Color combinations
The color palette of blue is very wide - it includes azure, sky, cornflower blue, sea green, gray, and niagara. It is not surprising that you can choose a corresponding additional color for any of the listed shades. In this case, you need to take into account some parameters - the temperature of both colors, the amount of additional varnish introduced and the use of other nail design decorations.
With pink
Blue and pink are best combined in pedicures when pastel-colored varnishes are used. This option is a very gentle solution, suitable for a light dress made of weightless fabrics. You can add elegance if you unobtrusively decorate a large nail with a rhinestone or a small pattern.
With yellow
This pair of colors can create a summer-style pedicure. But when using them, you need to know that the outfit must contain at least one of these colors, ideally both. The print on the toenails can replicate the manicure. With blue nail polish you can create the following look: with a pale blue dress of a simple cut, perform a pedicure with a bias check, where the base will be yellow and the intersecting stripes on top of it will be blue; a discreet small yellow accessory (hair clip or earrings) will be the perfect finishing touch.
With white
The universal combination of white and blue allows you to apply any designs - play with options with the sky, drawing clouds or space, draw snowflakes, peas, stripes, imitate Gzhel. For a summer dress, you can apply a nautical print (horizontal blue and white stripes) and decorate the center of the nail with an anchor image.
With blue
To prevent blue and blue from merging, a third color is usually introduced (white, just a little yellow or silver). Or they perform a gradient - a smooth flow from blue to blue. A pedicure using this technique will definitely attract attention and will not merge with the outfit, harmonizing with it properly.
Baby blue
A gentle pedicure can be created by using a sky-colored or niagara-colored polish. Also, weightlessness and discreet candy will be added by:
- White color;
- moon pedicure (white holes);
- combination with pastel shades of pink;
- use of matte varnish;
- drawings of hearts and flowers.
With silver
Rhinestones, sparkles or pattern elements can serve as silver details in a blue pedicure. In the current lunar pedicure, silver holes will add unusualness, and crystals will help create a wedding nail design - provided that the bride's outfit includes blue accessories. Silver-blue is associated with winter, so you can’t argue with this and apply snowflakes and ornate branches with sparkling varnish, like frosty patterns on a window.
Sky blue
This shade of blue can be achieved by using a varnish of a similar color or by being creative and visually achieving a delicate heavenly shade yourself. This is done using a horizontal gradient using white varnish - you can even introduce a third color (a more saturated blue or even blue), this will not make the design heavier.
Light blue
Light shades can be classified as classic - they equally well complement office style and harmonize with a cocktail dress. Close to white, light blue varnish suggests the perfection of a pedicure, since it is able to draw attention to any flaw. A novelty in the field of nail design - acrylic powder is used on a light palette.
Pale blue
This shade closely borders on white and only gives off a light blue color up close, which can be used to create business looks or as an unobtrusive, neat pedicure.
Matte
Matte finish gives your nails a neat finish. The fashion trend of this year was the combination of glossy and matte varnishes of the same shade. Blue was no exception, representing one of the most suitable colors for this. A variety of designs are made with a matte gloss finish - stripes, geometry, flowers. But it is also used as an independent color, giving the image completeness and at the same time originality.
With gold
Gold adds solemnity to a pedicure, so it should be performed in accordance with the event - a wedding, a buffet reception or an evening party. Golden details can be expressed in the form of baroque ornaments, single rhinestones, stickers - all this is applied to a blue background of any tone. Alternating golden nails with blue ones will look no less interesting.
With orange
In this pair, more than in any other, it is important to maintain the brightness or mutedness of both colors. Saturated deep blue (close to the color of sea wave) is combined with bright red, being a contrasting solution for people who like to emphasize their individuality. Calm soft blue matches muted orange, close to coral. For both the first and second combinations, clear images or lines are better suited.
With gray
If bright blue is used together with gray, then such a pedicure allows for a variety of forms used, which are expressed mostly in abstract figures. When the tones are light and soft, then an additional white color is introduced - they are used to mark the boundaries between the elements so that they do not merge with each other.
With red
Blue and red can complement a bright and memorable image. At the same time, you need to be careful with such a pedicure - it can steal all the attention. Blue, which is close to blue, goes best with red - various patriotic ideas in the form of national flags or nautical themes are implemented on the nails.
Yellow manicure with design for summer 2022
Yellow color is an ideal base for creative manifestation and implementation of original ideas. Among them are not only everyday designs, but also something more interesting. We have prepared a whole selection of options for every taste.
Minimalism
Despite the fact that previously the minimalist style in manicure was characterized by a black and white color scheme, now everything is somewhat different. You can increasingly see a variety of shades as a base or accent, and yellow is no exception. Moreover, designing nails in this color is the most suitable solution for beginners. Bright and simple design is a real trend for 2020. Draw thin twigs, lemons or pineapples, stripes or a dotted pattern in yellow on a transparent background. Be sure that such a manicure will definitely not go unnoticed.
Tropical print
When, if not in summer, decorate your nails with a tropical print in the form of foliage and flowers. This is one of the most favorite types of design of modern fashionistas. Moreover, it can not only be drawn by hand, but also made at home. To do this, you will need to purchase stickers or sliders that will help you implement your favorite design idea. Of course, the transfer process is quite simple, but beginners may need a little practice. This design can be decorated with a little sparkles and rhinestones to give it more sparkle.
Butterflies
It is this pattern that reflects the lightness of hot summer days. Most often it is applied manually using a set of paints and thin brushes. This allows you to carefully draw all the details on the wings, which help create the desired effect. In some cases, you can use stickers for this or make a butterfly out of rhinestones. Of course, the design will be quite large and voluminous, which is not always convenient in everyday life.
Juicy fruits
It’s hard to imagine a manicure without a fruit print, especially in yellow. It enjoys unprecedented popularity because it best reflects a good summer, beautiful weather and the gifts of nature. Girls practically do not decorate their manicure with decor, but at the same time they try to make the fruit design more and more realistic and voluminous. Well, the result is really worthy of attention.
Marine design
Yellow color is ideal for marine themed designs. That is, the embankment, sunset or sunrise, palm trees and much more. In fact, this design can look completely different, because it all depends on the vision of the master. Some will focus on the sea coast, others on the beauty of the sun. But in any case, together with the yellow coating, this manicure looks very beautiful.
Abstraction
If you don't like concrete images on your nails, choose abstraction. Moreover, the yellow monochromatic coating allows you to use a large number of shades for design. It can be applied randomly by simply mixing paints. It is important not to think about the result, but simply to create. Then the manicure turns out unique and will be difficult to repeat. Therefore, it is applied mainly to only one nail.
Ombre effect
As you know, a gradient is made primarily using bright colors. Yellow is ideal for this, so you can safely combine it with red, orange or green shades. At home or in the salon, the result will be decent. After all, the main thing in this matter is at least a little practice and basic knowledge about the technique of creating a gradient.
With rocks
The use of multi-colored small stones in a pedicure can border on bad taste, but only if you do not control their quantity and thoughtlessly scatter them over the surface of the nail. In fact, toenails decorated with natural or artificial stones can also look sophisticated. One of these options looks like this: on a blue surface, place one black stone in the center of each nail, while using black as the base color for the outfit, and refresh it with blue using a small accessory.
Pedicure design pink: plain ideas 2022
Absolutely girlish pink color will appeal to many in 2021. A variety of shades of feminine pink can be used for a monochromatic pedicure design. But you can diversify it with decor from rhinestones of various colors and sizes, liquid or dry silver sparkles, glitter, foil, drawings, patterns or stickers in white or black, using an effective matte finish. Beautiful versions of the design called “broken glass” look great on a pink solid surface. Mother-of-pearl rub in pink shades creates an incredible, simply cosmic effect. Multi-colored shiny sequins go perfectly with plain pink nail polish.
With an image
Any image can be applied as a drawing - reflecting the mood of its owner or serving as a non-trivial addition to a stylish outfit.
French
For lovers of classic French pedicure, only the tip of the nail can be highlighted with a light blue varnish, using a natural color as the base - beige, soft pink or transparent.
A more creative option is used when there is a desire to combine tradition with originality. A successful example of the implementation of such an idea is shown in the photo - when an animal print is applied to the base.
Lunar
You can also perform a lunar pedicure in blue tones in several options:
- the hole remains unpainted (or is covered with natural-colored varnish), and the base of the nail is made blue;
- the hole can be made colored by choosing any of the matching varnishes;
- line the recess with sparkles or rhinestones.
With flowers
Flowers can be placed on the surface of the nail in a complex, intricate pattern (which can even be laid out as a decorative element) or simple, unobtrusive (such as a sakura branch or white daisies on a blue background). Bright pink roses with lush greenery on a bright blue base look quite interesting. There are many options, the main thing is to choose the one that suits a particular case.
Geometry
An endless variety of ideas represents a geometric pedicure - any shapes and lines can be drawn by hand or using stencils. Intersecting lines, overlapping triangles, zigzag stripes are just a few ways to decorate your nails using geometry. Greater variety is added by the combination of colors, the use of sparkles and matte varnish.
Gradient
A smooth or sharp transition from one color to another is called a gradient. It can be created either on a single nail or by painting all the nails on one foot in different colors. Borders can also be clear or smooth. A gradient with a clear separation is applied using a special manicure brush, and a flowing one using a sponge: a small piece of foam rubber is dipped in a color stretch and transferred with an imprint onto the nail.
Ombre
This type of gradient is performed in one color tone, and several varnishes are required for this. For example, in a blue pedicure, a stretch of colors on one nail may look like this: pale cornflower blue, heavenly, azure, blue. This selection of palette allows you to achieve a soft and smooth transition.
Bright yellow manicure with decor for summer 2022
Despite the fact that the yellow color itself looks bright, such a manicure is still decorated with decor. After all, this has become firmly entrenched in nail art and has become a fashion trend. Small rhinestones without color are best suited for manicure design. Moreover, they can be used in different ways. This can be a small amount on one or two nails or full coverage. Also, rhinestones are often used to create a flower or a butterfly. In general, there are no restrictions, so you can try different decoration options.
In the summer of 2022, foil-based decor has become especially relevant. Scotch tape is most often used to create accents in geometric designs. This makes it look brighter. As for “dragon scales,” they are presented in the form of small pieces of foil. It is fixed on the nail plate in such a way as to form a diamond or stripe. This design looks impressive. Rubbing allows you to achieve a softer, more refined shine. Therefore, it is used most often, regardless of the color scheme of the manicure.
With rhinestones
A beautiful pedicure can be achieved if you use rhinestones. They are laid out on each nail or on a single one, their number can also vary - from one to several different sizes, the color choice is also unlimited - transparent, silver or colored. An interesting option is when a lunar design is made, and the recess is lined with crystals of different sizes. Another common solution is a thin line along the base of the nail or along its tip.
Shellac
To apply shellac pedicure, more liquid products are used, which you need to get used to. But after a couple of times all difficulties disappear. This minor inconvenience is completely offset by the duration of the pedicure. You also need to know that the use of gel requires the presence of special devices in the arsenal - an ultraviolet lamp and special coatings. Shellac allows you to apply any type of pattern, glitter, rhinestones, stickers and acrylic powder.
Pedicure with gel polish
Using gel polish allows you to maintain your pedicure for a longer time than regular polish. In order to implement it, you need to purchase: buff; base coat for gel polish; base coating; fixative; ultraviolet lamp. The consistency of the gel polish allows you to create all the listed designs on your nails, as well as combine yellow with other colors and complement it with rhinestones. The difference between this product and the usual one is that to dry the gel polish, nails must be placed under a UV lamp after applying each layer.
Photo examples
A wide variety of interesting and unusual ideas are presented in the photographs. They indicate that the blue color does not set any boundaries in the selection of an outfit, the use of various techniques and secondary colors.
Blue pedicure is universal in use. It can be adapted to any event with the help of additional elements - rhinestones, sparkles, images will be a very successful addition, provided they are used appropriately. Blue also allows for the use of a large number of complementary colors - the wide palette provides many options to choose from. This pedicure also suits any style, in harmony with the overall look.
Pros and cons of yellow nail design
Like any other color, yellow is ambiguous and requires a careful approach, evaluating all the pros and cons.
Pros of yellow coatings:
- girls and women who use them to create a pedicure experience a significant surge of strength and are able to “move mountains”;
- mask small natural defects of the nail plates - cracks, unevenness, delamination;
- are distinguished by their versatility. Depending on the chosen shade and decor, they are used for formal, festive and business styles;
- even a simple, monochrome design invariably attracts the attention of others;
- goes well with most colors.
Minuses:
- It is not advisable to use for ladies with short and wide nails, since yellow tones visually make them even wider;
- do not go well with brown tan and very dark skin;
- When using single-color continuous coatings, regular correction is necessary, since the contrast with the growing areas of the nails makes the legs sloppy.
Otherwise, the yellow palette opens up great scope for creativity and bringing unusual ideas to life.
Fact about pedicure
The birthplace of foot care - pedicure - was Ancient Egypt. The nobility of this country carefully cared for their feet with the help of essential oils. It was considered bad form to go on a date with unkempt legs.
