Summer! And this means – brightness in everything! Swimwear, skirts, sandals and, of course, marigolds to match. By the way, prices for classic and hardware manicure in salons vary from 500 to 1500 rubles! Woman’s Day found out what is in trend among Rostov women.
Imagination – green light! Butterflies, dolphins, bees, fish, cats, cartoon characters: anything is possible this summer! As the masters of manicure admitted, with an enviable frequency, clients ask for a rich yellow, green and red background. Not surprisingly, Rostovites love bright colors!
Nobody canceled French manicure, it is relevant at any time of the year. So if you change your looks too often and do not have time to “catch up” with them, or if you work in an office with a very strict dress code, then this option is quite suitable. French can be made not only white, today any colors are welcome. And it is also in vogue to highlight the hole of the nail with varnish instead of the tip.
Pale pink, light blue, delicate mint tones, muted lemon, blue, coral, lilac and salad colors – you can choose whichever is more to your liking! The main thing is to make an openwork pattern on a couple of fingers: flowers, leaves, a net. All this is manually carefully applied with the thinnest brush to the dried varnish and gives the manicure elegance.
If you love an animal print, then keep in mind – it looks too defiant on long nails. And if they are also sharply sharpened … Do not frighten potential suitors! And in general, there should not be much “beast”! One detail in the form will be enough. That is, if you are already wearing a leopard skirt, it is hardly worth complementing it with the same marigolds.
Squares, triangles, circles – randomly or with a fair amount of perfectionism – at the peak of popularity! They can be made as two-color or completely different. We also take note of ovals, rhombuses and stripes. By the way, an interesting idea – to make nails in the form of office shirts with ties – the bosses will definitely appreciate!
Drawings of peacock feathers, mysterious signs and other ethnic themes began to be in demand. All this is done by hand – no stencils. So the result depends not only on the client’s imagination, but also on the talent of the master!
Sequins, rhinestones … Women of fashion love this manicure! Rhinestones are laid out both piecewise and in a certain order. Many people like the cross on their ring fingers, while others choose completely pebbled nails. However, experts advise to “wear” it with evening dresses, to club parties. In the afternoon, it is better to change to something more concise. A new feature is the velvet coating.
Practice shows that in most cases, durable coatings are used, such as, for example, Vinylux. According to the assurances of the consultants and the clients themselves, this varnish lasts for about a week.
If you want to embellish your nails, as they say, from the inside, then use the Japanese technique. It is indicated after prolonged use of persistent varnishes to restore the nail structure. The essence of the procedure is to rub a mineral paste into your nails before applying the varnish, which contains extracts of seaweed, keratin and pearl powder. It literally “seals” brittle areas and irregularities in the nail.
If time does not allow us to spend a couple of hours in the salon, we do a simple manicure at home on our own.
You will need: a file for natural nails, polishing, scissors for removing cuticles, a pusher or trimmer for manicure, nippers, a ceramic nail file or pumice stone, nail polish remover and cotton pads, a bowl of hot water, liquid soap and bath salt (if not completely salon!), cuticle remover and hand cream. By the way, hydrogen peroxide is also useful in case you get hurt.
So, with a file we give the desired shape, by polishing – we grind the surface so that it becomes perfectly even and smooth, then the varnish will fit perfectly. An important rule: only dry nails can be filed and sanded from the edges to the center. As for the cuticle, it’s a simple matter: we apply a special cream, wait a couple of minutes, then keep it in a hot bath for 10 minutes and remove it if it has exfoliated, or we simply move it to the base of the nail plate. What are the wire cutters for? For deburring. If they are not there, do not forcefully pull the skin – a wound will form. If the pads of the fingers and palms are hardened, three of them, previously soaked, with pumice. We smear our hands with cream. We complete the manicure by degreasing the nails with a nail remover, followed (optionally) by applying a new varnish. At this stage, we can also experiment – why not try to make a geometric drawing? We take several colors of varnish, first apply one layer, wait until it dries well. We glue half of the nail (for example, or some part of it), paint the unsealed half in a different color. Remove the strip. Let it dry again and carefully remove the tape. And so on until you are satisfied with your color geometric expression!
