Just a couple of decades ago, blue was considered not only ambiguous, but simply an unacceptable color for manicure. Not only the townsfolk, but even the masters of their craft convinced those who doubted that drowned women, urban madmen and those who do not know how to use a hammer only have nails of this color. Later, the blue color began to slowly penetrate nail art, but there was no question of any dominance. It was used only as an extra when painting nails.
Today everything has changed. A manicure in blue tones does not surprise anyone. But in some ways his opponents were right: this color requires due respect. He does not tolerate any negligence. A failure to fall into "their own" shade from the palette is fraught with a complete lack of aesthetics. Does this mean it's better not to take risks? Perhaps you should stick to the traditional beige and pink palette? Not at all! Simply, when choosing a varnish, and when creating a manicure, you should follow simple recommendations. And the choice of design should be approached with a soul. And in this case, a manicure in blue tones will provide increased attention to your well-groomed hands. And the photos in the article will help with the choice.
How to choose a blue varnish
Choosing a varnish in the market, you can significantly save. But it is unlikely that a seller selling inexpensive cosmetics will provide you with a palette. And one cannot be sure of quality. A budget purchase is likely to go to the trash in the very near future.
Trust good manufacturers, it is always justified. It is not at all necessary to pay fabulous money for a bottle of varnish; there is a good product in the middle price segment. Specialized stores and official distributors of cosmetics always give the client the opportunity to make sure that he will get exactly what he wants. Some even provide probes. Never neglect this possibility in the case of blue varnish! For the shades of this gamut, this is more than relevant. A poorly selected blue can create an effect of pain or just look on your nails faded and inexpressive.
If you don’t have the opportunity to try on nail tips or varnish with a probe, follow the rule that it is better to choose warm colors and varnish in warm colors. And vice versa.
French
For many years, French manicure has not left the pages of glossy magazines, catwalks and current portfolios of the most fashionable nail design masters. It would seem that his topic was fully disclosed: we saw white-beige classics, and multi-colored neon stripes, and painting of the overgrown part, and rhinestones, and piercings, and much more. But apparently, this is the case when we can talk not about the trend, but about the style. Yes, and make it easy. A French manicure in blue tones, the photo of which is located below, it is quite possible to create it yourself using ordinary varnish and shellac (of course, if you have a lamp).
To make the pattern neat, use special strips for the jacket, which are sold in nail design stores.
Bright colors of summer
A blue and yellow manicure is a great idea for a beach, picnic, travel. These colors are associated with the sun, sand, clear summer sky and, of course, with the sea. If such a manicure is just what you are looking for, feel free to get down to business! Shades of blue go well with yellow. Varnishes of these colors can be used to make a moon manicure, paint nails in any order, beat the idea of a “special nail”, or make a painting presented in the next photo.
As you can see, nothing complicated, but the result looks very impressive. Use thin brushes to create a picture.
Sparkling neon
If your plans include going to a nightclub or to a beach disco, do not miss the opportunity to shine in the spotlights! Neon manicure in blue tones can easily be done independently.
50 shades of ... blue!
A manicure in blue and blue with a color transition looks very stylish. This idea has been around for several years, but such a design does not lose popularity. To create it, you will need several varnishes in blue shades. Sort them from dark to light and apply to the nails one at a time.
Such a manicure is a great idea for everyday style, but this technology can be used for special occasions. Apply gold or silver varnish over the cover through the stencil, decorate with half beads or rhinestones, glue the decals. In a word, nails painted in different shades of the same color are a wonderful base for creative experiments.
Water manicure in blue tones.
The technique of applying drawings to the nails with the help of water definitely deserves to try to master it. To do this, you will need a shallow container with ordinary water, a varnish of 3-4 shades of blue, a needle and a sponge with a solvent. Drop a few drops of each varnish on water in random order, mix the strips with a needle. Pry off the varnish film with your fingers and let it dry. It remains to gently wipe the residue from the skin around the nails.
Do not be afraid if the first time you can’t achieve your plan. Water manicure is not an easy task, but here everything is decided by practice.
Royal combination
A manicure in blue tones with gold is a great idea for the New Year holidays, a romantic date, a corporate party. So that it does not look vulgar, do not overdo it with gold and glitter. If you use these colors, consider what kind of jewelry you will wear. It is unlikely that a combination of gold lacquer and silver or bronze rings will be successful.
Blue varnish is far from being combined with any stones. For example, a gentle carnelian will look faded against a blue background, and the color of turquoise may look dirty. Try on the rings in advance to avoid troubles on an important evening.
Marine theme
A manicure in red and blue tones is a great idea for a party in a marine style. That's where imagination, creativity and taste can be shown!
With this classic combination it's hard to go too far. Paint your nails in random order and apply the image of anchors, steering wheels, nautical knots. If you are not sure of your own artistic talent, use decals. They allow you to get an excellent result.
Forever Fashionable Gradient
Coloring with a transition of color is suitable for everyday style, and for creating holiday images. Manicure in white and blue tones using the technique of "gradient" is easy to do.
To do this, cover your nails with a layer of white polish, let it dry. Put a drop of blue and a drop of white varnish on the sponge, rub the border with a toothpick, attach to the nail. If the varnish protrudes beyond the nail, remove the residue.
As you can see, blue varnish is suitable for creating many interesting images.
