Negative Space Style Manicure

In 2017, an unusual technique of applying manicure became the hottest new trend. Although this technique existed before, it has become popular only in the past two years. The name of the technique is negative space. The manicure is original and incredibly beautiful. It will help you to significantly transform your image and to make it more unusual and mysterious.

You can do this kind of manicure by yourself. To do it, you do not need to use certain devices or buy special sets, and there are three ways to create such a decor on the nails.

The main feature of this decor is its unusual design, which consists in varnishing only a part of the nail, keeping the natural color of the remaining part. Not so much time has passed since the negative space began to gain popularity. However, it has spread around the world, it is available in all beauty salons and, most importantly, there are many interpretations of how to decorate the nails in this style.

What is Unique about Negative Space?

This technique of nail design has a lot of positive aspects. In particular:

• The decor is suitable for any woman regardless of her age;

• It can be combined with different styles of design;

• The decor will be in perfect harmony with any color gammas of clothes and shoes;

• The design is suitable for a nail plate of any length.

Design Techniques

The main distinguishing feature of this type of manicure is the drawing of diverse geometric shapes.

The patterns can be either simple or complex – for example, combined. At the present time, there are 3 ways to create such a manicure, and each of them is simple even to decorate yourself.

1. The simplest variant of applying manicure is varnishing the entire nail plate, and then cleaning the desired areas with a cotton swab dipped in a nail varnish remover. The disadvantage of this technique is that the decor is a bit blurry, and it is not possible to create the maximally clear contours.

2. The second technique is also not very difficult, as for the decoration you need to stick an adhesive tape on the nail plate, in the form of special figures. These can be strips, zigzags, squares or diamonds. Next, you need to apply varnish and remove the adhesive tape until the varnish has not dried out. In this case, a negative space is a place on the nail, which is not varnished.

You can use special nail stencils to do this manicure. You can choose it in our web shop in the catalogue Nail stencils.

3. The third technique is slightly more difficult to do, and it will require experience and assistance. The difficulty lies in the fact that the negative space of the nail is applied separately. First, simple geometric shapes are applied, which are outlined and left uncovered. The part of the nail that is outside the contour should be varnished. It must be done as carefully as possible.

A type of nail design, such as the negative space, will be an excellent choice for fashion women, as well as for those who prefer to choose the minimalism style. It is worth noting that a manicure can be done using varnishes with different effects, types, and colors, so each decor will be extraordinarily beautiful and stylish. In this case, your fantasy is free of limitations, and you can create your most unimaginable ideas. The most important thing is the accuracy and compliance with the technique.
