Pink Gradient Manicure Ideas

Ombre on nails conveys a smooth color transition from dark to light shades. World designers of the fashion industry on the threshold of 2010 literally pounced on a new trend. Until now, they successfully use it in the field of beauty. The ombre effect looks stylish on both short and long nails.

The secret of gradient manicure is that it fits equally stylishly into the image of a young beauty and an age-old elegant seductress. At the same time, it is important to choose the right combination of pink palette and make an effective sharp or smooth transition of shades.

Gradient look of manicure gives endless scope for creativity. Masters create a lot of interesting transitions, using pink lacquer colors in their work, as well as a contrasting or similar in shade palette.

• Linear ombre. It is important to perform the hit of the season within the same color scheme. There will be no smooth stretch marks, but the number of tones will increase to seven. Neil designers apply several stripes of any orientation, from light to dark.

• Vertical gradient can be done by painting each nail in its own color from a single palette. You can choose several similar tones or just change the intensity of the brush, the number of layers. In this case, the effect of a vertical ombre will be noticeable only when all fingers are connected together. In other cases, you can paint each nail separately with a vertical "degradation".

• Horizontal stretch performed within one nail, gives rise to incredible scope for creativity and "nail art" techniques.On one hand, you can experiment by combining color transitions from bottom to top (from dark to light) and in specular reflection (from light to dark).

• Gradient French became in demand since 2017 and still does not lose its relevance. A "tandem" of pink pastel colors and white stripes is considered a classic, a smooth transition to which is carried out with the addition of curious textures (rhinestones, sparkles, glitter, etc.).

And also the original ombre can be made using the technique of moon manicure with the addition of geometric prints, openwork patterns, stickers, stamping, rubbing.

Light pink gradient is associated with innocence, femininity, coquetry. There are several categories of this color, ranging from warm tones, cool fuchsia-based accents to hazy light colors with an admixture of gray, blue. At the peak of popularity in the coming season are such shades as:

• pink cloud;
• crystal rose;
• creamy with peach;
• powdery with a worn-out effect;
• sakura;
• flamingo;
• purplish pink.

If earlier "nail" masters delicately darkened light shades, today they create the most incredible gradient. With the color of a spring sunset, such shades are boldly combined as:

• amaranth;
• dark purple;
• turquoise;
• silver;
• White and black;
• red-violet;
• green (closer to marsh, khaki);
• Brown.

In color, creativity and "blur" will be welcomed, and any strict framework will be prohibited. Must have of the coming season - any shade close to skin color in combination with pink: beige, ivory, coffee, etc. The “duet” of tea rose and berry mousse with purple hues also looks provocative. The pink color is successfully combined with plum, cherry, graphite, pale cornflower blue, smoky purple.

In order to make a stylish gradient on the nails, you need to "arm" the necessary shades of varnish, a mini-sponge, transparent varnish and a cosmetic cotton pad.

The sponge must be moistened in water and a clear line should be drawn along its edge with a dark color. After it, stripes of lighter pink shades appear alternately.

The "painted" sponge is first imprinted on a white sheet to achieve smoother borders between colors, and then transferred to the nail. The more porous the structure of the sponge, the more noticeable it will be on the fingers.

It is necessary to get rid of excess varnish using a special liquid and a cotton pad (stick). The result is fixed with transparent varnish. Further, the ombre is decorated with rhinestones, glitter, painting, etc.

When using shellac, the process will be much faster, and the result will be more effective and longer. It is important to prepare a varnish with clear, dense pigmentation, which can be applied in 2-4 coats. Coloring should start with a light tone, gradually turning into juicy, dark ones.

Masters of "nail art" use for work:

• base and finish for gel polish;
• comb brush;
• led lamp;
• a liquid that removes the stickiness at the end of the coating.

First, you have to work with buffs, shape the nails, degrease them. Next, a base is applied to the nails, on which a gradient will subsequently be drawn.

Starting from the lunula, step by step with small strokes it is necessary to stretch the pigment and from time to time polemicize the result. At the very end, you need to secure the work with a topcoat. To simplify the modern ombre on nails, many nail artists use an airbrush.The tool speeds up the process of applying the gradient and makes the result perfectly neat.

Owners of the "rounded square" are recommended to supplement this type of manicure with kamifubuki, rhinestones and rubbing on the merging of tones. Short nails will visually become larger, and long ones will turn into a real “canvas” for “nail art”. Here you will be able to display geometric patterns, create acrylic painting, lace "cobweb", beautifully lay sparkles.
