Manicure pastel on short nails

"Manicure pastel or bright?" - that's the question that almost all girls ask themselves. It is important to remember that in this season two options are acceptable. Moreover, they are considered two extremes. Part of designers on fashion shows presented models with nude fingernails, part - with bright ones. What should we do, mere mortals?

Manicure pastel: a lot of colors, the same effect

Whichever color you choose to create a pastel manicure, remember that it will always look restrained and elegant, even if muted varieties of juicy and bright colors are used.

In order to make the perfect manicure pastel, you need to use matte coatings. This requires the master a certain skill and skill. The fact is that matte textures emphasize all the irregularities and disadvantages of the nail and work with them is quite difficult. Therefore, it is better to immediately warn the master what exactly you want.

Nuances and subtleties

• The kind of any pastel varnish on the nails depends on many factors. Most pastel tones are matte and emphasize the natural structure of the nail. If the nail plate is in poor condition, then without a basic coating can not do. The master also has the right to warn the client that such a manicure on unprepared nails will look messy. In other words, the first condition for the coating to look perfect is the good condition of the nails. Despite the fact that today there are many bases for lacquer, leveling the nail, none of them can completely cover up the irregularities and other defects.
• The second nuance is the quality of the coating itself. In the case of matte lacquer, its quality is noticeable immediately. If the expiration date of the material has passed, it is the matte coating that starts to delaminate first. It will cease to lie flat on the nail, no matter what base is applied as a substrate. In addition, the varnish from the mass market segment is most often covered by strips, and the master has to layer it in order to achieve a beautiful effect. This is what the manicure depends on. Pastel colors differ from bright colors in that in most cases they give a weightless coating even after application in several layers. Therefore, on long nails sometimes there is a feeling that the nail of the nail is yellow. Masters know about this and either bleach it, or they advise making nails shorter.

Choose the manicure master correctly

Matte coatings also differ in that their application involves a number of problems.

For example, they give a less uniform coating than textures with glitter and mother of pearl. Secondly, they spread more often. This means that only a competent master can make a beautiful manicure. This is especially true when the manicure with pastel varnishes is supplemented with sequins, glitters, rhinestones and other elements. If, in the case of shiny varnishes, the coating can be quickly corrected and the flaws corrected, in the case of a matte texture it will be necessary to completely remove the coating from the nail.

Pastel manicure on short nails

Best of all, this manicure looks on short nails of a square shape. The fact that the nail hole in most cases has a yellowish tone, which looks dirty under a weightless semitransparent matte coating. Exception - opaque varnishes, densely covering the nail plate. Some girls who can not grow long nails, believe that a manicure is not for them. But this is far from the case. Pastel colors look great on short nails. Properly made nail art will visually extend the nail plate and will serve as a good addition to the image.

Pastel with accents

Despite the fact that the pastel manicure is a self-sufficient option for both going out and for everyday wearing, customers in the salons always want something original.

Fortunately, in the case of muted tones, the emphasis is very simple. Thanks to the fact that the nail plate itself does not strike the eye, any decorative element will look amazing on it. In addition to adding rhinestones and sequins, there are other options for decorating. Let's consider them just below.

Gradient pastel

Unusually and beautifully looks a gradient on the nails. It is not at all necessary for each nail to make the transition from one color to another. This option is very beautiful and effective, but it requires considerable time and effort. In addition, it is almost a jeweler's work, which is beyond the power of every master. It is much easier and faster to make a horizontal gradient. In other words, in such a manicure the shade of color changes from the little finger and to the thumb. In this version, a single color of different intensity is used.

Rhinestones, sequins and foil

Thanks to the restraint of the coating, it can be supplemented with any pastes and sequins. The main thing is not to overdo it. Minimalism in manicure is now in vogue, and in the case of pastel coverings, it becomes an indispensable condition for a good master work.
