New items and fashion trends
Monochromatic manicure this season is most often done in nude shades, and as neutral as possible - powdery and beige. When the coating in one color seems boring, then one nail (usually an unnamed one) is made out either with a volumetric pattern, or with glitter, or with a suitable decorative element. Brown gamut is no less popular - chocolate nails without a pattern always look neat and perfectly complement bright images that do not require loud colors. In addition, such a coating looks equally organic both in the office and at a party.

This suggests that the nail plate must be degreased and sanded, the excess cuticle must be removed, and the shape must be corrected if necessary. If you neglect this rule, then the dark color will highlight all the shortcomings of the manicure.

Color Tips
When choosing a varnish, it is important to ensure that the shade is in harmony with the skin tone, regardless of whether it is a bright finish, a classic dark color or neutral nude. For yellowish or slightly greenish skin, bright and dark palettes with an additional orange tone, such as coral and peach, are suitable. Those shades of nude that belong to white or beige will also be appropriate. Bluish skin with prominent wreaths is combined with pastel tones tending to pink. For such girls, various variations of blue are suitable, for example, azure, deep purple or blue.

In this case, the dark red tone is considered universal., almost the color of ripe tomatoes, or berry shades. If a girl has beautiful skin, then it is better for her to choose the most pigmented varnishes and be wary of overly pretentious colors. Pink tones will look good on light fingers. If the skin is a little darker, then bright orange and warm pink colors look good, and dark-skinned young ladies should pay attention to the menthol palette. There is also a recommendation to turn to varnishes that can create or emphasize the effect of tanning: yellow, green, orange and pastel colors.

In addition, a properly selected shade is able to visually adjust the appearance of the nail plate. Pastel tones with a dense texture, tending to snow-white, externally expand the surface, while dark tones make it narrower. In the case when the marigolds need to be reduced, for light skin it is advised to choose a rich blue, for a medium tone - gray-blue, and for dark skin - aqua. To solve the opposite problem, fair-skinned girls need to cover their nails with delicate pink, with a medium tone - white or beige, and dark-skinned ones - nude, tending to pink.
