Metallic shades have long been considered a sign of wealth and beauty. In the new season, at the peak of popularity, silver manicure, which is often performed in a single color, can be decorated with a variety of decorative elements (sparkles, rhinestones, acrylic powder, drawings). This manicure style will suit nails of various lengths. This year, metallic manicure has become one of the most trendy types of nail coating, and if the color of gold is a symbol of wealth, then the color of silver is a slightly less noble shade, but with spiritual depth, because such a manicure gives a girl a special sense of life and charm.
Combination rules
Neil masters know that monochrome is best diluted. Any solid color can become the base color. If you add some jewelry and accessories to it, you can create an extraordinary look.
Silver goes ideally with black, ruby, blue, turquoise, purple, olive, pink, and red.
If you cover one or two fingers with it, decorating it with rhinestones, drawings, and confetti, you will get an unusual design that will not leave anyone indifferent.
Every girl should know that silver nails must be framed with rings, bracelets, earrings, and necklaces to match.
Gold jewelry is not suitable for this nail design. A New Year's manicure with silver and the right outfit will make your look truly fabulous and magical, as befits this holiday.
Current silver nail decor
Shining nail decor quickly became fashionable and popular due to its originality. Every season, silver nail design opens up for fashionistas from a new perspective. Fashionistas won't go wrong if they decorate their hands with sparkles, glitter, rhinestones, foil, rubbing, or just shiny polish or gel polish. It looks interesting to use a combination of different decor and its shades in one design. For example, gold + silver. This technique with shiny materials will look appropriate both in the office and at a New Year's party.
Smooth mirror on nails
Remember, there was a moment when almost every girl “tried on” mirror silver and posted this beauty on various resources? Moreover, it was not glitter with foil, or even varnish with chrome.
The metallic gloss on the handles was created using fine silver powder.
To obtain a unique image, you just need to rub “silver dust” into the substrate, previously applied to the plate.
To make your nails look perfect, you must first apply a thick base that perfectly evens out all the unevenness.
If you skip this step, then in the end even the most beautifully shaped nails will look untidy. The fact is that silver “sticks out” all the shortcomings.
It is also important to know that this rub looks best on a black/dark base.

You can rub the powder in with your finger or a powder eyeshadow tool. The layer should not be sticky. It is more practical to use a shading brush or a lint-free cloth.
Design of several nails with silver polish
As a rule, this type of design is popular among adherents of a nude finish. Silver color goes well with many shades. The most relevant for this season are:
- Black and silver. In this way it is possible to create contrast. Often one of the most favorite ways to design girls with a confident character.
- Purple (and all shades) and silver. However, when choosing this combination, designers do not recommend overly decorating your nails.
- All shades of blue + silver. This way you can create the perfect work manicure: not flashy, beautiful, neat.
- Gray and silver. This combination is often used for manicure with holes.
- Olive and silver. It looks noble, non-standard.
There is another interesting idea! We recommend using the listed shades, securing them with a matte topcoat. In this way, nails are given unsurpassed elegance.
Silver design elements
Silver color is often used to decorate nails. They are used to draw lines, geometric patterns, and sometimes add shine to the outline of the design.
Art - French
By using silver varnish in an unusual way, you can find a place for it in a jacket. You will make the usual coating more noble, with a touch of playfulness.
Foil as a design tool
Nail designs that use foil look playful. As a rule, fans of this manicure are young girls. It is best to use this design method on 1-2 nails of one hand, otherwise it will look vulgar and flashy.
Rubbing
Its use is widespread in nail designs, the leading colors of which are red, black, and dark purple. However, silver is also not inferior in position. The rub is used on several (up to 3) nails of one hand. Often it is an element of festive nail design.
Shiny rhinestones
This is one of the most expensive types of design, especially when it comes to Swarovski. One nail of each hand is decorated with rhinestones. Thus, manicure becomes suitable for any situation: both at a feast and in the world.
Broths
They can decorate several nails at once. We advise you to create a design based on contrast. For example, silver-colored broths are best used on nails coated with blue, dark purple, brown, olive, and dark pink.
Prism
Favorite design of young girls! Many people like the holographic effect. However, it takes more time than usual to create such a coating. The sparkling iridescence is achieved through a special finely ground pigment, which is rubbed into the top. By the way, you can decorate absolutely all your nails with this design: it will look luxurious!
Sparkles
Nail plates with silver glitter on them look very elegant. Twinkling stars showering the nail will create the illusion of the night sky. This beauty is then covered with a sticky top.
Afterwards you need to remove the excess with a special fan brush. Protruding areas are cleaned with nail files. For a glossy effect, the nail must be coated with topcoat.
French and silver
French manicure is constantly modified, adding something new and beautiful to it. And in this case, a French manicure with the addition of silver will look expensive and rich.
By the way, choose not only the classic version of French manicure. A very interesting solution would be to choose a lunar French manicure. And also experiment with the size of the coverage of the smile area itself. Make it wider or narrower, depending on your preference.
Hologram
Girls fell in love with marigolds with iridescent particles. The prism looks great. The result is achieved using a specially ground color composite. It covers any substrate perfectly.
Rubs onto a non-sticky layer. A photo of a silver manicure made using this technique proves that it looks great.

Designs for silver manicure: the most popular options
Manicure can be traditionally stylized and decorated with the help of drawings, which is what masters resort to more often. In the case of silver manicure, this is no exception, and in this case it looks more original. Wonderful variations in combination with silver manicure this year include thematic compositions, geometry and abstraction. The geometric pattern should be distinct and single-layered, which is its main difference from the proposed options last year. For this purpose, adhesive tape is used to depict silver lines on a bright main background, ornaments that are applied with varnish, stars, complex sketches on a silver background, somewhat similar to the patterns in a kaleidoscope. Openwork ligature, curls that will involuntarily resemble a New Year's pattern on glass, or a lace sketch will look great. Floral motifs are almost always in fashion, but for 2022 they will have to be done professionally with a thin brush, with special tenderness and grace, which are reflected in the design.
Rhinestone inlay
Decorating with shiny stones makes a manicure not just beautiful, but chic. The shimmer in the sun is mesmerizing.
Transparent stones look expensive on silver. Rhinestones are placed on special glue. Use an eyebrow pencil or dots.
Sequins
One option is a shiny gray manicure using glitter. They can tightly cover the entire surface of the nail, or highlight its desired parts. The more shiny particles, the more solemn the manicure turns out.
Don't forget about warm and cool colors that can reflect your mood and inner state.
Try combining ombre with a little silver glitter.

Silver glitter on short manicure
Metallic is a universal tone; it is good in different variations:
- background (basis of the picture);
- glitter powder;
- one of a duet or trio;
- decor for applying a pattern.
Every fashionista has her own favorite option, but there are those who doubt whether a New Year's silver manicure will work on short nails.
Everything in the photo is beautiful and stylish, but what to do when your hands are far from perfect? Either way, you should first experiment with how the available options look on your hands. Then choose the appropriate design for everyday manicure and festive occasions.
Today, a combination of silver glitter and matte varnish or even a velvety surface on a short nail is popular.
An original decoration distracts attention from the actual length of the nail plate, placing emphasis on an extravagant design. The shortened shape is a practical everyday option; based on this, a more modest coverage is selected.
Inserts
The main feature of this design is monotony. Inserts are the basis for nail decoration.
Gray tone can be used to cover decorative elements: stripes, holes, “smiles”, figures, symbols, etc.
So, for example, an academic French manicure is diluted with shiny holes/"smiles" on the nail that will be the main accent of the decor.
Matte manicure
A matte finish will add a velvety touch to a manicure in pink tones. The symbiosis of simplicity, attractiveness and pleasant tactile effect is winning more and more fans every day. Its lightness and sophistication looks equally good on any shade of this range. A matte manicure will highlight the powdery, soft pink, light color on your nails, making them even more airy and marshmallowy.
The option with rhinestones will add sparkle to your ethereal nails. On a light, almost weightless base, the stones look fascinating. Hot pink will acquire indescribable softness and splendor, becoming slightly muted and elegant in its own way.
Something unusual
Today there are no restrictions in choosing colors in the nail industry.
The most contrasting and memorable is the black and silver manicure. Proper nail design can create an incredibly impressive manicure.
Silver jacket
Create a silver jacket that, in almost any design, is a universal design and fits any look.
A traditional wedding jacket is created using silver sequins and a white backing.
Focus on the ends without a clear boundary. For example, a slight gradient from light to dark.

Several characteristics of metallic gray in psychology:
- Symbolizes femininity and lightness;
- Stimulates the development of creative abilities and personifies eloquence;
- Silver is used in treatment and affects the body in an inexplicable way - to calm the nerves and normalize the functioning of internal organs
Gray manicure ideas
For many years, the light metallic color has been a favorite of Hollywood stars. On the carpet, outfits of this color flow and highlight sophisticated silhouettes. But according to the experience of foreign models, you shouldn’t overdo it with silver. When used liberally, a light shade of gray overloads the design and makes it tasteless.
- In astrology, silver is almost universal - all signs of the zodiac can use it with equal success, but it is especially good in contact with the element of water.
- The coming year 2022 according to the Chinese calendar will pass under the symbol of the White Metal Rat and will open the cycle of metal animals. It’s better to celebrate the New Year using silver elements in your look.
Short nails
It's a little more difficult to experiment with shorter records. However, masters even create original nail variations even with short ones.
So, for example, if you “conjure” silver glitter on the black nails of your ring fingers, you can create something that will not leave anyone indifferent.
But this result can be achieved provided that all the others are painted with a single-color varnish.
Stretch marks also look excellent on short nails, as do vertical stripes or chaotic inclusions.
Materials
You can create a silver coating or small metallic accents on your nails using several types of materials:
- A metallic polish, such as Essie Empire Shade of Mind;
- Mirror rubbing – Kodi, Masura, Irisk;
- Thick sparkles or glitter;
- Metallized tape;
- Foil.
The silver coating looks equally laconic on short and long nails.
Add gold to silver
You can get chic nails if you apply “spots” of gold and silver foil to the plain base of two fingers.
This combination looks perfect on a black, red, white background. This same duet is magnificent in the form of various patterns, geometry, patterns, stars, etc.
A gold and silver manicure is a kind of chic that can fill even the most primitive art with charm and sophistication.
Rubbed in
One of the common types of silver manicure is the rub-in design. The material creates a stable mirror shine that gives a light metallic shimmer.
Rubbing not only creates a monochromatic coating, but also makes bright accents on the desired nails.
And also a silver rub in tandem with other mirror tones.
A manicure for a wedding can be with a gradient transition and using traditional white.

Color combinations
The silver palette goes well with different colors: black, red, white, blue, pink.
The main condition when creating a design with silver is not to overdo it. This color, alluring with its tints, should not overload the hands. It looks great as an addition to some tone on one or two fingers.
Or you can apply silver to all nails, only in small quantities.
A manicure with silver and rhinestones can add a touch of chic to your look. Fingers framed with stones attract the eye.
Again, it is important that there should be enough colors and rhinestones so that there is no overload.
Approach the design with a sense of proportion, otherwise you can ruin a beautiful idea, which from chic will easily “grow” into banal vulgarity.
Remember, there is a very thin line between these two boundaries that should not be crossed.
Types of silver plating
The list of currently relevant silver coatings should include rubbing first. Using aluminum powder, it is easy to create a monochromatic nail art, decorating it with a foil ornament. By rubbing, you can focus on one or two fingers, covering the rest with varnish of a contrasting color.
Silver glitter manicure is leading the way in the modern beauty industry. Lovers of artistic painting often use sparkles to create openwork patterns. A variety of design solutions includes classic French, gradient stretch, stripes of different directions and widths.
Using adhesive tape allows you to create a minimalist design or complex geometric patterns with accents on one or two fingers.
Small silver bouillon balls allow you to create a textured manicure or effectively place accents.
The simplest decorative options rightfully include foil. Its use makes it possible to easily create original prints on top of a plain base. Cut into small pieces, the foil allows you to imitate shards of glass.
The list of types of silver coating includes ready-made stickers and rhinestones, which are easy to use to create a custom nail design.
