Where did Abstract manicure come from?
In manicure, the concept of abstractionism came from the world of fine art. Famous abstract artists included Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich. Abstractionists wanted to add novelty to classical fine art, which everyone was bored with and became too ordinary.
In their works they refused to depict pictures close to reality. Their goal was to create color combinations and geometric shapes that would evoke various associations in the observer. They certainly succeeded. Their paintings still evoke a storm of controversial emotions.
Abstract design in manicure is also created by masters from a combination of colors and various geometric elements: spots, dots, strokes, lines, curls, abstract faces and figures. This design will suit any look. It can be bright or subtle, on long or short nails, matched to an outfit or made in the trendy colors of the season.

To ensure that the varnish lasts a long time, we create a slight roughness on the surface of the nail with a fine-grained nail file. This must be done extremely carefully so as not to severely damage the nail plate. The French manicure itself is done using white, translucent pastel varnish and finishing varnish. The order of application of the first two coatings may vary. You can first paint the tips of your nails with a white shade, and then apply a pearlescent coating, or do the opposite.
