Manicure is a nail care procedure. It includes treatment of the nail plate and cuticles, hand massage, coating or nail extensions. Women hundreds of years ago paid attention to the condition of their hands. For many centuries, people have been taking special care of their fingernails - sawing, trimming, trying to give them shape. For modern girls, getting a manicure is the most banal and familiar thing. Now there is a wide selection of manicure products and devices. It is absolutely not difficult to do it at home, not to mention in beauty salons.
Trend No. 1 – Abstract web
Topping the list of new trends is perhaps the most fashionable manicure design of 2022 – “spider web”.
Gossamer or spider gel is a viscous gel paint that has made a splash in the nail art market. With its help, you can create many interesting nail designs: from minimalist abstract lines to complex geometric patterns.
Technique for designing with spider web gel paint
There are two options for working with cobwebs. The first involves using a skin defender and “throwing” strips on the nail. You need to dip the dots in spider gel, lift the dots up, as if pulling out the paint, and carry the dots over the nail. At this time, the gel paint itself will lie in an even line on the surface of the nail. The second option for using cobwebs in nail design is placing dots on the nail and then pulling out the gel from them. This way you can draw snowflakes, geometry and other patterns. Also, when creating a fashionable 2022 manicure with cobwebs, masters use stencils to create original designs.
Hot Trends
- Motifs that imitate animal skins and “spotting” are again at the peak of fashion in the nail industry. Don't overdo it - highlight a few nails on both hands and leave the others plain.
- Abstract art will allow every master to feel like a real artist. Randomly blurred colors, as if accidentally applied strokes, connecting with chaotic lines - don’t be afraid to experiment to get a real masterpiece.
- Images with silhouettes of faces look interesting and original. At the same time, you don’t need to be Picasso at all; it’s enough to caricature the contours.
Trend No. 2 – Manicure with “motivator” stickers
The second place in popularity is occupied by fashionable manicure with stickers. But not simple ones, but text ones. As a rule, these are various motivational inscriptions and interesting thoughts. Stickers are combined with a textured manicure, geometric designs, or simply attached to a nail covered with a camouflage base.
Technique for performing fashionable manicure design with inscriptions
Let's take an example of a stylish manicure with foil and stickers. We cover the nail with gel polish of any shade or with a camouflage base. Dry the coating. We apply foil to the sticky layer and make an impression. Place the sticker on a damp cloth or dip it in water for a second, remove it from the backing and attach it to the center of the nail. We cover the design with a glossy or matte topcoat.
Monochrome design
Covering your nails with one color of polish won't be boring at all if you choose trendy shades. Fashionable colors and shades will create fashionable nail designs of any length in 2022 - 2022:
- deep blue;
- matte orange;
- olive green;
- marsala color;
- violet.
Classic red, black and white are always in trend as the background color or lines of a manicure design. When choosing a monochrome coating, choose the right color for the length. Bright varnishes on long, sharp-shaped nails will create a vulgar image. Short nails in blue, pale pink, and peach colors will look casual and cute.
Trend No. 3 – Manicure with foil
This design is also called foil craquelure. Impressions are made on the surface of the nail, which vaguely resemble the effect of cracks on nails. Although now a manicure with foil can be in the form of one large print or a variety of colored spots. There are plenty of options. Foil is combined with matte coatings, with patterns, stickers and rhinestones. Below are photos of the design with foil in different interpretations.
The secret of performing a manicure with foil
Almost all craftsmen know how to work with foil. However, there are small nuances that will help beginners avoid mistakes.
- The first rule when creating a manicure with foil. It is necessary to degrease the back surface of the foil.
- Second rule . Use gel polishes with maximum stickiness. Make impressions on the gel polish, and not on the top coat, for example. Gel polishes have a stickier layer than top coats.
- Third rule . Before giving a fashionable manicure to a client, experiment with tips to check how the foil will fit on the material you are working with.
Mosaic drawings
Well-known “mosaic” designs since 2018 (especially in combination with calm matte colors) will be an excellent option to add bright notes to everyday regularity, while at the same time not deviating from the general trend for restraint. A good addition would also be a combination of texture and gloss, foil and various sparkles.
A new branch in 2019 will be three-dimensional designs, also called “marble”, which look very stylish.
Trend No. 4 – Translucent designs
This manicure is especially popular in the spring-summer season. In 2019, designs with translucent patterns will only become more popular. Using watercolor technique, flowers, leaves, twigs and other floral designs are painted on nails. This type of manicure may seem complicated to beginners, but if you watch step-by-step photo and video tutorials and practice a little, you can get a good result. You need to start simple. Below is a photo tutorial on how to make a similar design. If you don't succeed at all, there is one simple solution. You can buy stickers with similar designs. They are sold in a well-known store that supplies goods from China.
Techniques for performing fashionable manicures with transparent designs
The secret to performing a transparent design lies in step-by-step drawing, mixing shades on a palette and shading the gel polish directly on the nail. First you need to apply the background for the drawing. To do this, the colored gel polish on the palette is diluted with a top coat. Then a darker shade is mixed and a shadow is drawn. And finally, with a very thin brush, the contours and veins of the flowers are drawn.
Fashion drawings
An intricate design will always draw attention to your hands. The trend in stylish nail design will be designs of any complexity with an emphasis on the season. In winter - snowflakes, snowmen, Santa Clauses, icicles. Spring fashionable manicure – primroses, sprigs of greenery. Summer trend - juicy fruits, berries, seashells. Autumn will allow you to place yellow leaves, mushrooms, raindrops, or any picture on your fingers that will help brighten up the autumn blues.

Today, manicurists offer many methods and materials for nail extensions. This type of manicure can be done in two ways: using gel or acrylic. Acrylic is considered a more practical material, but nails made with gel have a glossy shine and a more transparent appearance. If we talk about extension methods, then there is also a choice between shape and tips. The master always takes into account your finger shape when choosing a more suitable option.
Trend No. 6 – Geometry
Fashionable geometry is so loved by many girls that it will remain in trend for another season. In 2022, such types of geometry as minimalism, stripes, designs filled with sparkles, and matte textures will be relevant. You can also create geometric designs quickly and easily using the spider web already mentioned above. Yes! This is a real salvation for girls who have not yet mastered the technique of drawing smooth, thin lines on their nails.
Technique for making geometric designs using cobwebs
How to make a geometric pattern using spider gel? Very simple. We take a brush or dots, dip it in the gel, put a dot on the nail and stretch out the “rays” from this drop. Next, we repeat the procedure until the desired ornament is obtained. The design can be filled with colored gel paint or glitter. At the same time, you will disguise the “droplets”.
Length and shape of nails

A beautiful three-dimensional design can be made using a thick gel paste. This new product turned out to be very convenient and is great for creating bas-relief designs on nails.

Kamifibuki
This type of holiday confetti, just for nails, has rapidly gained popularity since its introduction. In 2019, Kamifibuks will remain as popular as in previous years, mainly due to the atmosphere they create of a constant holiday on the nails.
Trend #8 – Layered and Textured Designs
The skill of nail art masters is growing every year. Now some girls can paint real masterpieces on their nails. The trend is a beautiful manicure with multi-layered complex compositions. Even ordinary branches have been transformed over the past year. They are painted with several colors, one on top of the other, covered with sand, and broths and rhinestones are added. In general, the more complex your design, the cooler it will be. Below is a small collection of photos of beautiful manicure 2019 with complex multi-layered designs. There is no point in writing about the execution technique; they are all very different.
Fashionable manicure with several layers of coating
Ready-made nail looks give you reason to think about combining complex techniques.
Symbiosis has been trending for a long time, and now, when the thematic market has been replenished with the same “cobwebs” and “stones,” to ignore a multi-layer manicure means to deny oneself the temptation.
On the plates of fashionistas you can already find:
- Stone manicure with “spider web”;
- Matte moon manicure with “spider web”;
- Abstraction with rhinestones;
- Sports geometry, etc.
It is better that the corresponding art is located on one ring finger or on adjacent two - ring plus middle, ring plus little finger.
But if the manicure is maintained without inserts and contrasting fragments, then it can be maintained on all nail plates.
Trend No. 9 – Peas
It is impossible not to mention one of the main trends in the world of catwalk fashion. Peas are coming back to us! This print was forgotten for several seasons, but has returned again and become the main trump card of the spring-summer 2022 fashion season. This year’s fashion trends suggest that polka dots will be relevant as a print for a summer dress and even for a business suit. To make the look complete, let’s draw a “pea” print on the nails as well.
Execution technique
You can make a simple dots pattern to match the dress. Alternatively, you can make a color drawing in the form of dots. Also, kamifubuki will most likely return to fashion, but not in a glossy version with sparkles and rhinestones, but in a calm color scheme, covered with a matte top.
New 2022
Airbrush
Airbrush is a beautiful technique that came to us relatively recently. It can be performed on a variety of finishes, including cat eye, French and lunar manicure, as well as a regular painting on one or two nails.
Thanks to a special airbrush tool, the designs that are applied to the nail plate cannot be repeated manually. The airbrush is capable of not only applying designs, but also using an amazing technique of mixing different colors.
Trend #10 – Colorful Sliders
Well, how can you not make a simple, beautiful and fashionable manicure with a bright pattern when there is such a variety of sliders on store shelves. Sliders are not a sin to use not only for beginners, but also for experienced professionals. After all, using stickers does not mean that you cannot draw. Simply, sliders are a great time-saving option. In addition, sliders fit perfectly on short nails, but painting on very short nails is difficult.
Manicure technique with bright stickers
Stickers look best on a light-colored backing or on a transparent camouflage base. The sticker is attached directly to the sticky layer of gel polish. Sometimes craftsmen cover the gel polish with a small layer of top coat so that the slider glides better over the surface and can be quickly stretched and straightened. After applying the slider, it is important to seal the ends well, namely, run a brush dipped in top coat along the edge of the nail.
Fashionable manicure 2022 - an impetus for new trends
Nail art changes every year, but not every potential owner is familiar with the reasons for the thematic change:
- Firstly, the cosmetics market is periodically updated with new materials (for example, spider-gel and 3D-inspired stickers appeared last year);
- Secondly, against the background of existing compositions and techniques, stylists use symbioses, guided by the history of applicable trends, in order to prevent them from happening in the future.
This year was no exception. Despite the fact that summer has not even come yet, everyone who is partial to nail art has already changed more than a dozen manicures.
Trend #11 – Baby Boomer
This top design has become an excellent alternative to the classic French jacket. Baby Boomer is a nude manicure based on acrylic or a camouflage transparent base, and a white stretch is made on the tip of the nail. Since there is no clear boundary, this fashionable manicure looks very gentle and pretty. This design is universal. Both to the feast and to the world. If desired, it can be supplemented with some simple, unobtrusive pattern. Winter delighted us with openwork snowflakes, the coming spring and summer will certainly be generous with floral designs, and autumn 2022 will not be complete without themed designs with bright leaves.
Baby Boomer Instructions
The classic baby boomer is made using acrylic. First, a drop of material in a natural beige-pink shade is placed at the base of the nail and stretched with a flat brush dipped in degreaser towards the tip. Then a drop of white acrylic is taken and the same procedure is carried out only in the opposite direction (the white color is stretched from the tip to the base of the nail). Then the nail needs to be filed, dust removed, degreased and covered with topcoat.
Very gentle manicure in pastel colors
One of the most fashionable color solutions for decorating nails is the pastel palette. Stylists say that today short nails of natural length are in fashion. They can be decorated and embellished in a variety of ways.
A very gentle manicure, stylish and versatile, will turn out if you follow some rules.
Rules for creating trendy images and models of delicate, airy design:
- Avoid bright, contrasting colors. Different tones that complement each other should be from the same group. For example, mint color goes well with turquoise, a delicate herbal color.
- Eliminate a large number of elements for decoration. It should look natural, unobtrusive and not pretentious. It is best to place decorative elements on one or two nails. They should be discreet, light, and not drawing attention to themselves.
- A gentle light manicure is best done in a monochromatic color scheme with a minimum of decorative elements.
Trend No. 12 – “Stretching” sparkles
Another great alternative to a French jacket in 2022 will be a design with “shading” or “stretching” of sparkles. As a rule, it is done on the tips of the nails. When combined with camouflage or acrylic, the design is reminiscent of millennium French. For stretching, use glitter-filled gel polishes, gel paints with large glitter, or loose glitter mixed with top coat. A manicure with large glitter has become a favorite among New Year's nail designs.
Execution technique
Stretching with glitter is not difficult even for a beginner. First you need to make a base, namely apply a colored base, acrylic or gel polish in a light pastel shade. Then you need to lay out a strip of glitter on the edge of the nail, then take a brush generously dipped in the top and blend the glitter towards the cuticle. Glitter should not occupy more than half of the nail. You can leave the manicure as is and cover it with a top coat. And you can implement almost any drawing ideas. This design goes well with snowflakes, lace, abstraction, and monograms.
Fashionable manicure with semi-transparent designs
Muted scenes often take place in photos of the most fashionable manicures of the current spring-summer.
This technique is characteristic of watercolor and welcomes mainly the natural wonders of nature:
- Flowers;
- Leaves;
- Insects;
- Fruits.
Not every nail stylist has dealt with a small brush and watercolor paints. Therefore, the first results will be lumpy.
The secret of success is explained by the gradual honing of skills and the step-by-step drawing of every detail. In order for multi-colored gel polish to be light and quickly adhere to the background, it must be diluted with a top coat.
