The modern look gives it high status, making it one of the favorites for the finest shades of the color palette. However, being one of the most popular manicure tones, pink color has a number of nuances, the knowledge of which will allow you to decorate your bow stylishly and nobly.

The uniqueness of pink lies in its versatility. It is based on three contrasting colors: passionate red, cold blue and soft white. Depending on which of them is larger, the temperature and saturation of the pink hue will change. Tones of pink can be warm, cold, oranges, lilacs, coral, or mandgety undertones.

The color range of pink includes different shades. The most popular of them in the design of nails are coatings:

• pale pink quartz;
• pale pink, almost white;
• pink cream;

Conventionally, all tones can be divided into light, bright and dark. The pastel group of shades is great to complement everyday bows. The vibrant options are good for a seaside getaway or vacation trip.Dark pink tones are appropriate for evening looks, especially if you also choose the right type of texture for the coating used.

To the delight of many women, nails of medium and moderate length will be relevant in the coming season. If natural nails are short, it doesn't matter, they are no less relevant than elongated ones. The cut line of the upper edge changes. If earlier it was oval and strictly straight, then with the arrival of the new season, a slightly rounded cut will be in fashion.

For fans of straight nails, it is recommended to at least slightly round the saw cut line on the sides. This will not only refine the shape of the nail plate, but also give it a natural look, which cannot be said about the categorically straight cuts of nails. The almond-shaped form of nails with a slightly sharpened edge is returning to fashion. At the same time, outwardly, it should not be unnecessarily elongated due to the length.

The focus is on naturalness, so it is undesirable to overload the shape with length. Sufficient length should accommodate simple decor, nothing more, because complex compositions remain in the past: minimalism is in fashion. All that is superfluous and voluminous is gradually disappearing, the emphasis is on the premium texture of the varnish product used. Today, a healthy and well-groomed appearance of nails is more important than a complex design.

In the new season, fashion has prepared several new trends and has stocked up with surprises. For example, the shades of colors will now depend on the season.

• pastel pink will be appropriate in summer;
• a cold one can decorate a winter manicure;
• coral pink will look harmonious in autumn;
• the combination of pink with greenish will diversify the spring image of a woman.

In this case, one of the ways to indicate the belonging of a design to a certain season will be drawings and other decor used. In addition, the fashion gives clear recommendations on what design will be appropriate for different occasions. For example, for casual looks, this is a traditional classic in a solid color. Those who may find this solution boring should take a closer look at patterned designs. With such decoration, the following can be involved:

• art painting;
• geometric patterns;
• various stickers;
• glued decor.

Evening looks should be smart, so a variety of sparkling décor can be used for special pink manicures. However, it is worth making a reservation right away: it will have to be used in dosage so as not to look tasteless and vulgar. The leading position in the execution of the picture will be taken by patterns using dots, lines and various geometric shapes. For summer bows, you should choose patterns with floral themes, plants, abstract and ethnic motives. Consider the main trends in nail decoration in the coming season.

Not without favorites in textured solutions. So, in the new season, metallic-style coatings will be in demand. Mirror types of textures will be especially appropriate for plain designs. In addition to mirror-effect varnishes, textured rub-in and manicure foil are among the best varnish coatings.

The first decorations are a special powdery substance with the smallest shine, which is rubbed into the nail plate, achieving the desired effect. Today, rubbing can have a lot of effects, due to which a manicure in pink tones can be not only voluminous, but also iridescent with all the colors of the rainbow. Today, manicure foil is also distinguished by a variety of varieties, from which every woman can choose the desired option. Island-style coatings and holographic designs will be especially popular.

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the main nuances of the decor popular in the new season. This will help in the future to decorate the pink manicure correctly, making it stylish and expressive.

Seasonality-focused design is a great way to convey thematic images. For example, a pink manicure for summer can be decorated with a variety of bright prints with images of insects (May beetles and ladybugs will be especially popular), ripe and juicy fruits, beach and seascapes. At the same time, shades of pink for summer designs should be bright and saturated.

Geometry will be a popular design classic for all seasons. Moreover, it is allowed not only to design nails with geometric shapes, but also to draw various straight lines with points located on them, and all kinds of hollow triangles, prisms, complex designs from lines superimposed on one another. For winter bows, it is worth choosing patterns of frosty patterns; they can be made using white contrast of lace and silvering.

The theme of the stripes will be one of the trending ones. In this case, the drawings can be made in contrasting tones against a pink background or with a single-color companion varnish. You can paint them vertically, diagonally or across the nail plate.

Despite the striving of fashion trends for minimalism and lightness, the new season will not do without sparkling stones and rhinestones. However, everything should be in moderation, on which new trends are emphasized.For example, you cannot decorate all your nails with a scattering of rhinestones or stones, but you can choose accents as the basis for decorating. A monochromatic manicure can be decorated with accentuation of the cuticle area, using small rhinestones for this.

Pink is quite selective in the choice of contrasts, which against its background will look harmonious and sophisticated. Of course, you cannot violate the tenderness of the shade with tones such as blood red or acid yellow or even poisonous orange. Even dark tones, complementing the delicate pink color, change its perception. However, this does not always look hard, and the different mood of pink will allow a woman to indulge in using her favorite color when choosing the main tone of a manicure.

From the options presented, you can choose textured coatings. The trend will be a varnish with a textile surface effect that can mimic the texture of satin, velvet and velveteen.

In addition to monochromatic coatings, a jacket will be in demand. Moreover, it can be very diverse, including combined with a moon manicure or a monochromatic technique. Today, such technical solutions are a design trend and allow you to stand out from the crowd. A distinctive feature of the new season in the design of the jacket is its craving for asymmetry and geometry.

If earlier the smile line was traditional oval, today it can be diagonal or completely abstract, reminiscent of the lower part of the letter "M". The inverted jacket will also differ. Its line, which runs at the very base of the nail plate, has noticeably decreased today. Sometimes it is completely blurred or resembles the outline of the nail, reaching almost to the very top of the nail plate.

Hole manicure or moon design is now done using the negative space technique. This technique allows you to visually lengthen the nail plate, which is especially important for the design of short nails. The negative space technique focuses on showing the unpainted nail. With the lunar design, the hole is now rarely painted over, moreover, it is also emphasized with a thin bow. Those who do not consider such a design interesting remain faithful to the classics, painting over the holes of the manicure in a contrasting pink tone.

Pink nails using the gradient technique will look beautiful if you use coatings of several shades of pastel for it.Such a design will be especially relevant for the summer, and fashion trends are sure that the transition from one tone to another today should be as smooth and natural as possible. The gradient in related pink tones, covered with a top with a matte effect, will also look gorgeous.

Complicating manicure using magnetic varnishes known as cat-eye coatings. Today, these lacquer products are distinguished by a wide variety of tones and textures, which makes it possible to obtain not only a bright and unusual design, but a rather fresh solution that demonstrates the versatility of the main pink background. It was a surprise that craquelure coatings, characterized by the effect of cracks, returned to the trend. Today it is fashionable to combine such designs with gold or silver, achieving an unusual appearance of the manicure.

A stylish and ultra-fashionable solution will be a coating using the "broken glass" technique. For such designs, a special film is used, which is cut into small pieces, and then spread on the nails, imitating various shapes of geometric shapes or completely covering the surface of the nail plate. On a light pink background, they really seem to be broken glass, while on a dark pink they will play with all the colors of the rainbow. This is a great solution for accentuating your manicure.

Those who are tired of traditional techniques will love the idea of ​​a manicure called “veil”. A translucent base with a pattern painted with acrylic paint will look incredibly delicate and feminine. The whole point of this technique is to achieve a translucent base, for which a transparent gel polish and a few drops of pink pigment are used. The darker the tone of the original color, the more pronounced the effect of a veil or nylon stockings.

Fans of vintage designs will love nail art using the newspaper manicure technique. On a delicate pink background, the printed letters will look stylish and unusual.

Acrylic powder can completely cover the surface of accent nails or use them for a volumetric pattern. The same can be said about microbeads. However, due to the fact that it has a different particle size, it can be used to create stripes, lines, waves and even silhouettes of the pattern. It should be borne in mind that both flock powder and broths will look beautiful and appropriate in a manicure if you decorate no more than two or four fingers with them. It is still better to paint the rest of the nails with a monochromatic varnish.

Brilliant manicure is relevant, and you can achieve the desired effect in different ways. You can paint holes with glitter, create a classic or inverted jacket, cover lace patterns on top.
