Manicure with red varnish

Hands give a woman, as they say, "with a head" - the success of the image in general and the level of self-confidence depend on how well-groomed the fingers are. A manicure with red lacquer will undoubtedly attract the attention of others, but for the effect to be 100%, the coating must be perfect.

Peculiarities

A woman with scarlet marigolds will not leave anyone indifferent. Red varnish is courage, sexuality, self-confidence, the desire to be in the center of attention. And although a manicure of this color is, of course, a classic, it is difficult to compare it with a "little black dress" that suits "both a feast and the world." Red nails are great when they are appropriate.

There is a concept “ manicure etiquette»: What colors and lengths of nails are appropriate in a given situation.

Red is best worn on special occasions.

Bright scarlet nails will undoubtedly be appropriate at a party, cocktail, disco. A festive evening event is also a great excuse to get a red bottle off the shelf. If you have a date, you need to decide on the mood. For those whose relationships are in the "candy-bouquet" stage (going to the cinema, walking along the embankment, romantic evening on the observation deck), it is better to choose a more delicate shade: pink, beige. But for an incendiary evening "with a continuation", you can paint your nails with a bright red color.

You can go on vacation with bright nails, especially if the journey is going to be active and fun. For those who want privacy and tranquility, a quiet rest with their family, go to detox, it is better to choose a more modest color. In any case, it is better to use gel polish for vacation.

For all these reasons, you can pick up options with a nail design: for example, on one (usually ring) finger. Drawings, rhinestones, appliques and decorations in other techniques are quite acceptable.

Whether to wear this color of nails in the office is a moot point. Much depends on the individual style and characteristics of the dress code at the enterprise. If scarlet varnish is not prohibited, then you can afford to wear it to the office, but best of all on an average length of a natural nail. A win-win option - burgundy varnish, wine shades manicure.

Having figured out whether a bright manicure is appropriate, you need to correctly do it. Red will not fail! O The general rules for applying varnish on nails are known to everyone. Features of the use of scarlet varnish:

• It requires perfectly groomed hand skin. Bright varnish will attract the attention of others to the hands. Every scratch and every burr will be visible. Before doing such a manicure, you need to take care of the skin of your hands at least a week in advance.
• In addition to well-groomed skin, hands and fingers should be beautiful on their own. It doesn't make sense to draw attention to your hands if they're not the best part of your body.
• The coverage must be perfect: chips, scratches, dents will be very clearly visible. If the coating on one of the nails is damaged, it must be repainted!
• Experts advise buying red varnish from a good manufacturer. so that it is a product of high-quality composition with a comfortable brush.
• Etiquette experts believe that you shouldn't wear a lot of rings with a red nail polish.... One is enough - the most modest of your collection or an engagement one.

Many women today prefer to use gel polishes: they are very persistent and have "volume", they look better on the hands. But since you can't walk with red nails for a long time, there is no point in using such a bright gel polish. The usual, but good quality will be enough. After a party or date, you can easily take it off to go to work in the morning.

Design ideas

The latest trends in manicure are definitely FOR all shades of red. Scarlet, wine, plum, raspberry shades are popular.

If you managed to find a good shade of red, you can not be too fooled over the design and make the usual glossy monochromatic finish. This option is suitable for women of all ages and for most situations in which red varnish is generally appropriate.

• Last season's novelty - matte finish - remains relevant today... As if dusty, such a manicure looks expensive and will add austerity to the image (a good option for the office!). There are homemade ways to make a matte finish, such as holding your toenails that are still dry over a pot of boiling water or adding some cornstarch to the bottle. However, it is better not to experiment and get a matte varnish.

Some companies have a special top coat, which “mattes” the glossy varnish and at the same time fixes all the layers.

• Matte varnish looks good solo, however, on its basis, you can fantasize. For example, create a pattern with the same shade in gloss: stripes, polka dots, geometric patterns, flowers.

• Very fashionable design reminiscent of "French": matte surface of the nail and the same shade - glossy tip.

• Moon manicure looks good with red... This term is called the coating, where the lunula is accented - a white semicircle at the base of the nail. You can take two different shades of red, or you can play in contrast, outlining the moon with white, black, brown or other suitable colors. The semicircle may not be completely filled, but only indicated by a strip. In any case, this option will be bright, fun and eye-catching.
• You can combine matte and moon manicure in one. Some designers even boldly combine moon and jacket together, emphasizing both the hole and the tip of the marigold.

Other options for moon manicure are when not a semicircle is drawn on the hole, but a "smile line". In addition, the base of the nail can be distinguished with a triangular pattern.

• For a party or other fun event, you can paint bright red varnish with rubbing. These are special powders that, when rubbed into nails, create shine and play.

On a layer of gel polish, dried under a lamp, special glitters are abundantly applied, which are rubbed into the nails with your hands (while the top layer is still sticky). The finer the glitter, the more effective the result will be. Rubbed into dust, rubbed into 2 layers, they create a completely mirror finish. And if you cover your nails with a glossy top on top, the result will surpass all expectations.

In a provocative and bold look, such a nail design can be supplemented with varnish shoes or a handbag, and, of course, red lips will be a faithful companion of glossy nails (although this is no longer a "mandatory" requirement).

• A voluminous manicure looks very interesting and stylish. For different occasions, he can be his own: funny nails - "strawberries", glossy ladybugs, matte manicure with "knitted" or "quilted" pattern (very "warm", winter version), voluminous floral pattern, monograms. It is important to remember about a sense of proportion: 10 nails with the same volumetric pattern do not always look good. It is best when 1 or 2 fingers are selected in this way, and the rest have a solid color coverage.

• Another trend that does not go out of fashion is ombre coating. It looks very beautiful in shades of red. Just like on hair, ombre involves a smooth transition from one color to another. This transition can "happen" at the end of the nail or at the base - both look equally good. This gives the image mysticism, mystery. The undisputed favorite is red-black or red-brown ombre.

• Patterned design- also a worthy option, especially since nail art masters never stop coming up with something new. Geometry, dots, flowers are win-win options for a vacation or a fun evening.
• Stripes- vertical or horizontal, drawn with a contrasting varnish, can visually improve the shape of the nails.
• Stamping design(when the drawing is applied with a special stamp) will help to make a professional manicure at home.

• Manicure trends such as "Negative Space" and "frame" will work well with red. The latter involves delineating the entire marigold around the perimeter with a contrasting varnish (visually, this technique shortens the nails, so it is better to do it on long plates), and "negative space" implies "leaving" uncovered, transparent zones on the nail. Initially, the plate is painted with a transparent varnish, and then stripes, triangles or other patterns are applied to it in red.

Colors

Red is not limited to the standard scarlet color. In the lines of manufacturers of cosmetics for nails, the number of shades of red is always very large.

For those who want to make themselves a solid color for the office, it is worth considering the type of appearance and skin color. For blondes and fair-skinned girls, a salmon shade is best suited. Dark red, crimson shades are most suitable for dark-skinned women. For owners of light beige skin, an orange-red or ocher shade is ideal. And the classic deep and bright scarlet color can be worn by everyone.

A competent combination of colors in a manicure will allow you to make a harmonious design that will create a great mood and will be remembered by others.

• Red with black - a classic combination that allows you to make a bright and dramatic design. In such colors strict look perfect nails with stripes, french, geometric pattern, ombre. Black and red manicure, of course, for a special occasion... These colors must be duplicated in clothes, shoes or accessories.

• The combination of scarlet and white is fun, light, girlish. On the basis of these tones, delicate and naive designs are created - polka dots, flowers, moon manicure. Often this combination is adopted by the bride.

• If you want to "lower" the degree of brightness and make the design light and playful, you can combine scarlet with pink. Sometimes they even select several shades, which, as it were, “reduce” the brightness to nothing. An important rule of thumb: pink should not be puppet. Ideally, if it is from the same range as the main color, just 2-3 tones lighter.

• If you add blue, you get a very bright and flashy combination.... In order not to look tasteless, you need to think over the design well. Based on these two colors, you can make a good manicure - "crackle"(alas, the last few seasons it is not in vogue) or gorgeous marigolds in a nautical style, adding white. For theme parties, they make designs a la American or British flag. You can also make a Russian one, however, the relevance of such a manicure may raise questions.
