Nude manicure: design secrets and fashion ideas
Nude manicure is an excellent solution for everyday female looks. Distinguished by the nobility of natural bodily shades, it harmoniously completes any bow and gives a woman a special noble status. However, each new season brings something new to it, so it is important to get acquainted with the nuances of fashion trends in order to look modern and flawless.
Shape selection
In the new season, the fashion has prepared several surprises. Today, every woman is encouraged to choose the shape that suits her best. Short nails are not forbidden, however, if the length of the nail plates is insufficient, they can be extended with acrylate. False nails are a thing of the past, today they are considered a sign of bad taste. In addition to the fact that they do not always look beautiful on nails, such products often fall off at the most inopportune moment.
In addition to the current straight and oval shapes, almond-shaped nails are back in fashion. However, whatever shape the woman chooses to cut, the length should not be more than average. Too long, and even sharp edges are hopeless today. If earlier they were considered an effective addition to the bow, today fashion does not seek to return to this shape of nails.
Moreover, the sharp edges and long length run counter to the tenderness that the bodily shades of lacquer products breathe.
Design nuances
Flesh tones are versatile as opposed to many tones in the color palette. They can be used in any existing manicure technique.However, light colors are characterized by the ability to expand the nail plate, so for flat and short nails it is preferable to choose darker shades (for example, tan tone). In addition, it is important to consider that not every decor on such a basis will look appropriate, since bodily initially implies tenderness and sophistication.
Overloading a manicure can not only ruin its aesthetics, but also bring vulgarity into a woman's image. The main fashion line of the new season is minimalism and an emphasis on naturalness. This means that hanging a flesh manicure with a scattering of rhinestones or sparkling stones is undesirable. If you want to use this decor, you need to do it in dosage.
It is ideal to choose matte varnishes for covering short nails that imitate the surface of textiles (velveteen, velor, velvet or satin). For long nails, on the contrary, it is better to use a shimmer or even a rub. This powder will give the skin tone depth and sparkle with different colors.
Rubbing has a lot of effects, due to which the same shade of manicure can look different.
How to match to skin color?
For a flesh-colored manicure to look perfect, it is important to choose a flesh-colored shade according to your skin type. For those with pale skin, it is better to look at coatings in beige and pink tones. Shade the beauty of fair skin with dark flesh tones (such as tan tones) and flesh brown tones. However, in order not to spoil the onion, you need to try to avoid blue paints and flickering coatings.
Olive-toned leather is not in harmony with bronze, beige-lilac or beige-pink. For dark skin, both gentle and light manicure tones and chocolate, soft coffee and even grayish tones are good.
To make them look beautiful and harmonious, you need to avoid getting skin tone and varnish.
Technique
Today, there are several basic manicure techniques that can be used with flesh-colored gel polish. First of all, this is a classic or monochromatic manicure, in which the nail plates are completely painted with one varnish. If at the same time you choose a noble tone and texture of the coating, the manicure will look self-sufficient, without the need for further decoration of the flesh color with white.
Classic aside, flesh is a great base for a traditional and upside-down jacket. Moreover, this technique can be performed in two ways: with ordinary French manicure, the nail plate is covered with a flesh-colored varnish, after which the upper edge is painted with a contrasting varnish. An inverted jacket has a stroke on the edge of the nail plate, not at the top, but at the bottom. At the same time, today it is thinner and more accurate, often even resembles the contour outline of the nail.
The flesh color of the varnish also looks beautiful in the moon manicure technique. In this case, the holes can be unpainted at all or supplemented with a thin bow. This design allows you to visually lengthen the nail plate, which is especially important for short nails. The design with holes in contrast looks attractive.
Sometimes small rhinestones or tiny sequins are added to this design, due to which the design acquires elegance and sophistication.
The design of nails using the ombre or gradient technique looks stylish and fashionable. In this case, gentle contrasts or related tones of gel polish are used. Today the gradient can be either glossy or matte, as well as shimmery. Each type of coating brings its own notes to the feminine image. The choice of flesh shades is quite extensive, so you can decorate your fingernails not only with light shades with a beige undertone, but also:
- rich powdery with pink inclusions;
- addition of coral color;
- brownish or bronze pigment.
In addition to traditional solutions, new manicure techniques are gaining popularity today. These include broken glass and a powdery effect.Broken glass technology is based on the use of a special film, which is cut into small pieces, and then they decorate the surface of accent nails. To fix the result and extend the durability of the coating, a top is applied on top of it.
Powdery manicure is based on sprinkling nails with a top-applied layer of a special polymer powder. Subsequently, the coating is dried under a special drying lamp. The appearance of such a manicure is voluminous and velvety.
However, this technique is more suitable for accentuating a manicure: all the nails of the hands are not made with powder.
Modern options
Decorating nails with a powdery manicure is a way to make the design more elegant and expressive. This color can be decorated using different decorative elements. For example, one of them is all kinds of drawings. The theme of such decoration can be very diverse from peas and stripes to complex lace patterns and the finest feathers.
Flowers and plants painted with acrylic paints look beautiful on flesh-colored nails. One of the trends this season is geometric designs that can be used to decorate accent nails. In addition, seasonal themes are quite in demand today, so in the assortment of patterns you can find not only the usual flowers, plants, but also ears and leaves of different tree species. Winter design options can be decorated with snowflakes, imitation of a snow-covered texture. Someone likes decorating nails with New Year's attributes (snowmen, Christmas socks, deer).
In addition to drawings, stamping and stickers are in demand. Stamps this season will be no less relevant than a drawing. At the same time, they are applied much faster, and the patterns are always accurate and neat, due to which a manicure in flesh tones looks stylish and professional. As for the stickers, they allow you to completely reduce the time for drawing small elements of the picture. There is a huge range of images, among which you can choose an option for every taste.
Japanese decor kamifubuki will also be fashionable this season. At the same time, multi-colored confetti can be not only round, but also triangular, square, in the form of stars, hearts and polygons. Kamifubuki looks great on both matte and glossy accent nails.
To make them look stylish, you should carefully select their shades, combining in color with the main flesh background of the manicure.
Those who like flesh-colored nails with rhinestones or sparkles should consider the purpose of the design. Sparkling decor should be appropriate. For publication, it can be a strip of rhinestones or even a bow at the base of the nail. Single accents from rhinestones on nails with a pattern or sticker will look beautiful.
You can depict the effect of champagne bubbles rising up from the base of the nail. Such a design is in trend today, and they use glitter, shimmer coatings, rhinestones, as well as sequins of all sizes for it. Sequins can be used to cover a three-dimensional pattern on top, giving the design elegance. Pigments such as gold and silver should be dosed: modern nude manicure should not compete with women's jewelry.
