Manicure in blue tones: design features and fashion ideas

The most airy and refreshing manicure is considered to be in blue tones. The nail design in the colors of the sky and the ocean is relevant in any season, as it looks delicate and sophisticated. In addition, such a manicure is suitable for almost all images and styles of clothing: it can be worn with both a light dress and jeans.

Soft blue and heavenly tones are most often chosen for a casual "nail art". Thanks to such ethereal shades, you can create a beautiful design that will look spectacular not only on long almond nails, but also on short ones with a square shape. Thanks to the artistic decor, the blue tones allow the girl's creativity to be emphasized in an original way.

Today, several shades of blue are very popular.

• Turquoise. It is a rich combination that combines a palette of blue and green colors. Turquoise is a summer tone, therefore, as a rule, it is chosen for decorating nails by those beauties who plan to go on vacation at sea, as it looks great against the background of sea waves.

• Blue-blue. Associated with peace of mind and harmony. Matches perfectly with all colors of the palette.

• Blue-gray. It is a neutral shade that works well for autumn manicure. It can be mixed with different light and contrasting tones to give your manicure a special look.

To get an unusual nail design, masters prefer to combine blue with other shades of the color scheme. Compositions made in pink and blue colors are considered an excellent choice.They are in great demand in spring and summer, they look gorgeous in everyday and evening looks. You can also dilute the "heavenly" manicure with pink paints and autumn: they will help to hide the atmosphere of dullness caused by cloudy days and cold weather. It is recommended to decorate delicate designs with graphic patterns and patterns in the form of flowers.

The combination of airy color with white is also a safe option. This "nail art" is universal, as it can be used at any time of the year. At the same time, in winter, images of animals and snowflakes should prevail in the decor, in the spring - drawings in the form of birds, feathers and openwork ornaments, in summer it is recommended to decorate marigolds with a marine theme, giving preference to compositions in the form of marine life, anchors and ships.

For a casual look, mixing a blue shade with beige is considered good. The result is a discreet and simple manicure that will emphasize the elegance and sophistication of the girl. For bright personalities, it is necessary to choose a duet of contrasting shades. So, for example, cornflower blue and black colors will favorably emphasize a chic outfit. This combination of palette can be diluted with smooth lines and graphics.

Modern versions of "nail art" amaze with their huge choice, therefore, in addition to painting, it is recommended to decorate blue manicure with other decorative elements. Special attention should be paid to the design presented by the ombre and jacket. Of course, in this design it will be difficult to call the jacket classic, but it will look elegant and gentle. To create a stylish ombre, you need to use a white and pink background. If you choose purple and yellow, you get a "color explosion", which is well suited for an evening look.

No less interesting nail design is a moon manicure with a bluish jacket. In this case, transparent holes can be made in the shape of hearts or a crescent. This is a practical type of manicure in which there are no clear boundaries, so even after the growth of the nail plate, the design will not lose its attractiveness.

The most popular among fashionistas is a blue manicure with a rub. Thanks to the correct play with shades, you can create a real "space effect" with unusual overflows. The pearl rub will gently envelop the nails in a silky or satin veil, the iridescent one will fill the design with a double overflow and give it mystery, and the mirror chrome pigment will highlight the main details of the decor.

Heavenly shades will become even more light and airy if you use a matte tone for the coating. To emphasize the beauty of the nails with brilliant contrast, the masters recommend combining a glossy finish and a mirror rub in a manicure. In addition, rhinestones, foil and sequins can be used as an additional decoration, which will look amazing on a matte blue background.

Recently, brilliant decor has been in fashion, for many it is associated with a bright image and a solemn mood, but it is worth noting that such a performance in combination with blue and pastel tones is also suitable for everyday life, giving the girl a certain piquancy. The main thing is not to overdo it in the design with the amount of sparkles and rhinestones, choosing original ways of laying them out.

On a blue base, decor from pieces of foil with various colors also looks great. An interesting solution is such a manicure with gold and silver foil, thanks to which the nails acquire chic and luxury. Many craftsmen are not afraid of experiments and create a blue design using not a varnish coating, but a metallized foil of a heavenly color.

As for sequins, sequins of various sizes and shapes have been in fashion lately; they are considered the main decor in blue manicure. Shiny silver elements beautifully emphasize the delicate tone of the coating.Compositions with gold and pink sparkles are no less interesting. They can be used to sprinkle the marigold in the form of both a pattern and stripes.

Many women are often faced with a problem in choosing a style of manicure, since the overall image largely depends on it. Today there is a chic selection of design ideas with which you can adequately decorate your nails. Especially popular this season is just a manicure using a blue palette, which can be decorated using various colors and decorative elements.

• With gold and silver. For such a design, it is advisable to choose a light background, and carry out the decor in rich shades. Silver and golden foil patterns look interesting: they are laid out on top of a blue base. In addition, the decor can be made in the form of the moon and "smiles", emphasizing them with a slight gloss. Graphic designs made of foil will also be a striking performance. If girls like sequins, then it is recommended to replace the foil with golden or silvery sequins, spreading them on the free edge of the nail.

• Matte texture. It is considered a real trend this season and is in great demand not only in manicure, but also in makeup. The matte finish looks elegant and austere at the same time. It requires perfect nail shapes. A similar design is created both with the help of a special varnish-gel, which, after drying, loses its shine effect, and with the use of velvet spraying in the form of fine sand. Since the matte coating is devoid of color overflow and shine, it is only suitable for well-groomed and healthy nails: the slightest defects and irregularities on the nail plate can be noticeable and spoil the whole effect of the manicure.

• A combination of blue with blue, yellow, white and pink colors. Such combinations have brightness and tenderness. Choosing blue and yellow colors for manicure, you can get an unusual and expressive image. To emphasize the romance of the young beauty, it is recommended to mix the heavenly shade with pink. In this design, you can paint all the nails by dividing the palette in the middle with a vertical strip, or through one.

• With drawing. The application of original images on a blue background is considered a real work of art, which requires certain skills from the master. Most often, simple small patterns are chosen for such a design; more detailed and complex pictures can also be drawn. In this case, the blue background is used both matte and glossy. In order not to overload the manicure with painting, it is necessary to decorate one or two nails, and leave the rest "clean".
