Buta is a popular oriental pattern characterized by leaves that look like curved drops. It has many other names: Indian cucumber, paisley, Turkish bean. Although paisley has lost its popularity in textiles (many people associate it with grandma’s scarves), intricate leaves look great in manicure designs!

24. Pink cherry
An amazing jacket with sakura and hieroglyphs for lovers of Japanese style. It looks simply amazing.

Complex, but incredibly chic manicure with liquid stone. This is probably what the owner of the Copper Mountain would have had if she had visited a beauty salon. A tiny lizard on an irregularly shaped nail catches the eye.

In modern Turkish society, ideals female beauty far from the notorious 90-60-90 formula. Turkish men like curvaceous women with appetizing curves. The presence of a belly and full hips in a woman does not bother anyone - this is not a reason to become depressed and go on a strict diet. However, despite the loyalty of Turkish men in matters of female beauty, Turkish women devote a lot of time and attention to taking care of their appearance.
There are many hairdressers in Turkey, they are located literally at every step. An interesting fact is that the vast majority of craftsmen working there are men. One of the most popular services in hairdressing salons is hair straightening. Turkish women's hair, as a rule, is long and thick, rough in texture, and they so want to have smooth and shiny hair, like the models on the pages of glossy magazines. Hairdressers quickly turn wavy hair into perfectly straight hair, masterfully using only a hairdryer and a brush for this purpose, without resorting to curling irons or smoothing styling products. You can often find apprentice boys in hairdressing salons - this is another characteristic feature of the Turkish beauty industry. Apprentices carefully observe the work of a hairdresser for two to three years, help their mentor: mix hair dyes, heat the curling irons, serve a hairdryer, and can prepare tea for clients. Having gained experience, these boys will become hairdressers themselves, and maybe one day they will even open their own salon.
Over the past 10-15 years, tourism in Turkey has been developing rapidly. Every year, a dozen new hotels are built on the Antalya coast alone, and the number of tourists coming to Turkey on vacation is steadily growing. A large number of The appearance of blond women with light eyes on the streets of Turkish resort towns could not but affect the tastes of Turkish men. Turks are increasingly taking foreign wives, not to mention numerous holiday romances. Turkish women strive to keep up with Slavs and Scandinavians and lighten their hair - this is now fashionable. In a small Turkish village with only ten houses, I managed to count exactly ten dyed blondes - one for each yard.
The husband of my Turkish friend Ayşe asked her, a naturally flaming brunette, to lighten her hair. He even allocated the necessary amount from a rather modest family budget to go to the hairdresser, so much did he want to see his own wife blonde. Aishe willingly went to the hairdresser, since she herself had long wanted to change her hair color. Both husband and wife were satisfied with the results of the coloring. Within a few days, the husband, shy and timid, asked Aisha to buy lenses for her eyes. blue color. She indignantly rejected her husband's proposal. Ayşe did not start a scandal, which Turkish women know how to do. In response, she invited her husband to enroll together in Russian language courses and speak exclusively Russian at home. Since then, my husband has stopped talking about blue lenses, at least for now. And Aishe regularly goes to the hairdresser to touch up her overgrown hair roots.
An equally funny story happened to my Russian friend Ksenia. Ksenia came to Istanbul to visit her boyfriend. The young man proposed to her, introduced her to her parents, and things were moving towards a wedding. The groom’s mother suggested that Ksenia go to the hammam (Turkish bath) together. The girl agreed, because she had dreamed of a hammam back in hectic Moscow, and the opportunity to get to know her future relative made her happy. On the appointed day, a large company gathered: the groom’s mother, his grandmother, and relatives And cousins, little nieces, aunts. There are twenty people in total. In the hammam, as soon as Ksenia undressed, all the ladies present began to carefully examine her figure and loudly praise her legs, breasts and buttocks. Ksenia has never heard such frank compliments in her life. Needless to say, how embarrassed she was. Upon returning home, the male part of the family was told that the bride was as good as she could be. It turned out that it was a show. The initiator of this event was the groom's grandmother. She believed that traditions must be respected.
The tradition of choosing a future bride for your son, grandson or brother in the hammam has been preserved in Turkey since ancient times. In the hammam it was possible to unhinderedly look at naked girls, because there you could not hide the imperfections of the figure under the charshaf and extensive clothes. Communication is as important a part of the hamam as peeling or massage.
In the hammam, Turkish women drink tea, feast on sweets, exchange news, share problems and gossip from the heart. I would like to warn tourists going on holiday to Turkey for the first time. You should not trust the guide and immediately agree to the trip to the public hammam offered to you. The procedure there is streamlined and resembles a factory assembly line. The guide receives a commission for each client placed in the hammam, and the quality of the procedure and adherence to traditions are the last thing he cares about. Go to the hammam where the locals go themselves - they will wash you there, give you an excellent peeling and massage according to all the rules.
Turkish women have no equal in the art of hair removal. Turkish women undergo hair removal approximately once a month; often the entire body is subjected to hair removal, and not just traditional areas (legs, armpits, bikini) - in hot climates this is also a matter of hygiene. Hair removal using wax is considered the most ancient method of hair removal. The wax mass is applied to the skin, strips of cotton fabric are placed on top, then the frozen wax is quickly pulled off along with the hairs. Turkish women use waxes with special additives. For example, to treat large areas, natural beeswax, For sensitive skin- wax with the addition of azulene and chamomile, for delicate areas of the armpits and bikini area - pink wax. Procedure wax epilation quite painful, but discomfort last only a few seconds, for the sake of beauty you can endure it.
Another very interesting method of hair removal that Turkish women resort to is called sugaring. For this type of hair removal, cane sugar and water are needed; they are boiled until thickened. The mixture should cool slightly, apply the thickened mixture to the body and deftly remove unwanted hair. Often added to this mixture lemon juice, olive oil, essential oils, as well as honey, which is considered a natural antiseptic. As you can see, this product is prepared exclusively from natural products. Here are the proportions in which the composition for hair removal is prepared: 3 glasses of water, 3 glasses of sugar, juice of one lemon, one tablespoon of honey, you can add a little olive oil and a few drops of essential oil.
In manicure, Turkish women do not recognize halftones and shades; they prefer varnishes of bright and saturated colors: scarlet, burgundy, cherry, coral. In beauty salons, manicures are not done well; Turkish women themselves admit this. Only if with classic manicure the masters are still coping, then with French manicure things are worse, not to mention original design nails or about the nail extension procedure. Good manicurists are highly valued in Turkey; women pass on their contact information to each other in the strictest confidence. A manicurist with a good reputation never sits idle; there is always work for him. All of the above applies equally to pedicures.
Thick black eyebrows of regular shape make the look of Turkish women very expressive. The eyebrow correction procedure deserves attention. The thread is twisted in a special way and its ends are pinched between the fingers, then all excess hair is removed with quick, deft movements, giving the eyebrows perfect shape. For a woman who has ventured to correct her eyebrows with a thread for the first time, this procedure will seem quite painful; tears will involuntarily flow from her eyes. But if you constantly maintain the shape of your eyebrows in this way, then subsequent procedures will no longer cause discomfort. The shape of the eyebrows is preserved much longer than when using conventional tweezers. You can also use a thread to remove any unwanted hair on your face.
Attention! Only if, after reading the article, you have the impression that to care for their appearance, Turkish women use only beauty secrets that have come down to this day from time immemorial, then this is not entirely true. Turkish women are well aware of achievements plastic surgery, with Botox injections, with laser resurfacing of facial skin and other modern beauty procedures. In Turkey, the services of aesthetic medicine clinics and beauty salons are in demand more than ever. On the streets of large cities you can always meet beautiful, stylish, dressed in the latest fashion and well-groomed Turkish women - real oriental beauties. Irina Rukishnikova.

Recently, a talisman against the evil eye and damage called the Turkish Eye has become increasingly popular among superstitious people. It is also called the blue eye, as well as the eye of Fatima. This amulet came to us from Turkey, where it is worn everywhere to protect against negativity.
There are several versions of the origin of this amulet. According to one of them, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, Fatima, gave this talisman to her fiancé when she saw him off to war. That is why many call this talisman the eye of Fatima.
According to another version, this amulet originated in Turkey during the invasion of the Crusaders. It is known that the crusaders who invaded the Turkish lands had light-colored eyes, so the amulet copies the eyes of a stranger, thereby protecting the eastern dark-eyed inhabitants from the devil and the invasion of Europeans.
What does the Turkish Eye protect against?
- It is believed that the Turkish Eye protects people with weak energy especially well. It is perfect for children, pregnant women, and the elderly. In addition, the Turkish Eye is a strong amulet against damage and the evil eye for those people who are constantly in sight or are often in public.
- The Turkish eye protects against the negative influences of surrounding people, and also makes a person’s energy stronger.
- They say that the larger the amulet, the more power it has. However, you should not take this superstition literally, since to protect the Turkish Eye you need to carry it with you, and for this it is advisable to choose a smaller pebble.

Manicure Turkish Flag. Why do they do this type of nail design?
The motivation for creating a similar design on your nails can be different. A manicure with flags can be a manifestation of patriotism or a symbol of love for a certain country where a person dreams of going on vacation. This nail design is often chosen by those girls who go to any competitions as a participant or fan, as well as those who simply want to emphasize their individuality and draw the attention of others to their extraordinary nature.
In most cases, a manicure with flags is not intended for everyday wear, since the colors and their combinations used to create it are most often very bright and contrasting. If you really want to decorate your hands with a manicure with a flag and wear it in everyday life, then you can paint such a patriotic image on only 1-2 nails, and cover the rest with a calmer, neutral varnish.

To create a real oriental manicure, you can resort to using gold-colored acrylic paint, large rhinestones and beads.

A manicure with oriental mosaic will look good on short nails.
Ways to perform manicure in oriental style

If you still find it difficult to draw complex patterns on your nails, you can use stamping plates or special stickers for manicure. This way you will spend less time on nail design and avoid possible design errors.
This method is the most difficult and painstaking. In this case, the master manually draws patterns on the nails using varnishes or acrylic paints different shades. Such work looks like a real work of art, and it takes a lot of time to complete.
This technique has gained great popularity due to its comparative ease of implementation. And the finished manicure looks very elegant and natural. To create it, peacock feathers are used, sealed on the surface of the nails using transparent gel polish.
Oriental ornaments in the traditional style usually consist of lines and plant stems connected in dense spirals. More rare are geometric motifs - triangles and rhombuses. Experienced nail design masters skillfully combine natural and geometric patterns in one design. There are no strict canons here; on the contrary, the uniqueness of the design is highly valued.
Performing oriental manicure at home
You will need:
Having prepared everything you need, you can begin to create an oriental manicure.
Perform a regular manicure to prepare your nails for the design. The quality of preparation directly determines how the coating will look and how long it will last. Be sure to remove the cuticle and remove its remains from the nail plate. You can also use the unedged manicure technique, but under no circumstances should excess skin particles interfere with the application of the coating.
It is equally important to degrease your nails using a special manicure liquid or regular alcohol. If you skip this step, then even if good quality the coating will not last long.
Apply a thin layer of base varnish and dry it.
Leaving the nails of the middle and ring fingers free, cover the rest with red polish. If a standard varnish brush does not have a very convenient shape, and with its help it is not possible to properly paint the area near the cuticle, you will need a thin brush. It can be used to paint over difficult areas, but it is advisable to do this quickly, before the main layer of varnish has dried.
While the red polish dries, apply white polish to the remaining nails. Wait until completely dry. Since white polish serves as a background for a solid slider, the quality of painting of these nails is not so important. But the red varnish must be applied perfectly, so if the first layer shows gaps, apply the second and wait until it dries.
Cut a rectangle from the slider plate slightly larger than your nail. Drop it in warm water for a few seconds. Carefully slide the film off the paper backing while blotting it with a napkin or cotton pad.
Carefully place the slider on the surface of the nail and smooth it out. Usually, excess areas can be removed without problems with a flat brush and a small amount of remover. If this does not work, you can use nail scissors.
Similarly, place sliders on all white nails. Cover them with topcoat and let it dry completely.
If you are afraid that you will not be able to repeat this manicure without outside help, do not worry. In any case, you can contact a nail design specialist or purchase special stickers with nail designs, which are even easier to apply than sliders.
