Types of multicolored manicure

That's why the manicure looks smooth and elegant.
Stained-glass manicure can be done in the reverse order: first draw a toothpick "mesh", and then multi-colored lacquer paint the cells.
Masters offer another simple version of the stained-glass manicure, which can be used at home. To do this, thin, intersecting strips are glued on the nail. Formed "windows" gently paint over the selected color.

Combination of shades in multi-colored manicure
The huge selection of varnished varnishes in the cosmetic bag does not guarantee that when you use them your nails will look spectacular and perfect. As in any creative process, harmony is necessary here. In order not to reduce all diligence to nothing, we advise you to pay attention to the main principles of the combination of colors, which are divided into four main groups:
- Monochromatic combination represents a palette of shades of one color from light to dark and vice versa.
- The complimentary combination is based on the contrast effect. If we take the spectral circle, then the contrasting colors will be opposite to each other: red - green, violet - yellow, blue - orange.
When using contrasting varnishes, the manicure will turn out to be very bright and saturated. The main thing is not to overdo it, so that the nails do not look vulgar and provocative. As an option - you can use calm contrasting hues.
- The triadic combination consists of three shades, located at the same distance from each other in the spectral circle.
Despite the fact that the three colors contrast, they are in harmony with each other.
- The basis of the achromatic combination is black, white and gray. They perfectly harmonize not only with each other, but also with other shades.
What you should remember when doing a multicolored manicure
- Do not hurry to apply the selected varnishes immediately to the nail, not always the pattern that we imagined will actually look like this. Practice on the plate.
- If you make a bright multi-colored manicure, make your make-up in light neutral tones. Otherwise, the general image can turn out to be defiant and even vulgar.
- Multicolored manicure attracts attention, which means that the nails and hands should be well groomed. Burrs, ripped lacquer, or sloppy coating are excluded.
- Contrast colors are more suitable for a festive evening. For business meetings, monochrome shades will ideally look.
