Plum manicure - bright and stylish design options

A plum-colored manicure is quite versatile and is able to emphasize both an everyday office and an evening festive look. Such varnish is relevant when creating manicure on nails of any length and is often complemented by various decor options and patterns.

Plum manicure attracts attention thanks to its interesting shade. On nails, it looks less defiant than the classic black varnish and at the same time more neutral, but no less impressive than bright purple varnishes. Most often, the plum design is used to create a universal manicure, but at the same time it is also suitable for completing solemn images in conjunction with various designs made in lighter colors.

The plum palette is wide enough. Most craftsmen use this name for shades that are close to or at the intersection of burgundy and purple tones. Depending on the client's requests, both a lighter shade and a deeper, saturated one can be selected to achieve the necessary accent in the image.

Currently, light shades are used much less often, in contrast to dark ones. They are more relevant in conjunction with another element of the image, for example, a dress of the same shade. Deep plum is able to emphasize the beauty of the shape of the nail plate and add elegance to the manicure. That is why it is actively used in outdoor and office manicure designs.

Currently, nail service masters offer their customers a wide variety of not only plum shades, but also techniques for performing such a design. In this case, both glossy and matt varnish can be used.The trend is to use the latter in conjunction with bright accents, such as rhinestones.

Experienced craftsmen draw the attention of clients to the following points, which will help you achieve the most effective manicure.

• Light plum shades are perfect for long nails. Darker tones on long nails can look pretty vulgar in everyday life.

• Dark plum shades work best with short nails. Thus, additional attention will be paid to them. However, they will look no less impressive on long nails, but only in the evening version. At the same time, it is extremely important that the nails look well-groomed, since oblique cuts and untreated cuticles, as well as varnish chips, can spoil the impression of even the most high-quality and stylish manicure.

• When creating a complex design, it is worth noting that the plum shade is not combined with all the beautiful tones of the color palette. It combines best with milky white, gold, pink, yellow, as well as blue and black shades. But be careful when using green, red, dark gray and deep blue colors.

These simple tips will help you make your nail design as interesting as possible in a plum palette.

Now on the market of the nail industry there is a huge number of various additional tools that will help create an interesting manicure design. The following design options will be especially popular in combination with plum color.

• Sequins. It can be large decorative sequins, liquid glitter or additional transparent varnish with shiny splashes. All this will help to effectively complement the manicure and make it even more solemn. Particularly popular is a combination with sparkles of a different color, which will go well with the main one, for example, gold, black, white, etc. Sequins can be used to decorate the holes or only the tips of the nail plate - it looks quite interesting and at the same time very elegant.

• Ombre. This technique is back in vogue again. A combination of a light plum shade in combination with black will look especially stylish.

Also popular is the smooth transition of plum color to beige, milky, yellow, pink and light blue shades.

• Nail art. The painting, made on plum-colored varnish, looks very impressive. Nail service specialists prefer gold or silver painting. The trend is the use of ethnic motives and floral patterns. They can be made in both lighter and darker shades and complemented by other accents.

• Rhinestones. Most often, rhinestones are used to accentuate the top or bottom edge of the nail plate. However, the nail completely on two or three fingers of each hand can be decorated with rhinestones. It looks very impressive and solemn.

• Drawings. To create a spectacular manicure, sometimes it is enough to choose a suitable pattern. Everyday manicure should be decorated with light, uncomplicated patterns - geometric, flowing strokes or uncomplicated images. More complex compositions should emphasize solemn images. Three-dimensional drawings of flowers, favorite characters, complex installations in the form of fire or other interesting ideas can act as options.
