Trendy colors of gel nail polish for winter and autumn
Gel polish gives the girl the opportunity to forget about manicure correction for several weeks. A good master will not only paint the nails in the color that the client likes, but also talk about the fashion trends of the season. He will explain what form of nails is mainstream, what exactly is the best way to decorate a manicure so as not to look stupid, how to evoke enthusiastic male looks and envious female ones. If the shape of the nails is a fairly stable value, then the fashion for the actual color of gel polish changes every season: paddle-summer and autumn-winter.
How to choose a shade
The relevance of the color scheme, first of all, depends not only on fashion, on the season, but also on your color type.. Cold color types (summer and winter) will not go with warm shades, they will add yellowness to the skin of the hands. For warm color types (spring and autumn), cold shades will give the hands a cyanotic senile color.
Manicurists have their own basic rule regarding the choice of colors for painting nails in autumn and winter. This season, very bright colors are acceptable, which look out of place in summer, and in some places even vulgar: scarlet, cherry, blue, purple and even black - all heavy and deep colors that are associated with evening make-up and exquisite expensive fabrics.And, of course, do not forget that “cold” girls need to choose varnishes with a blue undertone, and “warm” ones with yellow.
Rules are made to be broken, and this fall-winter season, all pastel shades are a hit: lavender, cream, turquoise, pink, blue, violet, pale green. True, their choice is seriously limited by the length of the nail plate and the regrown edge.
The ratio of color and length
If your nails are short then you know that dark glossy colors will look more spectacular on them, which visually lengthen the nail plate and add elegance to the fingers. You can also safely “wear” metallic, “glass” and “craquelure” (the effect of cracked earth).
For medium length nails choose any color of varnish, except for "nude" and decorate it with sand effect, holographic, mirror coating. This is the most convenient nail length, because it does not limit its owner in choosing colors.
For those who wear long nails even in the autumn-winter season, bright colors should be abandoned, because they look vulgar on the hands and are not suitable for everyday wear. Owners of long nails (longer than half of the nail plate) just fit pastel shades.
To swarthy-armed ladies it is not recommended to apply light varnishes this season, even if the length of the nail allows. The fact is that in this case, a sharp transition is visible between pastel pink or lavender varnish and reddish skin around. To make the varnish look decent, you need to have the perfect shape of the nail and apply the coating flawlessly.
Design
In addition to the standard basic rules, there are seasonal trends that are relevant for no more than a year. For example, in the autumn-winter season of this year, nails that are as close to natural as possible are in trend.This means that long and beak-shaped forms are a thing of the past, the time has come for nails, the length of which is not more than 2-3 mm, and the shape is best oval or almond-shaped. The fact is that this is the most practical length with which a woman will not have to give up either manicure or standard household chores that are inconvenient to do with long nails.
This season is still relevant "lunar" manicure. This is how hands were decorated in ancient Greece, leaving the hole of the nail unpainted. This season, the moon manicure has changed and is considered an effective way to decorate the fingers in this way: the hole and the edge of the nail plate are one color, and the nail itself is another. Another option for manicure is the inversion of colors on the ring finger.
For a long time, the monochromatic coating of all fingers, except for the ring finger, was the hit of the season. It was allowed to draw on it or decorate it with rhinestones. Now it is most relevant to additionally paint the tips of the nails in the color of the varnish of the ring finger.
Judging by the analysis of fashion trends, ombre (gradient) will remain at the peak of popularity for another two or three seasons., black and red combination, blue-violet and pink-blue will be especially fashionable.
If you want to choose a separate color of gel polish for each finger, then when choosing a color, start not from complementary (additional), but from analog or monochromatic combinations.
That is, you need to apply color to the fingers in the order in which they are located on the color wheel - three adjacent ones and their shades, one color and its shades.
Nail decoration
The trend to decorate each nail with a separate pattern, strazik, bow and sticker is a thing of the past. The entire manicure should not produce a feeling of tackiness and "collective farm".Rhinestones are only acceptable if you are doing a manicure for a wedding or for the New Year.
An excellent newfangled option would be the "dew effect"when transparent drops of gel are applied to a pair of middle fingers, already varnished. The maximum effect will be achieved if the manicure combines dark green and yellow-orange shades that imitate the "golden autumn".
Covering "sand" is most relevant in winter. Light sand patterns painted on blue nails create a feeling of winter mood. The beauty of this type of coating is that you can apply a pattern on all nails, it will still look airy, without overloading the perception with details.
Winter is also characterized by lace patterns, and it doesn’t matter if they are painted with gel polish or made with thermal stickers. The color scheme of the nail itself is still the same - blue, purple, burgundy, cherry. But the color of "lace" is better to choose white or three or four shades lighter than the main one. Do not choose black, this season it is not held in high esteem.
New Year's manicure with a pattern of Christmas trees, balls, snowmen and snowflakes is permissible only during the holiday itself. Even if you have a desire to create a New Year's mood for yourself early, limit yourself to not so pronounced New Year's paraphernalia.
French manicure
French manicure will never lose its relevance, and, on the contrary, it expands its boundaries and allows the use of not only white and transparent gel polish, but also absolutely incredible color combinations.
A novelty of fashion trends is painting the white tips of the nail plate in red, blue, green. In autumn, it is better to choose a floral ornament, and in winter - a geometric one.
The update also applies to the shape of the tip, it can be made not only straight, but also triangular, wavy, zigzag, rounded edges can even be brought to the nail hole. The only thing that is not allowed is the black tip on natural nails. This type of manicure, although it was popular for a couple of seasons, is now out of fashion.
Since at the peak of naturalness and naturalness in manicure, the black tips began to be perceived as dirty, groomed nails.
If you have a strict dress code at work that does not allow you to wear a manicure that attracts too much attention, then a matte gel polish will be an excellent way out. It extinguishes the main color, reducing its brightness, but at the same time it looks noble and spectacular. A moon or French manicure will look good in combination with a glossy base polish on the hole or tip of the nail and the matte surface of the nail plate.
A boring nude manicure is easy to make attractive if you apply a dotted ornament with a lighter shade or an analog color on the nail plate with varnish.
Thus, in the new autumn-winter manicure fashion season:
- moving away from glossy glamor, excessive decoration of fingers with rhinestones, different patterns on each nail plate and a contrasting combination of colors;
- do not experiment with the shape and length of nails, giving preference to nails of medium length and natural shape;
- choose to cover gel polish natural natural colors or pastel shades.
