New waves in cosmetology

Finger-nail art is a new wave in cosmetology, which is becoming more and more popular. It is not as widespread as a regular manicure. Finger-nail art is not only for sophistication, but also for every-day wear.

Combination of colors

No matter if you want to apply just two different colors on your fingernails or you are going to create a masterpiece, you have to know which colors could be coordinated. There exist a special concept in chromatics , called “main colors”. There are four main colors: yellow, green, blue and red. The other tints are made by mixing the main colors and adding black or white if necessary. Different tints of gray, pale green and brown are called neutral.
If there are yellow or red in the color , this color is considered to be “warm”, but if there are green and blue it is “cold”. The colors of your manicure should be combined with the make-up color spectrum, or on contrary make a contrast. There exist some rules: these colors are always go well together: brown-golden-olive-green; beige-cream-brown; blue-white-red; black-white (with all bright tints like: turquoise, pink, orange)
With the help of this table you would define what colors could and could not be coordinated, but keep in mind that nowadays there is a tendency not to follow these rules, and you could just match the colors according to your own taste.

Choice of the fingernail-polish

You should choose a fingernail polish according to your skin color and the fingernail shape. People who belong to the spring or summer types are recommended to use all fingernail polishes with blue tints, for example azure. People with yellowish skin are recommended to use classical red or pink fingernail-polishes.
Fingernail shape also plays a great role. For instance, if you have long, almond- shaped fingernails you can use all strong tints and also dark, mat Fingernail polishes. If your fingernails have imperfections you should not use pearl fingernail polish, it will only exaggerate these imperfections. If you want to make your fingernails look longer you can use light, pearl tints.
