Fashion trends and ideas of red manicure

Red manicure doesn't go out of style as it is a classic. It first became popular in the 60s of the last century. Today, many techniques and options for its execution have appeared, among which every woman will choose something for herself.

Some of the most popular shades of red are scarlet, moraine, solferino, and scarlet. They all sound complicated, but they look amazing.

Coral and ruby ​​do not go out of fashion, they are used both in a monotonous version and in combination with other colors. Sangria and thiacin well emphasize the ideal shape of the nail plate; they can be diluted with other tones of red when designing, for example, a gradient. But carrot should be chosen with caution, since a woman using it in a manicure must be sure that her hands are well-groomed. This color is more suitable for young girls, as it emphasizes age-related skin changes.

The richness of red shades can hardly be overestimated, such a diverse palette allows you to make a manicure special, gives a rich soil for imagination. All colors look good in both glossy and matte versions.

A good red manicure with varnish can be done at home on your own, it is enough to study in more detail one of the techniques for its implementation. They are all easy to learn and offer many decorative options.

The classic assumes the use of one tone. Before applying varnish, you need to prepare your hands. Remove the old coating, tidy up the cuticle. Before that, you can steam your nails a little, make a pleasant bath.

If the nail plate is too long, you can trim the nails with special scissors. You should not do this with a file, as in this case the nails are injured. Only the edges are filed, give them the desired shape and always act in the same direction.

With a classic manicure, and any other, it is worth using a fine-grained file. A tool with large abrasive elements is used for extended nails, because this material is more dense than natural nails. It is better not to buy metal tools, but to choose a file with a cardboard or glass surface.

The cuticle is removed only when well softened. For this, there are special products on sale that allow less trauma to the skin.

Only after careful preparation can you start applying the varnish. It is not so easy to get an even saturated color, it is better to cover the nail with a colorless base for the first time and wait until it dries completely. You may need several layers of the product, it all depends on the tone chosen by the girl. Each new layer should dry completely.

When applying, you will have to step back from the cuticle and the edge of the nails so as not to stain the skin. It will not be easy to remove inaccuracies without catching the nail, because the red varnish does not wear off so easily and leaves a pinkish tint on the skin. You can cover it with a special additional base to speed up the drying process.

If we talk about the advantage of the classic version, then any girl can do such a manicure. Of course, it can seem very boring, then you should use rhinestones or sparkles. As a rule, these are glossy elements. Creating a matte effect is a completely different technique.

After its appearance, the matte design immediately fell in love with fashionistas and did not lose its positions in the new season. To get this effect, you will need to additionally purchase a special topcoat, which is applied both to the entire nail and to a selected part of it.

To get a flawless manicure, you must:

• Choose the darkest shade of red, such as cherry or brick;
• choose a simple pattern as a pattern, which will be performed in achromatic color.

Before using the veil technique, you need to create the perfect shape, choose the right length, remove cuticles and burrs.

An uneven veil looks great when it is applied not to all nails, but only to a few. Lace decoration gives rich ground for a flight of imagination, but it is important to use its possibilities correctly. You can use the classic combination of red and black, as these two contrasting colors emphasize each other amazingly.

A lace manicure can be a good addition to any look, but most girls think that creating such a decorative effect on their own is not easy. In fact, there is no need to be a professional artist and be able to use a brush. Today there is a huge amount of modern materials for working with this technique.

Stamping is considered one of the simplest options for how you can arrange a lace manicure.This option could be mastered by millions of women around the world, and in stores you can easily purchase a simple mesh, flowers and other ornaments. The only drawback can be considered the cost, since even the simplest set will cost a thousand rubles.

If you have experience, you can use gel or acrylic paint to create a veil effect, but this is not so easy to do. For this, special brushes are sold in stores, you can also take a toothpick or even a gel pen. In this case, there can be no question of the perfection of the pattern, since it is difficult to repeat exactly the pattern on each nail. On the other hand, each image is unique in its own way.

You can use a transfer foil, however, you need to learn how to work with it so that the drawings fit well on the nail. This technique has one drawback - not every varnish can be used. It is necessary that it dries quickly and does not have additional elements in the form of sparkles or confetti. Most often, craftsmen use a special adhesive base on which the drawing fits well.

Not every girl understands what this technique is, but in fact it is very simple. Its essence is that unpainted areas remain on the nail, for example, French manicure, but only the tip of the nail plate is painted over. This also includes the lunar design.

This design option is ideal for girls who prefer minimalism and moderation in everything. If everything is done correctly, you will get an original and unusual design. There are several ways how to do such a manicure yourself at home.

In the first case, you can use a thin brush and a piece of foil. Gel polish is dripped onto the material, collected with a tool and a line is drawn in the middle of the nail. Layer by layer, the area is painted over better and better, but each time the material must be dried in a lamp.

You can take a flat brush and cover most of the nail plate. Then take a clean brush, moisten it in nail polish remover and gently remove the excess. The first layer is also dried and then a new one is applied.

If there are no brushes, you can take scotch tape and stick it on both sides of the nail, leaving free space in the middle. This place will be painted over with gel polish or simple varnish. The tapes are removed only after the second or third layer. The edges are smooth without any extra effort.

The manicure with thermofoil turns out to be very beautiful. On already prepared nails, you need to apply a base coat of varnish. Precisely because the decor is formed through the use of thermal film, there should be no defects and irregularities on the nail plate. The base is applied not in one, but in two layers to achieve an even shade. The sticky layer can be removed with a special degreaser.

Until the middle, one of the parts is covered with the previously described method, glued to the degreased surface of the thermofilm. In order for the drawing to lie evenly, the piece of material should be slightly larger in size than the length and width of the nail. Before use, the sticker is slightly warmed up, you can use a lamp for this. The film is stretched, and its excess is removed with tweezers. A control layer of colorless varnish is applied on top.

One of the most relevant today is the design with the use of acrylic powder. Polymer powder was previously used in dentistry to restore tooth enamel. Possessing amazing properties, he delighted the masters of manicure and pedicure. Experts have slightly modified the formula so that the powder can be used on nails without harm to them.

In nail art, a good alternative to this artificial material is velvet sand, or powder. There are five types of acrylic powder on sale today. Transparent is necessary for building nails and applying varnish on them.It perfectly strengthens the manicure and increases its resistance to negative factors.

At home, it is easy to independently create an attractive manicure using this material. To make everything work out as intended, the drawing is placed on a gel, since it is this that gives the desired texture and volume.

At the first stage, the nails are prepared, that is, they are freed from the old varnish, filed. The cuticle and burrs are removed, and the nail plate is finally degreased. There are special tools for this on sale, but you can take a simple cotton swab and alcohol.

A base coat or primer is applied under the varnish, which must dry well. The next layer of varnish is dried within a few minutes under a lamp. Another layer is applied, but now images are immediately applied on top of it using gel polish and a thin brush. The woman decides for herself which pattern will look best on her red nails. The powder can be applied immediately, then the nails are again immersed under the lamp and wait until the coating is completely dry. But there is another option.

When the design is applied to the not yet dry coating, it is placed under the lamp to dry completely. This is followed by a layer of top and drying again. At the next stage, the nail is polished, which will allow the pattern to be preserved longer. The image is drawn again and sprinkled with powder, sent to dry. All is ready.

Choosing the right shape for a red manicure will make it even more attractive. It can be oval, square, round and pointed. Previously, all women sought to change the length and correct natural nails in order to match the fashion, today naturalness is in the first place, therefore, what nature has endowed a woman with must only be slightly corrected.

Oval nails are able to visually lengthen the fingers, make the brush graceful. They look great on the arms of thin women.

Round ones only look good if they follow the curve of the cuticle. This is the best option for a shortened manicure. This form is best done for girls who lead an active lifestyle, since manicure does not interfere with everyday activities. Nails in this design break less.

There was a time when the square manicure was considered the most popular, but it is very brittle, especially if the nail plate is long. Short ones are only suitable for girls with thin fingers, but at the same time they are the perfect format for a French manicure.

Pointed nails are considered the most uncomfortable and impractical. On the one hand, this is a large area for creating a drawing, on the other hand, even a finger can be easily broken and damaged. For this reason, fewer and fewer women decide to opt for such a manicure for everyday life.

In choosing the ideal shape, a lot depends on the fingers. If the nail plate is wide, it is best to give preference to round nails, but the length should not be too long. The same rule applies to those women who have thick fingers. If you do not listen and make a square shape, then the hands will become massive, rough.

If your fingers are thin and long, then you should choose a square manicure. Regardless of the design, it will look neat, but provided that the tips are rounded. The presence of sharp corners leads to the fact that the fingers constantly cling to something, the nail plate suffers, as a result it simply exfoliates and breaks off.

If a girl has very small nails by nature, then you should pay attention to the oval shape, which will help to visually enlarge them. She looks good on full arms, but in no case is a pointed shape.

There are many options for how you can decorate your fingers, but a red manicure always makes a woman stand out, gives her individuality, and demonstrates courage. Regardless of the shape and length, this color creates a feeling of well-groomed hands, however, sometimes it is boring to use a monochrome version, so it is so important to know with which colors this shade can be combined.

Looks very nice red with blackand it doesn't matter what color is the main one, as they perfectly complement each other. Better to use graphical markup. Various stencils can help with this. Nail care professionals do not recommend painting over the cuticles. The tone is applied without gaps, only then the red looks gorgeous.

Only after the base is completely dry can you apply lines with black varnish through the stencil. The paper is removed only after the layer is completely dry. Fixes the result with transparent varnish.

The gradient looks unusual and fashionable, but in order to complete it yourself, you will have to try a little and learn how to shade the varnish with a sponge. This can be done immediately on the nail plate or first blot the sponge and then form a manicure.

But it's not just black that contrasts beautifully with red. You can also use white in a huge variety of its tones. Chinese painting and flower theme looks great. 3D compositions are created on the nails, ombre works well, you can use powder.

Red with gold looks surprisingly solemn. You can mix two varnishes or create some additional decorative elements with them. Recently, shellac has become increasingly popular. On a red background, gold decor looks laconic, but defiant. However, stylists advise to work carefully with such a combination:

• the background should not be bright red, since dark shades look better and are not striking;
• pay special attention to the shape, which should be either ellipsoidal or almond-shaped;
• silver jewelry is completely unsuitable for such a manicure;
• it's good if the background is frosted.

Silver and red have their own "love story", in combination, these two colors can look gentle and not defiant. The pearl-tone rubbing looks good, you can make a silvery jacket or apply a pattern to the nails with a thin brush.

If it is supposed to use sparkles as a decorative design, then it will be better if these are the following shades:

• burgundy;
• Dark red;
• purple;
• scarlet.

Oddly enough, blue and blue can also go well with red. The idea of ​​such an extravagant manicure came to us from America and has remained popular for more than ten years. Volumetric appliques, red jacket, rhinestones and moon manicure look amazing. If you want to make the design as vivid as possible, then you need to choose the appropriate shades of these two colors.

With a beige, red manicure can also be made solemn, especially if you add gold jewelry to the image. But it is worth remembering that in this case, a light shade will be the main one, it is better to draw ornament and patterns with a bright color.

It should be said that the combination of red with a different palette largely depends on the tone and the chosen shading. The basic scheme for selecting the ideal combination is based on the principle of damping and purity of tone. The most beneficial colors for this can be considered:

• beige;
• White;
• Brown;
• Gray;
• black.

It looks more attractive with yellow or gold, green and even orange in terms of warm contrast.

The natural combination of red and green involves the use of muted almond tones, for example, with a brown addition or pale green. Royal red looks good with the following tones:

• pea;
• olive;
• leafy green;
• chartreuse.

Menthol and mint tones are often found in red nails as they can create an attractive tandem. Some of its most interesting shades are:

• malachite;
• emerald;
• jade;
• neon green.

If you want to make a mysterious and alluring manicure, then you should use a combination of red with purple or lilac, which are related to it and harmoniously flow into one another.

Manicure design in a red palette is a big topic of conversation. One of the most successful options is considered to be a moon design, especially if a white, silver or gold palette is used. A hole or a jacket in a black glossy tone looks interesting.

If you get bored with a simple French manicure, you can dilute it with any shade of red. It will help create a festive look. The super popular trend of the new season is a matte finish, which can be achieved with the help of a special varnish or matting coating.

Drawing with hearts looks good on any background. Despite the fact that this is a simple decoration option, such a manicure with patterns on the hands is simply gorgeous. It is perfect for romantic people.

If you want rigor, then classic red is used with the addition of a small amount of rhinestones or one image. Well mutes the brightness of the color white, you can make a gradient or ombre.

A new, but no less interesting technique for applying a veil will help to put nails in order. The edging can be painted in red using a thin brush. I didn't like this option and want something bright, festive - then golden sand or sparkles will help.

Glossy manicure looks good on any length, especially for short nails. You can make the surface mirrored by rubbing in.

Summer nail design is distinguished by the brightness of colors, the richness of colors, the predominance of flower arrangements. During this period, like in spring, there is nothing better than to design your nails in one of the tones of red. It is not necessary to make this color predominant, you can use large patterns. For the summer, you can just make a red jacket, and under it cover the nail with a gradient.

For example, poppies look spectacular and unusual on nails. There are many options for how and where to place them. Ladybugs do not lose popularity either; they are suitable for bold and original girls.

In winter, red varnish can be a great idea for drawing Santa Claus, garlands or Christmas tree decorations. In the fall, this is an amazing and rich palette for depicting falling leaves.

The latest in modern nail design is the use of fruit motifs. Cherries, apples and berries look unusual. With a good drawing, they distract attention to themselves and make ordinary manicure more interesting.

Only the card theme comes into fashion. The symbols alternate with each other, change, are located on the nail in different versions. The red and black version looks especially impressive and contrasting.

On a matte manicure, they increasingly began to make a lunar design with the continuation of the crescent moon down to the end of the nail. This gives the impression that a drop has fallen and is rolling down the plate.
