Ombre 2021 and spring trends in manicure!

      Spring is the time when nature comes to life ... We need changes, we have more energy and willingness to act, more smile and greater openness to changes. Changing your wardrobe to a spring one, lighter and in a completely different color than winter, is also accompanied by a change of colors on the nails.

         After a long winter with nude shades, we are eagerly reaching for color: pastels and neon!

         The ombre styling has dominated the spring and summer seasons for many years. No wonder, as it is timeless and offers many possibilities. Each client will find their own color version - pastel, neon, single or multi-colored ombre, the one in which they feel best. We can combine two colors, obtaining a subtle shading of the tip, or several colors like a rainbow. Bright colors - pastels or white, and probably the timeless babyboomer, is nothing more than ombre with the use of white.

    We can adjust the ombre style to the shape of the nail plate. By working with colors vertically, we will optically lengthen and slimmer nails. Horizontal blending is a great, more subtle alternative to a sharpened French.

    In 2021, ombre was given a new look, its new face was shown. This milky version, promoted by me in Poland, and taken from stylists from the east, won the hearts of stylists in our country from the very first day. One- or two-color shading covered with a milky product (gel or gel polish - in my stylizations it is usually “846 SuperStar” lacquer) is subtle, delicate, very fresh and feminine. This type of styling appears on most profiles of well-known salons, following the trends, offering their clients the latest hits from the nail industry.

  Speaking of ombre, it should be mentioned that despite such great popularity, its execution often causes many problems. We often use the wrong products. One of my favourite technique is working with a sponge and UV paints.

Dense, easy to apply and well pigmented, covering 100% even with the first ultra-thin layer.  You will get UV paints in as many as 20 beautiful colors. They blend wonderfully, so you can create new shades. They do not dry out when used, they need to be cure in a UV/LED lamp, giving the stylist time to create a beautiful styling. Often, one thin layer is enough to make an ombre. The paints cure for 60 seconds and you can use them to create not only ombre, but also many fantastic stylings. Check out my way to make spring ombre!

   With the beginning of the spring season, in our beauty salon, we notice an increased interest in colored french, pastel and neon, which we make with gel polishes. We gladly complement the colorful nails with swarovski or glitter. Sometimes these are all nails covered with a glitter gel polish or a glitter french. Check out our Metal Gel in four beautiful colors: gold, white gold, rose gold and silver. Look at the photo how beautiful this French looks. Metal Gel is a "must have" in wedding stylizations, it is worth remembering because spring is the time of weddings.

Our creativity knows no bounds, we keep improving, changing the trends we already know. Let this season be colorful, cheerful and full of optimism!
