Marine pedicure

During the holidays, which most prefer to take in the summer, there is not only the opportunity, but also the need to take care of the beauty of the legs. This applies not only to their general condition, but also to the pedicure. In summer, shoes are worn, as a rule, open, women spend part of the time on the beach, respectively, there is a chance to show off an original and stylish nail design.

It is no secret that a woman today perceives herself not only as a person with unique features, but also as an object of art, including design. Her body turns out to be a field for experiments, the purpose of which is to create a harmonious and memorable image, to fit it into the environment. Nail design plays a significant role in this image, giving it a finished look.

If you spend the summer at the sea, it is quite natural that the idea to use marine attributes when creating a pedicure appears. Drawings of stones turned by the sea, figures of the inhabitants of the deep sea, yachts and anchors, waves and stars - all these are interesting options for nail design.

The main color scheme of the pedicure should also be naturally associated with the sea. The combination of white and blue, blotches of blue and greenish are the most suitable color combinations for a marine-style pedicure.

Consider the setting in which you intend to showcase your nail design. In a formal setting, at a business dinner, you are unlikely to have such an opportunity, since classic closed shoes will be preferred. But on a date or at a casual friendly party, you can put on defiantly open sandals and stun those around you with a sophisticated pedicure.

Colors and design ideas change every year, but the nautical theme of summer pedicure itself remains always relevant. It merged such characteristics as freedom and ease, freshness and eternal youth. Marine style gives the whole look lightness and relaxedness, allows you to throw off the burden of worries.

In the salons, you can choose the most suitable pedicure option for you, and develop ideas for it yourself or use the tips of experienced designers. There are so many options that your task is to choose what is right for you.

The nautical theme of the pedicure uses not only colors associated with the sea (white and blue colors, aquamarine), but also embellishments that enliven the design, which the nautical theme requires.

The classic marine pedicure is a vest, and color combinations may vary: blue with white, blue with black stripes. Drawings are easy to draw with a thin brush, using a contrasting color (white on a bluish or blue background, blue on a golden or white, etc.), but you can also stick them on.

Nails are decorated with the image of everything that is somehow connected with the beach, the sea and the tropics:

• fish, other inhabitants of the sea (corals, starfish, seahorses, dolphins, whales, jellyfish and even sharks);
• shells;
• anchors;
• steering wheels;
• ships and yachts;
• life buoys;
• pearls;
• palm trees;
• stars, sun and moon;
• sand and pebbles;
• waves;
• algae;
• islands, etc.

In the pictures applied to the nails, one can tell almost the entire history of a vacation by the sea: impressions of the expanses of water, tropical nights, hot beaches, exotic plants, yachts, acquaintance with marine life.

You can make the most beautiful and detailed drawing only on the thumbnail, the remaining nails will help develop the chosen theme. The alternation of different shades and graphics on the toes of one foot looks nice.

A chic pedicure is obtained using a delicate white and blue base color and a brilliant golden color for one nail. (for example, on the ring finger).

A modern marine pedicure is, in fact, a work of art, but you can independently develop an idea and complete drawings of varying degrees of complexity. Start with simple images and don't do a permanent pedicure right away: after it, the nails need to rest, and summer passes too quickly. For experiments, a regular varnish, a set of rhinestones and stickers, several shades of varnish within the marine theme are suitable.

If you prefer graceful conciseness, try using the fashionable technique of depicting a swaying sea element today: using the gradient technique, apply light strokes from delicate turquoise to deep blue of the seabed. Such a design requires patience, but the result of quality artwork is stunning.

Use images of pebbles, shells, corals, starfish and pearls in the composition. An interesting solution is to make some of these figures voluminous with the help of special stickers. Fantasy and taste will tell you the best combination of elements. You should not use everything at once - alternate small pictures on your fingers, and the overall impression will be amazing.

The pedicure looks great, in which a blue background alternates with a pasted golden moon, casting glare on the water surface (which is depicted with light strokes), and a golden-white background with pasted sparkles, symbolizing a beach hot by the sun. Marine pedicure "day-night" requires not only imagination, but also considerable professional skills. It is impossible not to “perpetuate” such beauty with the help of resistant gel polish.

Pedicure begins with putting the feet in order:

• getting rid of calluses;
• softening the skin with hot baths with essential oils;
• polishing rough skin using pumice;
• nutrition and hydration of the feet with a special foot cream.

The nails themselves are also processed:

• the excess cuticle is trimmed;
• the surface of the nails, the space under them is cleaned;
• with the help of a nail file, the shape of the nail plates is corrected.

Next, you need to choose the most suitable varnish color. The most relevant shades of the beach season are:

• blue;
• turquoise;
• blue;
• silvery;
• aquamarine;
• white;
• golden.

You can even use unexpected bright pinks and reds by pairing them with white.If you plan to apply a drawing, keep in mind that it will only look advantageous on the thumbs.

Solid varnish is not the most interesting solution for a marine pedicure. Traditionally, 2-3 colors are used to create white-blue, blue-silver stripes, which are located both vertically (to visually lengthen the nail) and horizontally. Nails on different fingers can have their own color and pattern, but the general idea should be the same. Gamma varies depending on the situation and weather.

Using bright red strokes or red embellishments can be the highlight of your nail design. Do not be afraid to experiment, but know the measure. Do not overload your nails with decorations, especially if they are uncomfortable to wear in closed shoes - the vagaries of the weather this year are unpredictable.

An even pattern can be created using special adhesive strips. Paint the nail even white or apply a transparent colorless varnish. Wait until it dries completely and stick the desired number of strips. Apply another layer of turquoise, bluish or blue varnish, again wait until it dries. Peel off the strips and enjoy the result.

Try also the unexpected solution of the French marine pedicure. Choose white for the base and ultramarine for the tips, or navy blue for the base and red for the French line. Try to diversify the pedicure with rhinestones of various shapes (there are even in the form of shells), gold sparkles that imitate sea sand.

Creating a flawless image is impossible without foot care.An excellent pedicure, fashionable light shoes, the opportunity to appear in a new society and in a new look allow you to throw off the burden of the past winter, relax physically and mentally. Never before has self-care been so pleasant and full of design ideas as in the summer by the sea.
