Bright and original manicure design ideas with lemons

With the onset of autumn, many are worried about seasonal depression, as well as a decrease in the protective properties of the body and, as a result, colds. To protect your immune system, you need to eat citrus fruits more often, which are rich in vitamins. And in order to have a great mood at any time of the year, we suggest making an original manicure with juicy and bright lemons.

An amazing fact is that "citrus" manicure was invented a very long time ago, and more specifically, not earlier than in the second millennium BC in Ancient Egypt. The yellow nail designs fit perfectly into the flavor of this ancient state. The yellow color of the nails of the pharaohs was associated with the sun god Ra, whom they worshiped.

However, everything repeats itself in the world. The trendsetters after many thousands of years decided to diversify the manicure, and proposed a new pattern on the girls' nail plate in the form of ripe lemon slices, and also depicted a whole fruit on the nails.

You don't need to have an artistic flair to use the sun fruit as your nail art. You need to have good taste, bold imagination, as well as patience in order to practice repeatedly, to draw sour, but very beautiful yellow fruits.

There are many options and styles for depicting lemons on your nails. But without exception, all nail service masters adhere to the basic rule: lemon on the nails should be depicted in yellow and light green (when it comes to lime) color.And so, perhaps, it all depends on the wishes of the client in the beauty salon and on the imagination and technical capabilities of the master, who decided to bring lemons on nails to life.

You can depict citrus in any way. Both individual slices and the whole fruit look very beautiful on the nails. The range of compositions is wide: from the image of lemon slices on the wells of nails to decorating the tips of the plate with them. Lemons look much more spectacular on one or two nails.

Lemons are originally combined with kiwi, watermelons, as well as with other fruits and berries. At the same time, you can add freshness and juiciness to the fruit with the help of acrylic dew. You can complement the creation with a variety of sparkles and rhinestones. I would like to note that manicure with "sourness" is very harmoniously combined with almost any outfit, and perfectly suits every occasion of life.

A lime manicure is a truly intriguing and trendy version of the citrus image on the nail plate. Equally popular is the design of nails both on a bright background and in the form of a jacket.

Psychologists have proven that green color has a very beneficial effect on the human psyche, therefore a manicure with a lime image is the way of pacification that is necessary for women living in huge metropolitan areas.

Sunny shades will help to cope with bad mood and well-being when it is cold and rainy autumn outside the window. Introducing the perfect manicure colors for yellow lemons:

• blue;
• turquoise;
• green;
• Red,
• pink;
• black;
• White;
• Gray;
• Orange;

• silver.

This list is not exhaustive because lemon nail art backgrounds can be found in warm, cool, or neutral shades. Therefore, this manicure can be called truly universal.

The lemon manicure presented for review looks advantageous on both short and long nails due to the mass of advantages. Let's try the following nail designs for different nail lengths.

So, if a representative of the fair sex has short nails, then it is necessary to try to exclude a huge number of details that will look ridiculous in such a small space for creativity. It is best to paint miniature lemons on one or two nails, which will give the woman of fashion a feminine and delicate look.

It is best to choose a transparent or lemon background for manicure with citrus on short nails. Many, not understanding the objectivity and correctness of the decision made by the master in choosing the basis of a manicure of just such colors, will consider them boring, but in vain, since such a manicure will visually increase the nail plate.

We list the following design options for short nails:

• a jacket with lemon slices on the holes of the nails or on their tips;
• composition of slices or whole fruits with a branch and leaves on a transparent background;
• design of one or more nails with the image of a slice of lemon with drops of juice on a transparent background.

Beautiful ladies with long nails still have a number of advantages over those with short nails. They are ready to depict entire works of art on the theme of "Bunches of lemons in the garden". That is why on elongated nails you can embody the most daring ideas on the lemon theme, and not limit yourself in anything.

A jacket with fragments of various colors and geometric shapes will look perfect on long nails, and other fruits and berries will perfectly fit into the manicure. This design is sure to add a joyful and sunny touch at any time of the year.

A jacket with a thick strip at the tips in lilac, light green or creamy strawberry color looks amazing on long nails.In combination with yellow, it will be possible to achieve a gentle contrast, and the drawings of lemons fit very harmoniously into such a design.

To make lemon nail manicure at home, you need to have patience, time, the necessary manicure tools, and also prepare a visual drawing with the fruit of lemons or a photograph.

Let's dwell on the stages of creating a nail design at home.

• It is necessary to carefully prepare the nail plate for coating with gel polish. To do this, you need to get rid of the cuticle, give the desired shape to the nails, and also remove the oily sheen from them.
• Apply a base coat of the desired color.
• Use yellow varnish to paint over the nail hole.
• Draw a narrow white strip along the edge of the hole.
• For a clearer outline, mix yellow or orange tones with the white.
• The next step is to paint the veins of the lemon slices.
• The final action is covering the manicure with a transparent fixing varnish and drying in a special lamp.

Oddly enough, the combination of yellow and muted beige looks very impressive, with which other bright shades do not go in comparison. One of these options for the execution of manicure with "sour fruit" is the ombre style. Recently, the beautiful half of humanity has been actively experimenting with incompatible tones. For example, an interesting transition from a vigorous lemon color to a creamy pink color is quite popular.

Lovers of French manicure really like the jacket in combination with yellow. It can be used as a background color or as an additional one. There is another unusual option - a yellow line at the base of the nail plate along the cuticle.

In modern nail salons, beauties are offered to do a color-blocking manicure. In this design, nails are connected, but at the same time they do not intertwine and do not connect several shades of varnish. It is permissible to combine solar varnish in the proposed manicure both with bright contrasting colors and with shades from the same color range.

The fair sex is completely delighted with the bright and sunny manicure depicting a sour fruit, but bringing a cheerful mood to gloomy autumn days. Ladies say that such a manicure perfectly fits both the image of a business and strict woman in an office suit, and more frivolous outfits of cute seducers.

Many of the women note that with a manicure, on which yellow citrus flaunts, they feel much calmer and more confident, and they are not afraid of the autumn blues.
