Manicure with red lacquer
Hands give a woman, as they say, "with the head" - on how well-groomed the fingers, the success of the image in general and the level of self-confidence. Manicure with red lacquer will undoubtedly attract the attention of others, but for the effect to be 100%, the coating must be done perfectly.
Features
A woman with scarlet nails will not leave anyone indifferent. Red lacquer is courage, sexuality, self-confidence, desire to be in the center of attention. And although a manicure of this color is, of course, a classic, it is difficult to compare it with the “little black dress” that suits “both feasting and peace”. Red nails are good when they are relevant.
There is a concept "manicure etiquette»: What colors and lengths of nails are relevant in a given situation.
Red is best to wear on special occasions.
Bright scarlet nails, undoubtedly, would be appropriate at a party, a cocktail, a disco. The festive evening event is also an excellent occasion to get a red bottle from the shelf. If you have a date, you need to decide on the mood. For those whose relationships are in the “candy-bouquet” stage (going to the cinema, walking along the embankment, romantic evening on the observation deck), it is better to choose a more delicate shade: pink, beige. But for the incendiary evening “with the continuation” you can make up the nails with a bright red color.
You can go with bright nails on vacationespecially if the trip is going to be active and fun. Those who want solitude and peace, a quiet holiday with family, go to detox, it is better to choose a more modest color. In any case, for the holidays it is better to use gel varnish.
For all these reasons, you can choose and options with a nail design: for example, on one (usually, ring) finger. Quite admissible are drawings, rhinestones, applications and ornaments in other techniques.
Whether to wear this nail color in the office is a moot point. Much depends on the individual style and features of the dress code in the enterprise. If the scarlet varnish is not prohibited, then you can afford to carry it to the office, but it is best to use the average length of a natural nail. Win-win - burgundy nail polish manicure wine.
Having figured out whether a bright manicure would be appropriate, you need to competently make it. Red will not tolerate blunders! ABOUTGeneral rules for applying nail polish to everyone are well known. Features of the use of scarlet varnish:
- It requires perfectly groomed skin of the hands. Bright varnish will attract the attention of others to the hands. Each scratch and each burr will be visible. To take care of the skin of the hands before you do such a manicure, you need at least a week.
- In addition to well-groomed skin, Hands and fingers should be beautiful in their own right. It does not make sense to draw attention to hands if they are not the best part of the body.
- Coverage should be perfect: chips, scratches, dents will be very clearly visible. If the coating on one of the nails is damaged, it must be repainted!
- Experts advise buying red lacquer from a good manufacturerso that it is a qualitative product with a convenient brush.

Many women today prefer to use gel polishes: they are very persistent and have “volume”, look better on hands. But since you don’t look like red nails for a long time, there’s no point in using such a bright gel polish. It will be enough and the usual, but good quality. After a party or a date, it can easily be taken off in order to go to work in the morning.
Design Ideas
The latest trends in manicure - definitely for all shades of red. Scarlet, wine, plum, raspberry shades are popular.
If you managed to find a good shade of red, you can especially not fool around the design and make the usual glossy monochrome coating. This option is suitable for women of all ages and for most situations in which red lacquer is generally appropriate.
- The novelty of the last season - matte finish - remains relevant today.. As if pripylenny, such a manicure looks expensive and adds to the image of rigor (a good option for the office!). There are homemade ways to make a matte finish, for example, hold still not dried nails over a pan of boiling water or add a little cornstarch to the bottle. However, it is better not to experiment and buy a matte varnish.
Some companies have a special topcoat that "mattes" gloss varnish and at the same time fixes all layers.
- Matt varnish looks good solobut based on it you can fantasize. For example, create a pattern of the same shade in gloss: stripes, peas, geometric pattern, flowers.
- Very fashionable design, reminiscent of "french": The matte surface of the nail of the same shade is a glossy tip.
- Moon manicure looks good with red. This term refers to the floor where the moon is accented - a white semicircle at the base of the nail. You can take two different shades of red, and you can play in contrast, outlining the moon with white, black, brown, or other suitable colors. A semicircle may not be completely filled, but only indicated by a strip. In any case, this option will be bright, fun and eye-catching.
- You can combine matte and moon manicure in one. Some designers even boldly combine the moon and french, emphasizing both the hole and the tip of the nail.
Other versions of the moon manicure - when on the hole is drawn not a semicircle, but a “smile line”. In addition, the base of the nail can be distinguished by a triangular pattern.
- For a party or other fun event, you can paint a bright red lacquer rubbing. These are special powders that, when rubbed into nails, create shine and play.
On the layer of gel polish, dried under the lamp, special glitter is applied abundantly, which are rubbed into the nails with your hands (while the upper layer is still sticky). The smaller the sparkles, the more effective the result will be. Rubbed into the dust, rubbed on 2 layers, they create a fully mirror coating. And if you cover your nails with a glossy top, the result will exceed all expectations.
In a provocative and bold image, this design of nails can be supplemented with varnish shoes or a handbag and, of course, red lips will be a faithful companion of glossy nails (although this is no longer a “mandatory” requirement).
- The volumetric manicure looks very interesting and stylish. For different reasons he can be his: funny nails- "strawberries", glossy ladybugs, matte manicure with a "knitted" or "quilted" pattern (very "warm", winter version), voluminous floral pattern, monogram. It is important to remember the sense of proportion: 10 nails with the same volume pattern do not always look good. It is best when 1 or 2 fingers are selected in this way, and the rest have a uniform coating.
- Another trend that does not go out of fashion is an ombre coating. In shades of red looks very beautiful. Also, as in the hair, ombra implies a smooth transition from one color to another. This transition can "happen" at the end of the nail or at its base - both options look equally good. This gives the image of mystery, mystery. The undisputed favorite is a red-black or red-brown ombre.
- Design with a pattern - also a worthy option, especially since the masters of nail art do not cease to invent something new. Geometry, points, flowers - win-win options for a vacation or a fun evening.
- Stripes - vertical or horizontal, drawn with a contrasting varnish, can visually improve the shape of the nails.
- Design with stamping (when drawing is applied with a special stamp) will help to make a professional manicure at home.
- Manicure trends such as “Negative Space” and “frame” will be well combined with red color. The latter involves delineating the entire nail on the perimeter with contrasting varnish (visually this technique shortens the nails, so it’s better to do it on long plates), and the “negative space” implies “leaving” the uncovered transparent areas on the nail. Initially, the plate is painted with clear lacquer, and then stripes are put on it, triangles or other patterns in red.
Colors
The concept of "red" is not limited to the standard scarlet color. In the lines of manufacturers of cosmetics for nails, the number of shades of red is always very large.
For those who want to make a monochromatic coverage for the office, it is worth considering the type of appearance and skin color. Blondes and fair-skinned girls are best suited salmon shade. Dark-skinned most go wine shades, dark red, crimson. Owners of light beige leather will be perfect orange-red or shade of ocher. A classic deep and bright scarlet can be worn by all.
Proper combination of colors in manicure will make a harmonious design that will create a great mood and will be remembered by others.

The pattern is drawn with gel polishes, polymerized under a UV lamp, then a foil is attached to the nail, which after some time is pulled off with a jerk, leaving a beautiful mark. Volumetric "liquid stones" are drawn with a special composition, which are then hidden under the top base as if under glass.

New items
Judging by the novelties, which this year present us to the nail designers, the main trend is to combine different techniques with each other.
- Dramatic red-black combinations are in fashion. Black can be made ombre at the base of the marigold, put a geometric pattern or "spray" bulk flowers.
- Beautiful color "French" with a twist: on the ring finger the color of the nail and "smiles" are interchanged.
- What combines this version of manicure, it is clear immediately: This is a black dress or suit. That manicure, as well as a good handbag or shoes, will be able to diversify the dull black color of clothing, while not going beyond the limits of permissible.
- The combination of red and white will never go out of fashion. In this manicure there are two actual trends at once: a voluminous, as if cast, drawing and a delicate addition with rhinestones:
- An interesting combination of bright varnish, technology "Negative Space"and the volume of artistic painting. By the way, asymmetry is becoming increasingly common today: there are two nails on one hand and only one on the other.
- Very elegant and expensive "evening" combination of matte and glossy coatings. "Matte" fingers are decorated with a pattern of rhinestones, forming a semicircular line. The combination of colors - cherry and silver - looks bohemian.
If you do not know what to choose: French manicure or moon, make them at the same time. The combination of red and beige will look very restrained. Rhinestones - at will.
- A more "predatory" version of the lunar manicure - semicircles turn into sharp triangles, which visually pull the nails. For a combination with black, a dark shade of red is chosen.
- Though geometric, but gentle: such a pattern is obtained due to the combination of three different shades. In the base - matte light pink, the sides of the plate are covered with scarlet and cherry flowers. Fingers look elegant, bright, but without excessive drama.
- Design with velor powder sprinkling is not suitable for every day, but it looks stunning - no other nail decorations are needed. Here you should play on the texture: there must be something velvety in the image - ideally scarlet shoes.
