Manicure and Pedicure – MattsBabes https://mattsbabes.co.uk Women's Health - Fitness, Nutrition, Sex, and Weight Loss Tips for Women Thu, 14 Mar 2024 12:23:03 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.3 Russian queen of nails: you are shocked by the manicure, which is done by the master of Instasamki https://mattsbabes.co.uk/russian-queen-of-nails-you-are-shocked-by-the-manicure-which-is-done-by-the-master-of-instasamki/ Thu, 14 Mar 2024 12:23:03 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=2746

This Russian woman does manicures for many celebrities, but it was the unusual nail designs for Instasamka that made her even more famous. And looking at her work, you immediately understand: not every star beauty master can do this!

For several months, Instasamka has been living in the United Arab Emirates. And she does not hide that she misses the Moscow craftswomen who are responsible for her appearance. What can we say – the singer even refused extra-long nails with an intricate design. But before, she constantly surprised fans with an unusual manicure! All this time, the nails for Dasha (the real name of the star) were made by the same girl – Yulia Enikeeva. She herself calls herself the “mother of the stiletto” – because she prefers to work with the maximum length of nails.

Yulia’s main hobby is hand-drawn designs. She does not use stickers and stencils in her works. Everything that you see below, the master created herself from scratch! It seems that the Russian woman has at least studied at an art school, if not a more serious academic base.

Julia works not only with paintings on nails. In her portfolio, you can also find manicures with rhinestones, a gradient, sparkles, and trendy designs. A craftswoman is capable of working of any complexity: after all, the desire of the client is still at the head of everything 🙂

By the way, Julia has her own beauty salon in Moscow. The girl has assembled a team of no less talented like-minded women, from whose work you can’t tear yourself away. She also regularly conducts workshops for those who want to get closer to her level of skill and learn how to work with complex designs and extreme nail lengths.

It is hard to imagine how many hours it takes to create such nail masterpieces! And no less simple – how to live with such long nails. However, judging by the flow of new photos on social networks, Yulia and her team have plenty of clients. So, long nails are just a matter of habit. And, of course, the desire for bright self-expression through your manicure 🙂

A little more gibberish

5 in geometry

When simple geometric shapes are not enough, complex patterns come into play. Stand out with mini nail tattoos!

Foil effect

For those who cannot live without shine, but are tired of rubbing and rhinestones, we suggest playing with the foil effect – it looks stylish and not defiant.

A new fashion trend has appeared in the beauty industry – to “build” microcopies of famous structures on nails. You can do this both on all fingers and on a couple. Combinations will also look very cool, where one nail is with an architectural design, and the rest are in monochrome. 

Allow yourself all sorts of nail experiments. We look at the ideas of thematic manicure and get inspired!

The masters of the network of studios “PILKI” have developed an experimental collection “Architecture in manicure”, clearly showing how their ideas of extravagant nail design can be realized, which will not go unnoticed.

We present to you: 

  • Oriental tales 
  • Gloomy castle 
  • Middle Ages 
  • Baroque

Bright ideas for architectural manicure

Oriental tales

Arabian tales, dark nights, sweet dances, and speeches of Scheherazade – a tribute to the admiration of the East will express your thematic manicure in the style of Hagia Sophia (the world-famous monument of Byzantine architecture, is located in Istanbul).

Gloomy castle

Such nails would fit perfectly into the atmosphere of an extravagant show in the style of the seven deadly sins. For a fatal party, a gothic manicure theme is perfect.

Middle Ages

Another version of nail locks, but this time the tips are not as sharp. Plus, some “turrets” may have a roof in a contrasting color. Whichever of the gothic-themed manicure options you choose will attract attention.

Baroque

Translated from Italian, Barocco means “strange”, and “prone to excesses”. Therefore, the thematic manicure should be massive, “with stucco” and a lot of gold, which is not only on the nails but also on the fingers.

Glitter french manicure

The advantage of a glitter French manicure is that it looks noble and restrained, despite the use of sparkling accents. The jacket of natural shades is still relevant, but it is not forbidden to experiment with different colors. Red French manicure with sparkles is usually chosen for evening events. We also include rich purple and blue there. If you want something more calm and sophisticated, you should pay attention to the French-style nude manicure with sparkles, which uses powdery, creamy, creamy shades, the whole range of beige, soft pink, and muted peach. When performing a French manicure with sparkles, it is customary to decorate the tip of the nail with glitter. Although you can leave this area matte, and use shiny elements – glitter, rhinestones, and bouillons – on other parts of the nail plate.

Blue glitter manicure

Deep and mysterious blue goes well with the radiant decor. Blue manicure with sparkles conquers at first sight. The simplest, but stylish option is to use a glitter coating, which can be in the form of fine sparkling powder or resemble pieces of mica. If you apply such varnish over the entire surface of the nail, the result will be amazing without any extra effort. A blue glitter manicure can also be done using the French or reverse French technique – in this case, the corresponding parts of the nail are decorated with glitter. One of the unusual trends of 2022 is the “broken glass” design. 

Glitter almond manicure

The almond shape of the nails is well-deservedly popular due to the ability to visually lengthen the fingers and make them more elegant. Having made an almond manicure with sparkles, you definitely will not lose. Most often, for everyday wear, fashionistas choose nude manicure almonds with sparkles of cream, milky, pink, or coffee shades. Also in high esteem pastel colors. For a solemn exit, you should pay attention to blue, red, or purple almond manicures with sparkles. If you don’t want to overdo it with shine, it’s better not to wear jewelry with such a nail design. Among the fashionable manicure options for almonds with sparkles, we saw stunningly beautiful patterns lined with glitter, inspired by floral motifs. With a rounded shape of nails, this design looks especially harmonious. But the geometry, although possible, is better suited to a more graphic shape of nails, such as square. Geometric glitter manicure on short nails is another nail design trend for 2022.

Nude glitter manicure

Of course, we could not ignore such a trendy design as a nude manicure with sparkles. After all, this is one of the most popular options. With all the restraint, it attracts attention with a sparkling decor. Nail masters offer all kinds of shiny ornaments, jackets, moon manicures, and glitter coating of one or two nails. Rhinestones are a controversial topic among manicure fans, but after all, if you like this design, why deny yourself? Moreover, such a radiant manicure can be made quite delicate, avoiding excessive drama.

When it comes to bridal manicure, most girls immediately imagine something classic and modest like the familiar jacket. However, in fact, modern brides can afford a lot more creativity.

Black and white color

A black and white graphic option is a great option for bold brides who are ready to experiment. No need to be afraid of black in a wedding look – better learn how to skillfully combine it!

Confetti 

A scattering of confetti on your fingertips will make your manicure incredibly festive. In order not to overload the design, ask the master to use the most neutral shade in the varnish palette as the main color.

Gardener’s nails: how to repeat the “dirty manicure” that has become a trend https://mattsbabes.co.uk/gardeners-nails-how-to-repeat-the-dirty-manicure-that-has-become-a-trend/ https://mattsbabes.co.uk/gardeners-nails-how-to-repeat-the-dirty-manicure-that-has-become-a-trend/#comments Wed, 06 Mar 2024 21:06:04 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=2554

Today you will not surprise anyone with the usual neat coating of nails. Manicure studios are ready to offer you the most popular types of nail design from social networks

But be careful: one of the new trends does not look equally advantageous on all hands!

We have no doubt that every time you come for a manicure, you are faced with a difficult choice: get off with a quick one-color coating or allocate another half an hour and a couple of hundred rubles for the master to conjure over your nails and make an interesting drawing. And often the second option wins: after all, the usual monochrome cannot but get bored.

Even some 10 years ago, manicurists could only offer you simple lines, butterflies, or flowers on the nails. But with the advent of social networks, nail design appeared in all its glory and turned into a real work of art. However, the classics have not been forgotten either. Who would have known that in our time the main trend would again be French manicure, which for a long time was considered almost bad manners and was said goodbye exclusively to brides? Of course, the time has changed the French manicure. Now the white edging of the nail is far from a prerequisite. All the colors of the rainbow are used. Or rather, an even more extensive palette of shades in the manicure salon.

Everything would be fine, but sometimes the masters (or the persistent clients themselves?) clearly miss the choice of color for this type of manicure. Such examples instantly become the subject of discussion among Internet users and even grow to the level of anti-trends.

This is the fate that the work of an ordinary manicurist Catherine from the UK deserved. Back in 2020, the girl published a French manicure with dark green edging on her blog. He became a “hit” of discussions by chance and a little later won the title of “Gardener’s Nails”.

“As if not after a manicure session, but after a couple of hours of digging in the garden.”
“Looks like dirt under fingernails. Dislike!”
“The effect turned out to be very sloppy,” they write on the Web.

Indeed, the shade of the edging is rather gloomy and does not match the skin tone of the hands. But to call “gardener’s nails” a single mistake of only one master from the UK would be wrong. We found similar works in RuNet. There is a demand for such a manicure, and quite impressive. See what you should and shouldn’t do!

Black is a timeless classic. But a black jacket is a dangerous choice, which without the right texture looks sloppy and dirty. Especially when the rest of the nail remains matte and does not support this gloomy edging at all. With gloss, things get better. And, most importantly, cleaner. But to be honest, it’s still far from the wow effect.

 dark blue tip and a matte bed are also controversial option, which is suitable only for “white hands” and will be lost on tanned skin. It’s good that summer is already far away, and you don’t have to worry about this!

But gloss also does not always effectively complement the picture. It’s about the intensity of the shade. Any dark color on the tip of the nail looks strange and requires additional accents.

adding a couple of lines to the base of the nail and even the dark green “garden” color becomes noble. And if the edging itself is made not round, but more curly, the manicure looks even more interesting, and of any shade.

Another winning variation of the color French manicure is neon. Such shades do not initially look natural, which means they will not raise doubts about what is wrong with your nails. And by the way, they can be combined with a “bare” nail or a matte finish. Here, on the contrary, you need to be careful with the main color of the nail plate: if it is too bright in relation to the skin tone and the neon color itself, the hands will look overloaded.

If you are still in love with both green and French manicures, the effect of “dirty gardener’s nails” can be avoided in another way. It will require a little more attention from you, but the result is definitely worth it. Ask the master to paint the tips of your nails in different shades of green: from light with a milky undertone to the most saturated of the palette, in the color of spring foliage. Personally, we have already saved this example for ourselves to show to our master on the next manicure! And you?

In this article, we have collected the best wedding manicure ideas. And here we looked at the fashionable nail design of Russian stars, which are worth repeating. Well, in this material you will find types of manicures that are irrevocably out of fashion.

What is the secret of Megan Markle’s manicure and pedicure – even here she has her own rules! https://mattsbabes.co.uk/what-is-the-secret-of-megan-markles-manicure-and-pedicure-even-here-she-has-her-own-rules/ https://mattsbabes.co.uk/what-is-the-secret-of-megan-markles-manicure-and-pedicure-even-here-she-has-her-own-rules/#comments Tue, 05 Mar 2024 21:59:17 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=2540

Meghan Markle is a well-known lover of setting her own rules. The duchess adheres to her own rules even in manicures and pedicures. Let’s find out which ones!

Meghan Markle has always paid special attention to the care of her nails – both on her hands and on her feet. In manicures and pedicures, Megan used to stick to her own preferences and vision of beauty: in this sense, little has changed even after she became the wife of a prince. 

Let’s take a closer look at the Duchess’s nails and analyze which shape and color combinations she likes the most.

Form

duchess adheres to her own rules even in manicures and pedicures. Let’s find out which ones!

In this regard, Megan is quite conservative. Both before marriage and after it, she is faithful to the same form of nails – a soft square. Markle does not grow long and prefers short nails, which look equally good on both light and dark varnish.

Manicure

Before becoming the wife of the prince, Meghan Markle quite often experimented with shades of varnish, for example, she loved to match them to the color of the outfit. In those days, the star of the series “Force Majeure” could be seen with nails the color of wet asphalt or ripe cherries. Even then, the actress had a passion for the nude, so quite often she did a manicure in milky or light pink shades.

After the marriage, Megan’s style became more restrained, and with it the manicure changed a bit. Markle completely switched to light translucent shades of varnish: with such a manicure, she appeared both at the engagement announcement with Harry and at their royal wedding.

However, nude manicure did not become an iron rule for Megan. During her first pregnancy, she appeared at an official event with dark nail polish – no one from the royal family allowed her such liberties before.

By the way, the opinion that the protocol involves an exceptionally light manicure is nothing more than a myth. In fact, representatives of the royal family most often choose nude shades in manicure so that it looks appropriate under any circumstances. Nevertheless, then Megan’s act was discussed by the entire world press: there it was called the Duchess’s bold departure from the rules.

Pedicure

Meghan Markle pays a lot of attention to foot care and does a hardware pedicure about once every 2 weeks. According to rumors, she often takes Harry with her to this beauty procedure, who helps her choose the right shade from a large palette of varnishes.

Megan has not changed her favorite shades for a pedicure for 10 years already. She paints her toenails either in pastel colors or in red-burgundy. 

Nothing has changed in this regard even after marriage: Megan still has the same colors in favor. By the way, the duchess has a special rule: if she paints her fingernails in nude shades, then she chooses saturated colors for a pedicure – and vice versa. At the very beginning of her career, Markle could still appear with the same color on her arms and legs, but now she does not allow herself to do so.

Fashionable pedicure in light colors: 3 Rules that guarantee a beautiful result https://mattsbabes.co.uk/fashionable-pedicure-in-light-colors-3-rules-that-guarantee-a-beautiful-result/ Sun, 03 Mar 2024 22:03:42 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=3051 Light shades of varnish are very insidious. Especially in a pedicure! Sometimes they do not decorate, but rather spoil the impression.

 However, this is not a reason to put an end to a light pedicure. We tell you how to make it beautiful and appropriate.

In the summer months, the popularity of colored pedicures increases markedly. And you must admit, choosing a shade of nail polish is much more difficult than choosing a shade for hands. Firstly, the varnish should be combined with the color of open shoes. And secondly, to really decorate the legs – and not focus on possible imperfections or non-standard nail shapes. 

We have already talked in detail about rich shades for a pedicure, which goes especially well with a tan. Now the turn has come to make out the light shades of gel polishes – after all, there are a lot of lovers of nudes and pastels!

The shade of the pedicure should match the skin tone

During the summer months, finding the right shade of polish to match your skin tone can be tricky. After all, even today you are pale, and at the weekend you went to the beach and got very tanned. Because of this, the color of a pedicure can suddenly become unfavorable – and even seem to be dirty. 

If you’re planning on sunbathing this summer, but still dreaming of a pedicure in light colors, choose shades with warm undertones – or golden design elements. Well, or stop at the most neutral pink range, almost merging with the natural shade of the nails. 

Cold pastel colors are not for everyone 

Pale pink, lilac, blue, and other muted cool colors can draw attention to the imperfections of the legs. For example, in the presence of abrasions, mosquito bites, and bulging veins. This will be especially noticeable on pale skin. 

If you have already tanned, we recommend trying cold pastels. After all, when, if not in summer, will it look so good on the legs?

White pedicure is a dangerous trend 

The white color in manicure and pedicure is an enduring classic. However, pure white looks rather questionable and runs the risk of appearing unkempt and dirty. Both on the hands and on the feet. 

However, this does not mean that you should leave the dream of white nails! Just dilute the light base with glitter or light design elements. 

Of course, do not forget that the white color looks spectacular in combination with tanned skin. Therefore, a more win-win option would be to add white elements to a bright-colored pedicure.

Cow print: What a cool summer manicure looks like that you definitely want to repeat https://mattsbabes.co.uk/cow-print-what-a-cool-summer-manicure-looks-like-that-you-definitely-want-to-repeat/ Sun, 03 Mar 2024 15:31:18 +0000 https://mattsbabes.co.uk/?p=3039 Animal print has always been popular in nail art. And if in past seasons girls mostly went crazy for leopard or snake patterns on their nails, this summer they paid attention to other representatives of the fauna – namely cows! In the new material, we have collected cool manicure options with bright accents reminiscent of the skin of this cattle.

The theme of the Wild West was at the peak of popularity last fall – just remember the fashion for cowboy boots and fringe. These motifs have not lost their relevance this summer season either, only now this trend has slightly transformed and spread to nails.

So, cow nails came into fashion – and, fortunately, we are not talking about a crazy shape in the form of hooves, but about a print that looks like the natural color of this cattle! Yes, on the nails, these animalistic patterns look less exotic than leopard, crocodile, or snake prints, but they still attract attention. 

If you think that we are talking exclusively about classic black and white spots on the nails, then you are greatly mistaken. Here you have a whole field for experimentation: mix different shades of brown in a manicure or imagine a cow with green, blue, or other bright specks on its body. 

You can choose a solid color as a base, or choose a translucent base shade (milky in this case will play the role of an ideal “canvas”!). The latter option is ideal for the summer because it will grow imperceptibly and look completely weightless on the nails! 

You can also decorate only part of the fingers with a cow print – so nail art will definitely not look overloaded.

By the way, you can handle this design option on your own, because it does not involve any strict lines or complex patterns: you just need to place spots of various shapes and colors on your nails.

If you still decide to entrust the manicure to your nail guru, then it’s better to show him in advance the design you like from the saves on your phone. So you will be sure that the master understood you correctly, which means that the result will not turn into disappointment!
