There is a choice! A manicure that retains its beauty for a long time.
A beautiful manicure is important for any woman. If it looks well-groomed for a long time, it will never let you down. Our selection of proven manicure ideas will help you decide on the choice of design; it’s quite possible to spend more than 4 weeks with them. So sit back and enjoy watching.
Classic French
It always looks luxurious and very elegant. Don’t think that a French jacket will quickly get boring - after all, it looks very discreet, and besides, you can choose an interesting option. This manicure is an ideal addition to a business look, vacation or any event. It will serve faithfully for a long time, you will not have to often contact a nail service specialist.
Manicure with coating from the middle of the nail
You don't have to be afraid of bright colors. Usually, flashy colors grow out quite quickly, and you often have to redo the coating, but with this design, feel free to choose the most colorful options.

Gradient
Another very original nail design is gradient or ombre. A manicure made using this technique can attract the attention of others. A smooth transition from pink or nude to another shade will create the impression of well-groomed hands for a long time, appropriate for any event, or on a long vacation.

Lunar nail design
If you are wondering what kind of manicure design to make your nails grow unnoticed, pay attention to the moon manicure. This is the reverse version of the French, in which the emphasis is on the base of the nail plate, and not on its edge.
As you may have guessed, the natural hole of the nail should be left unpainted or covered with colorless varnish, and the rest of the surface of the nail plate can be painted with any color. There are different types of lunar nail designs:
- Classic - the shape of the border between the painted and unpainted zones follows the shape of a natural hole.
- Heart-shaped - to make such a manicure without a stencil, you need to cover the nail with varnish, stepping back a little from the base, and then use a clean toothpick (or a special tool) from the center of the base of the nail to the edge, extending the varnish no more than 2 mm.
- Geometric - similar to the classic one, but instead of a semicircle, the border is shaped like the letter V, as if a colorless arrow points to the edge of the nail.
- Arrow-shaped - the opposite option to the previous one, as if a colored arrow points to the base of the nail.
- Zigzag or wavy - here you cannot do without using a stencil, because you need to make a very small zigzag, and in the case of waves it should not seem that the master’s hand simply trembled when applying the varnish.
- Straight - the demarcation line should be strictly perpendicular to the finger; you can additionally decorate it with thin manicure tape.
- Asymmetrical - here you can give free rein to your imagination and decorate the hole with smooth wavy lines or create clear angular boundaries.
Often, a lunar manicure is complemented with rhinestones and other decor at the edge of the nail, but it is better not to do this, because such a nail design involves focusing specifically on the transparent hole and its borders.
Nude
Today, laconic and discreet nail designs are at the peak of popularity. Unobtrusive geometry, pastel and nude shades rule the roost. Natural and light translucent tones are the main colors in manicure that take you longer than usual.
Nude and free space around the cuticle.
Black
Black tights are the basis of a casual wardrobe, and not only that. And this spring will be no exception. Dense textures, beloved during the winter months, give way to thin and translucent ones. And of course, matte, as at the shows of Saint Laurent, Nina Ricci and Dior.
Such models are suitable for absolutely any outfit - from casual business to evening. And of course, we recommend wearing them with the extreme mini, which is popular today, as is done in Courrèges, Etro, Max Mara and Lanvin.
And in the new season, designers are smashing to smithereens their own assertions that light-colored, especially white, outfits are categorically incompatible with black tights. And once again one cannot but agree with them!
Naturel
Pale pink is the most charming and natural color for a manicure, which will emphasize your fragility and tenderness. Ideal for holidays on the beach and in hot countries, compared to bright and dark shades, which often do not match the chosen outfit. Give preference to pink varnish and laconic designs, thin lines, triangles, squares. This nail design will last much longer, and the overgrown cuticle will not attract the attention of others.
Useful life hacks if your manicure has already grown out
But what if you didn’t have time to do any of the listed options for a “long-lasting” manicure, and your nails have already grown a lot? And at the same time, there is no opportunity to visit a master in quarantine or even remove your nails yourself? Militta has selected several useful life hacks for you on how to “save” an already overgrown manicure.
- If the length is already such that the nails begin to bend in the opposite direction or even break, they definitely need to be filed. Choose a coarse file with high abrasiveness if you have acrylic or gel nails, or are covered with several dense layers of gel polish. For regular manicures and thin coatings, choose a finer abrasive.
- If the coating is still visually “withstanding criticism”, but is already peeling off from the base of the nail at the cuticle, cover it with several layers of transparent varnish. A thick layer of varnish will allow you to seal the peeling areas, make the entire nail glossy and extend the manicure for at least another week.
- If the last time you covered your nails with too bright and saturated color, and it is already very obvious that your nails have grown, you can use glitter. Take gold or silver nail polish or glitter and make a “reverse moon”. This nail art involves covering the nail right at the cuticle under the curve with a sparkling shine. Stylish and will last a long time!
- Another great option is to stick stones, one or even several, on the overgrown nail near the cuticle. Visually, this will create the effect as if it was intended this way, and you just visited the master. Dots, stripes (especially longitudinal ones) and other patterns that will definitely affect the area of the regrown nail also work.

Sequins
It is hardly possible to find a more durable decor for nail design. For example, decorate a nude manicure with sparkles - they will become best friends. The glitter creates an incredible design that looks chic on the nails and adorns its owner.
You should not overload your manicure with additional decor, rhinestones, large patterns or contrasting colors, especially if your goal is to keep your manicure fresh for as long as possible.

Bright
Color is the main character in the style of the coming season. At the shows of David Koma, Celine and Carven, models strutted in colorful tights - from turquoise and acid orange to lime and fiery red. One total look in fuchsia from the Versace show is worth it!
And while Maison Martin Margiela, Nina Ricci and Paco Rabanne offer to wear bright models with black and white lace dresses, aptly highlighting their minimalism, Balenciaga and Kenzo indulge in shocking and play on contrasts. Or maybe they just remember the colorful 90s! A yellow jacket and acid blue tights, a green jacket and red tights definitely raise your mood.
Overall, the main takeaway is that vibrant combinations are definitely our thing.
