And so that their appearance attracts and pleases, choose the actual fashionable colors of varnishes. Consider what varnishes will be in trend this year.
Fashion trends
- Of course, the classic will never go out of style.. French and red manicures are considered classic in this area. Agree that such nails look neat and cute. But the world does not stand still, and every year and every season new fashion trends appear.
If earlier French manicure was performed in only one style - the tips of the nails stood out with white varnish, then at the moment it already has varieties:
-
"Millennium" - manicure, in which the tips of the nail plates are covered with glitter;
-
Color - there are two main options for its execution: the nail is covered with a colorless base, and the tip is highlighted in any color, or the nail is covered with a colored base, and the tip is highlighted with one or different contrasting shades;
-
"Fan" - in addition to manicure varnish, additional decorations are used: rhinestones, foil, etc.;
-
non-standard - its distinctive feature is the unusual shape of the outline of the tip of the nail. If in the usual version it is a crescent, then in a non-standard tip it can be in the form of a triangle, rhombus, circle, etc., it all depends on your imagination.
- The opposite of French is moon manicure. Its feature is that the color accent is not on the tip of the nail, but on its base. Shades and types of products used can be any - it all depends on your taste preferences.
- Another hot trend this year is geometry, and combining several shades of varnish. They can be combined as you like, without the risk of making a mistake in choosing. The execution technology can also be different - a transparent or colored varnish is used for the base, the drawing is done by any means - plain, holographic, neon and any other to your taste.
- Monochromatic manicure can also be called classic in some sense.. Nails can be given any color, and it is allowed to use varnishes of any shade and type: matte, glossy, luminous.
- Gradient manicure is becoming more and more fashionable, also called ombre. It can be assumed that the idea of creating it was inspired by the hair coloring technique of the same name.Such a manicure is performed with several varnishes in such a way that a smooth or, conversely, a sharp transition is created between them.
- The most fashionable trend in manicure today is stamping (stamping). A distinctive feature of its application is that the drawing is not created manually by the master, but is printed using a special stamp directly on the nail plate.
Using this technology, you can create a pattern of absolutely any complexity, even if you are not a very good artist.
- Mirror manicure gradually gaining the attention of women. Thanks to him, the nails really sparkle. This effect is achieved using a special technique: the nail plate is rubbed with special pigments, powders and foil.
- A novelty of this season can be called a frame manicure. He is not yet as famous and popular as all the previous ones, but this makes him no less effective and beautiful. Its peculiarity is that the nail plate is, as it were, framed by one shade, and the rest of it is covered with a contrasting color. This manicure looks unusual and attractive.
- Patterned manicure preferred by many women. The technique of its application is very diverse. For the basis of such a manicure, you can take several shades of varnish, and make the patterns whatever you want: geometric lines, smooth abstract patterns, or even draw flowers and animals.
No one forbids fashionistas to experiment and combine various types and techniques in their manicure. For example, you can combine french with moon manicure, or frame manicure with gradient. Do not limit your imagination and desire to look beautiful.
In addition to covering the nail plate, its shape plays an important role.Today, the trend is naturalness and naturalness, so the shape of the nail should be oval or similar. As for the length, long claws gradually fade into the background, giving way to short ones.
Shade palette
Manicure should always be elegant and fashionable. With its views, everything is more or less clear. Now let's turn our attention to an equally important question: what colors are the most relevant today.
- Matte lacquers have long gained popularity. It is worth remembering that they are very picky and the nail plate for their application must be carefully prepared, since any unevenness will only be emphasized when applying such a tool. The most requested colors are navy blue, black, classic red, purple, emerald and marsala. They will look great both with a monochromatic manicure and if used as a base.
Despite the dark shades, they are perfect for any season and will look good in combination with other colors.
- Magnetic polishes are the latest in nail polishes.. They contain special metal microparticles that attract a pattern from magnetic strips. The palette of such funds is very diverse. Nails with dark varnish look spectacular or with cat's eye effect - creates a feeling of velvet on the nails.
- metallic effect special gel polishes will be created on your nails. A manicure with a silver coating will be interesting to shimmer and attract attention. An alternative to metallic shades will be glitter varnishes. They look no less impressive, and if your manicure accidentally suffers, it will not be so noticeable.
Design Ideas
- For those who are not used to being in the shadows and want to stand out always and in everything, you should pay attention to the varnish, which glows in the dark. In normal daylight, their secret is not visible - they look like the most ordinary coatings. But one has only to be in the dark, as they play with their colors. But it should be remembered that there are some differences between similar varnishes. If you have taken a product with the inscription "neon”, then your manicure will be visible in ultraviolet light. "Phosphoric» varnish shimmers with a greenish-blue color. "Luminescent» - glows in any room with dimmed or switched off lights.
It should be remembered that the glow of the manicure will be short-lived, so the nails will have to be “recharged” from time to time near any light source.
- fuchsia color definitely worth a try this season. Pink color with a lilac tint - this is how you can characterize this varnish. It will look great on nails of any length and shape.
- Flesh opaque shades from light milky to pale pink are still relevant. They are suitable for any look and style, and they can be combined with almost any other shades. But they look especially impressive for owners of fair skin and lovers of romantic images.
- Do not rush to discount the delicate white color. A classic jacket is simply impossible without it. And light pearl shades will look great with a monochromatic manicure.
Women's hands have always been distinguished by subtlety and grace. A manicure makes them neat and completes the style.. In addition, hands can tell many secrets about the representative of the beautiful half of humanity, and some of them should not be voiced, and a quality manicure will help hide them. Interesting ways to design marigolds will not leave indifferent any woman and everyone will be able to choose an option for themselves.
To please yourself with beautiful nails, you can go to the salon, where the master will listen to all your wishes and make you a manicure. And you just have to choose a design, shades of varnish and enjoy the process. If you do not want to go to a specialist, you can do a manicure yourself. You can enroll in courses where experienced craftsmen will tell you the secrets of a particular design, share their experience and teach everything they know in practice.
You can sign up for manicure lessons. Thanks to the training, you will be able to design your own nails according to your desire. But the result obtained can differ significantly from the salon.
French manicure used to seeing with the usual clear varnish at the base and white edging from the edge. Can i dilute with bright colors into the base or with an unusual shape of the tip of the nail, or apply everything at once and you will not recognize your pens!
For the summer, a good manicure idea would be light pastel shade of lacquer in combination with gold. Perhaps it will be a pattern made with a golden hue, or perhaps just gold sparkles or rhinestones - the result will be simply magnificent. Such a manicure will look excellent on untanned skin, and tanned ladies will add tenderness to their image.
Drawings will refresh any manicure, even with the simplest varnish. If you do not know what to depict on your nails, then use one of the following options:
- abstract smooth lines;
- zigzags;
- lines and stripes;
- flowers or animals;
- letters or inscriptions.
Creative nail design can be created using splashes, spots and blots made by a colored bright shade. On top of this manicure, you can add small rhinestones and beads. But do not confuse it with a dot manicure. To create it, dots of different sizes are carefully applied to the nail plate. geometric drawings, like mosaic details scattered over the nail, they will add extravagance to the image.
You can draw them yourself, or you can use stencils, which are sold in a large assortment in stores.
- For those who like to bewitch with their mysteryshould pay attention to the design "cat's eye effect" - He is able to charm and fall in love with himself at a glance. An interesting solution would be a manicure with voluminous varnish, which creates the so-called 3D effect.
- Try to choose several shades of varnish and make a manicure with a transition from one tone to another.: you want from dark to light, you want, on the contrary, from light to dark. This design can be supplemented with a small rhinestone on one or more nails, or alternate varnish transitions.
- Stylish, catchy and noticeable will look metal nails. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to cover the whole with such varnish, you can make metal patterns in the form of stripes, or you can tint part of the nail plate with a metallic shade, and make the other part matte or glossy.
- Manicure with "negative space" means that some part of the nail plate remains unpainted with varnish, empty. And it doesn’t matter at all what size this part is, where it is located on the nail and what shades of varnish are chosen for the painted part.Quite a bold and interesting decision that will clearly attract attention.
- glass nails, or as they are also called "broken glass". The secret of this design lies in the fact that special stickers are applied to the nail, cut into arbitrary pieces. You can stick them on the whole nail or part of it. Rhinestones or beads will help to emphasize the shine of the stickers.
If you want everything at once, then feel free to experiment and create your own unique design to give your hands maximum grace and beauty.
- Stamping, or stamping, has become a new trend in nail design. You can buy a stamping kit in the store and follow the instructions. Apply a base shade to the nail plate, and then use a stamp to transfer the desired pattern. In this case, you can choose absolutely any pattern of complexity. At the end of the manicure, apply a protective coating on the nail.
- At first glance, an absolutely insane design is a manicure "nails-balls". It is suitable for girls with short nails. It is not difficult to make it, it is enough to apply a large amount of gel on the nail plate to give it the shape of a ball, and then apply varnish. If you like everything new, then feel free to try to make yourself such a manicure.
- Another very peculiar type of manicure is fur. Its essence lies in the fact that pieces of natural or artificial fur are glued onto the nail plate. You can paste them over the entire nail, or you can close a certain area.
If you are not afraid of experiments with extravagance, then decide on such a design.
Which to choose
There are so many different options for how to decorate your hands with a manicure that choosing something specific is quite difficult. To choose exactly your manicure, indicate the parameters that are most important to you.
- The shape and length of the nails. Today, the trend is oval shape and medium length. But if you are an ardent fan of spiky ones and are not ready to change their shape, then try to visually smooth out sharp corners with a French manicure. The rectangular shape looks great on long, thin fingers, and in this case, you should not change their shape. Oval visually lengthens, which will be a big plus for those who cannot or do not want to grow their nails.
- Color. It should match your look. You should not choose bright flashy shades if you adhere to a strict classic look. However, monotony is no longer as relevant as before, so more and more often two or more matching colors are chosen for manicure.
But don't overload your manicure with too many colors. The right shade of lacquer will complete the look.
- Decorations. Decide what you would like to see on your hands as decorative elements. Perhaps you want to decorate them with rhinestones or beads, or perhaps you are only interested in patterns and patterns. The main thing is that the jewelry should be in moderation so that the fingers do not look overloaded, otherwise the nails will immediately lose their natural and natural look.
To avoid this, you can focus on only one finger, most often the ring finger is chosen for this. By the way, the vertical pattern visually lengthens even the shortest nails.
- Execution technique. Choose the design you like: french, moon, metallic, etc. It should be remembered that for each season the design will be different. This is due to the fact that our images change with the onset of a warm or cold season.
- Care. Do not forget to properly care for your hands: remove the regrown cuticle, use hand cream.
It should be noted that a good and well-chosen manicure will emphasize your style. In addition, men like the neat design. They are unlikely to remember its color, but they will definitely remember their impression. By the way, the opinion that the stronger sex prefers ladies with long nails is erroneous. Most men consider long “claws” too vulgar and sharp, but the average length of the nail plate, in their opinion, is the most optimal.
And if we are talking about men's looks, then we add that they prefer to see elegant designs, rather than extravagant and crazy.
Stylish manicure at home
Usually at home, the whole process of manicure does not take much time - we just remove the cuticle and paint the nails with varnish. But this approach is not correct. Home nail care should be more comprehensive. There are practically no difficulties in this:
- Initially, you need to prepare everything that you may need: manicure kit, essential oil (ylang-ylang or lemon), vitamin oil, sea salt, container, orange sticks, towel or napkins, cotton pads, warm water, nail polish remover, hydrogen peroxide or other antibacterial agent (in case if a wound occurs in the process).
- Remove nail polish residueusing cotton pads soaked in a special liquid. Pour non-hot water into a container, dissolve a couple of tablespoons of sea salt and a few drops of oil. Soak your hands in water for a few minutes to soften the skin a little. Dry your hands lightly with paper towels or towels. Using an orange stick or a special spatula from a manicure set gently push the cuticle away from the base of the nail plate. Do this procedure on the fingers of both hands.
- When the cuticle is pushed back, take the tweezers from the set, carefully and slowly pinch it off.
If suddenly you cut off a large piece of skin, then injury may occur. In this case, immediately treat it with a cotton pad soaked in peroxide or other antibacterial agent to stop a possible infection from entering the body. Stop the bleeding, disinfect all nails with the product and continue the procedure.
- With the same tweezers that removed the cuticle, gently remove the rough skin around the nail. Using a nail file and special nippers give your nails the desired shape. The nail plate should be filed in one specific direction, because if you saw them from side to side, you can easily break the structure of the nails, which can lead to their delamination, and over time make them thin and brittle.
- After the cuticle and rough skin are removed, it is necessary to gently massage the area around the nail plate with vitamin oil, and then remove the remaining oil from the surface with nail polish remover. This completes the process of preparing hands for applying varnish, but home manicure continues. It remains to apply varnish to make the desired design.
We offer you the simplest and most beautiful options that are easy to make at home.
- Matte manicure. It is very expensive and looks spectacular on oval nails. To make it, you can purchase a ready-made matte product in a special store, or a matting coating for any other varnish.Then it remains only to apply it evenly on your nails, wait until it dries completely and finish the whole procedure on this. Or you can cheat and do a matte manicure at home without using such store products. To do this, you need a regular plain nail polish without sparkles and other additives and pairs. In this case, the process of creating haze on the nails will look like this:
-
Boil the water in a saucepan or other open container;
-
Apply a single color varnish on nails;
-
Keep your nails for a couple of minutes over the steam at a distance of about 15 centimeters.
Manicure is ready. You can decorate your nails with rhinestones or a beautiful pattern with a contrasting glossy varnish.

- Lace manicure. Salon-like manicure is performed using thermal stickers. But at home, this procedure can be carried out with improvised means, which are lace trimmings. You will need: pieces of lace, scissors, basic varnish, transparent varnish, toothpicks. The process of creating a lace design will have the following sequence:
-
Prepare lace for each nail plate taking into account the length and shape;
-
Apply varnish evenly on the nail for the base of the manicure;
-
After a couple of seconds place lace on the entire nail with toothpicks;
-
Apply on the nail with lace clear nail polish for fastening;
-
Do all the same procedures on the remaining nails;
