Exciting and gentle, enchanting and fashionable - this is all about lilac manicure, which in 2022 will appear before fashionistas in all its splendor. This shade owes its origin to the mixing of restrained blue and rich red colors. Moreover, by changing the proportions in favor of one or another color, you can get a variety of variations of lilac. This manicure will be a great addition to both a formal and everyday look. It looks wonderful in any situation and also goes well with many techniques and decor. We will describe below what nail design ideas in lilac tones have become a trend for 2022.
Features and design options
Purple color is considered a buffer color, which is highly compatible. This manicure is suitable both as an option for every day and for an original evening look.
This color looks neutral, but is not as cliche and overused as red or pink. Therefore, covering with purple varnish will add brightness, but at the same time make the image discreet and elegant.
Advice. When choosing purple lipstick and clothing, it is better to choose cool colors. The worst look is the combination of purple and warm scarlet.
As numerous photos of purple manicure show, all kinds of designs can be used here:
- Options for French and moon manicure
- Combination with camouflage varnish
- Using magnetic cat eye gel will add mystery
- Application of tops of different textures: matte and glossy
- Addition of gold or silver foil, rhinestones and kamifubuki.
Advice. For everyday manicure, silver foil is better suited. For an evening look, the most successful would be a combination of bright golden shiny materials and a rich purple tone.
A new feature in purple manicure for 2022 is the use of special velvet powder, which makes the gel coating similar to real velor. It looks very warm, gentle and exotic, especially in combination with glossy patterns.
Fashion trends in lilac manicure
Lilac marigolds cannot be classified as something new and unfamiliar. However, we should not forget that any nail art can be transformed, changed and improved, as a result of which the method of manicure design that has already become a little boring over several seasons looks updated, fresh, stylish, and again takes its place on the list of trends.
In 2022, a lilac manicure can change according to the mood of its owner. To create it, you can use a rich, deep and almost purple tone, or vice versa, give preference to a more delicate and airy shade.
Among the improved ideas are previously familiar techniques, a chic interpretation of French nails, velvety matte nails, as well as magnificent combinations of lilac with pink, white, yellow, which can be played up in any way, and of course nail design with patterns, sparkles and rhinestones. Are we in a hurry to replenish our personal collection?

Lilac manicure: trends 2021-2022
One of the trends of the season is oriental and laconic white patterns.
These could be Turkish cucumbers or unusual combinations of shapes and geometric abstractions. The main thing is not to overdo it. It is enough to add them to one or two nails. This way the manicure will turn out to be more interesting, but at the same time it will not look overloaded. Polka dots also continue to be popular. © manufaktura_paznokci_kielce
Another trend this year is a combination of different shades. Don't be afraid that purple and pink won't go together. In summer, any pastel shades will be a good addition to your look: be it a flowy dress with a floral pattern or a strict office set.

Manicure for short nails
A manicure in purple tones will make short nails neat and elegant. Dark or purple shades are especially suitable for this shape. They will highlight the nail plate, making it chiseled and neat. At the same time, your fingers will look a little more elongated and well-groomed.
Another option for short nails is to combine colors on different fingers. With a dark background, 1-2 fingers can be highlighted in lilac or pink. Or make a French jacket with a purple smile zone in the negative space.
Important! Light pink or lilac tones on short nails should be used carefully. Otherwise, they can make the plate visually wide and spade-shaped. A contrasting jacket can create the same optical illusion.
Options for an elegant French design for short nails:
- Combination of matte and glossy top
- Combination of moon manicure and French manicure with a dark background
- Using sparkles and rhinestones for the smile area
- Highlighting the smile area with an additional strip of glitter along the border of the flowers
A geometric design made of vertical contrasting stripes and rhinestones looks stylish on short nails.

For medium nails
The purple color will perfectly highlight the elegant medium length. This color looks especially feminine on oval or almond-shaped nails.
Medium Length Purple Design Ideas:
- Using white painting on a lilac or purple background
- Painting with curls with glossy varnish on a matte top
- The use of unusual textures: contrasting spider web varnish, cracked varnish
- Creating accents with rhinestones: several rhinestones at the base of the nail, 1-3 rhinestones at the tip of the nail, or a foil strap and rhinestones
- Colored rhinestones: gold, rainbow or lilac.
Bronze or silver antique wear looks original on a purple background. You can achieve this effect using regular wax: rub the nail with it, then file it off a little and cover it with glitter varnish. After this, you need to remove the wax and cover the resulting pattern with a transparent top.
The average length of nails is a very fertile field for a French manicure. Smile areas of any depth and curve will look elegant here. These can be thin strips of 1 mm, or a wide area of 3-4 mm.
Important! The smile area on all nails should be the same size and curve. And its width should be combined with the size of the hole, in case of addition with a lunar manicure.

If you find yourself getting frequent manicures due to chipped nail polish at the edges of your nails, you should try an ombre look that goes from a glossy purple to silver or gold glitter at the edges of your nails.

For long nails
Long nails are the perfect platform for a trendy purple manicure. Bright lilac, dark purple or soft lilac colors will perfectly emphasize the length of the nails.
This color looks especially elegant on pointed or almond-shaped tips. For a square shape, it is better to choose smoother lilac shades.
Ideas for design on long nails:
- A combination of purple glossy or matte tone with lilac, gold or silver rubbing
- Using a white to violet, lilac to violet, or rub-in gradient
- Amber effect with bright colors: yellow, lemon or peach
- Using negative space. Camouflage polish looks beautiful either in a simple combination with purple or with additions in the form of rhinestones or foil.
- Highlighting several nails with foil.
- Use of rhinestones and other decorations.
Advice. Rhinestones on long nails must be used very carefully. If you place too many pebbles on the tips of the nail, it will overload it, which creates a high risk of breaking.
French on long nails should be used carefully. The smile area should not exceed a width of 4 mm, otherwise the tip of the nail will look overgrown and bulky. The most successful color combination for long nails is camouflage polish or a combination of similar shades of purple.
Trendy new lilac manicure 2022 in delicate colors
The popularity of using light lilac shades, including delicate lavender, lilac, orchid color, thistle or light violet, allows us to emphasize the tenderness and fragility of female nature, since all such shades can hardly be called bright, much less catchy. They are wonderful for complementing an everyday look and will show themselves perfectly in a more formal situation.
Plain nails, manicures with decorations, manicures with pearlescent polish, shiny fragments, neat designs and simple geometric compositions are just some of the various design ideas that will perfectly complement delicate lilac shades.

It is convenient to experiment on a large area of nail plates, using various techniques, combinations, using flashy and large decorations. Gradient shimmers and glitter stretches look especially advantageous.
Tropical luxury
When going on vacation, most girls consider it necessary to “clean their feathers,” or, in other words, to do all the necessary cosmetic procedures. Which, of course, includes a manicure. And of course, when you go to distant lands by the sea, you want to forget about a boring beige manicure and finally allow yourself a bright and rich color of varnish. If you are just getting ready for a vacation, then the next manicure is definitely for you.
This yellow and purple nail design is most preferred for medium to above average lengths. If you don't have that length, then it's time to try extensions. A nail design master will extend your nails to any shape and length using acrylic or gel, at your discretion. The entire procedure takes about two hours. Apart from creating yellow and purple nail designs.
Another trendy technique used in this manicure is gradient. That is, a smooth transition from one color to another. In this case, from yellow to purple. When creating a gradient, ordinary colored gel polishes and a special sponge are used. With its help, a soft flow of one color into another is obtained.
Cute palm trees and seagulls are created using black gel polish and a thin brush for painting on nails. And the rhinestone pattern will add brightness to the manicure; it shimmers beautifully under the sun’s rays.
