Manicure at sea: design options and fashion trends
There are many occasions in life when the color and design of a manicure is of great importance. One of those moments is the long-awaited trip to the sea. Since the harmony of the image and appearance on vacation for a woman will be very important, you should choose the appropriate design option for nails, taking into account personal preferences and modern trends in nail art.
Decor features
Despite the fact that many experts and the fair sex are of the opinion that when going to the sea, nails on hands and feet should also have a little rest, leaving them without the usual varnishing in order to improve and strengthen them, not every modern girl follows similar guidelines. And this step is quite justified, because on the trip you also want to look stunning. In addition, summer vacations are often associated with a lot of new experiences and acquaintances, so women want to look 100% on vacation.
Undoubtedly, you can stop at the standard hygienic manicure., which will also be appropriate, but if a sea trip is not limited only to visiting the beach, but involves hiking to local attractions, restaurants and other entertainment venues, every woman wants to stand out from the rest of the rest of the vacationers, and an original manicure will help her with this.
In addition, as practice shows, even under a layer of varnish, the nail plate is strengthened and nourished by nutrients that sea water and air contain.This point should be taken into account when choosing a manicure at sea, because under the influence of vitamins and microelements, the nails will not only get stronger, but also grow faster.
In light of the above, when deciding in favor of one or another option for a marine manicure, several important nuances should be taken into account. They will help to maintain the original attractiveness of the created design, and will also allow the manicure to be combined with the theme of the trip and the way of spending time in it.
- First of all, it should be clearly understood that for a certain period of time you will have to almost constantly be under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, heat and water, therefore, the design of the nails must correspond to such an atmosphere. That is, the ideas and drawings applied to the nails should contain associations with the hot summer, the sea and holidays. This also applies to color solutions for varnishing, where all the options for blue and gold will become the most relevant, and the rest is about imagination and desires.
- But the brightness and relevance of the design is not all. Equally important are the durability and strength of the coating and the materials used for decoration.
It is important that the manicure lasts at least ten days on the nails. That is why it is worth giving preference to a design that has an additional coating that can fix the coloring composition and the decorative materials used on the base.
Some experts recommend abandoning volumetric sculpting or numerous stones and rhinestones, which on vacation can be damaged or fall off, which will ruin the overall picture. In addition, it is better to entrust the creation of a marine manicure to a professional master who can use ordinary varnishes, gel polishes or gel paints for the job.
- It will not be superfluous to think over a marine image, and also try, on the basis of the chosen wardrobe and accessories, to choose the most suitable manicure option, so that the image is as beautiful and harmonious as possible in any situation.
Nail shape
When choosing a suitable option for a marine manicure, it is worth considering that a bright summer design, like a classic jacket with elements of a marine theme, will look best on nails of medium length or on very short ones. In the most natural setting, being on the beach close to nature, excessive makeup on your face or having complicated hairstyles, like long nails on your hands and feet, are best avoided. This will emphasize the natural beauty and attractiveness, and golden tan will only contribute to this.
In addition, with frequent contact with sea water, the nails become softer, which means they become brittle, therefore, in order to avoid unpleasant situations in which well-groomed, but long nails can simply break and spoil the entire design, it will be more correct to cut them shorter during the summer vacation.
As for the form, this question is individual for each woman. Small nails can be rounded, which will be relevant for a delicate jacket, or leave them slightly pointed. This option will be appropriate when they are designed in the form of various fruits. For the image of a vest or sea waves, it is best to give the nails an approximate square shape.
Palette of shades
The fundamental factor when choosing a manicure for a trip to the sea is the color scheme.
- In order for a manicure to be truly summer, a good option would be to use several juicy and bright colors or several shades of the same color at once.
