Pearlescent manicure: fashion trends and design options

Every modern fashionista pays attention to every little detail, making up her daily look. When it comes to manicure, a large proportion of women prefer to use shimmery coatings in addition to conventional coatings. What fashion has prepared for us in the new season, what are the fashion trends of pearlescent manicure and design options, read on.

Pearlescent manicure cannot be called universal. If earlier it was considered an anti-trend, today its owner cannot say that she does not follow fashion. And the secret lies in the use of modern manicure products. Previously, coatings needed constant updating as they tarnished very quickly.

The use of the latest substances allows not only to show modernity and the best technique, but also to choose an option that will suit any women's bow. Modern manicure products are durable. Today, manicure can last up to 2 months on nails. Moreover, if all the rules of technology are observed, it will not need to be adjusted.

In addition, pearlescent manicure is picky about the condition of the nails. If the nail plates are poorly processed, it will enhance this anti-effect, highlight the poor condition of the cuticles and wounds, if any. Among other features, one cannot fail to note the exactingness of the mother-of-pearl material to the shape and length of the nails. He will demonstrate any discrepancy between adjacent nails quite brightly, and therefore, before applying varnish or other material, you need to achieve an identical length of nails and saw cut lines.

As for the length and roundness of the nail plates, for example, mother-of-pearl will shorten short nails even more, and flat ones - widen them. At a moderate length, it will look great, but on too large, like, say, stilettos, it will give off the brilliance of daggers. At the same time, if your nail plates are naturally elongated, and the length is small, mother-of-pearl will not spoil the look of the manicure.

Modern mother-of-pearl manicure today is fundamentally different from earlier design options. The mother-of-pearl effect is achieved in a variety of ways today. It can be not only the coatings themselves or the so-called gel varnishes, characterized by a variety of textures with a pearlescent effect, but also the technique of execution. You can even buy a special manicure powder or the so-called pearl dust.

Without unnecessary complexity, it allows you to change the texture of the most ordinary glossy varnish in a matter of seconds. Moreover, this fine-grained powder is suitable for varnish of any color. The uniqueness of the rub-in is the ability to vary the intensity of the mother-of-pearl. In addition, it can be used both on the entire area of ​​the nail, and partially, if it is intended by the design.

Rubbing in can have different effects, since it is characterized by a large range of varieties. Due to this, pearlescent manicure can be very diverse, from the familiar classics with a light spray to flakes, gradient and holography. It is a free-flowing powder, similar to the eyeshadow, which is based on polyester. Working with it consists in a set of material and rubbing it into a prepared and painted nail plate. The longer the rubbing process, the more pronounced the effect will be.

This powder is remarkable in that:

• does not rub off from water;
• does not respond to temperature changes;
• easy to apply and remove;
• lasts up to 4 weeks;
• is inexpensive;
• does not harm nails;
• has no side effects in the form of allergic reactions.

From the entire spectrum of the color palette in the new season, the best shades are considered to be soft blue and light pink. Manicure with them is considered ultra-fashionable, and in addition, it is great for creating a pearl effect, which, by the way, is now considered a trash. In addition to blue and pink tones, all pastel colors diluted with white are relevant. The best tones include peach, mint, caramel, ivory, pistachio, creamy, milk. In addition, at the peak of popularity are powdery shades, which can be given a light pearlescent coating, as well as white, which allows the mother of pearl to reveal itself in all its glory.

Mother-of-pearl manicure suits different female looks, which is proved by the bows of the models at the fashion shows. He has a place in everyday life. In addition to the fact that the mother-of-pearl coating allows you to refine your evening dress, it will harmoniously complement your everyday look. Depending on what type of material will be chosen for a manicure, as well as on the number of accents, a mother-of-pearl manicure can please even a strict dress code.

You can decorate nails with such a texture for any celebration or official event. In addition, today it is fashionable to do pearlescent manicure for a wedding. Rarely does a bride look without an iridescent pearl covering to complement a wedding dress. However, in order for mother of pearl to look appropriate in a particular image, you will have to choose the correct manicure technique so that the abundance of glitter does not turn the design into sheer bad taste.

You can combine iridescent varnish with:

• matte;
• glossy;
• acrylic sand;
• stamping;
• hand painted;
• small crystals and rhinestones.

So that the monochromatic coating, which is called a classic, does not knock out of the onion, but complements it, mother-of-pearl must be dosed. For example, if you want to make all your nails pearl, then you need to use rubbing sparingly. If this does not work, you can do with the gel polish with mother-of-pearl. There may be several options for a classic design.

• For example, you can bet on the game of textures. All nails are covered with the same gel polish, and then powder is rubbed into them, and the accent nail is showered with powder or broth.
• If you want to combine mother-of-pearl with lace, you can take the dark color of the varnish as a basis, supplement it with rubbing, and make a pattern on two or three accents and sprinkle it with acrylic sand on top.
• Mother-of-pearl in a manicure will look beautiful if the spraying is done quite lightly, and for one or two accents, choose stickers. Moreover, the theme can be very diverse, both summer and winter, autumn, spring.
• You can paint all your nails with the same color, treat two out of ten with a rub, and draw flowers on top of it and lightly sprinkle them with powder.
• A mother-of-pearl manicure with pearl dust can look beautiful and delicate if you decorate one nail on each hand with stucco flowers and insert tiny pearls into the middle.
• You can make pearl only an insert on an accent nail, for example, in the form of an elongated triangle. For this, tape and contrasting pigments are used.

In order for a mother-of-pearl manicure to successfully blend into one or another image, you need to take into account the purpose of the design, the woman's style, her age and the available wardrobe details. To say that mother-of-pearl looks the same on the nails of a young girl and a respectable lady would be a mistake. It will also be wrong to completely fill all ten fingernails with pearls, bringing the mother of pearl to a mirror shine. Instead of delicate mother-of-pearl, nails will become a part of light and music, sparkling every time the sun or an ordinary lamp hits them.

The best design for a pearlescent manicure would be a combination of techniques.

• French (both regular and inverted);
• lunar technique;
• gradient;
• broken glass;
• veils;
• powdery technique.

For rubbing in, classically painted nails, as well as French manicure and a gradient are suitable. It can be used over nail plates for broken glass and powder, but as for the veil, the nylon effect requires a matte finish. At the same time, two adjacent nails (with a rub and a veil) look super beautiful and fashionable. The rest can be painted with matte varnish to soften the perception of mother-of-pearl.

In order for a design with a mother-of-pearl coating to look not only status, but also to attract the eyes of others, you can resort to various decor techniques. For example, you can cover the accent nail with pigment, then rub in, and on top of it draw a pattern (roses, hearts, lace, monograms) and sprinkle it with powder. In this case, the rest of the nails can be painted with both glossy and matte varnish.

A mother-of-pearl pattern that occupies some part of the accent nail plate will look beautiful and unusual. For example, it can be the petals of a large flower or the wings of a butterfly, which is even more interesting and allows you to be creative in decorating your nails. You can also do with a simple vertical strip, and you can paint over it by rubbing it itself or first the nail, and draw a vertical on top of the pollen with a matte varnish and decorate it at the base of the nail with a pair of small rhinestones.

One of the more unusual pearlescent manicure ideas is logomania.It is not difficult to make it: a sticker of the logo of a certain Fashion House is glued onto a mother-of-pearl or glossy coating, and then sealed with a layer of top. However, at the same time, you should thoroughly treat the choice of varnish with an overflow, because rubbing with a smaller fraction of particles will allow you to create a more modern and expensive design than gel varnish with pearlescent sparkles.

As for other new techniques for decorating a pearlescent manicure, you can decorate it by accentuating the cuticle area. This can be done with foil, rhinestones, gel dots, drawings. Mother-of-pearl can also be used to mark the smile zone of the jacket, as well as to use it when stretching in a gradient. It will look cool if you try to create with the help of rubbing the effect of gilding or silvering the contours of a volumetric pattern on a black background. In addition, transparent drops look great on mother-of-pearl.
