Lunar manicure - its distinctive feature is manifested in the selection of the nail hole, which the masters draw by hand, and beginners - with the help of stencils. Usually the moon is performed in lighter colors than the rest of the nail.

There is a division into subspecies, where:

• the main color is chosen to taste from varnishes of any texture and shade. The lunula area is not painted over, and after the color layer dries, a transparent top is applied to the entire nail;
• more than 2 shades can be used. The lunar bulge is often combined with a French smile, performing them in one color scheme (the use of a rich tone palette of strong tea or coffee is allowed);
• the hole is drawn in the form:

1. oval;
2. circle;
3. triangle;
4. square;

• group 2 or more moons of a single sample on one plate. One of them is proposed to be left transparent or decorated in the form of a contrast of colors or textures;
• on different nails, holes are made that differ from each other in appearance, texture and shade;
• there is a decor (painting, adhesive and transfer elements) on the surface of the entire nail or only on the lunar part to make it unique.

The gradient look of the manicure highlights the creation of a color transition by type, which is divided into:

• Plain - is performed on the entire hand by covering the nails with varnish, on each nail changing its tone from intense to non-intense shade (from dark chocolate to milky) and vice versa. You can use 3 tones, where the middle finger nail will be covered with the most saturated or desaturated color.
• Horizontal - stretches across the nail, applying from 2 shades of coating. The more colors there are, the sharper the color border becomes in varnishes of different tone palettes (vice versa in varnishes of similar shades).
• Vertical - Created along the nail plate using 2 tones.
• Diagonal - starts from the bottom corner of the nail plate and ends on the opposite side of the free part of the nail diagonally.
• Ombre - implies the transformation of the base of the nail of a rich dark earthy or nude color into its creamy milky end (or the opposite version).
• Linear - represents clear horizontal and vertical stripes made with a brush. Each line is drawn in one color, and the next row in the required tonal sequence. Examples are a gradient with geometric shapes (rhombuses) or a lined nail space.
• Brilliant - the base is selected from the means of cream, glossy, matte, neon textures, and the gradient itself is made with sparkles, the abundance of which will decrease, approaching the transition line. It is performed from the base or from the edge of the nails.
• Chaotic - combines from any 2 shades, their connection in the form of spots occurs in an arbitrary place and direction.

Other types of manicure are also distinguished:

• Glossy - a standard suitable for a holiday or a business meeting. The extensive hue palette with highlights is also paired with other types of nails for creative designs.
• Velvet - is created by pile powder, the texture of which is abundantly presented on the nail industry market. The surface can be in the form of velor or cashmere (depending on the choice of spraying).
• Water - makes it possible to make a unique colorful print on the nail using 2 colors (for example, contrasting) varnish and water. First, the nail is covered with a base from a range of light flesh tones, after applying the pattern, a colorless fixer is used.
• Glitter - adds shine to the everyday look. Of the 3 types of glitter, a gel agent is used for applying to the nail.
• Magnetic - is a varnish with small metal particles in the structure, which, under the action of magnetic blades, are able to take the form of volumetric patterns (depending on the type of magnet), creating the effect of space or a precious stone.
• Matt - changed the usual shine to an elegant coating that is not inferior in terms of the range of shades to gloss. A colorless top or colored varnish of a matte texture will help to achieve dullness.
• Metal - imitation of mirror and metal surfaces. The nail industry has a variety of colors and manicure methods, which can be done with:

1. metallic varnish gel structure;
2. mirror spraying;
3. films;
4. finished false nails;
5. foil.

• Pearl - with iridescent luster resembles the shine of pearls. The effect is achieved by using a varnish with mother-of-pearl or pearl rub. The assortment is represented by a wide range of shades, among which soft beige tones are often preferred.
• Fluorescent - glows in the dark due to the presence of a luminous substance in the varnish. The color palette cannot provide a rich selection of dark chocolate and cream tones.
• Temperature - there are two and three colors. Changes the color of the nail plate (contrast or the edge of the nail darkens) under the influence of water or air temperature.

Successful combinations of shades of brown and beige

A manicure in brown and beige tones can be performed in a variety of color combinations.

Manicure in brown-beige tones consists of neutral natural colors that do not lose relevance in nail design, which makes it possible to introduce this color scheme into new ideas and technologies for performing manicure (with appropriate decor).

For a specific length and shape of the nail plates, there are nuances in the development of manicure design, so the exact choice of shades and decorative elements is individual for each category.

For short nails

Short nails are complemented by the tenderness of nude tones and warm coffee range, individually or in combination. The nude translucent color palette is able to visually lengthen the nails and fingers, light and warm brown shades give the hands neatness and grooming.

For decorative finishing, pearl dust is used along with small beads, sequins, rhinestones to accent the glossy finish, or powder with bristles to highlight 1 nail on a matte design. French is combined with a moon manicure, where the area of ​​the arc and the moon is drawn in a brown tone (or a hole is formed from rhinestones of different sizes).

Stylishly combine on nails mirror, glossy and matte varnish of the same color. Drawings are made in geometric or minimalist style.

For long nails

The smile of a dark chocolate jacket paired with a pink-beige base is combined with a glitter coating (to match the arch of the jacket) on the ring finger plate.

Negative space is also gaining popularity, where part of the free edge of the nail is covered with a transparent top, and then - with a creamy shade of varnish and over the entire area of ​​the nail (as an option, only at its end), an abstract or discreet painting passes. Glittering adhesives, stickers, foil and glitter are offered as decor.

For almond nails

In a matte structure manicure, shades of black-brown are combined with a predominance of pinkish-beige tones (and vice versa), focusing on the ring finger with the help of light rubbing, foil, film or glitter (art painting is also common).

With the almond shape, the body gloss also looks exquisite with metal details (monograms), which can be made with varnish that differs from the background texture, foil and pile powder, with a monochromatic floral motif.

For sharp nails

A sharp form is characterized by pretentiousness, expressed in gold decor (foil, casting, sparkles and glitter) against the background of a single or multi-colored glossy and matte finish. The design on both hands is mirrored.

Saturated red-brown shades of the nail base prevail, but there are also options for highlighting the nails of the ring fingers in translucent flesh-pink tones.

For square nails

The matte and glossy textures of pastel nude and earthy colors interact closely with metallic foil and glitter details. Chocolate (milky or intense) tones combined with rhinestones and corduroy patterns create a festive design, while abstraction and discreet (or contrasting) floristry accompany a cozy everyday look.

Up to 2 plates are highlighted with animal prints or intricate dark lettering on a light background. Umber tones are balanced with foil and rhinestones, and beige - with delicate patterns.

How else to emphasize the beauty of a brown-beige manicure?

To focus attention on women's hands, they use not only color, but also decorative elements.

Patterns

Abstract or geometric patterns and lines are relevant for all types of nails, which are performed with thin brushes, toothpicks and stamping technique, where:

1. varnish is applied to the stencil with the selected pattern;
2. silicone stamp imprints the pattern;
3. the image is transferred to the nail already covered with varnish.

The openwork elements are lace cut out under the nail plate, hand-drawn or stamped. An openwork design is usually done all over the nails.

Drawings

They are carried out with a thin brush by hand, stamping with a suitable stencil or an adhesive version is glued to the plate. There are both small minimalist designs (hearts, triangles) and artistic images (such as animals).

Rhinestones, sequins and glitters

They have a rich tint and textured variety. Sequins and glitter can cover the nail partially and completely, they emphasize the hole with rhinestones or glued in any place.

Broths

Strokes

A thin contour of the nail area is outlined with a metal tape for nail design or varnish in a color contrasting with the background (dark outline and beige background).

Accentuating the cuticle

The technique is mistaken for a subtype of moon manicure. The design has the appearance of a concave moon stretching along the cuticle border. This line can continue to the edge of the nail. Drawn in a contrasting color or highlighted with gold foil.
