Marine pedicure

During the holidays, which most prefer to take it 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 a pedicure. In summer, shoes are worn, as a rule, open, some of the time women spend on the beach, respectively, there is a chance to boast an original and stylish nail design.

It is not a secret that a woman perceives herself today not only as a person with unique features, but also as an object of art, including designer. 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 your summer at sea, it’s quite natural to get the idea of ​​using marine attributes when creating a pedicure. Pictures of pebbles trimmed by the sea, figures of inhabitants of the deep sea, yachts and anchors, waves and stars - all these are interesting options for nail design.

The basic color scheme of a pedicure should also be naturally associated with the sea. The combination of white and blue, interspersed with blue and greenish - the most appropriate color combinations for pedicure in the marine style.

You should consider the situation in which you intend to demonstrate your nail design. In a formal setting, at a business dinner such an opportunity is unlikely to be presented to you, since classical closed shoes would be preferable. But on a date or a casual friendly party you can wear defiantly open sandals and stun those around you with a sophisticated pedicure.

Colors and design ideas change every year, but the sea theme of the summer pedicure itself is always relevant. It has merged characteristics such as freedom and ease, freshness and eternal youth. Sea style gives the whole look lightness and looseness, 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 marine pedicure theme uses not only the colors associated with the sea (white and blue, aqua), but also the decorations that enliven the design that the nautical theme requires.

Classic marine pedicure - vest, and combinations of colors can 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 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 sea creatures (corals, sea stars, sea horses, dolphins, whales, jellyfish and even sharks);
• seashells;
• anchors;
• steering wheels;
• ships and yachts;
• lifebuoys;
• pearls;
• palm trees;
• stars, sun and moon;
• sand and pebbles;
• waves;
• algae;
• islands and others

In the pictures put on your nails, you can tell almost the whole story of relaxing by the sea: impressions of water spaces, a tropical night, a hot beach, exotic plants, yachts, and acquaintance with marine life.

The most beautiful and detailed picture you can do only on the thumb nail, the remaining nails will help to develop the chosen theme. The alternation of different shades and graphics on the fingers of one foot looks nice.

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

Modern marine pedicure is, in fact, a work of art, but you can develop the idea and execute drawings of varying degrees of complexity. Start with simple images and don’t immediately do a sturdy pedicure: after it, the nails need to relax, and the summer passes too quickly. For experiments, the usual varnish, a set of rhinestones and stickers, several shades of varnish within the framework of the marine theme will do.

If you prefer graceful conciseness, try to apply today’s reception of the image of the waving sea elements: using gradient technology, apply light strokes with the transition from gentle turquoise to deep blue of the sea bottom. Such design requires patience, but the result of high-quality artwork is staggering.

Use in the composition of the image of pebbles, shells, corals, starfish and pearls. 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. Do not use everything at once - alternate small pictures on your fingers, and the overall impression will be stunning.

The pedicure looks great, in which the blue background with the pasted golden moon alternates, casting glare on the water surface (which is depicted by light strokes), and the golden-white background with pasted sparkles symbolizing the hot beach. 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 persistent gel polish.

Pedicure begins with bringing the legs in order:

• getting rid of corns;
• soften skin with hot baths with essential oils;
• sanding hardened skin using pumice;
• nutrition and hydration of the feet with a special foot cream.

The nails themselves are also treated:

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

Next you need to choose the most appropriate color varnish. The most current shades of the beach season are:

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

You can even use unexpected bright pink and red colors, combining them with white. If you plan to apply the picture, note that it will be advantageous to look only on your thumbs.

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

Using bright red strokes or red decorations can be a bright 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 inconvenient to wear closed shoes - the vagaries of the weather this year are unpredictable.

An even pattern can be created using special adhesive strips. Paint the nail in a smooth white color or apply a clear colorless varnish. Wait until it is completely dry and stick the required number of strips. Apply another coat of turquoise, bluish or blue lacquer, wait again until it dries. Peel off the strips and enjoy the result.

Try also the unexpected solution of the French maritime pedicure. Take white as the main color and ultramarine for the tips, or dark blue for the base and red for the French line. To diversify the pedicure try using rhinestones of various shapes (even in the form of shells), with golden glitters imitating the sea sand.

Creating a perfect image is impossible without foot care. Excellent pedicure, fashionable lightweight shoes, the opportunity to appear in a new society and in a new look allow you to throw off the severity of the past winter, relax physically and mentally. Self-care has never been more pleasant and full of design ideas than in the summer by the sea.
