The spring-summer season is always a “transition to the bright side”: in clothes, makeup, and manicure. Gloomy dark shades give way to cheerful ones. And white is becoming one of the most popular - judging by the nail art from the catwalks, white manicure designs will be “worn” by many in 2021-2022. In early spring it is not yet time to make white the basis of the image, but the details may well be in this range. We will tell you and show in the photo fashion trends and new items of white manicure in 2022, and which versions of it look most advantageous on short and long nails.

Rules for white manicure
When creating a white manicure in 2021-2022, it is worth remembering fashion trends, new items, and the features of milky varnish. Its application requires special preparation and compliance with certain rules.
1
Choose varnishes from trusted manufacturers. Nail design and manicure in white is “complicated”: if the varnish is of low quality, there is a high probability that it will “strip” on the nails and leave translucent spots. To fill the gaps, it will have to be applied in at least three layers, and it will take a long time to dry them so that the white shellac does not smear.
2
Tidy up the shape of your nails, buff and polish the surface - any unevenness in the topography will prevent the white nail polish from applying perfectly.
3
Apply the polish as carefully as possible, trying not to touch the cuticle. A manicure with white gel polish requires patience and precision, so dry each layer thoroughly to prevent the coating from smearing with any careless movement.
You can complement white manicure with any shades; however, you need to understand that bright colors will create contrast, and pastel ones will hardly stand out against a white background. As for textures, you can experiment freely: glossy white goes well with a matte finish, and with shimmer, and glitter, and with a metallic effect.

Yellow
Healthy nails have a uniform pinkish tint.
Yellow spots on the nail plate may be a sign of diseases of the thyroid gland, liver, diabetes, and psoriasis. It could also be a fungus.
Yellowing can be caused by a manicure made with low-quality materials (varnish, gel polish, acrylic, etc.). The consequences of bad varnish or gel only go away when the area of the nail plate grows back.
Yellowing is also observed in smokers from exposure to tobacco tar.
White ombre manicure or gradient on nails

White nail design is good not only for a graphic manicure. It is often used in a different design - with a soft transition of shades from one to another.
- In ombre nails, the white polish seems to dissolve into another – the boundary between them becomes blurred.
- But this is not the only way to do a gradient manicure. Shades can change from nail to nail - from white, for example, on the little finger to brighter or darker on the big finger. White nails in this case also turn out to be unusual.
You will need two shades of polish (white and the one you would like to mix it with), as well as a small piece of sponge.
1
Cover your nails with a base coat and dry it well.
2
Apply white polish to one half of the nail and colored polish to the other. While they are still wet, soften the border between them using a sponge. Do this with each nail in turn.
3
Seal the result by using a topcoat on white nails. Manicure is ready.
Prevention
To prevent the formation of white stripes on nails, you must adhere to the following recommendations:
- monitor the quality of food: reduce sugar, fast carbohydrates, introduce a sufficient amount of fiber, protein, vegetable oils
- Take regular care of your hands and nails
- improve digestion: in case of low acidity, discuss with your doctor the possibility of using betaine and pepsin for normal absorption of vitamins and minerals from food, use enzymes, choleretic drugs
- eliminate metabolic disorders, normalize body weight
- observe safety precautions when performing potentially dangerous, traumatic work
- give up bad habits: smoking, drinking alcohol, overeating
- maintain a drinking regime: the daily norm is calculated using the formula 30 ml multiplied by body weight
- use protective gloves when working with household or industrial chemical cleaning agents
- give preference to moderate physical activity: running, yoga, gymnastics, swimming, daily walking in the fresh air (7000-10000 steps), breathing exercises
- eliminating the source of stress, maintaining a work and rest schedule
- preventive intake of vitamin complexes and dietary supplements selected by a doctor individually
- undergo an annual scheduled basic examination of general health: blood, urine, stool tests, ultrasound diagnostics, for patients with chronic diseases - be under constant medical supervision
All preventive recommendations boil down to adhering to the basic principles of a healthy lifestyle, avoiding negative emotions and significant experiences, moving more, and developing. This has a beneficial effect on physical and psychological well-being, allows you to avoid many somatic diseases, and also significantly improve your appearance, including the condition of your skin, hair and nails. Timely, high-quality therapy of systemic diseases under the supervision of an experienced specialist is also indicated.
Moon manicure with white polish
Fashion trends are such that it is impossible to imagine a classic French manicure without a nail design with white polish on the tips. In lunar, it is not at all necessary to use white varnish; this is just one of many possible design options. New items and examples of ideas in the photo.

However, there are still reasons to choose it: white manicure is especially good in designs with graphics. So it will definitely come in handy for a lunar manicure. Apply it at your discretion: you can paint over the holes with white or, conversely, the background - in this case, leave the holes transparent, or fill them with another varnish. A white moon manicure without other color splashes and ideas will be minimalistic - and therefore does not contradict either the official style or the casual style.
Knitted white manicure
Despite the fact that such a manicure looks neat and laconic on the nails, it cannot be called universal - a knitted manicure, despite trends and new items, seems appropriate only in the cold season. Nevertheless, it is in white that it is perceived most advantageously - winter-like, but at the same time warmingly warm. Just look at this white manicure in the photo.

It is better to do a knitted white manicure in a salon - the fact is that you will have to work with special acrylic powder, which will be difficult for an amateur to handle.
The master, making a fashionable white manicure, applies it to the nails and secures it in the form of a three-dimensional pattern, repeating the weaving on warm winter sweaters. When hardened, the pattern becomes embossed - this gives the manicure an unusual look. And the effect is enhanced by the matte “finish” of acrylic powder.
Diagnostics
To confirm the diagnosis, the doctor conducts a face-to-face examination and oral questioning of the patient, collects anamnesis, including family history. Questions the patient about what medications he took previously, what infectious diseases he suffered, and whether he suffers from any chronic pathologies. Next, they are asked about sleep and nutritional patterns, the presence of bad habits, psycho-emotional state, and possible sources of stress.
Additional studies are prescribed:
- microscopic examination of the nail plates to exclude the fungal nature of the origin of the disorder
- complete blood count
- general urine analysis
- coprogram
- biochemical blood tests: ferritin, zinc, serum iron, copper, vitamin D, lipid profile, TSH, T3, T4, glucose, insulin
- organic acid test
- genetic tests, if necessary
- ultrasonography
If tumor processes or other serious diseases are suspected, additional instrumental research methods are prescribed: magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography.
New white manicures with designs
White is one of the colors that is always on trend and irreplaceable in a manicure with a design. It can serve as a background, as the basis of a picture, or as a laconic addition to it. A fashionable white manicure with a pattern can be anything you like.
- Most often, manicures and white nails with a pattern are chosen according to one’s mood or time of year. In winter, ideas could include snowflakes and icy patterns of frost, in spring - flowers for March 8 and clouds in the blue sky, in summer - tropical motifs, in autumn - leaves.

- The basic rule that applies to nail designs 2021-2022 with white and sparkles or rhinestones is to use them in moderation, without excess. These are the trends. Of course, if you really want original ideas, you can decorate a fashionable white nail design with a scattering of stones, but they still look better in two or three on accent nails. Clearly in the photo.

- A fashionable manicure or white nail design with glitter is a different story: according to the 2021-2022 trend, you can cover your nails completely with it, but, again, not all of them - two or three on each hand. In combination with white varnish, you can use not only silver sparkles, but also colored ones - such a manicure will become a bright accent in the image. Examples of ideas in the photo.

- There are other ways to add shine to white nail designs - make a trendy white manicure with foil, metal strips or, for example, rubbing powder.
What are the deviations?
Excessive fragility
yalmashop.ru
If the nail breaks, barely looking beyond the edge of the finger, the body is probably experiencing a deficiency of vitamins A, E and C, as well as iron and zinc. Sometimes fragility can be a consequence of thyroid disease and a harbinger of diabetes.
White spots
polzapost.ru
People consider them to be a good omen, but in medicine this pathology is called leukonychia. Microscopic air bubbles form between the layers of the nail plate, which look like white dots and stripes on the surface.
Leukonychia can be spotty (a couple of spots on several nails) and total (when the entire plate is affected). The reasons are varied: from injuries and unbalanced nutrition to exhaustion of the nervous system and heart failure.
Point depressions
dingyue.nosdn.127.net
The shape and color of the nails look as usual. But if you look closely, the nail plate is riddled with tiny indentations (as if poked with a needle). Doctors even have such a term - thimble-shaped wear.
This is almost always a sign of psoriasis. Sometimes eczema or arthritis can manifest themselves this way.

If you discover this or any other nail pathology, you should not self-medicate. The first thing you need to do is make an appointment with a therapist and/or dermatologist and get tested. Only a professional doctor and clinical research can give an accurate answer as to what is the cause of the pathology. Maybe this is some stage of psoriasis, or maybe just a malfunction in the thyroid gland or gastrointestinal tract.
Large or small lunulae
ofigenno.com
Lunules or craters are a light crescent moon at the base of the nail. They should occupy about a third of it and be clearly visible.
Athletes and people involved in heavy physical labor have holes that are too large. Sometimes they can indicate malfunctions of the heart and blood vessels, low blood pressure.
Small lunulae that barely peek out from under the cuticle can be a sign of a lack of vitamin B12 and iron, as well as problems with blood circulation.
Transverse grooves
dermline.ru
These are the so-called Bo lines. The pathology of the nail plate in the form of transverse lines up to one millimeter deep was first identified by the French military surgeon Joseph Honore Simon Beau.
Beau's lines are formed due to damage to the matrix of the nail plate. When it lacks nutrition, the chemical composition of the nail changes and its plate becomes deformed. Most often this happens due to strict diets bordering on starvation.
Also, these injuries can be mechanical (when the nail is hit in the area of the hole) or toxic in nature (due to potent drugs or chemotherapy). Sometimes Bo lines can appear against the background of cardiovascular diseases, fungal and other infections.
Longitudinal grooves
womens-blog.ru
If for older people such a change in the relief of nails can be considered the norm, then for people under 50 years of age, protruding vertical stripes most likely indicate a lack of B vitamins and microelements (zinc, iron, magnesium).
This could also be the result of a bad manicure or pedicure: the cuticle was pushed back too much and the root of the nail was damaged. But in these cases, only a few vertical stripes stand out.
If more than 25% of the nails are affected, the health of the internal organs should be checked. First of all, the cardiovascular and digestive systems.
If the pathology is not infectious in nature, you know its cause and have already started treatment, then you can give the damaged nails an aesthetic appearance. Any good salon offers nail spa treatments. For example, for nutrition and hydration, you can do Japanese manicure (P-Shine) or paraffin therapy. For smoothness - grinding and polishing the nail plate.

Spoon nails
el-corazon-ek.ru
This is koilonychia, that is, a deformation of the nail plate in which its center bends and the edges are turned up. This does not cause discomfort, the color and smoothness are preserved, but it looks ugly.
The easiest way to identify koilonychia is to drop water on the nail. Did the drop roll freely? Everything is fine. Is the drop stuck in the groove? There is reason to think.
Most often, concave nails are a consequence of a lack of iron in the body and endocrine disorders. Acquired causes of koilonychia also include trauma, contact with chemicals and sudden temperature changes.
In addition, spoon-shaped nails can occur due to gene mutations and be inherited.
Drumsticks
dermline.ru
Another name is Hippocrates’ fingers. This is a symptom in which the nail plates thicken and become like watch glasses. Moreover, if you look at the finger from the side, the angle between the rear nail fold and the nail plate exceeds 180°.
adst.mp.pl
Drumsticks are always a sign of a serious illness. They can manifest themselves in diseases of the lungs (from tuberculosis to cancer), heart and blood vessels (heart defects, endocarditis and others), gastrointestinal tract (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and others).
Nail peeling
zdnogti.ru
In medicine, this is called onycholysis - a disruption of the connection between the nail and the nail bed, when a void forms between them, and the nail plate changes color.
In 60% of cases the cause is injury. When struck, the vessels in the dermis are compressed, the nutrition of the nail is disrupted, and its chemical composition and elasticity change. Another 30% is due to fungal diseases and allergic reactions. The remaining 10% of onycholysis develops due to systemic somatic diseases.
When the nail plate begins to rise up, it no longer covers the nail bed that nourishes it. This may lead to infection. If you hit yourself or had some contact with chemicals and suddenly notice that your nail begins to peel off, you need to use antifungal and regenerating agents as quickly as possible.

Half and half
media.caak.mn
This is the name of the syndrome in which half of the nail plate is white, and the half, closer to the tip, is brownish.
The most likely cause is kidney failure, which causes the number of blood vessels under the nails to increase and become visible through the nail plate.
Also, “half” nails occur in HIV-positive people and those who have undergone chemotherapy.
White, yellow and bluish nails
A change in the color of the nail plate is a signal that it’s time to take care of your health.
If your nails suddenly turn white, you should check your digestive and cardiovascular systems and pay special attention to the liver. A yellow tint is also caused by liver diseases, as well as pathologies of the endocrine and lymphatic systems. Blueness indicates a lack of oxygen, low hemoglobin levels or poor circulation.
Single dark line
kratko-news.com
Most often, a black stripe appears on the nail plate due to injury or malfunction of the digestive system. And for some peoples this is a feature of natural skin pigmentation.
But if you eat normally, haven’t hit yourself anywhere, and suddenly blackening appears on your nail, it’s better to consult a doctor. This may be a symptom of melanoma, a malignant skin cancer.
