One of the main problems that girls face when choosing a nail design is choosing the right color. At first glance, there is nothing complicated here; you just need to indicate the shade you like. But it turns out that the color of your manicure should match your style and lifestyle. After all, you must agree that nails with acidic colors will look out of place in the office or at university classes. In addition, every fashionista wants to stay in trend, therefore, she will pay attention to what is fashionable at the moment in nail design. What colors will be in demand in 2022?
Main trends
The advantage of modern fashion is that it does not limit creativity and gives the opportunity to experiment. In 2018, naturalness has not lost its relevance. Regarding manicure, this means that even painted nails should look natural.
The choice of colors depends on the time of year. Spring is characterized by rich sunny shades, autumn – warm tones, which in winter will be replaced by cold colors. At the same time, throughout the year there will be current pastels (pink, nude, coffee colors). Turquoise, sand and soft blue colors will be no less popular.
Girls who want to stand out can use rich berry shades (marsala, cherry, burgundy, etc.). At the peak of popularity will be metal coatings that replicate not only the color, but also the texture of silver, gold or steel.
Experiments with green, blue or even black colors are acceptable. And, of course, where would we be without a red manicure?
As you can see, the palette acceptable for a fashionable manicure in 2022 is very wide. Therefore, any girl has the opportunity to choose exactly what appeals to her most.
Neon yellow-green: lime or chartreuse
Many people are more accustomed to calling this shade light green, but not every light green color is lime. A juicy shade, which is a mixture of yellow and green, more fresh or scorching, has entered the manicure fashion and is just beginning to get used to it, charming fans of bright neon colors.
Stylish red
It looks like red will never go out of style. And this applies not only to manicure, but also to clothing and accessories. In the wardrobe of every fashionista you can find something of this color, therefore, for them, red varnish can be considered basic.
Rich red tones are perfect for giving your nails an ombre effect.
Not every girl will dare to make bold experiments with anti-malistic prints. In addition, there is an opinion that such a manicure has already gone out of fashion. But those who are not afraid to experiment and want to always be in the spotlight will be glad to see the return of such decor in 2022.
It is very important to choose the right shade of red for you. To do this, first of all, review your wardrobe, because the color of the manicure should be in harmony with the clothes. But this does not mean that you can only wear something of the same shade with a red manicure. Black and white compositions go well with red. Alternatively, you can wear jeans with white shoes and the same T-shirt. The accents of such a calm image will be nails and lips of a bright red shade.
Additional decorative elements, for example, rhinestones or a geometric pattern in contrasting colors (white, black), can add individuality to a red manicure.
For those who always wear bright and catchy things, you can choose scarlet color. But for a calmer look, rich shades are suitable.
Red polish can be the perfect base for a holiday manicure.
