In 2019, pearl manicure retains its position as one of the most current options for designing brides’ nails. Those who don’t want to do a typical French manicure and consider it a banal solution may like the delicate and modest pearlescent coating - a win-win solution for a chic wedding manicure. However, attempts are being made to expand the boundaries of the use of such varnish.

• Thus, at the Kate Spade New York show, the models had pearl manicures in the literal sense of the word - a pink coating with a minimalist striped design was complemented by the final touch in the form of a small pearl sticker.
• In preparation for the Oscar de la Renta and Rebecca Minkoff show, the approach was different, not so literal: a pearlescent effect varnish was applied to the nails, and in the second case it was combined with a “cream” varnish, without shimmering particles in the composition.

If on the catwalk there are only hints that manicures in pearl tones are coming back into fashion, then there is much more evidence online: bloggers and beauty gurus publish corresponding photos quite often.

Pearl-colored manicure on short nails

They are made for each other. The result is a modest and delicate nail design in a casual style. At the same time, in the case of pearl-colored varnish in a manicure, you need to be more careful than usual: any contact with the cuticle spoils the impression, since pearlescent blots are especially noticeable and look “dirty” on the skin. A perfectly smooth contour is the only possible option for a pearl effect coating.

• You also need to take into account the fact that such varnishes are difficult to combine with anything else; it is better to give preference to a monochrome coating. If you use these products in design, then it is better to combine them not with classic varnishes with a glossy “finish”, but with. The contrast of textures looks really expressive. Matte can be stripes painted on a mother-of-pearl background, or, for example, color blocks in contact with each other.
• Short nails are also a good “canvas” for a pearl manicure with a design that imitates a French manicure. It’s just that it’s unlikely to be possible to do it with varnishes. You will need rubbing powder - white and soft pink shades. Manicurists combine them in such a way that the result is something like a French manicure with a soft transition from one color to another. The result not only looks beautiful, but also visually stretches the nails. And the fingers seem thinner and more graceful.

Manicure in pearl tones on long nails

Long nails are a bright and noticeable detail of appearance. If you paint them with pearl varnish, it will most likely look faded, even if you apply it in two layers. And here the rubbing powder will also be the most correct choice - it will help to achieve the “density” of color necessary to properly emphasize the length and shape of the nails.

Pearl nails, if the design is created using the rubbing technique, do not require any additions - the coating will already attract attention. This is especially true for manicures, in which, instead of the classic “white pearl”, other shades are used: pistachio, blue, lilac, coral.

• By the way, pay attention to the rubbing powder with the effect of black pearls. The dark color looks very noble (this is easy to see if you look at the photos of such manicures published by nail bloggers and popular nail artists). You can also decorate only part of the nails with a black pearl coating, and decorate the rest with lighter shades; the result will be no less elegant.

Manicure with rhinestones

Pearl manicure with rhinestones or crystals looks chic in any situation. Exquisite and luxurious design - shining crystals on a mother-of-pearl finish.

Since ancient times, jewelry masters have tried to find a way to create crystals from glass that look like precious ones. They succeeded only in the 18th century, when Georg Strass was able to obtain potassium glass with a high lead content in the composition. It was this heavy metal that made it possible to achieve beautiful color tints when light hit the edges of the crystal. But the most widespread were colorless stones, similar to diamonds, invented by Strass. The combination of rhinestones and pearl dust is most relevant for formal and evening looks. The main thing is to know when to stop when decorating.

Pearlescent manicure according to Feng Shui

You can't argue with the beauty of pearl nail polish, but some people think this design looks too flashy for everyday use. In this case, you can cover not all nails with pigment, but only one or two. It will look original and not at all pretentious. If the manicure is done in light shades, then you can do the opposite: make one or two nails accentuated using a matte finish or special sliders to match, and cover the rest with pigment to achieve the effect of the northern lights.

For a long time, pearl manicure was considered outdated and associated with cheap varnishes from underground passages. However, today pearl shimmers on nails are back in fashion. Such textures are produced by different cosmetic brands; choosing the right shade is easy. To achieve success, you will have to learn how to carefully apply the coating, because any streaks or streaks are noticeable on mother-of-pearl.

Selection of fashionable mother-of-pearl shades

Today, mother-of-pearl nails in delicate pastel colors are especially relevant: pale blue, pink, golden, cream. Pure white polish with a slight metallic sheen also looks impressive; it is especially beautiful on tanned hands. Enamels in lilac, turquoise, lilac, lemon yellow or mint green tones harmoniously combine with pale skin. They all look very gentle and unobtrusive; even the brightest color is softened by the addition of pearlescent pigment. Additional nail design is not required, but some decorative elements will be quite appropriate.

Light pastel polishes are suitable for spring and summer. In the autumn-winter period, the time comes for more saturated shades: black-gray, deep blue, emerald green, crimson, warm red. An unusual option is bright pink or cyclamen varnish, but it is suitable only for the most daring. The chosen color can be combined with gold or silver; this duet is especially good for a festive manicure.

Nails coated with pearlescent varnish are suitable for business attire and evening wear. They do not require additional decorations; pearl shimmers are beautiful in themselves. If desired, varnishes can be combined with matte, glossy textures containing small golden or silver glitter.

Rules for preparing nails

Before you paint your nails with pearlescent polish, you need to carefully prepare them. The pearl coating mercilessly highlights even minor defects: nicks, roughness, scratches. Thorough polishing of your nails will help get rid of them.

1. For manual processing, nail buffs with very fine grains are used; machines for home manicure are also suitable. First, the surface is leveled with a cylindrical nozzle, which carefully removes the upper stratum corneum, then it is brought to perfection using a soft cone made of dense felt. This treatment does not damage the surface, guaranteeing impeccable smoothness.
2. The nails are given the desired shape. Round or slightly pointed nails, reminiscent of tonsils, go well with pearlescent coating. You can shape them using a delicate glass or ceramic file that does not separate the ends. The plates must be the same length. It depends on personal taste; pearl shimmers are equally beautiful on both long and short nails.
3. Manicure completes the treatment of the cuticle. A liquid or gel with fruit acids is applied to it, after 30-60 seconds the softened skin is pushed away with a wooden stick. If the cuticle is too overgrown, it is carefully cut off with nail scissors or nippers. A pearlescent finish requires perfect nail appearance; excess skin at the base looks very untidy.
4. After treatment, the nail plates are covered with 2 layers of a leveling protective base. The varnish will lie perfectly even on top of it. You need to apply pearlescent polish on your nails very carefully in thin and even layers. For a flawless manicure you will need 3 or even 4 approaches. Only then will your nails look perfect and resemble real pearls.

Subtleties of applying varnish

To accurately distribute the varnish, you need to dip the brush into the bottle and then place it in the center of the plate. First, the brush moves to the cuticle, carefully outlining it, then moves to the tips of the plates. Movements should be smooth, without unnecessary pressure. The first layer dries very quickly, the second is applied on top of it. The ends of the nails are carefully painted with the very tip of the brush with a small amount of varnish. Some varnishes have a very fine texture and can be applied in 3-4 layers.

If your nails are narrow and long, you can cover them completely with varnish, making 3 broad strokes: in the middle, left and right. It is better to paint wide and short plates with a slight indentation on the sides - this will make the fingers look more graceful. Accidental smudges are erased with a special pencil or a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover.

Most often, the plates are painted in one color, for example, white, lilac or pink. You can try a fashionable gradient on your nails by applying several shades of the same color on them, from the most saturated to the paler. This nail design is suitable for a party or relaxing on the beach, this technique can also be used in a pedicure. For everyday wear, a calmer color, combined with the main range of the wardrobe, is suitable. Shades that replicate the shimmer of natural pearls look very stylish: grayish, soft pink, soft brown, peach, white.

Varnishes with mother-of-pearl quickly wear off and chip. A thick layer of transparent top will help preserve the beauty of your manicure. It is applied to a completely dry coating, otherwise the brush will leave unsightly stripes and stains. For those who love an unusual manicure, you can try a matte top coat; it will dull the shine of your nails, but will not hide the delicate pearly beauty of the coating. You need to refresh the top coat every 2 days to maintain a flawless manicure. You can see some great designs in the photo.

Additional decorations

Nail design doesn't have to be too complicated. There are a lot of ideas on how to make a stylish mother-of-pearl manicure yourself. You can complement the delicate pearlescent shine with artificial pearls attached to a drop of glue. They border the cuticle line on several nails; it is not necessary to decorate all the plates. Small sparkling rhinestones, transparent or painted, also look beautiful. However, you shouldn’t get carried away with decor. It is good for a festive manicure; on weekdays, stones, pearls and rhinestones look too provocative.

A bright and bold option is nail piercing. The plate is drilled with a special tool and a small decoration is inserted that is in harmony with the style of the outfit. Ready-made decorative elements can be purchased in specialized stores. Jewelry made of silver metal is suitable for mother-of-pearl: flowers, hearts, stars, animal figures, thin chains.

Nails coated with pearl varnish can be decorated with painting. Stylized curls made with thick enamel in white or another light shade look impressive. It is better to place the drawing on fairly long plates, placing it vertically or diagonally. This technique visually stretches the nails and makes them more graceful. It is worth decorating 1-2 fingers on each hand. For those who do not know how to draw, ready-made paper stencils will be useful.

Pearlescent nail polish is back in fashion. Those who have not yet tried the variety of pearl shades should try on the most current colors; among them there will certainly be an ideal option. Correctly selected shades will draw attention to beautiful hands and make the image romantic and feminine.

Beautiful and well-groomed nails are an indispensable component of a girl’s good appearance and taste. The art of manicure is developing very quickly, and the trends in nail design are simply countless. There are also more classic options, for example, French manicure. But a pearl manicure can be both everyday and formal. We will look at its features, application techniques and designs.

Design features

Pearl manicure is quite unique as it is suitable for any occasion. That is, “pearls” will not be provocative for work, and not faded for the holidays. It differs from the inconspicuous design of nails for the office with a slight shine. In addition, pearl nails are a real hit of the season. The trend gained such popularity thanks to a variety of rubbing and application techniques.

Today, pearl manicure is not just a special polish with sparkles. The nail beauty industry has gone much further, therefore, to create beautiful nails with a pearly tint, special preparations are needed that provide a wide choice of color palette and texture. Like any type of manicure, pearl manicure has its own design features. It is worth remembering a few simple rules to get a beautiful result.

• The basic version of nails with a pearly tint is light varnish colors. Therefore, you should remember that white, nude and any other light shade always reveals all the imperfections on the nails. And the shine will only emphasize them. If you decide to try this manicure, carefully prepare your nail plate.

• When choosing mother-of-pearl or pearls, you need to carefully consider the treatment of the nail. The surface should be as smooth as possible, without burrs and overgrown cuticles. With such a manicure, all such flaws will be clearly visible.

• This coating is ideally diluted with painting or decorative stones. They can be just as neutral or, conversely, bright to accent the nails. It remains fashionable to decorate not every nail, but only a few fingers. This is a field for your experiments and specialist skills.

• In addition, not all fingers can be pearlescent. This shade goes well with velvet and matte polishes. Just like the previous recommendation, don’t be afraid to choose other colors and add some “zest” to your manicure.

Color combinations

The first thing to remember is that pearl manicure is not only white. Of course, the most popular option is a light color, but there are also many other successful shades. Color combinations can be divided into dark, bright and almost white colors. Let's start with the classic version. Light colors include white, pink, nude and yellow. And also all their shades. You can mix these colors in your design, making some nails pink and the rest white. Or use the ombre technique that is popular today. A separate item is translucent nails with light sparkles.

In bright colors, imagination has no limits. You can choose absolutely any colors and achieve a pearl effect using manicure rubs. Don’t be afraid of bright solutions; such colors with a shiny coating look very beautiful and not at all vulgar. The palette is huge - from poisonous and acidic colors to scarlet that never goes out of fashion. By the way, it is bright varnishes that sometimes acquire new life thanks to pearl colors.

The last category is dark manicure. Shades from black to dark green and dark blue. Pearl dark manicure has earned special love from girls. This is because often just dark or black varnish is very provocative and is not suitable for every day, but rather for a certain image. Pearl coating smoothes out this effect a little and allows you to wear this design both during the day to the office and in the evening to a restaurant. If you are still afraid of using too dark shades, you can choose a gray color, which is just between light and dark shades. Again, with a little shine, even such basic colors will sparkle in a new way. As you can see, the palette of pearl manicure is limitless.

Now let's talk directly about rubbing, so popular among ladies and modern nail designers. Essentially, it is a powder that is applied to the nail surface and rubbed into it with quick movements. Rubs also come in different colors. The simplest option is colorless, which gives only a slight shine. Next come all sorts of colors from white to black. They are designed to mix polish colors and the pearl finish itself, making it easy to combine two colors on one nail. Metal rubs are popular this season. Agree, gold and silver nails will look very original and interesting.

Popular techniques

The previous sections mentioned some techniques for creating pearl manicure. Nevertheless, it is worth highlighting 3 main ways to create such an effect.

• Pearl polish or coating with micro-shimmer particles. It should be noted that the pearl coating is precisely small particles, and not large sparkles.
• Rubbing is the most popular technique for creating a pearl effect. It is a fine powder, which is the finishing stage and is rubbed in after the nail polish has dried.
• Another popular remedy is false stones a la pearls. They come in different sizes and shapes, making it possible to create designs and decorate your nails. The only important point is that this is a more complex technique and is not suitable for everyone due to the additional volume on the nail plate.

Having familiarized yourself with the main methods of obtaining the effect of a pearl manicure, you should proceed to the step-by-step instructions for creating such a nail coating. To do everything right, you need to remember a few simple rules.

• Until the very stage of applying varnish, standard nail preparation takes place: sharpening and creating the shape of the nail plate. Remove cuticles and apply nourishing oils.
• Degrease the nail and apply a base.
• Now, if you are using ready-made pearl polish, then move on to that. Remember, you need to use several layers of varnish so that the texture is dense and the color is well conveyed.
• Working with pearl rub works a little differently. First, the base varnish is selected and also carefully applied to the finger in several layers. While the varnish is not yet completely dry, proceed to the pearl powder. It is scattered onto the nail with a special brush or sponge and gradually begins to be rubbed into the nail plate. You yourself can control the process of contrast between pearls and the main color. At the end of the procedure, it is necessary to remove excess powder.
• Be sure to secure the finished product with a finishing agent, which, in addition to its immediate function, will add a little more shine to the nails.

This instruction is suitable for both regular manicure and gel polish using a UV lamp. Several more rules are added to these rules in the case of using decorative pearls. For a high-quality manicure with stones, check whether your specialist has experience in this field and go to a trusted specialist. If you try it yourself, then start with simple applications. So, pearl manicure is not so difficult to do. If you're afraid of experimenting, start with a simple light pearl polish and add more complexity and variety each time.

It is very important for every woman that her nails and hands look neat and well-groomed, because they will delight not only her loved one, but also attract the attention of others. Today, getting a beautiful manicure is not difficult; beauty salons offer a variety of nail art services, from cleaning to a wide variety of designs.

We will tell you below what its features and technique are, what the most successfully combined colors are, and we will also share advice from specialists from the nail industry.

What it is?

Pearl manicure is a coating of nails with a special varnish with a pearlescent effect. There are quite a lot of techniques for performing such a manicure. For example, you don’t have to search the shelves of nail polish stores in search of pearl “charm” in a bottle; you can choose absolutely any shade and purchase a special nail rub that will help you achieve this effect. Pearls are always associated with something refined and elegant; such a nail design will easily attract attention to its owner. In addition to mother-of-pearl color, pearl manicure can also mean the use of various pearls for decoration. Of course, these are not real stones, but they look quite decent.

Features and Benefits

The pearlescent shade will be appropriate always and everywhere. Nail designs with this effect are considered universal, as they go equally well with casual outfits and elegant evening dresses. Very often, brides choose a pearl manicure using a combined technique for wedding ceremonies and other celebrations.

Pearlescent shades of the nude range will go equally well with all things from your wardrobe, since the pearl color is not flashy, but it is effective. But this does not mean that the nails will be dull. At the slightest hit of sunlight, they will be illuminated with a magical color.

The main thing is to have desire, interest and a little patience. Pearl manicure is more in demand with gel polishes due to their durability and richness. But such a design can be safely carried out using ordinary varnishes without leaving home, you just need to purchase some necessary materials.

How to do it correctly?

The luxurious pearlescent color of the varnish will look great on any shape and length of nails. It is especially advantageous, of course, on long nails, but it can easily make short ones look spectacular as well.

If you are doing this manicure at home, then first choose a suitable pearlescent shade. It can be a classic delicate version, reminiscent of sea pearls, or a passionate pink with shimmer. Regardless of whether you use gel polish or regular polish, these shades very often do not go on smoothly the first time, so take your time, let your nails dry and apply 2-3 more coats if necessary. You can leave this manicure in a laconic monochromatic design or decorate several fingers with small rhinestones.

Today you can use several techniques to perform pearl nail design. You can use special rubs that have become very popular this year. Every master has them and are special powders for applying over varnish. You can easily purchase them in a specialized store; they are inexpensive, although it all depends on the manufacturer. In general, they all perform the same functions.

With this nail polish you will add a noble shine to any nail polish color. Moreover, this innovation is suitable for both gel polishes and conventional options.

The nail rub is applied to the dried varnish. Most often, a special sponge or brush is used for these purposes, but most masters “rub in” this powder using gloved fingers. This way the effect is smoother and more natural. You can choose the option that is most comfortable for you. To get pearl nails, you can use special sliders with pearlescent shimmer. They can be plain or with small patterns. They are very easy to use and do not require special skills in manicure. Also, pearl manicure involves the use of stones that look like pearls, which can not only decorate the smile line, complement the French manicure, but also completely lay out several nails with them.

Don't be afraid to experiment and feel free to combine several techniques at the same time to create the most luxurious and elegant manicure.

A color scheme

If you are a lover of the classics and simply adore white pearls, then take the risk of making all your nails contrastingly white. To prevent them from being boring, apply white or silver pearl rub on them, the effect will be amazing. Pastel varnishes combine very well with white; here you can create a lot of different and unusual designs for nails. For example, the middle and ring fingers can be made of white pearlescent shades with crystal decoration, and all the rest - dusty pink.

Black and cream combine very well; such shades can be safely combined on nails, immediately choosing pearlescent options or using a rub. For a bright party, do not be afraid to use contrasting colors, for example, charcoal black and indigo. They are also “friends” with each other and look great in a mother-of-pearl duet.

Design ideas

Today, there are many different options for pearlescent nail designs with all sorts of effects and decor. Next, we will look at the most popular ones, which may be useful to you:

• In the first place is a monochromatic design using pearlescent varnishes or rubs. Simple, concise, tasteful and minimalist style. Perfectly complements any bow.
• We focus on details. If you feel that mother-of-pearl doesn’t shine enough or want something else, then choose hand-painting on several fingers or an option with decorative lace. This manicure will look not only stylish, but also gentle.
• It is not at all necessary to make all your nails pearlescent; add a few accents. For example, decorate your ring finger with a matte shade or make it velvety to match your pearlescent polish. The effect will be very beautiful;
• Also, very often, mother-of-pearl nails are “diluted” with broths, such miniature stones that can completely cover several nails.
• Mother-of-pearl French manicures and lunar manicures look no less elegant, which can easily be diversified with painting, ready-made stickers or stones.
• Mother-of-pearl nails love droplets, as if fresh dew fell on your nails. This design is best done in a salon, because it is done using gel polishes. Thus, it looks more natural and high quality.

Secrets of specialists

Many experts do not always choose a rub exactly to match the varnish. By choosing a slightly different shade or the completely opposite one, you can get great results. On mother-of-pearl nails, the “casting” technique made in gold or silver will look very expensive. Of course, it’s difficult to do it at home if you don’t design nails, but in a salon you can easily get such a manicure. Mother-of-pearl nails attract attention, so it’s very important that hangnails don’t “stick out” and the cuticle doesn’t look rough. Before applying pearlescent polishes or rubbing on any other polishes, take care to clean your nails and give them the ideal shape.
