Red manicure 2021 - under a red dress
Red clothing obliges its owner to pay maximum attention to even the smallest element of the image. Everything here: accessories, makeup, manicure must be impeccable. The choice of nail design and color depends entirely on the solemnity of the occasion for which a red dress is preferred.
It is permissible to complement an evening outfit with a bright manicure that attracts attention, but in this case we must not forget about the fine line with vulgarity. It is better to highlight everyday clothes in red with a discreet nail design.
An important role in choosing a manicure is played by the shade of the dress, style, and fabric. Nails can be painted in one color (this is especially true for bright scarlet outfits), combined different options, and decorated. When there is no confidence in the perfect consistency of the image, it is better not to take risks - choose a classic French manicure. It is always appropriate, suitable for a strict, elegant or romantic look.

- small rhinestones;
- glitter;

Geometry in manicure is gaining new popularity every season. If you decide to make a geometric pattern in red shades in 2021, then you can come up with several options:

- If you are not so good with a brush, tape or adhesive tape will come to the rescue, with which you can easily make shapes with straight edges. In this case, you need to choose varnishes of medium thickness, since liquid ones will flow under the adhesive surface, and thick ones will pull along with the tape at the time of removal.
- Translated slides and pictures have not been canceled. In fact, this is one of the easiest ways to create a beautiful, stylish manicure. You can take slides with geometric shapes at once, or you can cut out geometric shapes from ordinary colored slides and place them in different places on the nails.
