Matte pink manicure design ideas

Matte manicure always attracts the attention of others, making a woman stand out from the crowd. Today this type of texture is a trend in the nail industry. It looks noble and elegant, with its naturalness and expressiveness it outperforms many varieties with unusual effects. But the matte finish has its own characteristics. How to make the best design with a matte pink finish will be discussed later.

Matt varnish is not an easy coating today. Masters of nail salons offer their clients a design using hybrid varnishes. They are durable and attractive, they look fresh for almost their entire service life, which on average ranges from two to five weeks. These varnish products are designed to work with a special lamp, under which each layer of used materials applied to the nails is dried.

Today matte gel varnishes have 4 types of texture for textiles. Their surface can imitate satin, velveteen, velor or velvet. Such coatings look expensive and status, and especially attractive in a sensual pink color. However, in order for a manicure with a matte varnish to be flawless, you need to take into account some subtleties, for example:

• the surface of the nail must be perfectly sanded, any defect will affect the texture of the coating;
• any curvature of the nail will be noticeable if the varnish is not applied correctly;
• when working with an initially matte pigment, you cannot use a regular top with a gloss, since this will disappear the matte effect;
• the matte finish dries longer than the glossy one, with the choice of the pigment and the type of drying lamp being of particular importance.

If there is no matte finish at home, but you want to do exactly a matte manicure, you can use several methods to achieve the desired result.

For example, you can use a regular pink glossy finish and a special matte top with a velvety effect. As a rule, the technique itself does not change its essence: after two layers of pigment, a matting top is applied to the nails, and the coating is dried under a special lamp.

An original texture with a matte effect can be obtained using acrylic powder. At the same time, the surface will appear not only matte, but velvety and effective. If you use a special transparent powder at the same time, you can achieve the effect of "velvet sand". Powder can be ordered online or purchased in a specialized store, working with it according to the basic method of manicure.

There is another way to matt varnish. To give a beautiful texture, use the so-called dust or another type of powder. Just like acrylic powder, it is economical and comes in a variety of colors. However, it is not sprinkled on the sticky top, but spread with a brush and then dried in a lamp.

There are times when there is no matte gel polish or top with a matte effect at home. In this case, you can act differently: the effect of a matte surface can be given to the nails using a cutter or buff. Of course, not every one of us will do the procedure flawlessly, however, if you still manage to partially remove the gloss from the pigment, the coating will look velvety. After sanding, you need to wipe the nail with a sponge and treat it with a disinfectant.

You can change the texture of the varnish with corn or potato starch. In this case, the surface of the coating will turn out to be beautiful and velvety. One pinch of starch is enough to achieve the desired effect.

If you have a beautiful pink tone at home that needs to be turned into a matte pigment urgently, you can do this using powder or even non-shiny eyeshadow. For the coating to have a uniform texture, it is necessary to shake it well after adding matting agents. However, adding powder or shadows must be dosed, otherwise you can spoil the product that is.

A pink manicure with a matte texture opens up a ton of design possibilities. It is suitable for most well-known nail design techniques, and also allows for their various combinations with each other. The simplest, but rather noble design option is to decorate all nails with matte varnish. A classic manicure without a pattern or decor will look spectacular, introducing notes of nobility and aristocracy into the female image.

Matte manicure using the gradient technique looks super beautiful. At the same time, the design can be made of several related shades, which will give the pink manicure versatility. If you want a play of contrasting tones, you can combine pink with shades of pastel colors.

It is fashionable to combine matte texture with gloss.For example, a traditional or an inverted jacket can be taken as a design basis. The main background can be matte, and the smile is made with gloss. If you want something new, instead of a smile, you can make a thin outline of the nail plate. The same color can be used to depict a simple pattern on the nail.

A stylish idea is the design on a matte background with transparent drops. It creates a rain effect on matte nails.

If you want tenderness, you can make a design with a lace pattern. In this regard, stamping will be the best option for completing the technique. Stamps with different patterns and ornaments, made in a contrasting color on matte pink, will look gentle and professional.

A harmonious combination of matte texture and sparkling decor. If a mix with gloss may seem vulgar and tasteless, the duo of velvety pink varnish with small rhinestones will give off luxury and aesthetics. Of course, voluminous and large crystals are not suitable for pink, but an appropriate and dosed arrangement of accents in the form of small pebbles will allow you to add expressiveness and delicate taste to the design.

Matte design options look gorgeous, in which one or more fingers have an accent design. For example, a matte pink manicure can be decorated with:

• a sticker with a marshmallow theme;
• glossy varnish with a relief powdery pattern;

• shiny silver gel polish;

• broth, decorating the entire surface of the nail with microbeads;
• a bow made of small rhinestones, highlighting the cuticle area;

• floral pattern on a contrasting tone base;

• stucco or volumetric image (shell, flower);

• any type of manicure foil, including foil tape.

Matte color is good for different nail shapes. Pink symbolizes tenderness, and therefore the form in this case should be appropriate. Pink looks great on straight and oval nails. Such a manicure will look good on almond-shaped marigolds, which are becoming popular again today. But the sheer claws of a sharp shape and enormous length are taboo for pink designs.

When choosing a design with a matte texture, you need to take into account the degree of saturation of the tone used. For example, hot pinks are good for vacation and relaxation. For everyday looks, it is necessary to select muted or light, pale pink shades of pink varnish. Pink-gray contrasts with a light gray tone are good in this case.

As for sequins, rhinestone decorations and shimmery additions to matte manicure, this design is good for evening bows. The abundance of shine is not suitable for every day, it is better to use rubbing, giving accent nails an unusual texture.
