Shellac has already managed to win the hearts of many girls. And this is not surprising, because such a coating not only fits perfectly on the nail, but also protects it. In addition, shellac can be used for absolutely any nail art design. We invite you to consider the best ideas for 2022.
Fashion trends
When choosing a manicure design, each girl first studies the nail art trends that are fashionable this season. Stylists assure that the palette of colors popular in 2022 will be simply huge. The trending shades, first of all, include: turquoise, soft pink, bright yellow, bright green, red, coffee, salmon, peach and lilac-gray. All of them will look great, both in monochrome and in different color combinations.
Short oval or almond-shaped nails will be popular in 2022. A square nail is allowed, but with maximally rounded edges.
A shellac manicure does not limit your choice of nail decor. These can be rhinestones, kamifubuki, various volumetric elements, etc. And due to the fact that such a coating is durable, decorative elements will also be reliably protected.
Shellac manicure spring 2022 with acrylic sand
You can drown out the too obvious shine of glossy varnish using acrylic sand. Spring designs should be dominated by delicate pastel colors, unless, of course, we are talking about evening manicure or nail art for special occasions. In such situations, use deep dark shades of both varnish and acrylic powder.
Shellac with sand 2022 allows for a wide variety of combinations and colors. Acrylic sand is applied to the finished base, sprinkling grains onto the surface of the nail with gentle movements. It is not recommended to cover the finished manicure with a top coat, otherwise the design will lose its attractive velvety quality.
The effect that acrylic sand gives is difficult to achieve by any other means, so this textured design will be especially in demand among fashionistas in the spring of 2022. Remember that shellac with sand is quite difficult to remove from the surface of the nail, so in order not to damage the nail, contact a specialist.
Plain manicure
For fans of monochrome nail polish, shellac is ideal, as it always fits perfectly on the nail plate and lasts for a long time.
Secrets of perfect nails with French manicure
In order for a French manicure to look perfect on your nails, you need to take care of the condition of your skin. To do this, you need to provide complete care for your nails and skin. Every week you should:
- Apply moisturizing masks;
- Carry out procedures with belongings and peeling;
- Use moisturizing hand and nail cream daily.
Nails not only need to be painted, but also regularly filed, trimmed, cuticles removed, etc. A beautiful nail shape can be achieved at home if you take the time to make adjustments.
French stripes must be applied with great care. They should be neat and symmetrical. An oblique stripe, even on one nail, can spoil the impression of the entire manicure.
There is no need to lift the strips too high. On natural short nails this will look unnatural and will visually make the nail shorter. To make the white line look beautiful on your nails, you need to position the strip so that it reflects the curve of the cuticle.
The more the cuticle is curved, the deeper the “smile”. If the French stripe is too straight, then a “smile” can be painted with a flat brush.

French and lunar designs have been popular for many years. Moreover, each new season, stylists offer some changes for them and complement them with different decor. Thanks to the use of shellac, this manicure will last on your nails for several weeks and at the same time looks bright and beautiful.

Shellac mirror manicure spring 2022
If you are already tired of the French manicure and moon manicure, then pay attention to the increasingly popular trend of the latest season - mirror design. It looks especially impressive on oval-shaped nails and almonds. The unusualness of this nail art lies in the use of a special coating that visually resembles a mirror or polished metal.
In manicure stores you can find polishes with a gold, blue, brown or silver base. Visually, you get the feeling that hot metal has frozen on your nails and covered the nail plate with an even layer. “Metallic” varnishes can be used to highlight the “smile” line, the root hole, or make them part of the design. In any case, the glossy surface of the nail will look amazing and will definitely attract the attention of others.
Shellac drawing
Animalistic drawings will regain their positions in 2022. Therefore, to be on trend, it is enough to apply an imitation of animal color to your nails. But don't overdo it. There should not be much animal print in the image.
Floral designs will not lose their relevance either. A novelty of the season are flowers painted with matte varnish on a glossy base. Chamomiles, daisies, roses, cornflowers and dandelions will be popular. For a special occasion, the manicure can be decorated with rhinestones or other shiny decor.
Geometric patterns remain no less popular. These can be not only lines or circles, but also rhombuses or even abstract compositions.
If you don’t know how to draw or are not sure that the drawing will turn out perfect, you can use special stickers or stamping.
For a festive manicure, you can make a design with rhinestones. Glitter powder is also very popular.
Fashionable shellac colors: popular ideas for spring 2022

Shellac manicure in all shades of khaki does not leave the leading position. Use the boldest colors from pale sand to brown-green. As an alternative to too aggressive khaki, you can use olive color. Strict and sometimes cold shades of khaki need to be diluted with decor with small shiny pigments, rhinestones or stamping.
Not a single spring season is complete without bright and rich shades of manicure, which fashionistas rush to apply on their nails after the restrained and dark colors of winter design. The rich colors energize and give a good mood.
"Broken glass"
If you've never had a broken glass manicure before, now is the time to get one. To do this you will need a special film or foil.
Using small pieces of any metallized foil, a stylish coating is created. You can apply them to all nails at once, or highlight accent nails with them.
For those who don’t have time to lay out pieces, stickers have been specially created that replicate glass shards. But in order for them to last a long time and look neat, after application, they must be covered with a protective layer.
Foil can be used to match the base coating or be a contrasting shade. For a holiday manicure, you can use foil of any color applied to a black coating. For fans of business style, pastel, cream or silver pieces on a transparent or neutral background will be appropriate.

Have you already had a manicure with shellac?
Suitable shape and length for light nails
Each woman decides for herself how much to grow and how to shape her nails. Often, your occupation, hobby or everyday life does not allow you to grow luxurious long nails. If a lady is free to choose, her personal understanding of convenience, beauty and practicality comes to the fore. Some people adore long records, while for others the average size seems like the ultimate dream. The same can be said about form.
If we consider the shape and size of relatively pastel, soft colors, then the opinion of nail designers is clear: the average length is considered the most suitable. In this case, the form can be any, without restrictions. You should focus on fashion trends. This season, the trend is oval (almond-shaped) and square shapes, close to natural.
A square visually lengthens the nails and provides more space for decoration, which is important when using painting, intricate patterns or sculpting. In addition, this shape makes the plates stable and they are less likely to break, unlike pointed tips. To design such marigolds, all known techniques are used.
Almond-shaped or oval nails look elegant and feminine. They give the fingers a sophisticated, aristocratic look. Those who prefer just such nails need to know an important rule: the tips cannot be weighed down with massive rhinestones, massive decor, or modeling, as there is a risk of breaking them.
