Classic flesh nail design is expressive, suitable for most women, regardless of age and type of appearance. For owners of different shapes of nail plates, the beige color will help to hide the unevenness of the bed, correct the shape of the apex and visually change the length.
Features of manicure in flesh color for short and long nails
For short nails of oval or square shapes, dark shades of beige are selected. Medium-length manicure will remain in fashion, which can be not only arched.
There are many nail art ideas:
- It is more difficult to create a bright design on a short bed, so a basic "canvas" is necessary for painting. They will be beige camouflage lacquer color to match the skin.

Who should choose a flesh-colored manicure and when
Some of these shades are suitable for women with slender fingers and a slender build. Shades of pink are selected in a range of neutral colors. Warm-toned pigmented varnishes and gels are suitable for swarthy girls with dark hair.
Flesh-colored nail design can be done both for daily wear (work, study) and for going out (restaurant, event, meeting with friends or colleagues).
A kind of matte manicure gives the nails a well-groomed look. There is no room for excess. The effect of velvet or cashmere allows you to create an unusual pattern, a classic design, or combine it with rhinestones.
Matte or glossy?
The gloss when covering nails with gel polish or camouflage base should be perfectly even, with beautiful highlights. It is not recommended to use a lot of decorations, as the surface itself looks elegant, but restrained. Matte gel polish favorably emphasizes the depth of a monochromatic manicure. They differ in composition, polymerization and appearance.
Manicure with gel polish and Shellac
Shellac is a gel polish produced by the CND brand (and not only). In terms of composition, it is a hybrid with innovative components. The application technique is different from gel polish.
The latter is obtained by cleaning from resins and impurities. Shellac, in turn, does not have the same amount of polymers, so the surface gloss often resembles a satin overflow effect. In an ordinary gel polish, there will definitely be mica, which is responsible for that spectrum of bright flickering rays.
The difference in application techniques is also present:
- The gel polish is applied to the IBX products to protect the nail bed and the base, sealing the free edge of the nail.To obtain a deep and even color, the procedure is sometimes repeated with several layers. Then the finish is applied and the sticky layer is removed. Drying will take about 30 seconds.
- Shellac is applied to the base in 1 or 2 coats, depending on the desired result. Drying of each layer takes about 2 minutes in a 36W lamp.
Isopropyl alcohol strips the topcoat off the shellac. It does not require additional protection like a gel structure.

The main options are:
The classic jacket is a pink nail bed and a white free edge. The simple, graceful design looks beautiful on any nail shape.- Beverly French is a smoothing of the contrast line between the base color of the nail and the free edge. A translucent coating is used. It is used more often in the technique of building up with a gel or polygel in a combined manicure when cutting out a smile line.
- Contrast smoothing can be used when applying gel polish. The finishing layer will be a coating with the addition of a glitter pigment to "dilute" the color junction area. It masks imperfections by smoothing the surface of the stock.
- Decorative jacket - shades of beige, other colors, combined with the main tone, are allowed. Allocate a geometric, gradient jacket with an asymmetric pattern in the area of the arc or plate.
The free edge can be multi-colored, with rhinestones or other decorations, made in different techniques. The combination matte gradient is popular in nail design. The marble effect is used in the technique of geometric patterns.
Lunar manicure implies the classic painting technique, where the main bright "spot" remains the hole at the base of the nail plate. The fashion trend is focused on the use of vibrant colors that create contrast between the main background and the highlight. The base joint is decorated with rhinestones or threads - special gels "spider".
Ombre and gradient
A manicure with a gradient effect can be done in 2 techniques.

- Gradient where the arrowhead is blurred into a nice background color.
- Adhesive threads in a combination of lace stickers.
- Drip stylish designs.

To create confetti on nails with a fine rash for a beige manicure, neutral monochromatic tones, bright and combined, are suitable.
You can perform the procedure in 2 techniques: rubbing in and sprinkling.

The difference from rubbing and sprinkling is that yuka flakes can be applied both as fine powder and in the technique of light spraying. Both methods have a different effect on the texture of the design.
Chameleon flakes look beautiful under a matte top. The design can be fixed with any pigment coating. For example, the northern lights or holographic coverings. Flakes do not grow cloudy under tops, do not change color. For overlap, you can use different shades of gel polishes.

Monogram
Flesh-colored nail designs using the monogram technique are combined textures and shades of neutral tones. They are created using gel polish with or without acrylic powder. Matte or glossy effects can be achieved.
Knitted patterns
It involves the application of a volumetric pattern using gels or acrylics. With the help of a thin brush, an ornament is applied, covered immediately with powder without drying. Remains are removed. The effect is fixed with a top without a sticky layer.
Small drawings
The minimalism style can be used in different techniques. At the same time, not only bright colors are added, but also decorative elements in the form of fruits, stickers, stripes.
This is not a limitation in materials, but the use of design structures:
