Matte nude manicure
Matte nude is a worthy alternative to classic gloss when you want variety. It looks very calm and neutral. And if you choose a shade, the nails seem completely “naked”.

Drawings, patterns and ornaments
The matte finish is like an artist's canvas, on which any design will look individual. Here you really need to choose according to your taste.
The range of designs, ornaments and patterns is inexhaustible:
Color block. Creative and casual design. A variety of geometric shapes will give you the opportunity to dream up. The most common combination of squares and rectangles. Possible options: in the form of a chessboard, a multi-colored Rubik's cube. But advice: do not make too many figures on one nail, it looks clumsy.
Triangles are also in fashion. The simplest matte design with a triangle - the base of which is the edge of the nail. But there is no limit to experiments. Triangles smoothly flow into rhombuses, abstraction, “teeth”. All this beauty can combine both two colors and many of them, intertwining the glossless and glossy textures of different shellacs.
A manicure consisting of various patchwork patches will leave the impression of you as an interesting person.
Abstract figures, as if floating in a wide space - such a manicure will always be unique.
Multi-colored wide stripes are also a unique color block. For example, matte stripes applied to a glossy surface.
Arcs are a semicircle, an oval, a circle. An example with arcs is a moon jacket.
Lunar. The nail hole in this design is like a decoration. Lunar manicure is an unsurpassed classic, but this does not mean that it should be boring. Here you can play with the shape of the hole: it is not necessary to follow the contour of the native base of the nail plate. For example, triangular and thin arched holes are becoming increasingly popular. Especially if you highlight them with gloss on a matte base. Pay attention to the location of the hole; it does not have to be in the same place.
Also, fashion today dictates a new type of lunar manicure - a frame. When a thin line of a contrasting color is outlined around the perimeter of the nail plate, this is a stylish option.
Ombre. This nail art also belongs to the design classics. But still, matte ombre will not go out of fashion for a very long time. For a glare-free manicure with a gradient, experts recommend choosing dark shades, from light to dark and only two. For example, from light gray to dark gray or black. In addition, the gradient can change both from finger to finger and on one nail.
French. Today, classics can in no way be ordinary, especially when performed in the absence of brilliance. The usual French manicure can be diluted with different tones. And in combination with a glossy free edge of the nail, the French will be non-trivial. You just need to take into account that light colors are suitable for everyday nail art, and darker ones, as in the photo below, for holidays and parties.
Rhinestones and decorations. If you still want shine. The matte finish can be slightly decorated with rhinestones, beads, multi-colored stones or microbeads. But in order not to overuse jewelry and not lose the romance, you need to accentuate one or two fingers. You can also decorate your nails with sculpting of various shapes (flowers, animals, etc.). This maneuver will give you charm.
Combined. This nail design involves combining several techniques. And matte is no exception. For example, you can use a lunar design with the “negative space” technique.
Or quite often combined lunar manicure techniques with a matte French manicure will look even more ideal. And if you add to this tandem a “bare” hole in the “negative space” style, then the originality of this design will help you stand out from the crowd.
Another option is to combine the ombre technique with geometric shapes. It won't be dry and interesting. You will get a unique gradient on a geometric shape.
It will also be interesting if you combine the “color block” and “negative space” techniques. Imitation of a thread pattern (knitted technique) using acrylic powder on a matte background makes the pattern a realistic extension of the sweater.
Nail art designs (wet flowers, twigs, openwork, ornate Gzhel, Indian, knitted patterns, dots, stamping, geometric, etc.).
Nail designs must be selected individually, or depending on the time of year. If it is winter, then these can be snowy, knitted ornaments. Summer – twigs, flowers. Autumn – openwork, mehendi, colors of spring foliage. Spring means bright “dots” drawings. When applying drawings, they can be highlighted with gloss or transparent varnish, on a matte texture - this will look unusual. 3D drawings will become popular. Geometric patterns (straight, curved, zigzag) are stylish minimalism.
Marble design. In our design, the lack of shine makes it more original. You can also use variations: using glossy and matte varnish to imitate marble and stone.
A manicure in the “cat eye” style is a not yet hackneyed nail art that looks very impressive in any color.
"Negative space" or "free space". The principle of “negative space” is naturalness, and matteness will only complement it.
“Sand” manicure in combination with matte is a fashion trend. These can be stripes on a sandy background, or a sand starfish on such a surface. You can also highlight one or two fingers with sand polish. The only limitation is your imagination.
Origami drawing. This design requires hand painting and this is its beauty. Straight and broken lines in the shape of animals are in fashion today.
With drops. Daily manicure with transparent and colored droplets will add uniqueness to your style. The shape of the drop can be: round, elongated or spreading.
Matte manicure with powder is a new product of the season that does not require any additions.
A knitted or quilted pattern is not only original, but also more practical. Because The technique itself requires applying several layers of varnish, which, of course, makes the coating stronger.
Lace nail design. On a matte background of pastel colors, lace will look especially gentle and expressive.
With every new year, more new products and inventions appear in nail design. In the coming year, stylists are more inclined towards minimalism, because everything that is natural is not ugly!

How to design matte black nails?
To make your nails look like velvet, opt for black polish and turn it from glossy to matte. The result will be spectacular and expressive. And you can achieve it in just a couple of steps.
1
Apply a base coat to your nails first, followed by two coats of black polish, allowing enough time for each coat to dry completely.
2
Instead of a topcoat, use a special matte finish. After the polish dries, your nails will acquire the desired matte finish.
- However, there is a way to get a matte manicure that will be truly velvety. You will need flock - these are pieces of shredded fabric, lint, which are sprinkled on the surface of nails with varnish that has not yet dried, so that the material is well fixed.

Ombre matte design
The amazing technique that creates attractive play of shades is liked by many fashionistas. Fortunately, ombre remains on trend in 2022, with women choosing the perfect design from a variety of options:
- catchy neon colors;
- airy-light snow-white, cream, flesh tones;
- neutral gray and beige;
- contrasting combinations;
- monochrome play of one color scheme;
- a harmonious palette of two to five colors at once.
Artistic images and light silhouettes, shiny details, and foil are used as additional decorations.
Black matte nails with glitter accents
Many fashionistas try not to use such an extraordinary and dark color to create a manicure, and this is absolutely in vain. Black varnish has long been classified as classic, and when properly designed it looks very stylish and elegant. In addition, black matte nails go wonderfully with any type of glitter, be it large fragments of the original shape or the smallest particles in the form of powder. On such a dark base, you can create a design in the style of a starry sky and marble nail art made with foil prints, as well as make shiny lunulae or stretch glitter from the base to the tip.
Nude marigolds
The nude palette consists of transparent pastel tones, cream, gray, beige, pink, milky and blue shades, which, combined with a matte finish, create a simply stunning design that occupies a leading position. Marigolds can be complemented with stylish designs in the form of dots, stripes or images in the minimalist style. You can also decorate the velvet covering with touches of glitter, beads, broths or small stones.
"Cat's Eye"
This manicure technique has been performed in a matte version quite recently, so it looks a little unusual and fresh. The “cat eye” manicure design is made with special varnishes with the addition of metal particles, which create very delicate shimmers with a magical shimmer effect. Marigolds in this design can decorate all the fingers on the hand and combine beautifully with other coatings that are similar in tone.
With drawings
In addition to numerous variations of single-color or multi-colored designs, matte manicure with a pattern is very popular among fashionistas of any age. If long nails allow your imagination to run wild, then short lengths prefer more restrained and sophisticated options for images, which should not be forgotten when visiting a nail salon. Drawings can be made with acrylic paints, colored or shiny varnishes using a thin brush. Stamping techniques and various stickers are also in demand today. Popular images include floral designs, geometric designs, seasonal designs, lettering, cartoon characters, openwork swirls, stripes, polka dots and many other interesting offerings.
