How to get a pedicure for a seaside holiday?

When going on vacation, it is important not to forget a single detail. This is especially true for all the nuances of appearance. Open legs in summer flip-flops and sandals should look amazing so that their happy owner feels as comfortable and confident as possible. The article will discuss what kind of pedicure is best done before going to the sea.

Cosmetologists and doctors advise not to paint your nails with varnish on vacation in order to give an opportunity to rest for all, without exception, body parts. But ardent fashionistas cannot agree with this statement and are looking for a special design suitable for this wonderful occasion.

If the appearance of the nails is determined in accordance with the taste of the future owner, then the properties of a beach pedicure must meet certain requirements.

1. Persistence. A trip to warmer regions, as a rule, takes quite a long time. And I don’t want to waste time looking for a pedicure master, and I don’t want to spend time on the creation process during the rest. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of the condition of the nails in advance, directing the beauty just before the road. The main thing is to choose the optimal durable coating that will withstand the tests of water, sun and long walks. Regular varnish is unlikely to be the best solution.
2. Nails should not be too long. There are many hazards to your feet on the beach: rocks on the shore and underwater, steep slopes in unfamiliar terrain. All this can cause damage if the nail plate protrudes too much forward.
3. A pedicure idea should accommodate most of your outfits, swimwear, and shoes. Every woman wants to feel irresistible, especially on vacation. But the whole image can be spoiled by the varnish on the legs that clearly does not fall into the subject. Therefore, in advance, review the wardrobe that you will take with you and find the best idea for a pedicure.
4. Nail design shouldn't be too complicated. Additional elements in the form of rhinestones, stones or other voluminous jewelry can fall off and fail at the most unpredictable moment. It is certainly beautiful, but not practical. After all, on vacation you are far from your beloved master.

Let's consider in more detail the options for decorative coating of toenails.

Everyone has different means and possibilities, so we will consider the widespread coatings for the nail plate and analyze the possibilities of their use for a beach pedicure.

Such a remedy can be found in every girl's house. It also has its merits.

• Low cost. Before the vacation, you can purchase at least ten bottles without causing significant damage to the budget.
• Rich color palette. If you wish, you can wash it every day and apply a new color.
• Takes up little space in your purse. This is an important quality, because you should go on vacation as light as possible so as not to burden yourself with unnecessary problems.
• Easy and quick to apply. A pedicure can be done in a matter of minutes.

But traditional nail polish has some disadvantages as well.

• Poorly holding on. After several baths in the pond, the coating on your toenails may completely lose its attractive appearance.
• If you are not satisfied with the appearance of your nail plate, this varnish will not fix this problem in any way.

Now this nail plate coating is at the height of fashion. It is very durable and beautiful. Let's consider its main advantages.

• Excellent durability. Such varnish lasts up to three weeks.
• Large selection of colors and effects. Coming to the master or visiting the salon where these materials are sold, you can let your imagination run wild.
• With it, you can strengthen a weak nail plate so that it is not afraid of pebbles on the beach, walking and ultraviolet light.

Despite its significant advantages, gel polish has its drawbacks.

• To make a pedicure based on this remedy, certain financial costs are required. And the more they are, the more complex the design and the higher the qualifications of the master.
• It is difficult to spoil such work by external factors, but if a piece breaks off or the coating is scratched, it cannot be quickly fixed. You will have to look for a master on the spot, or, in general, take on the road with you both varnish and a special lamp with ultraviolet rays to correct the costs of vacation.
• Time consuming. You need to spend a sufficient amount of time on such a pedicure, and to make a nail design, you will need even more of it.
• In order to cover the nails with this varnish or to remove it, they must be carefully sanded.

• It is believed that the nails do not breathe under the layer of this agent, which causes some damage to their condition.

Initially, only with its help, nails were extended (up to gel polish). So, what are its advantages:

• natural look;
• nails are strong, elastic and thin;
• it is easy to remove such a pedicure by simply dipping your feet into a special solution;
• the master will very easily repair the damage.

Disadvantages:

• nails under this layer do not breathe;
• strong unpleasant odor of the product;
• the possibility of allergies;
• a master is needed to correct such a pedicure.

The question remains about the appearance of toenails. Next, we will talk about what colors are in trend now, and why to choose them.

When a girl wants to look her best on vacation, you need to provide for the color of the pedicure. What principles for his choice can be used, we will consider further.

1. It is better to paint nails in the same style on both hands and feet. The difference in appearance will be too striking, since all these parts of the body are open on vacation, and their inharmonious combination can spoil the overall impression.
2. For lovers of bright colors, the best option would be to use a bright pedicure, contrasting shoes and a swimsuit.
3. If you want to look more restrained, you can make your image in one color scheme: nails and clothes will be similar in color.
4. A great option is a pedicure in subtle neutral tones such as French. It will fit the entire wardrobe, and will also give you the opportunity to go to work right after the rest, without worrying about repainting your nails.

These are basic tips to make your choice easier. Now let's talk about the main possible ideas for inspiration.

On vacation, you want to look great, but there are so many options for a pedicure that your eyes dazzle. Let's list some of the main trends in the right direction in the choice.

• Monochrome. It's a classic, and a pretty straightforward solution. Color choice is the only problem in this business. The matter is small - to revise the wardrobe and shoes, thinking over the future shade. You can also alternate colors: several nails with one, and the rest with contrasting ones.

• Pedicure with negative space. Recently, this fashionable trend is often used, but it looks very unusual.

• Neutral French nails. They mean either classic white-pink tones, or the inclusion of unusual shades. In any case, such a coating looks appropriate in all cases.

• Marine theme. Very important for vacation. Various patterns are depicted on the nails: the image of waves, anchors, stripes like on a vest. The flight of fantasy is simply enormous.

• Tropical patterns. If you are driving far to the south, the images of outlandish trees, parrots, exotic fruits on your nails will delight the eye for a long time.

• Gradient. A smooth transition from the darkest shade to the lightest and vice versa looks very beautiful on well-groomed toenails.

• Sequins and rhinestones. Although these elements can easily fall off, this does not detract from their dazzlingly beautiful shine in the sun.

• Flowers. For lovers of floristry, flower patterns on the legs will delight the eye in a pleasant vacation atmosphere.

The experts provide some tips for pedicure care on vacation.

1. A pedicure must be done one or two days before departure, so that all micro-injuries have time to heal.
2. It is necessary to take a cuticle moisturizer with you on the road. If it dries out under the influence of wind and sun, it will be ugly to frame the nail plates.
3. It will be important to use a foot cream with a high degree of UV protection.
4. If the nail is broken or the coating is damaged, the defect must be filed and covered with clear varnish. Unhealthy bacteria can accumulate in irregularities if you do not follow your own hygiene in time.
