It seems that Princess Di continues to inspire society and remains a role model. In particular, this season her image sets the tone for the style and shades of manicure.
Mother. Ly website reports that according to the forecasts of British beauty experts from Fresha London, in the coming months, women will strive to use Princess Diana's signature matte pearl shade in their manicures. This is partly due to the release of the final season of the Netflix series The Crown, but in general, the trend continues throughout the year.
What does it look like?
Ideally, a "Princess Diana manicure" is rounded, short nails painted in one color, ideally nude or white, with a top coat of chrome.
"If you want to add a touch of class, consider adding a pearlescent finish to a French manicure like Diana's - it's a great way to modernize a classic manicure, especially if you're going to a wedding or just need 'neutral' nails," explain the experts at Fresha London.
"And while we expect some shades to stay the same this fall, we also predict that royals will be a source of inspiration for many who will be watching the final season of The Crown in November."
How to make a matte manicure?
Experts say that for Diana's multi-layered manicure, it is important to choose a base color that matches your skin tone, otherwise the manicure may look "washed out." For warm tones, it is better to choose a warm undertone (for example, peach instead of straight white), and for cold tones, light gray.
Apply one layer at a time and leave enough time to dry. When creating a multi-layer coating, as in Diana's manicure with frosted pearls, make sure that each layer is completely dry before applying the next. Otherwise, the polish will bubble, crease, or smear completely when touched.
Use the pearlescent coating sparingly. The key to creating a "matte" look is to avoid applying it in multiple layers, otherwise the glitter will become too matte and the French tip or nude base will disappear underneath.
