The moon manicure returned to the pages of fashion magazines again. Its name is fraught with something tender, mysterious and romantic. How to make this magic manicure?
The moon manicure did not get its name in honor of the heavenly luminary, but in honor of the area of the nail on which it is performed. When performing it stands out, Lunula. Thanks to this, he becomes like an inverted French manicure. However, unlike the jacket, contrasting shades of varnishes are used here.
At first, the “Moon” exactly repeated the natural shape of the hole, but over time the stylists “turned” it. There is another popular interpretation of a newfangled manicure – a combination with French manicure. In this case, the lower and upper manicure should look at each other. Before applying varnishes, it is better to make a European or Japanese manicure. They will put the nails in order, and allow the varnish to go to bed beautifully and evenly.
What varnishes can be used in lunar manicure? The classic version involves the use of light varnishes: white or beige to cover the hole and contrasting colors: red or burgundy – to cover the rest of the nail. However, modern stylists suggest using the most unexpected shades:
– burgundy and silver;
– black and peach;
– black and silver;
– black and gold;
– purple and silver;
– purple and white;
– blue and gold;
– Chocolate and white.
Which varnish is better to use: matte or glossy? There are no restrictions here – you can use any varnish. You can also use both types of varnish at the same time.
For which nails the moon manicure is intended? Since the moon manicure visually shortens the nails, it is not suitable for all nails. Such a manicure will look best on long nails, although recently it began to be used on short nails. If long nails can be of any shape, then it is better to give an oval or rounded shape short.
A suitable manicure option can be selected by looking at the moon manicure photo. It will not be difficult to bring it to life.
