Types of gradient manicure

First we will try to understand what a gradient is. In fact, this is the transition of one color to another, and in manicure it means a stepwise flow of colors.

3. Recently, the spread has received a gradient using at once three close colors( for example, violet, blue and blue).
4. Contrast variant of design, in which the girl tries to combine absolutely distant shades( for example, red and black or yellow and purple).
5. Gradient can be created and gradually, coloring each nail into a new, lighter or darker varnish color( for example, you can harmoniously switch from wine to light red).

If a lady dreams of creating a restrained version of manicure, then she should think about the combination of pastel shades from light gray to beige and pale pink. Similar options look great both for vertical and horizontal transitions.

If the girl has the courage, she can create a bright manicure with a combination of completely unrelated flowers. For example, red and black look great with each other, and if a woman succeeds in blurring the border of the transition from one shade to another, the result will not disappoint.

The main feature of gradient staining is that it is a very bright design, which does not require additional decorations. This is why it is worth noting rhinestones and large images. The only thing that can decorate such a design is tiny, barely noticeable drawings that will give it the ultimate individuality.

Ways to create a gradient manicure

• is easiest to create such a transition using a sponge;
• can also achieve an excellent result, blurring the border between colors with a thin brush;
• a regular make-up sponge can also be used for manicure purposes.

Of course, it is necessary to work carefully when creating such a design, otherwise the manicure will be spoiled, and the entire surface around the nail will be polluted.

The easiest way to work with a regular sponge is a small size:

1. The first thing to do is to lay a foundation on the nail, getting rid of the burrs and cuticles.
2. Next, it is necessary to cover the sponge with two selected varnishes. The transition from one color to another should be barely noticeable, neat, so that the effect of the gradient is felt.
3. The sponge should be applied to the nail with light movements, spreading the varnishes until the desired color transition effect is obtained.
4. After that, it remains only to wipe off the leftover varnish from the skin around the nail plate and apply a layer of clear varnish to the nail itself.

Sponge work is similar to using a sponge, but in the first case you need an auxiliary material for rolling movements.

Gradient on nails with gel-varnish can be created using a brush using the brush:

1. To do this, apply two nails to the nail, for example dark green and light green and start mixing them in the area of ​​the joint with a thin brush.
2. A woman will have a lot to tinker with such a design, especially making sure that the merging of the two shades on different nails looked harmonious on all the plates.

If the girl decides to use the technique, in which the gradient is created by the gradual transition of color from one nail to another, then she needs to refer to the standard technique of working with gel-varnish. Very impressive looks such a manicure in the transition from a saturated pink to a pale pink or white, and also with harmonious work only with pastel tones( for example, a combination of beige, gray and light brown).
