French manicure
If you want to get a French manicure - 2016, fashion trends, photos will help you choose the ideal option and indicate the emergence of new varieties. French manicure technique is classic. She will be welcomed at all times. However, new directions in this technique have now emerged. For example, if previously only the classic version was used, when the tip of the nail was highlighted with white varnish, now the “French millennium” technique is becoming very popular. In this case, the tips of the nails are no longer covered with white varnish, but with glitter. The effect will be amazing. Also, the tips of the nails can be coated with any colored varnish. This technique has been used for several years, but still does not lose its popularity. By the way, the nail itself can be covered with one color, and the tip with a different shade or even the opposite color. The fan-french looks very beautiful when the nails are additionally decorated with various rhinestones, beads, foil and other decorative elements. There is also a non-standard French manicure. It is not performed using the same technique that is already familiar to many people. In this case, the usual “smile” is not done. The main goal is to change the shape of its lines. For example, the tip of the nails can be painted in the shape of a tick, triangle, zigzag, etc.

Current coating shades in 2016
Among the current colors, we can highlight warm and non-standard tones, as in the photographs in this issue of our women's magazine Raznoblog.com. So, fair-haired ladies and owners of red curls will like warm turquoise. For young ladies who adore denim style, this option is just a godsend.
Coral or classic red vinyl is elegance, femininity, and seduction. And coupled with an evening look, this tone is simply irreplaceable.
Bright bikinis and snow-white floral clothing are ideal with a sparkling shade of delicate violet. And mint blues are so pure and fresh that they harmonize with any time of year. The new nude or desert beach is also universal: the combination with any clothes is great. Bold and creative types will appreciate yellow vinyl, hot coral and dark lavender.
For ten years now, classic pink has remained relevant. The “confetti” option is quite original. This polish combines violet and coral particles, and pastel pink inclusions of large and small sizes.
Plain manicure
Painting your nails the same color is always welcome. Manicure 2015, the fashion trends of which many people remember, has many similar techniques to 2016. You can decorate your nail plates with any color you like. If it’s cold time outside, then it is better to choose not very bright, cold shades. For example, you can use burgundy, gray, beige, brown, blue. In summer, richer shades will look great. For example, you can give preference to raspberry, yellow, green, blue. By the way, not only ordinary pearlescent varnishes will look good, but also matte and enamel varnishes.
Special attention should be paid to the blue tint. If in 2015 the leading color was marsala, then if you want to make a beautiful “manicure 2016”, fashion trends now point to blue shades, you can even use an indigo shade. In the new year, absolutely all shades of blue are welcomed; a rich dark blue tone is especially suitable for winter. As for other shades, cornflower blue, violet, sapphire, emerald, and ultramarine will be fashionable in 2016. If you follow the trends, then you need to apply this shade on short nails. Pearl blue, turquoise, neon, blue-black shades are also suitable.

Another popular shade in 2016 is gray. It can be either a complement to other colors or a stand-alone varnish. There is a huge palette of this color. You can use pastel colors and the color of wet asphalt.
Changes in traditional directions
There are no plans for a radical change in design direction this year. But the main trends are developing and improving. There is a move away from traditional French manicure and moon manicure. Drawings will become more restrained, excesses and luxury will fade into the background. Straight, not too thin lines are becoming increasingly popular. Spray bottles are in trend: the surface is both large and monochromatic. An effective combination of varnish of several shades will give a result that is both discreet and attractive, but completely unconventional.
The matte finish is ideal for long or extended nails. They are no longer urgently relevant, but there is no decline in the popularity of matte varnishes for shorter nails either. No wonder: the image turns out both elegant and sophisticated.
Seasonality is no longer the main trend. Yes, designs for summer and winter are different, and variations of festive manicure for the New Year are still popular with snowflakes. But craftsmen are increasingly resorting to universal patterns. Of course, it is impossible to completely deny the appearance of daisies and lilacs on marigolds with the summer warmth, so avoiding seasonality right away is an impossible task.
The patterns become sketchy and simple. Smooth lines and simple geometry combine well with rings, adding style to the look. The special advantage of this design is that it is ideal for short nails.
As summer approaches, varnish blots will become increasingly popular. Colorful and rich, they remind of a warm and joyful summer.
Triangles are good for wide nails. This design will lengthen your fingers, and the lady who chooses this design will appear super fashionable.
Describing history in drawings is also a trend. An image of the city's coat of arms, a favorite dish, even a pet - that's what they take note of. There is a tendency towards identical patterns on at least a couple of fingers.
Monochrome is a bit boring, so intersections and lines are encouraged in the design. The red classic is leaving, replaced by shades of color: coral, scarlet.
As an independent tone, black is irrelevant. It is important for contrast. The trend is especially evident with white and gray shades. The trendy tones were lilac and lilac. “Nude” designs on nails with small gaps in contrasting colors have begun to gain popularity.
Rhinestones stubbornly remain afloat. It is not round, too banal, but more original shapes that are more relevant. So, triangles are fashionable and stylish. Sticker tapes in golden tones are also popular.
The nail design of the current season is characterized by ordinaryness, but not boredom. There is brightness and zest. Yes, the manicure turns out interesting, but without shocking or deliberateness. This is how an ideal manicure should be.
So, the direction is towards naturalness. But a complete rejection of long nails is not necessary. True, excessively long ones are no longer in fashion. And the design is too tacky and not in favor. But shorter nails can be decorated more boldly. The main trend is stylish simplicity. A single-color covering does not require any extra thought: it’s easy to choose clothes for it and do makeup.
Bubble nails
Bubble nails are a new trend for 2016. If you want to get a trendy 2016 gel manicure, fashion trends and photos point to this new product. However, fashionistas should be careful because bubble nails look anti-aesthetic. The idea of this nail design is truly crazy, and its creation can only be explained by the fact that it appeared in Japan, known for its fashion for weirdness. Of course, the round, voluminous shapes of the nail plate are shocking to many, but girls are already doing this design. A fancy manicure will definitely not leave anyone indifferent, although not everyone will like it. How is this manicure done? First, the nails are shortened as much as possible in order to then achieve the effect of a voluminous ball-shaped nail. This shape is made by applying a large layer of gel or acrylic. The most commonly used is gel polish. Fashion trends shocked many girls. Then the nails are covered using various techniques. Very often, mirror technology and various decorative elements are used to make the shape of the nails visually even more voluminous. But keep in mind that such a manicure is unlikely to be suitable for every day.
Focus on naturalness
The rule that always works, and there are no exceptions to it, is the aesthetics of the shape of the marigolds. Even if the manicure is ultra-modern, it is unusually beautiful when empty, but if the shape of the nails is sloppy, then the design on them will look accordingly. This year has brought short marigolds to the forefront.
The most harmonious image is provided by an almond or oval shape. In addition, this length, combined with the shape, is both more practical and more natural. And in an ensemble with bright varnish, your nails look amazing.
Sweater technique
This nail art is considered one of the newest. It is best suited for autumn and winter, because... the manicure will look like a sweater pattern. This decoration imitates openwork patterns.

Thanks to this material, nail art will be very practical - durable and sustainable. You can decorate your nails this way either all together or highlighting only 1-2 fingers. A knitted manicure can be made either matte or glossy, although the first option looks much more beautiful. You can also create a pattern on a sweater using special stickers that already contain the desired pattern or ornament. For example, in winter, a print with the image of deer is very popular. A velvet version with ready-made stamped designs is also suitable. For example, it could be a snowman, snowflake, rhombuses, Scandinavian motifs. All this will look great on winter days.
