Nail design today does not obey strict canons for the combination of colors. Multi-colored nails are the choice of bold and creative fashionistas. A variety of techniques for performing manicure allows you to show imagination in decorating nails.

Fashion trends of multi-colored manicure this year

Fashion does not impose strict conditions on the observance of any color schemes. On the contrary, there is complete democracy in the choice of the style of manicure. For the first time, it is allowed to design hand nails in a multi-colored solution. For example, you can make the nails of the left hand in blue, and on the right hand in pastel colors.

Fashion tips in manicure 2019:

• use of coral in summer and olive in winter;
• the use of charmikons (silicone sliders) with motivating inscriptions, and not always of literary content;
• connection in geometric designs of colored areas with negative space (parts of the nail with a camouflage base, without color);
• minimalism in designs that are created using a special gel "cobweb".

In the trend for 2019, hand-painted nails with gel paints or acrylic paints remain. Craftsmen often use professional watercolors to create complex artistic designs.

Pros and cons of bright nails

Nail design (even a novice master will perform multi-colored nails with the help of gel polishes) has a number of advantages in combination with the style of clothing. The presence of several shades in a manicure makes it easier to select a wardrobe by color.

The advantages of striking designs:

• cheer up;
• modern varnishes do not lose their shine;
• suitable for any style of clothing;
• attract the attention of others.

The disadvantages of multi-colored designs include excessive brightness. Not everyone can afford a defiant manicure due to their own character and temperament.

Creating the right image

Today, nail design is not only a part of the image, but also a manifestation of character. To create a stylish look, it is worth harmoniously combining clothes, hairstyle and manicure. Nail design (multi-colored nails are performed using techniques of different complexity) looks beautiful only if the hands are well-groomed. For an elegant manicure, you need to choose the correct plate shape.

Almond-shaped nails are considered a trend.

Choice of nail cover

Today, the nail art industry offers several color options for nail polish. Each of the methods is distinguished by the complexity of application, which determines the cost of the procedure in the salon. The durability of use in everyday life depends on the quality of the materials and the correct work of the master.

Color coating options:

Craftsmen often use combinations of varnishes and paints to create complex designs. For example, acetone based varnishes can be used in stamping.

Stylish and harmonious color combination

Recommended color combinations are developed for each season. For example, for the 2019 season, a fashionable, adventurous combination is the interweaving of purple and coral in the design.

Recommended color compositions for 2019:

With their help, abstract designs and geometry are made out, they can also be used in reverse stamping and rainbow jacket.

Manicure design of two and several colors

Nail design (multi-colored nails in several colors attract the attention of others with their eccentricity) can be created at home on your own, knowing the rules for applying materials.

It is enough to purchase a minimum set of basic tools and your favorite decor:

• lamp for polymerization;
• degreaser (dehydrator);
• primer;
• base and top coverage;
• colored gel varnishes;
• decor;
• tools for manicure.

Geometric patterns in nail design

A beautiful geometric composition is obtained when straight lines of different thicknesses and geometric shapes intersect. Craftsmen with experience in drawing fine lines are able to recreate the pattern on the nail using a thin brush and gel paint. For those who want to speed up the design process, you can use stamping.

Reverse (color) stamping technique:

• apply the main color of the gel polish to the surface of the nail (you can make a horizontal or vertical gradient);
• distribute the stamping paint on the engraved plate with a scraper;
• transfer the drawing to the stamp pad;
• dry the drawing in a lamp for 5-10 seconds;
• using a thin brush, paint the drawing on the surface of the stamp, over the original lines, dry for 5 seconds;
• reprint the picture on the plane of the nail;
• cover on top with a top layer of gel polish, dry for 60 seconds.

As a result, you will get a clear outline of the picture on top (black or white), and below it there are multi-colored elements of the picture. The main requirement when creating a reverse stamping is not to go beyond the contours of the picture when coloring and fix the paint on the stamp pad.

Multicolored gradient

Gradient nails are covered with colored stripes that smoothly flow into each other. This is a simple and common technique for multi-colored nail designs.

There are several types of gradient in manicure:

• horizontal - the stripes are located across the nail;
• vertical - the strips are located along the length of the nail plate;
• angular - diagonal color flow;
• central - creates a semblance of a medallion when the contrasting color is located around the circumference of the nail plate.

To create a gradient, use a special brush (with a clipped pile) or a fan brush.

How to make a vertical gradient yourself:

• prepare the nail for coating - manicure, primer, base (for the density of the gradient color, it is better to use a camouflage base);
• apply strips of colored gel polish with a thin brush along the nail, do not dry in a lamp;
• with a dry fan brush, walk along the border of the connection of colors, using only the tips of the villi;
• draw strokes from the cuticle to the free edge, shifting towards the same color;
• wipe the brush on a napkin with alcohol and repeat the manipulations from the center of the nail towards a different color.
• dry for 60 seconds in a lamp;
• reapply the colored stripes over the multi-colored layer and repeat all the steps;
• cover with top and dry for 60 seconds in an ICE lamp.

To obtain a smooth transition between two colors, it is necessary to apply at least 2 layers of coating, drying each layer separately.

Multicolored abstraction in design

Nail design (multi-colored nails with intricate abstract patterns are easy to do on your own) does not repeat on two adjacent fingers and is a unique decor. 1-2 fingers of the hand or all fingers are decorated with this pattern - at the request of the client. The originality of such designs is that you can combine any colors and combine different shades on the fingers of one hand.

Technique for creating an abstract drawing using a base for spreading:

• a base layer is applied to the surface of the nail after manicure, with which the plane is leveled and dried for 60 seconds;
• on top, with a layer of medium thickness, apply a special base for spreading, do not dry;
• with a thin brush, stripes of different colors are drawn, which are located at a distance from each other (the color needs free space for spreading);
• it is necessary to wait 60 seconds for the colored stripes to blur and fill the entire surface of the nail, then dry in a lamp for 30 seconds;
• can be finished with a finishing coat or painted with a thin brush with black or white gel paint, which will give clarity and contrast to the abstract pattern.

These multi-colored coatings serve as a stand-alone decor or as a background for more complex designs with patterns or sliders.

Combination of colorful backgrounds with pictures

When using colored sliders, the background is usually pastel.

How to place the slider on a colorful background:

1. you need to do a manicure and choose 2 colors of varnish to create a background (depending on the theme and color of the slider picture);
2. apply them on the plane of the nail using the gradient technique or on the base for spreading (the technique is described above in the article), dry for 30 seconds;
3. cut out a picture with a pattern along the contour and put in a container with water at room temperature (4-5 sec);
4. remove the picture from the liquid and use tweezers to move the film with the pattern onto the nail;
5. distribute the drawing along the plane of the nail (with an orange stick or a silicone brush);
6. cover with 2 layers of top-end gel, drying each layer in a lamp for 30 seconds.

Not only floristry is used as a theme for drawings, but also inscriptions. The trend of 2019 is motivating texts on the surface of the nail.

Multicolored designs with glitter rhinestones

Lovers of shiny decor use it in combination with various designs. For example, minimalist geometry looks elegant with small holographic crystals (ss3 size). Slider designs can also be decorated with crystals.

How to firmly fix rhinestones on a finished multi-colored coating:

• after the completion of the main design idea, the nail is covered with a top layer without residual stickiness and dried in a lamp for 60 seconds (it is necessary to ensure high-quality polymerization of all layers of the design);
• with a thin brush, drops of material (modeling transparent gel, base or special glue for rhinestones) are placed in the places where the crystals will be attached;
• stones are recessed in them and dried in a lamp for 30 seconds, in order to prevent their displacement, it is recommended to dry the fastening of the stones one by one;
• after laying out the entire composition, circle each pebble with a top or base with a thin brush (it is necessary not to fill small rhinestones with polymer), it is necessary to control the amount of material on the brush, dry for 60 seconds;
• Do not overlap the design with topcoat.

With proper attachment of rhinestones, they last up to 3 weeks, are removed during correction with technical nippers. Rhinestones are often complemented with broths (small colored plastic or metal balls). They not only complement the jewelry composition, but also serve as an additional fastener for rhinestones. Broths fill all the free space between crystals.

Pastel manicure

In 2019, the trend towards the use of nude shades in design continues. To give the imitation of natural brightness and tenderness, nude colors are combined with pastel tones. The pastel color palette includes all colors mixed more than half with white.

Each master is able to get the pastel color he needs by stirring a bright gel polish with white gel paint on the palette. The more white you add, the softer and softer the shade will turn out. Pastel colors blend easily with each other in gradients or abstract designs. Designs in pastel colors using negative space are considered popular.

Acrylic powder in multicolored designs

To give the picture volume and texture, the craftsmen use acrylic powder in a gel system. It adheres well to an undried layer of varnish and creates a rough surface.

How to properly apply acrylic powder when covering a nail with gel polish:

1. after creating the main background (gradient, streaks, geometry), cover it with a top without residual stickiness (this is a prerequisite for a high-quality design), dry for 30 seconds;
2. it is recommended to walk along the surface of the nail with a soft buff (with low abrasiveness);
3. draw or stamp a picture;
4. without drying the drawing, sprinkle it on top with acrylic powder, let the material soak for 1 minute;
5. dry in a lamp for 30 seconds;
6. shake off the remaining powder with a brush with a hard bristle;
7. do not overlap with top.

After polymerization in the lamp, the powder hardens and becomes strong. In case of contamination, this design can be easily cleaned with soap foam and a soft brush, without loss of quality.

What is a multi-colored marmalade manicure

The design is created using coarse colored acrylic powder. It can be produced by the manufacturer in one tone, or it can consist of a set of multi-colored balls (melange). It is of a larger fraction and is used only for decoration. Does not overlap with the top layer.

A multi-colored mottled coating is applied both to the entire surface of the nail and to individual design elements (monograms, geometric shapes). The technique of use is the same as for decorating with acrylic powder (described above).

Classic French manicure in a new way

The French technique is successfully used in creating multi-colored designs. In this case, different colors are used to create a "smile line". On the classic (nude) base, draw a French line with colored gel paints. At the same time, there is no limit to imagination when creating a jacket form. Beveled "smile lines" are popular.

On long nails of the "modern almond" shape, a triangular jacket is often used.

For home use, it is recommended to design a jacket with the help of special sliders, on which a typographic color print is applied. They are attached to the free edge of the nail in the same way as ordinary slider pictures. (the technique is described above in the article).

Layout multi-colored service jackets are of a higher complexity. They are created using the technique of aquarium design using multi-colored gel varnishes and glitter.

Glitter and rub in multi-colored manicure

The glitter gradient is used to decorate any multi-colored design.Sequins are mixed with the top and applied along the contour of the pattern or by stretching.

Glitter gradient technique:

• manicure is performed;
• a base leveling layer is applied;
• using the selected color, a multi-colored design is created, dries for 60 seconds;
• sequins are mixed with the top on the palette;
• glitters are applied to the surface of the nail without a sticky layer, which are stretched over the surface with a thin clean brush;
• after achieving the desired result, the nail is sent to the lamp for 60 seconds;
• top coat is applied on top with a leveling layer to prevent abrasion of the design.

It is recommended to use glitter with a holographic effect, which is suitable for any color scheme of the design.

Neon nails

Bright designs are done using neon gel polishes or dry pigments.

Pigments can be applied in 2 ways:

1. mixing with a base or top on the palette;
2. rubbing on the sticky layer of the base with a sponge.

Technique for creating multi-colored abstraction from pigments:

• do a manicure;
• apply camouflage base, dry for 60 seconds;
• on the sticky (dispersive) layer, the pigment is applied with a sponge, with swiping movements (in advance, with a pencil, you can outline the areas for applying different colors);
• shake off excess powder with a fan brush and cover with a top, which dries for 30 seconds;
• apply a second layer of the finish and dry for another 30 seconds;
• cleanse the skin around the nail with an alcohol-based liquid.

Bright colors play with neon light in UV rays, which are active on a sunny day. You can enjoy the reaction of neon pigments in the light of an LED lamp.

Knitted multicolored manicure

"Knitted" manicure looks simple and elegant, attracts the attention of others.

To create such a design, 2 methods are used:

• Sprinkle with acrylic powder on a drawing drawn with gel paint or paste, with drying in an ICE lamp for at least 1 min.
• Drawing the relief with the help of dots in the thickness of undried varnish - sprinkle colored acrylic powder on the colored layer of varnish, shake off the remnants, do not dry in the lamp. It is necessary to cut a pattern imitating knitting with a dots ball, cure it in a lamp for 60 seconds and treat it with a buff.

In the first case, the design does not overlap with the top and the surface remains rough. The second option can be overlaid with a thin layer of finish, which will create an internal knit effect.

Nail design in the style of "Rainbow"

This style of design came into vogue last year and remains relevant. The design assumes the use of several contrasting colors.

Ways to apply "rainbow" to nails:

• drawing with a thin brush - multi-colored lines are arranged in the form of a geometric pattern or abstraction, each line after drawing is dried for 10 seconds, which prevents mixing of colors;
• abstract stains on a special base for spreading;
• “Rainbow” jacket - done with a thin brush (the “smile line” is drawn in different colors);
• vertical or horizontal iridescent gradient with colored gel polishes or pigments.

The rainbow design is placed on all fingers. It is appropriate for the spring-summer period.

A multi-colored nail design involves a combination of not necessarily bright, contrasting colors. Multi-colored nails can be created by mixing soft pastel colors in the decor. Fashion allows a woman to choose between bright neons and elegant understated pastels.
