The accent nail is a type of manicure which, despite its simplicity, has a great aesthetic impact . Extremely versatile, it can be made both on natural nails and on gel or acrylic reconstruction .
We explain what it is and how to make this elegant nail art in a few simple steps, without the need to resort to the beautician!
L ' accent nail is a type of nail art in vogue for some years which consists in coloring all the nails in the same manner with the exception of that of the ring which can be either a different color or may have a decoration. Hence the name "Accent Nail", or accent on a nail.
Why decorate only the ring finger? Why pay attention to that finger? It seems that the hidden meaning of this fashion is the desire to communicate the absence of the fateful engagement ring , which is worn precisely on the left ring finger, and therefore convey an idea of freedom and availability.
It is not known exactly who was the creator of this trend but over the years this manicure has been flaunted by stars from all over the world, actresses, models, singers, famous women of cinema and entertainment. Kelly Rowland, Vanessa Hudgens, Evan Rachel Wood, Whitney Port and Lindsay Lohan just to name a few.
Today the accent nail is one of the most used nail art by women because it is simple to do , undemanding and lends itself to being declined in many versions.
Making the accent nail is quite simple: no great dexterity or special skills are required. You just need to know how to apply nail polish precisely or create a simple nail art and that's it!
Here is the procedure with the steps to follow to make a simple accent nail:
First of all, we proceed with applying a transparent base on all the nails.
A colored polish of your choice is then applied to all the nails except the ring finger.
The type of decoration to be created is established as an accent nail on the ring finger and proceeds to the realization or a contrasting nail polish is applied .
It is sealed with a transparent top coat to increase the duration of the manicure.
Below we propose a video tutorial that clearly shows you how to make a simple sober and glam accent nail!
The choice of shades or decoration for the ring finger is only a matter of taste. The important thing is that the colors are not too similar otherwise the accent would not be noticed!
We can therefore choose whether to apply a simple nail polish in contrast with the one used on the rest of the nails or decorate the ring finger with a delicate nail art. You can create a French manicure on all nails and leave the ring finger white. There are no limits to imagination and creativity when it comes to nail art : chromatic contrasts, decorations with acrylic colors, crystals, glitter, micro-painting, relief designs.
The proposals available are many. Here are some suggestions:
Single-color and single-color ring finger nails with sparkles or tone-on-tone glitter top coat ;
Single color nails with simple ring finger of a different color , perhaps gold or silver in contrast;
Single color nails and ombré ring fingers ;
Single color and ring nails with simple nail art and designs ;
Single color and ring finger nails with reverse french .
Think that this type of nail art is also proposed as an idea for bridal nails using very light colors and pastel shades.
