Current colors
White
In the summer of 2022, white color will be especially relevant in any interpretation. You can mix it with any other color, decorate it with decor, or simply apply it in a single color. White color visually expands the nail plate, which is very good for small nails.
But white can highlight unevenness or imperfections, which will be immediately noticeable in your manicure.
Violet
The magical purple color has always attracted women. Purple manicure is valued by women of all ages for its simplicity, brevity, beautiful and attractive color. You can combine different shades of varnish with purple, which allows you to create luxurious manicure options.
Purple color - self-sufficient. Do not overload it with unnecessary decor or an abundance of designs. It is best to use a clean, classic tone that will suit different nail shapes and lengths.
Red-blue
An unexpected new combination of red and blue colors was practically not in demand before. But the summer of 2022 recommends paying attention to this combination, which will look very good if you choose the right design or pattern for your future manicure.
It could be a geometric print, lava, foil, stripes, French, or just a plain coat of blue polish on the right hand and red on the left.
Mustard
The languid mustard color will adorn the nails of true fashionistas in the summer of 2022. Mustard is a mixture of yellow and orange that ends up creating a muted color reminiscent of mustard. It is quite difficult to combine other colors with this color. In order not to spoil your manicure, it is best to use classic ones, such as black, white, silver and gold.
Current forms of long nails 2022
Before we begin to describe the current trends of the season, it is worth paying attention to the shape of long nails. It is the shape that ultimately determines what design will appear on them. For example, a too extravagant shape needs a restrained manicure in soothing colors; on almond-shaped nails you can experiment with decor and shades.
There are several popular forms of long nails that girls most often choose when extending and decorating their own nails:
- clear square
- soft square
- oval shape
- almond shape
- acute form
Among the original forms we can note:
- stylet
- peak
- beveled shape
They are used less often, as they look unusual and non-standard for everyday looks, but there are fashionistas who are not afraid to decorate their hands with such an original shape of nails.
Main trends
Friendly fish
Fish manicure is a great idea for a summer holiday at sea. It is an alternative to the standard marine design, which is not inferior to it in brightness and originality. Fish can be depicted in a minimalist style, a more detailed and realistic drawing can be made, and rhinestones and sequins can also be used.
If you don't know how to draw, you can select stickers. Fish can decorate any nail covering, even a classic French one.
Bright mosaic
It is preferable for young girls to do bright mosaics on their nails. The mosaic is laid out using different decor, which is easily attached to the nail plate. This could be kamifubuki, broken glass and other small decor. If you are tired of rhinestones, then mosaic will be an alternative to shiny decor.
Using mosaics, you can create a bright, unusual, calm or shocking manicure. And all thanks to the versatility of the pattern and the possibility of using different colors of varnish or the decor itself.
Laconic ombre
Laconic ombre is delicate and pastel shades of varnish that softly and smoothly form a single color. In the summer of 2022, it is not recommended to use bright and dark ombre. It is the laconic, simple, minimalist and gentle option that will be in fashion. Ombre manicure can be complemented with a small amount of decor: rhinestones, light designs, and foil. A laconic ombre looks great on different nail shapes and lengths.
#1 Beautiful monochromatic manicure for long nails 2022
The simplest and most universal solution for long nails is a single-color coating. It looks appropriate on any shape, even the most unusual. Remember that a single-color coating focuses attention on the shade and quality of application. Choose discreet colors, for example, pastels: light pink, light blue, matte bright shades. As for dark shades, you should be careful here. It is not recommended to cover long stiletto or square nails with plain black gel polish. If you still decide to use a dark shade as the main one, then complement it with geometric decor, silver glitter, and sliders.
The quality of the coating is also important for the decoration of long nails. At the “length”, any flaws will be immediately noticeable, so choose professional craftsmen to complete the design.
Fashion ideas
Round decor
A manicure with polka dots, kamifubuki, circle stickers, caviar and round rhinestones is a fashionable and stylish manicure for summer 2022. A manicure with a round decor can be made very bright, multi-colored, which can be perfectly combined with different clothes.
The circles can be laid over the entire area of the nail plate or along its edge. Any design that your imagination can come up with is at your disposal. This manicure is very easy to perform at home, which will allow you to save extra money.
Exotic summer
An exotic manicure will delight lovers of summer holidays. Exotic themes include any fruits, ferns, flamingos and bright parrots. This type of manicure is considered a purely summer look, which is not suitable for other seasons of the year.
Cute daisies
For lovers of floral patterns, summer 2022 invites you to decorate your nails with daisies. Daisies can be painted on nails in completely different ways; fortunately, there are a lot of variations in their execution. Most often, only one nail is decorated with chamomile, while the others are covered with a single-color varnish or made into a classic French manicure.
With the help of small daisy stickers you can decorate the entire nail plate, on all fingers. Real masters are professionals in their field, creating luxurious designs with daisies that seem to come to life on your nails.

Remember that if you start experimenting with an image, it is best to do it in the summer of 2022, when any creative manicure options will be in fashion.
Summer manicure for short nails
Short nails are very comfortable and practical. They cannot be broken, and a manicure at this length lasts much longer than at any other length. Short nails are better suited than others for the summer season, due to the optimal wearing time between manicure procedures. After all, if you go to the sea, then obviously there will be no time to fix a broken nail, as well as carry out frequent corrections. Of course, this property only applies to extended nails, but if you have relatives, then you have nothing to fear.
The summer period of 2022 suggests using a bright and free palette of varnishes, as they visually help expand the nail plate and make the nails larger. This property will greatly please women with narrow nails who lack “fullness.”

Summer manicure for medium nails
The average shape allows you to choose a beautiful and sometimes surprising design for them. In particular, brush strokes and double colors will be a summer option. By the way, in the latter version, a double color of varnish can be applied to one nail in half, and in the other, one color can be used on one hand, and the other on the other.
Random application of colors is also allowed, but only strictly in two types. This can be any color of your choice, where the shades harmonize well with each other, or, on the contrary, conflict. In this case, the manicure will turn out to be very creative, bright and catchy.
Brush strokes are made with any strokes across the entire nail plate, as if by accident. They can be flat, narrow, more precise and come in different colors. This makes it possible to create a light, airy design.

Designs in this style are varied:
- "Rainbow";
- Matte + gloss;
- Rhinestones;
- Space;
- Volume with gold.
Summer manicure for long nails
Long nails are always a luxury. Luxury in every sense, because with such a length you cannot work in many jobs, as it is prohibited by the dress code, but this length is incredibly beautiful and attractive. It helps to visually lengthen the fingers, making them look like the fingers of a pianist.
The shape can be different, by the way, it is this that affects the overall appearance of the hands. Therefore, before choosing it, you should consult a specialist and decide what will be better. A cloud manicure is perfect for long nails in summer. Here the nail itself can be painted blue, blue, indigo, and then clouds can be drawn in the upper part.
Clouds are painted in white or cream, but all these colors are completely optional. After all, this is a classic version with a blue sky and white clouds, but you can make a non-trivial one, where there will be bright and dark colors, other elements and decorations.
Beautiful gradient on long nails
Smooth gradient tints acquire airy pastel tenderness. To create a beautiful manicure on long nails, masters are increasingly using designs that combine pink, blue, mint colors, and all kinds of powdery shades. The gradient with chrome rub or glitter looks stunningly beautiful. And also nature itself suggests the selection of matching colors. Therefore, even three tones will look harmonious and attractive.
Summer manicure for square nails
The square shape of the nails will help make plump fingers look thinner, although the square shape of the nails itself is not distinguished by sophistication. This paradox is achieved by optimizing the consistency of the general appearance of the nails with the fingers, which makes them suitable for each other.
For square nails in the summer of 2022, it will be very interesting to choose a plain or rainbow coating. A rainbow manicure does not have to be a gradient or ombre, but simply painting your nails in different colors will be enough. Five nails - five different colors, which are exactly repeated on the other hand.
A rainbow manicure is combined with a monochromatic manicure, where all nails are painted in a single color, except for one, which should be painted with rainbow gel polish, or use the ombre technique.

Masters continue to modernize and invent new types of manicure. And foam nail art is definitely the best new thing in the last few seasons. By choosing the right colors for the base and the pattern itself, you can play with visual associations from texture to volumetric elements. And light colors will create the effect of a beautiful delicate lace.
Summer manicure for round nails
The feminine and sought-after shape of round nails has always been distinguished from others by its softness. It is quite difficult to create and not every nail will be able to match it, but only the right frame and wide ones, because only in this case the manicure will turn out perfect.
Oval nails for the summer can try on a frame manicure, which is quite rare, unique and created according to different themes. This expands the possibilities for the entire summer season, where you can make one frame for work, but another at sea.
Summer manicure for medium nails
There are also quite a lot of design options, but with some features. Fewer rhinestones, intricate patterns, more restrained designs.
With rhinestones
An indispensable option for creating a festive mood. Medium nails are ideal for any decorative elements. You only need to remember one condition: be able to stop with the rhinestones in time. They like moderation.
Gradient
This is a subtle technique of gradually transitioning from one saturated color to a paler shade.
Experiments with completely different colors are acceptable. Like ombre, with the difference that here only one color scheme is necessarily maintained - from dark gradually to light.
With neon varnish
The undisputed hit of summer design is neon coating. A godsend for nightclubs, because when exposed to ultraviolet rays, marigolds begin to glow, which looks very modern and positive.
Summer manicure for oval nails
The most popular shape is oval. It fits different fingers and different types of nail plates. It can be present on any nail length, where it will always look perfect. It’s easy to select any design for it, from simple to mega-complex.

Another popular technique is French, but not classic, but lunar. It can be presented in different color categories, which makes it easier to choose the perfect option to suit your preferences and the color of your finger skin.
#2 Manicure for long almond-shaped nails 2022

You can create absolutely any design on almond nails. The shape itself looks discreet and elegant; it visually calms even the most complex and voluminous decor.

Summer manicure with
With sunflowers
What summer would be complete without beautiful, tall and very bright sunflowers. On nails, such flowers always look bright, catchy and very attractive. With them you can create entire pictures, decorate a selected nail in a minimalist manicure, or add it to a classic French manicure.
The classic sunflower colors are orange, black and green, but there may be differences. Sunflowers are mixed with other flowers or depicted with insects. It’s better not to decorate all your nails with one design at once, so as not to dazzle your eyes. You can put stones, rhinestones, and sparkles in the center of the sunflower. This will increase the attractiveness of the design and allow you to choose a manicure for important events in life.
With avocado
Recently, avocado manicure has become increasingly popular. The avocado is often thought of as a living fruit that has a mouth, eyes, arms and legs. This allows you to create a very funny character that will perfectly complement the entire manicure.
Avocado is an easy and relaxing manicure option that will fit perfectly into the summer season. Here the artist’s imagination is completely unlimited, so avocados can be depicted in completely different ways. Usually the colors are classic: green, light green, yellow, dark green or black, but there are no restrictions.
If you prefer the classics, then it is better to choose an avocado design in the form of an ordinary fruit that will decorate your nails or complement any technique.
With fruits
Fruit manicure is the leader of the summer season of all years. Likewise, 2022 does not pass by this option and offers to fully immerse itself in its advantages. The fact is that fruit manicure is universal, due to the wide variety of fruits that can be depicted on nails.
Thanks to this property, a fruit manicure can be made very realistic, where you will want to bite off a juicy piece of fruit from the nail itself. But to create something like this, the artist must have artistic skills or use stickers.
Among the most popular fruits that are selected for fruit manicure are oranges, lemons, kiwis, bananas, avocados, pineapple, coconut, tangerines, kiwis and many other options. They are drawn by type, or combined together, where the most popular is the combination of lemon and orange.
With coconut
Coconut manicure is especially sweet. It looks stylish, interesting and has its own flair. The main thing here is to choose a beautiful design so that it harmonizes as successfully as possible with the shape and length of the nail itself. The coconut is presented in whole or in half, with additional elements in the form of a cocktail umbrella and other paraphernalia.
Often, a coconut, like an avocado, can look like a “come to life” character who will smile at you from your own nails. A master's imagination knows no bounds, so you can always easily create something original and surprising.
Coconut manicure can be decorated with additional decor, or you can paint other types of fruits, berries and even vegetables with it. The last option is not always successful, so you need to accurately determine the compatibility of patterns before application.
With palm trees
A purely summer version of a manicure with palm trees is better suited than others for a sea or other type of vacation. However, this does not prohibit regular wear within the city or at work. In any case, palm trees will look very relevant in the hot season.
Palm trees can be drawn quite realistically, complementing the image with a summer landscape: blue sky, bright sun and greenery. Coconuts are sometimes added to palm trees to maximize realism.
The palm trees themselves are drawn on top of a delicate, not very bright coating, so that the main color does not interrupt the design. An interesting move would be to use a gradient technique, which will ultimately create a bright and beautiful design.
With rocks
Manicure with stones is festive for the summer of 2022. If you are planning a holiday, event or important speech, then the best option would be to get a manicure with stone decoration. It is much more difficult and takes longer to complete, because the more stones there are, the more difficult the work will be.
The stones must be glued correctly so that they can last long enough. Laying out stones can have its own technique, which ultimately forms a picture, pattern, or inscription. It can also be random, which allows for any location on the nail itself.
Some particularly skilled craftsmen use stones to smooth out the line of the smile zone. This forms a kind of festive jacket that will be worthy of any wedding.
With glitter
A shiny manicure is universal. It is always done quickly and simply, and also helps to revive even the most discreet coating. Any polish with the addition of sparkles will look elegant and beautiful, and if you choose a sophisticated technique, your manicure will become a work of art.
There is a large selection of glitter on sale in color, grain size and shape. This allows you to mix it with different varnishes, and then apply it to the nail, or then add it to the coating, and cover it with a transparent top gel. Textured sparkles are suitable for decorating any technique, especially classic French or moonlit ones.
In the summer, any interpretation of sparkles in manicure will be fashionable. Among which are full shiny coverage, emphasis on one nail, shiny patterns, drawings, lace, as well as geometry. In a jacket, glitter successfully replaces covering the smile area with white varnish.
With stickers
With stickers it is very easy to create a manicure that will be relevant always and everywhere. After all, the stickers themselves are available in different themes, among which you can find drawings, animals, portraits of people, various patterns, complex lace and much more.
Floral stickers are considered especially popular. These are flowers and other types of plants that very beautifully complement any manicure. Thanks to stickers, a luxurious design can be easily done at home, without seeking the help of a specialist in the salon.
Gradient manicure for spring 2022
Gradient manicure always looks stylish and original.
You can make non-standard designs with it:
- Rainbow Transitions;
- French gradient;
- Geometry;
- Curved lines;
- Stencils.
With the help of airpoofing or an airbrush and stencils, you can create a quick and beautiful manicure. Before starting to apply the gradient, it is better to coat your finger around the nail with a special product. Next, glue the stencil, and only then apply the gradient. Using a gradient, you can make a beautiful sea wave design. Gradient has no boundaries for nail design.
Summer manicure at sea
Summer 2022 calls for the use of a comfortable nail shape and optimal length on a sea holiday to minimize injuries and breakage. But here everything will definitely depend on your preference and individual reasons.
As a color, the indigo shade will become fashionable, which creates a deep and rich blue color on the nails with a possible dark tint. It can be decorated with different decor to enliven or refresh the coating. A hot topic would be to use stickers or simple drawings.
The most advanced techniques are acrylic powder and foil, with which it is very easy to create a variety of designs. The foil is placed on the nail at the request of the client, or according to a creative idea, which ultimately gives a unique design with complex elements when created. Acrylic powder is suitable for focusing attention on one nail, or for creating 3D flowers.
Spring-summer manicure for long nails
This selection is dominated by designs on nails and all kinds of patterns.
- Smooth lines, waves;
- Patterns, geometry, minimalism, painting;
- Ombre - transitional colors
- Images of nature coming to life.
Both calm colors look appropriate, and vice versa, rich, bright shades are more suitable for clothes in calm tones - a light dress, a sand suit. A neat, soft manicure will perfectly complement colorful clothes, for example, a colorful dress or a denim look.
