Turquoise manicure: the most current combination options
Elegant, sophisticated turquoise color is an ideal solution for a single-color coating. However, to make the manicure more varied, it is often combined with a variety of other shades. White and turquoise manicure is a classic option that looks especially stylish and festive. It is complemented with a floral, lace pattern, as well as butterflies, stars, etc. This manicure is definitely suitable for attending events and special occasions.
In turn, turquoise and black are an excellent tandem for any occasion. That is, not only for every day, but also for evening events. It all depends on the selected patterns, textures and decorative details. Geometric motifs are always restrained and laconic. Therefore, they add severity to the manicure, despite the bright coating. In turn, abstract designs and monograms are more delicate, so they are chosen for every day. Even with the use of rhinestones and other decorative options.
A harmonious turquoise-pink manicure is an especially gentle, romantic combination. However, in this case it is very important to select shades according to the degree of saturation. Therefore, it is best to choose either bright or pastel colors. By the way, turquoise color is often combined with yellow. This allows you to create a bold, bright design that will certainly not go unnoticed.
Fashionable turquoise manicure 2021: rules for applying color
Turquoise color, like most bright shades, requires adherence to application rules, following which your nails will look flawless. Bright undertones of turquoise look great on long nails. Undoubtedly, such nail art needs decoration, since the large nail plate allows you to place a wide variety of unique patterns.
On short nails, the turquoise color also looks quite attractive. The peculiarity of turquoise color is that it visually lengthens the nail plate, so if you have short nails, then feel free to use this shade for your nail art. Turquoise design on short nails should not be overloaded with details, so limit yourself to a few rhinestones or small patterns.
Turquoise color, like all light shades, “exposes” all the imperfections of the nail plate, so before applying the varnish, be sure to polish your nails with a large file and use a base for the varnish. Only after this apply turquoise gel polish in 1-2 layers, depending on the consistency of the coating.

Manicure with flowers is performed in several ways:

- using stencils is the best helper for girls who want to see beautiful and perfectly drawn patterns on their nails
There are a huge number of manicure options with flowers, so experiment with patterns, add light and dark tones to turquoise and your manicure will no longer be simple and trivial.

The lace design in black and turquoise looks especially interesting. In this case, you can use any color to draw the pattern. Complement this design with small black rhinestones for edging the pattern, use mehendi patterns instead of lace. This design is significantly different from classic pastel nail art, largely due to the contrast and originality of the pattern.

If you are bored with French and lunar designs and want to see something interesting and unique on your nails, then a marble manicure is exactly what you need. Marble design is just gaining popularity among fashionistas who appreciate the unusual nature of this nail art. The pattern on each finger is unique, and also looks attractive and complex.
Marble turquoise design is often combined with a black shade, but for a more laconic and delicate nail art, you can use white or pink.
Geometric manicure in turquoise color for short nails 2020
The geometric theme is the best assistant for girls with short nails. Longitudinal thin and thick lines, color blocks and shapes can visually lengthen the nail plate, making it more refined and feminine. Use black varnish to draw the pattern, complementing the design with silver sparkles. For delicate nail art, you will need a white or pink shade, which will make the manicure more airy and light.
Geometric manicure does not tolerate unnecessary details, so you should not clutter your design with complex patterns, massive colo-blocks, or thick lines. Limit yourself to 1-2 patterns on the nail, leaving the so-called “air”.
When talking about geometric manicure, one cannot help but pay attention to the design with negative space. Turquoise manicure with negative space is often combined with dark matte and glossy polishes, creating something like a haze on the nails. Such magnificence looks simply amazing.
Turquoise color is rarely used in nail art, because most girls prefer laconic pastel shades. However, once you get acquainted with this beautiful and rich color with its many shades, you will no longer be able to deny yourself a magnificent and stylish turquoise design.
Types of manicure with turquoise gel polish
There are quite a lot of types of manicure now. The most common design is a combined design, combining various nail techniques and decor. In this section we will look at the most popular nail designs made using turquoise gel polish.
Manicure with rhinestones
As a rule, this type of decor is intended for an evening out. However, in a more modest version - one crystal per nail, it is quite suitable for every day.
Attention: Trendsetters recommend abandoning stones of the same size neatly laid out in a row - this is not only boring, but also not fashionable. It is better to combine “different-sized” rhinestones into interesting compositions, or use them as accents in drawings. Another current solution is a combination of crystals with bouillons, sparkles or chains.
With an image
Most often, floral themes are chosen for nail art in turquoise tones. They create a spring mood and match the romantic style of clothing.
Landscapes are also suitable, especially if they remind you of an exotic vacation.
Another trend of the season is black or white monograms, as well as stripes, as, for example, in the famous “Tiffany style” art.
It’s good to decorate a summer manicure with images of delicious fruits. This “cocktail” will be a great addition to your beach outfit and will lift your spirits. For realism, you can apply a finishing gel to your nails that imitates drops of water.

With glitter
Whatever we choose - a small shimmer that gives a slight shimmer or a larger and more noticeable glitter, no matter how we apply the top coat: on the entire nail, or in fragments, we are guaranteed a radiant festive look. The simplest turquoise manicure will look enchanting, thanks to the glitter that is fashionable this season.
Do you want something less glamorous, but no less bright? It makes sense to try Japanese mini-sequins “Kamifubuki”. They look like colorful glittery confetti and create a playful rather than luxurious look.
French turquoise manicure
The colored French jacket is still relevant and is increasingly pushing its classic counterpart off the catwalks. Why not try variations with shades of sea green, especially in anticipation of the spring-summer season?
You can make the entire nail plate turquoise or highlight just the “smile”.
Don't forget that mixing several techniques is in fashion today. Therefore, we additionally decorate our jacket with painting and rhinestones, but in moderation, without unnecessary pretentiousness. A reverse French manicure is also useful here when decorating the “smile” at the nail hole.
Tip: you can also use the “millennium” technique by lining the edge of the nail with glitter.
The lunar (Hollywood) French is at the peak of popularity. The hole is often emphasized not only with color, but also with small rhinestones laid out in shape. But... this technique is used selectively, for one, less often two fingers on the hand, no more.
Soft blue manicure with flowers
This year, voluminous floral arrangements made of acrylic should look sophisticated rather than massive. It is recommended to complement 3D flowers with rhinestones, micro-beads or curly sparkles (see photo):
Nail art with velvet sand design
“Knitted” voluminous patterns are still on the crest of the fashion wave.
In the warm season, they can be replaced with equally popular monograms or flowers. Sand is usually used to accent several nails or the ring finger - it turns out stylish and unusual.
With rubbing
Mirror finishes are incredibly good on turquoise gel polish. The combination of marine shades and traditional chrome looks no less impressive.
For adherents of a laconic but impressive nail design, you simply cannot find a better manicure with rubbing.
Do you want to create a gentle, romantic image? A pearl rub will help, giving not a bright shine, but a soft, calm shimmer.
Gradient
We advise fashionistas to try a combination of turquoise color with the following shades:
- peach
- pink
- indigo
- emerald
- lemon yellow
- milky white
- purple
The ombre technique is interesting in itself, especially if you perform it on sand or at least a matte finish, as prescribed by the latest fashion trends. And in tandem with rhinestones, patterns or other types of design, it makes an absolutely incredible impression.
New for the season is a vertical gradient with a stretch not from top to bottom, but from left to right.
Wedding manicure
The bride's colored outfit has been trending for several years now, and therefore looks more familiar than shocking. If you choose this trendy shade for a turquoise dress, you need a corresponding manicure.
It can be with hearts “a la Tiffany”, in oriental style or with rhinestones, rubbing, broths and so on. The main thing is not to forget about naturalness and avoid monumental structures on the nails, giving preference to simple, delicate compositions.
Dark turquoise manicure is decorated with white lace - painted or real. It is not only relevant, but also very elegant.
Tip: if the dress is white, you can cover your nails with milky varnish and decorate with turquoise rhinestones - it will turn out fresh and unusual for summer.
Turquoise manicure on short nails
Pastel shades of sea blue are an excellent choice for everyday manicure. They visually lengthen the nails, which is an important advantage. You can implement any turquoise manicure ideas, while avoiding:
- combinations with dark manicure colors;
- reverse French - it is suitable only for oblong-shaped nails;
- too complex design - it is better to highlight only the ring finger with rhinestones or a pattern;
- contrasting stripes in the middle of the nail plate;
- black “smile” in a colored jacket;
- Ombre, when closer to the edge of the nail the color becomes darker.
On short nails, “marble” nail art that imitates natural turquoise looks great. It is so unique that it does not require additional decor.
Advice: don’t get carried away with velvet sand; it’s better to leave it for isolated accents.
A soft turquoise manicure is preferable to a rich palette.
