Why do they paint their nails different colors?
This question cannot be answered unambiguously. Everyone has their own reasons for this, but they are all based on the same basis: it’s fashionable, it’s stylish, it’s beautiful.
Think for yourself, classic manicure has long become something familiar and commonplace. And sometimes you want a holiday and bright colors. I want to outright crush my boyfriends and catch the envious glances of my girlfriends. And there is nothing left to do but paint your nails in different colors.
No, of course, there are other options: buy new outfits, change your hair color. But now we are not talking about them. In addition, manicure is one of the fastest, cheapest and most effective ways to cheer yourself up.
The multi-colored design is also attractive because it does not take much time, unlike painting on nails. In addition, you will not need any improvised means (stencils, stickers, etc.).
The meaning of manicure colors
The meaning of manicure colors:
- A red manicure speaks of the passion of its owner, who prefers a storm of emotions and honesty. Such women achieve enormous success in their careers and know how to lead people. Behind the mask of sycophancy they always see the catch, the true face of the employee. They are very difficult to manage, which is why they become managers. They prefer classics, often combining the colors of bags and shoes. There are very few things in their wardrobe, but all are stylish and expensive. In such a woman’s wardrobe you won’t find cheap Chinese consumer goods; there are only a few stylish and expensive suits. It is quite difficult for them to choose men, despite their passion and love. They are demanding of their significant other, so they are often left alone, even in adulthood.
- Blue varnish speaks of a creative nature that avoids noisy companies and new acquaintances. Such young ladies are very shy, they are reluctant to meet people in public places. The circle of acquaintances is not very wide. Despite this, they really love their friends and relatives with whom they spend time. They are introverts and prefer to be in the company of family members most of the time, avoiding communication with strangers. Most often, these are representatives of creative professions who love to draw and create. Each of them has some interesting, creative hobby that allows them to close themselves off from the outside world. They are very vulnerable, gentle, but are often disappointed in people, because when meeting people they try to be sincere and open. Such girls are often deceived, so they are not always trusting of the stronger sex. They find it difficult to meet new men. Even with excellent appearance, they remain lonely for a long time.
- Lovers of purple nail polish can be called mystical; they really love chic, comfort, wealth, and wasting money. This color on nails can be found on ladies who love money, gifts, and beautiful places. Such representatives of the fair sex are secretive, do not try to talk much about themselves, calculating several steps in advance. Women achieve great success in their careers.

An excursion into the history of nail design
Before we had time to get used to it and enjoy all the charm of the famous French jacket, the representatives of the fair sex were completely overwhelmed by a new fashionable wave. Her name is two-color manicure. True, modern trends are such that it is rapidly becoming multi-colored. Today it is fashionable to paint your nails in different colors. The photos show us a variety of combinations: from conservative to trendy. And the result looks amazing.
Where did this tradition come from? Who decided to tell us how to paint our nails different colors?
And it was like this. A couple of years ago, an Australian creative lady named Christina Fitzgerald released paired sets of polishes. The best part was that their shades matched each other perfectly. The entire European elite did not miss the opportunity to try out new products. And the fashion of painting nails in different colors triumphantly spread across Europe.
Symbolism of red: a little history
The color red was actively used in everyday life, on heraldic symbols, and in clothing. It evokes associations with blood, fire, strength. On the other hand, it is a symbol of love, beauty, and love of life. Therefore, its meaning changed from era to era. In Carthage and Sparta, red was worn by warriors, it is the color of war. And in China, the bride’s outfit was red: it was believed that this was the color of joy and strong feelings - ideal for starting a new, already adult life. The color red could mean greatness, as in Byzantium, where only those of imperial blood could afford red shoes. Or it could mean corrupt love (red light districts in Amsterdam). This color was chosen by revolutionaries, rebels, and innovators.
A whole sea of variations
But today there are a huge number of varieties of such manicure. Now we will learn how to paint your nails with different colors:
- You can alternate shades through one. This manicure will look elegant and original.
- Some people prefer to highlight the index finger and little finger on one hand, and the thumb and ring finger on the other.
- It would be considered a stylish solution if you paint your nails on your thumbs and ring fingers with a different polish.
- There is another technique that refers us to asymmetrical patterns. On one hand, the ring and middle ones stand out. On the other - only big.
But this is far from the limit. There is still a whole kaleidoscope of possibilities. Listen to the stylists. They can tell you a lot about how to paint your nails with different colors.

Studying the color palette
Rainbow nail design is, of course, attractive, but do not forget about various color combinations. Otherwise, you risk getting an elaborate and flashy manicure.
So let's see what colors can be combined with each other. If you are a fan of pink polishes, then you can safely choose brown, gray, or pale blue as a second color. If you like beige nails, you can complement this color with dark brown, emerald or red. For lovers of lilac, dark purple, gray, orange or yellow shades are perfect. Extravagant young ladies cannot live without red. If this sounds like you, add blue or green to it. Yellow will fit perfectly into this range. Black and white polishes are universal. They go with almost all colors. Red or blue will look most advantageous with white. With black - light green, pink lilac. You can also play with contrasts: take black and white colors.
