Beautiful and well-groomed hands are the basis of any girl’s stylish look. Therefore, it is important not just to take care of your nails, but to take into account current trends. In 2022, manicures for short nails will be at the height of fashion.
Minimalism is the best friend of all fashionable girls
Elegance lies in simplicity; this year's fashion trends in manicure for short nails are the best confirmation of this thesis. A discreet, minimalist manicure with a restrained style will deserve admiration this year, but it doesn’t have to be boring at all! An excellent choice is a manicure made in one color, or complemented with minor decor.
In fashion, all types of French manicure are warmly welcomed; this manicure option is universal and demonstrates the modesty and elegance of its owner. The new season allows you to experiment widely with French manicure, performing it with different colors, doing it only on some fingers, or turning the pattern over.
A monochromatic coating will be held in high esteem. It is suitable for short nails and goes well with any wardrobe. Plain claws will be appropriate for business meetings and evening entertainment. The main thing is to choose the right shade of varnish; it should be elegant, deep, extraordinary and with a twist.
#7 Plain bright manicure: summer 2022
To make a manicure look stylish and sophisticated, it is not at all necessary to clutter it with spectacular decor. A single-color coating will cope with the task of creating a stylish and original manicure. Use orange, yellow, scarlet, burgundy, indigo, lemon and other tones as the main shades. On short nails they will look neat and well-groomed.
Summer nail art is full of unusual shades and decor. This season you can afford any experiments. It doesn’t matter at all what length your nails are. A professional master will be able to create a design of any complexity even on a small nail plate. A photo selection of summer manicure ideas will help you decide on a design for the upcoming summer season, take your pick.
In 2022, shades of green, burgundy and yellow will be on the pedestal
Speaking about the fashionable shades of the new season, it is worth paying attention to all the variations of green: green-gray, burnt green, olive, khaki, sea green. But grassy bright green should be avoided; it looks frivolous and childish, and is not welcome among fashionistas.
Varieties of burgundy will remain in the top: dark red, crew red, burgundy, plum and others. These shades look impressive, noble and at the same time charming, so it’s definitely worth introducing them into your image.
Lovers of a bright image and solar energy will be pleased with the fact that yellow colors are coming into fashion. It is especially recommended to pay attention to sunny yellow, yellow-orange, straw and soft lemon. It is better to avoid flashy yellow with a neon effect.
Combination of several shades
A multi-colored manicure can not only look bright and catchy, but attractive and gentle in calm, muted tones. For summer design, girls most often like bright, sunny colors. Be careful to apply no more than three shades. But for a summer manicure, you can choose any color from the palette, ranging from neon and saturated to pastel and in the same range. What’s so convenient about a multi-colored manicure is that it can easily be done without decoration. You can apply several colors on one nail plate, choose different shades for your hands, and paint each nail a separate color.
Ombre is back in fashion in 2022
The coating created in the ombre style has not lost its popularity every year. This manicure looks elegant and gentle, but in no way provocative. Unlike previous years, ombre with very delicate transitions between shades of varnish that are close to each other is now in fashion.
An excellent choice would be to design only a few nails with a color transition, and not all at once; this will create a highlight in the image and will not strain the eye. You can combine ombre with patterns and complement this coating with rhinestones, everything is welcome.
Fashionable colors
Getting acquainted with the trendy shades of this season, we can note several of the most memorable and vibrant colors. Raspberry color will be widespread in the summer of 2022. This color can be a good replacement for strict red in the summer. It resembles a ripe raspberry and looks great in a bright monochrome manicure.
Amethyst color is noble and luxurious. A manicure made in this color attracts attention and arouses increased interest due to its uncommonness and brightness. It will be perfectly complemented by sparkles and rhinestones.
Mint or ash green is one of the most interesting trends this year. A universal and stylish color that can be used in any type of manicure. This is a cool shade of green that is invigorating, refreshing and surprising.
Coral or burnt coral can be combined favorably with pastel shades; it is a rather bright shade of red that looks great with dark and tanned skin.
Menthol color is a pastel color and looks beautiful both under a glossy top and with a matte finish, which slightly muffles the bright shine and calms it down.
Royal blue or French blue appears to be the most trendy shade of summer 2022. Be careful with this color - it is bright and saturated and can be easily overdone, so combine it with other colors or neutral shades.
Bright yellow or refreshing yellow is always popular in the summer, due to the fact that it lifts the mood and evokes positive emotions. It will be relevant in combination with gray color.
Sky blue or azure color is the most feminine and delicate trend of this season. Looks good in combination with other pastel shades and beige and is reminiscent of the sky and sea surface.
Manicure with relief for short nails
In 2022, voluminous manicure will be in fashion again. Unlike previous seasons, now it will be important not to overdo it when performing such coverage. Handles where only one or two nails are covered with a spectacular three-dimensional pattern will look most stylish.
These can be either “knitted” patterns or convex monograms or geometric shapes. It is best to abandon the once fashionable flowers; now they are associated with nothing else but outdated provincial fashion and the desire to conquer others with imaginary luxury.
Summer striped manicure
In summer, a striped manicure can be interpreted in any way you like. A manicure with one or two stripes in basic shades will look irresistible. Any choice you make will look perfect on your nails. Here is a selection of several styles that are ideal: minimalist interpretation, geometric design, stripes of rhinestones, glitter, foil print, French.
Matte splendor
Matte manicure will be especially held in high esteem by fashion this season. It looks much more elegant and noble than mirrored. The matte finish is more versatile and can be combined with almost any clothing.
Great effects can also be achieved by combining different textures. The matte finish duet with shiny inserts and rhinestones will create a sensation! Also, the combination of matte elements with mirror ones, or painting several plates with a matte coating, and several with glitter varnish, will not go unnoticed.
Chic moon manicure
Manicurists offer to diversify the classic moon manicure with additional arches in the middle of the nail or a “French manicure”. It is also permissible to paint over the lunula with a contrasting varnish, highlight it with small pebbles, or leave it “naked.”
The new lunar manicure will have laconic features.
Time to shine your nails
Short nails should not be hidden behind a nondescript manicure! Fashion experts advise not to be shy to shine in the new season. Glitter powder, brocard, glitter or rhinestones - anything will do to create a spectacular look.
But everything must be appropriate. You don’t need to skimp on glitter for your holiday manicure. In everyday life, you can get by with just a few well-placed rhinestones on the tips of your nails, or vice versa, at their very base. This option looks elegant and rich.
An effective solution would be to highlight one nail with a shiny coating, which will draw attention to the hands, but will not look provocative or cheap.
Minimum length - how to care for short nails with gel polish manicure
This coating does not limit its owner in any way - neither in the choice of colors and textures, nor in the selection of design.
Whether the choice of gel polish is dictated by the desire to transform damaged or unkempt nails into neat and healthy ones, or by the decision to simply enjoy the look of a perfect manicure for a long time, in any case, you must adhere to certain rules and tips to achieve the desired result as quickly as possible. If shellac is needed for the treatment and planned lengthening of naturally brittle and fragile nails, caring for them must begin with the selection of a suitable system for healing nails from the inside. This could be the popular IBX complex from Famous Names, a duet of Vitagel preparations from the Gelish Harmony brand, or a biolamination system for nails with viscose gels from the Patrisa nail brand.

Armed with the necessary knowledge and can’t wait to get creative? Let's start choosing a new look for your nails by selecting the most advantageous and suitable palette of shades for nails with a minimum length.
Exquisite ornaments for delicate manicure
Lovers of plant themes will also find their outlet in the new manicure trends of 2022. Floral ornaments will be an excellent decoration for short, well-groomed nails. Silhouette drawings of branches made along the nail plate will help to visually make your nails longer.
The main rule to follow when performing herbal manicure is that less is better than more. One spectacular twig or delicate flower on your finger, made in a silhouette style, is enough. Herbariums drawn too carefully will be regarded as bad manners and vulgarity.
Predatory print
Despite the fact that leopard spots and zebra stripes were recently considered bad manners, in 2022 more and more designers and nail art artists are delighting us with works that include accent details with animal print. Thanks to the fall-winter of 2020-2021, when the “cow” print gained enormous popularity, a variety of animal motifs began to return to fashion.
Dark manicure for short nails
The dark finish looks really exciting. It carries charm and nobility, elegance and attractiveness, restraint and sophistication. And on short nails, a manicure in dark shades looks even better than on long ones. In the fashionable manicure trends of the latest season, a new trend can be seen - a combination of various dark shades in one look. For example, a coating that is partly burgundy and partly dark blue looks impressive.
In addition to classic black, you should pay attention to anthracite, dark purple, dark burgundy, dark aquamarine and dark blue shades; they will be in trend.
The combination of dark tones in manicure with light patterns, or with light and transparent details is still relevant. Bright geometry and delicate lace-style patterns look extremely advantageous on dark nails.
The combination of a dark coating with shine, for example, achieved through the use of rhinestones or special sparkles, looks especially festive and impressive. The main thing here is not to overdo it with the amount of shiny elements.
Elegant and elegant glitter
Your look will be much more fun and casual if you add a little sparkle to your manicure. Since summer and glitter are a great combination, the loose glitter technique comes in handy. Let's look at the most suitable design options using glitter. They can be used to make patterns, French manicure, drawing, decorate with clear varnish and ombre.
Brightness is the sister of showiness
For brave girls, new fashion trends will definitely find a response in their souls. In manicures on short nails this season, bright, rich colors will be welcomed. Sunny yellow, rich ultramarine, deep red, light green, sky blue, lilac, violet and other shades will look spectacular. The main rule is to choose more noble, and not “childish” shades. It is worth abandoning neon colors; their choice will reveal poor taste and ignorance of fashion trends.
Fashionistas who don’t risk giving themselves a really bright manicure, or who can’t afford it due to a mandatory dress code and strict prohibitions at work, can limit themselves to a bright design of one finger; this will create a stylish highlight in the image.
Rich shades of summer manicure 2022
Girls, make up your mind this summer and don’t be afraid to fill your life with bright and rich colors. Red, orange, green, yellow, pink, raspberry, turquoise - shades of summer that will always look perfect on your nails. If you are tired of monotony, add unusual techniques, such as glitter or airbrushing.
Floral nail design motifs
The trend will include both small, medium and large flowers. Their placement on the nails can be completely different, but in most cases, manicurists agreed that the flower should be one, medium in size and located diagonally closer to the edge of the nail.
A manicure with flowers is relevant while femininity and grace are in fashion.
By decorating a couple of nails with a simple or French manicure with painted flowers in delicate colors, you can give your hands an elegant and sophisticated look.
Minimalism
Minimalism remains a favorite among short nail designs 2022-2023, allowing you to create a laconic and versatile manicure for any occasion. This style assumes the presence of one small accent in the form of an elegant pattern, stripes, figures or decor, for example, gold leaf or beads.
