Design examples
There are a huge number of examples of beautiful manicure using pink and lilac shades. They can be applied solo or in combination with other tones.
- Monochrome. Monochrome manicure is the standard and the easiest to complete. As a variety, it is recommended to paint four fingers with lavender, and one ring with pink. If you want a more delicate tone, you can apply it on the index and little fingers, leaving the rest of the nails lilac. This option looks the best in a matte texture, especially on long nails.
- Transition. To create this design, you will need five different shades of lavender and pink, which, when applied, form a kind of transition from one color to another. The little finger can be painted with the darkest, the ring finger - with a slightly lighter tone, a pale purple shade is applied to the middle finger, and a pastel pink shade on the index finger. The thumbnail should be decorated with either a very light shade of pink, or white, or nude.
- Ombre. Pink-lilac ombre manicure is the most popular option for this combination. A uniform transition from one tone to another looks beautiful and original on the nails. To create this design, you will need two varnishes and a piece of sponge. First of all, the nail is treated with a transparent base, then the sponge is painted pink and lilac. With light pressed movements, transfer the pattern from the sponge to the plate.
- French. The classic French manicure of a white and beige combination, although it holds the leading position in nail design, still gradually fades into the background. Instead, they now make a colored jacket. A lighter pink is applied as a base, and the tip is painted with lavender. You can swap them, make a different version on each finger, add a cuticle hole or a silver border between the two shades.
- Patterns. Beautiful monograms, petals or curls look very interesting against a pink-lilac background. As a rule, white is chosen for jewelry, it is most suitable for both shades and does not compete with them. If you want to get a manicure using only two shades, you can paint all your nails pink, and make patterns light purple.
- Stripes. Design with manicure stripes that stick directly to the surface of the nail is very popular this season. With the help of thin, multi-colored lines, you can create an interesting pattern that will not go unnoticed. They can be glued horizontally, vertically, diagonally. It all depends on the fantasy. As a rule, stripes are chosen in white, gold or silver, as they are neutral and suitable for any combination.
- Sequins. A shiny manicure is perfect for an evening event. He will give the image completeness and zest. One option is to apply pink glitter all over the nail. In order not to overdo it with shine, it is recommended to decorate only the ring finger. The rest are painted in lavender tone, or matte. For a more modest option, a stretch is perfect. Pink sequins are poured onto the lilac base, and then stretched towards the middle. Glitter can be used to decorate both the tip of the nail and its base; in any case, they will be evenly distributed over the entire plate using a thin brush.
Choosing an outfit
The combination of two pastel shades is not suitable for every look. Clothes for this option should be chosen carefully so that everything looks harmonious. The best option would be a pink or lilac cocktail dress in combination with beige shoes and a bag. If the shoes are open, it is recommended to do the pedicure to match the hands.
A pastel manicure will look great with an orchid-colored chiffon or silk blouse tucked into black pants or a skirt. A total white look will be an ideal image; to add zest, you can decorate your neck with a lavender scarf with a pink pattern. Pink-lavender nail design will look the best in this case. The manicure is also suitable for the look with a purple chiffon dress.
