Recently, the red gradient on the nails has been especially popular. This is such a manicure in which one color smoothly passes into another. Red color always looks spectacular. If you combine several shades, you can achieve a truly royal manicure. Speaking of red nails, it is important to understand that these are not necessarily bright saturated plates. Fashionable shades include burgundy, strawberry, terracotta, pink, raspberry. Well, let's try to figure out how to create a fashionable red manicure gradient.
Ombre or gradient?
The gradual lightening or darkening of the tips of the nails by several tones is called not only a gradient, but also the buzzword ombre. They also use the complex name Dip Dye, or strip manicure. Both ombre and gradient mean the same thing - smooth flowing from one color to another. For the red palette, a transition from burgundy to raspberry, then to pink is possible. Ombre means flawless transition of tones. Some tonal boundaries may be visible in the gradient. Dip Dye is used when mixing completely different shades, such as red and black or red and white.
Red gradient with transition
The easiest way is to make red stripes with a transition. What does that require? Take 5 varnishes of red color, but different in shades. Cover each plate from the thumb to the little finger in turn with different shades with a smooth transition of color. If you do not have 5 shades of red, then create them using white varnish.
Cover the first nail with burgundy varnish. For the second nail, prepare on a special palette a mixture of dark red and white. You will get a tone shade lighter than the previous one. For the third nail, add even more white polish to get a light red color. The last nail will turn out a pale pink hue.
