Fashionable options for a dark matte manicure

Beautiful nails have become an integral part of every girl's image. Attention to nail design began to be paid no less than makeup, hair styling or the selection of clothes. Often it is the manicure that can dictate the mood of the whole image.

Matte nail designs are a relatively recent trend in the fashion world. With deafening popularity, matte varnishes have flooded shop counters and shelves in the houses of fashionistas. Gradually, glossy varnishes give way to matte ones, because with them there is much more room for a flight of imagination.

The matte palette itself is not very bright. No matter how saturated the color is, it will still be muted due to the structure of the varnish. Therefore, recently, a dark matte manicure has become popular.

A matte finish can be achieved in a variety of ways.

• The first and most common is the application of matte varnish.
• The second option is to make a matte finish from glossy varnish using a buff (a special manicure file with varying degrees of graininess). They need to remove the first layer from the glossy varnish and dry in a lamp.
• The third way is with acrylic powder. It is necessary to carefully polish the top layer of varnish while it has not yet hardened, then dry it completely with a lamp.

Short nails are a trend that won't fade over time. Over the past decades, short nails have been competing for the palm with long artificial nails. But not all forms of long nails are matte, while for short ones this is the best option.

Consider some design options for a dark matte manicure.

• Drawings and patterns. Geometry of the designs will be a great option to highlight the sophistication of the manicure. Rhombuses, triangles, simple stripes, curved dashed lines are now a must-have. The romance of the image can be played up with ornate spirals or wavy stripes.

• An original solution would be to apply on a matte surface "Wet droplets"... The base of the manicure is monochromatic, without any patterns, preferably a more saturated, deep color. Spread a small amount of glossy top on your nails and dry in a lamp.

• French. A classic in manicure with both glossy and matte varnish. An excellent option can be a jacket using matte and glossy varnish at the same time. The nail itself will be matte, and the "smile" will be painted with a glossy finish.

• A truly excellent option would be volumetric matte patterns... You can choose and mix anything here. For example, take a glossy varnish as a basis, and apply a matte drawing, or vice versa. So the drawing will be beautifully emphasized, it will playfully shimmer on the nails and look very unusual.

• Rhinestones. These small bright crystals with their appearance can completely transform an image from a simple everyday to an expensive evening one.

In the design with artificially extended nails, nails of the "ballerina" shape have recently become popular - this is a combination of almond-shaped and square shapes. She has collected a large number of fans of different ages, because she beautifully emphasizes her hands, giving them grace and grace, lengthens and stretches the nails, making them thinner.

For example, space is an interesting and unusual design. It can be done on all nails or accentuated on selected fingers. Preference here will be given to black as the base, and as a filling of the picture it is worth choosing deep blue, blue, purple, lilac, muted pink and silver shades with which the stars will be drawn.

A dark manicure is perfect for creating a festive Halloween atmosphere. It will be possible to draw pumpkins, ghosts or skeletons on the nails, making a kind of gallery of pictures on each finger.

Another favorite in matte manicure designs are dusting and rubbing. It is not difficult to perform, but very time consuming process, but the result will be great.
