Such a fashionable ombre
The smooth transition from one color to another has gained tremendous popularity over the past two seasons. This idea of manicure in two colors looks unusual, stylish and modern. Color transition can be carried out both vertically and horizontally.
The gradient is performed as a single color, but its different shades, and completely different, contrasting colors. The main condition is the blurring of the transition boundary.
The technique is as follows:
- The varnishes of the selected colors are applied to the nails on a smooth, even surface next to each other.
- Using a thin brush or a toothpick, gently mix the borders of two varnishes.
- Next, a special soft sponge is dipped in the resulting color and imprinted on the nails.

Feng Shui
This is a variant of a simple two-color manicure. The technique of its implementation is very simple: several nails are painted with one color, and any two are painted with another. A popular option is when the nails on the ring finger and little finger differ in color from the rest.
Apply for this manicure in two colors as completely different, contrasting colors, and different shades of the same color.
Some girls, connoisseurs of the intricacies of Asia, correlate the shade of nail polish with personal harmony. For them, the contrast of colors on different fingers means the following:
- if the thumbs are highlighted in a separate color, this will contribute to intellectual development, career growth, and will also give inspiration;
- highlighted indicative "attracted" pep, vitality and energy;
- middle fingers will attract financial well-being;
- nameless - symbolize love, a rush of feelings and inner harmony;
- an emphasis on the little fingers will contribute to inner peace, peace of mind and poise.
In addition to the color difference, two selected nails can be decorated with rhinestones, small drawings or stamps.
Two-color print: geometry in color
Nail art always looks beautiful and creative. And drawings made in two colors are no less relevant. More specifically, we are talking about simple, geometric patterns.
Two-color prints can be the following: ordinary stripes, polka dots, diagonals, rhombuses, corners, a split nail color in half.
Some patterns will require stencils or adhesive strips for convenience.
In this design, combinations of matte and glossy colors will look advantageous.
Simple geometric patterns and patterns include: rhombuses, smooth lines, stripes, triangles. You can recreate such drawings on the nail at home. One has only to stock up on special stencils.
All elementary drawings can be created using a needle. The work is carried out with dry varnish.
Manicure with simple symbols, hieroglyphs.
Instead of geometry on the nails, you can depict simple drawings, symbols or hieroglyphs. This pattern will emphasize your personality.
Moon manicure
This contrasting manicure is also called the “reverse jacket”, since the semicircle is not painted on the top of the nail, but on its base.
For a novice master, this technique can cause difficulties, and without the help of a stencil, the design may not work. But in experienced manicurists, the hand is already full, and they easily draw a semicircle with a brush.
You can try to make such a design at home. To do this, first you need to apply the main color to the entire nail plate. It should be noted that this color will set the coloring of the lower semicircle. When the first stage passes, using a special stencil, the second color is applied, circling the semicircle.
Thus, in such a design, colors can be combined any, as absolutely contrasting, and different tones. Golden or silver holes with sparkles look advantageous.
Alternatively, the nail hole can be left colorless, covering it only with colorless varnish. Absolutely any varnish is suitable for colorless varnish, and the hole can be decorated with rhinestones or broths.
Color combinations: what to choose
Correctly arranging colors and shades is also a kind of art, even if it comes to manicure in two colors. After all, choosing two beautiful colors from the palette, at the end of the work, we can conclude that they do not look at all in tandem and the manicure is a complete tastelessness.
Then what are the best combinations of two colors for manicure?
- Shades similar to each other: purple and blue, red and orange, blue and green, etc. In the color palette, similar tones are next to each other.
- Monochrome colors are a variant of a two-color manicure with shades of the same color, which vary in saturation: blue-blue, red-burgundy, etc.
- Contrast colors are those that are opposite each other in the color wheel: red-green, yellow-purple, etc.
- Universal shades are those that blend perfectly with absolutely all colors: white, black, gold, silver.
For each case, your own manicure
The uniqueness of manicure in two colors lies in the fact that by arranging two colors, you can choose a design for absolutely any occasion.
The following colors are suitable for an official event or for everyday working days: pale pink, white, coffee and beige tones.
For a party or celebration, you can choose the classic red, chocolate, silver, golden, rich purple and so on.

Do not lose sight
Manicure in two colors on one nail or on the whole hand is not particularly difficult to do. But even a couple of colors can ruin the whole design if they are not chosen correctly.
Therefore, you should adhere to 2 simple rules that will help create a beautiful, neat manicure:
