Manicures, nail polishes and ideas to paint your nails for a baptism
The baptism of a baby is an endearing family celebration in which you have to live up to it. Our goal is that you have a few ideas of nail polishes and manicures so that you know how to choose the right one according. Be careful, the fact that it is a ‘formal’ manicure does not mean that it is boring. Let’s see it!
A small parenthesis: do not forget that your nails and your hands must always be taken care of, even more so if the baptism approaches. So a few days before file the tips of the nails, trim the cuticle and follow a hydration treatment every night for hands and nails. Only by having this base can you make yourself look great whatever manicure you choose.
1 French manicure with a golden touch
The French of a lifetime, the one that you have worn hundreds of times, is ideal to wear as a guest at a baptism. As you well know, all you have to do is paint the base of your nails with transparent nail polish and the tip with one in pure white. If you think that this type of manicure is a bit serious, especially for young girls, try drawing a not very thick horizontal stripe in gold on all or some of your nails. This line can go flush with the white part or in the middle of the base, thus giving the transparent nail polish a plus of modernity.
The reverse French manicure, that is, white nails and a transparent tip, is also super pretty to wear at a baptism. Be precise when making the strokes so that it looks good and do not let your nails be too long. You can also do other mixes like pink on the base and white on the other side, it’s not like it’s a French manicure as it is, but it’s very practical. Easy to achieve, beautiful and the most visual!
2 Choose to paint your nails in solid colors
What do we understand by solid colors? Those that is soft and also nude, for example: light blue, beige, pale yellow, pale pink, muted gray and any other shade that comes to mind but that doesn’t clash much. If you want the perfect hit, combine the main color of your look with that of your nails. If your dress is soft pink with burgundy tints, paint your nails with a nail polish in the same pink color or a very similar one and add a minimal burgundy decoration. Another style tip that never fails is to combine nail polish on your hands (and toenails if you wear open shoes) with lipstick as long as it stays away from fiery red. The idea is to balance colors and exude elegance. Can you ask for anything more?
3 Opt for nail art and you will not regret it
Este type is somewhat complicated to achieve but the result is well worth it. It consists of applying first of all a thin layer of transparent enamel and then making drawings that have to do with the theme of the baptism: some booties, a cake, a cradle, the water with which the baby is baptized, a symbol that refers to the family unit… As we said before, it may be somewhat difficult to design even using a template, but if you are patient and imaginative, rest assured that you will have the best results.
4 Black and white nails, the ideal pairing
If you liked the ideas that we have given you so far to paint for a baptism, wait until you see this one. It’s about combining black and white in all the nails and doing it with grace and originality. We love the idea of painting the nail white and drawing a different geometric shape in black for each finger. You can also alternate between two patterns, such as blank nails, an arrow on one nail, a heart on the next, and the arrow again.
White and black are colors that go perfectly with any look you wear, especially if it is an elegant one for a celebration like this, so if you have a black and a white nail polish at home, all you have to do is wear let’s do Item. One last piece of advice, once you have finished drawing on your nails, wait a few seconds and apply a layer of transparent nail polish so that they appear with the appropriate shine.
5 Write letters on your nails, how beautiful!
From the previous point we went to this other equally beautiful. Apply a layer of the white nail polish that we talked about before, wait a few moments for it to dry and write words on two of your fingers. ‘Love’, ‘baby’, ‘ceremony’ are very valid examples to give your manicure an irresistible touch. As for the color that you have to use to put the letters on your nails, if the base is white, make it black, brown or gray. If the base is transparent, use any shade that you like but that is not too flashy. And if the base is in a color such as pale pink or dull yellow, the letters should be grey.
Remember: you do not have to write something different on each finger, doing it on one or two is more than enough, it is a small detail to achieve anywhere there are.
How you should NOT paint your nails if you have been invited to a baptism
Baptism it can be a somewhat informal celebration in which the family gathers around the baby, but this does not mean that you can paint your nails in any way. Just in case, we are going to make a brief review of the manicures that are NOT advisable to take to a baptism:
- Do not wear glitter, glitter or glitter, it is better to leave it for the weekend.
- Leave aside the silver and gold tones.
- If you play with the is modest and, as we have said before, with reasons that revolve around the baptism.
- Nothing to wear a nail in each color.
- Nor is it worth using enamels in ultra-bright colors.
