General recommendations

The emerald design manicure belongs to the green sector of the palette. However, you should not refer to this series of shades of olive color, which are transitional between green and yellow tones of the palette.

Such designs are made for any nail length. The trend continues towards the use of almond and soft square nail shapes. Before applying the coating, it is necessary to do a manicure and align the nail plate for coating with gel polish.

How to straighten the nail before painting with gel polish:

• leveling with a thick (rubber) base;
• polishing with a soft buff.

Gel polish is applied to the prepared surface, after cutting the nail shape. As a rule, in order to achieve an even colored coating, the material is laid out in 2 layers, each of which is dried in an ICE lamp for at least 30 seconds. The recommended power of the device is more than 48 W

Depending on the idea of ​​the main design idea, you can independently change the shade of the green gel polish at will. For example, to get a softer, pastel color, a drop of white varnish is added to a green gel polish. Mix the material on a palette (plastic or metal surface that can be easily cleaned with a cleanser after use).

To achieve dark, rich emerald shades, add a drop of black gel polish.

Designs with an emerald base background pair well with gold and silver decorative elements. Inlaid with champagne rhinestones, which are surrounded by holographic colorless stones of a smaller size, look exquisite, like the shine of jewelry.

Techniques and methods

To create designs, standard techniques are used that require the purchase of additional materials and tools.

Features of popular nail art techniques:

To create bright shiny designs, you need to have a collection of decor materials. A description of the possible options is given below in the article. The techniques listed above can be layered on each other in complex designs, while each layer is dried in an ICE lamp for at least 30 seconds.

Ideas for a solid color manicure

To create a manicure, you can use two shades of emerald color close in tone in the design of one hand. They can be obtained from one (base) color by adding other colored gel varnishes (most often black and white are used).

For example, a green gel polish is chosen, which is combined on a palette with a different color. On the hand, one tone of green is applied to the ring and middle fingers, and a mixed version of the varnish is applied to the rest. This is how contrasting monochromatic designs are created using one color source material.

A basic set for creating a smooth and elegant monochromatic finish includes:

• primer;
• base material;
• gel polish;
• finishing material;
• LED lamp;
• orange stick or pusher;
• file (180 x 240 grit);
• buff (abrasiveness more than 240 grit) for nail polishing.

The key to success when creating a monochromatic manicure is a high-quality preparation of the nail plate for coating. With a monochromatic manicure, all the surface irregularities are clearly visible. As a rule, lighter shades of varnishes fall on the nail in stripes and emphasize irregularities.

In order for the final result to look elegant, and the work of the master was considered professional, an even glare from the lamp in the form of a regular oval should be reflected on the plane of the nail. This effect is achieved only on a perfectly flat nail plate (both natural and artificial).

With the development of technologies in the creation of special varnishes with metal particles ("cat's eye"), masters often use emerald gel varnishes with 3D and 5D effects in salon designs.

With the help of a magnet, you can build bizarre glare, which, in addition to a holographic reflection, have a pronounced black tint. Such designs do not require additional decoration and are applied to all fingers of the hand. They take a little time and are easy to perform, and the appearance attracts the attention of others with its originality.

Options in different shades

The most popular combinations of two colors in one design are considered abstraction and gradient. They act as stand-alone designs or as a background for further decoration.

Scientists at the Pantone Color Institute have created a shade compatibility chart for beginners to use.

With what colors does green look aesthetically pleasing:

The trend of the last few years is the creation of a colored laid-out jacket, in which the "smile line" is created using emerald shades, and the color of the nail bed is a camouflage base of nude shades. In such designs, craftsmen often use gold glitter to decorate the end of the nail.

If you cover such a jacket with a matte finish, you get a strict, sophisticated design to maintain an office style. The only feature of this design that needs to be considered is that the length of the nails should be more than average.

A simple and elegant design, which is done independently, is the use of black and gold color of the "spider" gel on an emerald background. Often this design is decorated with small gold broths or black rhinestones.

Matte manicure

Matte manicure became fashionable about 5 years ago.In 2020, it is not a trendy direction, but it continues to be popular with visitors to nail art salons.

The easiest way to get a matte manicure is to cover the finished design with special polymer materials (top). Manufacturers produce top-end gels of different properties. Matte manicure is often used by artisans in salons to create designs in an office (business) style. Any shade of gel polish will look elegant and strictly under a matte top.

What disadvantages can be found as a result of using a matting polymer:

• fragility of socks - after 4-5 days the matte effect disappears and the gloss of the main color coating appears;
• chips along the edge of the nail plate;
• overlapping the shiny decor results in a design that is unexpected for a beginner.

Emerald manicure with a design of any shade of the green line of gel polishes (from light green to dark green turning into black) looks perfect under a matte top.

Before the appearance of special topcoats, the masters, in order to achieve an effect without gloss, treated the nail plate with a buff. Thus shine was cut off. Today it is enough to cover the nail with a special top, using it as a finishing layer. For this, the necessary design is created, after which the nail is covered with a special matte top,

Variants with patterns and drawings

Emerald design manicure is often decorated with drawings. On emerald shades, freehand drawings are done with black, white or gold gel paint. The design with a drawing of a stencil rose is popular. A large image of a flower is placed on the ring or middle finger of the hand. as a rule, only one finger is decorated in this style.

The original background for drawing can be a gradient of shades of green or a varnish with the effect of "cat's eye". The background coating is completely dried in an ICE lamp, about 30 seconds, overlapped from above with a top without residual stickiness, on which a rose drawing is performed. To draw a flower, you must familiarize yourself with the drawing scheme.

The pattern belongs to the category of simple and even a beginner can do it.

Floristry in drawings on nails remains in fashion for more than one year. For those who do not know how to draw with a thin brush, there are collections of sliders. Flowers of different shades and shapes are printed on them in the printing house.

What techniques are used to paint floristry:

• watercolor painting - performed with transparent varnishes or ordinary gel varnishes, which are diluted with a drop of top on the palette;
• smear technique - it is performed with a small flat or thin brush, the petals of the flower are drawn with strokes of dense gel paint (the material for drawing should be well pigmented);
• chinese painting - it is performed with a flat brush by simultaneously applying 2 colors at different angles of the brush;
• spot flowers - are performed by dots of different diameters in the form of a composition of dots.

When creating flowers in the "watercolor" style, a special base coat is often used - the "base for the pattern to flow". It is applied on a colored background and the petals of the flower are drawn without drying (on a wet layer). They immediately begin to spread, acquiring a translucent appearance.

Drawings in the form of geometric shapes and straight lines are popular. They can be done with a thin brush or using the stamping technique. Often geometric patterns are combined with negative space (areas of the nail that are not covered with a colored coating and show the color of the natural nail).

To complete this design, you need a colored camouflage base that mimics the natural color of the nail. After drying, a geometric pattern is performed on it.

Decor ideas

All shades of green blend well with gold and silver decor, so the masters in the salons choose these very colors. Black is also good for creating designs for decor and drawings, white tone looks less aesthetically pleasing against a green background.

Decor options using transfer foil:

• creation of chaotic prints (1-2, no more) on a green background;
• the design of the hole at the cuticle (moon manicure) or the end of the nail (french) with a dense foil imprint;
• foil printing for drawing a black pattern, which is made with gel paint with a sticky layer (foil casting);
• full coverage of the nail plate with a shiny layer.

Materials for decorating manicure:

• glitter - sequins of different fractions and shapes, they are multi-colored or holographic;
• kamifubiki - round shiny confetti of different diameters;
• rhinestones - plastic (acrylic) or glass jewelry imitating cut gemstones;
• broth - plastic (metal) multi-colored balls of small diameter;
• yucca flakes - shiny and soft plates of material similar to soft foil;
• shiny stripes - dense strips imitating a metal structure, which have an adhesive base, are stored in a roll, and are cut off with scissors;

Designs with Yucca flakes look stylish against the background of all emerald shades. They can be applied as whole shiny elements or rubbed into the nail with a cosmetic sponge. The effect. Depending on the application, it turns out different.
