Often when creating a manicure, we are faced with the question: “Which color to choose”? And every girl chooses a shade for herself according to her taste or occasion. Conventionally, all shades of gel polishes can be divided into two categories: universal colors and other bright shades. A universal manicure is one that goes with almost any outfit - white, black, gray, red, beige and pastel. If you want to make a more complex design, choose a bright color scheme, but when combining colors, consider their undertones. Also, when choosing a color, you should pay attention to the length of the nails. You should not choose a bright color for a manicure on short nails; it is better to use lighter shades. Once you have decided on the color scheme, you can come up with a design. For ideas on beautiful manicures grouped by colors and seasons of the year, see the article.

Manicure colors by season
And here's the most interesting thing - a fashionable manicure that uses different bright colors. Each season of the year has its own range of colors. Nature itself tells us which shades will look harmonious in summer, autumn or spring. The variety of coatings and rich palettes of manufacturers allow you to create incredible combinations of shades in one design. Now it has become fashionable to use translucent gel polishes to achieve depth and simulate a 3D effect.
If you don’t have many shades of gel polishes in your collection, then you can use some tricks.
Tip 1: To create a translucent shade, dilute the gel polish on the palette with a few drops of base and mix well.
This creates the famous evening veil design. It was in demand last year, but many people still use it now. The design is good for autumn manicure or some special occasions.
Tip 2: To make a darker or lighter tone, also on the palette during the design process, mix white or black with the colored varnish.
This way you can bring to life the popular geometric gradient. In the process of applying the design, with each step, a drop or a couple of drops of white varnish is mixed into the base color.
Using these tricks, you can create more complex designs based on several colors.

The rule for combining colors in manicure
Nowadays, a combined design is in fashion, in which several tones of gel polishes are combined at once. To make your manicure look harmonious, you need to choose them correctly. When decorating your nails, use all colors with either cool or warm undertones. This is the main secret of successfully combining shades. The same rule is relevant when selecting shellac tones, when performing a manicure with a transition of colors. Gel polish manufacturers often indicate in the description which subtone a particular product belongs to. Even white has both cold and warm undertones.
