Until now, the most fashionable trend was considered to be putting the British flag on your nails. But gradually this pedestal was occupied by manicure with Russian symbols. A special peak of his activity occurred during the Olympics in Sochi. There were no variations there. Not only fans, but also the athletes themselves sported such a manicure.

To get the desired pattern, the main tool will be a thin brush. And among other things, you need to prepare:

instruments for hygienic treatment of nails;
orange nail stick;
base and top coat, which can be replaced with regular clear varnish;
three nail polishes: red, blue, white;
the brush can be special for nail art; if you don’t have one, a regular one for painting will do.

The Russian tricolor can be depicted in various ways. Let's look at each of them.

Fast, simple, fashionable

Let's start with the easiest way. To do this you need to do the following:

Get a hygienic manicure. Remove the cuticle and give your nails a proper and beautiful shape.

Let's move on to making the tricolor: paint the index finger red; the middle one is blue and the nameless one is white.
Cover each nail with top coat.

Stylish design for patriotic girls is ready. This was the easiest way to do it. With patience and perseverance, you can make a more complex design.

In the following form, master Alina will tell you how to make a manicure with the “Russian flag” ornament:

Apply three colors to the sponge that replicate the tricolor.
Press the sponge onto your nail. Repeat this with each finger. Constantly renew the varnishes on the sponge.

Total information

The British flag has a fairly catchy and bright combination of colors. On a blue background there is a red and white cross, the straight lines of which stretch across the entire area of the flag. Red and white diagonals also stretch from the corners to the center of the cross. Often such a print can be found in other colors, when the British flag on the nails is done either in completely different shades, or the three main shades are swapped. Thanks to the great popularity of the print, even if done in other colors, this manicure remains recognizable.

To achieve this design, it is very important to choose the right varnishes. All coatings must have good density, especially for white varnish, which is supposed to be applied over a darker blue. In addition, this manicure is usually performed with matte varnishes, since the lack of gloss dictates the grunge style from which this print came into mainstream fashion.

There are other ways to implement this design. It is not necessary to draw it by hand at all. Thanks to the simple shapes and outlines, the British flag on the nails, as in the photo, can be created using, for example, manicure tape. In addition, the most complicated design, supplemented by any elements, can be obtained by placing stickers - films - on the nails.

Decorating such a manicure can be called quite complicated, since traditional sparkles in its decor may not be entirely appropriate. As mentioned above, the grunge style does not imply glamor and shine, and therefore this manicure can be complemented, for example, with small opaque rhinestones imitating rivets, etc. A variety of blots, letters of the English alphabet, etc. look good. This manicure, in principle, is much more suitable for young girls and teenagers who prefer a casual style.

This design can hardly be called everyday. Rather, it is suitable for special events: public holidays, team sports competitions, themed concerts. To create a holistic, harmonious image, the outfit for such a manicure should be carefully thought out.

How to make a Russian flag on your nails?

To depict the Russian tricolor, you will need varnishes of three colors: white, blue and red. Stripes can be placed in different ways: diagonally, vertically or horizontally. You can use different tools to draw lines.

Masters paint stripes with a brush. But specialists have many years of experience working with manicure tools and products. Lovers of home manicure use improvised means: tape, French stripes. It is convenient to draw thin lines with a dots - a manicure pen that has a metal tip.

Manicure in the style of the Russian flag: ideas and options

Vertical or horizontal stripes. They occupy the entire area of the nails. This design is the most expressive. Make perfectly straight lines using French tape or tape.

Tricolor diagonally. They can occupy the entire surface or extend slightly onto the plate.

Nail art made in honor of the World Cup is a great opportunity to finally declare your love for this sport. If you are really partial to it (and also to bright nail designs), then the upcoming matches will definitely become a source of inspiration for you. We'll tell you exactly how the most ardent football fans can decorate their nails to thereby express their support for the Russian national team.

Manicure with the Russian flag for long nails

When your nails are long, you can afford more in terms of design: the very size of the nail plate provides this opportunity. Wider stripes, more sweeping strokes - this will only emphasize the graceful shape of long nails.

Remember that, in addition to the Russian flag itself, you can depict any object that is in one way or another connected with a football theme, and it can be decorated in the colors of the tricolor. A soccer ball, a boot, a fan’s scarf, a referee’s whistle—you can create a whole composition and “paint” the elements in it white, blue, and red.

You could also start your manicure by creating a three-color background in the style of the Russian flag. And then supplement this base with small details and drawings, and also, for example, inscriptions.

We create a design taking into account the shape of the nail

The science of vexillology studies the prerequisites for the appearance and meaning of various symbols and colors on the flags of different countries, thanks to which we know what constituent elements these images consist of. Most often, the design on the flag consists of stripes, squares, circles, stars, images of birds, animals and other special symbols.

When creating a manicure with a flag, it is not enough to simply draw stripes or dots in certain places on the nail plate; you need to take into account the fact that different geometric shapes transform nails of different shapes in different ways. So, when drawing symbols and signs on your nails, you need to remember that:

horizontal stripes visually stretch the nail and make it more elegant and attractive, vertical stripes, on the contrary, flatten it, and oblique stripes perfectly hide nail imperfections (asymmetrical shape, unevenness, etc.);
stripes can be clear and blurry, thin and thick, and the density of the pattern depends on this. The thinner and more precise the lines, the more elegant and “slender” the nail will be. Blurred and wide lines will make it look “voluminous”;
You shouldn’t overload a manicure with a flag with details, especially if your nails are short. It is better to make it stylized and schematic, made in the right colors.

It is important to remember that only on well-groomed hands with neat nails, a manicure with flags, like any other design, will look beautiful, so do not neglect a hygienic manicure. Nails should be the same length and shape, there should be no hangnails, overgrown skin or cuticles.

Patriotic manicure with a pattern of the Russian tricolor

While some, going to the stadium, paint the Russian flag with makeup on their cheeks, others can “play up” the tricolor in a different way - and paint a waving flag on their nails.

This is not difficult to do: you need wavy lines that will imitate the movement of the fabric in the wind.
Choose a background against which all three shades of the Russian flag will look harmonious. It can be a translucent nude coating or, on the contrary, a bright shade that does not “dispute” with white, blue and red.
A good option is to separate the shades from each other and from the background color with a black outline, which will also draw more attention to the design.

Proper care for the health of your nails

Before moving on to the cherished point of how to do a “Russian flag” manicure on your nails, you should talk about the health of the nails themselves and how to properly care for them. Otherwise, no matter how you cover up or paint your unhealthy nails, they will not become beautiful. Don't deceive yourself. Therefore, before doing a Russian flag manicure, make your nails healthy.

To do this, you need to stock up on nourishing and moisturizing oils for nail care. These can be purchased at almost any cosmetic supermarket, and can also be ordered online. In addition to oil, purchase hand moisturizer. They need to lubricate the area around the nail and the cuticle.
