Manicure at sea

In summer, there is an opportunity not only to relax, but also to take care of the condition of your hands, try a new style of clothing or cosmetics. Manufacturers produce new product lines for each summer season, and makeup artists recommend using fashion trends to create their image. Although marine manicure basically remains a classic, every year there are new cosmetic products and ideas on how to decorate your nails in accordance with the situation and lifestyle.

Manicure at sea turns out to be attractive not only due to the fact that it is tempting to try it, going on holiday to another country or finding yourself in a new environment. The nautical style itself is associated with such concepts as freedom, carelessness, looseness, joy and proximity to the elements. The variety of options for such a manicure is striking both by the combination of colors and the opportunity to tell the story of your holiday by the sea with the help of laconic but attractive decorations that complement the manicure - rhinestone, sparkles, stickers and drawings.

Vacation time gives us the opportunity to choose the most interesting and new manicure style. Beach manicure borrows ideas from nature itself - colors, texture, drawings are dictated by what we see around us, being at the sea. Manicure is naturally complemented by selected fashionable swimsuit, shoes, accessories. This creates a new image and a special summer mood.

When choosing a marine manicure, the colors that are directly related to the sea, sky, sand, tropical vegetation are honored:

• blue varying degrees of saturation;
• blue;
• white;
• aquamarine;
• turquoise;
• green;
• silver;
• golden.

This summer, all colors and shades are creatively used in beach manicure; the only condition is a reflection of the sea or beach theme in the design.

The sea theme can be realized with the help of wavy intertwining color strips forming a fascinating pattern. The golden overall background of the manicure can be “washed” with a blue or blue pattern on the tip of the nail.

Some fingers can be “dressed” in a striped vest not only in classic white and blue colors, but also practically any other. Bright stripes on the nails - this is the basis of modern marine manicure. It is advantageous to combine striped pattern with a more gentle monophonic version of manicure, animated by a thematic pattern, for example, an anchor or a fish.

The following elements are widely used as decoration:

• rhinestones, which can have the most diverse forms, allowing to beat the theme of the sea and the beach;
• figures depicting fish, dolphins, sea stars, mollusks, shells, algae, ships, yachts, tiller, lifebuoys, palm trees, pebbles, corals, pearls;
• stickers with thematic drawings;
• beads;
• gold glitter.

Since summer is amazingly fast, and I want to try different versions of nail design, then it is unlikely an attractive idea to make a lasting manicure with the help of gel polish. As you know, after removing it, the nails need to be given some time to relax, and you want to look stylish during such a rare vacation every day. On the other hand, if diversity does not belong to your priorities, then applying gel polish will help you create the perfect manicure for a long time.You can change the decoration of nails without harming the lacquer surface.

In a fashion bright and original combinations of colors - blue and gold, pink and white, red and blue, orange and green. However, the most common colors of manicure for the rest time are blue, white, green and gold.

For teenagers who prefer a catchy nail design, unexpected combinations of colors are suitable, including such a contrasting option, like a combination of black and white.

If you don’t like the radical option, combine more delicate or rich colors (garnet, pink, peach, wine) with gold or silver.

Another trend is the use of gradient technique of blending colors from a lighter to a darker shade. This technique allows you to simulate the wave of the sea: the waves of color so smoothly overlap each other, which as a result produce the impression of swaying water.

Classic french can be supplemented with decorations in the form of fruits, which will give a refined and concise basis a fresh summer look.

In general, in the current season, the use of bright colors of lacquer, advantageously highlighting the tanned skin, and thematic decor is welcomed. The length of the nails may be what you want, but neat short oval or rectangular nails are now in fashion again. If we are talking about extended nails, then the average length is exactly what we need.

To the chosen option of manicure you did not disappoint at the wrong time, choose resistant quality materials. Neon shades that are popular among young people are advantageous in terms of their brightness, but lose their qualities after a long stay in the sun. To avoid this, use a base before applying the varnish.

Gradient manicure can have any range, in particular, pink-lilac, peach-beige, yellow-orange. These quite thematic shades are perfectly combined with rhinestones and sparkles. The shape of the nails can be rectangular or semi-oval, which allows to demonstrate the smoothness of the transition from one shade to another.

The texture of the manicure can also reflect the environment. It can be brilliant and perfectly level, like a calm sea on a sunny day. Or the texture may be rough, with various inclusions imitating loose sand. Such an texture, in particular, will help to hide some defects (irregularities) of the nails, which could not be corrected earlier by other means. There are so many ideas for summer that the choice of the most perfect of options turns out to be the main problem.

If you prefer a French manicure, it also allows you to experiment with it in order to achieve a true marine or beach character. The sea jacket is elegant and laconic: classic white tips and a dark blue background, decorated with a golden anchor; a transparent pearl background and blue tips, complemented by bright stickers or rhinestones. Adding a bright red color will give a discreet jacket a special piquancy.

Bright and beautiful nail designs can be done in hundreds of different ways. The combination of colors, textures, patterns and jewelry allow you to expand the perfect variants of marine manicure to infinity. By adding an image of a palm tree or a shell, you not only complete your chosen idea, but also create a special carefree mood for yourself and those around you.

Jewelry, in addition to its main function, can capture impressions and memories as well as photographs or a diary. Perceiving design as another way to accumulate and transmit information, you will move to a higher level in the improvement of this art.

Your personal experience, hints of designers or memories of past years can form the basis of a beach manicure. First you need to decide what you need to translate your idea. A set of necessary tools and tools includes:
