Summer calls with its warm breeze and long, sunny days. What better way to align your manicure with the seasonal joys? Maritime motifs and beach designs are especially popular during the warmer months and offer numerous creative ways to beautify your nails. At Mon Lis Studio, we have developed a variety of designs and techniques to give your nails the perfect summer flair.
Inspiration from the Sea
Maritime themes offer a refreshing palette of blues—from deep navy to bright turquoise. These colors can be combined with white and sand tones to mimic the feeling of sea waves and sandy beaches. Wave patterns, anchors, sailboats, and marine creatures like starfish or shells are popular motifs that are ideal for a summer manicure.
Beach Vibes
For those who love spending their days at the beach, designs that mimic the texture of sand, the shine of the sun, and the sparkle of the ocean are perfect. Think of fine sand mixed with golden glitter or the reflection of sunlight on water, represented by shimmering metallic colors.
Techniques for Summer Effects
Ombre Technique: A gentle gradient from blue to white can create the impression of sea waves. This technique is particularly effective for achieving a flowing, natural look.
Glitter and Rhinestones: To simulate sparkling sand or shimmering water, glitter particles or small rhinestones can be used. These elements add a playful and glamorous touch.
Stamping Art: Maritime symbols like anchors, palm trees, or flip-flops can be precisely applied to the nails using stamping techniques, ensuring a clear and detailed design.
Care and Durability
To ensure that your summer manicure lasts through the season, we recommend at Mon Lis Studio:
High-Quality UV Protection Top Coat: A top coat that protects against UV rays helps preserve the colors from fading in the sun.
Regular Refreshment: Due to exposure to seawater and pool chemicals, we recommend refreshing the manicure regularly to maintain the shine and integrity of the design.
A summer manicure is more than just a seasonal beauty treatment; it's a way to express your love for summer and its activities.
