Design ideas
Standard shades of rubbing in themselves already look original and impressive, even on simple plain varnishes. However, there are interesting decor options that can be useful for various looks and events.
- Holographic rainbow rub . Bright iridescent shimmers look great both on dark surfaces and on lighter backgrounds. This powder can revive even the most boring color. In some cases, it is enough to decorate one nail, and the pedicure becomes festive.
- Northern lights on gray . The design is similar to holography, but has a softer sheen, while maintaining multi-color. The option is suitable for various tones, but recent trends highlight gray as a universal color suitable for everyday life. The muted northern lights will not look provocative, even if you are wearing open shoes at an office job.
- Mirror rubbing . A bold option with a metallic finish and a variety of colors. The classics have been in fashion for a long time - silver, gold and bronze. The combination of these shades with full reflective ability is well suited for a holiday or an evening out.

- Coated with white varnish . A snow-white pedicure in combination with pearl shine looks very gentle and harmonious. The degree of saturation of the ebb can be any. Even with a minimal amount of rubbing, the white base will look new.
- Pastel shades . Using muted light shades as a base along with shimmering powder allows you to make your pedicure more noticeable. Among pastel colors, pale pink and blue have proven themselves well.
- Dark color scheme . Deep dark shades are usually combined with silver glitter, gold rub and mirror effect. The powder looks beautiful on a black, dark blue, purple and dark green background.
- Combination with rhinestones . The rub harmonizes perfectly with the design of pebbles. Usually, only the nail hole is highlighted with rhinestones or only one nail plate is decorated with them.
