Stylish manicure is an integral part of the image of every girl. In order for the nails to be designed in accordance with fashion trends, you need to be interested in what is currently at the peak of popularity in nail art.

Spring manicure is, first of all, floral motifs, floral patterns. As a rule, painting is done on several fingers, and the rest are covered with a single color of delicate color.

Summer manicure can be very bright and juicy, or, conversely, sensual, gentle, feminine. You don't have to design your nails to match the color of your wardrobe. New stylistic trends are accepting a combination of different colors in the design of nails and clothing.

Suitable for summer and manicure with geometric patterns, as well as "caviar" design using microbeads.

For the autumn season, a matte manicure, a gradient, a velvet-effect coating, a “newspaper print” decor are suitable. Autumn is not a reason to remove all bright varnishes until next season. Burgundy, gray, plum and brown colors are relevant this time of year.

The best shades for winter manicure are blue, deep blue, burgundy, scarlet, emerald. Pastel colors are also relevant. As a decor, patterns and thematic drawings on a winter theme, as well as rhinestones and sequins are used.

In winter, French manicure, gradient, monochrome, stamping, flock, "cat's eye", matte, nude design is relevant. If we talk in more detail about a monochromatic manicure, then it is one of the trends of the season. The most popular shades: gold, silver, dark red, black, burgundy, cream. You can change the tone of the varnish based on your style of clothing or mood. In order to slightly diversify a monochromatic manicure, you can add rhinestones, sequins, pebbles.

French manicure is one of the most demanded in the world. It attracts with its natural design in muted colors. Such a manicure is versatile, thanks to which not only adult women, but also young people can wear it. If necessary, French manicure can be supplemented with decor (in limited quantities). Most often, a delicate pattern is applied to the nail plate and 1-2 nails are decorated with pebbles.

For fans of experimentation, we can recommend the technique of performing a gradient, the essence of which is smooth transitions from one color to another. The result will exceed all expectations and will look spectacular on nails of different lengths.

It is possible to perform a gradient in the following way: apply strips of different varnish on the paper so that they overlap slightly. This procedure is done as quickly as possible so that the coating does not have time to dry. Press the fine-pored sponge to the resulting color scheme, and then to the nail. The result is an original design.

Lunar manicure does not lose its relevance for many seasons. There are special reasons in preference for this type of manicure: the regrowth of the nail is almost imperceptible. This design is very popular on vacation when you want your nails to be in great shape for a long time without regularly replacing the coating.

This design technique is popular among those who do not want to spend a lot of money on going to a beauty salon. Every girl can independently arrange marigolds with a water manicure. The advantages of this design include:

• unique idea and unrepeatability of patterns;
• variety of design solutions;
• fast drying.

One of the most frequently used decorative elements is scotch tape. Thanks to its use, you can create an incredible number of a wide variety of designs. Its location on the nail plate can be chaotic or well thought out in advance.

Often, such a decorative tape becomes a necessary element in the creation of a moon manicure or service jacket. Its use significantly speeds up the work on the design of nails and allows you to make a line at the edge of the nail or in the zone of its growth as even as possible.

Scotch tape is also useful for creating striped nail designs. The lines are straight and the same. The ribbon will allow you to create not only perfect parallel stripes, but also interesting geometric patterns. Several shades of the coating will add even more variety.

Slider design has been at the peak of popularity for several seasons. Its advantage lies in the fact that nail design can be done in a short period of time and at home.

First, a hygienic manicure is required on the nails, and then the coating is applied. As soon as the surface of the varnish dries, the slider must be moistened in water until the pattern peels off. The decorative element is transferred to the nail and fixed with a transparent finishing varnish.

Geometric patterns and ethnic designs are always in trend. Manicure with them can be considered universal. The geometric component will visually "stretch" short nails and narrow wide ones. Correctly selected varnish colors will help to enhance this effect.

The use of volumetric elements in the design of nails gives the whole manicure a zest. Nail design in the form of a sweater, voluminous roses, lace, monograms, under the skin of reptiles, with broths and microbeads, you can do it yourself. Additionally, you can decorate the nails with rhinestones, tips, velvet sand, ribbons, glitter, mesh, mother-of-pearl stones and other elements.

To create volumetric elements, you will need acrylic and polymer clay. But first, the nails should be prepared, a base coat should be applied, then a decorative one, and only then stucco elements, foil applications, broths and flowers should be placed on the nails.

To simplify the work, you can use a special plasticine gel. At the first acquaintance with voluminous nail art, it is worth giving preference to simple patterns, and it is recommended to perform it on only a few nails, and not on each one.

Festive manicure can be decorated with beads, foil, and everyday manicure can be done in light colors (pale pink, sand, coffee, snow-white).

A matte version of a voluminous manicure can be obtained using a buff and a matte fixer.

A varnish can be called good if it not only has a beautiful color, holds firmly on the nails, but also has a safe chemical composition.
