Color Manicure: A Star Experience

Brilliant solutions

R & B diva Beyoncé, who took second place in the TOP-100 most popular people on the planet according to Forbes, as befits a star, loves everything that glitters. The main difference between the star’s manicure is the reflections of the metal on the nails. Beyoncé chooses polishes with gold, silver, copper or steel shimmers. Charlize Theron, a recognized beauty, prefers the shine of fabrics, but paints her nails with a calm, transparent shine. Both options are at the height of fashion.

On a note: Match metallic shades of varnish to match the accessory, for example, a clutch. Masters advise to apply varnish first on the right hand, then on the left if you are doing the manicure yourself. It is very important to apply varnish to the base, as the varnish itself eats away at the nail and stains and streaks remain on it.

Lady choose red

The classics don’t go out of style. This is evidenced by the variety of red shades in the new collections of varnishes and the look of star nails. Beauty Kylie Minogue and burlesque star Dita Von Teese know a lot about beauty and prefer seductive red to all other shades.

Manicure, as on Dita’s nails, is also referred to as “moon manicure”. Nail stylists of the American corporation CND for the Paris Fashion Week for the spring-summer 2010 season decorated the nails of the models with an unusual design: at the base of the nail there is a crescent moon reflecting the cuticle area. Decoration with a contrasting varnish is performed at the base of the nail, but it does not mirror, but, on the contrary, repeats the cuticle line.

On a note: Apply white or colorless varnish to the entire nail, seal the nail hole with a special stencil and paint over the rest of the nail with colored varnish.

Dark forces

The femme fatale Megan Fox and the beloved vampire girl Kristen Stewart choose dark shades of varnishes for publication. Megan thus emphasizes the beauty of her black hair, and the Twilight star is positioning a new style. After the release of the saga, Kristen stopped sunbathing, motivating her rejection of the sun by caring for healthy skin.

On a note: so that the dark varnish lays on the nails beautifully and evenly, apply it, starting with the little finger. Run a wide strip down the center of your nail from base to tip. Then paint over the edges of the nail with two firm strokes. Remove excess varnish with a brush. Let the first coat dry and then apply the second coat.

Living in vibrant color

Summer dictates the fashion for bright colors. Favorites of the season: rich colors of enamels – blue, fuchsia, purple. And glowing green, pink, yellow and purple. These shades were chosen for herself by R&B star Ciara and the brightest debutante of last year, pin-up singer Katy Perry.

On a note: Perform your manicure in good lighting. Be sure to remove any old polish before you start. Using a file, give the nails an oval shape, lightly sand them with a special buff (polishing file). Lubricate hands and nails with a little cream and massage to improve blood circulation. Remove the remains of the cream with a napkin.
