We all know which are the trendy colors this year, right?
The Marsala color
It is a combination between red and brown and I love it. Today I want to show you a nail art which is created with this color. Take a look:
Every nail decoration needs a good canvas in order to look properly. That’s why now we will start with preparing such a process. Soften the cuticles first with a deep moisturizer. Then exfoliate the nails with a hand scrub. You can also rub the nails with a wooden stick. This is necessary, because the cuticles grow along with the growing of the nails and they stick on the nail bed, which can ruin the nail art afterwards.
After everything is clean and smooth, you have to file the nails. Even if they look all right to you, you have to give them a little bit of trim in order to brighten the shape a little bit.
Before the application of the color, you have to apply to the nails a base coat. This transparent layer will protect the nails from yellowing. Dark colors like the Mascara one can cause yellowing of the nails. Also, the base coat can make it easier for you to remove the decoration afterwards.
- Now paint the nails with the Marsala color. Apply two layers. The second layer brings out the best shade of the color. My manicurist told me so.
- Now comes the step where we will make the decoration of this nail art – a football decoration.
- You will need a small dotting tool or the head of a pin. Pour one drop of the Marsala color on smooth surface and dip the dotting tool in that drop, then dot on the whole nail with small dots.
- Draw the white lines of the ball with a drawing brush.
- Lock the decoration when the details are dry with a thick layer of top coat.
Done!
Trendy Colors This Year
Wait for your paycheck and hit the stores for the new trendy colors. If you want to save some money for the so-wanted-trip you can make that transition from winter to spring trends by the accessories and the colors. Don’t spend money on jackets, jeans and shoes. Go for the less expensive stuff like scarfs, bags, necklaces, tops and some jewelry.
But there is another really budget-friendly way to be trendy and up-to-date with your look – the nail art. The nail polish bottles will cost you no more than $10 and I’m sure that you have the basic tools and products, which are needed for a nail decoration – base coat, top coat, drawing brush and nail file. Alongside with these tools and products you will need also: pumpkin and brown nail polish, golden glitter nail polish and tape decorating strips or regular office tape. Let’s get started:
- File your nail into a square short shape.
- Then apply a primer – base coat or any kind of transparent nail polish. You can even use a nail strengthener as a primer or your top coat. The basic rule is to apply a thin layer of colorless nail polish in order to protect the nail from the colorful nail polishes.
- Then apply the base color – the pumpkin nail polish. If you are not satisfied with the coverage, just apply another layer. Wait for those layers to dry out completely.
- Now apply the tape in order to create a triangle shape at the bottom of the nail. Paint the tip area with the brown nail polish. Wait a few seconds and remove carefully the tape with tweezers.
- Then apply thin, golden lines at the borders between the two colors. Use thin drawing brush for easier work.
- Lock the decoration with a top coat.
