Mammalogy

With the onset of autumn, hot days, bathed in the rays of the sun, are replaced first by a slight coolness, and then by fogs and cold rain.

Nature begins to gradually prepare for winter sleep. But changes take place not only in nature - fashion also adapts to weather metamorphoses, and designers in all areas of the fashion industry, including manicure, begin to vying to offer fresh ideas and new trends.

What will surprise and please us with the autumn manicure 2018?

Fashion tricks for autumn manicure

The trend of 2018 - naturalness and naturalness - can also be seen in. Simple but original solutions are in fashion, without frills and pretentiousness.

The autumn mood will be traced in the actual colors - warm muted colors will cheer you up on a damp cold day. A manicure in burgundy, coffee, chocolate tones will be good. The color of wet asphalt and lighter shades of gray promises to be popular. A universal solution will be a nude manicure - it will perfectly fit into any environment. In addition, designers promise an increased interest in milky, ivory and warm tones close to them.

Bright colors such as yellow, orange, red will help to make an accent, competing with multi-colored foliage. It will also be possible to use olive, green, purple, black as additional colors.

It’s not for nothing that autumn received the epithet “golden”, and the autumn manicure 2018 decided to remind us of this. , foil, sparkles - all this will be a real hit, and by the way, this trend does not contradict the principle of naturalness at all, because gold is the most natural metal.

Autumn is a time of change and diversity. Similarly, autumn manicure 2018 - it will combine various materials and textures that favorably emphasize and emphasize each other's merits. It can be a combination of gloss and matte finishes, monochrome discreet varnishes and glitters, smooth and velvety surfaces, etc.

Drawings, decorative elements will help to diversify manicure, and here any achievements of the modern nail industry can be used.

Actual length and shape of nails

In the fall of 2018, short nails are still relevant, holding a leading position for more than a season. This is quite understandable, because the main advantage of such a manicure is versatility and comfort.

However, there is good news for those who still prefer longer nails that make the fingers visually longer and thinner. Such nails, the free edge of which is 5-7 mm, are also in trend.

What designers are unanimous about is in relation to the shape of the nail plates - they should be as feminine as possible, with rounded smooth lines. The best solution is an oval or almond-shaped silhouette. Even if you naturally got square nails, try to smooth out sharp corners with a nail file.

Minimalism for autumn manicure

Minimalism is a current trend in fashion in 2018 as a whole, which has found its embodiment in manicure.

In the fall of 2018, in order to look stylish, even a monochrome manicure will be enough, but so that a monochromatic coating does not look boring, you can combine matte and glossy surfaces or use acrylic powder on accent fingers to match the main color. Simple geometric ornaments will also look good - straight and broken lines, zigzags, combinations of geometric shapes - everything that does not overload the manicure, but makes it more interesting.

Any other drawings will also fit well into the concept of minimalism if they are made with thin lines of one - a maximum of two colors.

The main thing to remember is that only accent nails should be decorated, otherwise you will not be able to achieve the desired effect.

We combine different textures in one manicure

The game of textures is a fashionable feature that will become especially relevant this fall. It is quite easy to perform such a manicure, and the result will look very elegant and will not leave you without the attention of others.

The easiest way to experiment with textures is to cover all the nails with a matte varnish, but on the accent nails, apply a gloss of the same color, or another one that blends well with it. It will be great to use instead of the usual glossy varnish rub with a shimmer effect or holographic modulations.

A great idea is to combine a matte surface and a metallic sheen. For this purpose, a special rub is also suitable, which creates an imitation of metal polished to a mirror finish, and foil.

You can use different textures within the same nail, for example, rub a vertical strip in the center of the plate, or apply a glossy pattern to a matte base. It can be simple lines, curls, dots, and transparent droplets will even claim to be an autumn hit.

Drawings for autumn manicure

If you want to make your manicure unique - decorate it with drawings. Thematic images will be in demand in the fall. It can be leaves, bunches of mountain ash, acorns. Two options are possible here - either the most naturalistic images decorating accent fingers, or stylized delicate pictures made with thin contour lines.

In addition to thematic drawings, the theme will also have time-tested geometry and abstraction.

Geometric patterns will be good both in a minimalistic design, as we talked about above, and in the form of complex multi-color compositions, but on the condition that they show off only on accent nails.

The same can be said about abstraction - stains, reminiscent of streams of rain flowing down glass, curls, shapeless spots - all this will perfectly fit into the autumn manicure 2018.

Decor for autumn manicure

In addition to drawings, a variety of decor is at your service, fortunately, the democratic nature of modern fashion practically does not limit your choice.

Rhinestones - a classic manicure decor that is appropriate for any season. Literally a few crystal drops transform the appearance of a manicure, make it more luxurious. In the fall of 2018, rhinestones can be used to emphasize the line of the root hole, the free edge, or simply lay out a simple ornament on an accent finger.

, - a real highlight of 2018. They will bring a bright, perky note to the image, which will help defeat the autumn blues. Confetti can be scattered randomly over all or accent nails, you can lay out an interesting pattern. Depending on whether you put them on a transparent or colored base, the manicure will look completely different, but always great.

It will be interesting to look at the option in which confetti fills only part of the surface, creating variations on the theme of a jacket, ombre or moon manicure.

Foil, glitter, yucca flakes - all these new items in the fall will be very, very relevant. Fashion is controversial - despite the fact that one of the leading trends of 2018 is minimalism, glamorous glitter and radiance also do not stand aside.

Both as a main cover and as a decorative accent. In the first case, you can create a “metallic” manicure in gold, silver or any other shade, and in the second, shade the coating of the nails by decorating only a couple of fingers with foil.

Holographic foil, laid in pieces, will create the effect of broken glass, which can hardly be called a novelty, but its beauty does not decrease from this.

glitter can be present in any version of manicure. It can cover one or two nails, and can be used for drawing. Even restrained geometry will not refuse such decoration.

"Yucca Flakes" - a great option for autumn. They provide an excellent opportunity to create delightful abstract drawings of any color, and with overflows. The most expressive option is the one in which the flakes are applied to a dark-colored substrate. And if you cover the manicure with a matting top, you get a very original design, reminiscent of expensive velvet.

Autumn manicure for short nails

Short nails are not a reason to refuse a beautiful manicure. Warm juicy autumn colors of dark shades are ideal for this purpose.

The best option for short nails is a monochrome design with highlighted accent fingers. A duet of matte and glossy surfaces is welcome.

A manicure in pastel colors, complemented by a pearl or mirror rub, will also be good - it will make the fingers visually more elegant.

What you should definitely refuse is a large amount of decor and complex compositions. A manicure with a delicate pattern or a small amount of glitter, yuca flakes and other interesting novelties will look much more effective.

Please note that it is better to place drawings and ornaments on short nails vertically - this will visually stretch the nail plate.

We use the “marble manicure” technique for autumn design

"Marble manicure" has already managed to fall in love with many fashionistas. On the one hand, it is surprisingly simple and restrained, on the other hand, it is beautiful and original. It is used both on all fingers and on several, provided that it is combined with an onion coating.

Usually done in black, white and grey. Abstract stains on the surface of the nail create an imitation of marble.

However, you absolutely do not need to limit yourself to the classic version - using varnishes of different colors you can get "turquoise", "malachite" and other "stones". The most relevant options in the fall of 2018 will be a “marble manicure” in warm colors. For example, a combination of white or cream tones with burgundy or chocolate.

The highlight of your marble manicure can be a small amount of glitter - the sparkles will resemble natural streaks of gold or shiny mica in the stone.

Classic tricks for autumn manicure

Despite the abundance of novelties of manicure, the classic jacket and moon manicure are not going to retire. These elegant options will still be good for both casual and formal looks.

If you unconditionally prefer the classics, then feel free to perform any of these types of manicure in the traditional white and nude range. But if you are not alien to the desire to experiment, then make a colored jacket, for example, with a burgundy or terracotta smile line.

Classic options will be good if you complement them with autumn drawings. A bright maple leaf on your ring finger will certainly draw attention to your beautiful hands.

Both lunar and ordinary jacket will be perfectly combined with any version of fashionable decor.

A fashionable feature - negative space - will find its embodiment in the lunar design. Leave the hole unpainted or cover it with a transparent top - it will turn out stylish and relevant.

Do not deny yourself the pleasure of playing with the shape of the hole and smile, or you can even combine both manicure options in one.

As you can see, autumn manicure 2018 will find something to please all those who are not indifferent to beauty, and will give you the opportunity to treat yourself to fresh and interesting ideas.

Most of us wish summer was over, but autumn has its perks too. You can make bouquets of bright leaves, walk beautiful coats and, of course, experiment with makeup and manicure. You will find options for a boring autumn make-up, we analyzed the main nail trends of the year in this article, but now we will talk about the current autumn manicure outside of fashion trends.

Autumn manicure rules

There is no strict definition of how exactly an autumn manicure should look like. Therefore, there are no clear rules on how to act in the period from September to November. Only one thing can be said for sure: with the advent of the first cold weather, deeper and darker tones begin to attract us. Below are the six main flowers that are traditionally referred to as autumn.

In autumn and winter, dark varieties of red are more popular: wine, purple, ruby, burgundy, garnet, brown, a shade of mahogany. Use any of them solo, combine with varnishes of other conditionally autumn colors (they rhyme especially effectively with gold or copper). And at least once experiment with the finish: any of these shades in a matte finish will look fresh and elegant.

Fall manicure ideas for short nails

Short nails are practical from an everyday point of view. However, they do not give much space for nail art. Remember a few rules if you decide to create a spectacular autumn manicure on short nails.

  • If you have very short nails or a small nail plate, the main thing is that the drawings should be without small details. In your case, clear patterns, thin lines and simple silhouettes are important.

  • The second solution is drawing on one or just a few nails. In this case, the image should fill the entire nail plate. The photo below is an example of how you can draw a fox or an autumn leaf.

  • Another option is to work literally with broad strokes. Make your drawing fairly conventional. Look at the photo below: it is clear that the autumn leaves on the branches are depicted on the nails, while they are not drawn too carefully, so even with a small length of the nails, the effect of a “dirty” coating is not created.

Autumn manicure for long nails

With such initial data, you can come up with hundreds of options for autumn manicure. But we propose to start with five.

Such a manicure looks universal, but if you look closely, it can be quite deservedly attributed to the autumn. The checkered ornament on the index finger is similar to the classic pattern of a woolen plaid, a mushroom is hidden on the middle finger, and a whole carpet of leaves is on the ring finger.

This is how you can depict a fly agaric or any other mushroom in an original way, if you have long nails of a pointed or oval shape. Perhaps, only with square-shaped nails, such an image will look strange.

Whatever season comes, you always want to decorate your nails in a stylish and relevant way. Autumn is not just a time for golden leaves and romantic walks in the park, it is an occasion to get a trendy manicure. Autumn mood only evokes certain trends in nail design, and you can cover your nails with any kind of varnish. The main thing is to choose a good color and design style.

Autumn manicure color palette

No matter how stereotyped it may look, the colors characteristic of this time of year have remained “autumn”. Yellowed leaves, ripe rowan and rich blue autumn sky - these are the true inspirations of the masters of the nail industry. All natural shades will perfectly "get along" in the autumn manicure, and their correct combinations will look stylish and unobtrusive.

Orange and yellow shades


The orange palette is varied. Color can vary from cool tones to sunny warm tones. Moreover, combinations with a different color are acceptable in any case. The same can be said for yellow. This is truly a universal color that will give the manicure enthusiasm and freshness.

Orange and yellow shades in a manicure go well with decorations in golden tones: glitter, sparkles, rhinestones, foil, etc. If the color is cold, then decorative elements in silver tones can be used.

Shades of blue and cyan

All shades of blue and light blue can be used in a contrast manicure, and they can become both a base and an additional color. Advantageously, such “heavenly” colors look in matte interpretations of the coating, they are great for lunar design and jacket.


Easily combined with the main autumn colors - orange and yellow. With a reasonable combination, they look beautiful with brown and.

Red, purple and burgundy polishes

Juicy or muted shades of red are not just associated with ripe autumn fruits, but also with bold, vibrant women. Manicure using this color is the trend of the season. Burgundy is also not far behind in popularity, especially if you use a matte varnish of this color. Purple looks especially impressive in dark colors. Cold or warm gamut of shades looks equally advantageous on the nails, if you decorate them in an autumn theme.

You can decorate your nails with a monophonic coating, as well as use red, purple in a geometric pattern, an original pattern or a moon manicure. The combination of matte finishes with gloss will create an additional effect. You can combine all these colors both with each other and create tandems with others - orange, yellow, blue, etc.

Black polish and dark shades

Despite the specificity and non-ordinary nature of black, it is increasingly being used in various nail designs. This applies to autumn manicure too. Black color can be an excellent basis for decor, painting, etc. Other dark shades are also suitable as a base, but for a more discreet design, they are best used as an addition to the design.

Gray nail art

Neutral or universal everyday manicure is gray. This color fits perfectly into any theme, including autumn. You can dilute the “dullness” with any shades that are classified as “autumn”: red, yellow, etc. Any decorative elements will also look good when choosing this color in a manicure.


Silver and gold polishes

Shines of gold or silver complement the autumn manicure well, bringing gloss to the design. As the main background, silver and golden varnishes are usually not used, with the exception of highlighting a few marigolds. Excessive presence of such varnish on the nail can make the manicure too “sugary”, with a hint of bad taste.



Brown and warm colors

A certain calmness and warmth will bring brown color in manicure. In this case, the shade does not matter - darker ones are good in a matte finish, light ones are successfully combined in any color.



Choosing colors in warm shades, you can count on a good combination. For example, a cold shade of burgundy will look strange in combination with warm yellow.

Green colors

Juicy or muted shades of green will effectively fit into the autumn manicure. This color can be chosen as a background or used as a secondary one. The trend is dark green with hints of brown, orange. For autumn design, this option is best used with similar tint palettes: orange, brown, yellow.


Combination of light and dark shades

Combining dark and light shades in the autumn nail design is not only possible, but also necessary. The most popular type of such a connection is a gradient manicure. Using this effect as a basis for design, you can achieve an unusual and stylish result.


Dark and light shades

A tandem of light and dark shades give the manicure a “breath”, and you can combine any colors. For autumn design, it is important to use the contrasts of the background and, for example, the pattern.

Thematic autumn drawings

Watching nature in the autumn season, you can be inspired and recreate what you see on your nails. Autumn landscapes, trees, artsy leaves can fit on nails of any length. Although it is still generally accepted that on long nails there are more chances to create a variety of effects. Among the popular autumn designs, we can distinguish the following areas:

  • vegetation (stems, leaves, flowers);
  • autumn fruits (fruits, vegetables);
  • panoramas (landscapes);
  • natural phenomena and accessories (umbrella, rain, rubber boots, etc.);
  • other items (lanterns, benches).

Various techniques are used to apply such images. Often it is necessary to use additional materials. Commonly used methods include:

  • painting (gel polish, ordinary varnish, acrylic pigment, airbrushing);
  • stickers (autumn images are selected, after fixing them on the nail, they are fixed with transparent varnish);
  • decorative elements (finished acrylic figurines).

When creating a design, you can use various techniques and techniques, but a nail art master and his sense of style play a key role in the design of nails.

Raindrops

Such an effect can be done in different ways - from painting to a 3d effect using the top used. To make such droplets, you need to take a few steps:

  • do a manicure with gel polish. For greater effect, it is better to choose gray or blue colors for the background, imitating the autumn sky;
  • cover with top and dry;
  • using the same top, put drops on the nail and dry it in the lamp.

Drawing drops is also not difficult. But it is better not to depict them on each nail, so as not to overdo it. In addition to them, you can depict an umbrella on one of the nails.

Maple leaves and leaf fall

The most predictable images that can be found on nails in the autumn are maple leaves. Carved, with shades of yellow and orange - they are full of brightness. Leaves can be drawn, applied to the nail with a sticker, made from foil or mica, attached to an acrylic figurine. Effectively combine several techniques together. For example, foil and painting.

autumn scenery

To decorate your nails with autumn landscapes, you will need a thorough painting. But such a process will take a lot of time. Alternatively, use nail stickers. They can be attached to natural nails, extended or covered with gel polish. To fix, you can use a transparent varnish, but if the base is gel or gel polish, then the stickers are covered with a top.


Autumn fruits and vegetables

Images of the gifts of autumn look spectacular in any performance. The novelty of nail art is airbrush painting. Fruits look fuller and vegetables look more natural when airbrushed. The most popular vegetables and fruits that can be found on the nails of modern fashionistas:

  • apples, pears, plums, grapes, watermelons;
  • pumpkin, pepper, carrot.

Autumn fruits and vegetables can be depicted against different backgrounds, but it is better to choose contrasting colors so that the image stands out.

Autumn manicure techniques

Most women have short nails, which are in trend right now. Therefore, almost all manicure techniques are great for short nails. Long nails (or medium length) do not need a special selection of design. A stylish autumn design for different lengths of nails can be created based on basic techniques.

Autumn jacket and moon design

A never-ending fashion trend is a jacket, which can be an excellent base for creating an autumn manicure. Alternatively, a classic jacket with a nude color and a white tip of the nail can be used. Against this background, you can create a unique autumn design.



But the replacement of classic colors with the desired ones has become more popular. The tip of the nail can be painted in some "autumn" color (orange, yellow) and on this basis make a design. The same should be done with the lunar design.

Gradient or ombre technique

A beautiful gradient can be obtained in a professional way by applying pigment with an airbrush. The same can be said about the ombre. Color transitions can be close in palette (for example, orange and yellow), as well as opposite (for example, orange and white). You can combine a monochromatic coating of several nails with a gradient or ombre on selective (nameless and middle).


Matte finish

A very popular solution in manicure is the matte finish. Any shade will look especially elegant, while dullness will decorate the nails of any length.

To get a matte manicure, special varnishes are chosen, and if gel polish is used, then a special top gives it dullness.

Getting an unusual manicure, in which real velvet appears on the nails, is quite simple if velvet sand is used. It is an acrylic pollen, which, when glued to the nail, is similar to velvet. It is relevant to decorate nails with velvet for autumn manicure, combinations with other techniques and decorations are possible.

It is easy to use: after the top coat on gel polish, the top is not dried, but sprinkled with such sand on top. After sufficient application of sand to the nail, you can begin to dry the layer.

Nail art with geometry

Lines of different thicknesses, geometric shapes are a real breakthrough in the nail art industry. Masters manage to apply geometry in various designs, autumn is no exception. For example, a beautiful maple leaf looks great when drawn in the style of geometry.



Autumn drawings and patterns

Romantic, imitating vine, ethnic patterns, chrysanthemums, etc. can not only decorate the autumn manicure, but also become its main idea. But you should not combine patterns and drawings with bright gradients and ombre techniques, with a lot of shiny jewelry. Any image on the nail can be applied with paint, gel polish or simply attach a sticker.

In the autumn design of nails, jewelry is almost indispensable. Glitter of different sizes, rhinestones, foil, broths - all these decorative elements have a place to be on the nails. But do not focus on jewelry. Now the trend is calm, not flashy autumn manicure, which is decorated without frills.

Autumn is a time of inspiration, peace and tranquility. It's time when you can concentrate on something really important, forget about everyday tinsel and plunge into the sweet captivity of melancholy. It's time when home comfort becomes a prerogative, and external metamorphoses - a direct reflection of internal changes. The flying beach pareos are being replaced by laconic, discreet trench coats, and bright, neon colors on the nails are being replaced by muted and deep shades like Marsala. Autumn manicure is a separate art form that deserves your close attention. ProstoNail, a personal guide to the beauty space, has collected the most luxurious selection of seasonal designs that amaze the imagination.

Manicure for autumn - in the power of melancholy

They say that autumn is the best time to reboot. It is difficult to argue with this statement. It is in autumn that you can take a deep breath of cool, slightly humid air, sit on the balcony, drink a cup of fragrant, freshly brewed coffee and make a plan for the coming season. After a summer riot of colors, noisy parties by the river, as well as constant meetings with friends, taking time for yourself is an unaffordable luxury that every beauty deserves. No need to fall into seasonal melancholy and indulge in sad thoughts, feel the moment with every cell of your soul and dream up new, lofty aspirations that are guaranteed to turn into goals.

A beautiful autumn manicure is an integral part of your little story. Now it is a full-fledged element of the image, no less significant than fitting clothes, expensive pumps or a branded bag. By the way, always being in trend is quite simple and it does not at all imply a thoughtless purchase of new wardrobe items. You can simply update the decor of your nails and proudly demonstrate to the world your impeccable taste and knowledge of the latest canons dictated by Vogue and Pantone. ProstoNail decided to make it easier for their loyal readers and collect for them "chips" from the catwalks worthy of implementation in real life:

  • form. First of all, having come to the beauty salon, the master will ask you about the desired shape of the nails. Of course, you can leave the familiar and boring square or neat oval, which practically does not chip off. Or you can break the tradition and dare to experiment. Today, fashion divas are in favor with the average length, as well as the “coffin” shape with characteristic corners along the free edge;
  • . Perhaps the most unexpected trend that was resurrected from the 2000s by House of Holland and Gucci. Use shimmering pebbles of different shapes and sizes, do not keep proportions and combine different textures. So, in the final you will achieve an interesting effect, unlike any of the previously tested. Such an inlay with “jewels” will not look vulgar or inappropriate, but it will definitely distinguish its “mistress” from the crowd, attracting compliments to her;
  • . You heard right, it was kamifubuki. True, not the confetti-like glitters that are familiar to us, but transparent, as if, plates. Firstly, they do not add extra volume to the design, and secondly, they look unusual on short nails;
  • pearl dust. At the Manish Arora show, dark-skinned models flaunted the runway in phantasmagoric, tight dresses, pearl manicures adorning their hands. The standard one has somewhat lost its relevance, but the snow-white pearl pollen with a holographic finish is again on the crest of the wave;
  • coldness of the metal. A simple and affordable nail decor option is one that randomly covers individual sections of the plate. Such eye-catching accents instantly make even the usual monochromatic varnish of a noble shade more daring, and your look more trendy. Similar ideas can be seen on the show Laura Biagiotti, Naeem Khan, Philipp Plain, Alexis Mabille;
  • rivets. A fashionable decorative element is massive or, conversely, completely miniature rivets of regular or irregular shape. Something similar can be seen at the shows of Marc Jacobs, Noon by Noor, Thom Browne, Tibi, Zadig & Voltare and even conservative Chanel. Depending on the rivet itself, a manicure can look both very defiant and quite calm;
  • . And to be more precise, a lot of glitter. That's just not monophonic, but of different textures, different sizes and even multi-colored. It looks especially beautiful with the transition of shades lined with shiny particles;
  • . No, this is not about the marine theme. And about foil strips, which can be purchased at any nail store. The main thing is to be careful and qualitatively prepare the nails for such a decor. After polishing them, and then applying shellac with self-leveling properties;
  • decorative scales. Most often it is in the form of a polyhedron or a circle with a holographic effect. And you will need this manicure not to create the image of a mermaid, but for a trend, the authorship of which belongs to the outrageous legislators Moschino. Just cover the nails with plain varnish, and decorate the free edge with a couple of shimmering circles, adding festivity and playfulness to a strict business suit;
  • . Another non-trivial solution for romantic young ladies. You can add a drop of extravagance to a similar pattern by arranging laconic self-sufficient dots with a geometric print according to the type or a triangle. The game of contrasts will definitely attract attention and compliments to your indefatigable imagination. Moreover, even a beginner in the field of nail art can do such things;
  • logomania. Perhaps one of the most extravagant and controversial trends of the season, but ProstoNail experts know how to beat it with a 100% guarantee of success. Most importantly, stick to the "corporate color scheme" of a particular brand, and also completely copy its font. It is not necessary to layer one inscription on the second, just a few slogans placed perpendicular to the growth of the nail are enough;
  • jacket with a metallic smile line. The famous French manicure does not give up its positions, holding the palm among fashion favorites. It is only subject to some upgrades that do not affect the showiness of your marigolds. So, now it is held in high esteem with a nude backing and a smile line traced with metallic varnish;
  • hand drawings. We are already accustomed to different formats of nail art. It can be leaves, beautiful natural phenomena, or even reproductions of paintings embodied in manicure. Modern designers have gone a little further and offered the girls to draw, but not on the nails, but on the hands and thin fingers. For this purpose, you can use ordinary ink, waterproof markers or eyeliner. Just remember that the pattern should be miniature and appropriately combined with the color of the nails and their shape;
  • with curly holes. He won the last place in our selection, but is not inferior to the above options in terms of value. no longer requires such filigree and subtlety of lines. On the contrary, light artistic negligence and deliberate distortion of proportions are welcome. Just remember the sense of proportion.

We are sure that in this collection every girl will find something “her own”, harmoniously combined with her style and attitude. And our colorful pictures will only simplify this task, inspiring you for beauty experiments on gray autumn days.

Autumn manicure for short nails - beauty is in simplicity

There is no reason to neglect the design and stop at a monophonic coating. The main thing is to keep proportions in mind and be guided by simple but fashionable ideas collected by ProstoNail experts. Voila, stylish decor is ready:

  • when there is not enough space for the main cover, it is important to correctly use every free millimeter. An excellent solution would be decoration, but not on the nail itself, but. They can be wire or nail art henna. A similar design looks bold, and its owner is simply luxurious;
  • The color blocking technique is still on the crest of popularity. In order to bring it to life, you only need a few contrasting shades (you can peep the combinations in the table above), and also use the principle of sectionalism, decorating each sector with its own color. For a visualization, check out a recent Prabal Gurung show;
  • ombre. It is generally accepted that the gradient is not the best decoration for short nails. It visually “eats up” free space and reduces the plates even more. But this rule doesn't work for the "gradient 2.0" design created to showcase Christian Siriano. Stylists suggest making a transition starting from the center to the periphery, and not vice versa;
  • geometry. We already know that a geometric pattern is guaranteed to look advantageous on extended nails. But, in fairness, we note that vertical stripes look no less impressive on short nails. Stick to the proportion, do not cross out the plates with horizontal lines and enjoy the harmony of minimalism;
  • phantasmagoric abstraction. Incomprehensible, somewhat daring and wayward will appeal to "free artists" who do not want to confine themselves to the boundaries of everyday life. Replace the usual silver with gold, add rich shades like burgundy and enjoy the result of your efforts;
  • textured manicure. And we are talking here not only about a matte finish, but also about natural textures in the first place. Well in the autumn interpretation looks flock or stone severity, beaten like;
  • themed patterns. As relevant as ever in the season of despondency and apathy. It is not necessary to completely draw the leaves on short nails, it is enough just to outline its contours or any part of the botany;
  • simplicity of beauty. Naturalness never goes out of fashion. The best proof of this is the shows of Mary Katrantzou and Emilia Wickstead, where the models paraded with fingers painted with nude varnish.

Finding your perfect nude is like finding your perfect red lipstick. Suitable both for jeans and under a dress, sets off the whiteness of a smile and, on the whole, blends harmoniously into the image. The process of buying a nude gel is not as complicated as it seems at first glance. Especially if you use our tips:

  • Nude polish should match your skin tone. The darker the pigment of the epidermis, the more saturated the varnish should be;
  • Now let's define the subtone. Lower your eyes and take a close look at your wrist. If your veins are purple or lilac, then shellac with a cold undertone will surely suit you, but if they are greenish, then with a warm one;
  • This season, girls with olive skin color are lucky. After all, the trendy shades of Autumne Maple, Butterum and shimmery Golden Lime will suit these beauties perfectly;
  • pale-faced women should take a closer look at jars with classic pastel pink contents, similar to Ballet Slipper, and simple beige should be forgotten like a nightmare;
  • rich honey, orange or coffee shades are the best option for dark-skinned girls;
  • You can check the correctness of your choice with the help of a cuticle. If, when applying varnish, it looks reddish or gloomy gray, then such a subtone definitely does not suit you.

And for a better visual assimilation of information, we suggest you look through the photo gallery, not forgetting to save the options you like to the Favorites folder.

Autumn is the time for the realization of the most secret desires, the time for warm meetings over a cup of aromatic tea and the time to enjoy a brand new manicure.
