New Year's manicure
New Year is everyone's favorite holiday. This is the night when miracles happen. Almost every person wants to believe in a fairy tale, which is why it is customary to make wishes at midnight.
The Christmas tree is decorated, the house is cleaned and decorated, gifts are prepared for everyone, guests are invited, the menu is thought out - everything is ready for the start of the holiday. But no less important is what to celebrate the New Year in. On this night, every young lady wants to look attractive and feminine. And this means that you need to think over your own image to the smallest detail - outfit, shoes, accessories, jewelry, hairstyle, makeup and, of course, manicure. Well-groomed hands are the visiting card of every representative of the beautiful half of society.
For a fabulous night, I want some special and interesting design of marigolds. New Year's manicure is an opportunity to translate into reality all those ideas and wishes that do not correspond to everyday life.
Peculiarities
The basic rule of New Year's manicure is as follows: forget about the rules, stereotypes and norms! Allow yourself something that in ordinary life you would hardly do.Classic jacket, passionate bright red color, sparkles and mother-of-pearl tints, unusual design, extravagant pattern, rhinestone decor, drawings on New Year's or even children's themes and much more - all these options are suitable for New Year's manicure.
Design Ideas
Every year, the theme of New Year's manicure and fashion trends in festive nail design is discussed at professional forums, in various women's communities and just in live communication. There are options that do not lose their popularity from year to year.
The most common and most popular design ideas among girls are:
- Compliance with the theme of the symbol of the year.
- Winter theme (with snowflakes, Christmas trees, garlands, Christmas decorations, snowmen, imitation of frosty patterns on glass or champagne splashes, sparkling salutes and beautiful fireworks, with a painted Santa Claus or Snow Maiden, and even with deer in Santa Claus cart).
- Manicure in the style of "classic of the genre" (classic French, moon, reverse moon, contrast, lace, ombre style).
- Design with rhinestones and sparkling glitter. Try to correctly combine the colors of varnish and rhinestones so as not to overdo it with brightness and brilliance and not look vulgar.
- Always fashionable and relevant - red manicure.
- Artistic painting (both for the New Year theme and for the universal nail art plan).
- A stylish game of contrasts (a combination of gold and silver with shades of black, emerald green, dark blue, burgundy, deep lilac is suitable for New Year's Eve).
- Original design: marble or natural stone, classic jacket with a shiny base, “broken glass”, imitation of a cracked nail surface, ethnic motifs, drawings with emoticons.
- Manicure in the "cat's eye" technique or manicure using special sand.
Fashion trends
Everyone knows the phrase that fashion dictates its own rules. And for any holiday and thinking through your image, you should prepare in advance. For example, already today, stylists offer many options for decorating nails for a spectacular New Year and Christmas look.
For those who are trying to keep up with fashion, stylists recommend paying attention to the following design variations for women's manicure.
"Broken glass"
A fashion trend that has found a response in the hearts of a huge number of contemporaries. Ideal nail design for parties, youth parties, holidays. Festive 3D nail art is characterized by brightness, chic and brilliance.
Abstract and thematic execution, "gasoline" glass with iridescent tints, spectacular snowflakes in a harmonious combination with a soft milky or light blue background - all this will be relevant and interesting in terms of design for the New Year holidays.
Geometry
The trend is a combination of diverse geometric shapes and elements. It is achieved through the use of different techniques, different-sized brushes and even varnishes of different colors.
Gradient
Everything is simple here - the transition from dark to light, or vice versa, from light to dark. It can be performed both on all nails, and on several. Today, manicure masters offer their clients both sharp and smooth transitions.
"Caviar" style
Thanks to the use of broths, you can give the nails volume. This fashion trend has been in demand over the past few seasons and is not going to lose its popularity according to the opinions of nail artists.
marbling
A novelty in the world of nail design has become the option of designing under a stone (in particular, marble) by creating spectacular "veins". The combination of milky with black "streaks" or black with golden "streaks" are the most fashionable variations of this year. A matte top coat will give the manicure the maximum resemblance to natural marble.
Decorations
A beautiful nail design can only be the first part of a New Year's manicure. Phalangeal rings remain in fashion, with which you can cover both part and the entire finger. For a festive night that happens only once a year, some excesses are allowed.
Mehendi on the hands - henna painting of the hand. Just find a master who will make the drawing beautiful and exquisite. It will be interesting to look at the drawing, which gradually “creeps” from the hand to the nails. To do this, you need to work in tandem with manicure masters and a henna artist.
How to do at home?
Making a New Year's manicure yourself at home is not difficult. Consider a few original options.
Option 1 - creating a geometric pattern on the nails:
- Remove the old varnish, remove the cuticle, polish the nail plate and shape the nails (round, rectangular, pointed).
- Apply a base coat that protects the nail from direct contact with the varnish.
- The first layer is a golden or silver varnish. Let dry well.
- Stick strips on your nails (available at any store with a wide range of manicure products) in the form of a geometric pattern. Such stickers can be stuck on two or three nails of each hand, or on all five. It depends on what will be the design of the manicure at the finish.
- The second layer - a red glossy varnish, is applied to the surface of the nail plate, including strips of adhesive paper. After the varnish has dried, carefully peel off the strips.
- The third layer - apply a fixer for varnish on the nails.
Option 2 - "draw" a Christmas tree on one of the nails:
- Preparatory stage or hygienic manicure. Rounded or square nails are suitable for this design.
- The first layer is the foundation or base.
- The second layer is a varnish of a light pastel shade (light beige, milky, pale blue, light yellow).
- Attach two adhesive strips to the nail plate. The shape is a triangle, the base of which goes to the nail hole.
- The third layer - paint over the triangle with varnish of a rich green color. Let dry. Now apply a varnish with a large shimmer that will imitate Christmas tree decorations. After the varnish is dry, carefully remove the strips. The Christmas tree should be done on one finger of each hand.
- Fourth layer - cover the entire nail with a dull colorless varnish or varnish with small sparkles.
- Fifth layer - apply a fixer for varnish on the nails.
Option 3 - create a garland:
- Get a hygienic manicure.
- Apply a protective layer - the base under the varnish.
- Cover your nails with light-colored varnish. A milky tone is best.
- Take an ordinary cotton thread of black (dark blue, gray or brown) color and lay it on one of the nails in the form of a curl.Cover the nail with a colorless matte type varnish. Trim the hanging ends of the thread.
- Glue multi-colored rhinestones. Place them directly next to the thread that serves as the basis of the garland.
- Apply a final coat of varnish.
- Cover the nail with a fixative to keep the design longer.
New Year's manicure of an unusual design is ready. Now you can shine among the guests and not worry about your nails.
Secrets of specialists
Representatives of the world of the fashion and beauty industry advise:
- manicure should match the outfit and image, while it is not necessary to observe a single color scheme;
- choose a manicure according to the shape and length of the nail plate (for example, various intricate drawings and paintings are more suitable for long nails, but on short ones it will be interesting to look at a jacket with a shimmer, single decorations with rhinestones, etc.);
- experiment - do not be afraid to try something new and unusual for yourself.
And the key point: listen to the recommendations of experts and do a manicure in advance. Don't leave everything until the last day!
If you plan to decorate your nails yourself, then it is better to do a manicure a day or two before New Year's Eve, so that there is time for correction and adjustment if necessary.
If you plan to make an appointment with a manicure master, make an appointment in advance, as often on the eve of the New Year and Christmas holidays, the number of clients in beauty salons increases several times.
Remember that postponing a manicure to the last day, you can completely be left without it!
