Every color has a mood associated with it and certain characteristics that can be spelled out with them. Fashion is an expressive field and these colors play an important role in fashion as well and act as an integral medium for expression. This is ‘the’ reason why these are as important when it comes to nail decoration. However, gone are the days when nail painting was only about a shade of color, today there is an elaborate art that has developed around this.
Pink is an epitome of feminine & soft making it a signature color of women the world over. The color has been a forever popular option when it comes to nail. Let’s see the various forms the color has taken in the world of nail art.
Classic Solids:
Pink nail art
Solid pink nails is another leaf in the classic fashion book if there exists one. These will never go out of vogue and this is a fact every fashionista can vouch for. The shades of pinks are many and every person might associate to one but not the other. Shocking pink is youthful and high on fun where as the pastels would only make an appearance when the trend takes over. The key to get this right is to wear the shade that speaks of you or atleast your mood.
Floral Pink Patterns:
Maybe there isn’t something like too feminine. These lovely curved flowers in pink created on the nails are vibrant where the options have been created with either different nail shapes, different shades of pink or pink combined with the parent color.
It might be a lot for some but the flower motif cannot be helped but be connected the this color.
The Balance:
The feminine character of the color is like a universal law today. Balancing this most evident characteristic are nails filed to steep sharp nails. This can be explained by assuming a color black instead where the meaning would just reduce to scary.
The floral pinks have been balanced ideally with these sharp nails and there is no other color that would do justice to this shape.
Textured:
Textured nails might not last for too long but they surely have an impact. The flowers created in three dimensions add a new dimension to the nail art we connect to as a flat art.
The other approach is to create a virtual texture with a myriad of colors that are in sync with the pink to keep up with the mood.
The D-I-Y
Except for the classic solid , every option above needs an artist to get it right, however here are few simple steps for you achieve your version of the nail art by yourself.
- To any such attempt the beginning always has to be in the prep. File the nails to the desired shape and follow the regular manicure routine.
- Begin by applying a base coat, which could range from a clear paint to any shade of pink in this case.
- Think of textures that can be easily created and achieved by you, try dots to start with. Dip a needle into a darker shade and apply it as polka dots.
- One can push their creative limits and use stencils, thread, jewel stickers or similar tit bits to come up with a form of nail in pink or for that matter any color!
The idea is to have fun with your and this form of it is a good way of doing so.
