Extension, gel or classic: what manicure to do in the fall of 2021

The autumn-winter season will not bring any special revelations to the nail industry, but it is always useful to consolidate trends and be inspired by creativity. Now the masters offer so many ideas that it is no longer possible to invent something supernova. It remains to build on dozens and hundreds of amazing examples, try them on yourself, modernize and adapt to your taste.

The modern trend towards naturalness has not bypassed nail art. Now it is fashionable to apply regular or gel polish on your nails. Those who love extensions or are going to try it, of course, should not give up their desires. Especially if the nails are problematic and do not grow normally, but you want the length. The main thing is not to get carried away, so as not to overly weaken and injure the nail plate.

Benefits of gel extensions:

• beautiful glossy shine;

• well-groomed and healthy appearance;

• variety in design;

• resistance to chemistry.

The gel has practically ousted acrylic from the industry, although the latter has its advantages: ease of removal, strength and plasticity. Both materials are similar in chemical composition and it is impossible to say unequivocally which one is better. The choice is yours.

The hit of the season is almond-shaped nails. It is versatile and with it you can realize any idea.Nobody canceled the rest, and if predatory stilettos or unusual shapes like lipstick or bridge are closer to you, go for it! Fashion becomes freer and ceases to dictate conditions, in manicure so for sure.

Autumn and winter are associated with dark, deep and noble shades. From year to year, this trend remains unshakable, but today it can be expanded by the power of creativity, indefatigable imagination and freedom of choice. Perhaps some of the options below will give you new thoughts and inspire you to a brilliant creation.

Spectacular colors of the season. The favorites of the coming coolness are purple, green, blue, red, black, their various shades and combinations. It doesn't matter if it's glossy or matte. Pay attention to olive, emerald, dark turquoise, sapphire, plum, burgundy and cherry. To diversify the range with bright accents, consider yellow and coral colors, glitters and other decor.

Fashionable metal cult. He filled the niches of clothing, accessories and shoes, and confidently entered the nail industry after the cosmic image of Gigi Hadid at the Costume Ball. Mirror reflection is possible not only on silver and golden coatings. Copper, red, pink, yellow, all kinds of dark and bright colors look great in a "metal" style.

Color french. You won’t surprise anyone with a classic French manicure, although it remains a fall 2021 trend. Try experimenting with colors and replace white tips with brighter or darker ones. Red with black, yellow with orange, purple with turquoise, pink with raspberry - there are countless successful combinations.And if you want to make a small but colorful accent, your option is a jacket on a transparent or nude base with an elegant multi-colored line.

Immortal abstraction. Be inspired by the paintings of Kandinsky, Delaunay or Pollock, take a closer look at the street graffiti of your contemporaries, invent original monograms yourself, diving into the depths of your own inventions. Apply color strokes randomly, draw lines, squares and triangles, or decorate each nail with a different pattern. Abstraction is bold nail art without limits and rules.

Maximum naturalness. The ultra-natural style provides for a neat manicure with a light beige or colorless varnish, or no coating at all. The fashion for purity and naturalness is popularized by both star nail service masters and global brands such as Dior, Chanel and Simone Rocha.

Minimalism. This interpretation of the nail aesthetic is somewhere between natural and creative. Especially for those who think a modest nude manicure is too boring, and an abundance of decor and flowers is pretentious. Minimalism is characterized by small decor, tiny patterns (usually only on a few nails), or small splashes of color over a nude or solid color coating.

In fact, as such, there are no trends in today's manicure. You can choose from plant and animal prints, try pastel ombre, draw inspiration from all sorts of thematic areas, use all the colors of the rainbow, or paint the scenes of Monet and Van Gogh paintings on your nails. Freedom of expression is the main trend.
