Photos of nails with multi-colored manicure are captivating and make you want to experiment. A gradient looks very good on well-groomed nails. There are several ways to create it.

If you mix, for example, green with red, you get mud. Now you need to take a piece of sponge, dip it in the mixed varnish and stamp it on the nail. And make sure that the color border on all fingers is located approximately at the same level. Carefully remove any remaining polish from the leather. A top coat will help secure the result.

The popular French design technique has the unique ability to look chic not only in classic French shades. This season, the tip of the nail can be decorated in deep, rich colors, such as burgundy, blue or even black. Green, light green, pink or blue variations of smiles look no less original. At the same time, the base can remain transparent or be decorated just as brightly. In such a design, the edge of the nail plate looks much more expressive and non-standard design of the smile line is only welcome. Make the French triangular or double and your manicure will sparkle with new colors. Additionally, you can use pieces of foil, glitter or colored rhinestones to decorate your nails.

To create a bright and unusual manicure that will not leave your hands without admiring glances, we invite readers today to pay attention to the original idea of decorating nails with abstract patterns. A wide selection of varnish shades will only contribute to the fulfillment of the plan. You can highlight a couple of nails with bright strokes, colorful splashes or drips. Combined designs look original in this direction, when stripes and graphic patterns are interestingly combined on one nail plate. You can also design a similar idea using shiny accents, such as foil or glitter, which can act as a beautiful base or take part in the formation of the most abstract image.
With an image

The use of fine acrylic powder in manicure can revive any shade of coating and complement the design with magical notes.
