer.
Beautiful design options
Manicure in blue and blue tones is suitable for any length and shape of nails. There are a huge number of interesting designs with these shades.
Matt
Matte manicure looks more restrained than glossy. To get a similar effect, you need to hold your nails over the hot steam immediately after applying the varnish, or grease them with a matte top, which removes the shine. You can complement such a texture with any design (drawings, stones, etc.).
Ombre
Ombre is a common option chosen by young girls. It looks very nice on long and medium length nails. The transition from dark blue to light blue can be carried out both from top to bottom and vice versa. White can be used as an additional color. In this case, deep blue flows smoothly into blue, and then into white.
To create a similar effect, the nail plate should be lubricated with a transparent base so that the next layer lays smoother. A small piece of sponge should be painted in blue and light blue, overlapping each other. Then the sponge is applied to the finger, as if transferring its pattern to the surface of the nail.
Transition
This is one of the varieties of ombre, in which the transition of colors is carried out not on one finger, but on all five. The thumb turns dark blue, the index finger turns blue, the middle finger turns into a deep blue, the ring finger turns into a heavenly color, and the little finger turns white. This design looks very interesting on both long and short nails. You can also do your nails with a matte texture, which will make it look even better.
Select one finger
In this case, apply blue varnish on four fingers, and paint the ring with blue. This method is the most common as it takes the least amount of time to complete.
Alternation
Nails after one are painted in a blue tint, and the rest - in blue. Such a design is recommended only for very young girls who like to experiment with images.
On adult ladies, it will look completely inappropriate.
moon
Moon manicure has become one of the favorite options for many girls, not only because of its beauty, but also because of its practicality. A small area of the cuticle remains transparent, while a blue tint is applied to the rest of the nail. Thus, even on grown nails, the design will look beautiful. The moon can also be made blue and the rest of the nail blue. The tones will also look great if they are reversed.
An interesting idea would be to make four nails in one combination, and the nameless one in another. Some craftsmen highlight the border between the flowers with a thin silver strip or rhinestones. This is how you get a manicure for a gala event.
