Islimi and girih are also used. The first is a floral ornament with elements of intricate vines and flowers. The second - geometric shapes from nodes, lines, meshes. Most often, one type of pattern is complemented by another, which makes it possible to create various luxurious combinations.
The meaning of oriental patterns
Each pattern, made in the traditions of the East, carries a certain meaning. Since Islam forbids depicting humans and animals, only the vegetative and geometric versions remain. But to create the style itself, the prohibition frames are slightly expanded. So, here you can depict a stylized peacock feather, which symbolizes good luck, protects from evil people.
In the arsenal of beauties, you can find symbols of the sun and the moon, which speak of happiness and secrets, paisley cucumbers, which serve as a symbol of approaching God, stars connecting the top with the bottom. Various ornaments and figures protect from the evil eye, evil, poverty. Thus, the symbolism of Arabic manicure is purely spiritual in nature.

How to make a beautiful oriental manicure

When choosing a shade of varnish, you should focus on natural tones, which are distinguished by their deep saturation. Oriental motifs make nails look like precious stones set in gold.

Role of nail shape
The shape of the nail is important for the Arabic manicure. As a rule, oriental-style nails are made elongated, in the form of an arch.

Each country has its own fashionable manicure. However, manicure does not always bear the name of the country in which it was invented. Every modern woman, of course, has heard about French, Japanese, American, Spanish, European manicure, and many women have tried to apply these types of nail designs to their nails in beauty salons.
Consider the main types of manicure that are fashionable today in different countries.
- European manicure.
This type of manicure appeared in the thirties of the twentieth century, thanks to the Frenchwoman Juliet Marlene, who came to America in order to conquer Hollywood. And I must say that she succeeded, and in many respects thanks to the unedged manicure invented by her.
The essence of European manicure is that the cuticle is not trimmed with forceps or scissors, but is pushed aside by a pusher or scraper. Then Marlene performed a light hand massage using aromatic oils. After such a procedure, the cuticle began to grow not on the surface of the nail, but under the posterior lateral ridge, and the procedure also prevented its coarsening.
Madame Marlene's manicure became the first safe type of hygienic manicure, thanks to which the surface of the nail remained intact, and with such a procedure there is much less chance of infection, wounds and inflammation.
Sparing European manicure is quite popular, since it can be used by people who have a close location of blood vessels to the skin, as well as those who have increased sensitivity of the fingers.
Contrary to its name, the origin of this type of manicure has nothing to do with France. French manicure appeared in 1976 in the USA, thanks to the American founder of ORLY, Jeff Pink.
French manicure was created by him to order from one of the famous directors of Hollywood at the time. The director was dissatisfied with the fact that a lot of time was spent on repainting the nails of actresses for each outfit. Therefore, Pink's task was to create a manicure that would be versatile, suitable for any dress, but neat and effective. The specialist did an excellent job with the order, proposing a new type of nail coloring, in which the entire nail was covered with a translucent pink or flesh varnish, and the smile line was highlighted in white.
This type of manicure quickly became popular not only in Hollywood, but also on the catwalks of different countries. In particular, it got its name thanks to models from France, who became its main fans.
Today, French manicure is popular all over the world and comes in all sorts of colored varieties.
The most popular types of jacket are:
Colored jacket - when the entire nail plate is covered with transparent varnish, and the smile is drawn with color. 
Twist French - any combination of colors.
An inverted jacket, or a crescent manicure.
But the classic look is also quite popular.
- American manicure, or Beverly Hills manicure.
This type of manicure was created in America. Apparently it was difficult for the Americans to accept that the French invented by their compatriot was given to the French, and they came up with nail art - "Beverly Hills". Performing this type of manicure is not much different from the classic jacket. The difference is that the smile is drawn not in white, but close to the color of the nail, and the coating is done in pastel colors.
- Spanish manicure.
This type of manicure has appeared recently. Name Spanish manicure this nail art received thanks to the passion, energy, brightness that are inherent in the Spaniards. This design is made in two or more colors. It is a combination of bright stripes that make up geometric patterns.
Spanish manicure will appeal to active women, lovers of bright images.
- Japanese manicure.
This type of manicure is more of a therapeutic rather than a cosmetic procedure. Japanese manicure solves the problem of weak nails, delamination of the nail plate, cracks, and is also used as a rehabilitation for nails after the extension procedure. 
For the procedure, Japanese specialists use special vitamin and mineral products with plant extracts, oils and beeswax. This combination of components can quickly restore and strengthen the nail plate.
- Brazilian manicure.
This trendy manicure look is a novelty in the nail industry. The main advantage of Brazilian manicure is its safety. The masters of this country ruled out the possibility of skin injuries, infections.
Brazilian manicure is performed using a disposable set that contains an orange stick, nail file and gloves with cream. The cream for this manicure consists of vitamin E, keratin, copai tree extract, tea tree oil, calcium, allantoin.
The procedure gives the hands a soft and well-groomed look, and the nails look white and well-groomed.

- Oriental manicure.
This type of manicure is suitable for those who wish to make an unconventional and spectacular nail design. A distinctive feature of oriental manicure is luxury and wealth, dark shades with golden tints or sparkle of precious stones. Manicure ornament also expresses all the beauty, luxury and uniqueness of the East.
Oriental manicure happens:
Arabic - manicure decorated with floral designs and curls.
Indian - drawings made with henna, peacock feathers, paisley, Indian cucumbers.
Traditional colors for oriental manicure are burgundy, emerald, dark blue, beige, warm brick, deep orange and scarlet. To create it, beads, large rhinestones, gold acrylic paint, and feathers are used, which are sealed between the layers of the coating.
In the east, wealth and beauty have always been honored. In the countries of the East, at all times, bright colors and golden patterns were in vogue. Fashionable manicure in these countries is no exception.
Oriental manicure - this is a complex and time-consuming job that requires real skill and artistic taste from the performer. However, it is worth it, because in the end the nails are a real original handmade masterpiece.
If you strive to create a spectacular and extraordinary manicure, you should pay attention to oriental motives.
Oriental manicure is characterized by deep dark shades, richness and chic of golden tints and precious stones. They reflect the beauty and originality of the East and a variety of ornaments that are very far from traditional European patterns. There are two groups of drawings in the oriental style:
- indian manicure: peacock feathers, mehendi-style patterns, paisley (also called Indian cucumbers);
- arabic manicure - floral and floral ornaments in oriental colors, various ornate curls.
Classic shades of oriental manicure: indigo, deep, brick, scarlet, deep orange. But this list is limited only by your imagination and skill level, as there are no restrictions on the use of other colors.
To create a real oriental manicure, you can resort to using golden acrylic paint, large rhinestones and beads. If you prefer the Arabic style, then keep in mind that straight lines are alien to it. On the contrary, the patterns should be as fancy and ornate as possible. But straight lines can be used to depict multicolored mosaics on nails - one of the most common elements of the oriental style.
On sale you can find many accessories for imitating mosaic on nails, this is a special foil with the effect of "broken glass", decorative rhombuses or a shell that can be crushed. It is best to cover such a pattern with stained glass varnish: thanks to this, it will be possible to achieve a unique luxury and depth of decor. A manicure with an oriental mosaic will look good on short nails too.

- Feather manicure
This technique has gained great popularity due to the relative ease of implementation. And the finished manicure looks very elegant and natural. To create it, peacock feathers are used, which are sealed on the surface of nails with a transparent gel polish.
- Oriental ornaments in manicure
Oriental ornaments in the traditional style usually consist of lines and plant stems connected in tight spirals. More rare are geometric motifs - triangles and rhombuses. Experienced nail designers skillfully combine natural and geometric designs in one design. There are no strict canons, on the contrary, the uniqueness of the drawing is highly valued.
Performing oriental manicure at home
You will need:
- white varnish;
- basic coverage;
- sliders;
- varnish matching in color with sliders;
- nail scissors;
- a glass of warm water;
- flat brush;
- means for removing excess varnish and slider parts;
- thin brush (optional).
Having prepared everything you need, you can start creating an oriental manicure.
- Stage one
Do your regular manicure to get your nails ready for the design. The quality of the preparation directly depends on how the coating will look and how long it will last. Be sure to remove the cuticle and remove its remnants from the nail plate. You can also use the unedged manicure technique, but excess skin particles should under no circumstances interfere with the application of the coating.
It is equally important to degrease your nails with a special manicure liquid or regular alcohol. If you skip this step, even with a good quality coating, it will not last long.
Apply a thin layer of base varnish and dry.
- Stage two
Leaving your middle and ring fingernails free, paint all the others with a red polish. If a standard polish brush is not very convenient in shape, and with its help it is not possible to paint the area near the cuticle with high quality, a thin brush will come in handy. She can paint over complex areas, but it is advisable to do this quickly, until the main layer of varnish has dried out.
While the red polish dries, apply white polish to the remaining nails. Wait until it is completely dry. Since the white varnish serves as a background for a solid slider, the quality of staining these nails is not so important. But the red varnish should be applied perfectly, therefore, if the first layer gives gaps, apply the second and wait until it dries.
- Stage three
Cut a rectangle from the sliders plate slightly larger than your fingernail. Dip it in warm water for a few seconds. Gently slide the film off the backing paper while blotting it with a tissue or cotton pad.
Gently place the slider on the surface of the nail, smooth. Usually, excess areas can be removed without problems with a flat brush with a small amount of remover. If that doesn't work, you can use nail scissors.
Place the sliders on all white nails in the same way. Cover them with top and let it dry completely.
If you are afraid that you will not be able to repeat such a manicure without help, do not be upset. In any case, you can contact a nail designer or purchase special stickers with drawings for nails, which are even easier to apply than sliders.

Varieties
There are two types of oriental ornament: Indian and Arabic style. In turn, Arabic manicure, which is most often performed with floral patterns and various curls, has its own subspecies.
- Girih- a kind of nail art, consisting of geometric shapes that have different shapes. This design was borrowed by nail masters from the design of buildings. Unique designs quickly gained popularity in the art of manicure.
- Islimiis the complete opposite of girih and its clear sketches. This Arabic style features floral designs and swirls. Unlike girih, which symbolizes strength and power, soft islimi means flexibility and refinement.

In Indian manicure, henna is often used, with which the decor is created on the nails. Sketches of mehendi patterns, peacock feathers and Indian cucumbers (paisley) are also popular ideas.
According to the majority, a manicure with mehendi patterns has a special effect. - he is able to bring good luck and protect from adversity. To create the basis of Indian manicure, pastel shades of varnish are used, for example, blue, pink and beige. The pattern is applied with a dark paint. However, sometimes the drawing is done using various varnishes, among which there may be such shades as: orange, blue and yellow.
This combination of colors is necessary to create a brighter and more saturated pattern. Making such an ornament is a difficult and time-consuming process, since the flowers must have clear boundaries, but at the same time they must complement each other.
Rhinestones and beads are excellent auxiliary elements for Indian style drawings. The location of the stones should correspond to the pattern, so as not to get a chaotic set.
Indian mehendi on nails is suitable for freedom-loving individuals and for people with a broad outlook.
