To give your hands a well-groomed look, it is not at all necessary to use the entire available palette of colors. A correctly selected monochromatic manicure serves as an excellent finishing touch and favorably emphasizes the image of a fashionista. This design is universal and serves as a wonderful platform for decorations, elegant or flashy decor. That is why it is used for everyday wear, on holidays, and at work.
The monochrome palette suits romantic girls, reserved, strict ladies and bright, temperamental individuals. Finding the perfect color to match a woman’s age, character, and status is not difficult, unlike the capricious multi-colors. Another undoubted advantage is that the length and shape of the nail plates are completely unimportant. An experienced master can easily select the desired shade, and fashionistas themselves know “their” colors very well.
There are a few general rules to keep in mind when applying the coating yourself:
- People naturally have a variety of skin tones and undertones. It can be creamy pinkish, white, yellowish, bluish or greenish. There are cool, warm and neutral tones. In addition, summer tanning or going to the solarium, skin whitening compounds, have an effect. Therefore, craftsmen very carefully select the color of varnish to match the skin. For fair-skinned people, nude, warm, light shades are more suitable. Dark-skinned women look great with bright, rich and dark colors;
- the choice of varnish largely depends on the occasion for which a monochromatic manicure is created, the outfit chosen by the woman and the overall image. Not all combinations are suitable for a stylish suit for important negotiations, a formal dress or loose casual clothes - jeans, T-shirts, sundresses;
- Shiny jewelry is used for evening and special occasions. They are relevant at weddings, discos, and parties;
- The fashionista's makeup also plays a role. The nail coating should be harmoniously combined with the colors on the face. For almost invisible, light makeup, use pastel, white colors. Heavy, “combat” coloring requires matching: marigolds should also attract attention with rich tones and sparkling decor.
Nail designers suggest not limiting yourself to standard techniques. Every year they offer fresh, delightful ideas, and encourage fashionistas to surrender to the will of their imagination and imagination, bringing to life amazing, unusual designs.
Nail designs in one color scheme remain popular year after year. His versatility and versatility won the hearts of women once and for all. Immortal, classic solutions are only complemented by new techniques, decor, and innovative inventions of the nail industry.

Lace manicure – new for 2018
Last season it became fashionable to decorate nails with pieces of lace. Next year, lace manicure remains in trend, but it is slightly changed. Now you can simply draw the lace. But in order to draw all the small details, you need to be a professional and use special tools.
Some masters manage to draw lace that is no different from the real thing. White, black designs will look great on a neutral background - white, pink, peach, etc. Lace can be not only white, black, but even gold and silver.
Plain manicure with glitter
Today, nail designers recommend not limiting yourself to the usual techniques, but feel free to try something new. Here are some tips for doing your own nails:
- for everyday wear, use a shimmering stretch;
- to enhance the effect, sparkling sparkles are applied to 1-2 fingers over the entire plate;
- if you need a more modest option, then the jacket, holes, stripes oriented along and across, diagonally highlight the shine;
- a solemn image requires appropriate decisions. Therefore, shining gold, silver or glitter with large, curly elements are chosen as accents.
Plain manicure with monograms
With the help of elegant patterns, designers create amazingly beautiful works of art on the surface of the marigolds. Smooth, intertwining lines form a delightful lace that you want to look at endlessly. Monograms are made in different styles, depending on the wishes of the fashionista:
- gloss on matte top;
- sand, acrylic powder or matte finish on a glossy varnish to match;
- contrasting vignettes – white, black, colored;
- stamping monograms using ready-made stamps, stickers, stencils, sliders;
- patterns on a transparent background in combination with a single-color jacket;

Another option for designing nails without using a pattern is a minimalist design. Within this style there are different elements that add expressiveness to the entire design. However, the entire design should have a calm color combination without bright accents. The design uses: “cobweb”, lines, strokes, dots, inscriptions and dotted decor. For example, sparkles on a matte background.
Matte top for monochromatic manicure
The velvety coating makes the color shades much deeper and more noble. If gloss immediately catches the eye, then matte nails leave a lasting, favorable impression of their owner. This design retains mystery, looks aristocratic and respectable, and is appropriate even for a royal reception. How can you diversify it?
- Highlight the French coat with glossy varnish or, conversely, use a matte top coat on a glossy background.
- Complete the composition with one or two fingers with a glossy finish, kamifubuki, stones, drawings.
- Monograms, 3D images in tone, applied with paints, sand, gloss.
The gradient of monochrome shades from the little finger to the thumb or on the surface of the plate, along or across, looks interesting.

Fact about manicure
The first colored nail polish was invented in 1932. It was a bright scarlet hue. A little later, the industry mastered the production of varnishes of other colors.
Trends 2018
Shellac coating has been in the lead for several seasons now and does not give the lead to other varnishes. But little by little designers are starting to use other coatings. The shape of the nails can be semicircular and almond-shaped, but in no case square. The ends of the nails can be made slightly pointed - this gives them brightness. But the nails should be of medium length; a rounded shape is more suitable for short nails.
Designers say no to long nails, preferring to work with short or medium lengths. Avoiding too long nails is justified by the fact that they are inconvenient in everyday life. In addition, they make the image vulgar and flashy. Nowadays elegance, naturalness and practicality are most valued, and long nails do not correspond to this. There is no need to cut the cuticle, you just need to push it back with a wooden stick. Nails, first of all, should be well-groomed, not drawing close attention to themselves with too bright a color, but charming with their sweet beauty.
Plain manicure on long nails
Well-groomed elongated nail plates are the embodiment of femininity, passion, beauty and grace. They visually make the fingers and hand more aristocratic and thin. Moreover, the extensive surface allows you to realize creative solutions and unusual fantasies. The shape can be any, but almond-shaped plates are more popular.
Liquid stones – incredible popularity in 2022
You will see that nail design winter 2022 with the effect of liquid stones has become incredibly popular, the photos reflect all its beauty. You can depict any precious stone on the nail plate - ruby, emerald, pearl, sapphire, diamond, etc. This 2018 nail design (look at the new photo) is suitable for nails of any shape, this winter will be the beginning for it.
Before inserting the gemstone, the nails are treated with gel polish and polarized. Then a transfer foil with a cell for the precious stone is applied to the nail. Next, a special gel is poured into the cell, which creates the effect of liquid stones. This manicure turns out to be more durable than one decorated with rhinestones.
At the same time, your nails do not experience any special stress, so you will not experience any discomfort when wearing them. But applying them is not so easy; a professional can handle this matter. But if you don’t have experience, you can buy an imitation gemstone made of polymer and stick it on the nail plate.
Plain manicure with rubbing
Rubbing is the finest powder that is added to the top layer. To secure, the ends of the nails are painted with a base polish or top coat with a sticky layer, and then a finishing gel is applied.
With the help of powder, an iridescent, shimmering pearl or mirror surface is obtained, which enhances the impact of the main color and creates a fabulous “wow!” effect.
Volumetric nail art on a plain manicure
One of the most spectacular, expressive techniques for decorating nails. For this purpose, gel varnishes or acrylics are used. Usually one finger is singled out, carefully choosing the subject and style of the image. These can be fancy vignettes, flowers, butterflies, different in height and volume. The designs are complemented with pebbles, small sparkling chips, silver or golden glitter.
