Festive manicure
Every girl knows that a festive look consists not only of beautiful and solemn clothes, bright makeup and stylish hairstyles. An important element of this image is a festive manicure. It demonstrates the significance of a particular case and allows the woman to be in the spotlight. Such a manicure differs from everyday design, bringing a festive mood to the style.
Peculiarities
The first thing that betrays the triumph of the occasion is highlighting part of the nail with glitter. Such a manicure attracts attention, even if the design is based on a jacket, plain classic or moon design. Chic and shine are the first signs of design.
Festive manicure immediately catches the eye: colorful decorative elements speak about it. These are not just modest single accents: the design idea for the holiday is different from the boring and colorful everyday design options.
In the festive design of nails, the freedom to choose colors and decor is not limited. In addition to the pigment, base, primer and finish necessary for the base and fixing the result, stamping, sliders, sparkles, art, contours, decorative adhesive tapes, rhinestones and microbeads are widely used. However, this is not just multicolored: such a manicure implies a thorough study of the composition, obeying a specific theme.
Significance is one of the features of such a manicure: often the design indicates the theme of the holiday, whether it is an engagement, wedding, party, birthday, New Year, Christmas, Easter or Halloween. Often, certain colors of the holiday are taken as the basis:
- white and silver - for the wedding;
- red, green, white - At Christmas;
- gentle pastel - for a birthday;
- orange, black - for Halloween;
In addition to tones, symbolic patterns are used (Christmas trees, gifts, bows, hearts, crowns, flowers, lace, etc.). Moreover, it is not necessary that the drawings on the nails be repeated: the main rule of harmony is to combine the composition through color.
Festive manicure makes nails super-beautiful. In this case, the shape and length of the nail plates does not matter: it can be straight, oval, sharp. The only thing worth paying attention to is the identity of the length and shape of all nails.
Gold and silver on the nails are irreplaceable colors of the holiday. More often they frame the patterns and demonstrate the special solemnity of the occasion.

Gradient
An interesting and unique nail design for the holiday, which will be the finishing touch of the outfit, can be done using the ombre technique. The surface of the nail plates is covered with a pigment of different colors with a smooth transition of shades. When the background is ready, you can decorate it with stamping in contrast to the background, and place small rhinestones on top. Performing such a design, you can leave two or three nails for an accent, painting them in one color, and then decorating them with an elegant sticker to match the shades used.
Lunar French

It is better to cover the nameless fingers with completely white color, and then place pictures on them in the form of a golden crown. All that remains is to decorate the accents with rhinestones - and the festive manicure for going out is ready: stylish and royally luxurious!

Having covered the background with pigment, veins are drawn with a needle or contour, then the upper edge (smile) is painted over in the form of a wing and a few strokes are added with a contrasting color.
Geometry
An interesting, truly colorful and festive manicure can be created using pigment powder, black, silver shades and a few transparent rhinestones. The highlight of the art is the uniqueness of each nail:

- using a dehydrator, degrease the nails, preparing them for staining;
- to strengthen nails, they are treated with an acid-free primer;
- then a thin layer of the base is applied, not forgetting the end of the nail;
- having primed the surface with a base coat, apply a pigmented varnish;
- perform art (design with sliders, stamping);
- the surface is treated with a fixative (finish) with a sticky layer;
- the pattern is accentuated with rhinestones.
