Psychologists warn that the lack of well-groomed hands with manicure entails insecurity, and as we know, this is a dangerous enemy of well-being. Low self-esteem prevents you from achieving success in all areas of life. Of course, timidity or self-doubt are given to us by nature, but some adjustments can be made: take care not only of your wardrobe, but also of your manicure using durable shellac. By the way, shellac is not quite the correct name for a nail coating. It’s just that the American one long ago released a gel polish under the name “Shellac”, which very quickly gained popularity and since then all other gel polishes have been habitually called shellac.
Brand logos on business manicure using shellac
There are cases when management demands from their female subordinates a business manicure in branded colors or with the symbols of the company itself. And the fashion trend in the form of manicures with logos of famous brands is gaining popularity, as proven by vivid examples of the most stylish fashionistas from INSTAGRAM.
Symbol of the year
Of course, you can depict a metal rat, which is a symbol of 2022.

There are practically no people who don't like the color red. Even if you think that French manicure or pastel shades suits you best for work, that day X still comes when you uncontrollably want to break taboos and traditions. A long time ago, the famous designer Valentino Garavani of the famous brand “VALENTINO” said that “red color heals melancholy and despondency.” Try a spectacular red shellac manicure when creating a business look. Maybe this is exactly the best way to get rid of the blues? After all, a red shellac manicure will fit perfectly into your existing image and will be a great addition to a business suit. But if you are still so conservative and cannot afford a plain red manicure with shellac, then there is a way out: highlight just one nail or use the proposed options for a French manicure with red shades.
Pastel shades
Pastel shades are distinguished by their versatility. Their advantage is that they are acceptable in the image of workers of all professions (after all, many positions require restraint in manicure).
Nail designs in pastel colors look gentle and not provocative. It can be combined with a matte finish, which is also in trend this year.
Pastel manicure is universal because it looks great on any length of nails and will help you out if one broken nail forced you to shorten all the others.
Look how beautiful delicate shades look on a short nail length.

Trend 2022 – business manicure using minimalist technique
Shellac, despite its practicality, requires increased attention and work tactics from the master. Beginners who work with shellac can practice business manicure in a minimalist style. For a very long period of time, the palm in business shellac manicure was occupied by a mesh in the form of lines of varying thickness. Then this design gave way to small flowers. And today, minimalist prints in the form of single dots, stripes and other simple figures are relevant. Technically executed minimalism in the form of graphic abstraction, birds or flowers on a nude basis is the 2022 trend in the world of business manicure.
Nail shapes popular this year
In 2022, nail designs with a natural, natural shape are encouraged. Sharp corners, clear squares are what you should avoid, but long nails are back in fashion today.
If your favorite shape is a pike or stiletto, then consider smoothing it out a little and replacing it with, for example, an almond or pointe shoe. Below we will tell you in more detail and show the manicure options that will become the main ones in the work of nail artists this summer.

Pointe shoe nail shape
She is also called “ballerina” for her elegance and sophistication. The nail plate becomes narrower towards the free edge, but does not acquire a sharp shape.
It combines an almond shape with a soft square shape. Most often, this shape looks good on long nails.
This is interesting! At the dawn of its popularity, this trend was actively promoted by such media personalities as Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian.
Pointe shoes with one tone coating
Almond shaped nails
These are neat marigolds, the name of which speaks volumes about their shape.
There is no room for sharp outlines, only smooth lines that turn into an almond-shaped tip.
Making such a form yourself is difficult. Not everyone can create the right tip of a nail without making it sharp.
If you don’t have enough experience in the nail industry, it’s better to trust a professional. The minimum length of an overgrown nail plate to create this shape is 5 millimeters.
Examples of work with almond-shaped nails

Great option for summer manicure
Metallic: a creative 2022 option for office nail art
Applying mirror shellac to nails creates a stunning effect. At first glance, someone might say that such a manicure is not acceptable at work, but designers recommend moving away from standards and stereotypes in 2022. Of course, the most popular business shellac manicure among business women is one that is plain and suitable for office attire. The pearlescent monochromatic metal coating also meets this criterion. This business manicure with a metallic effect is suitable for bold, purposeful business women.
Rubbing
Rubbed manicure is one of the main nail design trends of summer 2018.
Rubbing is a pigment in powder form that has a beautiful shine. The texture resembles a light weightless powder. Initially, it was used to create a mirror or metal coating, but now the scope of its application has expanded significantly.
When using rubbing, the skill, accuracy and patience of the nail artist are very important. The final result directly depends on this.
Types of nail designs for summer 2022 with rubbing:
| Type of rubbing | The effect of using the rub |
| Prism | This type of rubbing is often confused with holography, but it has a finer pigment and creates a smooth, pleasant shimmer. |
| Holographic | When using such a rub, every part of it is visible. It goes well with fashionable colors and is best suited for covering the entire nail plate. |
| Metallic shine | A trendy rub that, when applied correctly, creates the perfect “metallic” effect on the nails. There is a pigment with silver, pearl and chrome shine. |
| Rub in with fine glitter | Creates a shimmering effect, looks beautiful on the tips of the nails, and allows you to create a smooth transition (from more intense to less noticeable application). |
| Chafer | One of the most spectacular rubbings, which changes color when viewed from different angles. In other words, a chameleon rub. |
| Pearl | It softens the base color of the gel polish, making it more delicate and giving it a pearly shine. So, for example, red gel polish will turn pale pink when applied. |
| Northern lights | It is similar to chameleon rub, but does not include warm shades in its palette and looks more “cold”. Black or white gel polish is often used as a base for this rubbing. |
| Golden rub | Thanks to this effect, you can create a luxurious, expensive manicure. This rub is usually used to cover the entire nail plate. |
Rubbing “May bug”
French office manicure with shellac
There are quite a few variations of French office manicure with shellac. It fits perfectly with standard office style requirements. Very often, business women practice nude or beige shades when creating a business manicure with shellac, because due to their hectic activity and constant employment, they cannot break out and run to the salon for a manicure at any moment, and there are fewer chips and scratches on natural colors only noticeable. But in 2022, French manicure for the business sector, made in bright shades, is also allowed.
New manicures for summer 2022 – majolica
Such new products in the nail industry owe their origin to the same type of pottery, which is made from baked clay, that is, pieces of majolica, and decorated with painted enamel. This manicure is distinguished by bright colors and is distinguished by a mosaic method of applying a design, as a result of which magical ornaments or flowers of incredible beauty appear on the nails. Neon and acidic shades used to create the design will beautifully highlight tanned skin, so this new product can safely be called the ideal manicure for the summer season. Patterns can be placed only on some nails or beautifully decorated on each finger. In this case, everything depends on your decision. In this case, there is no need to duplicate drawings at all.
Majolica is an incredible amount of design ideas and a great opportunity to bring your fantasies to life.
Summer is a great time for experimentation, and a beautiful manicure and well-groomed hands are considered the ideal complement to any feminine look. So why not combine these definitions?
Colored French and foil
Even a colored jacket will look interesting in combination with a foil accent. You can combine several colors to create a single composition.
A summer manicure can not only create a good mood, but also completely change your look. It is important not to be afraid of experiments and give free rein to your imagination.
Australian manicure - new care for the hands of a business woman
The fashionable world of nail art has its own special laws that change every season. In 2022, Australian manicure is very popular, which eliminates the use of water during the procedure. The cuticle is removed with a special file made from Japanese abrasive, which not only effectively removes dead and unnecessary cells, but also significantly improves blood circulation. After an Australian manicure, your nails grow by leaps and bounds.
Ombre or gradient manicure
A gradient manicure (also called ombre) is a nail design in which one color smoothly transitions into another, usually several tones lighter or darker.
However, recently quite contrasting combinations have become increasingly common.
The most striking color combinations include: purple and pink, dark blue and soft blue, lemon yellow and deep orange. Any transition to a lighter tone or transition to white looks neat, fresh, but not provocative.
Gradient manicure is often complemented with a small amount of rhinestones or decorative stones, designs or patterns. The combination with rubbing or the “negative space” design, which we wrote about above, looks great.
Summer ombre option
Designs with rhinestones, sparkles, and decorative stones are another option for an elegant manicure that won’t take too much time.
You can use rhinestones, sparkles or stones to create a moon manicure or designate a French manicure. With their help you can lay out graceful smooth lines, stripes and patterns.
Wells are allocated in three ways:
- Convex line;
- Concave line;
- Triangular shape.
Sometimes the entire nail plate is covered with sparkles or small rhinestones. This option is especially appropriate for a monochromatic manicure. Simple geometry lined with rhinestones or a sparse line looks beautiful.
Do not cover all your nails with rhinestones and stones. A lot is not always good. Swarovski stones look beautiful and luxurious, creating an “expensive” look.
Rhinestones can be transparent or colored, for example, blue, purple, emerald, ruby.
A design with stones and rhinestones will not always be provocative. If you use delicate pastel shades, the manicure will become a natural complement to your everyday, and even office, look.
It is best to create such a manicure using gel polish, high-quality rhinestones and stones. Rhinestones must be glass, otherwise they will quickly wear off, lose their shine and look cheap and untidy.

Features of applying shellac when creating a business manicure
The best nail coating for modern manicure is shellac. In appearance, it is no different from an ordinary bottle of varnish, but in composition they are completely different. And the working technique is significantly different. Shellac is applied to the base coat with a tacky layer and then sealed with a finish. Moreover, each layer is dried in a special lamp from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, depending on the consistency and color of the shellac. For example, black and white shellacs are the most harmful and capricious.

Beautiful manicure design – fine art on nails
Choosing a design for a manicure is a task for strong-willed women with an excellent nervous system. And all because the variety of options makes even the most sophisticated beautyholics confused, throwing them into the abyss of despair. No need to panic! This is why you read the ProstoNail portal, so as not to be overwhelmed by a difficult choice. Our experts will competently, qualifiedly and intelligibly tell you about the latest trends in nail art, give colorful examples and help you decide on the desired idea, as well as suggest ways to implement it. At the start, attention, let's go.
Fashion is a very capricious lady and it’s not easy to please her whims. To create a truly fashionable, but at the same time quite original decor on your nails, you need to put in a lot of effort. To begin with, we recommend studying primary fashion sources, such as glossy magazines, Internet portals, and don’t forget to scroll through your Instagram feed, peering at the manicured fingers of celebrities and it-girls. Or just open our article and read it carefully, saving the juiciest nail art to the “Favorites” board.
We invite you to slightly reconsider the already established categories in the manicure world, modifying familiar designs and giving them something new:
- The design of the New Year's manicure is very monotonous: snowflakes and Christmas trees, standard tinsel and an image of a red-nosed grandfather. But, when choosing decor for the New Year, we change the design of the apartment from time to time, so why not do the same with the decor of the marigolds? For example, instead of the usual silver or golden sparkles, you can resort to the Gzhel effect. What is this? A type of painting on traditional ceramics using white paint as a background and blue pigment as decoration. You can make such a New Year's design at home, since it does not require a lot of materials and skill;
- Continuing the theme of cold and frost, let's look at a simple way to diversify your winter manicure. To do this we need a little patience, a little imagination and a unique metallized film Minx. It can be attached to the entire surface of the nail plates, achieving a trendy chrome shine, or you can decorate only part of the nail with it, imitating a geometric pattern;
- wedding manicure designs with classic white flowers or volumetric sculpting are also outdated. And instead of resurrecting it from oblivion, the masters propose replacing pompous monograms with laconic and self-sufficient miniature sparkles. Nails with rhinestones of tiny sizes and different shapes look incredibly tender and original, complementing the delicate look of the bride. The main thing is not to overdo it and “plant” one pebble on one nail. A good idea for decorating a wedding manicure is also to use ombre, but not in the classic white tones, but in other pastel options, including stretching from beige to blue;
- After the cold weather has receded, I want something especially weightless and light, romantic and somewhat naive. Chiffon dresses with polka dots and straw boaters, of course, somewhat save the situation, but the design of a spring manicure completes the fashionable look. Here pastel shades rule the roost, forming wonderful combinations. So, you can repeat a simple “crayon” design, accessible even for beginners. It involves the use of adhesive tape and a couple of bottles of varnish in a neutral color. Imitating the pattern of a sweet candy, apply the pigment to your nails and let them dry. Voila, your gorgeous design is ready! The “unicorn” design is also somewhat similar, where whitish strokes are placed in a chaotic manner on a nude background;
- The design of a summer manicure should definitely be more daring and bright, more original and bold than all the previous ones. This is because hot parties on the beach, beautiful sunsets by the sea and tasting a cool mojito simply require your stunning appearance. A chic option would be the “Glazed Donut” or “Melting Ice Cream” design. In addition to its original symbolism, such drips of bright yellow or purple paint attract all eyes and collect all the likes on Instagram;
- The design of autumn manicure is beautiful with the depth of dark, rich, seductive shades, among which the undoubted favorite is marsala, wine, brown, and now also noble red shellac. Add an imitation stone texture to their background, creating a marble design and laudatory odes to your perfect taste are guaranteed;
- French manicure design also does not lose its relevance. But instead of the classic beige-nude-pink color scheme with snow-white smile lines, come bold, contrasting, and sometimes even crazy color combinations of blue and red, green and crimson. Or a deliberately blurred, unclear line of the free edge, creating a careless effect that leads all nail trends.
Regardless of whether you are trying to create a delicate manicure design or bring to life a daring idea with black gel polish, you will definitely need a number of decorations that add variety even to a monochromatic coating.
| Item name | What is it used for? |
| Kamifubuki | Fun, ultra-thin pieces of colored or transparent plastic in different shapes and sizes. “Sit” on a sticky layer of colored varnish and cover with top coat |
| Rhinestones | Nowadays, either miniature, barely noticeable Swarovski stones, or massive crystals of often irregular shape and “dirty” natural colors are in fashion. |
| Fimo | These are plastic sticks with a specific picture inside. They need to be cut and attached to a sticky layer of gel polish, after treating the edges with a glossy topcoat. |
| Yucca rub and flakes | The latter will be useful to you for creating that very trendy effect of stained glass nails, and the rubbing will serve well, complementing a futuristic look with mirrored or chrome elements. When working with rubbing, be extremely careful; due to its flowability, it can stain the entire workspace |
| Sequins and glitter | Sequins are smaller iridescent particles, while glitter are large pieces of shimmer that block the light. When experimenting with sparkles, play with contrasts, without being afraid to cover them with a matte topcoat |
| Flock | Synthetic fluffy material that adheres directly to the sticky base layer. Looks quite strange, but definitely original |
| Metal rivets | Another “trick” of the spring-summer 2022 season. They work on the principle of piercing and look no less non-trivial; |
| Dried flowers | Remember we mentioned that the fishbowl design is back in fashion. Only now the “filling” should be done not on sparkles and glitter, but on dried flowers. The spectacle is simply mesmerizing |
| Transferable tattoos | There is no need to confuse them with children's stickers, because transfer tattoos for nails are similar to slides, characterized by incredible durability and pigmentation |
We are sure that our bright photos will inspire you to make an appointment with a specialist at the salon or blow off the dust from your home manicure collection. Dare and don’t be afraid of experiments - they are the key to your effectiveness.
Tips on how to photograph nails beautifully for Instagram
Let's get straight to the point. How to beautifully photograph your nails for Instagram? There are several general recommendations that will help everyone who runs a manicure account.
- General style. It is important not only how individual publications look, but also whether they fit together. You must stick to one style so that a person gets aesthetic pleasure from every second on the page.
- Pose. Relaxed hands and fingers brought together. No “kryakozyabra”, maximum naturalness. You can take some small object. Often, for example, a telephone is used for this.
- Background. The most democratic option is a plain “backdrop”. Follow the rule of the opposite: bright nails - a simple background, a classic manic - add details.
- Lighting. You can simply use the light from the window - pull back the curtains and flick your hand. Another good option is bright lamps on both sides. If there is no strict budget limit, you can buy a photo box and devote the free time to new clients. Also pay attention to the glare - if the coating has jambs, the glare will give it away instantly. And in general, good light will let users know how well you do your job and whether they should contact you.
- Treatment. Often a regular phone is enough. It is not necessary to dive into picture parameters, change ISO and other important things. Nowadays apps make life so much easier. Processing photos with nail designs is not something where you need to reinvent the wheel.
Instagram as a platform for promoting services
Instagram is a social network with photographs. How can she even help with finding clients to provide services? In fact, now that the traffic of such resources is huge, more and more functions are appearing that turn accounts into trading platforms. Whether you design nails, take photographs of people, or paint pictures, the best social networking site for making money is that it provides visual content that you can use to present your work.
Summer nail design with berries 2022 new photos
When else can you admire juicy strawberries, slices of watermelon and juicy citrus slices, if not in the summer of 2022? Using the example of the next summer design, we will consider the technique of working with sliders. There are a huge number of decals designed for manicure. The easiest way to work is with transfers, which are ready-made drawings on film. Trim off the excess background and soak the decal in water. The base will come off easily. Using tweezers, place the picture on the nail. After drying, coat with top coat or clear varnish. With the help of such pictures you can turn the simplest classic manicure into a bright summer manicure for 2018.
