Both subtle and not so subtle, Deco gives the unmistakable impression of classiness unlike any other style. After all, it’s from an unmatched age of showiness, extravagance, and fashion.
For this style, try on some whites and golds — colors and patterns that radiate luxury. This is the time to flaunt it and be flamboyant.
Geometric patterns outlined with thin, subtle black lines and filled in with white, black, and gold make for beautiful, simple, and elegant Deco style.
Try a matte black and carefully splash on some gold glitter at the end for an easier look. Don’t be afraid to get a little flashy with this style.
If you want to be a little more period correct, however, try starting with different shades of red and orange. Styling your nails this way would serve to enhance the overall 1920s look you might be going for.
You could also try some shades of green, such as peacock, jade, or emerald. The Deco style is one of richness and luxury, and now isn’t the time to hold back.
White, black, and yellow make for another perfect combination for this style. A white base with yellow lines give the impression of ivory and gold.
You can convey an air of wealth using simple patterns of black and yellow. Black as a base with subtle highlights of different colors also work extremely well.
Finally, don’t forget to try some more elaborate designs. What’s great about Art Deco is that it’s so varied, so you can go as simple or complex as you like. Try glitters with matte, or even animal patterns. Your inspiration comes from a wealth of historic designs.
