New realities of life present new opportunities. Despite the pandemic and some restrictions, women and girls do not stop caring for their nails and visiting beauty salons, and there are those who take care of their hands at home and do their own manicures.
Whatever one may say, women’s hands should always be in order, so the topic of manicure and hand care remains one of the top ones, arousing interest among the majority of the fair sex. In today’s material, we offer current and trendy manicure ideas for the 2022-2023 season, which will be at the peak of popularity both among masters and among admirers of everything beautiful.
A fresh manicure with a fashionable and current design is like a small holiday for every modern woman.
Since we all missed creativity, being confined at home during quarantine measures, what solutions were not offered in the field of nail design - this included sticking false nails on top of gloves, and creating a themed 3D design with inscriptions. There are also those who do not like such an extravagant manicure and unusual nail design, who want simplicity and lightness; Japanese manicure is suitable for just such a case.
As you can see, the latest trends in manicure for the 2022-2023 season are quite multidirectional and will appeal to many. We know one thing for sure, there are no restrictions in the choice of techniques, colors and shapes of nails, therefore, you can safely embody any fantasies and ideas in fashionable nail design.
The following trends and tendencies will stand out in fashionable manicure 2022-2023:
- ombre effect, in particular radial gradient;
- “quail eggs” effect (splashes);
- sequins, confetti and pieces of foil;
- colored and shiny French;
- gold leaf or crumpled foil;
- images of butterflies;
- watercolor drawings;
- aquarium design;
- inscriptions on nails;
- stamping design;
- "negative space";
- brush strokes;
- cobweb;
- rubbing, etc.
In addition to the various styles, techniques, trends and techniques of fashionable nail design, it is also worth paying attention to the shape of the nail plate, as well as its length. There will be no competition for square-shaped marigolds - a classic or “soft” square. For lovers of elegant manicure, masters offer fashionable designs for almond-shaped nails. There are also fashionable manicure options for oval nails, which are considered timeless classics.
But as for the length, it can be different, it all depends on your personal preferences. Short nails are more practical and convenient in everyday life, while long nails look much more impressive, but medium-length nails can become the “golden mean” for many modern girls and women.
We offer you new manicures for 2022-2023 that will not leave any representative of the fair sex indifferent, inspiring and causing a desire to repeat the beauty they saw on their hands. The main trend ideas and nail design options for this season are presented below in our photo review.
Butterfly drawings
A pretty and delicate manicure in blue with a butterfly pattern, inscription and gold leaf decor. A
fashionable manicure with butterfly patterns will help to add creativity, and at the same time lightness, tenderness and romance to your looks. The images themselves can be made in different ways - using the stamping technique, using sliders-stickers or drawing butterflies by hand with a brush. This manicure is the main hit of the 2022-2023 season, so you simply must try it.
Current colors for the most romantic holiday
Manicure begins with choosing the shape of the nail cut and the color of the varnish. And if the shape of the nail still depends more on such things as the general structure of the hand, the nails themselves, the depth and shape of the groove, then the choice of color depends on the personal taste preferences of fashionistas and young ladies.
But do not forget that Valentine’s Day is still a day for romantic moods and charm, and therefore for manicure it is worth choosing colors that are close to the “love story” and hint at feelings and heartfelt affections.
So, not only red and pink nail polish colors will be relevant for manicure on this day, but also:
- white and all its shades;
- lilac and lilac;
- soft blue and deep blue;
- burgundy, wine;
- black.
Well, and, of course, the unchanged, magnificent and delicate nude blues in its various shades and manifestations will always be in fashion.
Stamping
A pleasant lilac shade looks great on square nails with a gradient stamping design.
This technique is a favorite option for creating designs of varying complexity by both masters and clients of nail salons. And all thanks to the ease of implementation and excellent results. The most popular stamping manicure is presented in the form of gradient prints of twigs, flowers, bushes, leaves, etc.
Complex nails
Any nail technician has encountered or will encounter clients with complex nails, so it is extremely important to be able to competently work out all the features of such nail plates in order to ultimately get an excellent result that will please your client and you. Let's analyze several situations and determine the procedure: 1. Wide nails.
For such nails, a rounded shape is best, although filing will take quite a lot of time.
It is necessary to carefully work out the sinuses. The stuck cuticle is pushed back slowly in several passes using a pusher or an orange stick. Treat the surface with a buff. The next stage is working with a cutter; for this we take the “flame” attachment and carefully process the cuticle, carefully removing the pterygium. We treat with a buff and polish. If everything is clean, you can start applying the base coat. 2. Extremely rough skin in the periungual area.
First, you need to soften the skin for easier processing and dry it, then work on the free edge with a file, smoothing it with light movements.
We push back the cuticle with an orange stick or pusher. We continue to work with a manicure cutter in the shape of a “flame”. Keep the speed in the region of 10-15 thousand, clean out the pterygium with light movements. We process it with a buff. If everything is done cleanly, then your nail is ready for applying a base coat or modeling. 3. Springboard nails.
Correcting curled nails is necessary from the thumb.
It’s better to start from the corner, apply the base coat as thinly as possible, then add a drop of polygel and spread it over the surface of the nail plate. We cut out the arch of the modeled nail from the inside using a cutter, removing excess thickness. Then we give the desired shape to the free edge. Next, you need to go through the polishing file, removing roughness and giving a beautiful shine to the nail. Voila! Curled nail fixed. 4. Correction of “bitten” nails.
They are characterized by several characteristics:
- Small short nail bed,
- Large burrs.
- Complex, sticky cuticles.
- Polished and thin skin in the cuticle area.
First, carefully but forcefully move the overgrown cuticle with a pusher or an orange stick. Then you need to clean off the pterygium with an ultra-soft “flame” or “bullet” shaped nozzle. Avoid sudden movements to avoid cutting the nail plate or burns. Try to maintain the correct angle of the cutter. If the eponychium has grown very widely, it is best to carefully cut it off with nail scissors, and then trim off the remaining pterygium. Also pay special attention to cleaning the lateral sinuses and sinuses. We treat the remaining dry cuticle with a spherical nozzle with a red notch. You only need to move along the cuticle and under no circumstances go onto the skin behind it, so as not to cause injury. Then, closer to the free edge, treat the surface with a nail file to ensure good adhesion to the decorative coating. 5. Correction of wide nails growing upward.
At the first stage, it is necessary to symmetrically narrow the side lines using the sawing method.
After this, shape the end using a file, placing it perpendicular to its edge; it is best to choose an oval shape with a narrowing or squaw-oval or “almond”. When choosing a shape, you should not be too zealous, since the “stiletto” shape will not suit wide nails due to the too pronounced contrast of the wide upper part and the extremely narrow lower part. It is better to perform all stages of work with a thin file or fissure cutter, also with a “flame” cutter - it is especially suitable for cleaning out the pterygium. 6. Raising the “pecking nail”
.
First, reduce the length slightly, maintaining the shape, for example, a “soft square”, then process the sinuses with a milling cutter with a red notch, it is best to do this with a fissure attachment. Use gentle movements to clean out the pterygium. Then remove the sawdust with a napkin. Also work on the cuticle area. Then trim the overgrown cuticle with clippers or nail scissors. In the second stage, apply a thin layer of base and dry. Then, using acrylic, distribute its bulk closer to the end, and also work on the transition zone from the artificial coating to the natural nail. Next, level the material on the surface as much as possible. After drying, carefully file away any excess acrylic. If the end is too thick, trim it with a cutter and make a beautiful arch. Polish any minor roughness with a buff. The “pecking” nail is aligned and ready for applying a decorative coating. 7. Wet nail plate.
Hyperhidrosis of the nails can affect the duration of wearing the decorative coating, so it is extremely important when working with this type of nails to take into account the following several rules: Degrease with a dehydrator, using gentle circular movements.
It is necessary to strengthen the nail plate with acrylic or sculptural biogel. When choosing a decorative coating, it is better to suggest using hybrid gel polishes; such materials absorb excess moisture and adhere perfectly to such nails. 8. Thin nail plates.
There are many reasons for the appearance of thin nail plates, the main ones being:
- Lack of vitamins and microelements.
- Hormonal disorders in the body.
- Mechanical damage.
- Exposure to chemicals.
- Frequent use and removal of artificial turf.
What to do about it?
- Review your diet or diet.
- Use vitamin and mineral complexes.
- Use strengthening baths of oils or sea salt.
- Conduct paraffin therapy sessions.
How to work with such nails?
It should be remembered that such nails are susceptible to peeling, and accordingly the artificial coating will peel off and chip. Therefore, it is better to wait for their condition to improve. But what if you need beautiful nails now? There are two options for finding a solution for such marigolds:
Strengthening nails with a hard material, such as gel, acrylic or acrylic powder.
We will describe step-by-step instructions for strengthening thin nails using acrylic powder.
This scheme is quite simple and popular, so we decided to choose it. 1. Degrease the nail. 2. Apply a primer, depending on the situation, apply the composition only to the free edge area or along the side ridges, or for better adhesion, cover the entire nail plate with it. 3. Apply a thin layer of base coat. 4. Without drying, immediately begin applying the powder with gentle movements using a brush or manicure spatula, making sure that the powder covers the entire surface of the plate as evenly as possible. 5. Remove excess powder and dry in a UV lamp. 6. After polymerization, treat the nail with a manicure brush to remove any remaining acrylic powder. 7. Now your nails are strengthened and ready to apply colored gel polish. A very thin coating of the most flexible gel polish.
Technique: 1. Apply a plastic base, the layers should be as thin as possible so as not to lose plasticity, because the material will be a kind of damper and will move along with the natural nail.
Dry in a lamp. 2. Apply the same plastic gel polish in the same thin layer, because the thicker the layer, the less mobile the coating will be. The best choice would be a pigmented gel polish to get the most rich color with a minimum layer. 3. Using the same principle, select the topcoat, because a “hard” topcoat will simply crack. And it will happen very soon. Alas, even this coating will not “live” longer than two weeks. 9. Gardener's nails.
Such nails are characterized by breaking off the nail plates, rubbing or irritation of the skin around the nails or cuticles, soil, grass and other debris get clogged under the plate. How to work with “handles from the garden”? We offer brief instructions:
- Remove the old coating with a milling cutter.
- Clean dirt from under the nail plate and side ridges. Use a pusher or hatchet for this. In particularly difficult cases, the skin will need to be steamed in a special bath. After this, a classic trimmed manicure procedure is carried out using hand tools.
- Remember that you should never work with steamed skin or wet nails using a manicure machine!
- Using a ball cutter, remove light calluses and cracks from the side bolsters.
- Carefully trim the cuticle with nail scissors.
- Additional modeling may be necessary, especially for the corners of the nails, which very often fall victim in the unequal fight against weeds. For this, you can choose fiberglass; this coating is resistant to damage. Then dry it in a lamp and remove the excess length.
- Then you can apply gel polish. To the taste of the client or master.
Well, we have analyzed the most common cases of “complicated nails” and described the procedure for working with them. We hope that our recommendations will help you cope with all the difficulties. Have beautiful marigolds.
Gradient

A trendy manicure with gold leaf looks expensive and chic.
Mica honeycomb design
A manicure with a shining mica honeycomb is extremely beautiful and original. This design can be easily brought to life using shiny mica of the correct shape. For example, mica of a hexagonal shape, a color that matches the main varnish, is laid out in the correct order on the entire surface of the nail plate of one, several or all fingers.
