Today, not a single girl can imagine her look without a neat and beautiful manicure. Well-groomed nails will say a lot about the character and preferences of a young lady. It is so important to create a fashionable and stylish manicure on your hands that will correspond to the latest trends in nail design. In our review, we will present the most current new products in the world of manicure, dividing them into seasons for your convenience.
Fashionable manicure: Winter 2022
In the cold season, the most popular colors for manicure are calm pastel shades - pink, soft blue, etc. With them you can perform a manicure in techniques such as French, moonlit or ombre. In addition to single-color designs, use several shades, mixing them at your own discretion.
Winter manicure 2022 is not complete without a variety of thematic designs on the theme of New Year, Christmas, etc. Snowflakes, Santa Clauses, and Christmas trees are still relevant and in demand among fashionistas. This design will create a festive mood and will fit perfectly into your New Year's look.
Winter manicure is not only about monochromatic designs and a minimum of decor. Nobody forbids you to use rhinestones, multi-colored broths, and nail stickers in your nail design.
Design ideas for long nails
A distinctive feature of nail art for long nails is that it must be combined with some detail of your image: a handbag, dress, scarf or other accessories. Combining a pattern on your nails with jewelry on your wrist looks stylish.
An ombre manicure looks incredibly beautiful on long nails. The transition from one color to another looks very romantic and gentle. The length of the nail plate allows you to combine not 2 shades, as is customary with nails of classic length, but much more. This will come in handy if you want to create a summer ombre manicure with a rainbow effect on your nails.
Brides often prefer long nails, adding extra length to create complex designs. Wedding nail art is most often done in the French style with large rhinestones and stucco. You can’t do without flowers, geometric prints and openwork patterns that repeat the pattern on the veil.
Some fashionistas combine manicure with lipstick color, since this combination is the most familiar and looks impressive.
Long nails are a real outlet for fashionistas who cannot imagine a fashionable manicure without stylish and bright decorations. There is a place to roam and show your imagination.
To create stunning beauty nail art, use rhinestones, sequins, glitter, pearls, beads, themed prints and patterns.
Drawings with fruits, flowers, berries, and a marine theme are great for the summer season. The floral theme is especially relevant among girls, as it looks perfect on long nails.
A significant disadvantage of long nails is that if you break one, you can lose your entire manicure. Therefore, if you have thin and brittle nails, it is better to increase the length or use a gel polish coating, which lasts for 2-3 weeks and simultaneously strengthens the nail structure.
Taking care of long nails is quite a hassle, so grow them longer only if you have time to constantly update a deteriorated design. The time spent decorating long nails is compensated by the magnificent appearance of your hands, which will not be left without the admiring glances of others.
Winter nude manicure
Nail designs in nude shades are incredibly popular among girls. Calm soft colors are appropriate in any situation - at work, for walks with friends, for everyday life, etc.
Nude shades look best using the French technique. This could be a classic French manicure with a white “smile” or a design with gold glitter and patterns along the edges of the nails.
Shine and Shine
Inner radiance and complex shine are confident trends of the new season, and therefore it is worth paying special attention to the “Cat Eye” style. Fashionable nail art cat's eye repeats the color of the cat's eye stone - bright, dark and with a gap.
Very advantageous cat eye
looks in cool colors - blue, green and purple tones with a bright sparkle will be a good solution for both brunettes and blondes.
The next most popular choice is mirror manicure. This is the name of several types of design; this type of coating also has another name - Hollywood mirror design. This is a coating that imitates a mirror or smoothly polished metal surface. This effect is achieved in different ways.
The most popular type of this coating is made with a reflective film - transfer foil is easily applied to the nails, and every fashionista can flaunt mirrored nails. By the way, colored foil is easily re-glued, and if desired, you can always refresh the coating.
If you don’t want to bother with film, then a mirror coating can be made with a special nail polish (be sure to look for the marking “mirror” or “mirror nail” on the label) or with regular nail polish—you just need to add magic sand and rub it into your nails.
A black design with foil or rub decoration, or a Feng Shui design when one of the nails is decorated with a mirror design looks especially elegant.
Lovers of luxury and art deco will hardly be able to resist getting a manicure with rhinestones or liquid stones. What it is? Rhinestones are familiar to every girl, these are small imitations of precious stones, but the technology called “liquid stones” is quite new for fashionistas, although you can create such a fashionable manicure even at home.
To do this you will need nail art foil and liquid gel. A piece of foil cut in the shape of a precious stone (circle, square, oval or diamond) is applied to the prepared and base coated nail, a gel is applied dropwise on top of it (you can add a little shining shimmer with an illumination effect), and a golden color is applied around the resulting “precious” stone or silver pattern.
However, traditional nail art with rhinestones still remains in trend - decorate your nails with false stones, decorate your hole or smile area with them, or simply decorate each nail with a couple of rhinestones.
New Year's manicure 2022
Festive manicure is always bright and unique. Every girl strives to create a unique nail design that would attract attention and look stylish.
Classic New Year's manicure - designs and decorations with sparkles and rhinestones. Modern nail technologies allow you to create a wide variety of nail designs.
Cat eye manicure 2022
Coatings containing metal particles have recently appeared in beauty stores and immediately attracted the attention of lovers of the three-dimensional effect on nails. It is almost impossible to make such a design using simple varnishes and gel polishes.
The secret to the success of a cat-eye manicure is the use of special magnets (ordinary ones will not work), which attract metal particles of the varnish that has not yet dried and create an amazing deep pattern. It is better to perform this nail art in dark colors, then the effect will look better.
Manicure spring-summer 2022: Stylish ideas
The first warm days push girls to change their tired winter clothes and looks. Marigolds, which are “dressed” in brighter and bolder shades with an abundance of designs and patterns, do not go unnoticed.
In the spring-summer 2022 season, several nail design options are available for fashionistas.
For everyday manicure, choose more restrained shades; for going out, opt for extravagant options.
The trend for the spring-summer season 2022 is unusual textures and complex techniques. Short and medium length nails are relevant. Opt for an oval-shaped nail, which is closer to natural.
Extravagant square and long pointed nails are absolutely unacceptable in 2022. This form is still considered bad taste and the height of vulgarity.
Summer manicure 2022 is full of geometric patterns and abstract shapes. You also cannot do without juicy, delicious fruits on your nails, which are most appropriate in the warm season.
Take a look at how bright and expressive summer nail designs 2018 look.
Almond shaped nails
This slightly forgotten nail shape is becoming popular again. The name comes from the fact that the nails resemble almonds. This “walnut” manicure can only be done on fairly long nails. It will visually make your fingers more graceful and add elegance and sophistication to your look.
But it should be noted that the nail design for this shape should take into account an organic combination of colors. In addition, it should fit harmoniously into your image and not be bright or provocative. Therefore, if you are a lover of everything bright and eye-catching, the almond shape is unlikely to suit you.
Autumn manicure 2022: Fashionable techniques and design
Despite the fact that many people associate autumn with dull, boring shades, autumn 2022 will bring a huge amount of bright colors to nail design.
The trend will include colors such as burgundy, bright red, plum, gold, beige, and milky shades.
The favorite of the season will be a lunar manicure in nude tones. Also take a closer look at such a new technique as two halves, the essence of which is to paint one part of the nail in one color and the other in a contrasting shade.
Mountain peak nail shape
If you want something unusual and original, then nails in the shape of mountain peaks are just for you! This shape is similar to the almond shape, but with a more pointed apex. Only artificial nail extensions are suitable for this shape, since the natural nail plate is not strong enough for long beveled edges.
Pastel manicure
Nude shades include a large number of colors, so every girl can choose her own color depending on her mood, outfit or weather.
Milky, orange, gray, pink shades suit any outfit and occasion. When choosing nude shades, pay special attention to your skin color. Try to choose the most similar and harmonious varnish.
Round nail shape
Round nail shape is a great idea for a manicure for short nails. A discreet, neat manicure can also be diluted with an unusual combination of colors and shades.
But don't overdo it - your nail design should match your look. Provocative color combinations and bulky decorations can look awkward on round nails.
Black nail designs 2022
Dark shades look defiant and extravagant, but despite this, many girls decide to go for a black manicure. This design is not particularly welcomed by bosses, so it is better not to use it for work.
Black manicure can be done in mono technique with rhinestones and sparkles. This design will fit perfectly into an evening look for any celebration. If you are a big fan of dark shades and spend all your time in the office, then you can limit yourself to geometric patterns or designs with this color.
Manicure at home
It’s easy to do an ideal and fashionable manicure with your own hands at home. If you have no experience, you can practice on artificial nails before work. On short nails, the technique will require some skill and time from you.
Necessary accessories for manicure

Before a manicure, you should steam your hands well.
- Having chosen the shape of the nail plate, we use a nail file to shape it into reality.

Fashion critics believe that this season it is worth giving preference to all shades of pastel; they will balance the image, give it unobtrusiveness and naturalness.
