Good afternoon to all nail art fans! At times it seems that everything in nail design has already been invented, and nothing will surprise you. You have tried different techniques, color combinations, an endless variety of designs. Who would have thought that one of them would suddenly become not just an interesting idea for a limited circle of artists, but a fashion trend that captured cities and continents. Manicure with fire has become one of the most interesting stylish trends of recent times.
However, the speed of its spread is understandable when you find out what kind of image we are talking about - this is a flame that has preserved the natural properties and beauty in nail design.
General recommendations for manicure design in a fiery style
A manicure with fire involves creating a design with a shape and pattern that visually resembles a flame.
Depending on the chosen technique, the following can be used to perform it:
- glitter;
- pigments;
- foil;
- gel polish
The patterns of this design go perfectly with any nail shape. The vertical arrangement of the pattern visually lengthens the nail.
Fire design can be combined with techniques such as:
- gradient;
- aquarium;
- stamping.
A manicure with fire on your nails can be done using stamping.
The choice of palette and combined shades depends on the desired result. For a smooth transition of colors, it is worth choosing shades that are close in tone. When combining contrasting gel polishes, the design looks more expressive and catchy.
In the classic version of a fiery manicure, several shades of gel polish are used:
- black;
- red;
- burgundy;
- orange;
- yellow.
To complete the fiery design, you will need at least three shades of densely pigmented gel polish. The cost of such a set can exceed 1000 rubles. A more economical option is to use pigments. The cost of a small container with one shade varies between 30-50 rubles. This material is a finely ground powder that resembles powder. It has a wide palette of shades and is applied on a white base. Stickiness is required for the material to adhere to the surface.
Fashion trends in 2022
The classic version of the fire manicure does not lose its relevance today. This is due to the popularity of the black shade of varnish. The contrast created with varnishes of brighter colors attracts the eye. Due to the speed of execution, preference is given to marble technology this year. Recently, designs with alternative shades have become increasingly popular. Manicurists, experimenting with different colors of gel polish, breathe new life into it.
The tongues of flame, made using milky shades, are particularly charming. Such glossy designs can be stylishly combined with crystal chips or marmalade. They complement pastel shades perfectly. To successfully complete a fire design, you must consider the availability of materials, skills, available budget, and appropriate technique. For beginners, nail technicians recommend practicing the technique on an artificial tip. This will speed up the technique when performing manicure on natural nails.
Techniques and methods
Drawing a pattern, even for experienced craftsmen, takes time. Therefore, when choosing materials, it is necessary to take into account their drying speed, composition and design technique. Varnishes designed to dry outdoors are solvent-based. When applied to the nail and in contact with air, the composition immediately begins to dry. The varnish becomes covered with a film and thickens.
This process does not make it possible to distribute the material over the surface in the intended composition. Moreover, when applying the next layer, the solvent acts on the already dried varnish, worsening the adhesion to the natural nail plate.
Gel polish and other artificial materials for strengthening and modeling nails have a different chemical formula. It allows you to apply and distribute the material without fear of drying out. The material is fixed in an ultraviolet or LED lamp by polymerization with the release of heat.
There are three main methods of performing fire manicure:
- wet technique;
- intermediate drying method;
- use of ready-made designs (sliders, foil, stickers, film).
Each method has its own difficulties and nuances in implementation and requires more detailed consideration.
The choice of the appropriate method is individual and depends on many factors:
- materials handling skills;
- artistic abilities;
- mastery of tools;
- knowledge of the features of using decorative elements.
How to do it?
A manicure with a hazy effect can be performed in various ways, each of which differs in the choice of material and the technique of applying patterns.
For beginning craftswomen, a design option that requires regular nail polish, a saucer of water and a small object with a sharp end is suitable.
This can be either a needle or a toothpick. With this water manicure you can create an even and beautiful smoke effect on your nails. Colored drops of varnish are placed on the plate, then the finger is dipped into water and original stains are formed there.
In addition, you can draw wavy lines from varnish using special brushes. At the same time, a thin brush allows you to apply lines of any width, and a flat one helps to fix their sizes, so it is usually used for shading.
For girls who prefer to do their own manicure at home, the idea of creating a smoky design using beautiful stickers is also suitable.
Typically, this method is chosen by those craftswomen who have little experience in “nail art” or do not have free time to create a manicure. Original sliders and stickers allow you to achieve a clear smoke effect. To do this, it is enough to decide on the color background and size of the image.
A regular base is applied to the nails, after which the sticker is applied and smoothed over the surface, and it is secured with a special finishing agent.
Classic technique
Don't be afraid to experiment - you will definitely succeed! Despite the external complexity of the design, this manicure is quite simple to do, so be patient and tune in to the result. Let's look at the first implementation option.
- Perform a standard hygienic manicure. Remember that well-prepared nails are already half the success.
- We remove the old coating, carefully work on the cuticle area, removing it in any way convenient for you - by cutting or using a remover and an orange stick.
- We give the nails the desired shape and lightly sand their surface with a manicure buff.
- Evaluate the results: if you think that your nails look perfect, then proceed to apply a decorative coating.
- Cover your nails with a base coat for a neater manicure that lasts longer. Dry it in a lamp.
- A smoky manicure looks incredibly beautiful on a black background, so that’s what we’ll use. Paint your nails with black gel polish, dry in a lamp and remove the sticky layer. This can be done using a special product or regular alcohol applied to a napkin.
- Now take white gel polish. Its brand does not matter - you can use the decorative coating of your favorite company.
- Dip a thin brush into it and draw a random line diagonally on the nail. It should be a little thicker on top and thinner on the bottom. Don't draw too carefully - it simply indicates the direction of the future "smoke".
- Dip the brush into gel polish remover and begin to blur the line with light movements. Do not erase, but rather wash away. You will see how the design takes on the shape of smoke flowing over the nail.
- Dry the gel polish in a lamp.
- If desired, the manicure can be left in this form, simply covering it with a top coat. But we will make the design more interesting.
- For this we will need stained glass gels in blue and green colors. Using a brush, cover the lower part of the “smoke” with a very thin layer of green stained glass gel, and make the upper part blue.
- That's all - all that remains is to cover it with topcoat and put it in a UV lamp for 30 seconds.
Nail art with acrylic powder
We looked at the first option, but the manicure can be made even more expressive if you use acrylic gel powder.
- Repeat all the procedures described above until the white line is blurred, but this time you do not need to remove the sticky layer.
- We'll experiment with pink and orange acrylic powder. Using a brush, rub orange powder into the lower part of the “smoke” stream, and pink powder into the upper part.
- If there is any pigment left on the black background, carefully remove it with liquid to remove the sticky layer.
- We fix the result with a top layer and dry it in a lamp.
- With acrylic powder, the “smoke” takes on even greater volume and expressiveness. Be sure to try this design - it will not disappoint you.
- Design with colored gel polishes
- A beautiful design can be achieved using additional colors of gel polishes. We will not describe the initial procedures, since they are completely identical in both the first and second cases. Let's start making a new design right away.
- Use yellow gel polish to carefully paint the upper part of the “smoke.” Decorate the bottom in blue. It is better if gel polishes are liquid. If they are too thick, it is better to add a little topcoat to get a more sheer coverage.
- Dry in a lamp.
- Apply top coat, dry again in the lamp and remove the sticky layer.
As you can see, this design can be done in many different ways, none of which can be considered complicated. Smoke effect nail art is very easy to learn and looks amazing.
Wet design
A manicure with fire using this technique is considered an express design. It does not require drawing clear lines, which means it is accessible to beginners. The main condition for its implementation is the preliminary application of gel polish of a suitable shade to the surface of the nail. Its moist consistency allows the main pattern to be distributed without difficulty.
If there is no gel polish of the required shade, it can be replaced with a transparent one.
There are two main ways to perform designs using wet gel polish:
- gradient technique;
- marble technique
Stages of performing a fire manicure using the gradient technique:
- Coating the plate with a base layer of gel polish.
- Applying selected shades to the surface of the varnish by analogy with a gradient (transverse lines).
- Distribute the material using a thin brush, using long wave-like movements in the direction.
- Polymerization of the result in a lamp.
- Applying finishing coat and drying.
After each movement, the brush must be cleaned of any remaining material. Otherwise, the colors will mix, creating uneven dirt. It is more practical to divide the drawing into two stages. The first pass draws the flames. Direction of the brush from the free edge to the cuticle. The second is to finish the gaps by moving from the middle of the nail to the free edge.
A special feature of the marble technique is the mixing of several shades on the palette. After which this composition is applied to the nail using a gradient brush.
A manicure with a depicted fire using the marble technique is performed according to the following scheme:
- Applying the base layer of gel polish.
- Creating a pattern on the palette.
- Transfer of the composition to the nail, distribution.
- Finishing with a thin brush (if necessary).
- Covering with top.
Decor ideas
The popularity of using decor in nail art is due to many factors:
- availability;
- price range;
- Possibility of use with various materials;
- a wide range of;
- ease of use.
There are four types of decorative elements that can replace drawing flames by hand:
- sliders;
- stickers;
- foil;
- film.
The listed elements have similar characteristics. They allow you to expand the variety of available techniques, but not all of them are easy to use.
Features of the use of this decor are described in the table:
Name | Description | Features of application |
Stickers | Drawings and patterns of various sizes are made on transparent film with an adhesive base. | The sticker does not require preliminary preparation. Using tweezers, the design is separated from the paper base and placed on the nail. Using pressing movements of a finger or a silicone brush, press firmly onto the surface of the plate. |
Sliders | Images printed on the thinnest transparent film. | Before use, the section of paper base with the slider is cut out. It is placed on a napkin moistened with water. After 3-5 seconds the image moves away from the base. Using tweezers, the slider is transferred to the nail covered with topcoat. A wet slider is very fragile and does not tolerate friction and pressure. Use a silicone hoof to remove air for better adhesion to the surface. |
Foil | Foil images printed on film. | The method of application requires practice. A special glue for foil is applied to the nail. Its layer should be thin for uniform drying. After drying the composition in the open air, a piece of foil is applied to the nail. Use a silicone brush to smooth it out until the film base moves away from the design. |
Film | The drawing is printed on thermal film. | Before application, the thermal film must be heated with a special lamp or hairdryer. When exposed to heat, it becomes more flexible and pliable. Maintaining symmetry, the design is placed on the nail. Holding the film near the cuticle, stretch its free edge and press it to the surface with stroking movements. Using a stick with a silicone tip, firmly press the material in the cuticle area and lateral sinuses. The excess film remaining on the free edge is carefully cut off with a soft file. |
To protect the described decor from damage and abrasion, it must be covered with a topcoat and dried in a lamp.
Manicure with fire can be combined with other decor:
- glitter;
- mica;
- Blix;
- shavings.
Flat and iridescent decor are most often used when performing fire design in aquarium technology. It is applied to a substrate in shades visually similar to fire and sealed in a transparent material (acrylic, gel, polygel) in compliance with the architecture.
A fire pattern is applied to the surface in any convenient way, leaving areas with decor open. You can draw with a brush, using stamping, or by placing a sticker/slider. Designs with alternating patterns and three-dimensional decor look original. On each finger of one hand you can make different designs in the same theme.
Most often, craftsmen use the following types of decor:
- marmalade;
- sand;
- crystal chips;
- pixie;
- rhinestones;
- stones.
Using a combination of designs and decor with different characteristics, each nail becomes unique. However, there is an important point. Don't overload your hand with using everything at once. Leave one or two nails plain and free of design. This will relieve the manicure and add lightness.
Intermediate drying method
Carrying out a design using this technique will require the following skills from the performer:
- mastery of a thin brush;
- knowledge of the characteristics of colored coatings (thickness, drying, interaction with each other);
- knowledge of the execution sequence;
- artistic abilities.
The main difficulty is the miniature nature of the patterns. A steady hand and clear, practiced movements are required. Manicure with fire on nails can be done using the intermediate drying method.
Sequence of performing the intermediate drying technique:
- Applying the main shade.
- Drawing flames with a thin brush (each shade is applied separately).
- Top coating.
Each previous layer after application goes through an intermediate drying stage. This is due to the fact that gel polish or gel paint gradually spreads over the surface of the nail. The edges of the drawing become blurry and lose their clarity, which is unacceptable for this technique. As a rule, the lightest shade of fire (yellow) is applied first, and the darkest (burgundy, brown, black) finishes. Using pigments, the fire pattern is created with thick white gel polish. Against its background, the pigment will look brighter.
The design in this technique is carried out according to the following scheme:
- Applying the base shade of gel polish.
- Drawing fire (with white varnish), intermediate drying.
- Application of pigments of various shades.
- Full drying cycle.
- Applying a topcoat with a sticky layer.
To fix the pigment, stickiness is necessary, so after drying the white varnish is not degreased. The powder is applied with sweeping movements using any convenient brush.

Therefore, when you highlight one, your soul will feel calm and good, but when you highlight another, on the contrary, melancholy and sadness may overtake you.

Matte manicure
A manicure with fire goes harmoniously with matte finishes. The matte effect is achieved through the use of a special topcoat. It can be used as a basis for a future design or for contrast. In the first case, a topcoat is applied to the colored coating to create a matte finish. After which a design is made on its surface. Using a thin brush, apply a glossy topcoat to the flame to add shine. As a result, fire on a matte surface looks even brighter and more saturated.
This design can only be done using the intermediate drying technique. This is due to the need to use both matte and glossy topcoats.
Nail technicians have found the opportunity to combine wet techniques with a matte topcoat. For this, a popular technique is used in which the fire design is present on one or two fingers of the hand, creating an accent. The rest are painted with contrasting gel polish or a similar shade, followed by matting.
Peculiarities
Manicure with streaks is a modern technique of applying a pattern, thanks to which you can create compositions in the form of a volumetric haze. In addition, this design allows you to give your nails an unusual and bizarre shape, and the interesting combination of a translucent background and puffs of smoke favorably emphasizes the beauty of the hands.
Patterns can be either multi-colored or plain.
This “nail art” on a black base looks special; it is most often chosen for an evening look, since it is ideally combined with long outfits. Suits and other formal attire complement this manicure well.
You can decorate nails of any length and shape with “smoky” decor. To create an unusual pattern, you need to use gel polish of various colors.
Blurred lines in manicure are done using alcohol or regular nail polish remover.
Bonfire on nails
In order for the beauty of an unusual picture to be noticeable and bright, a fairly large canvas for drawing is required, such as on long nails shaped like an almond or a cat’s claw.
But this does not mean that owners of short nails are left out of the fashion trend. An unusual design will suit them, if you tame the fire and make it laconic. Masters use small, often monochromatic tongues along the edge or hole of the nail. So the French and moon manicure on short nails got another original design.
White French 2022
A simple but very stylish French manicure in a classic design with white edging requires a special approach. For a white jacket, the correct ratio of the width of the smile and the length of the nail is important: on short nails, a white thin (no more than 2 mm) smile is appropriate, on long nails it can be wider, but not significantly. The smile can come in a variety of unusual shapes, such as geometric, V-shaped, or slanted.
Fashionable fire manicure: beautiful design ideas
A classic fire manicure consists of flames, sparks, and the drawing of a fire on the nails. The ideal background is black, burgundy or dark red varnish, while flames and sparks are painted with lighter varnishes.
A fashionable fiery manicure is a smooth transition of colors from dark to light or vice versa plus a cage. A manicure with fire, gradient and checkered is an incredibly attractive and stylish manicure option.
Creative fire manicure is the use of a completely atypical spectrum of colors for this element, for example, green or purple, to draw a flame.
Fire with stripe and checkered pattern
What can unite the chaotic nature of the flame and the strict geometry of stripes and cells? Manicure! Samples of nail art with designs of such different characters are a special trend of the season, suitable for energetic and extraordinary individuals.
The coexistence of fire next to stripes (longitudinal and transverse) and cells can be relatively modest. Each design is given one nail plate, and the rest are painted in a single color: one or several colors in a color scheme that unites the entire manicure.
In a fiery manicure covering all fingers, stripes and checks are often awarded the status of single elements. Moreover, the most popular color palette for them is black and white. Does rhythmically alternating black and white cells remind you of anything? Right! It looks like a field for famous board games. So fire and chess in manicure are not mutually exclusive phenomena.
However, the cage can also be colored, echoing the palette with shades of flame. In any version, fire design is a bold experiment that has gained its right to exist with popularity. If you are not afraid to experiment, then choose a manicure with fire.

Interesting ideas
The hazy effect on nails can be achieved with either colored, white or translucent varnish. It all depends on the girl’s personal preferences and the style of her image.
At the same time, you should not be afraid to experiment and make any creative fantasy come true.
White clouds of smoke
To get an unusual transparent haze, you will need thick black and white gel polishes, top and base. First, you need to cover your nails with a special base in the form of gel polish, then carefully apply a two-layer black base, first drying each layer. Then you should clean the sticky layer with a cloth and start drawing white stripes.
They are placed throughout the entire volume of the nail plate, and they will serve as a direction for the “smoke”. In this case, the strips are made thin on one side and thicker on the other.
Finally, the brush is dipped in alcohol liquid and begins to be drawn along the lines - as a result, the white varnish will “float”. Next, you should wait until the decorative layer is completely dry, and at the end fix it with a finishing coat.
Volumetric drawing
Many fashionistas prefer to have a “smoky” manicure not only with color, but also with volume. If you use regular gel polish for work, you will not be able to achieve scale, since this material has a low density. Therefore, for creativity you need to stock up on a special base, dense-textured varnishes (colored and black), and a finishing topcoat.
In this case, it is necessary to draw stains not only with the help of a thin and flat brush - you will also need a fan brush for the work.
The nails are first covered with a base coat, and then with two layers of black varnish. Using white gel polish, small wavy stripes are created, then the brush is moistened in liquid and the outlines of the lines continue to be formed.
Additionally, the drawing must be sprinkled with acrylic powder: it is evenly distributed over the entire surface using a fan brush. The finished design is fixed with a fixative.
Colored smoke
For such a design, both acrylic multi-colored powder and stained glass paints or gels, which are used for nail extensions, are suitable. The procedure for creating “nail art” is quick and simple. Pre-prepared nails are covered with a base coat, then two layers of black varnish are applied and dried in a UV lamp.
Using such a brush, lines are drawn and the nails are dried again in the lamp. Then they mix the top coat or gel with the stained glass paint and begin to carefully apply the resulting haze.
For this design, it is important to use several colors at the same time, making smooth transitions. As a result, the marigolds will acquire a special mystery and gloss. It is not recommended to complement the design with other decorative elements, otherwise you will end up with an awkward composition, as a result of which the relevance of the haze effect will be lost.
Manicure with fire and cage
An extremely current trend is a manicure with fire and a cage:
- two separate types of design should alternate on different nail plates;
- In order not to overload your nail art, you can use the following solution. It is recommended to apply a fiery design on one of the nails, and a cellular design on the other. It would be advisable to paint the remaining nail plates with a single-color coating;
- A manicure with fire and chess is popular, when the cells are drawn using a black and white color scheme;
- the cage can be multi-colored; a very organic design solution would be the option when it echoes the tonality of the color of the flame.
Black manicure with fire
A black manicure with a fire design looks impressive, deep and mysterious:
- Any colors look incredible against a black background. These can be bright, saturated colors, as close as possible to the fiery color scheme. To do this, take a yellow, orange, red tint in a single copy or create a multi-colored mix of these tones.
- A black manicure with fire can be either warm or cold. In the latter case, colors such as violet, blue, silver, and green are selected to depict the flame.
Yellow manicure with fire
A stylish yellow manicure with fire is one of the most natural types of fashionable nail art:
- the flame can be exclusively yellow or shaded with some other colors, such as orange or red;
- yellow fire can be depicted against a bright background, which is recommended to be selected in a similar color scheme so that the colors harmoniously overlap with each other;
- A yellow manicure with fire can be applied over a clear coat; this is a win-win solution to make nail art more consistent and versatile.
White manicure with fire
Lovers of laconicism and elegance will be able to create a beautiful manicure with fire, made using white:
- this design variation is typical for the original French or lunar design;
- the snow-white shade can be taken as the basis on which the flame is drawn. It is recommended to use not too bright colors, for example, fire can be depicted in soft pink or gold;
- The flame can also be made white on a transparent background; it can be effectively shaded with the help of silver or golden sparkles.
Red manicure with fire
For young ladies who prefer to look irresistible and invariably attract everyone's attention, a manicure with a flame of fire, made in a traditional red color scheme, is perfect:
- red flames can be depicted on different backgrounds: on a transparent coating, on white or black, on bright orange or yellow;
- the flame can be depicted either natural or abstract, in the latter case it is characterized by rounded smooth lines;
- red can also serve as a background, and the flame can be depicted using any shade that will be in harmony with the main red.
Manicure with fire and rubbing
You can use the rub to make a bright manicure with fire even more expressive:
- The rub can be applied to all fingers on which the fiery design is located. In this case, it will acquire an indescribable pearlescent shine.
- An effective and original solution would be to use a shiny metallic rub, which is applied only to certain fingers. At the same time, the rest have a fiery manicure, which is made in cold colors, for example, purple, blue, silver. In this case, a metallic effect rub will organically echo this design.
Tools and material
Before you begin the creative process, you need to master certain nail art skills and prepare everything you need for the job. Today, there are many materials for designing a manicure with a smoke effect, and masters most often choose only a few of them.
- Gel paint. It is considered the ideal raw material for the execution of such a design. The main advantage of this paint is that, when combined with an alcohol-based liquid, it can form a translucent haze.
- Gel paste. This material is also great for creating unusual designs. To give an expressive outline to the composition, the viscous paste must be mixed with a small amount of nail polish remover.
- Stained glass gels. Thanks to their homogeneous structure and wide selection of tones, such gels can be used to create an interesting color play. The pattern is applied in an even layer to the nail plate and has smooth transitions of swirls from one shade to another.
At the same time, it is not necessary to purchase stained glass gels - you can make them yourself by mixing acrylic paint with a top coat or a special modeling gel.
In addition to the above, to design a manicure you will need a flat and thin brush, acrylic powder of any shades, a multi-colored base and ready-made stickers with an original print.
Manicure with colorful fire
Nail art can be made extremely bright and catchy if you use a rich and varied palette of colors:
- For example, a manicure with pink fire can be combined with any other colors that are used to draw the background or to shade fiery highlights;
- You can take either a similar color scheme or a contrasting one. The last option will help you create a catchy nail art that is richly saturated with a variety of colors and attracts everyone’s attention.
- Fashionistas who prefer this design solution should be prepared for the fact that they will have to carefully think through their wardrobe. In this case, nail art will act as the main accent of the image, and the clothes should be plain and made in neutral colors. This is necessary so that the image does not come out overloaded and clumsy.

When attracting money, focus on your left hand - it receives energy. You need to highlight several fingers with the desired color (preferably 2).
You should not apply it to your right hand - there is a risk of getting the opposite effect.
Fire on short nails
Even short nails will not be an obstacle to the implementation of the planned design if a girl wants to please herself with a fiery manicure. To make this design look as advantageous as possible, it is recommended to follow a few simple rules:
- laconicism is the key to a spectacular embodiment of fire on short nails;
- If you don’t want to make the heat too high, decorate the tip with it, creating an extraordinary resemblance to a French manicure;
- do not overuse flashy decor. This can visually overwhelm your nail design.
Nail design with fire: photo ideas
Alternating fire and cage on the nail plates is a hit for the coming season. You can decorate all your nails, or decorate two fingers on each hand, and leave the other three plain.
You can also try yellow fire on a bright or transparent background. This is both a fashionable and natural type of nail design.
If you prefer elegance, combine fire with white. And don't be afraid to combine fire with stripes or rubs - it's one of the fast-growing trends, just like multi-colored fire.
