Manicure “negative space” 2022-2023: “naked” French
French manicure “negative space” looks no less stylish, which is also very, very popular with lovely girls who prefer moderate and laconic nail design.
A great idea for a stylish “negative space” jacket with a black “smile,” but for spring and summer, give preference to bright and pastel shades. In addition, be creative in the execution of the jacket, creating an unusual and non-standard version of the “smile”.
Original and funny ideas for naked French manicure are shown in our gallery below, where you will find many more beautiful types of nail designs using the “negative space” technique, both for the office and for leisure.
Quick drawings
Not so long ago, a new direction arose, the meaning of which is to instantly apply picturesque and catchy images to the nails. First, the base is formed with watercolors or drops of gel polish. Next, the nail is covered with a sketch.
In addition to the resulting picture, elegant small fragments of gel polish are scattered randomly. Another option is the so-called cobwebs in the form of thin, chaotically intersected lines.
Stylish nail polish ideas for short nails
If you wear short nails, this is not a reason to refuse a noble manicure and expensive decor. Complex designs with numerous small details should not be chosen, because on a short nail plate they will not look as impressive as on long nails. But even if you prefer a plain finish with a glossy top, you can decorate it with a modern metallic rub or shiny gel polish with a cat-eye effect. The master can use stickers designed specifically for short nails, emphasizing their shape and beauty. The ombre effect is recommended for short nails, because with this design they will look visually longer.

decor with stripes
red manicure
flower marigolds
Light outline sketch
Another method of quickly covering a design is to blend and blend the colors directly on the nail while applying the image.
In this case, there is almost no need to waste time on drying. It is enough to maintain smooth color transitions and carry out light contour drawing.
Length matters
When it comes to the optimal length of nails, all men agree that there is nothing better than naturalness. The ideal option is an average length, at which the nails extend a couple of millimeters beyond the boundaries of the fingertips.
In this case, the marigolds can have an almond-shaped or oval shape. Among men there were many fans of square shapes. But almost everyone is negatively opposed to acute forms - men are simply afraid of such nails.
Practicing techniques on paper
In professionally taken photographs, popular new nail designs for 2022 may seem quite difficult for an amateur.
However, if you stretch your imagination a little, draw a couple of drafts on a piece of paper and thereby practice the technique, then in the future such sketches can be drawn in literally ten minutes.
Pastel colors
Not only pink nail polish has earned the approval of the stronger sex. The entire pastel palette was held in high esteem. If you want to give the impression of a well-groomed, sweet person, your collection of polishes will certainly include powdery, mint and soft blue shades.
White or light varnish base
The drawing in this case should be
- Plain;
- Two-color;
- Applied on an almost invisible translucent background.
As you can easily guess from the name, the style of this design should resemble a tattoo. Most often, a similar pattern is applied to white or as light as possible gel polish.
On the Internet you can find many illustrations with light-colored nails decorated in style with tattoos, which can become a good visual aid for nail art.
French
The survey showed that the French manicure is another manicure that almost all men like. The reason for such popularity is obvious - French design in its classic design looks laconic, elegant and feminine. The opposite sex, in turn, always appreciates the neatness and elegant simplicity of this manicure.
It is noteworthy that French never goes out of fashion, because the classics always remain out of competition. Fleeting trends only suggest diluting the usual design with current accents - drawings or decor as in the photo. Men are not against such experiments, provided they are laconic and restrained.
There's another reason why French is always a good idea. If you prefer a traditional design with a nude or transparent base, you will allow your nails to grow unnoticed without compromising the beauty of your manicure.
Men note that French manicure suits all girls without exception. It doesn’t matter which lady prefers the shape and length of her nails - the French a priori will look flawless.
Sketches on camouflage bases
After the appearance of translucent colored bases on the market, images printed on camouflage bases came back into fashion. They give the impression that the design was made directly on the natural surface of the nail.
Basic techniques for creating a new design
Creating a “naked” manicure on your nails is not difficult. After all, it involves following just a few basic rules, leaving room for imagination. Therefore, design in this style can vary from very complex to the simplest and, at the same time, stylish.
The principles for creating “negative space” are as follows:
- the nail plate is partially covered with pigmented varnish;
- there should be a clear, clearly visible separation between the colorless part and the colored part;
- the surface of the nail plate should be polished and as smooth as possible;
- The transparent areas of the nail can be further decorated at your discretion (patterns, stripes, rhinestones, sparkles).
Avant-garde sketch style
Previously, this is exactly how everything was done. However, today it is common to slightly adjust the shade of the nail using a transparent or translucent base.
Currently, all sorts of unusual ornaments in the form of catchy colorful circles, curls, and straight lines scattered at random are popular in this trend. A woman’s own imagination will help her choose the most suitable avant-garde sketch.
French manicure
French has long been entrenched in the list of the most sought-after and popular manicure options, so we decided to pay attention to it at the very beginning of our short discussion. It very successfully combines elegance, tenderness and femininity, and is also considered an indicator of good taste. In addition, French manicure was originally conceived as a universal design that would suit numerous outfits of models and movie stars. The classic version of the French coat is a stylish combination of a transparent, beige or pale pink base with a snow-white semicircular line at the tip of the nail plate - a smile, which can be complemented by unobtrusive designs and decorative elements in the form of a scattering of rhinestones, beads or sparkles. Modern ideas for such design allow ladies to experiment with the shape of the smile and the choice of shades, which more universally adapts the jacket to each individual look.
Always trendy nude
A pleasing sand manicure is applied using appropriate varnishes or camouflage primers that accurately imitate the shades of the skin or nail. Often, a similar manicure design with gel polish is used simultaneously with lengthening the plates with acrylic.
When forming the nail plate and increasing its elasticity, the base for the intended image is applied. Extensions should be done with discreet consumables, the color reminiscent of a natural nail.
Why the whole world is going crazy over “Russian manicure”
There is a new beauty trend in the USA and Europe – the so-called “Russian manicure”. An article was published in Italian Vogue
with comments from experts and photos from Instagram of Russian nail service professionals, a video of an American woman who was amazed at the quality of services in a Russian manicure salon in New York went viral on TikTok, and the Russian craftswoman
Lisa Kohn
, who “does her nails” with Kendal Jenner and Hailey Bieber , interviewed by top Russian and foreign media.
There are already more than half a million posts on Instagram using the hashtag #russianmanicure in all languages, and in the comments there are rave reviews from girls from all over the world. On your Instagram
manicurist from New York Ellie Gerstein admires “Russian techniques” and compares the work of our craftswomen with the work of a surgeon.
“Russian manicure is not a design, but a technique that involves the most painstaking and high-quality treatment of nails and cuticles. This requires almost surgical precision from the master,” she writes. A master from New York warns: “Russian manicure” is not done in 45 minutes. “Be prepared to sit for at least two hours, and if you decide to design your nails, the time will increase even more,” Gerstein writes.
What is “Russian manicure” and why is it so attractive? In fact, there is nothing “Russian” in this procedure, and under the fashion trend lies the familiar hardware manicure.
The main difference between the technique is that the procedure is done using a special machine with attachments (cutters), with which the master polishes the cuticle and treats the skin around the nail plate.
Germany is considered the birthplace of the device: the first nail treatment machine was invented by Eduard Gerlach, the son of the founder of the German brand of foot skin care products Gehwol back in 1969. Initially, the device was used only for pedicures, and only then was adapted for manicures. Why then is hardware manicure called “Russian”?
@emmaavishort Basically flexing on my ex
Han Jan — Peggy Gou
, told Gazeta.Ru
", the concept of "Russian manicure" has spread abroad due to the fact that it is customary there to do an unedged (European) manicure. The main difference between this manicure is that the cuticle and pterygium (the thin dried part of the cuticle, consisting of dead cells) are not removed with nippers or a device, but are only pushed back using a wooden or metal pusher.
“In Russia, clients are accustomed to trimmed manicure, which can be performed both in the classical way and using a machine, the main thing is that the cuticle and ptegirium are completely removed in the process. It is worth noting that in the USA, what is often meant by “Russian manicure” is, first of all, hardware manicure. That is, one that is performed using a device with manicure attachments,” she explains.

According to nail service master Maria Kuzina, hardware manicure is very popular among her clients, and over the past few years has practically replaced the “classic edged” manicure. Among the main advantages of the technique, she names the safety of the procedure and the duration of the effect.
“With a hardware manicure, it’s impossible to get cuts - that’s it. In addition, the device cleans the nail plate more thoroughly and does not injure the cuticle - you do not cut anything off with pliers and do not damage the skin. And if the procedure is done correctly and regularly, the cuticle does not grow back so quickly, and the manicure can be worn longer,” she explains.
The master considers another advantage of hardware manicure to be the absence of the need to pre-steam your hands, which virtually eliminates the possibility of “cutting off excess.”
“All this reduces the risk of infection, because the attachments do not have sharp parts and cannot cut the skin. After the procedure, all attachments must be sterilized in an autoclave with hot steam,” she explains.
Maria Kuzina explains the popularity of “Russian manicure” abroad by the fact that in Europe and the West the manicure itself is perceived not as another way to make oneself more beautiful, but only as a necessary hand care procedure. According to her, in Russia manicure is a creative process for both masters and clients. “Our manicure is done to match a new dress, and that’s normal. Girls in Europe and the USA see examples of the work of Russian masters on social networks and want the same,” she says.

Russian manicurists abroad are worth their weight in gold. As Dina K., a resident of France, told Gazeta.Ru, beauty services from Russians are very popular, and the quality of manicure really differs greatly.
“When I first moved to France, I couldn’t even imagine that getting a normal manicure or haircut would be a problem for me. I still remember with horror my wedding manicure, which was done to me at a local beauty salon. Firstly, they treated my cuticle terribly, and secondly, the coating was applied in such a thick layer that it lay out in waves. Of course, I didn’t wear it for a long time, everything peeled off and looked terrible,” she recalls.
The girl notes that in Russia all salons and masters are very client-oriented, while in France “nobody bothers.” “In Russia they always try to please the client, but here it’s different: if you don’t like it, go somewhere else,” complains Dina K. According to her, you can’t just come to the salon for a manicure and relax. “I had to supervise the entire process and even direct the technician to ensure that the nails were completely painted,” she says.
According to the stylist
Olga Krasotkina-Rieshouwer, Russian manicure is very popular in the Netherlands. “First of all, among our own – immigrants from Russia and Ukraine,” she clarifies. A high-quality manicure and pedicure costs about 120 euros, which is not cheap by local standards. “And this price will be in demand, most likely among emigrants, because the Dutch get a manicure from the locals for 15-30 euros. True, the manicure turns out to be of such quality that it’s unclear whether it’s before or after,” she says.
The stylist notes that Dutch women are ready to accept the cost of a Russian manicure, but only after they try it themselves and compare it. “Dutch women are quite picky about their appearance, and therefore, having tried “Russian manicure”, they usually become hooked on it,” she says.
Olga admits: despite the fact that in Russia she is accustomed to a perfect manicure, the procedure remains primarily a convenience for her. “A good manicure is convenient. When everything is smooth, nothing gets scratched, doesn’t cling, and you don’t have to think about how and where to fix it,” explains the stylist.
Varvara Kotova confirms that today Russian nail service masters have truly reached a high level of professionalism, and are highly valued abroad.
“We can definitely say that trends in manicure and nail design are set by masters from Russia. The well-known “under the cuticle” gel polish coating came from Russia and is in incredible demand both in our country and abroad. It is precisely thanks to the popularity of Russian masters in the West and their demand that we can say that the concept of “Russian manicure” appeared precisely thanks to masters from Russia,” she sums up.
Combination of many techniques
This type of nail art is considered more experimental. When applying bases and designs, a wide range of techniques already studied by the craftswoman is used. While working on the image, she actively introduces all kinds of decor into the composition, even if at first glance this will give the image an eclectic look.
As a result, amazing designs come out of the hands of craftswomen with
- Pieces of foil;
- Cobwebs;
- Rhinestones;
- Floral motifs.
Unsuccessful options
- A woman's worst nightmare is unkempt nails. Many girls mistakenly believe that a guy may not notice chewed, cracked plates or inflamed cuticles. The injustice lies in the fact that men do not pay attention to ornate designs, but they certainly linger on sloppy nails.
Almost all men have a positive attitude towards nails that are not covered with varnish at all. But hygienic manicure is of great importance.
- Absolutely all respondents spoke categorically against the abundance of rhinestones on long, sharp nails. Such a manicure looks aggressive and vulgar, and is rarely justifiable.
- An abundance of voluminous decor, sliders, cartoonish or colorful designs are also on this list - such a manicure looks provincial. Men generally do not like the desire for the “expensive-rich” effect. This design always loses to natural and laconic nail art.

Informal group leader
Nowadays you can buy so many accessories for such nail art on the Internet that it is difficult to contain your imagination when mentally composing the future appearance of your nails.
It must be admitted that the most fashionable manicure design this season will most likely be created precisely in the process of such a creative combination.
Red fantasies
If we talk about the manicure color that men like, we will not limit ourselves to just a nude palette. Scarlet shades became the undisputed leader among the bright palette. This design always has a disarming effect on men - just like a red linen on a bull.
A win-win option is a monochromatic red coating in a glossy finish. This color can also be used as accents in a stylish design.
It is worth noting that a manicure in an exquisite burgundy design was also among the men's favorites. Guys even agree to pair this beautiful color with a matte top.

All kinds of meaningful inscriptions
In 2022, all kinds of letters and symbols should appear on the fingers of students and ladies under 30 years old. Manicure designs for short nails with alphabetical semiotics began to come into fashion thanks to the appearance on the market of decals on a transparent base.
In this case, the inscriptions should be combined with
- Foil of a suitable color;
- Drops of watercolor;
- Triangles and trapezoids;
- Ethnic ornaments.
Men's manicure - trends 2021
Now this is not just a hygienic procedure with cuticle removal, filing and elegant sanding. The main innovation is the coating and design in men's manicure. The best thing about this innovation is that both look extremely masculine and have nothing to do with glamor. Just like tattoos have nothing to do with makeup and body painting. By the way, manicure “to match a tattoo” is one of the hottest trends in our case.
Popular lettering ideas
The simplest and most ingenious idea would be to put your initials on your index, middle and ring fingers.
True, you will have to scour Pinterest a little to find suitable calligraphic designs for the desired Cyrillic letters.
The second most popular idea will be runes. They are very simple in design, but each of them contains a lot of meanings.
This will become a useful motivational factor for the girl and will set her up to achieve a certain goal, for example, successfully passing a session.
There will be absolutely no difficulties in drawing such Slavic runes on your nails as
- Force;
- Rainbow;
- Support;
- Perun;
- Lelya;
- Bereginya.
Methods for performing a “naked” manicure
There are several ways to do a “naked” manicure yourself.
The simplest is to use manicure tape or regular tape. It is necessary to glue a segment of the nail surface covered with a transparent or camouflage layer, and then, after applying pigmented varnish to the remaining surface of the nail, peel it off. There will be an unpainted area on the plate.
The second way is to use decorative stickers or stencils. Glue a sticker with a pattern onto a nail coated with clear varnish and cover with top coat. This option looks no less impressive;
Another trick is to apply a camouflage or clear varnish to the nail surface, and on it, using suitable brushes, draw a floral pattern or any other. This manicure can look especially gentle.

Delicate design
Not boring, universal, suitable for different looks and occasions - this is all about a gentle manicure. Summer 2022 welcomes nude shades, translucent gel polishes, and is in no hurry to say goodbye to the spring trend - negative space manicure. Pale beige, soft pink, light caramel shades of gel polishes will beautifully complement laconic designs with black or white gel paint, monograms, and rhinestones.
Most people associate a pink tint with tenderness. But a blue manicure can look no less delicate. At sea, many girls choose bleached shades of sea wave, lightened azure, and mint.
Despite the emergence of many techniques and design variations, girls continue to choose the classic for their nails - French manicure. For vacation, this design is good because it will look equally beautiful with a swimsuit in a beach look, and with a cocktail dress in an evening look. French is also ideal as a pedicure at sea. We recommend choosing classic delicate color combinations – pink and white.
