We decorate a beautiful red moon manicure

Every year fashion surprises us with new ideas and unusual solutions. One of them in the outgoing season was the red moon manicure - a combination of classics and the latest trends in the fashion industry.

Red is a classic in the fashion world. It is actively introduced into wardrobe, accessories, and makeup. Manicure was no exception. In this color, nails can look aggressive, romantic and even suit a business style - a truly versatile solution with many uses. Over time, a simple red coating began to become obsolete, then there were ways to diversify it. Among them are the following:

• dullness;
• rhinestones;
• patterns;
• contrasting stripes;
• french.

However, the version of red manicure with white holes became really new and interesting - a spectacular combination of two basic colors. If you carefully examine your nails, you can see a kind of "hole" at the line of their growth - a semicircular area that differs from the rest of the nail in color, it is usually lighter. Designers, inspired by natural beauty and naturalness, decided to introduce this element into manicure, repeating the image of a natural nail.

Moon manicure is not a new trend in the fashion world. It appeared in the 1920s. As usual, each innovation is associated with a certain historical period and changes in the world as a whole. Until that time, women everywhere wore gloves, which was considered a sign of aristocracy. As you know, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the world literally turned upside down, and people from the working class enjoyed special honor.

Nowadays, he is back in fashion again in 2010 at the Dior fashion house. Then the moon manicure began to be called in honor of the famous brand, and also simply - Hollywood, since it immediately fell in love with all foreign movie stars and glossy covers.

Red requires a special attitude and attention, because a design that includes this color must be done with taste. It is worth remembering some unspoken rules for handling this shade.

• It is necessary to choose the right length of nails, because the bright red color on long nails looks defiant. If you like the length, it is better to tone down the shade of red, or make it darker.
• Red manicure is suitable for any nail shape and finger length. However, it is very important to keep the cuticle clean and moisturized, as the red color draws a lot of attention to the nail.
• It is worthwhile to carefully approach the choice of a shade according to its compatibility with skin color. Tanned, warm shades look good with bright, "burnt out" shades of red: scarlet, strawberry, while for light skin it is better to choose cold shades: fuchsia, cherry and wine.

• Avoid wearing red nails and jewelry at the same time, as your hands will look overwhelmed. The red nail design itself is quite striking and will stand out favorably.
• Red pigment can bite into nails, so it is better to apply a base under the varnish before painting. This way you can avoid yellow spots on the nail plate.
• You shouldn't combine red manicure with clothes of the same color. Firstly, the monochrome image has long gone out of fashion, and secondly, the red manicure will stand out well against the background of clothing in basic colors, classic dresses and suits.

For a red manicure with white holes, you need to follow a series of consecutive steps.

• Remove the cuticle, moisturize it. Decorate and polish the nail.
• Apply a base coat. This will help the coating last longer and reduce the risk of nail damage.
• Using a stencil, separate the area of ​​the hole, apply varnish to the color area, then to the hole. Secure with topcoat.
• Apply a pattern or other decorative elements such as rhinestones.

There are many ways to design a moon manicure in an original way. From the latest trends, several of the most popular can be distinguished.

• Transparent wells. In this type of design, any primary color is chosen, while the hole remains transparent and natural. To do this, first, a transparent varnish is applied in several layers, then the required area is closed using a stencil, and the remaining nail is covered with color. This option looks original and is suitable for those girls who quickly grow nails.

• Geometry. The holes on the nail can be made not only in the shape of a semicircle, but also to sharpen its end with a triangle. This pattern is often continued along the entire length of the nail. In this case, it is better to make the shape of the manicure square or pointed. Often, the shape of the hole is made zigzag or wavy. Any nail shape is suitable for such methods.
• Framing the hole. In this version, the border of the hole and the main length is separated by a clear line. Basically, black is chosen for her in combination with basic shades. The option is also fashionable with a transparent line for highlighting the hole in contrast to the rest of the design. However, you can choose any other line color depending on the general mood of the manicure.

• Lace. It is better not to use this technique on all fingers, but to focus on one of the nails. To do this, a lace frill is drawn along the edge of the hole.Lace looks very beautiful on a red manicure in white and black.
• Sequins. Often the lunar line is covered with sparkles, combining them with neutral colors of the main length. They also work with rhinestones, covering the entire space of the hole with them. You need to be careful with this kind of decor, as it is easy to overdo it.

• White holes. This option will be combined with any other color and is universal. Black, red and beige basecoats are often found.
• Gradient. This technique looks appropriate if the hole is white or transparent. In this case, the edge of the hole is framed with color and a smooth transition is made with a seemingly crumbling ombre effect. If you include shades of pink here, you can create the illusion of a flower petal color.

• Flower form. On one of the nails, you can make a hole in the form of any flower you like: chamomile, rose or chrysanthemum.
• Texture games. In this technique, matte and glossy surfaces are combined, changing their location depending on desire.

• Gold and silver. Often, the hole is covered with gold or silver varnish, as well as sparkles of these shades. Such a manicure is suitable for special occasions in combination with bright colors and for everyday wear - with beige, white and black colors.
