Nail art industry - fashion trends of the season
Modern fashion in manicure is good because it does not set any boundaries or put forward any restrictions on creativity. The general trends that will be in trend this season are naturalness, even on extended nails . As for the design, it will be very different - from monochrome to complex decor or pattern . French and lunar manicures, the effect of broken glass, chameleon and designs from slider stickers remain fashionable in 2018.
Fashionable “fluffy” manicure
Few people know that the symbol of this year is considered to be a diamond and it will be very clearly visible in manicure fashion. Therefore, decor using sparkles and rhinestones will be at the height of fashion. The design of manicure on short nail plates, as well as on long ones, will be based on fashionable novelties of past years and this season:
- the main hit of the season is to apply a single-color varnish, and decorate several nails with a pattern or sparkles;
- fashionable shape of the nail plate - spade-shaped, almond-shaped and oval in a shortened or elongated version;
- Playing with different textures will also become very popular.
Cat eye manicure
Lunar delicate nail design 2022
Girls who can boast that their nails grow quite quickly know that in order for their manicure to remain fresh and neat for as long as possible, they should choose the 2022 lunar gentle manicure technology. Moreover, the smile at the base of the nail should be painted over exclusively with transparent varnish. So, as the nail grows, the transition of the natural color to the varnish will be invisible. The lunar delicate nail design for 2022 can be decorated with rhinestones, designs, or even sparkles can be added.
Current nail colors and lengths
2018 continues the tradition, which means the length of the nail plate should protrude beyond the phalanx of the finger by only 2-3 mm . Festive manicure, including wedding manicure, allows deviations of no more than average length.
The color scheme has changed somewhat this season. Spring shades have been replaced by bright, rich tones. Delicate pastels will be presented in new tones, namely coffee and pink. Sand and yellow will always be relevant. Light shades of turquoise and blue will be considered fashionable.
Fans of bright colors are recommended to pay attention to raspberry, wine-berry, ripe cherry, Marsala and Bordeaux. Metal textures imitating silver, steel, gold or lead will be at the height of fashion.
Experiments with gray, lilac, green, wine and black in monochrome or multi-color will look equally relevant. Bright red color has not disappeared from fashion this year either.
As you can see, the color palette in fashionable manicure is very wide. Choosing one of the options will not be difficult at all.
The squeak of fashion - “steel” manicure
Original drawings
A special place in the design of manicure is occupied by office or business style, where it is also important to show originality, but at the same time keep the patterns discreet. For women working in senior, middle and junior management positions, the artists developed a certain style, which was supported by the fashion houses of Milan.
The following are considered relevant:
- the usual “moon” manicure, where semi-oval lines run along the edge of the nail or at the cuticle;
- drawing brand logos in restrained colors or to match a business suit;
- barcodes, letter patterns;
- “minimalism” technique;
- mother-of-pearl coating in “nail art” style;
- placing accents in the form of a dot or other figure in the middle of the nail.
Fact! Whatever technique the designs and patterns are made in, shellac looks most advantageous and beautiful in a business style, giving the nails a well-groomed look.
Decor ideas for fashionable manicure 2022
This season's manicure fashion boasts a diverse nail industry, which regularly throws up super-innovative materials and ideas to work with. In addition to the hitherto known stickers, bouillons, rhinestones and adhesive tapes, this season designs using rubs, foil, powder and “yuca flakes” .
Rubbing
Polymer powder has performed well this season. Remains fashionable this year too . Manicure designers believe that in the spring-summer season, rubbing will be considered a favorite. The range of powders is very large, so the decor options are endless. By rubbing you can create any effect - from simple polished to mirror-like, reminiscent of the texture of metal, mother-of-pearl or shimmering pearls.
Bright design created using rubbing
Rubbed with holography creates an amazing play of light. If you add to all this a wide selection of colors, then anyone will understand that this material is unique. It can be applied to all fingers or accent ones. In both versions it will look super fashionable and beautiful . If desired, you can rub it not on the entire nail plate, but on individual sections, strips, or make smooth transitions like amber.
Combined design with rubbing elements
Foil
Also a variety of material to work with, and no less than the previous one. With its help, you can lay out any geometric shapes on the nail plates or completely cover your finger. Any type of transfer foil (creates abstract spots) or sheet foil (laid out at the discretion of the master) is useful in the work. The end result in any case will be stunningly beautiful and stylish. Silver and gold foil will be at the height of fashion . It is easy to combine with other shades of varnish. Foil will add luxury and charm to even the simplest design.
Great option for winter holidays
Kamifubuki, powder and rhinestones
All of the listed materials are designed to add a certain touch of color, unusualness and fabulousness to the manicure design.
- Kamifubuki are small sized confetti. Despite the simplicity of the ideas, they can turn any manicure into a masterpiece. Sold in a wide range of different colors and shades. This season you should pay attention to bright colors. They look good on accent nails in the form of an ornament, on a certain section of the plate, or in a non-ombre version, where the area at the base is densely strewn, and the edge of the nail plate gradually fades away.
Manicure in dark colors
- Rhinestones. They have been considered manicure classics for many years. In 2022 they also found their place. They can be used in the form of individual droplets on the nail, on geometric patterns. Look great in combination with floral motifs, openwork curls and patterns.
Stars are still relevant and fashionable
- Powder. Material tested by experience and time. With its help, you can give accent fingers texture and velvety. Powder is also used to create original patterns or 3D ornaments.
Manicure in soft colors
Yuca flakes and glitters
Both materials confirm that in summer and spring there cannot be too much sparkle and light.
- Glitters. Small multi-colored or plain sparkles. With their help, you can add festiveness to any manicure and give the design volume. Both in spring and summer they can be used in any idea, for example, to emphasize the smile of a classic French jacket or to draw part of a complex ornament with them in a lunar one. This season, it is important to use glitter to decorate the geometry of your nails or use them as a separate element in the design.
Using glitter you can easily add shine to your manicure.
- "Yuki flakes." Refers to interesting trend material. Recently, it has been gaining popularity and interest among both experienced designers and lovers of wearing a fashionable manicure of their own making. In appearance, the material is a bit like rubbing and has a pronounced chameleon effect. In natural light it shimmers in several shades. Yuca flakes look equally good on accent fingers, in certain areas and on the entire nail.
Yuki flakes look stylish and extravagant
Broken glass
Since the effect of broken glass in manicure was loved by many last season, it is natural that it has migrated to the current season. Suitable for absolutely everyone - age and style do not play a role here at all. The material is very easy to work with. To create it, it is enough to buy special foil or cellophane with a holographic texture. Cut it into pieces and place it on your finger as you wish. Cover the top with a layer of clear varnish. The light flux hitting the nail will be refracted, thereby creating the most bizarre variations of the play of light, reminiscent of the reflections of precious stones.
The material can be matched to the base or contrast with it. In both options, the result will be simply magnificent.
Experiment with “broken glass” at your discretion
Beautiful photo ideas for short nails
Models on the catwalks actively demonstrate short, well-groomed nails with rounded edges. They look impressive in combination with expensive jewelry, costume jewelry and in their absence. A special position is occupied by art painting in the Statement style, when with the presence of a drawing its owner strives to loudly declare her preferences and hobbies.
In this case, the nail turns into a field for creativity, and the girl expresses her own opinion regarding the ongoing event, protesting or, on the contrary, drawing attention to it. Any inscriptions dedicated to interesting events will be relevant:
- performance of your favorite band;
- the release of a film starring an idol;
- participation in a rally or protest or support of events taking place in the world or country;
- hieroglyphs dedicated to a specific style;
- New Year or other themes in the inscriptions.
This style is absolutely not suitable for a chic party dress or classic clothes, but goes very harmoniously with grunge, punk or sports style.
Interesting! For short nails, a great option is to easily lengthen them by attaching a clip or earring, rings, spikes and similar decoration options. Such hanging decorations are suitable for any party style and will definitely attract the attention of others.
French and moon manicure
Both design options are popular, and deservedly so, with any woman or girl. They look great on nails in any color. Lunar and French manicures are suitable as hand decorations for any occasion in life . The fashion trend in 2022 is natural colors, as well as: lilac, light blue, pink, beige, mint, caramel. The thickness of the smile line at the tip of the nail for a French manicure and the width of the hole for a moon manicure should correspond to and depend on the length of the nail. The smaller it is, the more elegant they should look. If you make it too wide, the appearance of the manicure will look rough, visually making a short nail even shorter.
Classic always remains in fashion
Floral designs 2022
Various designs on matte gel polish surfaces remain relevant, and they always look more impressive and interesting than on glossy surfaces. Therefore, when thinking about which option to choose for decoration, it is important to create an accent on the basic background. The most attractive are velvet sand and pastel shades from the Pantone palette:
- roses combined with small inclusions of rhinestones;
- wildflowers located in the middle with small closed and semi-closed buds;
- poppies and sunflowers located on the nails completely and on half the nail;
- gorgeous orchids on a dark or light background;
- lilies in various colors with thin lines of petals and leaves drawn;
- flowers painted using watercolor technique on several fingers;
- volumetric modeling in delicate and pastel shades.
Interesting! Floral manicure is special in that it is performed in the style of contrasts, when a dark background stands out on some nails, while the rest are highlighted with light colors of gel polish. An additional trendy decoration has become decorative powder, which is used to decorate flowers. It can shimmer with various highlights or give it a matte finish.
Marble design
It is considered a fashionable feature in the coming year. Good in light shades. A special feature of this design is the presence of an abstract pattern and streaks that imitate veins on a marble stone. In this design, it is allowed to combine several pastel colors, or to have dark thin veins: black, brown or dark gray. A marble manicure with splashes of sparkles or a print, in an abstract form, made of gold foil looks special - this option will look especially expressive.
The marble pattern looks very unusual
Beautiful ideas for long nails
Nowadays, long nails have become a rarity, so their very presence attracts attention much more than a manicure. However, designers have developed interesting ideas for designing the nail plate. The trends brought by spring fashion remain relevant at shows dedicated to the fall-winter seasons 2018-2019.
These are ideas from designers and artists such as:
- “broken glass” interspersed with stones and rhinestones of various sizes and textures;
- extensions in the form of thin and thick patterns imitating knitted items;
- unusual art with the addition of beads reminiscent of sequins, pompoms and other elements of clothing decoration;
- combinations of patterns in dark shades flowing into warmer and lighter tones with watercolor splashes and stains.
The peculiarity of manicure for long nails is to allow yourself to experiment, combining designs with different designs and textures. These are the top options in the fashion world.
Cat's eye and matte
Matte manicure, like broken glass, migrated from last season to this season. In the past, it was at the peak of fashion and many fashionistas do not want to part with it. A matte surface can be created in two ways - with colored matte varnish or by covering the plate with a special fixative , which also gives a matte surface after drying. Fashionable matte shades this season are: dark blue, burgundy, mint, coffee, black. At the height of fashion there will be a design with a combination of matte and glossy coating on one finger.
, the cat's eye effect will be fascinating in its beauty . To create it, you need to have enough time, a varnish of a color that suits your taste, and always contain metal particles and a magnet. All this can be bought in specialized stores or on the Internet. The nail is covered with one layer of varnish.

Magnets are sold in different patterns, so this needs to be taken into account when purchasing. If desired, you can purchase several options.
The cat eye design is simply mesmerizing.
Craquelure
This year craquelure will come back into fashion. This design is relevant for short nails. Appearance - zigzag cracks against a background of a different color of varnish. A fashionista can choose colors at her own discretion, but it’s worth familiarizing yourself with the fashionable shades:

Thermolac
A new product that many girls love. This is a varnish that flows from one tone to another on its own; there is no need to use and combine two different tones. The coating changes color depending on the cooling temperature. The tip of the nail can be very different from the rest because it cools faster. During the day you can observe an amazing change of shades.
