Examples of beautiful manicure designs

The desire of a woman to express herself, to show her individuality is quite natural. I want to be special and attractive to everyone. Often in the search for the most stylish look, attention falls on details and, as an option, on a manicure. Nail art has become a special kind of art today. And if you approach the choice of design correctly, the result will not be long in coming. The material of this article will tell you about what is fashionable in nail art today, what are the current colors and shapes of nails, and also about many other things.

A modern look at nail trends opens up a lot of opportunities for adding notes of high status and sophistication to your bow. The approach of the new season will be marked by a focus on minimalism in everything. This is the decor, and the number of different textures in the design, and even the number of shades. It was not for nothing that the fashion chose this particular solution: getting rid of the variegation, the design acquires expressiveness.

Fashion proposes to turn to the careful choice of the basic tone and carefully think over the coatings that would look with it not only harmoniously, but also appropriate.It is important that the design is suitable for a specific purpose, and this can be done only by getting rid of all that is superfluous. The tones chosen should be noble and muted. Moreover, their degree of saturation can be completely different, like the temperature of the tone.

Seasonality of design has become a new trend. This necessarily belongs to a certain time of the year or even a specific month. Festive designs are also welcome: New Year, Christmas, March, as well as various marshmallow themes for Valentine's Day. Seasonality should be expressed not only in the choice of shades, it is important to point to it through decor or drawing.

For example, for some celebrations it can be inlaid with stones, opals, Swarovski crystals and liquid stones are in fashion. Pebbles can and should be used to decorate a design for a publication, for a wedding, a gala event. But this must be done correctly, because not every holiday needs to cover the nails with solid inlay. Point arrangement of sparkling decor is fashionable. Let's say it looks better in the amount of a few tiny pieces in the cuticle area than on the entire nail.

The innovation was the reduction in the number of accents and the definition of their places. The best option is considered to be the accent of manicure on the nails of the ring fingers. Such designs are distinguished by the expressiveness of the design due to its contrast with the main background. If two accents are not enough, they are increased to three or four, performing the design on the adjacent (middle) nail plates.

A fashionable design option today is a compositional design or print located on two (less often three) adjacent nails. At the same time, it is important that when performing a compositional drawing (for example, a cityscape, sketches of a night city, a girl with dandelion umbrellas), the main background is visible. It is this nuance that determines the ease of design, which is what the basis of fashion trends strives for.

The favorites among the decorative material have been determined. Today, these are a variety of powders that can be used to change the original type of texture of the coating used. This is acrylic powder and rubbing. With regard to the latter, it is worth highlighting the varieties "mermaid" (pearl with overflows), "May beetle" (under the shell of an insect) and "northern lights" (the effect of iridescent overflows).

One of the trends is the yuka mica flake material. With its help, you can diversify any type of surface, while the effect of the material will vary depending on the intensity of processing of the working coating. Holographic letters are popular, Japanese kamifubuki have been elevated to the cult, which can modify any technique of manicure. Coatings with various unusual effects (flowering, stained-glass windows) are relevant.

Creative directions in design are included in a separate linethat are able to please and surprise even the most shocking fashionistas. Despite the fact that a separate branch cannot be called convenient in everyday life, this design is so creative that it becomes a catchy object of everyone's attention. This is an unusual shape (bubble, nails-teeth, daggers, fingernails), and strange decor (noses with mustaches, faces with hair, pieces of fur, pom-poms, LEDs, small insects).

This season, the choice of one or another contrast solution will depend on the season. In this case, the saturation of shades can be very diverse. For example, bright and dark colors of the palette are especially relevant now. This is necessarily wine and burgundy, emerald and eggplant, plum and marsala.These tones bring notes of luxury and high status to the bow.

The nude scale is considered especially relevant today. Shades of beige and pink are an excellent basis for design in different techniques. In addition, nude goes well with any color of the palette, be it a light pigment or a bright and rich contrast. Its combination with neutral colors of the palette (white, black and gray) is also relevant. In addition, nude tones look good with shimmer (silver and gold), such combinations are at the peak of their popularity today.

Depending on the chosen manicure technique, related tones of the same color can be used in the design. For example, this is the principle used today to create a gradient from finger to finger. The discrepancies between the tones should be small so that the design has a smooth stretch of shades against the general background. The use of contrasting combinations of three tones is also allowed.

The actual contrast today is the duo of gray-pink and powdery (or white). At the same time, to soften the contrast on a white background, a drawing is almost always performed using the leading shade of a manicure. It is fashionable to combine red with white, powder with bronze covering the black substrate. If, at the same time, a matte coating with a velor effect is used as a base, then such a design will not only be high-profile, but also ultra-fashionable.

In order not to rack your brains in search of the most stylish combination, you can resort to the spectacular options that fashion offers. For example, the combinations will look pretty nice:

• nude and black veil;
• black with turquoise beige print;
• pink with blue and satin rub;
• lavender with pale pink and mint;
• black with greenish-blue holography;
• pink with lilac accents;
• white with blue contrast;
• cold and warm pink;
• black with green and white print;
• creamy with lilac;
• coral with peach and black;
• emerald with black print;
• marsal with black;
• eggplant with powdery accents.

The popularity of powdery shades is due to their soft softening of any tone. Without too much clamor, they balance the contrast, making it more interesting and elegant. That is why powdery tones are more relevant today in duets than combinations of the same bright colors with white. As for black, it can be added to any paint, but at the same time it is necessary to assess the amount of dark pigment, because when there is little of it, it gives off a background companion, and with a large amount it suppresses the color varnish.

Popular pastel shades. These are light pink, blue, lilac, cream, milky tones. Besides them, the popular shades are light mint and turquoise. Often they are combined into one design, which looks quite nice and fresh. Of the bright colors, raspberries and the color of fresh greens are also worth noting. By the way, green shades are gaining great popularity today. In winter, they are chosen mainly in cold tones, warm ones will be more appropriate in summer.

The new season pleases modern fashionistas with the fact that we have finally returned to smooth outlines and medium length. More recently, fashionistas had to rush between short and long options. This made it difficult to choose a harmonious shade, since it sometimes looked defiant on long nails. Today, fashion suggests choosing a middle ground, considering that the ideal length of the grown edge of the nail is 0.5-0.7 cm.

Indeed, this length is convenient in everyday life, it is more resistant to brittleness and injury. And if you can't grow your nails, you can resort to extension. Today, this procedure is of sufficient quality and allows you to get marigolds of the desired shape due to the use of the desired type of forms or tips.It will be possible to wear artificial nails without correction for about 2-3 weeks (depending on the growth rate of the nail plates).

As for the form, the fashion has chosen its favorites, inviting its fans, keeping their finger on the pulse of new trends, to choose their version from the top three. Marigolds in the shape of a rounded square are recognized as the best type. They look aesthetically pleasing and beautiful. On the basis of this form, it is possible to perform all manicure techniques without exception, including the classics, two varieties of service jacket, the option with holes, gradient, powder, veil, broken glass.

The same can be said for almond-shaped marigolds, which have triumphantly returned to fashion this season. Their smooth edges blend in with any technique and theme. This opens up a lot of possibilities for creating designs tailored to a specific clothing style and purpose. Today, almonds are quite feminine, they have a rounded tip, which is good in everyday life. Such nails will not cling to objects, and this is important for the wear of the coating.

Third place went to oval nails. Today, they are recognized as indisputable classics that suit most women and do not force them to limit themselves in choosing one or another manicure design. In addition, the round shape of the edge is quite feminine, which is especially important for the image of a modern woman. All known design techniques are available for oval nails; this shape visually ennobles not only the nail plates, but also the fingers themselves.

Among the wide variety, fashion offers its fans a number of options with an emphasis on the classics. This line can conditionally include classic solutions for every day and designs that refuse abundant decoration. Today, fashion has many tools through which you can make even an ordinary classic manicure status, which is a laconic dyeing of nails in one color.

For example, it can be a smooth stretch of a gradient. Moreover, you can move away from the prevailing stereotypes and perform not only the vertical or horizontal version, but also the transition from nail to nail. If it seems boring, you can indulge yourself with a laconic design in the form of a modest geometric figure with a stretch of selected shades located inside it. Such a design will look mega-cool, despite all its simplicity.

You can rub a satin rub into the glossy coating, which will not so much smooth the surface of all marigolds, but will ennoble it with a weightless veil, reducing the usual glossy shine. Rubbing in can also ennoble the jacket, which today is equated to classic designs and confidently keeps on the crest of a fashionable wave from its very inception, and this is today for 40 years. You can apply a light pearlescent veil on the transparent coat of the jacket.

An insanely beautiful design is considered to be a reverse jacket with a velvety texture and a thin smile line that extends from the base of the nail plate and almost to its very top. A manicure with a play of textures with the same background color and contrast is also considered a laconic, but very effective design. In this case, you can take a matte gel polish as a basis, and make a smile with a gloss. This design looks unrealistically beautiful and impressive in the women's set.

You can take a jacket as a basis and make it with unusual types of gel polish. For example, the design of a jacket with a base in the form of a magnetic gel polish will turn out to be very bright and high-status. A smile at him can be done with a glossy pigment a couple of tones brighter than the selected background. Even in black, such a manicure will fascinate the eyes of others.

If you want something more spectacular, you can use stained glass coatings that can create an effect of depth. Despite the fact that they are more often used for design accents, applied in a thin layer over a dark substrate, they will look very catchy.By the way, these coatings can be combined with each other over a dark substrate, thereby creating an ombre effect, which is considered one of the trends in design today.

Decorating nails with different techniques allows you to decorate the design and convey the mood of a woman. Decor tools for this season are very diverse, from powder materials and all kinds of sugars to dried flowers, small seashells, confetti and even ordinary sand.

Judging by the fact that the most expensive manicure today is the option with hand painting, it is she who is considered the best way to add the desired theme to the design. Moreover, such drawings are always unique and do not have repetitions. As a rule, artistic painting involves the implementation of the main drawing and two secondary ones, through which they create a connection between the accent and the background of the rest of the nails. If we talk about the subject matter, then these are necessarily animal prints and birds of paradise, such drawings are at the peak of their popularity today.

Mega-effective painting with water-based artistic watercolors. With its help, professionals of the nail service create real masterpieces of a tiny size, which are not inferior to the paintings of many artists. A very popular design is floral and plant themes. At the same time, to create an effect of lightness, the master only in some places emphasizes the contours of the drawing, using for this not one, but several tones of various dark colors.

Technique with a spreading effect is in demand. Such accents are created through a special base and similar varnishes. Nail art is made from simple lines, dots and commas. In this case, the blooming effect can be stopped in the lamp, having achieved the desired result. After stroking some of the contours and adding rhinestones, the print takes on a special look.

A super popular design option is created through a slider design. These are water pictures with different (colored or transparent) backgrounds that can cover the entire surface of the accent nail or a small part of it. The best and perhaps the most stylish options for such a decor today are diagonal checks with silver, dream catchers, ethnic ornaments, a variety of lace and nets with curls. The Scandinavian theme of patterns and geometry, mehendi and dot prints are relevant.

One of the most stylish design techniques is geometry made in the technique of negative space. Such a manicure involves decorating accent nail plates directly over the unpainted part of the nail. It looks especially beautiful if the design uses the texture of bronze or silver. You can decorate your nails with rhinestones on a transparent background, mixing them with broths for greater aesthetics of the inlay.

One of the most effective means of decoration is transfer or tear-off foil. It can help you create unique nail designs. At the same time, this type of foil is very harmonious in combination with a slider design in the form of an applique with a transparent backing. You can use foil for a manicure design made in different techniques.

To date, fashion has provided a stylistic approach to design for different age groups, not ignoring youth subcultures. For example, you can decorate nails in the theme of glamor, retro, gothic. With regards to the latter option, it is worth considering his craving for everything bright and catchy. This is exactly the case when a bunch of prints and vibrant colors are considered the peak of perfection.

Gothic design, opposing everything with its visual depression, adheres to dark and even gray-black tones with a gloomy theme of drawings. These are skulls (often for some reason decorated with flowers, daggers and snakes), strange images of cemeteries, spiders, cobwebs, birds on a gray background, certain symbolism.The solution, of course, is not the most feminine and attractive, but such a design today has its fans.

Kawaii themes are mega-demanded among young people, characterized by a craving for everything pretty. This manifests itself in the choice of shades and patterns. As for the tones, these are often pastel or so-called marshmallow shades (pink, lilac, bluish, mint). The prints of this design are also specific: sometimes they are completely doll-like. These are all kinds of sweets, kittens, bears, pandas, emoticons, bunnies, drawings in the style of cute anime chibi characters with a big head, small arms, legs and a torso. A feature of this design is the low dosage of accents. Sometimes there are five or more of them in the design, and characters that are not related to each other can be depicted on each nail.

Speaking of youth design, one cannot fail to mention logomania. Today it is a trend in youth manicure, which indicates the high status of its owner among her peers. Often, a seemingly laconic logo of a certain brand works real wonders, pulling the most common monochromatic solution to a high level. Indeed, even a couple of letters of a certain trademark, inlaid with just one rhinestone or crystal, encourages a new look at such a design.

Among other designs, it should be noted that there are options with a school or student bias. Nails decorated with mathematical or other formulas, letters, some kind of inscriptions, hieroglyphs look very stylish and impressive. They attract the eyes of others, which is popular with fashionistas who love to be in the spotlight.

I really like teenage girls, and adult girls, the theme of various hearts, love stories, made on the nails. It is created using prints or a slider design. In addition to her, young people prefer to use fimo in their design (decorative elements cut from a long stick, for example, in the form of tiny fruits). Also, modern youth manicure tends to copy the design of accessories or even some specific items (say, a beautiful hand with a pattern, a handbag, shoe decor or even an elastic band for hair).

Nothing will demonstrate the beauty and possibilities of manicure design more than illustrative examples. Let's turn to the best ideas that can inspire you to create your masterpiece.

• A very bright design with stars on an orange background will adorn the bow of an extraordinary youth personality. The matte texture of the main coating brings a special status to the design.

• Unusual moon manicure for summer with a butterfly accent on a flesh background and tiny black rhinestones. Lightness is conveyed through the technique of negative space. A simple pattern on the main background and a realistic print raise the status of the design.

• A striking ombre in the shade of eggplant is complemented by just one accent in the form of inlaid plate with sparkling crystals.

• An incredibly feminine design with a molded volumetric flower in the same color as the background. The design was complemented by a gradient effect created using acrylic powder.

• Beautiful design in Marsala color with floral motif and dotted rhinestones.

When performing this or that design, it is important to think over every detail of the design. Particular attention must be paid to making it look professional, this is its aesthetics and status. Whatever you choose as the basis for the decor (draw a picture or glue a slider, print with a stamp or decorate your nail with a regular sticker), you need to do it carefully. In addition, it is important to consider the combination of decor.

For example, rhinestones will not always look beautiful with multi-colored confetti or, say, shimmery gel polishes. Sequins are good on their own; such decor will compete with stones, which will ultimately cause a fashion failure. If the emphasis is on a matte texture, there is no need to contrast it too sharply with an abundance of gloss, and even complicate it with a large pattern. You should not layer one decor on top of another or create thematic drawings on this principle. As a rule, the complexity of such accents will deprive the design of its expressiveness.
