Blue French manicure
Striving to diversify and bring something new and fresh, the fashion trends of the nail industry never cease to amaze their fans with bright design ideas. Today, fashion looks at the blue jacket: this color is considered one of the best and noblest. Having a different emotional color, he is able to emphasize the feminine principle and demonstrate a delicate taste.
Features of a blue jacket
Blue refers to the calm colors of the color palette. It has long been associated with coolness, wisdom, pacification, it is a kind of symbol of purification. This is the color of eternity, it has long been endowed with a special meaning. For example, the ancient peoples were of the opinion that the gods lived in blue. At the same time, blue is emotionally cold and is completely unsuitable for people prone to depression.
A blue jacket gives a female image beauty, but for each age category of women, its tone should be different. So, dark colors are good for young women of fashion, while they are contraindicated for older ladies. It is also important to take into account the exactingness of blue to a specific image and purpose.
The color cannot be called simple and versatile. It can fit into an everyday bow only if only the smile of the nails is blue, and the base of the manicure is made with a flesh color. In addition, the tone of the blue color should be muted and soft: this way the manicure will more harmoniously fit into the female image. In addition, blue is selective in the selection of decorative elements.
Nail shape and smile
Fashion trends today do not have strict beauty standards. Each woman can choose the shape individually.The only thing that fashion pays attention to is the desire for femininity and naturalness. Let it be better short nails than extended ones. In general, the nail plates can tend to a reasonable lengthening.
Oval and almond-shaped nails are considered the best design today. Given the desire for femininity, a rounded and flowing edge is encouraged. As for the shape of the smile of a French manicure, it will depend both on the shape of the nails and on the fantasy of the manicure master.
Today, thanks to the variety of auxiliary elements, a smile can be made arched, like a wave, an asymmetrical diagonal line, a lightning, a triangle.
A fantasy smile looks great. At the same time, she may strive for a certain topic or even seasonality, which is even more important for a modern jacket. The difference between this design is its execution on accent nails, which gives the French manicure expressiveness and showiness. A smile can be made in the form of a flower, a wing of a dragonfly or a butterfly, a gradient, imitation of champagne bubbles, multi-colored confetti.
Different experiments are allowed depending on the style of the manicure. At the same time, not only the traditional, but also the inverted jacket is remarkable. It is often decorated with a deliberate emphasis on the cuticle area, which looks especially beautiful and impressive against a blue main background. In addition, the reverse French manicure is notable for the fact that today it is he who today, more often than other techniques, makes it possible to embody geometric patterns that are considered the most fashionable today.
Choosing the best coverage
To make a blue jacket, hybrid varnishes have become more often used today, since they are inexpensive, and their durability is significantly higher than conventional counterparts. Made in accordance with all the rules of technology, such a manicure stays on the nails without the need for adjustment for up to 5 weeks. Moreover, regardless of the type of gel polish, it will always look fresh.
Matte and glossy finishes are considered the best types of varnish today. With sufficient pigmentation, they allow you to create a striking design without stripes and non-staining. Matte coatings with a textile effect have become fashionable novelties of the season. For example, they can create a suede-like surface, satin shimmering with light mother-of-pearl, and velvet.
If it is difficult to work with matte pigments due to their ability to leave streaks, then glossy lacquer products can also be used in the work.
To make the jacket matte, at the end it is enough to go over the nails with a matte top. To make it look expensive, you need to choose a material with a velvet texture.
In addition to matte and glossy varnishes, you can use pearlescent, chameleon, magnetic and jelly gel varnishes for French. However, in fairness, it should be noted that not all of them will be easy to work with, and some, even without thoughtful design, are able to simplify it. Therefore, the choice of a suitable material must be done in conjunction with the blue pigment. This will allow you to understand how two or three varnishes fit together externally, and whether they need each other.
Errors
It is worth highlighting the typical mistakes that can still be found in this or that design today. For example:
- the blue jacket on all ten nails of the hands should not have different lengths;
- the number of accent nails should not exceed four out of ten;
- you cannot use a dot pattern with gel polish and a scattering of sparkling decor in the design at the same time;
- the same pattern looks ugly on all accent nails;
- spoils the design and ineptness of drawing, and inaccuracy of execution;
- no jacket will be beautiful if you injure the skin around the nail plates;
- do not mix a jacket with several manicure techniques at the same time;
- it is undesirable to decorate nails with a pattern without taking into account the seasonality;
- you do not need to sculpt a large, and even more voluminous stucco pattern on short nails;
- you cannot create rough design options in an attempt to search for creativity.
It is important to understand that the jacket does not tolerate rudeness, and therefore options such as imitation of a naked butt, put up by some “masters” for the sake of likes on the Web, cannot be mistaken for something fashionable, inspired by new trends.
Design options
Turning to the question of the most appropriate and effective options for today, we can say with confidence: the trend is the unity of harmony, femininity and minimalism. According to the main idea of Italian fashion, you need to discard all unnecessary things - and you can see how this will ennoble the female image. French manicure with blue color can be decorated using different decor techniques. For example, the blue color is perfect for working with rubbing (a special manicure powder with a fine particle fraction).
If the design is based on a flesh or white base and a blue smile, then the background color can be slightly sprayed with pearl pollen. The design will only benefit from this, and rubbing in even better than pearlescent varnish will change the appearance of the background pigment. If the jacket has an accent nail painted completely over the entire area, it is possible to process it with rubbing. Rub the powder into a bright or dark blue color for a longer time, you can get a unique type of texture.
In addition to rubbing, today it is considered a fashionable jacket with accents decorated with hand drawings. Drawing on nails can now be performed in different techniques, but the most interesting option today is considered to be wet. This type of drawing looks like a drawing slightly drowning in the main background. Such a print looks especially gentle, to someone it may even seem watercolor. Draw similar images more often on an accent nail, without repeating them for greater expressiveness.
A blue jacket looks great with techniques such as veil, broken glass, powder, gradient. Each of them, decorating an accent nail of a French manicure, brings a special mood to the design. However, it may vary depending on the selected color schemes. For example, a design in a white and blue color scheme looks soft, black color, combined with silver, brings a certain solemnity to the design of nails.
So that a jacket in blue does not lose its nobility, it is worth considering not only the choice of varnishes, but also the quantity and location of the decor. For example, when choosing a patterned design, it is important to pay attention to better places to fix the sparkling decor. Sometimes small stones are not needed at all, and it is better to leave them for other options.
A top imitating raindrops can look beautiful on accent nails. You can decorate accent nails with a water technique using blue, black and white contrasts. And also the design of accent nails with stamping, silver kamifubuki, transparent or blue broths will also be harmonious.
You can use water stickers and sliders with different themes (from geometry to abstraction).
