Moon manicure: spectacular design ideas

There are several types of manicure that invariably hold leading positions. Among these categories is a wonderful moon manicure.

Sweet Bloom

Romantic manicure had a positive influence on fashionable lunar design. Elegant manicures are becoming increasingly popular this year for decorating with beads and creating designs on any theme. Fashion critics note a growing interest in the fascinating sweet flowering technique, which is represented by unusual and mesmerizing three-dimensional designs.

Geometric

As a result of active creative searches, complex versions of lunar manicure with a combination of elements from other manicure styles have become popular. The classic style of painting the hole is still relevant, but updated with a new version. Repeating stripes on a plain nail plate look very interesting and charming. At the request of fashionistas, you can add decorative elements.

Guipure

Themes with support in guipure, lace, and monogram became real hits. As for paints, a variety of ideas are welcome: gradient, matte, metallic or mirror effect.

Minimalism

Minimalism in the decor of lunar manicure this year is expressed in laconic and restrained solutions. For example, on a nail, decorations made of small rhinestones, with the smallest rhinestones, adorn the entire hole or are simply scattered over the surface of the nail plate. Containment through decor allows you to express the inverted French.

Decor with rhinestones

Using rhinestones, you will add feminine and elegant notes to your nail design. In this version, the classic manicure is updated, turning into bright and elegant.

Nude chic

The design comes in a million shades of beige. In this case, the hole can be of different shapes. It is best to highlight the hole with a metal strip. As always, simplicity is the best choice.

Rubbing

The most popular are gold, mirror and silver holes on beautiful long nails. But not only thanks to special powder you can achieve an amazing effect. Glass nail art also copes with this task.

Displaced

There are a lot of ideas for such a manicure. Designers offer an interesting option - offset moon manicure. Its advantage is that you can change the line of the hole, or rather move it.

If we talk about colors, it all depends on your imagination and the imagination of the master:

• red;
• green;
• brown;
• yellow.

Combined

An updated version that combines two types of manicure. We cover the base of the plate with one color, and the hole and tip with another. Another interesting option is when the hole is covered with a clear varnish or not painted over at all, the base is bright in color, and the smile of the tip of the nail is painted in a pastel shade. This manicure is suitable for any occasion.

Bright

Chips and abrasions are clearly visible on bright colors. So, if you want to walk around with this manicure, then you should do it with gel polish. If the coating is applied using the correct technique, it can last up to 3 weeks without much adjustment.

Ombre

We can safely say that this type of manicure is taken from natural landscapes. Every person has watched the sunset or sunrise more than once. Such views are always delightful, because they combine unusual color transitions. Manicure professionals from different directions embody this phenomenon on their nails.

Popular combinations of red and pink, the transition from yellow to green. If you want to create such a design yourself, then you should first practice on paper, and only then do it on your nails.

With decor

These can be rhinestones, beads, sequins, foil or electrical tape. In any case, if your nail artist is experienced enough, from an ordinary lunar manicure he will be able to create a real masterpiece that will cause the envy of all female representatives.

Brilliant

Glitter can instantly change up a classic hole design. As a result, you will get an original manicure, which you will spend a few minutes on. This manicure is appropriate both in bright New Year's looks and in everyday life.

Spot

Another trend is the design of the hole with a voluminous dotted pattern. Here a special tool comes to the rescue - a dots, with which stitches are applied to the boundaries of the hole. You will definitely like this original design option; besides, it looks really feminine and unusual.

Gradient

This super trendy nail design is a great alternative to the classic moon manicure. Suitable colors can vary from neon to pastel. You can also use sparkles and highlights.

Ruffian

When designing nails, masters highlight the cuticle. However, the hole should be emphasized very carefully, drawing a thin strip. However, some options seem more advantageous than others.

"Two in one"

Make a hole, as in the “reverse French”, and highlight the free edge of the nail in the same way as in the classic one. Such accents, as a rule, are made in one shade, but you can use your imagination and experiment - there are no restrictions.

Another version of the “moon” manicure is when the pattern follows the contour of the nail plate, sometimes even along the entire length, which allows you to visually lengthen the nail

Transparent hole

“Moonlight” manicure with a transparent hole (if desired, you can paint it with a neutral nude varnish). The option is simple, but one of the most original for such coverage. However, in this case you can experiment. For example, create a spider web pattern on several nails or complement them with a pink pattern made from acrylic powder.

Colored hole

To create a “moon” manicure with an opaque but colored hole, you need to do the following: apply a base, completely paint your nails with varnish of the shade that you have chosen for the hole, then apply a stencil and apply a second layer of varnish on top of the main color (this method is relevant, first of all , to create a coating using gel polish).

The last step is to apply a topcoat to seal the paint. In this case, the hole can be semicircular or, for example, triangular.

Classic moon manicure colors

Nail artists' favorite colors for lunar manicure are red, white and black. They are standard and quite universal. However, now gel polish manufacturers have such a variety of shades of UV coatings for nails that it would be a pity not to use them.

Nowadays, bright blue colors, beige and green shades are very popular. One of the current nail trends is a combined design that combines different colors, textures and decorative elements.

White

White manicure is often done for a wedding, additionally decorating it with rhinestones, appliqués or pearls. When choosing a white UV coating for nails, give preference to high-quality gel polishes, because inexpensive ones, as a rule, turn out to be liquid in consistency and cover the nails unevenly, leaving gaps and streaks.

This rule applies to the entire base and light palette. You can usually save money without sacrificing quality on color and darker shades. They are thicker from almost all manufacturers.

Black

Black manicure has not gone out of fashion for several years. This is always relevant. Black manicure can be done in a variety of styles - classic, gothic, grunge and others. Black moon manicure is very popular among girls.

It is better to use black gel polish, with which you can create a beautiful and fashionable mirror finish. Black can be combined with any shade of nail polish and decoration, be it rhinestones, foil, mosaic, and so on, so you can find a lot of design ideas based on it.

Red

A sort of classic of the genre. Red color in manicure is considered basic and goes with any clothes and makeup. Red manicure is especially popular in autumn; this color is often combined with gold, rhinestones and kamifubuki. The fashionable combination of black and red is very popular in moon designs.

If you don't want to do a very bright manicure, give preference to cherry, darker wine shade or marsala color.

Among the magnetic gel paints, we can highlight a beautiful raspberry-red shade with golden reflections from the MASURA collection, which is called “Crimson Cat,” as well as a light burgundy shade of TNL “Magnit Luxury.”

Blue

Blue, any variations of it: from light shades and bright blue to deep dark color. The trend is smoky blue and a combination of blue and gray in nail design. The blue “cat's eye” remains relevant, and can be made even more expressive with an additional layer of transparent tinted glass varnish.

In general, the combination of magnetic shellac and colored glass is now very popular. This design option can be complemented with rhinestones or mosaics. Well, don’t forget the classic New Year’s moonlit blue manicure with iridescent snowflakes sprinkled with sparkling acrylic sand.

Beige

Beige manicure is a great everyday nail design option. Dusty shades are very popular now.

There are interesting shades of beige in the OPI “Soft Shades” and “Infinite Shine” lines, as well as the IRISK brand in the NUDE collection, etc.

Pink

Pink, like beige, is a universal color for everyday manicure. Indispensable when decorating short nails, because light shades visually lengthen nails. Pink is the color of spring and summer. It is combined with floral patterns and monograms. If desired, you can make a geometric pattern.

Moon manicure at home Moon manicure >>>

Lunar manicure is no less popular than French manicure. Lunar manicure is done in various ways. The hole can be left unpainted or, conversely, painted. In salons, manicurists who are fluent in painting techniques will not have any difficulty drawing the hole area; at home, lunar manicures are most often done using nail stencils. The “Moon Manicure” section presents various ideas, photos, and videos.

Performing a moon manicure with gel polish (shellac)

Performing a manicure using the “reverse French” technique with gel polish involves the use of a certain list of tools:

· base and top coating; · UV lamp for drying nails; · two gel polishes of different colors; · orange wood manicure sticks; Remover – liquid for removing the sticky layer from the nail plate; · stencils of round or semicircular shape; · beveled gel brush; · file for nail modeling; · degreaser (can be replaced with remover).

Step-by-step instructions for moon manicure with shellac

First, give your nails the desired shape using a nail file and remove the cuticle. If necessary, the cuticle is removed with special means, such as gel or professional scissors. Remover removes the oily layer from the nail. After this step, you can no longer touch your nails, as you can disrupt the further adhesion of the gel polish to the surface of the nail plate. Irregularities in the nail are polished with a buff.

Applying base coat

Once your nails are prepared, you can proceed directly to application. First, apply a thin base coat. It is a thick transparent nail polish. It dries in the same way as gel polish in a UV lamp exactly as long as it should according to the instructions. For example, the company CND, which produces gel polishes and manicure bases, recommends drying its base for 30 seconds. It is most convenient to use Shellac when painting, since careful preparation of the nail is not required before application, which significantly saves time.

First stage

After drying the base, apply a thin layer of the main color, which will be the color of the lunula, to the entire nail plate and dry. To obtain a more saturated and dense shade, the gel is applied again.

Second phase

You need to wait until the gel has completely dried, after which you can attach the stencil. This is done at the bottom of the nail cuticle.

Third stage

Then the free edge of the nail plate is covered with the desired shade. If the lunula turns out darker than the main color, then this situation is corrected with an angled brush dipped in remover. Color gel usually takes longer to dry than base. Drying takes 1-1.5 minutes. If the master has sufficient experience, then it will not be difficult for him to draw the lunula “by hand”.

Fourth stage

When all layers of gel have dried, you can safely remove the stencil. Next, the resulting result is secured with a top coat, which adds shine and durability to the manicure. It dries as quickly as the base, about 30-40 seconds.

If the design requires it, then before applying the top coat, the nail can be decorated with rhinestones, stickers, painting, stamping and other decorative elements.
