Men will never be able to understand how important a role her manicure can play in the life of any woman! Girls understand that sometimes it is because of the manicure that you can feel discomfort even if the rest of the image is impeccable and perfect. For example, imagine you are going to some kind of celebration. You have absolutely everything ready. You have decided on choosing a hairstyle for yourself. We agreed with our master on a certain makeup. We picked out a red evening dress and shoes to go with it! Even the clutch is already waiting to be released, but here’s the problem - you still can’t decide on the most suitable manicure for such a dress. If you really have this problem often, then you need to quickly find out what ways it can be solved. So, what manicure goes with a red dress?
Classic one tone
Sometimes girls really don't even have to make anything up. The best manicure option for a red dress would be a plain red manicure! The main thing here is not to make a mistake with the tone of red.
But there is nothing complicated about this either! You should look for the shade that is closest to your dress. At first glance, this manicure option may seem very ordinary, but sometimes in order to achieve the real beauty of the image and its sophistication, you should not resort to excess. The same applies to a scarlet manicure under a red dress. Only in this case the problem may be that the manicure must be absolutely perfect. This means that there should not be any extra bumps or scrapings on it.
In order to get a truly perfect manicure, you should play it safe and not create your own manicure using quick-drying varnish, but seek the help of a professional. An even, flawless, monochromatic coating of gel polish is a great idea for a manicure to match a red dress!
When choosing a polish, be sure to consider your skin color
- pink is suitable for fair-skinned girls;
- beige looks great on hands with medium skin tone;
- coffee will highlight the charm of dark-skinned beauties.
These principles of a harmonious combination of shades of clothing and manicure do not hinder every woman from understanding and navigating.
But they should be strictly adhered to with a certain degree of conditionality. No one can limit your imagination and force you to strictly adhere to the laws established by someone else.
The most important thing is that you feel natural and comfortable in the image you created. In the end, there are always those who dictate the rules and those who follow them. And who said that you must join the second group? Perhaps your version of combining something hitherto incompatible will become a fresh word in nail design in the coming years and mark the beginning of a new trend in the changing world of fashion?
Search, dare, experiment and don’t be afraid to disagree with the opinions of authorities. You are the one and only! Always remember this.
Classic French
This is a classic manicure that will suit absolutely any dress (and not only). But the difficulties with it are exactly the same as with the previous version of the manicure for a red dress. It is necessary to make your manicure absolutely perfect and eliminate all unwanted troubles that may happen to it before the long-awaited holiday. And this also means that it is best to turn to a professional manicure for help and get your manicure done using gel polish, which will probably not have any cracks or scrapes until the very beginning of the holiday.
Features of choice
When choosing a nail design, first of all, you need to focus on the features of the future look, the theme of the event and internal sensations
With the help of a manicure, you can give the image the right mood, highlight what you want, emphasize something, and even distract attention from some details. All this is possible only thanks to a successful manicure, the right shade and a well-chosen design.
Everyone can learn this art.
Such clothes miraculously embody moderate brightness, expressiveness, elegance and femininity. In a green dress you can attend a business meeting, go on a date or a walk surrounded by friends, even at a festive dinner or event it will be appropriate. And it’s the nails, carefully selected to match the outfit, that will complete the look and set the right accents.
Ombre manicure
A smooth transition from red to black, or to black with sparkles. This manicure looks quite impressive. An excellent manicure option for brunettes to match a red dress. These nails are best suited if a girl is planning to dress up in a Gothic style, or intends to get used to the image of a social beauty and seductress. In short, this nail design for a red dress will suit strong and courageous girls.
How not to make a mistake when choosing a color
The most dangerous colors to use are poisonous colors. Most likely they will look defiant and funny. Therefore, it is better to avoid them both in clothing or accessories, and in manicure. In addition, when choosing a nail design to match a pink dress, you should remember that the total number of colors in the image cannot be more than three (one is basic, two are accent).
If the color of the dress is not bright, and the style is strict, then the manicure should be appropriate. In this case, it is recommended to use varnishes of restrained shades, applying them in 1-2 layers (no more). A win-win option would be:
- transparent coating;
- French in pink version;
- flesh-colored texture.
Another way to add restraint is to combine the base color with gray. If we are talking about preparing for a romantic evening meeting, then you can apply a black lace pattern or special ribbons for nail design over the background pink tone.
Gradient manicure
This is almost the same version of ombre, but in this case, the red color does not necessarily have to turn into black. The second selected gradient color can be any color you like that will go with red. For example, it could be gold, purple or fuchsia.
This manicure will work best with a red dress if your dress is not a single color. For example, it has some kind of golden trim or a pattern made in some other color. If there are no such details on your outfit, then experimenting with a gradient is not at all recommended. Otherwise, your image with incompatible colors may look very unfavorable.
A color scheme
You can use a simple rule: if it is not clear what to combine a color with, then use monochrome - gray, white, black, beige. This is a win-win, but boring way out. Unusual duets look much more interesting.
Red
A very popular color, but it is extremely difficult to combine and it is very easy to ruin your manicure. The combination largely depends on temperature and saturation.
What is red?
- Classical. In manicure it can easily be combined with yellow, blue, brown and brown.
- Cherry. It is well emphasized by all shades of sand, peach, light orange, azure varnishes.
- Raspberries. Doesn't like mixing, but goes well with black, white, and can be used with a classic rose.
Pink
If it is a nude tone, then it will easily fit into almost any color scheme and will “calm down” an overly bright manicure. It is much more difficult to choose companions for pure, rich tones.
What is pink?
- Classic, clean. Goes great with coffee, olive, blue and gray, delicate mint.
- Bright rose, dark pink, fuchsia. Yellow, lime, chocolate, delicate mint, light turquoise are suitable.
Bright pink or “barbie” is the most capricious color, as it requires perfect skin and highlights imperfections.
Yellow
The most controversial combinations in manicure and clothing are associated with the color yellow.
What is yellow?
- Classic, bright. Pairs perfectly with blue, black, violet, lilac, blue. Looks impressive with black, graphite, wet asphalt.
- Delicate lemon, with a greenish undertone. Ideal to make friends with ripe cherries, blue, gray shades, milk chocolate.
Lilac
Often used in summer manicure, it highlights tanned skin well, masks imperfections, and draws attention to itself. Goes great with a nude palette and monochrome
What kind of lilac is there:
- Delicate, light, like a lilac flower. Makes friends with delicate rose, mint, menthol, looks interesting with yellow shades.
- Bright lilac. Can be combined with delicate lilac, blue, azure, classic rose, silver.
Black
Black varnish is elegant, versatile, goes well with all calm, bright, shiny and matte varnishes. It’s hard to make a mistake here, but there are duets that will decorate any hands.
What colors to add to a black manicure:
- red;
- yellow;
- lilac;
- orange;
- salad.
If you need something calm, discreet, then you can cover several nails with white or gray varnish.
Peach
Peach belongs to the nude group, but it is very difficult to combine. The color is delicate, warm, and often doesn’t show your hands in the best light.
What shades to combine peach with:
- blue;
- emerald;
- chocolate;
- grey;
- red.
You should absolutely not combine peach with pink, lilac, yellow, and beige flowers, even though they are very close in the palette.
Lunar manicure
Probably all lovers of red dresses should know the absolutely perfect manicure of Dita von Teese - a red manicure with holes. It looks much more interesting than the “one-tone classic”, but at the same time, there is absolutely nothing superfluous in it. And for this reason alone it is ideal. For girls who like more pronounced “zest” in their image, there is an option to complement this manicure with designs on one of the nails. But just let it be a light web of the same scarlet lace. Speaking of which, lace! It's time to talk about them too!
Manicure with lace
Everyone always associates lace with something beautiful, sophisticated and expensive. And it’s not in vain! This is because previously only those beauties whose condition could be envied could afford clothes with any kind of lace.
If you want to look luxurious in a secular way, then a manicure for a red dress with lace is suitable for you. But it’s also important not to overdo it, because absolutely everything needs moderation. A light lace pattern can be applied to any one or two nails of each hand. It is preferable to choose black or white lace color.
Manicure with rhinestones
Nails for a red dress can be decorated with attention-grabbing rhinestones. This option is especially suitable for you if you have to shine at some very special occasion (someone's wedding, anniversary, etc.).
If you are attending some social event, the main thing is also not to overdo it with this very gloss. Rhinestones will look best on a red matte background. The dullness of the colors immediately makes the appearance of this color several times more expensive.
Print or design on nails
“One-tone classics” can easily be complemented with drawings or prints on one or several nails. If you choose this option, then it is not even necessary to use red as the background for your drawing.
It can be white, black or any other that matches the red color, as well as the most important detail of the image (handbag, shoes, jewelry, etc.). A red manicure with a pattern of a red poppy, roses or green spruce branches looks great (probably the most profitable option if you are preparing to celebrate the New Year).
Makeup
Lips like in the 90s
Judging by the current Pinterest report, the trend for make-up like in the 90s will carry over into 2021. Another “old new” trend born in the 90s is an expressive lip contour, noticeably outlined with a pencil. In recent months, Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian have tried on this type of makeup. We'll try it soon too.
Space makeup
If experiments in the style of “Euphoria” are not enough for you, pay attention to Planet makeup. According to Pinterest, searches for space-inspired makeup are up 217% in 2022.
It is not necessary to draw planets and constellations, as beauty bloggers do: for starters, you can limit yourself to purple lipstick or silver glitter on your eyes.
Blue color
Classic blue, the color of 2022 according to the Pantone Institute, is one of the top shades in current makeup. To stay on top of the trends, try integrating it into your New Year's Eve look: wear dark blue lipstick, use blue eyeliner and choose a blue nail polish.
Men's makeup
Brands continue to blur the boundaries in makeup. Givenchy, Chanel, MAC and Tom Ford produce makeup products that are positioned as masculine or gender-neutral, while Maybelline New York and Covergirl attract male bloggers to collaborate.
Color blocking
jennynails
Makeup, which was popular in the 80s, has gained a foothold in 2022. A make-up called Color block, combining two or more contrasting colors, has made its mark on many fashion shows this year.
Feather design
Do you want to get the image of a beautiful bird? Add airiness to your manicure by complementing the red classic with black or white feather designs. Remember the measure, and then your image will certainly not only not go unnoticed, but also not receive any disapproving glances or reviews.
And, of course, don’t forget about the health of your nails! If you still have enough time, take care of their appearance and intensive recovery. Cover the nail plate with restorative oils, take care of the skin of your hands, and don’t forget about the cuticles. Always remember that the main guarantee of a good manicure is the health of your nails!
