Pastel colors are primarily pale pink, sky blue, lilac, creamy, light gray, cream, sand, peach or white. Among the many shades of these colors, you can create the perfect combination for a delicate and quivering manicure.
Despite the fact that the design in pastel colors looks beautiful and elegant on nails of any length, today the priority is a calm manicure on nails of moderate length ranging from 3 to 5 mm.
According to the shape of the plates, in accordance with modern fashion trends, it is better to choose a neat almond-shaped or oval one. Also, the soft rounded square ("squoval") is still popular, giving ladies' hands a femininity and elegance at the same time.
Various elements can be used as decorative details.

Rhinestones
The advantage of rhinestones is that they can be used on short nails too. They are perfectly combined with delicate and nude colors. However, it is worth remembering that it is important not to overdo it with their number of rhinestones: two or three will be quite enough. Shiny stones can be used both in silver and in other shades, matching to the clothes. Such a manicure is suitable both for everyday life and for a not too strict office dress code.

Modeling on nails
The sculpting process of nail design can be compared to the reduced work of a sculptor. Compositions with such a variation of the decor are voluminous and graceful. The elements for creating a volumetric figure are modeling acrylic powder and liquid monomer, which, when mixed, give a plastic polymer mass. It is she who serves as the very material for the decoration of nails. It can be both flowers and all kinds of bows, figurines, curls, leaves, patterns, symbols, shells, ladybugs, butterflies, etc.
The so-called 3D modeling involves preliminary coating with acrylic or gel polish., which provides a more accurate effect and prolongs the lifespan of the manicure. For such a decor, the nail plate is often made of an oval, almond-shaped or sharp shape for a medium or large length. However, sculpting can also be used on short nails, but the patterns should be as miniature as possible.

Tiny beads
Another example of an extraordinary design of the nail plate is small beads of beads. This method involves the use of a specially made material called broth. It can be purchased at any beauty supply store. The decorating procedure is more than easy: a varnish of a pre-selected shade is applied to the nail, and then beads are immediately sprinkled. It is important to have time for this before the varnish dries. Such a special and creative design will perfectly complement the integrity of the bow and emphasize the festive image.
To form a certain ornament, it is necessary to use a tool that allows you to point the pattern out. You can use a toothpick, needle or tweezers as it.

Mirror powder
Glitter rubbing is another fashionable novelty this year. Small particles of shiny chrome pigment are used for decoration.The mirror effect is achieved by rubbing the pigment with a sponge applicator onto the nail plate pre-coated with the base of the selected shade. Such nail art is also not difficult.
The color of the resulting shade of the manicure depends on the color of the mirror powder itself, and on the color of the base coat. Among the most popular shades of rubbing are gold, silver, pink, pearl. It is worth noting that the pearl shade is often chosen to complement the wedding bow. It gives tenderness, lightness, romance, femininity and at the same time originality.

Kamifubuki
Behind such an exotic word lies actually the simplest, but at the same time delightful nail design. Kamifubuki, which means "paper storm" in Japanese, is shiny confetti or sequins. For a delicate manicure, use the blue, pink, white colors of an exclusive product.
To apply such a decor, the nail plate must first be prepared. A base for gel polish is applied and polymerized. Next, it is necessary to cover with the gel polish itself of the desired shade in several layers. Polymerization of the outermost layer of gel polish is not required, since the kamifubuki will be placed on it. The material should be applied before the varnish dries, using a special tool - a dotsom. After the glitter has been placed in the right places, it is necessary to polymerize the last layer in the lamp again, apply the top and repeat the procedure. Such a manicure looks impressive, sophisticated and especially gentle.

Velvet sand
Among the design techniques for decorating nails, velvet sand is especially popular. This is a unique medium-sized powder of its kind, which, when interacting with a liquid, becomes denser, and does not soften like fine glitter. Due to its texture, this material lasts long enough.
The powder itself is translucent, and the shade of the manicure depends on the chosen base varnish for nails. Velvet sand can be satin and matte, due to which the effect on the nail surface is either suede or sugar.
Powder adds sophistication and luxury to manicure.

Broken glass technique
A popular trend in the world of nail design. Looks great in the context of the delicate nail art color spectrum.
For this decor, a light foil-film is used, which, after coating with a layer of varnish, gives a soft glow effect. This combination allows you to expand the entire range of manicure.

Drawings
Contrary to general claims that floral designs can overwhelm delicate manicure, this decor is used everywhere. And for good reason. Flowers, petals, all kinds of twigs, polka dots and stripes become the perfect complement to a delicate look. A careful selection of unusual designs and patterns will emphasize the depth and uniqueness of nature.
Nevertheless, it must be remembered that in such a design there is a danger of overloading the integrity of the image.
Therefore, it is important to stay calm and not sculpt everything on each nail.
Ideally enough decor on one or two fingers.

Among all the variety of decorative elements already listed for delicate manicure, the classic options still remain ombre, French and lunar techniques, which are very popular today.
The ombre technique, dip dye, or, more simply, gradient, is not something supernova. However, despite this, it is quite popular at the present time, when all templates and frames have been erased.
Such a design is a combination of not only several shades, but also a variation of the texture of the varnish coating - glossy or matte. In addition, there can be several color combinations, which will make your nails even more spectacular.
Despite the fact that this season, especially summer, is characterized by bright contrasting colors for ombre, the laconic combination of calm colors does not lose its popularity. Among them are beige, peach, pale pink and blue, emerald, sand, cream, nude, gray shades.

Today the classic jacket is complemented by various shapes of rhinestones, sequins, artistic designs and lace paintings. And the traditional "smile" can be replaced with a different shape and even color. The technique of gradient transition is also used.
The lunar technique is a top-of-the-line interpretation of the traditional service jacket. This design owes its name to the part of the nail plate near the cuticle, on which the playing varnish is applied. Its consonant name - lunula and the very shape of the rounded crescent itself - denoted such a term.
Among the advantages of the technique is complete independence from the length of the nail plate. The form does not need to be adjusted to fit any established framework.

The color scheme is also varied, but professional manicure masters advise to combine either shades of the same color, or combine them in pairs. For example, for the first option, you can use a deep purple and delicate lavender. And in the second case, it can be a combination of mint and yellow, blue and pink colors. Both options look equally gentle and feminine. Such a manicure is not age-dependent and in no way violates the office dress code.
Variations in performing gentle manicure using this technique are endless, and each of them is unique and attractive in its own way. You can experiment with both color transitions and textures (gloss and matte), drawings and decorative elements.
