Symbol of protection: meaning and current ideas for manicure with eyes

Meaning of symbols

All kinds of images of eyes have different meanings in different cultures. Most often, with the help of talismans in the form of eyes, people protect themselves from the evil eye, curses and bad thoughts. It is believed that such drawings should return an evil look back to the one who threw it.

Also, the symbol in the form of the organ of vision is closely associated with light, the ability of spiritual vision, knowledge and discovery of truth. And in Ancient Egypt, amulets in the form of eyes were associated with the sun, which some peoples worshiped as the all-seeing eye of a deity.

But even if you don’t believe in talismans, the power of amulets and omens, a manicure with eyes can still interest you and your clients, because it looks very interesting and creative on the nails.

Manicure style with eyes

Nail designs with eyes can be made in different styles. For example, in the abstract, combining images of eyes with other bright elements. A minimalist manicure can be created using miniature designs placed at the bottom of the nail plate on a nude background.

For clients who like more spectacular manicure options, Egyptian-style ideas using golden inserts, stickers, iridescent rhinestones and stones are suitable. All kinds of cosmic and magical variations are also welcome!

Nail design options with eyes

An eye in a manicure can take any form - an open eye, a closed one, with or without eyelashes, a plausible version or a complete abstraction. Eyes are drawn either on each nail, or only on a couple.

The color scheme of the nail design is selected according to the girl’s taste and depending on the manicure idea. The eye itself is usually depicted in classic white and blue shades, but the accompanying elements and background will help set the desired mood. These can be dark shades to create an atmosphere of mystery and enigma, beige and nude for a minimalist manicure, pastel and colorful to create a playful and even slightly infantile design.

Whatever version of the “big-eyed” manicure you choose, it will look very stylish, we promise!
