Women often resort to various shades of pink in their clothes and nails. Romantic and elegant designs in pale pink color are in trend. Photos with decor variations can be selected on the Internet and brought to life at home.

Pink shades are the perfect backdrop for white 3D monograms or 3D sliders. These manicures are perfect for creating a romantic look, for wedding designs at any time of the year.

General recommendations

The pale pink nail design (photo below) is versatile and fits any nail shape. These shades serve as the basis for the classic jacket. This design is perfect for office manicure, which can be done on any nail length.

In addition, holographic foil prints look bright against the pink background. For this, it is recommended to purchase a special foil glue. On a thin layer of glue, after drying in the air for about 2 minutes, drawings with a multi-colored overflow are well printed.

The soft pink designs go well with rhinestones. In 2019, thin threads of stones and broths in the area near the cuticle or on one of the lateral sides of the nail remain in fashion. To make the inlay tender, transparent or holographic rhinestones are inserted into it and surround them with white metal broths.

As a rule, the decor consists of one large stone and 2-3 smaller ones.

Broths fill all the space between the crystals or expose them pointwise. It all depends on the desire of the owner of the manicure and the conditions in which the design will be used. When densely filled with broths, the inlay becomes stronger and more durable in wear.

Techniques and methods

Modern polymeric materials allow you to create new design variations, combining existing nail art techniques and creating new ones. Trends are created and put into practice at international manicure competitions. New materials can be found at trade fairs, where manufacturers demonstrate new products and conduct master classes on their use.

Not all nail art techniques are adapted for home use. Some require expensive materials, others require special equipment. There are a number of classic techniques available to DIYers.

Techniques for creating pale pink designs at home:

The combination of these techniques and the minimum amount of materials will allow the DIYer to bring their design fantasies to life.

Options in different shades

A pale pink nail design (photos of possible options are presented below) does not necessarily mean a boring solid color. Masters recommend choosing a design style and choosing shades. For example, use pastel colors for delicate designs, and rich neon shades of pink for bright summer manicures.

From any pigmented varnish at home, you can get a line of pastel shades by adding white gel varnish. The more white you add, the lighter the shade will be. Fashionable combinations for 2019 are considered to be a combination of pink and gray, as well as pink and blue.

Abstract design technology

1. Put your favorite varnish colors on the palette. If necessary, make batches to obtain the desired shades.
2. Treat the nail - make a manicure, apply a degreaser, primer and base coat, dry in an ICE lamp for 30 seconds.
3. Draw straight multi-colored lines on the palette.
4. Mix colors in an abstract pattern with dots or orange stick (do not mix the shades too much, so as not to get a single color spot).
5. Apply varnish on an ombre brush and distribute without pressure over the nail until the nail area is completely covered.
6. With a thin brush, you can correct the drawing, add the desired color, dry in a lamp for 60 seconds.
7. Cover the design with a top and dry for 30 seconds, if necessary, remove the sticky layer with a degreaser.

For home craftsmen, a method is suitable when an abstract drawing is transferred from a palette using a silicone stamp.

To do this, the stamp pillow, with a rolling motion, takes the drawing from the palette and prints it on the nail in the same way. When working, do not press the stamp strongly against the plane, so as not to destroy the delicate interweaving of colored lines. This method is often used in salons as a speed design.

Also, such a background is used for printing foil and drawing flowers and butterflies with thin lines. Additional decoration turns delicate designs into festive and bright ones. Glitter lovers often complement them with holographic rhinestones.

Pink color in any undertone is successfully combined with turquoise, white, gray, beige shades. These colors combine beautifully in both the gradient and the imitation of stone texture, which is especially relevant in 2019.

Matte manicure

Matte designs have been in trend for several years now. On pink finishes, the use of a matte top has a special effect that is elegant and simple. The surface without a glossy shine serves as an ideal background for attaching rhinestones, favorably emphasizes their shine and play of light in the edges of the stone.

A pale pink nail design (photos of exquisite designs in combination with different decor and subtle drawings are especially popular among salon clients) is simply created by applying a high-quality top coat with a matting effect.

The disadvantage of these designs is their poor abrasion resistance. For some brands, the matting effect lasts no longer than a week, and then gloss appears. Each master chooses his favorite tops, calculating them empirically.

These designs are popular with women of all ages as they are classic nail art. They are appropriate both in the office and in educational institutions. Harmoniously combined with any style of clothing. Without a glossy sheen, pink manicure looks sophisticated, attracts attention with its simplicity and elegance.

Variants with patterns and drawings

Nail design (a pale pink photo-drawing can be simply transferred to the surface of the nail) with the help of sliders is especially popular among masters. Not everyone knows how to masterfully paint with a thin brush on nails. Sliders allow you to decorate nails with complex designs with a large number of shades without the artistic skills of a manicure master.

As a rule, floristry is used for pale pink designs. Photographs of flowers, printed on thin film, can consist of several shades of pink with finely tinted petals, which is difficult to do manually.

How to attach a water slider

1. Cut the drawing with nail scissors.
2. Dip the cut fragment into a container with a small amount of water (a saucer with 3 teaspoons of liquid or a damp sponge).
3. After color coating and drying (30 sec), remove the sticky layer with a dehydrator.
4. Using tweezers, slide the printed film from the cardboard base and transfer to the nail. Place in the right place and smooth over the surface with a silicone brush or orange stick.
5. Top with two layers of top, drying each layer for 30 seconds.

A monochromatic pattern on the pink background of the nail is transferred using the stamping technique. For delicate designs, white, silver and gold stamping varnishes are used. After that, the designs are decorated with sequins or rhinestones. In addition to paints, masters use dry pigments.

Depending on the size of the particles, they are well distributed over the plate and removed with a silicone stamp. A more contrasting pattern made with stamping with pigments looks against a pale pink background with a matting effect.

Stamping steps at home

1. Prepare the nail with a manicure and apply a base color to match the design.
2. After drying, remove the dispersion layer with a lint-free cloth and degreaser. Also process the drawing on the engraved plate.
3. Clean the stamp with adhesive tape. At home, use office tape.
4. Spread the paint or varnish over the pattern on the plate with a scraper. Monitor the quality of filling the furrows.
5. Transfer the pattern to the plane of the stamp with a rolling motion, firmly pressing the silicone pad to the surface of the plate.
6. Turn the stamp over, try on the drawing to the plane through its end. The excess can be removed with tape. Then roll the pattern onto the nail, fix it in the ICE lamp for 30 seconds.
7. Cover the design with a top layer and dry for 30 seconds.

The peculiarity of special varnishes for stamping is the quick drying of the material, so you need to quickly transfer the pattern from the plate. For beginners, it is recommended to use stamping gel paint, which does not dry out without drying in a lamp. This will increase the time at all stages of stamping.

Decor ideas

A manicure in pink tones is a suitable base for a variety of decor. All shades of delicate color are combined with both gold and silver decor elements.

Options for decorating a pale pink manicure at home:

• glitter gradient;
• kamifubuki (round, rhombuses, stars, crescents, butterflies);
• rhinestones (white, multi-colored, holographic);
• voluminous drawings sprinkled with acrylic powder;
• printing of silver or gold foil;
• self-adhesive tapes.

The most time consuming process of the above is the creation of three-dimensional drawings. Drawings of monograms or floristry (stencil roses), which are sprinkled on top with white or holographic acrylic powder, are used as the basic background. As a powder, you can choose any color of the powder you want.

The easiest way is to decorate with self-adhesive tapes. With their help, strict and elegant geometric designs are created. In such compositions, small crystals are appropriate (size ss3).

Technique for applying acrylic powder

1. Prepare the nail for color varnish coating - manicure, dehydrator, primer and base coat with alignment of the nail plate.
2. Apply the first layer of the selected pink shade, dry for 30 seconds and duplicate with a second layer, painting over the cuticle. Dry in an ICE lamp for 30 sec.
3. Remove the sticky (dispersion) layer of color gel polish with a dehydrator.
4. Cover nails with a top without a sticky layer, in a lamp for 30 seconds.
5. Draw with a thin brush (flowers, butterflies, monograms). The lines of the drawing should be high and voluminous, not spread over the background. Dry for 10 sec.
6. Sprinkle the drawing on top using a pusher or fan brush, gently shake off the excess and hold your hand in the air for 1-2 minutes, dry in a lamp for at least 30 seconds.
7. Clean the design from unattached acrylic particles with a stiff brush.

Such designs do not overlap with a finishing layer on top, the surface of the pattern remains convex and rough. Design features should be taken into account by those who strive to scratch their nails and do not tolerate irregularities in the manicure. With such character traits, it is not recommended to carry out a volumetric drawing.

If the design gets dirty during wear, it is cleaned with soapy water and a hard brush. As a rule, such designs are created for special events (wedding, anniversary). They look elegant and gentle, suitable for any wardrobe color.

Simple in execution and graceful is the version of the manicure - a gradient with sparkles.

Often, for its implementation, sparkles are mixed in the color of the main background (pink) with silver and holographic ones. The shiny mix is ​​spread with a thin brush over the undried topcoat. A higher density is created at the cuticle or at the free edge, and then with a thin dry brush, the glitter is stretched along the surface of the nail.
