How to beautifully decorate a manicure with triangles?

Manicure with triangles is one of the ten best nail art designs today. This design option seems minimalistic, but it is quite capable of decorating any female image, regardless of her age and style of clothing.

The triangle that adorns the nails of the hands not only seems to be a feminine design - with its simplicity, it makes the manicure extremely effective. Today, the shape of a geometric figure can be varied, ranging from low equilateral and ending with an elongated base at the cuticle zone and apex at the edge of the nail plate. Typically, this type of geometric design is referred to as minimalistic design. Therefore, today it is considered the best way to decorate nails, because the look of fashion is directed towards minimalism.

The triangle design can be used as a basis for different manicure techniques. For example, in this way you can beat the jacket. Jeff Pink, who created the traditional French manicure, would probably be very surprised today, because if earlier only the regrown part of the nail was indicated by contrast, then due to triangles today you can designate a smile in completely different ways, varying its height and width. Today the masters already have the term "triangular jacket".

In addition to the jacket, you can use triangles in the moon manicure and gradient. Wells created by means of geometric shapes can be very diverse: single, double, and so on. Considering the negative space technique popular today, they may not have pigment at all. Sometimes triangles are drawn over semicircular holes.The gradient can be done not only with one large figure - due to the stencils, you can decorate the accent of the manicure with several triangles.

The triangular design is suitable for different nail shapes. An experienced master will be able to refine nail plates of different lengths and different shapes of the edge cut with this design. The only thing that can be a certain limitation is the excessively long length and sharpness of the nails, characteristic of the well-known stylets. On such nails, triangles will look somewhat aggressive. In addition, they will visually lengthen the already great length.

Narrow and tall triangles can visually enhance short nails, so this design will be one of the best for them. However, the design should be deliberate, because instead of visual lengthening, you can shorten the nails. It is desirable to place such figures at the base of the nail plates. It is undesirable to make a jacket of triangles on short nails, since this can accentuate the insufficient length and visually expand the plate itself.

On the oval shape, you can make absolutely any triangular designs, ranging from simple triangles at the base to a varied pattern of small triangles. This is a great base for a French jacket that you can create using two right-angled triangles, drawing one on top of the other with a slight offset. Alternatively, you can use French manicure templates and decorate oval nails with a white arc with an open triangle in its center.

Triangular geometric shapes look great on straight, round and almond-shaped nails. For each of them, you can choose your own design options that will refine the female image. For example, you can visually add elegance to your fingers by drawing a small triangle at the base of the nail and drawing a thin straight line from its top to the edge. Flat nail plates can be made more attractive by drawing an elongated triangle and complementing it with gold or silver stripes on the sides.

Various types of coatings can be used for triangle designs. Given the rich list of modern materials, it is better to choose hybrid varnishes that combine the qualities of gel and varnish at the same time. They do not smell, they stay on the nails for a long time, they always look fresh and often do not need to be adjusted within two weeks.

For the base and the triangles themselves, you can use matte and glossy gel polishes with good pigmentation. In addition, you can draw geometric shapes with special manicure gel paints. They are easy to use, dry, like hybrid varnishes, in a special lamp and stay on nails for just as long. In addition, you can decorate the triangles with pearlescent, magnetic and neon varnishes.

Triangle designs are done in many different ways today. Masters with extensive experience behind them can draw triangles without any auxiliary elements. However, if your design requires identical shapes, you can resort to special disposable templates or stripes. They are glued to the nails, then the desired part is filled with the color chosen for the design and immediately removed and then the nail is dried.

You can use foil tape of different widths and colors to create the desired pattern. It is inexpensive, while it can be used as a design aid, as well as a permanent decorative element. This is not to say that it is easy to work with it, since it is far from always being removed perfectly - you have to correct the drawing, in some places to trim the lines.

However, the best way to create a more professional drawing is by using auxiliary templates.This is especially important when performing identical triangles in a triangular jacket and moon manicure. If the template does not fit the intended design, it remains to use stripes or paint on the shapes by hand.

The best triangle tones used by experienced craftsmen for design today are gold, silver, black, white and dark red. The basis of a manicure can be very diverse. At the same time, it is important that the geometric design stands out from the general background and does not merge with it into a single spot. For this, you can use various contour strokes (for example, gold or silver).

The actual background color today is:

• black or white;
• marsal or coral;
• mint or turquoise;
• pearl blue or pearl pink;
• combination of blue and pink;
• pistachio or khaki;
• purple or lilac;
• dark blue or emerald.

Having got used to the obligatory decoration of a manicure, sometimes a laconic accent seems to us not enough. It seems that a simple solution is not able to distinguish a woman from the crowd. However, in order for the design to acquire a certain status, it is necessary to know the mistakes and basic rules that guide the professionals in the field of "nail art". For example, errors include:

• making the same pattern on all ten fingernails;
• using varnish or helium paint with poor pigmentation;
• combining geometric design with folklore themes;
• jagged lines or contours of geometric shapes;
• triangles of different shapes on several accents;
• direction of the drawing in one direction on both hands;
• the use of more than four contrasting colors in the design;
• alternating print across the nail.

In addition, an important nuance must be taken into account: visually, the triangles, if there are more than one of them in the design, must have the same height. This can complicate the very shape of the nails, since, for example, the little finger and middle finger almost always look different. In order not to suffer with leveling the height of the figure, it is better to design on one nail. For example, today it is considered the ideal design with solid nails and an emphasis on the ring finger. So there is no need to equate anything, and even more so to limit yourself in choosing the shape of the triangle.

They will look much better in a gold version, located on a black background. You can refine the design by means of a matte lacquer of the main background or a top with a matte effect. When dried in a lamp, the coating changes its gloss to a noble velvety type of texture in a matter of seconds.

Since it is problematic to do this with a regular brush from a bottle, you need to use a thin brush for hand painting. She sums up the background when painting and preparing for the design, and then paint on the corners of the triangles.

Contrast rule applied to different color combinations. Indeed, light shapes look better on a dark background, but it all depends on the location and shape of the element itself. For example, if it is a jacket, it can be either light with a dark base, or dark, and even gradient. When the triangle is located at the base of the nail and it has an elongated narrow shape, it is better to choose a light color for it.
