Charming manicure and pedicure design ideas for 2022
Don’t think that manicure and pedicure in the same style are boring monotony. Nail experts recommend approaching the process creatively, using your imagination. Adhering to a single concept, fingernails and toenails are decorated in a wide variety of ways, combining techniques and paints, and different types of decor. So, for example, leaving a monochromatic coating on the legs, the fingers can be diversified with additional tones. Or, using the same shades of gel polishes, apply different designs, creatively implementing the “different handles” technique. And we will give you some ideas for inspiration.
Blue pedicure
One of the classic options for nail art is a blue pedicure:
- There are many options on how to adequately present such a shade. It can be a plain blue shellac.
- If you don’t want to stick to monochrome, you can combine a glossy and matte top, which will be slightly different in tone.
- Mirror and holographic rubbing will look luxurious on blue.
- When creating a pedicure in blue tones, you can use rhinestones; this design looks noble and elegant.
- The thumb can be covered with blue kamifubiks, and the rest can be coated with a plain varnish of the same shade.
Baby blue pedicure
Pale blue nails will look incredibly elegant and sophisticated:
- This color has many associations and can perfectly express a marine floristic theme.
- An amazing option would be to unite the stars and space. To make your pedicure look gentle, you can use a gradient technique, and create a cluster of stars using small crystals and rhinestones.
- The blue tint is an excellent background for applying mirror or holographic rubbing.
- If you want something elegant, then you can turn to blue shades with miniature designs or flowers.
Blue matte pedicure
Such a rich and bright color will provide an opportunity to make your pedicure colorful and deep. Blue matte nails will look especially elegant:
- To slightly transform this color scheme, you can turn to the use of drawings. Images in the form of floral patterns look great on the blue surface. In this case, you can dilute the color with the help of calm colors, such as white, milky, and beige.
- To make the color more vibrant, you can use multi-colored rhinestones.
Blue pedicure with rhinestones
A blue pedicure with a design complemented with rhinestones will absolutely not leave anyone indifferent:
- pebbles can be laid out at the base of the nail, in the form of one or several stripes, in the form of a specific pattern;

- A French jacket created with matte varnish will look beautiful. In this case, you can decorate the main part of the nail with a matte finish, and the smaller part with a glossy finish.
- Matte French can be embellished with decorative elements. Rhinestones can be used to create a variety of patterns. Silver or gold stripes will also look great.
- A small design in the form of hearts or flowers may be appropriate.
Blue pedicure with silver
A blue pedicure design with silver will add romantic notes to your look:
- silver sparkles can be used to create a French or lunar nail art. In the first case, they lay out the “smile” area, and in the second – the hole;
- Another popular technique is stretching with silver sparkles, with the help of which an original variation of ombre is embodied;
- You can lay out strips of silver using foil. Another way of applying it would be chaotic, embodying an extraordinary abstract pattern;

Summer manicure and pedicure: how to combine correctly and what colors to choose
If previously runway style was considered something bohemian and was rarely seen in real life, now designers strive to bring trends to the world. This also applies to modern nail art. The fashion of the nail industry has taken on a more natural shape, and now we can discuss the main trends in nail design for this summer.
Correct form
The first thing we want to draw your attention to is that short nails are trending. The length of the free edge of such nails should not exceed 3-4 mm. You should prefer the oval shape. Super-long or square nails have not been in fashion for a long time. Now you should slightly round the sharp corners, making them softer, almond-shaped. You can also go for slightly edgy marigolds. Just decorate them with sparkles and stones, or make a vertical silver stripe in the middle of the nail - it will be ultra fashionable. In general, now manicure combines fashionable chic and practicality, which is good news.
Bright monotony
Many girls believe that a monotonous manicure is boring and monotonous. But not this summer! Fashionable design this season mainly involves pastel colors. Manicure can be done in shades of white, lavender, beige, chocolate, pale pink, blue, lilac. Nowadays, tones with a metallic tint are gaining popularity again: gold, silver, bronze. If the fashionable nail color of 2014 is unusual for you, use the classics of the genre - rich wine shades will always be popular. Combining several colors in one manicure is also a fashion trend that will delight all lovers of buying polishes. Now, from the huge number of your varnishes, you can choose several at once and include them in one manicure. The colors can be bright, pastel... The main thing is that they combine beautifully with each other. Of course, it is better to combine bright colors with bright ones, and pastel colors with the same pastel, white or nude varnish.
Striped design
If you like the monotonous design, but are a little bored, try to diversify your usual nail art. All kinds of stickers are perfect for these purposes. In addition, nail art with stripes now occupies a leading place. Moreover, it does not matter how they will be located - vertically, horizontally or diagonally. These can be either individual lines or represent entire compositions. There are no restrictions regarding the number of colors. A stylish manicure looks extraordinary and very beautiful.
Matte chic
A matte manicure, which will also be popular in 2014, can add a fresh touch to your look. Not many people are accustomed to a matte finish on their nails, but this stylish manicure looks really impressive. If you want your nails to be matte, you have two options. You can buy a special matte nail polish. Or apply a matte top coat over the varnish. But remember that while a shiny top layer can mask any manicure mistakes, a matte top layer, on the contrary, enhances unevenness and stripes on the nails. Therefore, it requires perfectly polished nails. In addition, matte top dries longer.
Bright French
Of course, French is an example of a design that successfully combines the past and the present. Having appeared back in the 20th century, French manicure tirelessly continues to decorate women's fingers. Fashion trends are changing, but French, as before, is at the peak of popularity. If you want to wear stylish nails with French chic, pay attention to the trending compositions recommended by designers in 2014. Wherever you go, a classic French jacket is a win-win option. It’s easy to paint the ends with white varnish, and the result will be a well-groomed and beautiful manicure. The trend of the season is a multi-colored jacket. Stylists recommend fashionable nail designs in 2014 in pastel colors, creating, for example, compositions in lilac and beige shades.
Moon art
Moon manicure is gaining particular popularity. This is a French manicure (French) only in reverse. In this manicure, a “smile” is drawn at the base of the nail, and not at the tip, as in the case of a French manicure, and is called a “crescent”. The crescent can be drawn in any direction. Very often, moon manicure is combined with a French manicure, then half-moon smiles are drawn in one direction. Fashion trends in manicure dictate a contrasting combination of colors: blue with gold, white with crimson. The brighter and more contrasting the colors, the better.
Bold decor
To have trendy nails, master the technique of working with a stamping kit. With its help, you can easily decorate the ends with lace. Of course, you can paint with a thin brush, but this will require some skill and experience on your part. Lace is designed not only in classic white and black, but also in pastel beige, pink, and blue tones. A stylish manicure will add a sensual touch to your look and will delight you in any setting. It will be good to decorate your nails with all kinds of sparkles, stones, and rhinestones. Just make sure it looks fashionable and not vulgar.
10 tips on how to do a pedicure and combine it correctly with a manicure
1. Toenails should be painted with pastel-colored varnishes. This way you will get a perfectly fashionable nude pedicure. It will allow you not to give up what is most precious to you—the freedom to choose shoes, clothes, and manicure polishes.
2. Classic pedicure looks good on oval-shaped nails, but now “soft square” is also widely popular.
3. Pedicure colors are bright options: burgundy, scarlet, white. They look equally good in combination with fair and tanned skin.
4. Very short nails should be painted dark blue, gray, black - all these shades are perfect for the gothic style that is popular today.
5. There is an opinion that a manicure and pedicure done in the same color is bad manners; there is a lot of controversy about this, although undoubtedly this combination can be called a “classic of the genre.” Undoubtedly, this combination is still relevant and beautiful to this day.
6. If you are eager to experiment, then all shades of varnish are at your disposal, but there are also some nuances here. The color of pedicure polish should be darker than the color of manicure polish.
7. Now about the combination of shades of pedicure polish and shoes. Here you can definitely bring any of your fantasies to life and combine pastel colors, the same colors in shoes and polish, contrasting colors, neutral shades, etc.
8. Manicure and pedicure do not have to be completely identical in color, but they should be similar to each other in contrast. For example, your hands can have clear polish or a French manicure, and your pedicure can be any neutral shade.
9. Unusual nails with a pattern on the feet look great in combination with a manicure made in the same color scheme. You can also get a manicure with a pattern, and repeat the same pattern on your feet on only one or two fingers, while painting the rest of your nails with a single-color base polish.
10. Remember, healthy and well-groomed nails are more important than the color of the polish. If you pay enough attention to your nails and perform the necessary procedures on time, your nails will look great, and your manicure or pedicure will be flawless for much longer.

If you want variety, the whole palette of modern gel polishes comes to the rescue. There are no restrictions: you can combine even those tones that were previously considered incompatible.
How to paint your nails with regular polish
Paint your nails with a base
Brightly colored polishes will stain your nails, so apply a clear base coat before topping them off with Clockwork Orange. Otherwise, the pleasure from a bright manicure will last for three days, and the bright color will be absorbed into the nail for a long time.
Paint your nails, but give them breaks.
It’s better, of course, to go without polish at all - this way it’s easier to notice any changes on your nails and show them to a specialist. But if you like to paint your nails, then give them a rest at least from time to time.
Dermatologists advise giving your nails a vacation for at least a week, preferably a month. The advice applies to both regular and gel polish. In both cases, the nail becomes trapped under a layer of varnish and does not receive the proper amount of moisture. This can thin it and even destroy it. Toenails have better luck - in winter they are most often left alone and hidden under socks, which is only good for them.
Nail design 2022 with “broken glass”
Broken glass foil is another fail-safe way to add a festive shine to your pedicure and manicure. It is especially effective under a “cat eye” coating.
Fact about pedicure
In 1868, Eduard Gerlach from Germany created a special ointment for the feet. It effectively relieved fatigue after walking and working on your feet. This is how the line of pedicure products of the same name arose.

How to cut your nails correctly
Check if the tools are ready
Before you do anything to your nails, make sure your tools are sharp and clean enough.
Firstly, scissors or nippers (in a clever way - knipser!) should belong only to you - in terms of personal hygiene, there is no shame in being greedy. They also need to be disinfected. Let the tools sit in a bowl of alcohol (70-90 degrees), then clean them with a brush, rinse them in hot water and be sure to dry them.
Secondly, they need to be sharpened. If the tools are dull, they will have difficulty cutting your nails and may even damage the nail plate. Carefully cutting off hangnails with dull scissors will also not work - you are more likely to make new ones by approaching a piece of skin near the nail. You can sharpen tools for manicure and pedicure at home using sandpaper. Or entrust this matter to a master.

Don't shave your legs before cutting your toenails
Doctors from the Association of American Dermatologists advise shaving your lower legs after a pedicure. Otherwise, a small focus of infection may appear, which can spread to the nail.
Steam your nails before cutting
It is more convenient and easier to cut your nails after a bath or shower, when they are softened. It’s enough to just hold your feet under warm water for a couple of minutes and start cutting. Or soak your feet and hands in warm water baths for half an hour to relax and feel like you're in a spa. Throw on a robe and apply the mask to your face to enhance the effect.
The Association of American Dermatologists has its own YouTube channel where you can see how to properly care for your skin, hair and nails. How to use wire cutters correctly is in this video.
On your legs, cut straight and do not round the ends.
It is better to give the nails a square shape, and do not cut off the ends with clippers or scissors. If you cut your nails round and cut them deep, they can grow and dig into your skin. Ingrown toenails are unsightly, can cause inflammation, and can even land you in the surgeon's office. An ingrown toenail can even be removed if an infection develops. But if the lesion is small, you can get by by removing a small piece and using anti-inflammatory baths.
Finally, file your nails in one direction with a file.
A nail file is not needed to give your nails a beautiful shape. It removes roughness. This is to prevent you from scratching yourself or others, or from snagging on clothing. It is important to cut in one direction. It's useless to drive back and forth. This may cause the nail to become thinner or split.
