Pink manicure: a variety of shades and fashion ideas

Pink is one of the trendy shades of manicure this season. If earlier it was associated with bohemian and glamor, today the multifaceted color is more popular than ever for women of different age groups and social status. What he is like this season and what fashion trends say will be discussed further.

Pink itself is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Few people think about the fact that this shade is able to affect the state and well-being of a person. With its help, you can get rid of depression and improve your well-being. Combining two colors (red and white), pink symbolizes different feelings. For example, he is characterized by passion, sexuality, but at the same time tenderness, purity and gullibility.

At first glance, he seems gentle and romantic. It characterizes renewal and femininity, as well as innocence. From a psychological point of view, this color is saturated with the energy of the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity. However, color also has a downside. Its other qualities are frivolity and fickleness. Someone even agrees that this color is chosen by girls who need to stand out from the crowd, attracting attention.

However, the color is not so simple: it is chosen by girls who are outwardly quite open, but in reality it is difficult to understand what they are thinking. With regard to the influence of pink on the state of girls, it is worth noting: the color pacifies, relieves aggression and stress. Few people know, but it is able to affect the heart rate, and also reduces blood pressure and has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the digestive system.

Pink manicure always looks elegant. At the same time, it often does not need additional decoration, because often the main beauty is the used gel polish itself with a noble texture. However, it is important to understand that pink does not tolerate rivalry, because from this the manicure loses its expressiveness and becomes tasteless and childish.

Until recently, the pink color of nails was considered something marshmallow, designed for teenagers and celebrities. He emphasized the romance of nature, hinting at her sophistication. Today, fashion invites women to try different tones of pink, choosing between rich and light shades for their bows. The palette of pink shades consists of warm and cold, light and dark tones, which can have orange, magenta, purple, lilac, brown and gray tint.

For example, some of the best shades of pink lacquer products today are:

• delicate rose quartz;
• light, white-pink;
• creamy pink;
• shade of pink water;
• white and purple;
• pearl;

• warm pink;
• pink peach;
• pink balsam;
• strawberry cream tone;
• pink lilac;
• light salmon;

• pearl peach;
• pink coral;
• lotus shade;
• pastel pink;
• dusty rose;
• silver pink;

• dark pearlescent;
• beige and peach;
• pinkish gray;
• peony pink;
• pink-lilac;
• deep pink.

The pink palette consists of over a hundred shades. It also includes such tones as almond-coral, pink-burgundy, lilac-pink, rose-red, rose-wine, fuchsia, violet-pink. Popular this season are raspberry, lilac-raspberry, pink-beetroot tones, as well as a shade of bysen berry, nude, dark pink and pink-smoky tones.

Usually, with the arrival of the new season, fashion trends declare the ideal, correct and popular shape of nails. This season there are no rigid frameworks: a woman chooses the ideal shape herself based on the characteristics of her nails. Of course, naturally elongated nail plates with a rounded edge are considered the best shape. However, those whose nail shape is far from ideal have to grow it.

The almond shape of nails is back in fashion. However, while fashion trends are in no hurry to announce the return of butterfly nails with their characteristic long length and sharp ends. Ideally, almond nails are short and oval, slightly pointed. This is quite enough for decorating, while long and sharp nails are not only uncomfortable, but also look somewhat aggressive. Such nails look repulsive, they will make a feminine manicure in pink tones aggressive.

When choosing a straight nail cut line, it is important not to overdo it. Otherwise, they are able to acquire the appearance of false nails, and this is already out of fashion today. Short nail plates with a straight cut line are ugly. In this case, an oval or almond edge will look more aesthetically pleasing.

High-quality manicure is performed today using modern varnish products. Pigmented nail polishes in pink tones, with which it is customary to cover nails today, are hybrid coatings that combine the properties of gel and varnish. Unlike conventional varnishes, gel varnishes require drying for each layer of pigment applied.

For this, a special device is used - a UV lamp. As a rule, one or two minutes is enough for each layer to completely dry, which depends on the type of pigment used, as well as the base and top, without which more than one salon manicure is impossible. It is distinguished by gel polishes and durability: such a manicure can decorate women's hands for up to four weeks without the need for correction. As a rule, it does not chip or crack, it always looks fresh, as if it had just been made.

Today, manufacturers of hybrid varnishes offer several coating options to the attention of modern women of fashion:

• matte and glossy;
• with a pearl tint;
• temperature or chameleons;

• options for "cat's eye";
• with a translucent texture;
• shimmery and with glitter;
• options with a metallic effect.

In this case, the types of coatings can be modified due to the used topcoat. For example, the same glossy gel polish can be made matte or even velvety by covering it on top with a thin layer of top with a matte effect. The price of the issue is not high, but the effect is not just beautiful, but chic and status.

Today, there are several basic methods for performing a manicure. All of them are inherently simple, but they require accuracy and perseverance, as well as preliminary preparation of the nail plates. It is the correct and high-quality preparation that will be the basis for a professional type of manicure. Let's take a look at some of the most popular finger design techniques this season.

This manicure is nothing more than staining the nail plates with one color of gel polish. Cover the nails completely over the entire surface. It would seem a simple solution, but if you choose the right texture or, say, a contrasting gel polish for accentuation, such a design will look stylish and expensive. For example, he can get the same status due to the matte velvety texture of the surface.

This technique means a design in which the upper edge of the nail plate is decorated with a so-called smile (arcuate strip) in a contrasting color. Its width this season is reduced, as well as the shape. If earlier the classic design was welcomed, today the jacket tends to geometric techniques and asymmetrical lines. For example, it may not be rounded, but diagonal, and also made in the shape of an angle.

Highlighting the cuticle area or the lower outline of pink nails is one of the trends of the new season. Today, this design is considered stylish and fashionable, and it can be done in different ways. In one case, this is a strip in the cuticle area, lined with small rhinestones. Often this is an arc drawn with a contrasting varnish or even silver. It is noteworthy that today the accentuation of the cuticle zone can be either asymmetric or long, almost half outlining the nail plate.

The design with the so-called holes at the bottom at the base of the nail plate is one of the best techniques of modern pink manicure. However, if earlier the holes were made with contrasting shades of gel polish, today this design uses the technique of negative space. In fact, the hole is left unpainted, or it is isolated with an unpainted arc.

A gradient or ombre effect is created using several shades of gel polish. They can be related, which allows you to create a unique design, showing the play of color. Someone, on the contrary, prefers to use contrasting pigments for the ombre effect, for example, stretching pink into lilac or purple. A similar decor is made using a special sponge, on which pigments are applied.Someone creates a gradient right on the nails, combining contrasting tones with a brush.

This technique is created on the basis of a translucent pigment. In another way, it is called "tights", as it is somewhat reminiscent of the effect of nylon tights. For her, they use transparent varnish and the main pigment, as well as acrylic paint, since the technique involves painting. Pigment is dripped into the transparent varnish, the varnish is stirred and applied to the nails, after which it is dried, drawings are created and covered with a layer of top coat. Today this technique is one of the most fashionable. At the same time, the masters manage to make it not only monochromatic, but also contrasting.

This product can also be attributed to the trends of the new season. On the market, rubbing is presented in a fairly wide range, which allows you to choose the option with the desired effect for decorating the nail plates. This product is rubbed into the pigment to achieve the desired effect. Rubbing in a manicure can look not only bright, but extraordinary and elegant. However, in order to achieve a harmonious effect, you need to be especially careful in choosing the desired option.

This design has not lost its popularity for several years in a row. Today, however, cat-eye finishes are more interesting. For example, the nail plate can shimmer in several shades, which makes it possible to use this varnish product to accentuate a manicure. To give the desired effect when performing the technique, a special magnetic instrument is used, which is brought as close as possible to the painted, but not dried, nail plate.

Today this is one of the most relevant techniques that allows you to create a bright and memorable manicure. This design is made using a special film. The protective layer is removed from it, cut into small pieces, and then glued to the nail plate on a layer of undried topcoat. At the same time, they are placed close to each other in order to get the effect of broken glass. Cover the top with the film twice so that the surface of the nail plates is flat.

This substance is essentially nothing more than a special polymer powder of different colors, with the help of which the coating is given a special rough texture. In this case, the application of acrylic powder can be partial, as well as complete, in which it is used on a layer of applied but not dried topcoat. If the task of the master is not the texture of the coating, but the drawing, then it is created with the top, and then the flock powder itself is applied. This design looks voluminous, but stylish and new, the coating itself looks status and velvety.

Broths are microscopic beads that are used as the main texture of the nail or as a means of decorating it. In general, this is a powder-caviar in a microscopic version, or something resembling semolina. It is applied to an undried top, after which it is dried under a special (UV or LED) lamp. Today, such a substance can be purchased in different shades of pink, which allows them to decorate accent nails with the tone of the main pigment.

Decorating nails is akin to art, especially when pink is used as the basis. It is important not to interrupt all the attention from the main shade, and also to place accents correctly. Consider the materials through which you can harmoniously decorate a pink manicure today.

Hand decorating nails using acrylic paints and varnish products is a real art that professional masters of nail salons can do. The thin lace lines that they display on the nails look beautiful and organic, regardless of the idea of ​​the drawing. For designs in pink, these are often floral motifs, as well as butterfly wings.Abstraction, ethnic patterns, various feathers, as well as drawings in sketch technique are acceptable for pink manicure.

This term means the use of ready-made stamps with a variety of microscopic designs. They make them on accent nails, choosing an appropriate pattern that suits the pink color. As a rule, these are all kinds of lace, as well as small flowers or unusual geometric ornaments.

It would seem impossible to combine tenderness and gloss in one manicure. However, current trends prove the opposite. Foil or a special foil film can become the very accent of the design, which will bring the desired mood into the design and cheer up a woman. The main thing is not to overdo it, because an abundance of shine is not welcomed today. You can decorate the nail plates with the effect of marble interspersed with silver, mask the joint between two contrasting shades of pigment (for example, combining pink with white or blue).

It should be noted that today the volumetric decor has lost its relevance. Large crystals, which until recently adorned the nails of women's fingers, today seem tasteless. It is important to understand that expressive manicure does not tolerate clutter. What is good in the Barbie style is inappropriate in the look of a modern fashionista, even if the direction in the spirit of Asian "lolita" is chosen as the basis of her stylistic image. The less sheen surrounds the pink design, the better. This does not mean that sparkling decor is contraindicated, but its placement should be appropriate and dosed.

Massive decor in the form of volumetric elements is a thing of the past. Keeping in mind that pink is tricky, you should avoid overweighting your design. This is especially important to consider when decorating long nails. Today, fashion trends strive for convenience, and voluminous decor stands out for clinging to anything. This is what often becomes the reason for the breaking of nails, which gives a woman a lot of negative emotions.

Pink cannot be called universal when combined with other shades of the palette. He is picky enough in the choice of contrasts, otherwise he loses his expressiveness and looks childish. To avoid inept combination, stylists suggest starting from several methods of harmonious union of pink. For example, he looks good manicure:

• milky pink;
• pinkish green;
• combined with nude tones;
• in contrast to light brown;

• combined with orange;
• with gold or silver;
• with a contrasting white or black pattern;
• in a duet with lilac pearlescent pigment;

• with sunny and lilac;
• with white solid or milky;
• with dark gray;
• with blue and nude;

• with light beige;
• with bright coral;
• with burgundy gradient technique;
• with turquoise.

Today, a beautiful pink manicure welcomes the moderation of the decor. No matter how much you would like to stick more rhinestones and crystals on your nails, you should not do this, just as you do not need to overdo it with glitter and glitter. If you want something unusual, it is better to focus on the texture of the coating than to paint each finger in different tones of pink, and even dress them on top with a scattering of voluminous decor. If you want to be fashionable, learn to choose the right colors and decor. The bright color of the gel polish must be balanced with soft light tones (for example, choosing them for accent nail plates or a pattern).
