Autumn manicure: design features and novelties of the season
Autumn is one of the controversial seasons of the year. For some, it is associated with melancholy, for others it is time to reboot, and for some, the arrival of autumn adds a depressive state. In spite of everything, she does not leave any woman indifferent, so let's delight ourselves with an autumn manicure, because the trend of seasonality of design today is one of the leading directions of nail art.
Style features
Autumn manicure is one of the four seasonal design trends in the modern nail sphere. It is executed based on several important points:
- choosing the right shades of pigmented gel polishes;
- taking into account the optimal shape of the nail plates;
- choosing the best design techniques;
- choosing the right decorative elements;
- considering items of clothing for women’s wardrobe;
- matching the design with the style and the specific occasion.
Each of the points has its own nuances. It's no secret that nothing conveys the right mood more than pleasant tones of the color palette. They can indicate not only belonging to autumn, but even indicate its month. For example, the early autumn season can be conveyed with bright tones of the palette, for cold and rainy ones, choose more neutral tones.
The shape of nails today depends on the shape and length of the fingers of a particular woman. In this regard, there are no strict restrictions, although the only one, perhaps, can be called excessive length. The fact is that such nails are strongly tapering towards the upper edge, and therefore complicate the decoration and distort the drawings. In addition, such nails do not look particularly feminine, and fashion strives for naturalness and naturalness.
If you want your nails to appear visually longer, it is better to make them oval.For short marigolds, it is worth choosing solutions that exclude transverse stripes and a contrasting stroke of the upper edge, since this shortens the nail plates. The best length, according to fashion trends, is considered to be moderate or medium today. In this case, the edge of the nail can be straight, rounded or almond-shaped.
Regarding the wardrobe, you need to choose a design so that it does not outweigh the female image and does not shout about yourself, persistently attracting the attention of others. For example, colder and neutral tones look great in casual looks. Bright colors will be more appropriate when the color of the clothes is calmer. At the same time, the use of related tones of the same color is harmonious, but it is impossible to complement a bright outfit with a bright manicure color.
Style is one of the key points when choosing an autumn nail design. It is important that the design matches the chosen direction in clothing, as well as the inner world. For example, for office and office-business it is better to limit yourself to the tones of the corporal and brown group. So the manicure can be combined with different clothes, and it will not stand out against the background of a strict dress code. As for the purpose of the design, everything will depend on the type of materials used. For example, if a manicure is done with ordinary varnishes, you can even afford pretentious decorations, going to a party or, say, on a weekend. When you cover your nails with hybrid varnishes, you have to deny yourself something, because you will have to wear such a design for at least two to four weeks in a row.

Decor in techniques
Autumn manicure looks great in different techniques. In this case, the base can be monochromatic or more complex. In each case, the design is selected in advance, combining tones and taking into account their compatibility with each other. For example, a classic manicure, in which nails are painted completely over the entire area of the nail plate, would be a safe bet.
Depending on the chosen decor, it will look quite impressive against such a background. It can be used as a background for artistic painting, stained glass technique. It is suitable for fixing sliders, decorating the base with dotted circles, or even kamifubuki. The classic technique is good in that it allows you to reveal the beauty of the varnish used, be it matte, glossy, shimmery or chameleon version. Mirror nails will also look beautiful in this technique.
Rubbing can be called an excellent technique for decorating a classic manicure. This powder is so diverse today that you can choose an option with an imitation of any desired effect. For example, decorating a monochromatic base with rubbing under the shell of the May beetle or even holography will be harmonious. Such a manicure will be spectacular, and due to the creativity and unusual play of autumn shades, it will successfully fit into the image of an urban fashionista.
If you want other effects, you can decorate a classic manicure with chrome, pearl, chameleon or glass rubbing. The secret of this material lies in the pigments themselves, which change perception as the powder is rubbed into the base. You can use the effects "unicorn", "aurora", "prism", "flakes". Most varieties of this powder provide for further decorating of nails, and are also suitable for techniques such as traditional and reverse french, moon manicure and broken glass techniques.
French is a great solution for an autumn seasonal design. Beautiful falling leaves, an orange or golden smile - judge for yourself how beautiful and harmonious it is. In addition, the jacket is so diverse today that it is impossible not to use it at least once in the fall. You can design using the negative space technique, thereby paying tribute to the latest fashion trends. With her, the main part of the nail plate is painted only with transparent varnish, since it is important to show its healthy and refined appearance.
The jacket looks great in the veil technique when the base of the nail is made with a translucent pigment. At the same time, a smile can be traditional thin or wide, symmetrical or asymmetrical. It looks beautiful and diagonal.On a veil jacket, fire or frozen leaves look great, as well as raindrops made with a modeling gel with a transparent texture.
If you don't want to draw leaves, you can simply glue them onto the base using ready-made stickers. As a rule, such decor looks chic and professional, while it takes very little time to complete it. As for the ideas of drawings, fashionable and appropriate for autumn design, then in addition to a variety of leaves, it can be ripe berries, umbrellas, landscapes of a rainy city, juicy apples and even vegetables.
For later autumn, a variety of branches are good, trees empty without leaves, and even puddles with leaves floating inside them. Puddles with frozen water will look no less interesting on the nails, which can be realized using the broken glass technique. You can also show that the design belongs to autumn by using an unusual texture. For example, it can be an imitation of a knitted fabric, which will automatically add the right mood to an autumn manicure.

Customizing the image
No matter how beautiful a seasonal fall manicure is, without a specific image, it can seem pretentious or even too bright. To look fashionable and appropriate, it is worthwhile to think over the purpose of this or that option in advance. Let's consider several examples of nail design in order to understand which one will be appropriate in a particular image.
- Decorating nails in soothing colors will perfectly fit into the everyday look of a city woman. The theme of geometry and austere design will allow the manicure to decorate the nails of office workers.
- This design is good for publishing. The use of a matte texture and a flake effect polish enhances accent nails.
- Lunar technique for short nails, made in Marsala tone and decorated with gold stripes, can decorate the urban image of an aristocrat. You can support the bow with a bag or shoes in color.
- A harmonious solution in a geometric style for a business woman. The neutral scale fits perfectly into many bows of such women, taking on the necessary emotional coloring depending on the new outfit.
- An equally harmonious solution in beige and marsh tones with black leaves on accent nails can complement the image of a student or even a new look, eclecticism, fusion or even rustic style.
- Early fall on rain-themed nails and trees dropping leaves can complete the look of neutral, underground, and swag. To combine a bright design background in your image, you need to think over the selection of accessories.
- This design indicates belonging to the image of the military. Fans of this style of clothing will surely like it. However, in order for such a design to be appropriate in a woman's bow, it will be necessary to limit the selection of image elements to monochromatic things.
- An original solution for swag fans who prefer to combine the incompatible with the emphasis on the high cost of each element of the image. And also such a design will look harmonious in a trash bow, for which unusual and extravagance is important in everything.
When choosing this or that design of a seasonal manicure, one must not forget that for the harmony of the image, its color scheme should be included in the related group of the clothes being worn or the chosen accessory. The water manicure technique can help in this regard, for which several shades of gel polish are used. They are dripped into the water, after which they are recruited with a roller, thus creating a kind of stickers that are subsequently fixed on the nails. So you can successfully fit a manicure into the majority of women's images, choosing the tones of varnish to match the existing clothes of the wardrobe.
Don't discount beige or flesh. Such a basis will soften the perception of saturated colors, and also add premium and sophistication to the manicure. Regarding the priorities between art design or print, every fashionista decides for herself. Moreover, not only geometry, leaves or, say, ethnic ornaments, but also fiery foxes, which today is considered one of the trends in manicure, will look harmonious on the nails. Draw them or glue ready-made stickers - each of us will decide for herself based on her experience and taste.
