Red and white manicure: features and modern design ideas

Which manicure to choose - every woman decides for herself. Whether it will be a neat jacket, acceptable for any dress code, or a crazy design with "dragon scales", rubs, rhinestones and sparkles - it all depends on personal preference. Of course, the red color of the varnish is something that never goes out of fashion, is always relevant and attractive. However, it is not necessary to be limited only to this color on the nails. It can be combined with other shades, and today we will talk about such a combination as a red and white manicure.

The combination of red and white colors on the nails is very bright, contrasting and noticeable. Many people do such a manicure in spring or summer, when the time comes for outfits of all colors of the rainbow, nature itself blooms, and you want as many pure tones as possible. However, no one forbids wearing red and white nails at any other time of the year, if there is a desire.

The first thing that comes to mind when the words "red and white manicure" are, of course, hearts. This design is extremely popular for Valentine's Day - large and small red hearts on a white background. You can draw or stick hearts on all your nails, or you can select a few, making the rest white or red.

Lunar manicure in these colors is also very interesting: the white hole and scarlet varnish look original, especially if you make a "shadow" color on several nails, swapping the shades of the hole and the main coating. You can also use a combination of moon manicure with a jacket, highlighting two "holes" on each nail.Snow-white holes on scarlet nails can look minimalist and at the same time original, giving additional chic to their owner.

A "jacket" with a red "smile" and a snow-white nail will look very original. Monograms are no less pretty, no matter which of the two tones is the main one. The monogram on the matte finish looks very fresh and fashionable. You can do a white monogram painting in the French style on a red jacket.

Geometry on the nails, which was very fashionable last summer and this fall, can also be maintained in the specified colors. Strokes can be either subtle, thin, or wide, clearly defined.

The gradient fashionable last season (or, as it is often called, ombre) does not lose its relevance now, but it is customary to combine it with other techniques. For example, two nails on the hand are accentuated with a gradient, the rest are left monophonic. On top of the gradient, you can put a matting coating, then the overall look will become even more original. In addition, a strip of sparkles or a combination of rhinestones can be applied to a nail decorated using the ombre technique, making it a "king-nail".

In 2019, long nails are triumphantly returning to nail fashion. For some, this news is good, for others it is not very good, since nails in the form of a pike, stiletto or pointe shoes are not very comfortable in everyday life. However, the fact that long nails are at the forefront of fashion does not mean that short ones have left it.

There is one more good news for nail art lovers. - everything is still fashionable: kamifubuki, "dragon scales", geometry, monograms, as well as a combination of all this splendor. Any design with rhinestones makes the hands more visible, enhances the effect of the patterns and patterns used. The "cat's eye" so popular for several years is no longer used solo, it is fashionable to use it as a basis for other types of design.

Another interesting trend in nail fashion is minimalism. This does not mean that the complete absence of manicure and varnish becomes relevant. The new minimalism is, for example, a geometric pattern on a “bare” nail, on which only a transparent coating is applied. In addition, the most "advanced" nail bloggers suggest trying on manicures in which, for example, only the nail hole or part of it is painted over. If the coating is combined with the general style of a person's clothing, it can look very fashionable and original.

"Marble" manicure has recently become fashionable and is still very popular., especially if it is well executed. The marble pattern is applied to several nails, while others are left solid, or other coating techniques are used.

In the presence of any coating of nails (and even in its complete absence), hands should be well-groomed - and this is the main trend. Bitten nails, burrs, peeling, delamination of nail plates are unacceptable - in our age of high technologies, hands can and should be taken care of.

In winter, a manicure looks very beautiful, where part of the nails are covered with scarlet glossy varnish, and on the rest there is a drawing in the form of mountain ash twigs powdered with snow. As a rule, the most fashionable designs combine several techniques, therefore, to give originality, they use rhinestones, a gradient, and a convex pattern.For more "elegance", you can use stripes or interspersed with "gold", then your hands will be truly shiny. Rowan berries can not be painted, but laid out from large rhinestones of the corresponding color.

Another "New Year" design is the Santa Claus hat. If you don't feel the spirit of Christmas, you can bring it closer by applying themed designs to your nails. And, of course, white snowflakes, which no winter design can do without. Against a scarlet background, they look especially festive, and if you decorate them with a generous portion of silver, you won't want to remove such a coating for a very long time.

In summer, for such a juicy combination, real expanse - you can draw cherries, strawberries, and even watermelon slices. In such manicures, the third color is often involved - green.

Not so long ago, a matte coating for nail plates came into vogue. However, using it solo, for all 10 fingers, makes the manicure boring and expressionless. But the combination of several matte nails with a design or rubbing on others draws attention to the hands and makes them one of the key components of the image.
