Benefits of gel polish
Although gel polish appeared on the Russian market relatively recently, it managed to immediately win over an entire army of fans, which is not surprising: the material combines the best qualities of gel for extensions and nail polish.
So what exactly are the benefits of gel polish?
Persistence. While regular polish lasts on nails from 2 to 5 days, gel polish lasts on nails from 2 weeks to a month.
The coating not only remains on the nail for a long time, but also does not lose its attractiveness over time: it does not wear off at the ends, does not chip with frequent contact with water and does not lose its attractive glossy shine. This is an undeniable advantage for women who do not have the opportunity to update their manicure every day.
Nail protection. A nail plate coated with gel polish is reliably protected from the effects of water, household chemicals, nail polish removers and other adverse factors. This gives your nails time to rest and recover, which visibly strengthens them and gives them a healthy appearance.
Low price. Although coating nails with gel polish is much more expensive than regular nail polish, the effect of the durable material lasts many times longer, which ultimately becomes more profitable than constantly adjusting the manicure.
Width of application area. Gel polish, unlike acrylic, does not thicken nails, which allows it to be used for the design of short or wide nails.
Improving the appearance and shape of the nail. Using gel polish is the best solution for those with uneven or excessively thin nail plates.
Safety. Unlike regular polish, gel polish does not contain toxic formaldehyde, the vapors of which are a strong carcinogen.
Due to the absence of this component, the gel polish does not have the persistent unpleasant odor inherent in ordinary nail polishes.
Possibility of attaching volumetric elements. Thanks to some properties of the coating, it is very easy to attach rhinestones, glitter or bouillons to it, which allows you to bring to life many ideas for manicure with gel polish.
White
White manicure can rightfully be considered the most elegant and most solemn, suitable for exceptional occasions. It is not without reason that almost all brides choose this color for the main day of their lives. However, white nail designs are great for daily wear as well. Many girls are looking for more and more white nail designs. We present a selection of the best for February 2019:
Compound
To obtain a high-quality product, the creators of gel polish experimented a lot with its composition.
As a result, the main set of components was developed, thanks to which the gel polish has its outstanding properties. The film former is responsible for the durability of the coating; it is what is included in the extension gel.
To speed up the drying process, a photoinitiator was introduced into the composition, which accelerates the polymerization reaction.

To adjust the consistency of the material, a special active diluent was included in it, and various pigments were included to add color.
In addition to the main components, other additives may be indicated on the packaging - they serve to impart special properties - elasticity, shine or other properties.
New No. 1 – Fiberglass extension
It seems that we had only recently learned to work with acrylic, when suddenly a fresh, interesting material appeared on the market. It is called fiberglass for nail extensions (FiberGlass). Once again, masters have to master new techniques. Its main advantage is saving time. According to many bloggers who have already been the first to try this new product, working with fiberglass is quick, convenient and pleasant. In addition, the nails turn out very thin and neat. However, there is also a minus. Fiberglass is attached only to the natural nail and essentially continues its natural shape. Therefore, there is no need to talk about any correction and modeling of the appearance of the nail plate. Extended nails will have your natural shape, only they will become longer. Therefore, this technique is suitable for girls with initially beautiful, but not very long nails.
How to increase?
We prepare the nails: we work with the cuticle, file it (leaving a little free edge), roughen the surface and degrease it. Prepare the material for extensions: cut the tape into pieces and lightly roll it out with an orange stick. The width of the canvas should approximately coincide with the width of the nail plate. Next, cover the nails with primer and base. Then comes a thin layer of gel or thick base, onto which the fiber will be attached. Next, we take a fiberglass blank with tweezers, place it just above the side ingrowth points of the nail plate (i.e., the beginning of attaching the fiberglass plate should be the middle of the nail), lightly embed the fibers into the gel and before drying, carefully seal the ends of the fibers on the nail with the gel. Next, cut off the excess and align the nail plate from above and below. In this case, the brush should be parallel to the nail, literally “lying” on it.
Fiberglass nail extensions look very sophisticated. They turn out nude and translucent. A great option for a casual jacket or a light spring design.
Trends – 2019
Nail technicians use all the capabilities of gel polish to create real masterpieces. Some of the techniques are most in demand this season. Which manicure gel and polish to choose in 2019?
Main trends in fashionable spring manicure 2022
Beautiful and well-groomed nails were, are and will be in fashion. To the delight of lovers of long nails and medium-length nails, in the spring of 2019 this length is on trend. Of course, if you are the owner of short nails and you don’t have the opportunity or desire to grow them, don’t worry, well-groomed and healthy nails are always in fashion, even ultra-short ones. Thanks to modern technologies, you can become the owner of extended or simply glued nails. The entire color palette of a manicure often depends on the time of year. Each season has its own color scheme. We will tell you a little more about the trendy spring shades of varnish.
Popular styles
Modern fashion is imbued with the ideas of feminism, naturalness and everyday convenience.
These trends could not help but be reflected in manicure design - now natural colors, a minimum of decor and nail length are in fashion. The days of excessively long, bright nails studded with rhinestones are finally passing. However, fashion is cyclical, so simplicity may again be replaced by pretentiousness.
#6. Broken glass design on dark textures: spring-summer 2022
The “broken glass” design is undoubtedly an ideal option for a stylish design for spring and summer 2022. However, manicures are now performed not in pastel shades, but in rich dark tones, on which the foil looks even more bright and expressive.
Use a black, blue, purple, burgundy base for your manicure, diluting it with yellow, turquoise, and white foil.
Technicians
Nail art techniques in demand in 2022 can hardly be called new manicure products.
Rather, it is a redesign of long-known techniques, their modernization and improvement. Thanks to some techniques, even a boring design begins to play with new colors.
#1. Fashionable nail design 2022: a triumph of deep blue shades
In the spring and summer of 2022, interest in blue shades again pushed fashionistas to experiment with style. Blue shades attract with their depth and richness, and in spring nail art they look incredibly stylish and charming.
Dilute the design in blue tones with lilac, violet, orange and white shades. As for the design, the favorites of the season are geometric, lace designs, and abstract foil strokes.
French
French manicure with gel polish is a kind of classic. It is simple, concise and never goes out of style.
In 2022, the French jacket has become even more in demand: this design is suitable for both simple business suits and bold evening dresses - just what a modern woman needs.
The undeniable advantage of this design is its versatility not only in the choice of clothing, but also in the age of the owner of the marigolds: the French style suits both young girls and respectable ladies.
If a simple French jacket seems boring and insufficiently expressive to you, it can be made much more interesting and expressive in several ways:
Rhinestones. Rhinestones have taken an honorable place in the hearts of many fashionistas, and no fewer girls dislike them.
But none of the girls from the opposing sides can disagree that a French jacket decorated with rhinestones looks dignified, elegant, without boring simplicity and bright vulgarity.
The main thing is not to get carried away with decoration and maintain a balance between simplicity and unusualness.
Glitter. Glitter, like rhinestones, is good in moderation. Decorate one or two accent nails on your hand with it or decorate the tips of your nails with it. An ombre made from sparkles of different shades looks great.
Confetti. Confetti are large sparkles. You can decorate a French nail this way: carefully place glitter on the accent nail so that the elements look like fish or dragon scales.
Broths. You should also do a caviar manicure only on a few nails, without going overboard with the decor.
Important: this season, try to move away from the usual practice of applying floral patterns on accent nails - in 2022 it has become irrelevant.
New for 2022
Manicure with cat eyes
In 2022, it will be new to decorate your nails with designs of your pets' eyes. Masters can depict eyes in a fairly realistic, even gothic form, or they can simply make a cheerful and bright print.
Cobweb
A very light spider web print creates an unconventional manicure look that will fit perfectly into any style. You can entangle all the marigolds or just part of them with a cobweb. The color, length, and thickness of the web may vary depending on the desired result.
Nude
Manicure in nude shades is gaining more and more popularity. You can make it much more attractive using the following methods:
Imitation of a velvety surface. Using a specialized top coat, rubs and powders, you can get an unusual matte, velvety finish. It gives the manicure an expensive look and unusual texture.
You can use this technique on all nails or combine matte and glossy finishes on one hand.
Drawings. Minimalism is in trend, so give up curls and complex floral motifs. All designs on the nail should be simple, unpretentious and schematic.
The best graphic style is stripes, polka dots, rectangles and other geometric shapes. In this case, it is better to use exclusively black color.
Gradient. Instead of a plain light nail, it is better to do a nude manicure in the ombre style. However, in addition to nude colors (milky, nude, café au lait, peach), you can use any pastel tones of different colors.
Watercolor drawings. If you are not ready to give up floral designs on the coating, then it is better to choose images in the watercolor style. Delicate, translucent images do not catch the eye, however, they greatly decorate the image.
Negative space. The inversion effect can be achieved using colorless varnish.
The main idea of this manicure is that the design applied to the nail remains transparent, while the background around it has color. Simple schematic images are suitable for this technique: stripes, circles, hearts, stars.
Important: when using the negative space technique, do not leave a “bare nail” under the design. First, paint it with a base of the natural color of your nail plate - this will make the manicure look more neat.
Fashionable decorated marigolds 2022 in geometry style
Rhinestones
In spring, a fashionable and trendy nail design without a doubt is a geometric manicure. And to create a simply unique and original manicure, an idea with geometric shapes made in different colors, in a combination of rhinestones or with highlighted contours will serve. A painting made as one design on all nails will look very beautiful, interesting and elegant.
Broken glass
Also in the spring of 2022, another relevant idea for nail decoration is broken glass. Using this element of nail decoration, you can also create various geometric shapes of any color.
Lunar manicure
It seems like every girl has done the familiar moon manicure. Photos of lunar manicure with gel polish decorate the portfolio of every self-respecting master. What techniques are there to add variety to this design?
Holes of different shapes. Move away from the rule of making round holes. They can be oval, almond-shaped, triangular and even square - this will only add piquancy to the image.
Rhinestones and confetti. You can lay out small rhinestones or large confetti around the perimeter of the hole.
Whatever nail design you choose, the main thing is that it is in harmony with your style and attitude.
Don’t hide your individuality for the sake of fashion trends - go ahead and get the manicure of your dreams - gel polish will allow you to bring any design solutions to life.
Ombre
Ombre manicure stands somewhat apart from classic manicure options, mainly due to the presence of two shades on one nail and a smooth transition between them. This type of manicure can be very unusual and memorable, which, of course, attracts the attention of everyone around. It’s not for nothing that a large number of girls are constantly looking for new ombre nail design options:

New No. 3 – Inscriptions
From the previous topic of manicure with stickers, we smoothly move on to another trend for 2022, which many girls love - decorating nails using stickers with inscriptions. This design is liked mainly by young girls. Stylish inscriptions are combined with geometry and foil. The design often has unpainted areas. Looks great under both glossy and matte topcoats.
It all started with water stickers, but now another new product for nail design has appeared in specialized nail stores - metallic gold and silver inscriptions on self-adhesive stickers. They fit perfectly with similar stripes that appeared in the previous season.
How to attach stickers?
There are two ways. The first involves placing a sticker on a dried layer of gel polish and then covering it with a top coat. The second method is somewhat more convenient. Some masters, before applying the sticker, cover their nails with a topcoat and lay out an image on the wet layer. They say it can be moved slightly and smoothed out more conveniently. Next, the top is dried and the second layer of the finishing leveling coating is duplicated.
New item No. 6 – Stylish web
This gel paint has quickly become one of the most popular nail trends today. Cobweb is a wonderful express design for beginning craftsmen. It does not cause any difficulties in operation, except that the side ridges and the skin around the nail need to be treated with a nail protector skin. To apply the web as close as possible to the side rollers, you need to squeeze them on both sides during application and pull them down. Cobwebs are often combined with sparkles, kamifubuki, foil and rhinestones. In the photo you can see different variations of this new nail design.
#4 New French manicure ideas 2022
French is undoubtedly a classic nail design, but sometimes it can also become an object for girls’ creative experiments. In 2020, a French jacket can be not only oval, but also triangular, beveled, and of non-standard shape. Triangular and twist French are especially relevant. The design looks great on square nails. A triangular jacket can be complemented with a layout of rhinestones; several shades can be used to create it at once.
The French look is interesting, where the edge of the nail plate is highlighted with foil. The edge of the nail can be decorated in absolutely any way. For example, lace around the edge of the nail, monograms, and floristry look beautiful. Such a complex jacket is best done in a plain or light version.
#2 Foam manicure: new for the 2022 season
Foam design continues to win the hearts of fashionistas. The stylish bubble pattern looks impressive in both light and dark shades. Nail art in white, pink, and pale blue is especially relevant.
Dark versions of foam manicure are not excluded. This design can hardly be called everyday, but it definitely won’t let you down in a formal setting. Dark foam manicure is often complemented with silver glitter, mirror or pearl rub. The popularity of foam manicure is increasing every day, so don’t miss the opportunity to create this trendy design on your nails.
New No. 11 – Acetate summer design
This manicure will be good for summer 2022. After all, yellow is chosen as one of the most fashionable colors of the upcoming season. Let's remember what stylish acrylic jewelry looks like and transfer the ornament to the nails. First of all, you need to create a light, translucent and at the same time deep design. The nails should turn out bright and very beautiful. Even without rhinestones, they will look impressive, shining, with the shimmer of the sun. In short, you won’t be able to take your eyes off them.
Acetate nail design instructions
This design is made on a transparent base. It is better to take a base with a light camouflage effect. Next, to make your nails transparent, but not too transparent, you need to mix yellow stained glass gel polish with camouflage in a milky or light beige shade and apply it to your nails. Next, use a fairly wide brush to apply brown spots. Cover with previously mixed stained glass with camouflage. Then duplicate the spots side by side with a lighter shade (reddish or orange). And apply our translucent mixture again. Complete the design with a classic top. It is better not to use rubber, as it has a slightly muted gloss.
This summer design idea will soon take over Instagram.
New No. 8 – Water design
This nail design technique is also a “return” to the well-forgotten old. The design should be done on nails covered with camouflage or acrylic. You also need to find a suitable regular varnish. It is better to choose dark shades or do red nails.
How to make a water design crumpled veil?
As mentioned above, the design is applied to camouflage or acrylic gel. To create a pattern in the form of a crumpled veil, you need to take a glass of cold water, drop in regular varnish and use a needle to squeeze the resulting stain from several sides. Choose a place with the best texture and dip your finger there. Use an orange stick to remove any varnish that has gotten on the side rollers, let the water evaporate (you can dry it in a lamp) and cover the design with a top coat.
