Green manicure: fashion trends and tips from stylists

Among the wide range of color palettes, the modern nail industry boasts a huge variety. Each color is subdivided into hundreds of tones, differing from each other at various levels. Green is one of the most popular shades in nail design.

In addition to fashionable modern combinations, green can also be an original base for creating an exclusive look. Such a gel polish manicure is very popular and widespread among the female half of the population.

The peculiarity of green manicure is that it fits perfectly into both summer and winter styles, as a base for both short and long nails, as well as for everyday life and for celebrating a celebration. Thus, green is the most optimal choice for every fashionista who wants to stand out among the crowd thanks to a bright image and sophisticated manicure.

With a classic manicure, combinations of light green with shades of pink or nude, lemon and blue will be appropriate. The dark green color of the lacquer will be in harmony with gray, black, gold and silver lacquers.

In everyday trips to school, work, interviews, the female half of humanity prefers a cold monochromatic manicure. This is justified by the fact that it is inappropriate to go to an important interview or exam with a bright, defiant manicure.

Beautiful smooth gradient. In simple terms, this means that a darker color transitions to a brighter one. This design is achieved in two ways.

• Applying different shades on different nails.
• Mixing several colors of varnishes on one nail using a triangular sponge. Such a manicure is done not only in salon conditions with free time and patience. For easier mixing of several shades, the sponge should be wet. On its surface, shades of varnish are applied in several strips. They should overlap a little.

For romantic dates, you can use a glitter base. For effective mixing of several colors, it is recommended to initially pat the plastic with a sponge, after which you can apply the varnish to the nail plate.

Cat's eye. Manicure is so called because of the precious stone, in the middle of which there is a narrow shiny strip, which is called "cat's eye". After creating a coating with metal particles, the nail industry invented this imitation of the effect on nails.

After applying the base, a small magnet is brought to the nail with a dry composition, as a result of which various prints are formed: waves, longitudinal, diagonal and transverse stripes. Depending on the shape of the magnet, a pattern appears on the surface of the nail. Thanks to this, its surface takes on the appearance of a precious stone.
