Good evening.~
I want to talk about nail art today. One of the rituals to welcome spring is to change the color of the spring nail art.
I especially enjoy applying nail polish at home, super decompressing! Friends come to my house to play, and one of our favorite things to do is to apply nail polish together while chatting. However, because my hands are not very good-looking, I rarely take nail art pictures...
Most of the friends in the studio are girls, and there are few who do not like to do nail art. It is said that on the last working day before our New Year last year, many people spent it in nail art. At that time, there was also a weibo post. ▼
Spring has arrived, and many friends have also changed into super gentle nail art styles.
Meng Ling in the video group recently made a jump color, green and white, energetic and refreshing. ▼
Lyrin of the brand department's newly made green gentle temperament, saw the same color car on the road, and immediately took a picture. ▼
Xiao Yu is even more powerful, she is the nail art master in our studio. After learning how to do nail art, from time to time you can see her in the studio for free to help everyone do haha. These are her works. ▼
The lavender she made some time ago was purple, which was a romantic spring scent. ▼
Of course, in addition to these beautiful pictures, we also have a lot of rollover experience and accumulate a lot of lessons in nail art.
Today I collect some of the most common confusions that everyone encounters when doing nail art: I don't know what color to choose, I don't know how to paint at home... Let's take a look at how to solve it:
P.S. The pictures we took ourselves are all marked, and the other pictures are all net pictures Oh~
(Example: This article does not contain any commercial soft implants)
What are the nail colors suitable for work painting?
There are many kinds of nail art styles, and our company has no requirements for this aspect, so there are also people who do very exaggerated European and American long nails. But if you're looking for some of the more everyday, low-key, commuting nail art styles, I would also recommend the following:
Solid color version
Solid color is the most everyday, if the pursuit is a natural, non-obvious effect, but also quite recommended nude color, is a very temperamental color. ▼
Although they are all called nude colors, they can be divided into too many kinds, there are yellow, gray, white, pink... The color is a little bit worse, and the feeling is different.
The following can be classified as nude colors▼
If you are worried about applying nude color and blackening, it is recommended to start with ice through nude pink.
The ice translucent color is coated with a translucent texture, unlike the solid color that completely covers the armor. However, its degree of coverage can be superimposed according to the number of layers applied.
It looks like your fingers are really natural, as if your native fingernails are so pink. ▼
Creamy white is also highly recommended. It has its own sense of luxury when you get started, and it is also very versatile, and it looks good with any color of clothes.
Little tip: Warm white is better to control than cold white! ▼
If your company doesn't have any requirements for nail color, you may wish to change the color of spring
Like goose yellow, baby blue, bean green, etc., are very small and fresh. ▼
In particular, the various greens are really suitable for the feeling of spring painting ~ vitality. Many friends in the studio have changed it. Joey's sister painted it before▼
It can be a single color of the whole hand, or you can try the jump color, which is more watchable, but also more test of the color matching ability.
The practice of not stepping on the thunder is to choose two colors of the same color or contrast color, with white. ▼
The practice of one hand and one color is also very popular, Zhou Yutong has done gold + black before, super cool. ▼
To look more harmonious, it is best to have similar shades of color on both hands, such as Morandi with a slight gray tone, or both light and bright macarons. ▼
French manicure
French manicure is really a style that is not outdated no matter how many years it has been. And it is not very picky of the armor type, just need to adjust the arc according to the armor type.
In terms of color, the most classic is the white French edge. ▼
If you prefer to be lively, you can also change it to color. ▼
An Yuzhen's previous shooting magazine this nude color base + red French side of the "lipstick" nail art is still quite popular, many friends in the studio have joined the list to be done. ▼
Shi Han of the Flower World has rushed to do the same model, and she is quite satisfied with this effect. ▼
Metallic French is also very popular, cool, very advanced, obvious texture. ▼
It can also be simply made into a contrast color. ▼
French nail art mixed with solid colors will make nails look more airy. ▼
However, when practicing nail art, there is one thing to pay attention to: the width of the French edge needs to be adjusted according to the length of the nail bed.
For example, the french edge width of the following two sheets is similar, but placed on the hands of people with shorter nails, it will be a bit "eating hand length". ▼
Slightly narrower sides will look more harmonious. Can be compared, in the case of similar nail length, is the right side more slender? ▼
If the color wants to be wider, this round French style will be more suitable for short nails, but cute and cute ~ but it is also easy to be mistaken for nails growing out (don't ask me how I know). ▼
French nail art now has many derivatives, such as the ability to draw patterns on colors (many people like to draw chessboards), or drawing lines irregular, etc., which will make simple French more special. ▼
Blush nail art
Blush nail art has been particularly hot in the past two years, like the nails revealing a shy red halo, very sweet and very girly (but some people say that it is like the hand is clipped by the door, internal bleeding). ▼
Many people in the studio have done it, Sydney of the Ministry of Commerce
The more popular style is to wear a colored French edge, which is more energetic ~ ▼
However, when doing blush nail art, the background color is best to choose an ice transparent color that is closer to the color of the nail, and the transition with a little pink tone will be more natural and look more cute.
If the background color is too white and too solid, it will be less harmonious and more provocative. ▼
Put together to compare, is the difference still quite obvious? On the left is a white background, and on the right is a nude transparent background that is closer to the skin tone. ▼
Gradient nail art
The gradient nail art of nude pink, like the blush nail art, also belongs to the style that is not obvious, but it is very "visible", which is very suitable for office workers. ▼
Many female celebrities have done this, low-key and pink. Zhou also ▼
And it is a nail art that can last a long time, even if the nails are long, it will not be particularly embarrassing. Meow left this for more than a month. ▼
You can also do some colored gradients, and the porridge of the life number has been made a green gradient, very spring. ▼
It doesn't have to be a transition from fingertip to base, it can also be a lateral gradient. ▼
But if the color of the gradient is not selected well, or if the transition is not natural enough, it will also roll over...
A similar model made by the "supermodel" Hanshi of the bag number has been laughed at for a long time by us, and this transition is simply not too casual (pay attention to the ring finger).
She said that she had paid for it, felt that she had been wronged, and did not bear it for a few days and rushed to unload it. ▼
In addition to the two-color gradient, some multi-color gradients are also quite beautiful and dreamy, provided that the color scheme is good. ▼
Why are you doing nail art that is not as good looking as others?
I often hear people say that the nail art style you want to do and the nail art you make yourself are completely different things.
Although the seller's show adds filters, or the manicurist's color adjustment is not correct, it will have an impact on the final effect, but it may also be caused by our own nail shape, skin tone, and the selected style.
Hand condition is not good
Jenny often wears her own nail polish at home, but she says that because she has too much dead skin on her hands, the effect of the painting is not too good.
In fact, in addition to the conventional nail clippers, you can also prepare some tools to repair dead skin at home, the most basic only need steel push and dead skin scissors, plus a bottle of dead skin softener is enough.
Look at the hand after repairing the dead skin and nail shape, even if you don't do the style, has the appearance also improved a lot? ▼
(Shot at different time points, the light is not the same)
There are also some friends who have a bad habit of nibbling nails, nail potholes, and direct color is of course not good. However, because the armor is too short and difficult to trim, the recommendation is to do a little extension and construction (the construction can make the armor stronger, but also improve the curvature of the nail surface, so that the nail surface is rounded and full).
After the construction, the effect is like a new life~ ~▼
There are also some people whose nails are upturned, and they can also be constructed and reshaped to get a full nail shape.
The nail bed is too small and too short, and the style chosen is not suitable for you.
If the nail bed is too short and too small, and you don't want to extend it, some complex styles are not very suitable for doing.
For example, a lot of color smudging, or to paste a lot of jewelry style, because the area is not large enough, can not be achieved or made to the effect is not good.
What kind of nails count as short nails? Liu Yuxin is. Some time ago, the nail art she did was on the hot search, and many people said that they seemed to see their nails. ▼
Assistant Chick 66's bed is also very short, comparing the hands of her and other colleagues. ▼
Compared with the temperament type, the short armor is more suitable for taking the cute route. For example, some simple line clauses. ▼
You can use nude color as a base, and then draw a few colored lines, Tae Yeon this is quite playful. ▼
You can also click a few small dots at will. Brushed up on a very cute mother-daughter photo ~▼
Some simple hand-drawn drawings can also be achieved. Hyuna's small flower nail art also has her personal characteristics. ▼
If you want to do it yourself at home, and worry about your own painting is not good, now there are a lot of nail stickers on the Internet to sell, there are many style patterns, after applying the oil directly to the nails, it is very suitable for the handbags! ▼
Some colors are more skin color-picking, and if the hands are darker, they will not look good
If the skin color of the hands is relatively dark, and you want to have a white effect after the nails, then the brighter macaron color or fluorescent color, it is best to take a detour. ▼
The matte nail art looks quite high-grade, but it is not very skin color.
Relatively speaking, darker colors are more friendly to yellow and black skin. Little Jenny this ice-clear black tea color belongs to the category that does not show the black hand and does not show the white hand. ▼
Burgundy, dark green, and dark blue are all whites that are highly recommended by the little black hands in our studio.
Esther and Xiao Jia of the flower world because their hands are relatively black, and they always have to struggle with the color when making nails, and these colors are the whitest they try.

How can I apply nail polish myself more evenly and longer?
Now there are not many people who will also apply nail polish at home, but often encounter the situation that the paint has not dried thoroughly, or it has fallen off after a few days of application, to share a few tips:
Apply a small amount multiple times.
Apply nail polish must be done in small quantities and many times, each time thinly, and after applying one layer almost dry, go to the second layer. Do not apply too thick at once, it is easy to produce bubbles, and it is difficult to dry thoroughly.
Therefore, the amount of nail polish taken each time should not be too much, and the nail polish on one side of the bottle can be scraped off before applying. ▼
The technique of applying nail polish is important.
When applying nail polish, the first stroke is usually applied to the middle, and then one to the left and right. Brush in one direction, uneven places can be quickly taken over, do not brush back and forth repeatedly. It doesn't matter if the first layer is not evenly coated, it will be even if it is applied in two more layers.
If you are not skilled, the brush head should not be next to the finger edge at the beginning, you can leave a little distance, and then slowly push forward. ▼
Apply primer and top oil.
If you want nail polish to last longer, you can use alcohol pads to wipe off the oil and dust on the surface of your nails before applying.
If you have time, you can also use the rubbing strip to polish the nail surface first and then rub it, and then apply nail polish, which will be more firm. ▼
After applying the color, apply another layer of transparent top oil, the nail polish will be more durable. Joey's sister said she didn't put on the top oil, and the next day she started bumping and bumping, and it lasted about two weeks.
And sometimes the nail polish is not smooth enough, and after the top oil is applied, it will instantly become much flatter.
The painting technique is the same, remember to wrap the edge. ▼
Nail polish tips to share here, if you like to do nail art, change styles are also very frequent, in fact, you can spend hundreds of dollars to invest in a set of nail polish glue nail art tools.
Compared with nail polish, nail polish glue does not need to wait that long, and it can be dried in tens of seconds to a few minutes when the lamp is illuminated, and there is no need to worry about being touched when it is dry. It is also more persistent, basically as long as you hold back and don't let go, you can keep it for a month or two.
Rebecca's words:
Well, that's it for today
