Cutting edge fashion: 24 manicure ideas you'll want to do

Stamping, round confetti: see what other trends in nail design.

What's hot for nails this season? Long and short nails, gel polish, stamping, graceful nail art, classic jacket? Specialists in nail design could not come to a consensus about what will be more fashionable, what will be less fashionable. This season, the fashion for manicure is quite democratic. Nevertheless, let's try to highlight unambiguous trends.

What are the trends in nail design

Minimalism in manicure

In nail design, the trend for minimalist manicure design is gaining momentum. One small stroke on one or two nails catches the eye. A stripe, heart, a cross acts as a stroke, that is, something elegant and geometric.

Clean, beautiful, neat design.

These can be silhouettes of birds, animals, legs and other elements. The accent is made with contrasting varnish. For example, there is a dark accent on a light manicure, or vice versa.

In addition to the fact that the minimalistic design of nails looks relevant in everyday life, it gives mystery. Such a manicure is very suitable for girls who have a strict dress code at work or school.

French manicure

This season, the jacket shimmers with all colors and shapes:

French 2018

  • - a jacket only at the end of the nail and reverse, when the holes are isolated;
  • - contrasting, companion colors, traditional white;
  • - a jacket on a colored basis.
  • - geometrically designed "smile lines".

White French 2018

To make the jacket affordable and comfortable for most girls, many firms have released nail stickers that imitate a jacket.

Gradients

Gradient manicure is especially relevant this season. If earlier women of fashion preferred a three-color gradient, then this season the fashionable gradient looks like this: at the base there is a darker color, towards the end of the nail - a light shade. But, in the color options, the fashion suggests not to limit the imagination.

Gradient trend

The main trend is a light pink tone at the base of the nail. And white on the free edge of the nail. But for the young and daring, various aggressive shades and combinations are acceptable. For example, red and black, blue and green, orange and purple.

The main trend is a light pink gradient.

Glitter, sequins and confetti

All kinds of sparkles this season go not only to evening and festive manicure, but also to everyday ideas.

Shiny nail designs

The special chic of this season is the large fractions of sequins (and kamifubuki). But if in previous seasons, large pieces of an indefinite shape (a square, an asterisk, a straw) were in fashion, then in this one - only perfectly round and identical ones.

Confetti can be matte, shiny, single color or assorted. On the nail, they are arranged linearly, unevenly, to taste.

Bright abstraction this season goes to nails. The variety of colorful ideas is endless. Stamping, photo design, freehand drawings. Lovers of abstract art show the world what a manicure painted in this theme looks like.

Blur effect nails

Another innovation is flowers, petals, succulent leaves and other simple drawings on a white, blurred or transparent background. Previously, women of fashion pasted flowers on nails, now art nail-art on the nail plate is again in fashion.

Artificial nails

This trend includes nails that are extended in salons. For example, acrylic. Some time ago, nail extensions went out of fashion, because the technique very much spoiled the nail plate. But unexpectedly, these nails are back in fashion.

Long false nails

Stickers and thermal films

The nail art industry offers more and more interesting techniques.Stickers on nails are now available in different densities, colors, themes, with different methods of applying the image. Water-based, adhesive, 3D, metallized and thermal films are still in trend. So do not limit yourself in your choice. Requires the soul of a crazy red manicure - do it.
