To make the design look complete, it is recommended to consider how it combines with your usual makeup and clothing items. Explore the latest designs and choose the best option for yourself.
With diamonds and sparkles
A popular option is a nail design with diamonds and sparkles. A classic is considered to be the design of nails in one color scheme with an emphasis on one or two fingers. Shiny diamonds, on the basis of which an attractive pattern is created, will look stylish, interesting and unusual. It is recommended to choose decorative elements taking into account the color of the base pattern.
The decor in the form of a bright accent that contrasts with the background will look no less beautiful. If you choose this option, choose neutral base shades: white, beige, light or dark gray, black. This design of geometric shapes is versatile.
At the same time, diamonds will help decorate both long and short nails. Also, any shape is suitable for their creation: oval, square, almond-shaped. Additionally, you can decorate your nails with holographic elements.
To create a brilliant geometric manicure, you can use a catchy gold or silver background and calmer tones to draw diamonds. Figures in this design can form new patterns from diamonds. Or you can complement the manicure with large single elements.
With rhinestones and diamonds
Rhinestones are no longer a new product, but over time their relevance does not decrease. Thanks to nail designs with rhinestones and diamonds, you can create a festive mood. This is a great option for an evening manicure. On a neutral, plain background, a striking figure based on pebbles will look extremely impressive. At the same time, creating such a drawing is quite simple and does not require special skills.
Rhinestones make even the simplest and most boring design elegant and attractive. They complement it and add elegance. It is enough just to place a few pebbles at the top of the diamonds on different sides. You can also cover one of the nails entirely with rhinestones.
Features and advantages of manicure with kamifubuki
Manicure with kamifubuki is often compared to a design that uses glitter. But if you can simply scatter glitter over your nails and create, for example, the effect of scattering star dust, then with kamifubuki the procedure is completely different. Kamifubuki elements, as a rule, are larger in size, so they need to be placed alternately on the surface of the nail plate - using a toothpick or dotter.

The combination of colors and decor in nail designs with diamonds
When creating a manicure with diamonds, like any other, you need to adhere to the rules of color combinations. To better navigate them, you can use the color spectrum. Typically, the design uses two or three contrasting colors. Also, a combination of several tones of the same color scheme is always a good and appropriate solution.
But there is an important rule: you should not combine warm and cold shades from the same spectrum. For example, turquoise does not go well with rich blue. When choosing accessories for manicure, such as sparkles, rhinestones, holographic elements, and so on, you also need to pay attention to the rules of color combinations.
Peculiarities
Unlike the usual hexagonal or rectangular small confetti, Kamfibuki are round. In sets or jars, they are usually sold in three different size options and in different colors. The shades can be either close (different shades of pink) or diametrically opposed (black and white).
You will learn how to make a manicure with confetti in the following video.
Very often the sets come with shiny metal mugs that create a festive feel.
Three reasons to try a confetti manicure:
- Abundance of design variations. You can add bright splashes only to certain fingers or make the whole hand festive, you can lay out a pattern, or you can make a creative mess. In any case, it will look beautiful and neat.
- Simplicity . If you make a design on your nails, there is always a chance that something will go wrong, the design will smudge and the manicure will be ruined. Also, you can’t do without certain drawing skills. With confetti everything is much simpler. You have the structural elements, and then it’s just up to your imagination.
- Technical advantages. Unlike many other small decorative elements that are used in nail art, confetti is very thin and very durable.
What nail shape is suitable for a diamond design?
Diamonds can be placed on any nail shape. Regardless of natural height, the figure is drawn and laid out on all types of forms. When executed correctly, a rhombus can visually lengthen the plate and make it elegant. Diamonds on nails are easier to place on a square shape. When modeling a drawing, the area of a square is larger than that of any other shape. There are no difficulties at the end; the decor lays flat and does not require trimming. Difficulties arise with oval and almond shapes. Craftsmen have to work hard, especially if they have to completely cover the plate with diamonds. The layout is carried out by selecting the size of the decor, focusing on the rounded, elongated edge.
On a small plate, nail art is best done using small figures. Due to the correctly selected size, the manicure looks harmonious and neat.
This trick is also used when making a carriage tie. When modeling patterns, the lines should form small diamonds, then the nail art will look beautiful.
How to make diamond designs on nails
Creating a real geometric pattern yourself is not that difficult. You can complete the design in three ways:
- Using a thin brush and varnish that contrasts or shades the main background. The complexity of this technique lies in the time required for work and the skill of the master. Important! No matter how skillful the craftsman is, it is impossible to manually make all the lines equally even.
- A lighter and more popular option is tape. Special strips for manicure allow you to create clear, even lines. The size of geometric shapes can be adjusted if desired. This tool is indispensable when creating a quilted manicure.
- The simplest method of applying a pattern is to use stencils. However, you should pay attention that gel polish often flows under the carbon copy, while ordinary varnishes create the perfect design.
Lots of diamonds
It would seem that there is nothing simpler than just a large number of diamonds on the nails. Your eyes widen while looking at these small and ideally shaped geometric figures. It is not at all necessary to create a similar pattern on each of your nails.
A pattern with diamonds can decorate only a few of them. You can create a manicure like the one shown in the photo below. To do this, one or two nails should be filled with many diamonds, applying such a pattern to a pre-prepared base. On the remaining nails, you can lay out any geometric shape with diamonds. The photo below shows how to do this. Now your manicure with diamonds is ready on your nails!

Original manicure options with diamonds

Manicure is an area of beauty culture in which trends change almost every day. Trends set by bloggers and celebrities alike range from luxurious, intricate designs to minimalist, solid-colored nails.
Geometry in manicure is one of the “hottest” trends of both the past and present seasons. The variety of options is amazing - from simple clear lines to complex patterns of shapes - rhombuses, triangles, hexagons.
Let's focus on diamonds. What design options can you make using this geometric shape? Let's take a closer look.
Quilted nails
One of the options for manicure with diamonds is the so-called quilted design, when the pattern on the nails imitates the quilting used on handbags, outerwear and shoes. How to make it? There are two ways: with and without special adhesive tape.
You will need: UV lamp or LED lamp, base, gel polish and top coat (with or without a sticky layer), adhesive tape for manicure, thin brush for drawing details.
The first method involves the following sequence of actions:
- Having prepared the nail plates for coating with varnish (that is, you need to do a regular manicure, sand with a buffer for better adhesion, degrease with a special compound), apply a base;
- dry your nails in a UV lamp, cover them with gel for French manicure;
- After drying your nails again, remove the sticky layer from the gel;
- Using tape, form a “grid” of diamonds, cover your nails with a layer of gel polish;
- dry your nails, carefully remove the “mesh”;
- Next, you need to try to make each diamond visually voluminous, a thin brush and a certain amount of skill will help with this.
Each element can be decorated with rhinestones or, optionally, covered with sparkles. You can “quilt” all ten nails, or you can do it selectively, on two nails of each hand. Some fashionistas match the color of the nail polish to the color of the quilted handbag, while others play with contrasts. Since nowadays the rule: a bag and shoes are the same color, and lipstick and polish are strictly the same color, does not apply, but, on the contrary, is considered yesterday by the most desperate fashionistas, you can choose any shade for your manicure, and it will be relevant.
If for some reason you don’t have any ribbons, you can do a “quilted” manicure without them. You will need a thin brush with which you will draw diamonds. Of course, this method requires a lot of concentration and some skill, but the results can be great if you practice a little. The sequence of actions is the same as for a manicure with adhesive tape, only the diamonds are drawn by hand.
To give volume to the elements, they are coated in two or even three thin layers, and the stripes between the diamonds are coated in only one.
Geometry on nails
Diamonds in a design do not necessarily imply imitation stitching. You can combine a geometric pattern with a gradient, then the diamonds will gradually become richer, while maintaining a clear shape, without streaks or irregularities. This is a very complex, time-consuming, but at the same time extremely effective type of design. With it, your hands will definitely be in even the simplest look.
In addition, you can place a diamond in the center of the nail, for example, making it blue. And form the rest of the design “around” it, outlining each subsequent contour with an increasingly darker shade of blue. The result will be something between a gradient and an optical pattern.
And, of course, we must not forget the clear geometry that is so fashionable now, usually made of black, beige or powder and one bright color. Thanks to the contrast of tones, the manicure turns out to be very sharp, catchy, and fashionable. Often the contrast of shades is emphasized with thin lines of silver or gold glitter. But rhinestones and stones are rarely used in clear geometry, perhaps due to the laconicism of the designs.
Kamifubuki, “dragon scales” and other interesting elements of nail art
When talking about geometric manicure with diamonds, we cannot avoid talking about kamifubuki. In Russian, this mysterious word means nothing more than the well-known paper confetti. In the summer of 2022, the kamifubuki trend simply “roared” and was as popular as possible. In the fall, circles and squares did not give up their positions, decorating them with more saturated tones of varnish - wine, ocher, chocolate and shades of precious stones.
Kamifubuki is produced not only in the most popular form - circles, but also in others: stars, diamonds, squares, ovals, hearts. They also have different sizes, which allows you to create a huge number of design options - from minimalistic layouts on colorless varnish to luxurious shimmers on a “cat’s eye”. From diamonds you can lay out a gradient, stripes, even something like a moon manicure or a French manicure.
Kamifubuki look great in combination with a matte top, on a black glossy varnish, creating a “king nail” - in general, almost everywhere!
The most current design using kamifubuki today is the so-called dragon scales. This option appeared recently, but immediately gained wild popularity among Instagram bloggers and fashionable ladies. The “scales” are laid out from diamond-shaped plates; this work requires great care, and also, since the design is applied to the curving part of the nail, good adhesion of the material to the base and varnish. That is why for “dragon scales” you should go to a master who has an understanding of this type of design and has a good reputation among clients.
In addition, you can lay out a diamond pattern from small kamifubuki diamonds. In a word, the variety of options is limited only by your imagination.
If you have all the materials for this type of home design, you can do it yourself. What will you need? UV or LED lamp, base and top coat, gel polish of the desired color, dots, and the kamifubuki themselves. In this case, experts advise using a rubber base because of its viscosity. The sequence of actions is as follows:
- apply base, dry;
- coat your nails with varnish, polymerizing it;
- apply a layer of base again and, using dots, lay out a kamifubuki pattern, as if “sinking” each element into the base;
- dry the resulting design and apply another layer of base;
- After drying your nails in a lamp, cover them with top;
- after the last drying, remove the sticky layer, if the top is with it, and if you used a top without a sticky layer, then admire the result.
