Solid color ideas

The color of the varnish plays a major role in the choice of the image. Solid manicure options have steadily consolidated the position of the leader. In recent years, monochrome in the image of a woman has become a signature of style and personality. This option is suitable for any event and will be appropriate both for a business meeting and for a friendly meeting.

A single color scheme in pink will accentuate the lady's well-groomed hands. An unusual shade in the absence of decor and additional effects will make it interesting. The decision in choosing a color can be both classic and the most daring.

It is important only before varnishing to carefully carry out the procedure for removing cuticles and giving the perfect shape to the nails. Any shape is suitable for monochrome decoration: round, square or pointed. The pink shade will be equally effective in any version.

Options in different shades

Pink manicure with sparkles or without the use of bright decor is good in different colors. Mixing colors with a gradual transition from one to another is called the ombre technique. The choice of color filling is wide. However, the overflow of pink into blue, white, menthol and gray is considered successful. These compositions look the most harmonious in a duet.

A variant of the ombre are watercolor stains. The marine theme or blossoming flower buds are well depicted using watercolors. The drips look deliberately, as if the varnish on the nails dripped from water. This effect will highlight the originality of nature, who tried on this solution.

The cat-eye technique uses a magnet that stretches the varnish over the surface of the nail at different angles. This creates a hologram effect. By using shades of gray and blues on a pink base, the cat's deep gaze is rendered. Hence the name of the technique.

Matte manicure

The noble matte texture makes pink manicure a model of style and elegance. Its owner will always attract interested glances to herself, standing out from the crowd. This decision has justifiably firmly taken the leading position among other options for nail design.

Matte manicure has its own characteristics. It is created using mixed varnishes. They are called gel polishes and are good for an attractive look, and in the process of wearing they do not lose their freshness for a long time. Using them, you can forget about the need for manicure correction for several weeks. Work with such varnishes is carried out using a special lamp, which dries each layer of the consumable separately.

The modern nail service industry uses several textures of matte varnishes. They create an imitation of noble materials such as velvet or corduroy. Such performance makes the female image expensive and alluring. The pink color looks great in any of the above options.

Nuances in creating a matte effect:

• the absence of defects on the nail plate; on an unpolished surface, the coating will emphasize all the flaws;
• the movements of the master when applying varnish must be confident and directed forward, otherwise the unevenness of the nail will be noticeable;
• you cannot use a glossy top, as it will "erase" the dullness;
• the coating applied with such varnish dries for a long time;
• matting varnish can be used on top of pink gloss, the expected velvety effect will not change from this;
• matte finish enhances the brightness of the glossy pink shade;
• with the help of acrylic powder, you can create an imitation of velvet sand coating on your nails, which will make your manicure stylish and extraordinary. To do this, sprinkle the topcoat with powder before drying.

Alternatively, an interesting and pleasant matte texture is created with the help of powder or dust. This is an analogue of acrylic powder. Only the powder is applied with a brush, and not on top, like acrylic powder, after which the manicure is completed by drying with a lamp.

Variants with patterns and drawings

Pink glitter manicure can be decorated additionally, which will enhance its effect. The pink color is universal in any design, therefore it is open to experiment with various patterns and painting. Floral arrangements, lace ornaments, quilted designs in the "Chanel" style are popular today. The technique of creating drawings is taught separately; many courses are devoted to this.

Decor options

A pink manicure is often decorated with three-dimensional figures, polymer clay, rhinestones, sparkles, rubbing.

Using volumetric figures

З-D jewelry is presented in a variety of "feminine" themes: beads, pearls, stones, flowers and silicone hearts. The shape, size and volume of the figures are selected by the master depending on the client's preferences and the configuration of her nails.

To decorate a manicure with voluminous decor, you need a pink shade and a transparent fixative, decorations for several nails, tweezers and special glue.

Decorating instructions:

1. Apply the varnish in 2 layers and wait for it to dry.
2. Take the figurine with tweezers and drip glue on the back of it.
3. Press the decoration with the wet side to the surface of the nail and wait a little: the glue should dry.
4. Cover the entire nail along with the decor fixer, pay special attention to the joints.

Fimo clay decoration

Fimo polymer clay in the practice of nail service is a miniature tube in the form of flowers, sweets or images of funny animals. The use of such decor creates a bright and uncommon image. Suitable for lovers of bold deeds and outstanding images.

Pink manicure with rhinestones

The modern interpretation of pink in combination with rhinestones has left behind the perception of it as bad taste. The classic jacket technique is successful in applying, in which a soft pink tone is taken as a basis, and the tips of the nails are painted white.

The sophistication of such a manicure will be emphasized by rhinestones, neatly laid out in the form of an ornament on one of the nails. A fashionable idea that has recently strengthened its position is the use of rhinestones to match the coated.

A feature of this type of decor is the need to lay the stones vertically. This technique contributes to the visual extension of the nail in length, which makes it refined and graceful. For this reason, it is undesirable to use rhinestones on short nails. The desired effect of luxury cannot be created. Rhinestones in this version will look tasteless.

Rubbing

This technique aims to achieve a mirror-like shine of the finished manicure by rubbing the lightest dust with glitter particles into the dried coating. The advantage of rubbing over other methods of decoration lies in its versatility. It works well for nails of any length and shape.

The following design options are a good use for short nails:

• using different shades of varnish of the same color for different fingers on the hand;
• monochrome execution of rubbing is an ideal solution for a manicure made in a business style;
• addition of one or two nails on the hand painted in the form of a discreet pattern;
• application of several rhinestones for one nail without creating a complex applique.

No less effective techniques with rubbing in and for long nails.

They are used to create a bold look for women of fashion who like to draw attention to themselves:

• active use of rhinestones, including colored ones, to fully cover one nail;
• a combination of active and saturated colors in manicure;
• catchy drawings, made in the form of complex abstractions and flashy patterns of floral, marine themes, as well as imitating animal colors.

The pink shade of the varnish as a base creates the most natural and delicate manicure.
