Manicure "Paris" - bright accents and stylish solutions
Creating a Parisian-style manicure can be a lot of fun, as it includes a flight of the designer's imagination and work with all your favorite images. The main thing is to remember that such a design must be created stylishly and with a special taste, then everything will work out.
Basic rules
Every girl's nails, regardless of whether she has a manicure or not, should look neat. To do this, you must follow some rules.
- Moistened cuticle area. It is this part of the nail that determines its appearance, therefore, before performing the design, you should remove the cuticle and apply a moisturizer.
- It is worthwhile to carefully approach the choice of the shape for the nail, since it is always individual and matched to the shape, length and thickness of the finger.
- If the nail plate requires sanding, it must be done before applying the varnish.
After following these simple rules, you can start choosing a design.
"French"
When choosing a nail design in a Parisian style, you should pay special attention to this type of manicure, like "French". This timeless classic is the symbol of French manicure. With him, nails always look stylish, neat and well-groomed. A feature of this type of manicure is simplicity. It is not so difficult to execute it.
- Apply the base for manicure to the nail plate.
- For the main color, choose natural shades in the flesh spectrum: light pink, beige, cream. The basic tone is applied once or twice, depending on the thickness of the varnish and color saturation.
- Using a stencil, a characteristic white stripe is made along the line of the edge of the nail. It is worth remembering that the width of the strip should not go over the nail itself, but only pass along its regrown edge, otherwise the manicure will look ridiculous.
- The final layer is applied with a transparent fixing varnish.
This type of manicure will suit all types of outfit and will look appropriate in any situation.
Special symbolism
To create a Parisian manicure, you can use the recognizable symbols of a country or city. So, the Eiffel Tower or the French tricolor will suitably decorate the design. The base for any drawing should be a neutral color. It can be any shade from blue to creamy pink, as long as it is pastel. Then a manicure with a pattern will not look too flashy or overloaded. On one of the nails, you can draw a famous tower, a bicycle, or write the name of the city itself in black.
In the design, you can beat the French tricolor: blue, white, red. The flag can be painted on one of the nails or the colors of the tricolor can be included in the overall picture of the manicure. The French language is beautiful and recognizable, so you can safely write your favorite words in French, for example, "love", "life", "peace" or any other word that means something to you. The names of the country and the city will also fit well in the design of the nails.
Parisian chic
To create a manicure in the style of Paris, both knowledge from the world of fashion and an understanding of the general mood of culture will come in handy. Here are some of the features that make your French manicure so recognizable.
- Pastel shades... It is better to use lighter and softer shades in design: from blue to lilac and from pink to beige. The only exception to the general rule is red.
- Lace... Black lace pattern on pink or beige will perfectly fit into the French theme.
- Strip... Stripes of the same color, differing only in shade or color saturation, also resemble the French style. Beige and brown are especially beautifully combined.
- Black Eiffel Tower on a gold background... This version of the manicure will look very stylish and atmospheric.
- Girl in a little black dress in the style of Coco Chanel... This woman was the founder of one of the most famous brands in France, so she had no equal in style. A little black dress, bow, ribbon and other items in this theme, representing a black silhouette against any background, will certainly be a great addition to a French manicure.
There are many more symbols of France, you just have to turn on your imagination and trust your taste.
