Interesting and unusual design options for scarlet manicure
Red nail design does not lose its relevance from year to year, since it is considered universal, bright enough and unusual. But not all shades can be used on any length of the nail, especially the scarlet tone.
Color rules
The scarlet shade can be either glossy or matte, with the presence of additional elements, or simply monochrome. To get a neat manicure, you need to know a few rules for applying varnish of this tone:
- hands must be perfect, therefore, before applying the coating, they must be put in order, otherwise a feeling of negligence is created;
- cover the nail plate, not reaching the cuticle and retreating a millimeter from the edges;
- one layer is not enough, therefore, after the first, a second is applied and, if necessary, a third;
- poor-quality varnish does not fit well and looks very ugly;
- scarlet can not be combined with every color, it is better if black, white or chisel become its "partners" in design;
- it is desirable that the girl be the owner of a narrow nail plate;
- nails should not be too long, as they look vulgar.
Color combinations
Scarlet looks very good with beige. As a base, you can use both red and light shades. In the middle, a large heart is drawn in such a way that its upper part in the form of a check mark is the transition line from the cuticle to the figure. The result is a non-standard moon manicure. Matte looks very good in combination with glossy. A small diagonal of rhinestones will be a good accent. This option is suitable for an evening look.
A classic jacket will also look interesting and unusual, especially if the border is outlined with black varnish.You can use the moon manicure technique, and use decorative elements to lay out a hole with them.
Monogram designs are gaining in popularity. These are not only lines, but also curls, petals located in different directions. You can draw them in more contrasting colors: white and black.
Passionate and emotional people should pay attention to the red and black version of the decorative design. Gold patterns also look great on a scarlet background. Some designers consider this combination to be royal, as it always looks rich and sophisticated.
Floral designs can be very varied. White roses look good, dots, neatly framing the edges. All this can be complemented by shining accents. If you have experience, painting made with a thin brush would look good on scarlet nails.
An original solution that courageous girls can choose for themselves - red and blue. This can be, again, a floral pattern or geometric shapes.
