Sophisticated ideas for an elegant manicure

The desire of a woman to be irresistible is quite natural. I would like the image to feel not only harmony, but also there was elegance. In pursuit of it, we sometimes forget that it implies minimalism and restraint. A particularly important addition to the image is the correct manicure. Let's take a look at what factors determine elegance, how to achieve it based on a particular nail art technique.

Elegance does not scream about itself, does not impose attention with aggressiveness. Therefore, it is better not to use acidic and harsh tones of manicure varnish. It is important that the nails complement the image, giving it a high status, and it is unrealistic to do this with poisonous paints. It is also necessary to think about the length of the nails: their large length can in no way fit into the bow of an elegant woman. Ideally, it can be elongated, but not too long. Small nails will better accentuate sophistication than claws of intimidating length and shape. In addition, the average length is more democratic to the choice of varnish color, which cannot be said about long nails.

The elegance of a manicure must take into account some rules. For example, in addition to eliminating flashy tones:

• minimal use of jewelry is encouraged;
• a prerequisite should be the dosage of accents;
• cloned drawings are undesirable, especially large ones;
• it is better to use delicate shades in the design;
• when combining contrasting colors, no more than three tones should be used;

• it is advisable to reduce the amount of shine on the nails to a minimum;
• the emphasis in design is on one thing (varnish texture, drawing, rhinestones);
• several types of decor cannot be used for decoration at once;
• accents on two adjacent nails should differ in the volume of the occupied area (one main, the second minor).

However, everything is not so simple here either: light companions always bring lightness into the design, but dark ones can even age in addition to weighting. It is advisable to avoid such contrasts. Therefore, the choice of companions must be treated thoroughly. They should be selected to match the accessory or specific details of the wardrobe.

The ideal basis for an elegant manicure is the classic single color nail polish. If at the same time a matte gel polish with a velvety texture is used, such a manicure may not need a different decor at all. In addition, the classic allows the decoration of accent nails. A single accent is enough to show sophistication, which can be done on the ring finger.

The classics can look great if the design is based on the play of contrast between matte and glossy textures. For example, you can paint all your nails in the same color using a matte finish, and paint glossy lace on the accent nail of each hand with varnish of the same shade. This design will look beautiful and elegant.

An excellent solution for creating an elegant look is a jacket in any of its varieties. If you do a classic manicure with a traditional smile, it is enough to paint one nail completely, draw laces on it in color to match the smile. You cannot decorate all your nails with a fantasy smile: it is better to use, for example, lace, but only for accents. Drawings must be chosen correctly: often monochrome looks better on a jacket than stained glass pictures painted in several contrasting tones.

Speaking of the manner of execution, it is worth mentioning that the elegance of a manicure can be given by a professional drawing. If you don't have any drawing skills, it is better to use ready-made stickers or a slider design for decorating the accent. One of the best techniques to show the beauty of a manicure is a gradient. For an elegant look, it is better to do it in the form of a smooth stretch, using related tones of the same color.

The veil technique of manicure looks super beautiful in a female image. To make it look sophisticated and elegant, it is better to combine it with a classic manicure, taking as a basis a matte translucent background and decorating it with a simple pattern. Whether to stroke the path or not, in this case, each master will determine independently, since sometimes it is not needed at all.

As for the "broken flow" technique, it will look good in the image of an elegant woman if you use a manicure film over light tones of gel polish. On dark ones, it creates a disco effect, it looks bright and catchy. For light shades, use it on one finger, softening the effect with a classic design or a jacket. In this case, it is better to lay out the pieces of film in the form of a specific figure, leaving some part of the nail unused for decor.

Not every manicure can become elegant. However, in general, it is not limited to any decor. But, as the Italian couturier Giorgio Armani said, three principles are important for the formula for success: elegance, comfort and nothing more.Everything should be like from the catwalk, but adapted for real life. A manicure should be such that, in addition to the everyday look, it can also decorate an evening dress.

This is all that needs to be taken into account when performing this or that design. The accent nail can be decorated with:

• hand-patterned (mehendi, dotted, lace);
• ready-made stamping stamp (white, silver, gray);
• slider design (preferred themes are lace, monograms, geometry);
• self-adhesive sticker (ideal is the logo of the Fashion House);

• manicure foil (tape for geometric designs and tape to decorate the entire accent surface);
• acrylic sand to add volume (in color or contrast to one of the tones used);
• rubbing (mainly pearl dust or a mermaid).

An elegant manicure can become if it is performed in a shade akin to a certain wardrobe item. It is better to choose light colors of the coating. If you want to use a rub for decoration, you should not abuse it: it will look more expressive on one or two nails than rubbing it on all ten. Moreover, if you rub in the powder less, it will give a lighter result. When you need to use a rub in for further nail design, it can be combined with acrylic sugar. In this case, it is advisable to draw simple drawings, sprinkling them with powder, but excessive complexity can spoil the overall design. So, the best solution would be one technique, taken as a basis, and one emphasis on each hand. If you want more accents, you can add two more.

It is better to design accents on two adjacent fingers: ring and middle. At the same time, the motives of the picture may be different, but the theme should be the same. If the geometric theme of the pattern is chosen, one accent on each hand is enough. As for the moon manicure, you can bet on the unusual shape of the hole. For example, it can be triangular. A design with a narrow triangle accent extending from the base of the nail to its upper edge will look beautiful. However, for such a design to look beautiful, the color of the triangle should be lighter than the main background. Dark figures on a light background often visually change the shape of the plates not for the better.

Vertical lines and a diagonal cage are in fashion. You can use shades of pastel shades, drawing them into multi-colored stripes, crossing them with each other. If the rest of the nails are monochromatic, this design will look very beautiful. Vertical stripes can be painted on a veil base by adorning the base with a tiny rhinestone. By the way, this is a great basis for using kamifubuki.

Refined and graceful manicure is picky about the subject of the drawing. Therefore, no spiders, cobwebs and skulls can become the basis for its decoration. Cells, single flowers, branches, buds, feathers, monograms, nets, spikelets are the best solutions for accents. In order not to diminish the status, do not color the pictures. Even a straight line with dots on it can add elegance to a laconic classic.
