Beautiful well-groomed legs are the property of every girl. It is wrong to think that a beautiful pedicure should be done only in the summer when you wear open sandals. In winter, marigolds also need care and protection. And who knows what awaits you tomorrow: an invitation to an exotic island or a hike in the pool.
Modern tendencies
Nail design has its own trends, as well as other areas of fashion. Whether to follow them or stick to the classics is your choice. Manufacturers who specialize in nail products do not get tired of surprising us with new textures, colors and effects.
To give an unusual shine and shine to any varnish or gel polish will help a tool called rub. This is a special fine powder that is manually distributed over the surface of the nail. The effect can be both mirror, and nacreous, and gold.
French is considered a classic option. But recent trends have transformed it a bit. You can try unusual combinations, for example, red and gold or black and silver. According to the technique of execution, it will not be anything different from the usual jacket, but it will look very different.
Lunar pedicure is a technique when the lunar region of the nail is left in a natural or white color. This is a zone near the base, which has a different shade and resembles a crescent shape. Today, it is often combined with a classic jacket to give the most natural look to the nails. This combination looks very natural and neat.
Broken glass. When you first look at the nail, it seems that there are glass fragments on it, iridescent with pearlescent shine. In fact, this is a foil, which the master in random order puts on the plate. The effect is impressive.
Komofubiki - a small round shine. They are not applied along with the varnish, but “planted” separately. This is a pretty jewelry job. But an experienced master will cope with it without difficulty. You can create an imitation of solar highlights, falling snowflakes or reflections on the surface of the water. At the request of the client from komofubiki make a wide strip or have them in one of the corners.
Shining pebbles always attract attention. Today you can find rhinestones of various shapes and colors. This allows craftsmen to lay out real masterpieces on their nails. But the modest options with 1-3 stones will look no less interesting.
Different colors of nails - one of the main trends in recent years. Previously, it was decided to paint all the nails in the same color. But now most beauties choose 2 primary colors for coloring. There are several options here. The first color covers all the nails except the big one, or 2 fingers on one foot are selected.
To make such a fashionable effect as "cat's eye" at home is quite difficult. In the same beauty salon you will be offered several options for the execution of this technique. As a result, you can get the effect of a sun strip or the illusion of 3D color deepening.
The glossy gloss of lacquer we are used to can be replaced by a muted matte color. This is achieved by finishing the coating. Thus, using the same varnish (gel varnish), you can achieve completely different results. It looks interesting combination of matte and glossy effect on one leg. In matte finish there is only one drawback - light colors are quite brandy.
Decorative elements have firmly taken their place in the design of nails.Do not think that they are used only for delicate hands. Pedicure with the use of stones looks very expensive and elegant. At will, you can choose transparent, pearl or those that resemble real gems.
One of the latest trends is color changing lacquer. Such a reaction occurs when exposed to different temperatures. The game of color is literally mesmerizing. It seems that this is some kind of magic. It is necessary to go out in the cold, and the nails will get another shade. If you leave the free edge of the nail, due to the temperature difference, it will also have a different color.
“Sugar” pedicure has a sweet name and no less striking effect. Have you ever dipped a wet finger in a bowl of sugar? At the same time, the grains of sand immediately stuck to the nail. The same effect is achieved with the help of this technique. Small grains completely cover the entire nail. But you should not be afraid that they will disappear or melt.
Color combinations
No matter how practical and versatile monophonic pedicure, sometimes you want to diversify it. The combination of several shades fully satisfies this desire. There are no clear rules here, but there are time-tested classical “unions” of colors, which will always be relevant.
White and black - a classic that will always be in fashion. In addition, this combination is suitable for a strict office dress code. Options for using it on the nails weight. You can make an interesting contrasting gradient or draw delicate white flowers on a black background. Geometric drawings will look especially strictly.
Pink and red are suitable for both romantic young ladies, and for passionate natures. It all depends on the proportion in which you will use one and another color. Both one and the second color, there are thousands of shades. When combined, it is important to understand that not all of them are ideally suited to each other.
Beige and brown are associated with respectability and good taste. No wonder they are the basis of most successful interiors. It is not necessary to come up with complex combinations, you can simply paint one or two nails in beige, the rest in brown, or vice versa.
Turquoise and black - quite a bright combination. On the nails, it looks very fresh and summer-like. One of the winning options for its use - it is black patterns on a turquoise background. No one can accuse you of banality and boring choice.
The luxury and wealth of gold and silver speak for themselves. It is important not to overdo it with their use, otherwise together with an elegant pedicure you will get a Christmas-tree decoration. Use them as accents.
What kind of shades to choose depends on your desire and imagination. The main condition is that they do not merge. This is important when applying patterns or patterns. If you can not decide what combinations will look advantageous, use the color wheel. Shades that are opposite each other, will always be perfectly combined.
Everyone understands that red is not one color, but thousands of its variations. On this similarity, you can get interesting design options. Often they are used with the ombre technique or gradient, when one shade smoothly flows into another.
How to pick up?
Not only our taste preferences dictate the choice of a particular pedicure. There are other factors to consider. For example, a wedding pedicure should emphasize the solemnity of the moment, but be gentle at the same time.
Bright sun, green grass and beautiful flowers are all integral elements of the summer season. Do not be afraid to transfer them to the nails. Let them also create a bright and cheerful mood. Floral prints and rich colors are perfect for a summer pedicure.
In order to look topical and stylish in the fall, take a closer look at the colors in which nature “changes”: yellow, red, brown, but not saturated, but slightly muted.It will also be appropriate gold, because it is not for nothing that such an epithet calls for autumn in many verses and songs.
In winter, cold shades are appropriate: white, blue, blue, gray. You can add bright elements: stars, snowflakes, winter patterns. And, of course, silver and pearl white glitter will be most welcome. Such a pedicure will be both sustained and bright at the same time.
Spring pedicure is romance and freshness. Delicate flower drawings or patterns with a thin brush will give it unusual and original. As for shades, they should be bright. Remember the delicate green color of young greens or delicate shades of flower buds.
On your day, you want to shine, and no one can forbid you to do this. Let the pedicure be joyful and bright. If you are organizing a themed birthday, then it should emphasize and correspond to the holiday.
Wedding is a special day for every girl, so all the details and elements of the image should be thought out in advance. The classic option would be a white pedicure or jacket. He will not distract attention, while maintaining the style of a white dress.
Pay special attention to the legs is necessary especially in the summer. If you are invited to a celebration and you are going to wear sandals, then the pedicure should ideally fit the chosen outfit. If the legs are closed, then it is optional to select a design.
Little beauties tend to be like their favorite mummies in everything. Do not deny them the pleasure. Bright berries and hearts on children's legs look especially touching. Pay special attention to the quality of materials.
If you are going to spend a vacation on a warm sea, it would be appropriate to display this theme on your legs. It is difficult to come up with a better combination than slippers and a neat marine pedicure. You can use waves, rhinestones, anchors or draw shells and a wind rose.
Design examples
List all existing examples of design is impossible. After all, every master wants to emphasize their own individuality and do not just a neat pedicure, but also a unique one.
Stickers greatly simplify the work of the master. At the same time, you can choose absolutely any plot - whether it will be funny images of ice cream and cartoon characters or sophisticated complex patterns, everything depends on your desire.
You should not make too small drawings, as they will not be visible on the nails or will merge into one color spot. For the rest, there are no restrictions.
Gzhel is a combination of white and blue that was familiar from childhood; it is applicable not only to porcelain, but also in pedicure. Try this original design too. It will be enough to paint the thumb, and on the rest to make only small characteristic strokes.
Another interesting color combination is the rainbow. Each finger is painted in one color of the rainbow spectrum. You can complicate the task and make a rainbow gradient that will flow from one finger to another.
Floral motifs can be chic and bright or very tender and romantic. Pick those that are more suited to your mood and character. A skilled master is able to register even the smallest details, the overall picture only benefits from this.
Ethnic and complex patterns and the presence of several colors impose their limitations. It should be borne in mind that a pedicure should be combined with the whole image, and not be separated from it. Therefore, when choosing this exotic design, think about how and with what you will wear it.
You can use seashells, but not just painted marine elements, but a three-dimensional design that imitates them. Since the nails on the legs are rather small, it would be appropriate to make such a shell only on the big toe.
Not only the drawings have a place on our nails. You can, for example, make the inscription in a beautiful calligraphic font.Logos of famous brands can flaunt not only on clothes, but also on nails.
You can use stains. Putting on the nail a few drops of different varnish, the master is armed with a thin brush, and real magic happens. Plain spots turn into exquisite divorces, claiming to be the real masterpieces of high art.
A smooth transition from one shade to another is a complex technique for which you need to use a special sprayer. In this case, the transition can be either horizontal or vertical, or diagonal.
