Vacation manicure: original ideas

Going south, among other things, you need to take care of the beauty of your hands by making a beautiful manicure. You can perform holiday nail design in a simple and attractive manner or in a bright one, corresponding to the mood of freedom and carelessness. There are a lot of ideas.

Beach manicure can be created by building on experience in nail design. In the collection of necessary tools you need to have:

• a transparent base of good quality, contributing to the preservation of the healthy appearance of natural nails;
• a set of varnishes of different colors;
• high-quality topcoat;
• various decorative elements and glue to them;
• a set of brushes of different thicknesses;
• adhesive strips that can be used to create geometric patterns;
• nail polish remover;
• cotton swabs and discs;
• cuticle oil suitable for daily use.

The image of a woman in general and her nails in particular must match the setting. On a summer beach, manicure in bright colors, with patterns and textures suggested by nature itself, will organically look. Nails can be smooth and shiny or rough, like wet fingers have just been in the beach sand. This effect also allows you to hide the flaws of the nail plate itself. When creating a manicure, you can combine smooth and rough nails.

When creating nail art, the following colors are chosen as the basis:

• heavenly shades;
• colors of sea waves from pale blue to dark blue;
• turquoise;
• White;
• green tones;
• sunny shades from dull yellow to sunset red;
• sand colors - beige or golden.

The decor can be added:

• beads;
• pebbles;
• decorative shells;
• rhinestones;
• mother-of-pearl rub;
• golden glitter;
• thematic stickers.

It is not necessary to "construct" images with a lot of detail on the nails. A combination or contrast of 2-3 colors will also be appropriate.

There are no age restrictions for creating a manicure in a beach-marine theme. Another question is that when choosing a particular design, you need to take into account who specifically it is intended for. Starfish, ships and sharks will be good on the fingers of a young carefree person not burdened with status restrictions. For a middle-aged or older woman in a position of responsibility, a discreet design solution is more appropriate. Although this does not mean that such a manicure should be boring, devoid of bright accents.

If you want something bright and festive, you can create a pink manicure by decorating your ring finger nails with palm tree designs. This will require:

• clear varnish for the base coat;
• pink, white and black gel polishes;
• acrylic powder in pink, green and yellow;
• Ultraviolet lamp.

First apply a clear base coat, sealing the edges of the nails. Dry under a lamp. The first layer of pink gel is applied to the nail plates of all fingers (except for the ring fingers). Dry. Apply a second layer.

After drying, white gel polish is applied to the nails of the ring fingers, and then diagonally, starting from the edge, with a brush - stripes of pink, green, and at the very hole - yellow powder. Remove excess with a napkin. Dry under a lamp for 30 seconds.

They take a very thin brush and apply black gel polish in the form of a pair of palm trees on the decorated with a powder nail with strips. To do this, it is enough to make two lines coming out of one point, and draw "spreading crowns" on the top of each. Polymerize again and then apply a final clear coat on all nails.

The marine theme can be emphasized with stripes on the nail plates. In the image in black and white, it is easy to recognize variations on the theme of the sailor's vest. By depicting anchors and other attributes of naval life on individual nails, the "sea impression" can be enhanced. A combination with a delicate pink color will make the image serene.

The gradient technique allows you to display on nails, for example, the sea with subtle transitions of shades of moving waves rolling on the golden sand. An impressive effect is achieved by simple means.

When creating a manicure using this technique, you can choose any color scheme. A combination of lilac with pink, beige with peach and orange with yellow looks appropriate on the beach. You can complement the picture with sparkles or rhinestones.

A festive effect can be achieved by placing cheerful confetti and voluminous shiny decorations on the lilac background of the nail plate. In general, such a manicure creates the mood of an evening with dancing and laughter on the seashore.

Someone will consider the use of Shinju stones (otherwise they are also called quartz) as the best option for decorating nails. They come in sizes from 1 to 3 millimeters, they shine beautifully, combined with other voluminous decorations. With their help, you can create intricate designs on the nail plates, laying them out on gel polish. A green or blue background for them will be most appropriate on the beach.

The use of blue shades with the addition of mother-of-pearl will perfectly fit the theme of the beach and the sea, recalling seashells, pearls and other mysterious gifts at the bottom of the deep sea.

To create a spectacular manicure in a nautical theme, you can use the wet technique. This will make it possible with the help of gel polish to embody the effect of moving sea water into reality. On the varnish, stains are made with a brush, creating a unique pattern.

The option of repeating a print on a swimsuit in the design of nails may seem commonplace. But he will completely suit women who pay attention to the strict compatibility of all components of the image. And a woman of elegant age will be able to afford such a manicure, no matter how intricate the pattern on a bathing suit may be.

Images on some nail plates of fruits or berries look harmoniously against the background of a bright monochromatic manicure on the rest of the fingers, creating a joyful summer mood. It can be done both with the help of ready-made stickers and thanks to rhinestones that are glued to the nails in the form of bright voluminous berries.

If you depict scales on individual nails, and waves on others, such a manicure will fully fit into the theme of a beach holiday and boat trips. Rich background tones such as navy blue add depth and contrast. Thanks to this, the manicure will attract the attention of even the most absent-minded people on vacation.

Lovers of light shades can use a silvery-blue or pinkish-lilac shade to create a background for a "scaly" manicure. It is not difficult to apply such a drawing. Even the girl who has a deuce in drawing will cope with the image of semicircles.

When creating a drawing in a marine style, you can not create a "complete" picture on each individual finger, but "force", for example, sea fish to "swim" from nail to nail. Giving volume to the image allows you to emphasize the originality and reliability of such a design.

The same principle of "blending" can be used when applying a separate image in the marine theme to each nail. All nail plates are "united" by one link - the image of the ship's rope. At the same time, a manicure allows you to use a background coating of different shades within the framework of one stylistic solution.

A sunset-style manicure using yellow, orange and black tones always produces the desired effect. These can be not only ready-made stickers, but also clever brush images in the form of silhouettes of seagulls, a yacht, a lighthouse or the same palm tree, contrasting with the colors of the evening sun plunging into the sea.

The cocktail theme is present not only in the beach vacation as such, but is actively used in the creation of nail art. The image on the nails of various variations of "sweets" and "drinks" in a cartoon spirit is especially suitable for young girls who are determined to get maximum joy and pleasure from their rest.

Lovers of calm green tones can adopt two shades of this color. A turtle can be placed on the striped base. With such a manicure, a girl will feel comfortable and carefree on the beach with a glass of cocktail in her hand.

The competent use of overlay elements on the nails, even with a large number of them, will not make the manicure overloaded with details.For those in love with the tale of sea treasures, this design will cheer up the whole vacation.

Going on vacation at sea, I want the manicure to survive all the days spent there without causing annoyance with its spoiled look. If a high-quality gel polish, base and top are used to create a design, and they have already proven themselves well when creating an everyday manicure, there is no doubt that all this will also safely withstand a trip to warm regions.

Most of all, there is hope for a single-color coating without the use of jewelry such as rhinestones, foil and other stickers. Also, experts advise against making your nails very long. Short or medium lengths are more comfortable and less likely to break than long ones.

If, in addition to lying on the beach and swimming in the sea, you plan to engage in extreme sports, for example, climbing rocks, it is better to limit yourself to a modest manicure on short nails without using decorative elements that are fixed with glue.
