Manicure with gray varnish

There is an opinion that the gray color (in this case, the main tone), including varnish with such a shade, is very boring and dull, that the nails should be bright and cheerful, otherwise others will never pay attention to you, taking you for uninteresting gray mouse.

It is clear that a bright color looks attractive, as well as well-chosen clothing or bright makeup. But how many opportunities exist to beautifully combine gray shades - many do not even know about it.

Over the past few seasons, stylists and designers have noted that the gray color is no longer considered something second-rate and the attention of fashionistas has increased markedly to it. Even the leader among all gray tones has been determined, which is named one of the most popular this year - it is called "Shark Skin" and is considered intelligent.

This state of affairs forced professional manicurists to seriously engage in the development of the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bdesigning a nail plate with a gray color, as a result of which its enormous possibilities for such an application were opened.

In fact, by mixing two colors of an achromatic nature (black and white), we managed to get the main color. It turned out to be just as achromatic and absolutely did not arouse any sympathy from artists, designers and other decorators.

It has always been believed that if a woman chooses gray shades for herself in clothes, then she is an uninteresting person - unsociable and boring. But people in bright outfits have always been judged as self-confident, proud and knowing how to communicate correctly. But it turned out to be a lot of charm in gray tones, what distinguishes them in the first place is the notes of wisdom and intelligence.

Designers call the main tone “friendly” for its ability to blend seamlessly with completely different shades. Gray lacquer manicure will be the perfect combination for pastel colors. However, it will be no less harmoniously combined with:

• blue
• white;
• dark blue;
• pink;
• mustard yellow;
• emerald color.

According to experts, a gray manicure will look most advantageous on a medium-length nail plate. If they are long enough, then it is better to give preference to a lighter tone, otherwise the manicure will look too bold.But for fashionistas with short nails, it is quite acceptable to paint them in the darkest of all gray shades, and from the outside it will look quite organic.

Simple options are designed for girls who do not yet have much experience in all the nuances of working with the nail plate, and therefore these works are not laborious and easy to do. These are the methods that helped the silver-gray coating reach great heights and be among the first manicure ratings.

Many girls liked the design with a smooth transition from one color to another, so this technique has not lost popularity for several seasons. Most of all, there were lovers of the horizontal ombre technique, when the edge of the nail turns out to be darker. Visually, this staining lengthens the nail plate.

There is a desire to experiment with different shades on your own nails, and there are so many of them that it is almost impossible, you can find the following way out: cover each of the nails in turn with a lighter tone. To do this, you just need to prepare to get as many varnishes as you decide to cover your fingers with different tones - five or ten.

The video below will help you make an ombre with a basic gray varnish.

French is also called the "designer's smile", and experiments with gray gel polish are quite appropriate here. On its soft gray base, a “friendly” tone will allow almost any color to decorate the tip of the nail plate, although it is most suitable for it:

• the black;
• white;
• pink;
• green;
• yellow;
• blue;
• pearly silver tone.

Such design work can easily replace the usual gloss. But this does not mean that you now also need to purchase a gray matte gel polish. Everything turns out to be much simpler - and this is another nuance that many fashionistas do not know about, and the effect is interesting and unexpected. You need to apply the tone of varnish you like from your collection, and on top of it - the finishing coat, but not the usual one, but a special one - matte. The result is a completely different effect - unusual and interesting.

The drawings look perfect on a gray neutral base. Here it is important to follow the rules of contrast, that is, if the image is planned to be dark, it should be placed on the basis of a lighter tone, if the picture is supposed to be light tones, it should be placed on a dark gray background.

When some especially solemn event is planned, the presence of sparkling pebbles will not be superfluous in the design of nails. Moreover, with a neutral base, you can absolutely not be afraid to oversaturate the design with glitter, even if the pebbles are present in large quantities. The lavishness of the decor will be successfully smoothed out with neutral gray, and there will be no talk of bad taste.

With the onset of each new season, designers offer more and more options with gray gel polish. And if nails always look simple and stylish at the same time with such a monochromatic coating, design options based on the main tone are something excellent! What is worth, for example, pink craquelure on a gray base, and it doesn’t take much time to work, but for everyday wear it is a very practical option.

Recently, several new products with a basic design have appeared, which are worth talking about separately.

Experts in the field of manicure consider this particular development to be the most popular in recent times. There is even a tendency to praise metallic silver not only in manicures, but also in outfits. The most appropriate definitions for such a taq are sumptuous and precious, but by no means boring!

Wet asphalt, a shade that resembles black to the maximum, girls who are still very young or those who like such a musical direction as hard rock like to cover their nails. Older ladies treat dark grays as something out of the box, and even very gloomy. Although such a design also has positive aspects - it visually makes the nail plate longer, and reliably masks any surface flaw.

Just as gray eyes with blueness are more beautiful than just gray ones, so a manicure from a mixture of primary and blue colors turns out to be softer and more cheerful than pure gray. You just don’t want to look away from him, his smoky blue noble beauty is so pleasant. Looks good with outfits in cold shades.

This color on the nail plate looks festively elegant - this is a real competitor to the snow-white shade. Only here, before coating, the nail plate must be processed in accordance with all the rules, otherwise any flaw or unevenness will immediately catch the eye and spoil the overall impression. Apply varnish in several layers - so strokes will not be visible.

In this design, two of the most stylish, according to experts, shades for manicure met. Various combinations, stretch marks, additions in the form of rhinestones are possible here. Gray with emerald is great on long sharp nails, which look quite soft with such a coating and not at all impudent.

Such a design will not be striking and will be chosen by those ladies who would not like to attract undue attention to themselves. Although, if it’s not for everyone, then such stylish restraint is very “delicious”!

This trendy blend is best served as a matte finish. Any woman in her collection should have this incredibly beautiful tone. This is the case when it is worth heeding the advice and it is worth looking for such a varnish in specialized stores, because simple mixing is unlikely to achieve the desired result.

This combination is incredibly tender and soft. This is the most versatile of all base tone combinations. Such a coating is suitable for both warm winter clothes and light summer clothes. No wonder many fashion houses so often use lavender and lilac shades in their shows. But in any case, the shade of the manicure should at least slightly differ in tone from the outfit.
