Beautiful and unexpected options for creating a monochromatic pedicure
Even a monotonous pedicure can be attractive if you follow current fashion trends. When choosing a design, first of all, you should pay attention to what shades are most in demand at the moment.
Brief background
For the first time, data on the use of paint on nails appeared in scrolls created 600 years ago. Chinese girls have always demonstrated their love for jewelry and sophistication of taste, until old age they used to take care of themselves and look great.
The first color shades that began to show off on women's nails were silver and gold. They were a sign of beauty, chic, and gave a special mood alongside.
A little later, two contrasting shades emerged: black and red. It was believed that a pedicure performed with their presence is the most exquisite. In addition, there was an aesthetic component in the choice of fashionistas - these two colors perfectly hid defects and dirt under the nails.
Along with the development of the cosmetic industry, varnishes and other coatings of various colors appeared on the market. Manufacturers began to mix colors to create a new shade.
What is fashionable now?
If we talk about a monotonous pedicure, then it has its own charm. Nails can act as a canvas for painting: regardless of the main color, you can always apply a drawing, add additional decorative elements.
Today it has become especially popular to use:
- foil;
- rhinestones;
- lace;
- stencils;
- stickers;
- beads.
Bright and well-designed toenails always grab the attention of those around them. Today, neon shades are in trend, bright coatings that immediately catch the eye.Women paint their nails in different colors, create incredible combinations, achieve special contrast. The combination of black with red and white remains in demand.
Hot summer dictates new trends: variegated nails, rounded shapes have appeared in fashion. All shades of red were shown on the podium, in the spring the girls preferred dark blue and burgundy. As a nice addition - gold sequins and rhinestones, decorated with a pattern or simply glued in a different order.
This year there were special requirements for a pedicure. It should be made in the same colors as the manicure, but its design is by no means repeated. Neon pink and other, not quite familiar colors looked bright and special. For example, mint, bright yellow, lemon and other shades. It's time to be bolder, that's why stylists offer the appropriate colors.
Advantages and disadvantages
One of the main advantages of a monochromatic pedicure is its simplicity - any girl can create such a design on her feet, after all, it is enough to choose the desired color.
But there are also several disadvantages. For example, a monotonous pedicure requires special attention: the correction will need to be done every few weeks, otherwise the regrown nail will ruin the whole impression. You can do a moon pedicure to hide this flaw.
Increasingly, the upper part of the nail is covered with a large amount of rhinestones, which can be glued if necessary.
Bright options
As a rule, women start to think about design in the spring, when it comes time to change shoes into open shoes. Stylists ask not only to apply varnish to nails, but to take into account the style, lifestyle, mood.
If we talk about the classic combination of white and black, then it is universal and suitable for both business suits and evening dresses, regardless of length and design. Black, burgundy and a little-known shade of Marsala also look good.
Today they have become especially in demand:
- drawings;
- French pedicure;
- inscriptions;
- patterns.
The drawing can be applied not to all fingers, but only to the thumb or ring. They look good on the little finger.
For the office and everyday life, a French pedicure is great. A small jacket can be of any color. Small crystals always look appropriate here.
If you want to impress, then you should pay attention to the predominance of gold on the nails. Gold glitter looks especially gorgeous on matte black. Silver is best combined with white and mint hues.
Particular attention is paid to drawings. In spring and summer, girls like to apply modest daisies and alluring poppies, bouquets of roses and chrysanthemums bloom on their hands, delicate cornflowers flaunt. In winter, the picture changes, and snowmen, Christmas trees and toys fervently look from their nails. Snowflakes are popular.
Patterns can be laid out with crystals, brought out gently with a thin brush. Black lace looks good on almost any tone. Not so long ago, ombre and gradient conquered the hearts of modern nail designers. Only now the colors must be bright, saturated. Overflow does not go out of fashion - in this case, the black shade turns into red, the matte color - into gloss.
Today's most popular designs include peacock feathers, nautical themes, and butterflies. The girls really liked the aquarium technique, when the nails on the thumbs look like a real aquarium, behind the thick walls of which fish and other inhabitants of the water space live.
