Hits of the season
Matte varnish has become a real hit this season, and experts in the nail industry predict the leadership of such a coating next year. In this case, the color can be absolutely any.

Fashion for a shade of varnish largely depends on the season. For example, in the spring, the fairer sex gives preference to delicate shades of pink, blue, beige and caramel. On summer days, bright accents are more popular - at this time, red, yellow, orange and blue tones are appropriate. With the onset of autumn coolness, warm colors such as terracotta, brown and brick are more relevant. But in cold winters, it is better to stay on shades of wine, blue and, of course, black.

As for the design, the mod does not set any restrictions here. At the peak of popularity, both a single-color coating and a combined one. Matte manicure this year combines well with many popular techniques - ombre, French, the effect of broken glass and cat's eye, as well as marble painting.

The following nail design options are considered the main hits.
- With rhinestones or small beads. In this case, the matte finish is complemented with small rhinestones, which create a truly luxurious effect. Usually they frame the nail hole or lay out a longitudinal strip in the center of the plate. If larger beads are used for decoration, then you can attach them to the tip of the nail.

- With droplets. This is a fairly light, but at the same time very effective coating option. It combines a matte finish with a glossy finish. For a long time, stones or rhinestones were used to simulate drops. It looked pretty, but completely unrealistic, which is why the drops made by the glossy composition became the hit of the last season. They harmoniously complement any color scheme.

- With a glossy design. The theme of the combination of matte and glossy surfaces is continued by another popular decor, in which nails are covered with matte varnish, and glossy decor in darker tones is applied on top.
Ornate patterns, monograms and abstract patterns are usually applied with black, as well as brown, burgundy and blue varnishes.

Stylish techniques
Matte manicure is performed in two basic techniques.
The first involves the use of a matte varnish - it does not give an unnecessary shine and may well be applied at home on its own. However, the tint palette of such varnishes, alas, is not at all distinguished by a special variety, therefore the choice of decors is significantly limited.
Such coatings allow you to create the most original patterns and combine them with the application of glossy varnish.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2018/09/matovyj-manikyur-osobennosti-oformleniya-i-modnye-tehniki-36.jpg)

Matte varnish is applied to the previously prepared nails: first, they are cleaned and filed to the desired shape, then the regrown cuticles should be removed and the nails should be degreased. The fat layer must be removed with special compounds, which can be purchased in specialized stores.
After the nails are prepared, a base is applied, which is then dried in a special UV lamp.

The second method allows you to make the design of the nail matte, even if you applied a simple glossy varnish. Some for this purpose cut down the varnish with a buff.This option has the right to life, but it is very difficult and can only be done with high quality by professionals, since you can simply ruin the manicure.
It is best to use a matte top, which removes the sticky layer in the lamp after drying.

Colors and texture
The theme of a tint palette for a matte effect manicure is inextricably linked with the trends of the current season.
It should be noted that the nail fashion in this matter gives a lot of space for girls with any taste preferences - the most various colors and shades of coatings are in fashion, but it is still better to give preference to more restrained tones.

Nail shapes
Owners of long oval nails usually do not have any problems with manicure - they suit any shade and any decor, but women with short nails often do not dare to make a matte finish on them, and in vain.

When looking at short matte nails, the only association that arises is beauty and exceptional health, which is why it is more and more often you can see short nails covered with a matte tone in the shows of modern stylists.

- a matte tone with geometric lines looks very good on short nails - for example, triangles located in one corner have become the trend of the year;
- but it is better to leave rhinestones, beads and other jewelry for owners of long nails - these elements visually make the design heavier;
- The gradient version also looks good, but only if it is made by a real professional.

The stylists have identified several shades that, according to forecasts, have every chance of becoming hits next year. They can be selected based on the shape of the nails.
First of all, these are nude tones. They look perfect on short nails, as well as on long ones that sharpen closer to the tips. As a daytime option, only one coating is enough, and for going out in the evening, you can complement the manicure with geometric ornaments or white stripes.

Wine, burgundy or marsala color at the peak of popularity in recent years. These tones harmoniously fit into any image and always look extremely respectable. They are suitable for almond-shaped nails, but can be just as stylish on short, neat ones.

Dark blue, as well as lilac - an option for the most daring girls who deny the usual classics. This expensive color is most suitable for owners of a trapezoidal or square nail plate.

When matte black gel polish first appeared, no one would have thought that this informal shade would become a sign of a real classic. Nowadays, it is associated with aristocracy and restrained elegance, which is why it looks best on elongated oval nails.
But it is better to leave a multi-colored manicure for girls with perfect nails and very well-groomed skin of the hands.

The easiest way to get a manicure is to simply cover your nails with your favorite matte polish, and then dry them.
You can make the pattern more varied using thin adhesive-backed strips that are attached to a nail painted with glossy varnish. After that, cover the entire plate directly on top of the strips with a matting compound, and after drying, immediately remove the strips.

There are many options, but in conclusion I would like to talk about how to create a matte finish for nails in case you do not have a suitable varnish at hand. Fortunately, there are quite a few easy ways to convert a glossy finish to a matte finish.
A good option is to use baking soda. You will need a base coat, regular baking soda, a fine sieve, a makeup brush, and a small container. It is better to prepare all this in advance, because after you apply varnish on your nails, you will need to act very quickly until the coating dries - otherwise it will be very problematic to work with it.
Soda must be sifted through a fine strainer. If this is not done, small lumps can significantly impair the appearance of the final coat. Then you should paint on the nails on one hand, for a while leave the other hand without varnish - this is necessary so that it does not freeze before time.

Then the most important thing begins - a make-up brush should be dipped in sifted soda and very carefully sweep it over the wet nail cover. At this point, the baking soda sticks to the varnish. The brush should be dipped in baking soda every time before running it over the nail, otherwise the bristles will begin to stick to it and the appearance of the nail will become rough and untidy.
Soda should be applied evenly. If there are areas on the nails that have not been treated with powder, then a gloss will appear on the matte coating in this place.
The baking soda should be left on the nails for a few minutes - this time is quite enough for it to fix on the varnish. When it's dry, brush off any remaining baking soda from your nails. If all the manipulations are carried out correctly, then the coating should become matte. If you notice that the soda particles are attached to the varnish, then you need to dip the brush in plain water and carefully wrap your nails with it. Similarly, you need to process the second hand.
Until the varnish is completely dry, it may feel like the finish is still glossy, but don't worry - once the finish is dry, you can see the final result.

If you wish, you can make a whole bubble of matte varnish with your own hands. This is more convenient because you do not have to prepare a new coating every time - once made, the varnish can be stored for a long time and used several more times.
To draw up the mixture you will need:
- the main varnish in a glossy shade;
- cornstarch or matte eyeshadow;
- fine fraction sieve (if starch is used);
- a toothpick (if using shadows);
- several sheets of paper in the form of a square with a side of 5 cm;
- thinner varnish;
- a pair of metal balls, for example, from a bearing (however, this is optional);
- small bowl.

First, you need to prepare the varnish and powder that you plan to use. It is important that the bottle of varnish is not completely filled, otherwise, when adding matting components, the liquid will overflow.
Regardless of which powder you prefer, keep in mind that it must be fine, since even the smallest lumps will make the coating itself lumpy. If you intend to work with starch, then be sure to sift it through a fine sieve, and if you like shadows, then first they should be picked out of the box with a toothpick and crushed into dust.
For half a bottle of varnish, you will need 5-6 pinches of starch, but it is better to take more shadows, preferably the whole box at once.

Roll a bag out of a sheet of paper so as to leave a shallow hole.
After that, you need to open the bottle and insert a funnel into it, but so that it does not directly touch the varnish - in this case, the powder will begin to stick to the funnel instead of falling into the bottle.
It is better to sprinkle the powder with a teaspoon. If you perform these actions manually, then it is possible that he will begin to stick to your fingers. Do not empty out all the powder you have at a time. It should not be too thick, it is better to add some more component later if necessary.
If possible, add a couple of small balls from the bearing to the bottle - in this case, it will be much easier for you to mix the contents of the bottle. You need 3 mm balls. It is optimal that they are made of stainless steel.
The vial with all the contents should be screwed up very tightly and shaken vigorously for several minutes until the contents become homogeneous. If you put the balls, then shaking can be stopped at the moment when you stop hearing the impact of metal on the bottle.

Steam can also be used to make the varnish matte. To do this, you should clean and degrease the nails, cover with glossy varnish and hold for 3-5 minutes over boiling water, while constantly moving your fingers so that the steam penetrates into all areas of the nail plates.
After the allotted time, move your hands away and wait for the coating to cool down - it does not immediately become matte.
