Fashion trends 2022 for nude technology
The most popular this season are monochromatic coatings in four primary colors:
- milky white;
- light peach;
- delicate pink;
- light beige.
Masters often complement the classic neutral background with monochrome or color drawings, patterns, bright or peeking out from the depths, fraught with mystery. They also use colorful solutions, decorations, and droplets. The only immutable rule that should be followed is careful adjustment of the shape of the nails. It must be correct and symmetrical.
Marble design
Imitation of natural structures always attracts attention and looks both gentle and original. In this option, it is possible to use not only a nude palette, but also other shades, for example, contrasting black, white, dark brown or graphite, which will help recreate the natural patterns of stones. We decorate the nails with the selected base and apply stains on top using crumpled foil. To bring the design as close to natural as possible, craftsmen recommend using a varnish that is lighter or darker than the base or combining several shades at the same time. Glitter in this variation can be applied to a ready-made design or directly participate in the design, beautifully highlighting the accent nail.

It is important to take into account the fact that the beige range has a range, ranging from light yellow shades to almost brown.
A magnificent combination, accents of beige with “gold” will make a beige (nude) manicure festive and visually bright. What can be applied:
- Golden glitter. It is used when you need to outline a nail or a smile line along the edge, create stripes, vertical or horizontal waves on the nail.
- Gold foil. This material is used to combine stained glass or broken glass on marigolds.
- Foil strips with glitter. They will effectively highlight a beige (nude) manicure and give it the finishing touch.
- A variety of decorative elements. You can find a wide variety of them in stores.
What will add luxury and beauty to a manicure? These are rhinestones. They can decorate any design. When it comes to French, rhinestones are especially popular here, since, usually, they are the only detail that will make the entire design noble.
This is typical mainly for a classic French jacket, where there are no additions in the form of drawings or additional color splashes.
Beige is a color that goes well with other shades. It is important here that the second color does not dominate, suppressing beige, since beige is often the basis for applying the pattern, and not the main design. Since it is the beige French manicure that is being considered, it is appropriate to use the following as additions:
- Black. It is used as a contour of a smile line, auxiliary stripes, and a pattern on 2-3 nails. Prints with floral and leopard themes look ideal.
- Burgundy. If you add just a little bit of burgundy beige to the design, the design will immediately become attractive. Also, burgundy contributes to the fact that beige, being cold, becomes outwardly “warmer”.
- White. Cold appearance, but this range has purity, grace and lightness;
- Gold and silver. These luxurious colors will add richness and luxury to your manicure, without decorations, drawings or other decorative elements;
- Pastel shades. In any case, this is an excellent combination, sophisticated and harmonious.
Diagonal French manicure is becoming increasingly popular. Many girls also prefer straight, double, reverse and lunar French. The line can be in the form of a wave, a zigzag, or a dotted line. It can create a convexity or a 90-degree angle in the center of the nail plate, have clearly defined contours, or blurred if it is a gradient.
Since beige can hardly be called an expressive color, a design that combines different types of French manicure on one hand will look harmonious.
The design of a beige French manicure depends on how much experience the girl has in the field of nail design. You can use motifs that are complex in execution, as well as an easy version, where a simple smile line is made in a straight line across the nail plate.
