Yellow French manicure: a variety of designs and a choice of techniques
In the modern world, manicure is one of the main signs of grooming and neatness not only for women, but also for men. And if it is enough for a man to just have clean, neat and trimmed nails, then women, due to their nature, want to be distinguished by uniqueness and extravagance. This concerns not only clothes and hairstyles, but also the appearance of nails.
Fortunately, today the fair sex can choose not only the color of the nail coating, but also the technique, in which the decoration will be performed. This season, fashion trends pay special attention to yellow and its most diverse shades. On the Internet, you can already find many variations of manicure, which will be in trend in the spring - summer of 2019. There are many ideas for both long and short nails in any shape, from square to round. Not without the immortal classics in the French technique.
Yellow French manicure will be an interesting solution for those who remain faithful to the classics, while still managing to follow the new fashion trends.
Advice
First of all, you need to talk about what to look for when choosing a yellow nail color.
- Too long nails have long gone out of fashion and, moreover, "give off" vulgarity. Better to opt for short ends. Do not be afraid that such a manicure will get lost and go unnoticed - a bright yellow color will place all the necessary accents and attract due attention to itself.
- As for the shape, an oval or slightly rounded shape is best for yellow shades. Forget about square and sharp triangular nails.Almond-shaped nails, which, in combination with a short length, will look extremely ridiculous, will also turn out to be quite unpleasant.
- Say yes to the decor and feel free to let your imagination run wild. This season, it is recommended to combine all kinds of finishing options: from rhinestones and relief to accents in color and all kinds of patterns, prints.
Color matching rules
It would be a mistake to believe that there are any rules for combining yellow with the rest of the colors of the gamut. The only rule is the complete absence of any rules. It is permissible to combine yellow with your favorite colors, only the correct selection of shades and tones of yellow is important. So, warm shades of yellow are perfectly combined with the same colors that personify calmness and comfort. Orange, light green and red colors look beautiful with warm shades of yellow.
Cool yellow tones, respectively, are in perfect harmony with the same shades of other colors. This category includes shades of blue, pink, gray and lilac.
Fashion ideas
Despite its apparent simplicity, French manicure, and even yellow, can be a real boon. You are mistaken if you think that a jacket is boring and monotonous. A skilled craftsman is able to create an original and unique design of your nails, combining different shades of yellow, using interesting prints, complementing the bright yellow design with all kinds of ornaments and ornate patterns.
The 21st century is a century of breaking all templates and stereotypes. Such changes could not ignore the "nail" industry, which, like a sponge, absorbs all the newfangled tendencies and trends. Once, having taken a risk and deviated from the canons in creating a jacket, you can get an original design, which at the same time will remain true to traditions. So, the classic French "smile" can be placed not only from below, but also from above (by analogy with a moon manicure). An interesting, but no less beautiful solution can be the use of a print or decoration on the yellow tip of the nails, made in the style of a jacket.
By the way, you don't have to do a yellow French manicure on all your fingernails. It has long become traditional to cover one or more nails with a solid color or apply catchy contrasting patterns. It is not necessary, or even desirable, to bind to a particular symmetry.
Flowers look catchy and unusual in combination with a yellow jacket, be it small white daisies, carelessly "scattered" on the nails, or one large one that occupies all the free space of the nail plate.
Variegated sunflowers, as well as bouquets and flower arrangements of red, orange, green, purple and brown shades look spectacular on the nails. For more relaxed options, you can opt for pastel and neon floral prints.
The more varied the arsenal of the master's tools, the more interesting and unusual the nail design will turn out. Single flowers, prints and flower arrangements can be depicted in a variety of ways.
- Dots. This indispensable tool depicts ordinary flowers with three to five round petals. Depending on the diameter of the dots head, both very small and large flowers can be applied. Dots is very easy to use: just dip the head of the desired size in varnish and form a flower using point movements.
- Brushes. Before painting flowers with a brush, it's best to practice a little. With a little experience, you can start drawing flower arrangements of various shapes and types. A thin brush is better for depicting the flower itself, and a fan brush is better for giving the petals a visual volume by using several shades of the same color. The fan brush is also used for delicate Chinese painting.
- Airbrush. Sprayed flowers, especially those with light shades, look very beautiful on the nails.
- Stamping. The advantages of this tool can hardly be overestimated. If you have the necessary discs and plates with floral engravings, you can easily, and most importantly, very quickly, create a beautiful nail design.
- Decor elements. The modern variety and availability of nail art decorations allows you to create interesting and unique images on your nails. To create flowers, you can use rhinestones of different sizes, broths, sequins and even stucco.
Not always, an original and unique design on nails requires special skills and the presence of expensive tools. So, using a small piece of foil or simple polyethylene, you can make a manicure in the style of broken glass on your nails. For this, foil or polyethylene is cut into triangles of different sizes. The resulting "fragments" can be glued both directly on the yellow strip of the jacket, and on the entire plate against the background of a monochromatic coating.
Use of decor in combination with yellow French manicure
Even the most simple and uncomplicated nail design can be made special and unique, emphasizing its sophistication and elegance. Manufacturers offer our attention a lot of all kinds of jewelry, with which you can create an incredibly beautiful and unique nail design based on a yellow French manicure.
- Rhinestones. Today you can find "pebbles" of different colors and all kinds of shapes. In addition to the usual silver and other solid colors, you can use rhinestones made of high quality acrylic with a hologram effect.
- Silver or golden crystal chips will give your nails a beautiful and mesmerizing shine.
- Fimo. The use of this type of jewelry not only greatly simplifies the work on creating a design, but also opens up almost endless possibilities for the implementation of your most daring ideas. A variety of hearts, bows, butterflies and especially all kinds of fruits will be a great addition to a French manicure in yellow.
- Beads, pebbles, pearls and broths still remain in trend, because with their help the design acquires a special charm. Often, the use of these elements plays a key role in the creation of nail designs.
Of course, French manicure, and especially yellow manicure, attracts attention with its originality without any decorations, but one should not neglect such a wide arsenal of tools and materials. No one argues that the classics always remain in fashion, but brightness, catchiness and outrageousness are the key characteristics of the upcoming season, which should not be left without due attention. Be bold, because decorations and bright elements are appropriate not only for the holidays, but also in everyday life.
