How to make a beautiful pale pink manicure? Step by step instructions, ideas
Manicure in pale pink shades is done using various techniques and is combined with many colors, which allows you to choose a unique design for yourself.
Matte manicure for long nails
A soft pink manicure can also be done in a matte design.
Materials that are required to perform nail art:
- a standard set for preparing the nail plate (freezer, nail file, buff) and cuticle removal (remover, nail clippers or scissors);
- basic coverage;
- color gel polish in pale pink shades;
- matte top finish;
- ultraviolet or LED lamp.
Step-by-step instructions for performing a matte manicure:
- First, you need to prepare the nail plate for the base coat application. To do this, you need to remove the previous coating with a freezer (for a cleaner result, you can use a file with an abrasiveness of 180/240 grit). Next, the nail is washed down, shaping (for a matte manicure for long nails, the shape of pointe shoes, a soft square or almond is ideal). The nails are sanded with a buff, and then a transparent base coat is applied to them, which is dried in a lamp.
- The base is covered with colored gel polish in pale pink shades, the end is sealed, and then polymerized in a lamp.
- To achieve a perfect matte finish, the top must be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the nail plate, walk along the side rollers and seal the end, then dry it in a lamp until it dries completely.
Drawings on pale pink manicure with gel polish
Making drawings on the nails is always a relevant and correct decision. You can choose patterns for any nail length and shape. Both volumetric drawings and simpler patterns are made with gel polish.
These include:
- lace;
- openwork;
- geometry;
- graphic arts.
You can draw patterns on your nails using special manicure brushes. To make even circles, it is best to use dots, and a cut toothpick is suitable from available materials. More complex designs, such as animals or flowers, are drawn with brushes. First you need to outline the contour, then paint over the necessary parts with colored gel polish and dry in a lamp.
Clear contours are applied to an almost finished drawing and details are drawn.
Glitter manicure
Glitter manicure is suitable for any season and for any style of clothing. Sequins can be used to decorate both nail sections and the entire plate. Sparkles are applied to a colored coating with a sticky layer, but if it is absent, you can use a special manicure glue that will allow the decoration to stay on the nails longer.
It is best to cover such jewelry with a glossy top so that the design does not lose its luster.
Foil design for short nails
Foil design matches perfectly with light shades of pink. Printing is done on a sticky layer of colored gel polish or on a special manicure glue. It is important to monitor the quality of the foil purchased, as cheaper materials can lag behind the manicure in pieces.
With the help of foil, you can create imitation of snake scales or use in combination with geometric patterns.
Manicure with rhinestones
Delicate pink manicure with a design in the form of rhinestones will never go out of style. Rhinestones can be used to decorate all nails or some of them. Such an accessory is suitable for any length and shape. For better fixation, you need to use special manicure glue. Rhinestones can be glued to a colored coating, and then covered with a top or immediately glued to the finish.
In the second case, the time of wearing the design directly depends on the quality of the glue with which the jewelry was fixed.
Ombre
To perform the ombre technique, several shades of pink are applied to a special manicure sponge: from dark to the lightest or white.Then the gradient is transferred to the nail plate with patting movements. To achieve a smoother transition, the procedure can be repeated several times. Then the ombre is dried in a lamp and covered with a top.
You can also use colors for the transition that are combined with pale pink shades, for example, mint, purple or yellow.
Moon manicure
It is carried out in the same way as a jacket, only it is not the smile line that stands out, but the hole near the base of the nail. Pink can be used as a primary color, as well as an auxiliary color, which will be applied to the hole. Nail art can be decorated with accessories or various patterns.
French
Delicate pink manicure goes well with a jacket. You can wear both a regular and a reverse jacket. For the usual, you need to prepare your nails, cover them with a base, and then paint over with a colored coating. Only after that the smile line is painted over with white gel polish.
The finished nail art is dried in a lamp and covered with a top. In the second version of the jacket, pink gel polish is used to paint over the smile line. In this case, the main color of the coating can be chosen absolutely any or left transparent.
Nude
For a nude manicure, powdery or pink-beige shades are ideal. The design is created according to the standard scheme: a colored gel polish must be applied to a dry base coat, and then dried in a lamp and secured with a top.
Cat's eye
Gel polishes from the "Cat's Eye" line have pigments that have shades of pink.
First you need to prepare the nail plate, apply a base coat, and then, for the best manifestation of magnetic particles, cover the nail with black gel polish. Apply "Cat's Eye" to the substrate in a dense layer, and bring the magnet to the still wet coating. You need to keep it until the highlight is clear. The finished design is polymerized in the lamp and covered with a finish.
Casting
To perform the casting technique, a special manicure foil is used, most often of a golden hue.
First, you need to carry out the standard preparation of the nail, cover it with a base and a colored coating and remove the stickiness. Then, using a thin brush and a special gel, apply the contours of the pattern and dry in a lamp. Glue the foil to the sticky layer of the pattern and press it well, and then tear it off with a sharp movement. An openwork pattern made with foil will remain on the nail.
Kamifubuki
For manicure in pale pink shades, it is best to use confetti similar in color. They can be laid out on a colored coating or directly on the base. Kamifubuki can be combined with rhinestones to create a 3D effect.
Broken glass on sharp nails
Broken glass design is made with special foil and looks perfect on sharp elongated nails. With light shades of pink, broken glass will create a three-dimensional effect.
The foil can be cut into strips, rhombuses, squares or any other geometric shapes, and spread them over the space of the nail plate on a sticky layer of colored coating. Cover the finished nail-art with a finish and dry in a lamp.
Glitters
Glitter along with rhinestones and sparkles will never lose its relevance. They can be used to decorate both individual sections of the nail plate and the entire nail at once. It is necessary to scatter small particles on the sticky layer of gel polish, and then drive in with light patting movements. After applying the glitter, cover the design with a top and dry well in a lamp.
The soft pink manicure has a variety of designs that it can be combined with. You can choose an individual nail art for any length and shape of the nail.
