Balanced details are considered a sign of impeccable taste today, so all current aspects of the fashion world are subordinated to one goal - creating a harmonious and fashionable female image. There are simply no insignificant or minor components in this matter. Everything is important - clothes and shoes, hairstyle and makeup, accessories and jewelry, as well as pedicure and manicure. One ill-thought-out detail, even if each element in your image is beautiful and fashionable in itself, and disharmony will destroy the overall perception of your appearance. Based on this, we propose today to pay attention to fashionable manicure and pedicure, which are made in the same style. It's summer outside, which means it's time to show others this amazing masterpiece of the nail industry.
Main trends
Summer manicure-pedicure ideas 2022 are presented in several directions. This can be either a trendy duet of fingernails and toenails, decorated in the same design, or options that complement each other, for example, the same decor, nail technique or similar prints. Manicures and pedicures can be performed in different colors and can be either bright or delicate, at your discretion. However, you shouldn’t get too carried away with catchy and provocative shades of varnish as a base. It makes more sense to use such tones for drawing. It looks very nice to highlight the nail plate on the big toes and ring fingers with similar accents. And one more secret - if you make the same variations, then add a little zest to the overall picture in the form of some differences. Let them be made in the same style, but they are not twins.
Manicure-pedicure delicate pastel
Thanks to its unique ability to be universally combined with any outfit, the pastel palette in the duet of manicure and pedicure is in great demand in the summer season. Fashionable design in nude style involves the use of pale pink, cream, beige and any other shades of the pastel palette. This option will be an ideal solution for both gentle and romantic young ladies, and for lovers of a more catchy design. The pastel tandem manicure-pedicure looks very beautiful with accent nails, which can be decorated with pieces of mica, rhinestones, glitter or patterns, such as a lace pattern, geometric shapes or abstraction.
Amazing ombre
Smooth ombre transitions always attract admiring glances and look gentle and charming. To create a summer manicure-pedicure 2022 in this style, nail specialists recommend giving free rein to your imagination and using more than two shades of the same range when decorating, or even giving preference to contrasting varnishes. Smooth transitions can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal. It also looks very interesting to stretch flowers not on one nail plate, but from finger to finger. Manicure and pedicure can be performed in the same ombre variation or in different ones. For example, on the nail plates of the hands we create vertical transitions, and on the feet – from nail to nail. To complete the fashionable summer ombre manicure-pedicure tandem, neat designs on several fingers or patterns of rhinestones or beads will help.
How to choose the same style for manicure and pedicure in 2022
Paired nail designs are often used in the summer, when the owner wears open shoes or sandals - it looks quite impressive.
But even in winter, knowing that manicure and pedicure are done in the same style, a woman feels harmonious and confident.
You don’t have to be limited in your choice of color; it all depends on your mood and personal preferences.
Masters often advise choosing one basic tone when performing manicures and pedicures, but if you want to experiment, then this is welcome.
There are so many options for nail design that if you have free time, you can change the design every day and not repeat it for years.
Stylish geometry
Diamonds, squares, triangles and other geometric shapes in nail design have become a hit this summer season, so simple and original designs in a similar theme are simply a must to decorate your nails. The main colors of the stylish tandem with geometry are classic black and white coatings, as well as red, pink, raspberry or turquoise varnishes. Experts advise decorating all nails with geometric shapes or placing designs only on accent fingers. Particularly impressive is the chaotic arrangement of the figures and the “negative space” technique, which not only complements the manicure-pedicure with originality, but also somewhat smoothes out the “sharp corners”.
What types of pedicure varnishes are there?
Of course, a pedicure is a whole series of operations for caring for toenails, and covering them with varnish is only the final stage. However, it is the varnish that draws attention to the feet and it also reveals all the shortcomings and mistakes in foot care. Any carelessness here can ruin all your efforts to create a stylish look. So let's take the choice of nail polish very seriously.
What are they like? Nail polishes vary in purpose:
- Basic – its function is to prime and level the nail, make the base coating more resistant to mechanical damage, and protect it from chipping. If you have a base varnish, due to the presence of cellulose in its composition, the base varnish stays on the nail longer and better. The base varnish is transparent.
- Matte is the main coating; it can serve as a background for decoration; for the most part it does not conflict with other shades, but can act alone. Matte varnish is now at the peak of fashion. It protects your nails well, gives them a velvety effect and lasts a long time. In addition, it is suitable for any nail shape and for any occasion.
- Shiny is also a very popular coating. Glossy nails always look feminine and formal. It is not as durable as matte, but much more elegant.
- Semi-matte is the golden mean between matte and shiny. Also suitable for any occasion. Looks good in decor. Using a semi-matte varnish, it is good to apply designs on a matte finish.
- Craquelure is a new thing in nail design. After application, it creates a network of picturesque cracks on the surface of the nail. This is due to the fact that it destroys the structure of the previous layer. This varnish must be used carefully and applied in a thin layer. And it is not compatible with all types of varnishes. If you do not take this circumstance into account, then instead of picturesque cracks on your nails you may end up with untidy, crumbling rags.
And yet, the main thing we pay attention to when choosing a varnish is its color.
Monochromatic manicure-pedicure
This proposal is considered one of the most common designs, which at the same time looks very elegant and feminine. With this design, you can choose any shade that will harmoniously complement your image and suit your skin tone. The main feature of a summer monochromatic manicure-pedicure is the simultaneous use of two colors of varnish, for example, red and black, pink and gray or pink and purple. This option will not only look original, but will also allow you to turn many different ideas into reality. Apply coatings to the nail plates of the hands and feet in a chaotic manner and enjoy the result. To create a more spectacular manicure-pedicure, you can experiment with a combination of techniques. For example, make one shade of the coating glossy and the other matte.
Harmonious color combinations with pedicure polish
How to combine colors correctly in the coming season? The color of the pedicure, shoes and clothes will form a harmonious ensemble if:
- For a blue pedicure, you will wear chocolate-colored shoes.
- Purple sandals go well with a lemon or golden pedicure.
- A red pedicure will perfectly set off the berry shades in your clothes or shoes.
- Green open sandals will effectively demonstrate an orange or purple pedicure.
But these are by no means exhaustive rules. As they say, options are possible. You have to take a look at the season: in winter the shades of varnish can be darker, in summer they can be lighter and lighter. The decor of nail plates can also be seasonal: in winter – stars, snowflakes, “knitted” pedicure, in summer – flowers, butterflies, marine themes. Of course, the length, shape and condition of your nails also make their own adjustments.
Bright manicure and pedicure design
At all times, to design manicures and pedicures in the warm season, salon masters tried to use bright and rich shades of varnish in their work, because summer is a wonderful time when you want to shake off severity and restraint, and, succumbing to a gust of warm wind, rush towards lightness and bright colors. The summer season of 2022 was also no exception, so the design of a fashionable manicure and pedicure should be based on bright and rich shades. Rich red, blue, terracotta, orange, green, raspberry or lemon, as well as gold or silver varnish in this case are just what you should pay attention to. Original drawings on a summer theme in the form of fruits, berries, seascapes or colorful floristry will only make a bright manicure-pedicure tandem more attractive.
Manicure-pedicure with shiny decor
Many young ladies cannot imagine their manicure and pedicure without the use of sparkles or sparkling decorative ornaments in the design. In such cases, nail designers recommend not to deny yourself to your loved one and experiment a little with similar ideas. To create a more laconic but brilliant design, you can use one of the types of rubbing in manicure-pedicure. Accent nails on the big toes and nails on the ring fingers, highlighted with glitter or rhinestone patterns, look no less beautiful. The location of the decor does not have to be duplicated. You can also use decorative ornaments only to decorate your manicure. For a pedicure in this option, you should look for a laconic design using the same shades of varnish.
#3 Red pedicure with design: a bright accent in your look
Rich and bright shades look great on the legs. One of them is burgundy. It is this red color with a dark undertone that will look noble and stylish on your nails.
The trend is burgundy, cherry, and wine shades. They harmonize perfectly with rhinestones, broths
Pay attention to the combination of red and white colors. On the legs, as well as on the hands, it looks very gentle and beautiful.
If the brightness of red scares you, then try a matte red pedicure. He looks reserved and noble. At the same time, do not forget to add decor to the pedicure with rhinestones, bouillons or silver and gold glitter. A plain matte pedicure is not acceptable; it looks banal and simple.
Fashionable French
French design is considered an irreplaceable classic that can be incredibly transformed and complement any female look. The design of this idea in a summer manicure-pedicure for the 2020 season gives fashionistas absolute freedom when choosing shades and the shape of a smile.
