Colors
The individual style of many participants on the social network Tumblr is associated with such trends as punk rock, grunge and gothic. It is for this reason that the most successful toggle manicure is created in black. Made using an interesting technique, nail art turns out to be very effective.
Also popular colors for this nail art are pastel colors, that is, nude, milky and beige. In combination with an ethnic print or a small pattern, you can get a stylish manicure. It will be the most suitable option for a romantic look or for the office at work.
Brighter shades are used by more daring and confident girls. The most popular tones are: yellow, green, wine and blue.
Interesting ideas for a beautiful print
Easy manicure with cactus
A particularly beautiful and laconic idea would be to make such a simple drawing for the summer. This is a very fresh idea that will go perfectly with green, emerald, light green and white coatings. The cactus is made as an ornamental plant in a pot or as a wild cactus in the desert.
The shape of the nails suitable for this print can be any: square, oval, round, almond-shaped or sharp.
Tropical manicure
A bright, juicy and simply beautiful manicure with a tropical design will fit perfectly into your summer vacation. Do not push into the background bright drawings of flamingos, leaves, palm trees, fruits, and other designs. After all, they are the ones who will reflect real summer on your nails.
Tropical flowers are the most difficult to make, and if you don’t know how to draw, you can use special stickers. Such stickers are very light and easy to use, which simply cannot be distinguished from manual drawings.
Bright manicure with a parrot
If you are a fan of the cartoon “Rio,” then you will definitely like this print. A very beautiful, bright and at the same time interesting manicure with the image of a parrot will allow you to become the star of the summer season.
Most often, parrot drawings are made on a plain bright coating, and in another case, on an ombre finish. Parrots are depicted in a more realistic form or can be made into a cartoon image.
Prints
The effectiveness of a manicure depends on the technique, as well as the design. A toggle manicure should be laconic and minimalistic. Although it is possible to create a design using more complex techniques.
In this style, geometric shapes are often used to create designs. Moreover, it does not really matter whether they occupy only part of the nail or cover the entire plate. A fairly popular design option is when one geometric shape smoothly flows into another.
Fashion trends
One of the most fashionable trends in “tumbler” manicure is as follows: a pattern imitating a mesh (or cobweb) is applied, and a picture with a print is placed on top. Pictures can have the most unexpected content: from letters, numbers and symbols to images of various gestures. Black and white nail designs are very popular, when symbolic images of the Chinese symbols “yin” and “yang” alternate. You can depict emoticons with different facial expressions.
This is interesting! Another interesting idea is to cover it with a layer of matte varnish of any dark color and apply rhinestones in the form of a crown or tiara to the lower part.
Drawings
Designs are also applied to the nails when creating a tumbler style manicure. These can be beautiful and positive images. The use of children's motifs is also allowed. For example, these could be cartoon characters, funny animals, etc.
Sometimes “ironic” designs are used when creating a manicure. For example, these could be smoking animals or bold inscriptions. Nail-art designs with different colors are also popular.
Current designs and techniques
The effectiveness of a manicure depends not only on the design, but also on the technique of its execution. “Tumbler” loves conciseness and minimalism, but at the same time does not exclude the use of more complex techniques in which details require a lot of attention. That’s why you should turn to experienced and trusted nail technicians for a quality manicure. The following are the most common options.
Prints
This style loves geometric shapes. Moreover, it does not matter whether they cover the entire nail plate, occupy only a certain part of it, or are placed only on a few nails out of all. Options are extremely popular when the geometric shape of the print is complex and smoothly transitions into another. Not every master can carry out such a design, even if he has a lot of experience, but the result will exceed all expectations.
External covering
A single-color matte finish is a thing of the past: this year, alternating glossy and matte varnishes is popular. Overall, this method allows you to diversify the design and make it even more interesting. In addition, with a certain amount of talent, the master will be able to surprise you even with complex patterns that can be seen on the borders of glossy and matte coatings.
The metallic effect, which is created by rubbing in (using special powder), has been especially loved by women lately. This technique makes the manicure even more interesting, and its shine in the sun is mesmerizing.
Drawings
In this case, there is a choice between something cute or something thoughtful.
If a girl wants to be distracted by something positive and beautiful during the day, then she should ask the master to do some interesting (even if a little “childish”) design on her nails. These could be kittens, a paper airplane, or even some cartoon characters.
At the same time, Tumblr loves to captivate its viewer and make him think about the meaning of what he saw. If a girl likes secret signs or read between the lines, then drawings of the rhythm of a beating heart, secret hieroglyphs, numbers and the like will suit her.
Particular attention should be paid to “ironic” drawings, which are made in the form of smoking animals, a knife or needle stuck into a drawn heart, vulgar and bold inscriptions, and indecent gestures.
Among other things, you can find interesting manicure designs with flowers.
