Where to begin?
The great Madame Chanel preferred a manicure of an exceptionally bright red color, thus emphasizing her individuality, stepping in the development of fashion by leaps and bounds, and remaining to this day a style icon. Fans of this brand should definitely know the canons of Chanel-style manicure.
- To perform such a manicure, it is recommended to use varnishes produced by this brand. In addition to a wide color palette, this series provides excellent nail care without damaging the nail plate, which is often the case with varnishes sold in mass markets. It is worth noting the high-quality composition of this series, and the unique formula that contains phytocorals. This component improves the condition of the nail plate due to the action of bioceramides, saturating the nail with calcium-containing elements.

- Speaking about the composition of varnishes, one cannot fail to note the resins extracted from cotton fibers, which contribute to the durability of the coating.The designers did not forget about the aesthetic preferences of the fans of the Chanel brand: the bottles of the updated shape are very ergonomic, the brush is extremely convenient and allows you to cover the entire surface of the nail plate in just a couple of movements.
- In addition to varnish, it is recommended to purchase a special base and fixer from the same brand. This recommendation is given in connection with the fact that the manufacturer gives a guarantee for the long-term quality of wearing varnishes; in addition, attention is focused on the high quality of products.
- Manicure is performed as follows: first, the base is applied, then the varnish, if necessary in two layers, if you need the most resistant coating, everything is fixed with a fixer. Manufacturers assure that the varnish lasts up to six days, which is confirmed by lovers of cosmetics of this brand.

Features of manicure
Restrained, refined, elegant, appropriate in any case - we are, of course, talking about the Chanel style. Speaking of manicure, masters prefer execution in black and white colors, and the image of that famous handbag is popular as a decor. Another option for jewelry can be golden sequins or coating with such a varnish interspersed with golden particles of one nail, which will make the image much more original.
When performing a Chanel-style manicure, basic shades are used - black, pink, silver or gold, white. Most often, the Chanel brand name or the geometric patterns used by this brand are used.
White is also replaced with pearl and shades of pink so that the manicure stays consistent with a particular style and does not look ordinary.

Five main differences between nails
Black and white design execution
When only this style began to come into fashion, it was performed only in a similar classic version. Despite the fact that many consider this combination to be quite strict, it is impossible to find a single specialist in the fashion industry who would find it ugly and devoid of sophistication.
Nail art today gravitates towards freedom and experimentation, so Chanel-style manicure is found in completely unexpected color. Black and white combination is still considered traditional.

Logo
The world famous symbol is used as the main element of manicure. The Chanel house logo is represented by two intertwined C letters, which have become the embodiment of classics and elegance. The logo is often applied to the ring finger.
Often, symbols are depicted on each nail plate, which slightly contradicts the classic canons of such a manicure, but nevertheless also looks stylish.

Iconic handbag
The same Chanel handbag with which Coco once conquered the world is popular to this day. The nail design is made in the form of a quilted surface of a handbag.

Shades of gold
To make the black and white combination look more elegant, glitter is used when performing a Chanel-style manicure. The plate is covered with a golden sheen or a logo is depicted.

Refinement and restraint
You don't have to try to depict all the elements at once. It should be borne in mind that a woman in the Chanel style is perfect down to the smallest detail, a flashy motley manicure will be absolutely inappropriate here.
The image implies perfection and a minimum of details.

How to do it yourself?
To make a Chanel style nail design, you need to prepare three shades of varnish - golden and classic shades such as black and white. You cannot do without a thin brush, with the help of which the drawing and, of course, the finishing coat will be applied.
- The first step is preparation. Hand baths, for example, with essential oils. Chanel-style manicure implies not only perfect nails, but also well-groomed hands in general.
- After finishing with the preparation, you need to apply the base product to your nails.

- After letting the product dry, we apply white color, which plays the role of a colored base here.The base is applied in one or two layers, depending on the pigmentation and the quality of the varnish.
- After thoroughly drying, black varnish is applied next to half of each nail. Only the ring fingers are colored two-thirds. If necessary, the varnish is also applied in a couple of layers, then dried.
- With a thin brush or a special varnish designed for painting, draw a mesh that imitates a bag.

- Unnamed fingers are decorated with the Chanel logo, the logo is painted with golden lacquer.
- At the penultimate stage, a thin vertical line is drawn between black and white colors.
- The manicure ends with the use of a "finish" - a transparent coating responsible for durability.
