The fashion for manicure is not changing as rapidly as in clothes, but stylists every year always invite us to try out new and new shades, designs and shapes of nails.

Saturated blue manicure (photo) today, like nail art in airy blue shades, is one of the favorites of the season.

New shades and color combinations

Riverside color(riverbank) has taken perhaps the leading place in the 2017 color palette today. This restrained and noble deep blue is less bright than in previous seasons, and has a touch of the lightest haze. This color is favorably combined on nails with both silver, classic black, scarlet or even a transparent nail plate, and blue, turquoise, emerald green, gray, yellow, mustard and other trendy shades of the season.

Another popular shade of blue Airy blue- delicate and refined, the color of the sky on a frosty day. It can be combined with blue, which is very relevant in 2017, white, light pearl, cold gray, metallic, dusty pink or rose quartz, lilac or any pastel and nude (natural) shades.

The trendy blue in nail art this year can be glossy, velvet matte, mirror or metallic. It all depends only on the chosen style and your imagination.

Advice! Before manicure, nails must be degreased. Otherwise, the varnish will not last long.

The shape and length of the marigold

Nail art is becoming functional and practical this season. Although the fashion of the 90s has not yet left the catwalks, so long nails can be used as evening looks, more neat and not too long nail plates are in fashion.

Their shape gradually becomes less coarse and approaches natural. After all, naturalness has firmly become fashionable in 2017. So say no to corners and rough square nails today.

Nails of medium length (they should only slightly protrude 3-5 mm) are almond-shaped with a slightly tapering tip or a neat oval shape this season. The form of "pointe shoes", a symbiosis of a square and an almond-shaped shape, in which a straight line is cut only at the very tip of the nail, is very relevant and gained popularity back in 2016. On short marigolds, the square is softened with small oval corners in the corners.

Advice! When applying several layers of varnish, the thickness of each of them should be minimal. Excessively thick layers will lay unevenly, and dry for a very long time.

Fashionable nail design

A big mistake this season will be the presence of excessive embellishments. Even in evening nail art, the amount of rhinestones, liquid stones, feathers or broths should be minimal. Today's decor should be as restrained and moderate as possible.

But this does not mean at all that a trendy manicure with blue nails (photo) should be boring. Today's fashion offers a huge number of all kinds of design options. Nail design is a real art today. Moreover, thanks to the abundance of modern compositions for decor and special devices for nail art, you can even make complex compositions and bring the most creative ideas to life even at home:

• geometric patterns: performed using stencils or by hand;
• ombre (gradient): color transitions, different shades of varnish can be applied to each of the fingers or mixed varnishes on each nail; blue is combined with white, pale blue, emerald, turquoise, possibly adding a third contrasting color;
• blue jacket: you can use any of its combinations, from the classic design of the nail plate to all kinds of smile line shapes (we will describe it in more detail below);
• Feng Shui manicure: one of the nails is painted over with a contrasting shade, the rest are performed in the main color;

Doesn't mean at all that trendy blue nails should be boring.

• veil (lace): the finest hand-painted, at home it is imitated with the help of pieces of fabric glued to the nails;
• transfer stickers;
• drawings on nails: from the simplest colors and patterns to the most complex compositions of extraordinary beauty;
• rhinestones, shimmers and glitters: they can form both overgrown marigolds or the edges of the plates, and the nail hole; a drawing of pebbles, made in the center in the form of a track, looks very original;
• use a combination of techniques: for example, moon jacket + ombre, lace + rhinestones, jacket + art painting, etc.

Advice! Remember the main rule of nail art: the shorter the length of the nail plate, the less jewelry should be.

Matte blue manicure

Initially, varnish was conceived as a glossy finish. However, it turned out that the rough velvet coating looks amazing on the nails, especially in evening bows. Matte can be combined with gloss of the same color or other shades. For example, current decoration methods are highlighting a pattern with a shiny gloss or a blue manicure with a design. For "velvet" art, you can purchase both special compositions, and experiment and create a matte varnish using a simple technique.

Let's describe this method in stages:

• since the gloss is able to emphasize all the shortcomings of the nail plate, the nails should be carefully polished;
• for better fixing of the coating, we apply a base varnish and dry it well;
• we collect water in a small saucepan and put it on the stove, wait for the water to boil;
• cover the nails with blue varnish of the desired shade;
• quickly, while the varnish has not yet hardened, we bring our hands to the hot steam and wait a few minutes until it is completely dry;
• since some formulations dry quickly enough, you will have to keep your hands under the steam several times;
• after the final drying of the varnish, we apply patterns on the nails with a shiny gloss;
• the original manicure is ready.

Advice! Do not leave too much distance between the nail and the cuticle. It doesn't look very aesthetically pleasing. If the varnish does get on your skin, you can easily remove it with a toothpick with a cotton swab moistened with a liquid to remove it.

Geometric blue patterns and designs on the nails

Do you want to learn how to create different types of patterns on your nails? Believe me, this is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. You can draw them using:

• fine needle:
• stencils;
• scotch tape from which you can cut your pattern templates;
• dotsa: a metal stick with balls at the ends.

You can use any composition for drawings: from ordinary varnishes to helium pens, gouache, watercolors or special markers for drawing on nails. They allow you to create complex compositions with blurry shadows. Ideas for patterns can be spied on the net or on any fabrics. Moreover, the drawings can be quite combined, creating your own design work.

You can draw not only on long nails. All kinds of patterns look great on blue manicure on short nails (photo). You can arrange such nail art using:

• geometric patterns; there are many types of such a technique, colored squares, triangles or broken lines can be combined in any variations and located both along the entire length, and only on the tips, sides or in the area of ​​the hole; transition lines can be decorated with a contrasting color;
• any abstract or floral patterns;
• flowers: chamomiles, juicy poppies, small rosebuds, cheerful sunflowers, dandelions; blue goes well with bright colors;
• peas and dots: combining their sizes allows you to create whole pictures from them;
• ornate finest lace;
• complex paintings on a theme appropriate to the occasion.

Advice! For a perfect finish, apply the base varnish with just three strokes: in the center and then on the sides.

Stylish jacket

Contrary to the name, French manicure with nail tip decoration was brought into fashion by the American Jeff Pink. When Hollywood needed a versatile nail art that could be easily combined with any outfit, this entrepreneur proposed a very feminine option with a transparent nail polish combined with contrasting white.

With his light hand, this type of design has entered into everyday fashion. Today's jacket has long been colored and has a lot of varieties. We will describe only some of the options for a blue jacket:

• classic: it is performed in two versions, with blue painting of the main nail plate and highlighting the tip of the nail in contrasting black, white, blue or any other color, in the second version the colors change to opposite ones, that is, only the grown tip of the nail is drawn in blue, and the nail itself has a different Colour;
• lunar: a contrasting color is applied to a rounded area near the base of the nail (lunula);
• Hollywood: a fairly new trend, with the use of metallized film or foil, which are imprinted on varnish;
• with a changed shape of a smile: it can be not only semicircular, but have the shape of a triangle, square or a broken line passing in any direction;
• matte: a velvet effect is achieved by using special types of varnish;
• decorative: finished with simple or complex patterns, rhinestones, broths, feathers, etc.

Advice! A jacket looks very impressive, in which the nail plate is covered with a transparent varnish, and the tips are made out in white and blue with the addition of small broths and rhinestones.

Blue acrylic, gel or shellac

If you want the coating to stay on the nails for a very long time, use the following types of coatings:

• acrylic: they mainly model the shape of the nails and build them up, but it is most difficult to remove it, you have to file it down;
• gel: glass-like composition, drying under the influence of UV rays, lasts up to 2 weeks, can be easily washed off with special solvents or ordinary acetone;

In the new season of 2018, blue manicure is a trend, photos with which are dazzling in all glossy magazines, you need to be able to combine with other colors without causing overload in the image. Each girl can choose the right shade for herself, since blue provides an extensive palette. It can be supplemented with other colors, patterns, interesting design elements. From the presented photos, you can glean a lot of fresh ideas.

Color combinations

In fact, there are not so many harmonious combinations of other shades with blue. Eliminating all overly catchy and contrasting combinations so as not to look shocking, the line of colors ideal for blue can be reduced to light pastels, strictly contrasting and natural.

With white

This classic tandem is applicable to any outfit where there is even a small blue detail. The most common use of the blue and white duo of varnishes is stripes. They are performed horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and their width can also vary. Other effects and patterns are not excluded - flowers, geometry, gradient, moon manicure, French - all this is successfully used to decorate nails. The photo shows some variations of the use of two varnishes.

With yellow

Yellow and blue not only perfectly complement each other, but also significantly enhance, making the color richer and deeper. Therefore, you should try to avoid using them in equal amounts - a blue manicure will look very stylish if some small details are made in yellow (photo). In addition, the combination of blue and yellow is very common in nature, and this can also be reflected in a manicure, applying bright flowers on a blue background.

With red

This is another winning combination in contrast. Here it is necessary to take into account the temperature of the shades of both blue and red colors. You can take them in any proportion, performing the most incredible designs on your hands - craquelure, British or American flag, geometric shapes. More ideas can be found if you look at the photo.

With green

A bit extravagant, but at the same time an interesting and bright combination - a combination of blue and green. Ink blue is taken to match the emerald, creating with it an imitation of the texture of mineral stones (photo) or the skin of a snake. The use of juicy fresh greens is ideal for an outfit of the same tonality; in this case, blue will dilute the overabundance of green. A light green and bright shade of blue will successfully complement a summer dress, creating a playful mood.

Shades of blue

Blue

Bright blue

Blue can be used in manicure and as a stand-alone color. In this case, it should clearly match the color of the outfit or be in harmony with the accessories. The photo shows that the amount of blue can be reduced if used in conjunction with a natural base of nails. Also, one nail is isolated with a bright blue manicure. This can be done using acrylic powder (photo), glitter or adding decorative elements. Capri and ultramarine look interesting if these two shades with minimal difference alternate on the hand (photo).

Navy blue

Sapphire, indigo, Prussian blue are just some of the possible variations of a dark blue manicure. It should also match the chosen outfit or be enhanced by sparkling details (photo).

Matt

Fashionable matte varnish is very appropriate in the case of a blue manicure. The only thing to remember is that it implies the complete accuracy of the shape of the nails and their grooming. It is used in a variety of options: applied alone or with an additional color, emphasized by shiny elements (photo 1), allows you to use decorative elements (photo 2). You can play with textures, combining glossy and matte surfaces, folding them into intricate patterns.

With gold

In the case of using gold, you can achieve complete solemnity in the image without restricting yourself in the amount of metallic color, but you can skillfully inject it into a blue base, highlighting one nail, as in the photo. In addition to gold jewelry, blue and gold manicure looks very attractive and unusual.

With beige

Beige balances deep blue, giving it a soft and light feel. A good example is shown in the photo. This is another classic combination that allows you to apply a huge variety of patterns, perform moon manicure or unusual varieties of a jacket.

With drawing

The choice of a pattern for nails often depends on the general look - summer flowers suit a light dress, geometry suits a formal suit, and baroque patterns suit a cocktail dress.

French

Lunar

Fashion trend - moon manicure in blue tones will revive any look. It can be done in different ways:

• make the hole blue, and cover the surface of the nail with another varnish.

With flowers

Blue varnish is the most suitable for manicure, as a base for applying flowers. They can be made in any color and in any technique. Blue flowers on a golden, white or beige base also look interesting. The photo shows both types of such a manicure.

Geometry

There are several well-known methods of applying geometric patterns: using stencils, tape, brushes, or overlay. All of them allow the combination of different colors together with blue and the use of additional decorative elements.

Gradient

A clear or smooth separation between the colors of the varnish, simultaneously applied to the nail, is called a gradient. Color combinations can be applied horizontally or vertically, based on the combinations already described.

Ombre

Being a type of gradient, ombre offers the use of shades of the same color, creating a beautiful and unusual manicure, skillfully varying colors depending on temperature and saturation.

With rhinestones

The photo shows various variations of the unusual and classic use of rhinestones in a blue manicure. They are applied one at a time to the center or on the tip of the nail, or they are strewn over the entire surface if you want to create a festive decoration design.

Summer

When creating a summer manicure, it is better to take bright, warm shades of blue. It is they who help to create stylish nail designs that match light outfits. Correctly selected patterns contribute to this - stripes folding into a marine print, butterflies and flowers. An interesting way of introducing a different color and pattern is shown in the photo.

Wedding

If harmony is achieved, then you can decorate the manicure with a pattern, and gilding, and rhinestones.

Cat's eye

In the environment of manicure novelties, the cat's eye has gained great popularity. It is done with a special varnish containing metal particles. After application, the non-dried product is exposed to a magnet. As a result, the manicure acquires a metallic sheen and looks like a semi-precious stone of the same name. A blue cat eye manicure is perfect for a party or a festive appearance.

Manicure on short nails

Most of the photos presented show a variety of designs on short nails. This means that length in general does not play a special role if you want to surprise in an unusual way. Short nails, like long ones, allow you to combine different colors, apply drawings, and create a festive decoration.

Manicure gel polish

The gel provides nails with a more durable finish than conventional products. It is a more liquid substance, the fluidity of which can complicate the application of a pattern or pattern. But after several attempts, the use of gel polish, as a rule, does not cause difficulties. The main thing in this case is not to forget to arm yourself with the necessary devices in the form of an ultraviolet lamp and various additional coatings.

How to choose a shade and make a beautiful blue manicure?

A beautiful blue manicure is, first of all, the right shade. Do not be tempted to make a purchase if you like the color of the varnish in the online store. You need to know exactly how to choose a shade and make a stylish design of the nail plate.

It is not known how the tone will look on your nails, so always use the demo palette - a set of tips on which all the shades of the available polishes are applied. Such palettes are in every self-respecting store. Apply the color you like to your hand - it is possible that the skin will acquire a grayish tint, which means that you need a varnish of a different tone. Most often, girls with warm skin tones, such as olive or peach tints, have problems. Cold saturated blue is contraindicated for you, choose muted tones, as if diluted with gray or white.

Please note that blue manicure is not recommended for older women, as well as for those whose skin is prone to irritation and redness. If you often have veins on your arms, you should refuse blue varnish. Short nails in combination with a short nail bed may look disadvantageous under a bright coating, but still blue manicure on short nails is quite acceptable - you need to use special nail art techniques that allow you to visually lengthen the fingers and make the hand more graceful and proportional.

What is the combination of blue manicure - we think over the image

Even the most beautiful, neat and effective manicure will look out of place and tasteless if it does not match your clothes. If you have a blue manicure, the photo shows that it is easiest to combine it with blue things. However, there is a strict rule - the varnish should be darker than the clothes. If the nails are lighter than the things you are wearing, the manicure will seem too simple and mundane, and if you choose a varnish exactly to match the clothes, the whole image will merge into a single spot. If you use several colors in your nail design, for example, you have a blue and white manicure, make sure that the image contains white details or accessories.

In summer, you can safely play in contrast, choosing a varnish of the color of the sky or the sea for clothes in yellow and orange shades. A bright creamy varnish will suit a red outfit; this image can be advised not only for young girls, but also for older women of fashion who love bright combinations. Undoubtedly, such a varnish is appropriate in a set with white clothes, but it is desirable that a third color is present in the image, for example, golden or red, otherwise the whole outfit will seem rustic. Don't worry about a blue manicure if you are going to wear a green dress or pink sweater - this tandem is quite harmonious. It is not recommended to paint your nails in indigo shades if you are wearing a gray, black or brown suit.

Blue manicure ideas - moon, French, French on short nails

Blue manicure ideas are diverse and amaze with the magnificence of the combinations. We already talked about the blue jacket above, its opposite also looks great - a blue moon manicure, which will be appropriate both in a festive atmosphere and in everyday life. Cover your nails with a colorless varnish, or better with a beige opaque varnish, and then highlight the well of each nail in blue. You can do the opposite, apply a blue varnish, for example, matte, to your nails, and then highlight the hole in white, gold, silver, red or black. The well can be "drawn" both along its natural contour, and in the opposite direction, to create an arc along the cuticle.

The next option is an ombre manicure, when the dark blue tint at the edge of the nail smoothly turns into pale blue at the base or vice versa. This option is performed using a sponge. Two or three shades of varnish are applied to a piece of foil close to each other, then a sponge is carefully dipped into the varnish and an imprint is made on the nail plate. To make such a nail design look brighter and richer, use white varnish as a base.

White works best with blue and is great for creating designs and patterns. You can do white nails with blue flowers or blue nails with white snowflakes - excellent winter nail art. If your drawing skills leave a lot to be desired, use stamping - with this simple device you can print ornaments of any complexity on your nails. Intense shades work well for a blue and white craquelure manicure. To do this, you need a special coating that cracks after application, creating a picturesque effect of peeling paint. Both the craquelure itself and the base can be blue, and, for example, a white or golden hue will crack on top.

The trendy frame design today can also be used - enclose the indigo marigolds in a yellow or red frame. French manicure on short nails is a variant of this design. There are a lot of ideas for blue manicure. You can cover your nails on top with sparkles or decorate with rhinestones, make an ornament using a special metallized tape, or use dots to make your nails with polka dots. If you are fond of oriental culture, you can paint the plates in Feng Shui, highlighting one or two fingers in a different color or placing the ornament on only one marigold of your right hand.

Thinking over the future nail design, rely on either a solid and unusual shade, or an original and effective design. Do not make a blue manicure too saturated - if you use a polish with a shimmer, refrain from additional decoration of nails with rhinestones. By choosing the right shade and design, you can be sure that your blue manicure will be appropriate and will not go unnoticed.

Blue has become a great alternative to the boring classics. The biggest advantage of this color is its versatility, namely the presence of many interesting shades. This color is versatile.
