However, in order for the design to be appropriate, it is necessary to have an idea of actual modes of fashion in the Neil-industry, because they say today that is suitable for a row. About how to emphasize your style expressively and status, this article will tell.
Color characteristics
Mint color is not universal, but it is quite multifaceted and includes a lot of tones in his palette. It is believed that the basic mint is a cold green color, similar to a saturated greenery. The main subtones of the mint are:
- gentle mint;
- light mint;
- gray-mint;
- Mint-turquoise;
- mint warm;
- Mint-green.
The main color is built on the balance of blue and green, of which the mint consists. Gentle Mint Subaton is the brightest of the entire line, it is a menthole shade, in color similar with a tone of pure tropical water. Light mint brighter gentle white on a couple of tones, a turquoise mint gives a blue, green green is dominated in mint-green. A grayish shade of a mint is one of the elite and muted, it is an excellent basis for contrasting patterns of light color.
Select form
Turquoise color is sufficiently gentle, it looks beautifully on the nails of different lengths and shapes. However, this does not mean that it will be perfect on the butterfly nails, which are distinguished by a large length and sharp edges. Such nails alone look somewhat aggressively, and besides, it is unacceptable, because it is natural in fashion today. According to the new Neil-industry trends, the form can be different: straight, elongated and almond-shaped, which will delight the fans of such a design of the nails.
There are limitations. For example, it is undesirable to cut flat and short nails directly or sharpen them, giving a almond form. Straight edges are good for beautiful nails of sufficient length.
If the nail plates are far from the oblong shape and flattened, to begin with, they need to grow, and then emphasize or the almond-shaped.
Varieties of lacquer products
Mint color today meets in the rules of each manufacturer of lacquer products. These are high-quality hybrid coatings, called gel varnishes due to the fact that they combine properties and gel, and varnish. These pigmented coatings are an order of magnitude differ from the obsolescents of ordinary varnishes, because with properly adherence to the manicure technique, they hold on to the nails to four weeks and more without the need for adjustment. Distinguishes these coating the fact that they need drying under a special (ultraviolet or LED) lamp.
Today, mint gel varnishes used for modern manicure are:
- matte;

- magnetic (with the effect of "feline eye");
- shimmer and glitter;
- pearls;

Each type of coating in mint tones has its own characteristics and differs outwardly. Among the large list of varieties, you can choose options for every taste and mood, which is convenient and significantly increases the number of age-related categories of women. For example, chameleons attract the attention of women by the fact that these coatings change color when touched with a certain light. Let's say one and the same mint color may be more green, then blue.
Holographic options or coatings with 3D effect are good for young people. They differ in different fractions of sparkling particles. At the same time, they are applied with just one layer, while the usual pigment paint the nails twice, avoiding the non-nail plate of the nail plate. Cracking varnishes - options with a steady texture. Today, they are equally in demand than shimmer analogues.
Among the shimmer coatings are remarkable options for mica resembling externally helium products for nail extensions. The line of such varnishes includes varieties with textures of frost and glitter. Analogs with jelly texture look unusual and fresh. Such coatings have a glossy texture type and translucent pigment base.

It reflects women of different age categories, makes refinement and tenderness to women. In order not to confuse different techniques of manicure, it is worth understanding the difference between them. In addition, today there are nuances in each technique, because fashion moods are changing with every new season.
Classic
Classic manicure is nothing but a monophonic design. In fact, it is coloring nails in one color throughout the area of the nail plate. At the same time, the classic design often provides for the decoration of the nail over the applied pigment layer. For this technique, coatings are used (including mirror, jelly and temperature). They are applied in two thin layers in order to avoid the shocking of the gel varnish for the side rollers and the skin in the Cuticula zone. So that the lacquer does not cake, after applying the pigment, give about one minute to spread, and then dried under the lamp and decorated.
Franch
Franch technique is based on focusing the upper edge of the nail plate. French manicure is made in two ways. When you first, it is painted on the classical technique, then the so-called "smile" is painted on top of it on top of it. When Franch does not have a painted base, it is performed on a transparent gel lacquer, pulling thin lines with mint color. Since today in trend asymmetric techniques and geometry, instead of the familiar smile, French can be denoted by a diagonal or a figure with a triangular shape inside.
Inverted Franch
This technique differs from the classic fact that the smile is painted in the growth zone of the cuticle. However, if earlier the smile itself was Tolstoy, today in priority designs with thin lines. In this case, the emphasis may not only be symmetrical: asymmetry is welcomed, as well as the drawing line almost to the top edge. Sometimes an inverted Franch is reminded by a thin line of nail. In addition, it is distinguished by french and sparkling decor. However, in this case, the elements are particularly careful that the design does not lose expressiveness from the abundance of shine.
Lunar
This technique is often confused with an inverted fries. In fact, there is a difference: the inverted French manicure has the cuticle zone accentuated by a thin strip. The lunar design indicates the base of the nail to the hole. At the same time, the lunar manicure, like Frenc, is often performed using the technique of a negative space. The well can be made by mint or contrasting his tint. Sometimes it is not painted at all, leaving transparent.
Gradient
Ombre technique is one of the best, which allows you to demonstrate a multifaceted mint shade. For it, several related gel varnish tones are used. This season, a mint gradient must be the most natural possible. Therefore, transitions from one shade to another should not be noticeable. Create such registration by means of a sponge or brush (each wizard has its own technique). The gradient is an excellent basis for decorating accent nails.
Broken glass
To date, this technique is the most popular and spectacular. Such a manicure is always noticed by a mass of enthusiastic views, he highlights a woman from the crowd.

The view of the design is satellite and trendy.
Veil

In mint tones, such design looks particularly gently, while creating it easier than simple. Transparent gel varnish mixed with several drops of mint pigment, achieving translucent texture. Such a coating is applied to the base layer, after which they are dried and decorated with acrylic paint into the tone of the pigmented varnish. Next nails cover the finish layer and dried under a special lamp.
Powder
This technique allows you to get a fairly spectacular and a bit volumetric coverage. Someone calls her "manna", someone "velvety".

Maty

If this option does not like, some women prefer to keep nails over the ferry, while the lacquer is not dry. There is a more progressive technique that allows you to create a high-quality and noble matte coating of nails. To achieve such an effect, it is enough to cover a glossy mint lacquer with a matte top.
