Delicate manicure with gel polish
Gel polish occupies a strong position in the market of cosmetology services and among women who value their beauty and time. A relatively simple technology makes manicure affordable not only for salon visitors, but also for girls who prefer to take care of the beauty of their nails at home. Increasingly, women are choosing a gentle version of manicure with gel polish. And not in vain, because due to the high strength of the coating, nails can be worn for several weeks, and if they are made in delicate colors, the period of wear can increase by another week.
Peculiarities
Changing in turn fashion trends inevitably return to natural shades and discreet design. Natural beauty goes hand in hand with the fashion for certain lengths and shapes. Long, unnaturally shaped nails should give way to nails of moderate length. The length of the "trend" nail plate does not exceed five millimeters. A gentle manicure will look perfect on almond or oval shaped nails.
For fans of the square shape, there is good news - it still remains the same "classic" look, but undergoes some changes. Now the square is slightly rounded at the edges. This "rounded" geometry is called "squonking".
Fans of long nails are better off opting for the almond shape. This year, almonds in light, pastel colors are in fashion.Matte finish, mirror powder, holographic sand, geometric patterns are used as decor.

- Delicate glitter manicure. Sometimes in everyday life you want a little charm, chic and luxury. An ordinary design can be turned into a miniature celebration thanks to materials such as powder, crystals, rhinestones and sequins. The autumn-winter period is the ideal time for such experiments. In autumn, a manicure with golden shiny sand looks organic.Lights sparkle in winter, and for the New Year you often want such nails as sparkling toys on a Christmas tree.
Brilliant designs made with rhinestones have some rules. Too short a nail, unreasonably decorated with rhinestones, looks bulky. It is necessary to decorate nails with stones moderately: no more than three rhinestones per finger.
Owners of long nails are allowed to experiment a little with this issue, since the length allows you not to worry that the nail will seem shorter than it is.
- French. Thousands of women around the world have found the perfect manicure for all occasions. French manicure looks restrained, but at the same time very elegant and stylish. This allows you to combine a manicure with any outfit, regardless of its color and purpose.
The main feature of this type of design is the coloring of the upper edge of the nail plate in white. Often fashionistas resort to the help of special stencils, thanks to which the manicure looks neat.
French design can be more complex: decorated with ornaments, rhinestones and all kinds of patterns.

Masters can create transitions both manually and with the help of a special device - an airbrush. You can combine any gentle tones, either close in color scale, or contrasting. Smooth transitions look interesting anyway. The gradient can be either vertical or horizontal.
Such a manicure can be gentle if you use, for example, a combination of white with blue or pink.
- Lunar manicure, which appeared in the last century, has taken a strong place in the arsenal of tools that the beautiful half of humanity uses to care for their pens. This trend is not accidental: long nails are not in fashion now, and moon manicure looks great on short nails. Lunar, as you know, differs from the classic French manicure in that the contrasting “smile” is drawn not along the edge of the nail, but at its base.
- As for the actual color scheme, stylists suggest choosing natural, discreet options: beige, soft pink, cream, white and others. All pastel shades of lilac, blue, mint, pink will also look good. Such a manicure will emphasize the tenderness and femininity of the image of its owner.

Its essence lies in the fact that the nails remain with transparent areas that are not covered with colored varnish. This option can include a classic French manicure or a moon finish. Transparent varnish stands out with any pattern. The main condition for choosing this design: a clear correspondence to the dissonance between the colored and transparent part.
- Matte manicure in pastel colors. The stores sell special matte varnishes and matting coatings. When choosing a matte manicure, you need to remember that it will look good only on perfectly smooth nails.
- Pale pink manicure. It looks like airy cotton candy. It evokes the most pleasant impressions, like the colors of the Mary Kay brand. In order to give it more sophistication, many decorate it with additional details. Noble pink manicure with lace painting is a real chic. It is easy to lay out various patterns from rhinestones or simply create a drop effect.
- pearl transfusion. This is a sophisticated way to draw attention to the nails. Pearly shade is very difficult to describe in ordinary words. He is magical and unique.
On long nails
The most popular and most common design on long nails is the French manicure. On short ones, the French stripe is almost invisible, and therefore this design is rarely done with a short length. But for owners of long nails, the design opens up a sea of ideas, as it can be made not only in classic white colors, but also with sparkles, bright colors, and foil.
Long nails are a real canvas for artists who want to bring their creative ideas to life. At length, it is easier to create a flower arrangement, draw large-scale drawings, make an "aquarium" and much more. Particularly interesting are the liquid stones, framed by gold foil casting.
On short
Short nails continue to hold a leading position, and this is absolutely not surprising: they are comfortable, they do not break, they look natural, and, as you know, she is now in fashion. However, short nails have another side to them - not every manicure looks elegant on them. A gentle manicure is a real find for owners of small length - fingers look perfect with it.
Whatever design a woman chooses, there are a few rules to follow:
- You can not choose contrasting tones. For example, even pale pink and blue will work better than different shades of beige or just one pink. It is better to mix yellow and sand, purple and lavender, mint and turquoise and other similar colors.
- On short nails there should be a minimum of decor. It will look good on one or two nails and in a discreet version (it can be peas, stripes, flowers, lace). If the ornament is already made, it is better to give preference to vertical lines.
A great option is a monochrome design embellished with a few drops of rhinestones: it looks simple but sophisticated.
