Stylish manicure: new designs, combinations with clothes and examples

Our nails reflect not only how we take care of ourselves, but also our mood and even preferences. Many are wondering whether to follow the latest trends or stay true to the classics. Either way, you can stay stylish. The main thing is that the manicure fits your image.

Every year, masters in the field of nail design come up with new images and trends. Some of them have already firmly entered our life, some have remained only on the glossy pages. Let's try to make out the most versatile and stylish new items of recent times. Looking at them, you will certainly find what is closer to you.

Classic doesn't mean boring. And modern trends demonstrate this very clearly. One has only to slightly adapt the familiar design, as it will already sound completely different. We present you with stylish classic options for the design of marigolds.

• Naturalness. Beige and nude shades always look very gentle and natural. Their huge plus is that they go well with almost any outfit. Moreover, the length of the nail itself can vary as desired. They look great on both very short and long nails.

• French. There are a lot of options for this design. Therefore, do not be afraid that you will have the same manicure as your colleague. Just take this technique as a basis and dream up. You can change colors, add designs or decorate with additional decorative elements.

• Red. It seems that this manicure option will always remain relevant. If the monochromatic version seems too boring to you, then no one forbids diluting it with drawings and sparkles. Make sure it doesn't look too pretentious. This can be achieved with muted shades and a moderate amount of decor and patterns. For an accent, it will be enough to decorate only one finger, and not pile rhinestones, sparkles and stones on each of them.

• Rubbed in. Although this is a fairly new technology, manicure does not lose its classic understanding, it looks natural and elegant. Today, you can find a large amount of such a powder. With its help, you can create the effect of chameleon varnish, pearl or mirror finish. Before applying it to your nails, ask the master to demonstrate how this rub will look in the selected shade. Much depends on this.

• Lace. Feminine and graceful, it finds its place not only on dresses, but also in manicure. To create a delicate stylish look, it is better to do it in light colors. If you want to be a fatal beauty, then you can experiment with red and dark shades.

• With sequins. These sparkling particles have long been a classic in manicure. But they have not lost their modernity and relevance. With their help, you can make a luxurious festive design or just focus on one nail. They are also applicable in the creation of a jacket. Only the tip will not be white, but shiny.

• Lunar. Another novelty in nail design. It follows the natural pattern of the nail plate. In this case, the area at the base is highlighted with a light color. But this is in the classic version. For lovers of exoticism, no one forbids decorating their marigolds with more radical shades.

If you are bored with a monochromatic manicure, it's time to take a closer look at the current trends in the field of patterns and designs on nails. Do not think that they can only be on the fingers of young beauties.

• Floral motives. There are a great many design options for marigolds in this topic. It can be naive tulips, luxurious roses, and even exotic flowers of incredible shades. You can easily repeat some drawings at home, while others require some skill and preparation. You can use stickers, stamps or stencils to make your work easier.

• Funny pictures. Images of sweet desserts or ice cream in cones can tell about you as a very romantic and childishly naive nature. Of course, it will be inappropriate to look with a strict business suit, but with a light summer sundress or at a resort, you can quite afford such a design.

• Lettering and logos. They are ubiquitous on our clothes. So why not use this trend in nail design as well. Just take the image or lettering you like best as a base and transfer it to your nails. Graffiti-style inscriptions and Chinese characters also look unusual.

• Gzhel. Yes, it can be not only on the dishes. Such motifs feel great in the role of decorative finishing of marigolds. Choosing such a design, you should also carefully consider your wardrobe. There must be shades of blue or white in it. Otherwise, Gzhel will look indirectly from the whole image.

• Marble. The design, which the masters saw from nature itself, looks very unusual. If you want to decorate all the nails with them, then choose a light tone. For rich dark marble (especially with golden veins), one nail will be enough. You don't want a stylish look to turn into a total bad taste.

• Ethnic patterns. There are many options for their execution, as well as shades. If you do not want the image to be overloaded, then add such a manicure only with accessories in this style. This will be enough. And it is not at all necessary to look for a dress or suit with these motives.

• Sea style. At the first glance at such a manicure, pleasant associations with vacation, the sea and a light breeze pop up in my head. So why not give yourself such pleasure, even being in a stuffy office.

• Space. Refers to thematic designs. It can be appropriate in almost any situation, if you issue only one nail. This approach will ensure originality and modesty at the same time.

• Watercolor painting. Quite a difficult technique, but with a little practice, you can repeat it at home. Start with simple drawings and streaks.

• Volumetric drawings. They are made with acrylic or gel. The motives can be absolutely any. Flowers in this technique look especially interesting.

It is impossible to list all the possible combinations, and was it worth doing. Each representative of the fairer sex has her own favorite shades. The main thing is that the selected colors are well combined with each other.

In doing so, one of the following principles should be adhered to.

1. Adjacent colors. They are located adjacent to each other. Pay attention to the fact that they lie on the same line along the radius.
2. Monochrome combinations. If you imagine that the color wheel is pizza. Then one of its triangular piece (which is indicated by the borders) will make up a monochrome sector. Here you can play with the intensity and saturation of the color, since you will not have to worry about the compatibility of the shades.
3. Contrasting combinations. To define two contrasting shades, simply draw a straight line through the center. At the opposite ends of it, these shades will be. If you need to make a combination of three colors, then draw an equilateral triangle inside the color wheel. The vertices of this geometric figure will indicate three contrasting shades that go well with each other.

In addition to various techniques of execution and all kinds of drawings and patterns, marigolds can be decorated with unusual decor. For this, specialized stores have everything you need.

Colored monochromatic varnish is covered with special finely dispersed crumbs. The result is a textured finish. Quite a modest decor option that is suitable both for every day and for a special occasion. For greater effect, it is not covered with a top, and therefore the service life of the manicure is significantly reduced.

With the help of a special magnetic powder and a magnet itself, a certain design is created, called a "cat's eye". Its peculiarity is that on the nail there will be an effect of a deepening of color or a light strip. This technology has fallen in love with many stylish beauties. It looks most impressive on dark shades. In light colors, it looks more calm and restrained.

Don't be afraid. No one has cut such shiny splinters on the nails yet. This effect can be achieved using a special pearlescent film. It is cut into many small pieces of arbitrary shape. When applied to a nail, it seems that there are fragments of broken glass on it.

These two technologies differ only in the smoothness of the transition. In the latter, it is softer with blurred boundaries flowing from one color to another. The gradient is distinguished by more pronounced areas of color connection. It can be either a completely independent design or an excellent base for drawing and patterning.

The relevance of these shiny colored stones does not fade from year to year. After all, a girl's best friends are diamonds. And these decorative elements bear a direct resemblance to these precious stones.

The nacreous film from which these rounds are made can have different shades. This means that the camofubuki themselves can either repeat the color of the varnish, or create color accents of the desired palette.

There are several options for its execution. It can be an individual color of each marigold in one color of the rainbow. Also, let's say a vertical gradient that goes from toe to toe. If such brightness scares you, then you can limit yourself to coloring only the tips of the nails in the rainbow spectrum. Such an original jacket will not look catchy, but at the same time it will remain stylish and original.

With the advent of the new season, we change our clothes. Changes in the style of manicure and options for its decor should also undergo changes. After all, your image must be complete.

Warm knits can match the texture of your manicure. Modern masters have learned to do this too. In addition, various winter motives will be appropriate: snowflakes, frosty patterns and bullfinches. It is better to choose deep saturated tones as the main colors of manicure, and not bright and neon, like in summer.

Brightness and cheerfulness are the main leitmotifs of summer manicure. Butterflies on nails and bright flowers are acceptable here. Lightness and ease will be emphasized by weightless fabrics with matching prints.

At the moments when nature comes to life, and the sun begins to bake, you want bright colors. Delicate stains in blue, pink and green tones will come in handy.

Choose muted tones. Look at the colors of nature. They are not so bright anymore. Or you can be like golden foliage and add sparkles to the nails. Heavy warm fabrics will go well with both the first and second options.

Manicure with kamifubuki is at the peak of its popularity today. Such small sun bunnies can decorate any manicure.

A manicure with a rub in gives a noble shine. At the same time, it can hardly be called pretentious and excessive.

Watercolor painting on nails is done with wet varnish. It takes some skill, but the results are worth the training.
