Tips from the professionals

This season it is important to use glitter even in creating a classic jacket. For example, decorate your smile with sparkles. It is possible to use foil or glitter in nail decoration on all nails, or to create patterns on one or two nails.
Stripes

Which design to choose
The choice of design for manicure and pedicure in one design is a purely personal matter. By and large, there are no restrictions on what colors, designs and patterns to use.
At the same time, a list of classic paired designs has nevertheless emerged:
- Plain. Both manicure and pedicure involve the use of 1-2 two colors, which are not complemented by the design. Add variety with a gradient or ombre, although just a color coat looks great;
- French. More often this is a French manicure and a plain pedicure in the color of the smile line;
- Drawings. Nothing complicated is used for manicure and pedicure in the same style - light hearts, flowers, lines or abstract patterns;

- Rhinestones and sparkles . As in the case of a French jacket, additional decor is often placed on the arms, and the legs are covered in one tone. But here, of course, it’s a matter of taste.
Often manicures and pedicures are not the same - similar colors and details are used, but in general the designs are completely different.
Why do the same manicure and pedicure or coating in a similar style:
- It's stylish . There is no contradiction between the legs and arms, the whole image looks holistic;
- It is beautiful . Especially manicures and pedicures done in a similar way are suitable for summer, when shoes are open.
Marble effect
Even the shortest nails can be beautifully decorated with marble effect varnish. An azure base and tiny cracks applied with white varnish will help create a delightful manicure reminiscent of the seabed.
The use of a white base and delicate black veins will become more common.
With a themed design
Thematic design can be created using volumetric decor, stucco molding or slider design.
When using three-dimensional objects - 3D shells or stars, it is important to secure them firmly, since a beach holiday is a test for the coating. Use special jewelry holders, such as Severina.
The product is applied to the nail before installing the design. A fixing layer of fixative is also applied to the laid out decor.
Marine nail designs are most often done in bluish, blue and white tones. You don’t have to skimp on the design - marine pedicure allows for the presence of several types of decorative elements at once - rhinestones, stickers, drawings.
The design can be matte, just keep in mind that with constant contact with sand, the velvety coating can quickly lose its attractive appearance.
Traditionally, the accent nail is chosen on the thumb, but this is not necessary - you can highlight the ring finger and any other finger.
Fashionable pedicure ideas 2022
Drawings
The first thing that comes to mind when choosing designs for a marine manicure is anchors or steering wheels. The second frequently used option is all kinds of palm trees, shells, and starfish. In third place are dolphins and funny octopuses.
However, this list can be supplemented with funny whales, funny fish, mysterious mermaids, an image of a solid compass and silhouettes of ships. It all depends on the mood of the nail salon client.
Instead of drawing all this beauty by hand, you can use special stickers that will help save money and time. And these saved minutes can be used to come up with irresistible outfit combinations.
For girls who are not ready for such a drastic change in image, familiar floral patterns or lovely polka dots are suitable.
An original option would be all kinds of inscriptions on the marigolds.

Sea on nails
Marine manicure is, of course, the prerogative of summer; it is at this time that it is especially popular. Ladies are encouraged to decorate their nails with figurines of shells, designs of the sea and waves, and gold glitter to imitate beach sand. Drawings of the inhabitants of the deep sea, exotic flowers and landscapes, and sunsets are in great demand. The priority colors for beach-themed design are: white, blue, turquoise, and yellow shades.

Sea surf and golden sand
The new design developed by nail artists is golden sand, created using glitter in gold, white and blue colors or shimmer.
On vacation I want to be a stylish and unique lady. Therefore, many people decorate their nails with gold and silver sparkles, depicting velvet sand. Ladies with a rich imagination, improvising on this topic, may well turn their marigolds into a canvas of artistic paintings that will attract the close attention of others. The drawings are pleasing with a bright combination of warm tones: ocher, mustard, lemon, turmeric. The cool blue of the sea depths can dilute and balance these beach sands.

Cocktail, ice cream and tropics
Give your look a special brightness by adding interesting designs on your nails in the form of cocktails or ice cream. This is a new fashion trend. Its design is incredibly diverse: it is made in the form of a jacket, lunar design, using powder, rubbing and more.
The image of tropical cocktails on marigolds is in demand on seaside holidays. Bright cocktails with ornate straws in shaped glasses, with slices of pineapple or mango, can be combined with images of tropical fruits or palm trees. An abundance of designs on nails or very large images do not look attractive. You need to remember a sense of proportion.

Palm trees on nails
Decorate your nail art with bright floral designs or palm trees for an incredibly stylish nautical design. By the way, you can draw a flower symbol of the particular country you are going to visit. In Greece, for example, olives are popular, and in Turkey hibiscus.
Each master in his own way depicts objects familiar to the eye, trees, flowers, palm trees. Palm trees are depicted as a full-fledged tree, or just a branch. The nail palette is replete with bright colors and designs, which creates an uplifting mood. The favorite “vest” design is simple and at the same time incredibly attractive.

Fish on nails
Manicure with fish on nails is the best idea for summer nail design in a marine style. It is made in blue, blue or green colors. Draw a fish with a thin brush or use stickers. The absolute decoration of nail design is a fabulous goldfish. It is presented in yellow or orange tones, decorated with rhinestones, glitter, and colored foil. A fish can be depicted on one finger.

Whale on nails
A nail design master recently suggested an image of this sea animal on nails, and it immediately won the hearts of fashionistas. A whale releasing a fountain of water above its head always evokes emotion. It is depicted on any color base, in most cases it is blue, turquoise or light blue. However, a manicure of amazing beauty and originality is obtained by depicting a white and blue figure of a whale on a beige base, and dividing it between the nails of adjacent fingers. The remaining plates are coated with blue matte varnish.

Dolphin on nails
A uniquely beautiful manicure with a frolicking pair of dolphins is obtained on a base made using the ombre technique. Dolphins are depicted in pairs on one nail. You can reproduce the figurine of a dolphin on each finger, alternating with the image of the depths of the sea, waves, shells or palm trees. Rhinestone decor gives your manicure a festive look.

Shark on nails
The image of the insidious inhabitant of the seabed, the shark, is portrayed by brave girls. An open toothy mouth or an image of the entire silhouette of a predator is performed both in frightening versions and in the form of cheerful cartoon heroines. A fashionable trend for this design was the combination of a shark image on one of the nails and an inscription on the other nails.

Crab on nails
A cute crab on nails looks playful and original. Looking at it, one remembers happy days of sea holidays and small crabs running between the cracks in the rocks. To ensure durability of the image, crabs are painted with thick gel polish. The drawing is not complicated and can be done at home. You can also simplify the work and use stickers.
The bright crab on the nails fits perfectly into a beach look and harmonizes perfectly with a swimsuit.

Sea Horse
The cheerful figurine of a seahorse looks great against the background of imitation waves, the setting sun, the depths of the sea or the blue sky. A French manicure in a contrasting color and the same seahorse color has become a favorite option for marine manicure. A matte black manicure with a gold seahorse is ideal for an evening summer celebration on vacation.

Starfish
The trend this season is a manicure with starfish. The techniques for performing this type of manicure are very different, as is the background for such a design. The star can be depicted in the depths of the sea on a blue or light blue background, or on the sand using yellow or gold. They can be painted on the nails, or they can be laid out with rhinestones or done using sculpting.

Scorpio on nails
Most often, ladies born under this zodiac sign prefer the choice of a Scorpio image on their nails. The design is quite long and it is more advisable to do it on long nails. The image made with rhinestones on plates coated with rich or dark shades looks original: wine, burgundy, dark purple or black.

Shell manicure
Manicure in the shape of a shell is especially popular in marine themes. The peculiarity of this design is the presence of textural elements. This season, nail design experts recommend an unusual design that turns the surface of the nail into a relief seashell. When combined with other nails with a glossy finish, the shell nail looks fresh and elegant.

Octopus on nails
An ombre manicure is best suited for drawing an octopus on your nails. Its image is not particularly difficult, so it can be done at home with a thin brush. Girls prefer to depict funny octopuses from cartoons, decorating them with silver or gold varnish, or colored shiny foil.
@anna_khokhlova_nails @nail_krasa @nailsmade
Ship on nails
This is a very current design for a marine manicure. The image of a miniature boat or pirate ship on the nail is usually combined with the attributes of ship life: an anchor or a steering wheel on adjacent fingers. Lovers of a laconic, strict style choose a calm base of beige or sand color. Rebels love to excite consciousness and attract increased attention to themselves. Their favorite colors to cover the plates are ultramarine, neon, bright red and orange.

Minimalism
Despite the fact that the main tone of nail art is still set by minimalism, during the summer holidays you can forget about it and decorate each nail in a completely unusual way, without worrying too much about matching the fashion trend.
For those representatives of the fair sex who find it difficult to move away from a laconic style, calmer types of nail designs are suitable. For them, decorating one single nail on the hand, using calm shades and geometric patterns would be ideal.
A marine manicure can be anything, the main thing is that it creates a mood of relaxation and joy. And a photo of a manicure at sea will help you choose the best options.
Shinju stones
This unusual option has been gaining popularity in recent years.
The Shinju stones look a bit like small colored pebbles from the seashore. Peculiarities:
This option is a special case of decoration, that is, it uses volumetric elements that give the manicure a special look.
The freedom of design is not limited in any way - stones can be laid out the way you want.
The most common and most beautiful options are laying out lines and stripes on the nails, as well as “scattering” them over the entire surface to be decorated.
One of the main roles in this option is played by the main color - it sets the style. And you need to select a palette for the Sinju stones themselves.
