Pink and white nail design. Photo with a pattern, rhinestones, jacket, gradient

There are classic manicure colors that do not lose their relevance - red, pink and black and white. All other designs are based on them. The combination of pink and white in nail designs creates a delicate, feminine look.

Technique comes to mind "Classic jacket", but today not all women like this design. Manicurists offer a modern alternative - a lace jacket and baby boommer.

General recommendations for pink and white manicure

Thanks to sliders at home, it is easy to make a lace design on the entire nail plate. For these purposes, a transfer foil with an openwork print is also suitable. And the use of velvet sand (colored acrylic powder, flock) will make the design volumetric and elegant. If you need shine for special occasions, use Yuki glitter and flakes.

Modern nail art makes it possible, using a mix of techniques and decors, to make a manicure in white and pink tones universal. A big plus is the ability not to tie the color of the manicure to the tone of clothes, shoes or handbags. Such rules of style remained in the last century.

To create trendy designs, you will also need a set of standard materials and tools:

1. LED lamp - it is useful in the process of covering nails with gel polish, building up artificial nails and strengthening with acrylic powder or natural fiberglass.
2. Base and top coat, which are an irreplaceable part of the three-phase gel system (base - gel - top). Today technologists of many companies create universal products - "2 in 1". A liquid with such a chemical composition can be used as a base and as a top.
3. White and pink gel polishes... It will be difficult to choose them. Manufacturers offer a line of shades of the same color. So, for example, up to 10 shades can be presented in pink. White also has subtle nuances.
4. Brushes, which will be needed for the application and correction of materials. The varnish bottles have brushes in the cap of the product. But experienced craftsmen claim that even application of varnish without streaks and gaps is provided only by a flat brush with a soft bristle. Each master has his own and is calculated empirically. To bring colored varnish to the cuticle and lateral ridges, you cannot do without a thin linear brush. Everyone chooses the length of the pile for themselves.

If you have the entire set of products, the coating will still not be ideal if you do not first carry out the manicure procedure. To do this, you can limit yourself to a classic manicure set, if you wish, you can purchase a milling cutter for hardware manicure.

Techniques and methods of pink and white manicure

Pink and white nail design, created using standard techniques typical of the gel system. The difficulty lies in reproducing complex designs using only two colors. In this case, the master's imagination and additional decoration come to the rescue.

Popular techniques for creating designs based on two colors:

Decorating with their help is available for novice craftsmen at home. These techniques are basic in creating backgrounds for further decoration with rhinestones, cameos, and lace.

Pink and white manicure options without add-ons

Pink and white nail design is considered a self-sufficient classic manicure. Using some techniques, it is possible to create a manicure without additional decor and interference of other colors.

What can be done with two gel polishes:

• stylish baby boommer - a gradient with a white accent on the edge of the nail plate (false jacket);
• French manicure (classic, lace, geometric);
• watercolor flowers is a drawing of white translucent flowers on a pink background;
• dot patterns using dots - creating thin lace patterns with white gel paint from points of different diameters;
• Monogram designs are a set of curls that can later be sprinkled with acrylic powder and create a voluminous effect;
• moon manicure - highlighting in white in the form of a geometric figure (semicircle, triangle) of the space at the base of the nail;
• abstractions - creating textures using a spreading base of white and pink gel polish;
• creation of geometry with Spider Gel - designs with chaotic intersection of white straight lines on a pink background.

The design looks in the style of minimalism when geometric chaos of intersecting lines is applied on some fingers with white gel, while others are decorated exclusively with parallel straight lines that can be placed horizontally or vertically.

Without the use of unnecessary decor and a pile of other shades, the design of nails with a combination of colors of pink and white looks gentle and elegant. Such a manicure will be appropriate at any time of the year.

Pink and white manicure: gradient, ombre

A gradient made with pink and white gel polishes can be an independent design, or it can serve as a background for drawing or stamping.

Gradient types:

1. Horizontal - colors are applied to the nail in the form of two horizontal stripes. In this case, the pink strip should be narrower in width than the white one. If the design idea is to get a white free edge (imitation of French manicure), then a white strip of varnish is applied at the end of the nail plate, and a pink one - at the cuticle. You can alternate the gradient on one hand, changing the location of the color on each finger. For the purity of the color transition, it is necessary to stretch the varnish 2-3 times. To do this, use a special gradient brush, with the tips of the pile, to pull one color onto another, achieving a smooth overflow. On the first layer, the picture is not neat. To do this, again apply two stripes of color, after drying the first layer for 30 seconds, and repeat the stretch. When the appearance of the gradient satisfies the owner, the design is covered with a top and dried in an ICE lamp for 60 sec.
2. Vertical - stripes of pink and white are located vertically on the plane of the nail. You can blend them with a fan brush. The tips of the pile, along the line of the junction of the flowers, make 2-3 smooth movements along. This is enough to make a gradient, but the masters recommend repeating the procedure again. This technique is easier to execute than a horizontal gradient.
3. "Baby boommer" (false jacket) - the upper part of the nail is covered with a white translucent color. To do this, use an airbrush or a brush with a foam ball. White is applied on a dried pink background.
4. Ombre - this is a gradient along the perimeter of the nail plate, when a frame around the nail is created in white.To apply it, a beveled brush is used, and the paint is drawn using the "Chinese painting" technique (an intense color is applied to the protruding edge of the brush, which reduces the density as it is distributed). This technique allows you to create a dense white frame with one movement of the brush, which is shaded towards the center of the nail. Outwardly, such designs resemble a framed medallion.

To perform the above techniques, you will need additional tools:

• thin brush for drawing;
• beveled flat brush;
• foam rubber sponge for aeroofing (for professional use, an airbrush is purchased);
• Gradient brush with thin and long bristles.

Such designs can be used on their own or decorated with additional decor.

Matte manicure pink and white

Designs with a matte effect, made in pink and white, look cute, elegant and a little strict. Craftsmen recommend decorating a matte surface with a small amount of rhinestones or self-adhesive tapes.

The glossy shine of gel polish can be removed in two ways:

• mechanical - to work out the surface of the nail with a buff;
• chemical - cover with a special topcoat.

• with a glossy shine;
• with a matte effect;
• no sticky layer;
• with a metallic sheen;
• rubber top.

Experienced craftsmen recommend making the coating in a gel system using the products of one company. This ensures good adhesion of the layers of material to each other. But in practice it happens with exactly the opposite. Only empirically are the beneficial combinations of all polymer mixtures selected. A common cause of detachments is the incompatibility of materials.

Matte-effect pink and white designs can lose their appearance and flake off. The reason is the quality and compatibility of the finishing gel.

Options for manicure pink and white with patterns and drawings

Pink and white nail designs go well with nail patterns. More often, pink is used as a background, and the pattern is applied in white. However, changing shades in places gives interesting results. For example, drawings of pink flowers on a white background, decorated with holographic broths. The result is a delicate design that mimics dew drops on the petals.

Several techniques are used to create lace designs for the entire nail:

• transfer foil;
• sliders;
• stamping;
• thin brush drawings;
• drawings by dots.

Painting with a thin brush or dots will require skill and experience. Before tackling such a design on the convex shape of a natural nail, you first need to practice on tips. The white gel paint should be thick and well pigmented. Thicker material holds the brush line or dot better.

The image is applied in several stages, starting with the main lines and ending with drawing small openwork elements. Such drawings require intermediate drying in a lamp. The easiest way is to use sliders or stamping. The plate must have a deep engraving to accurately print the fine lines of the lace.

There are two types of lace sliders:

• translated with water;
• on an adhesive basis.

Self-adhesive sliders are enough to cut in the shape of the nail, remove from the base film with tweezers and stick to the nail. The main difficulty lies in the fact that you need to attach on the first try. The drawing cannot be moved, the slider fixation is instant.

It's easier to work with sliders that peel off the paper base with water. They do not have their own sticky layer, which makes it possible to move them along the nail while they are wet.

Such images are attached to a sticky layer of gel polish and overlap with a top in two layers.At the same time, with a thin brush, it is necessary to work out the areas near the cuticle and under the side ridges so that the top overlaps the edges of the slider in these places. White openwork designs are beautifully obtained on a pink background using transfer foil.

There are three ways to get high quality foil printing results:

1. Cut the drawing to the size of the nail and attach it to the sticky layer of gel polish, smooth and abruptly tear off the thin upper film.
2. Glue the cut fragment on the wet layer of the base or top, dry it in a lamp for 30 seconds and remove the top film.
3. Transfer the foil with a special air-dry glue.

It is impossible to visually determine in which way the perfect print will be obtained. It all depends on the thickness of the sheet and the way the manufacturer applies the paint to it.

Drawings in white on a pink background look gentle. simple lines intertwined in a geometric pattern look soft and elegant. A combination of geometry and floristry on adjacent fingers of one hand is allowed.

Decor on pink and white manicure

To give the pink manicure charm and shine, additional decor is used.

Most often, in order not to destroy the delicate charm, they decorate with a small amount:

• white or holographic (AB) broths - they are attached in the form of thin threads, falling beads, they are decorated with drawings and sliders;
• silver or gold rubbing - when using a small amount per layer without stickiness, a metallic sheen is created, combined with both white and pink backgrounds;
• mother-of-pearl - the addition of such a rub allows you to get a classic "pearl manicure", overlapped with two layers of thick (rubber) top;
• silver or gold glitter - make stretch marks, spreading it tightly on the end of the nail or at the hole, and then distributing the glitter with a thin brush, gradually fading away;
• adhesive tapes - they can be of any color, straight or elastic, capable of bending along an arc;
• sharmicon (Charmicon) - a novelty of the art industry volumetric stickers on a silicone basis, giving the effect of 3D design;
• white sliders - flat images in different themes (flowers, leaves, butterflies, geometric shapes) in white, are removed from the film with tweezers and transferred to the nail.

Charmikons, which give a small volume, are very popular in delicate designs. It does not complicate the use of manicure. Such stickers can be overlapped on top with a layer of gel polish, creating an imitation of a bas-relief on the nail, easy to use. Two layers of top coat will ensure the design is durable.

Fashion trends of manicure in 2019

The fashion for delicate manicures continues in 2019. Designs are somewhat transformed as new materials appear on the market.

Design innovations include:

• Spider web gel designs - on a pink background, white lines intersect chaotically, which create a decoration in the style of minimalism. In this case, the nail is not additionally decorated. You can apply geometric patterns to all fingers.
• "Velvet designs" - the white pattern is sprinkled with white acrylic powder, which gives the design the effect of a velvet fabric. It is easier and faster to make such a decor using flock (small soft fibers of artificial material). They are sprinkled with an undried layer, which, after polymerization, becomes strong, but rough. From above, the surface is not overlapped by the top.
• Silicone charmikons - stickers with inscriptions are especially popular. On a transparent layer, the name of a loved one or a child, a positive motto can be written in white. It is difficult to write a word with a thin brush on your own, and an industrially printed inscription has clear boundaries and good readability.
• Modeling of white flowers on a pink background - the design is carried out with silicone brushes using acrylic plasticine. Its implementation requires certain skills, and as a result, voluminous flowers with translucent embossed petals are obtained.

Fashionable novelties are not practical, which implies their use for solemn, festive manicures.

In the life of a modern woman, nail design is not the last place, and pink and white manicure is suitable for women of all ages and professions. Polymer materials make it possible to make manicure resistant to mechanical destruction and abrasion.
