Varieties of manicure with gradient:
With painting
An excellent option for lovers of exclusive design. Moreover, painting allows you to create thematic images and inscriptions on the nails, which means that the happy owner of such a manicure will, as they say, always be “in the know.” As a rule, such nail art looks better on a large nail plate. In addition, if you have long nails, there are more possibilities for variations. Although, in fairness, it is worth noting that professionals in their field can easily paint on a small nail surface.

When choosing a color scheme, you should take into account the nuances of the future design. For example, will it have a clear outline or will it be a more subtle image. What is the main color of the painting elements? What designs will prevail (flowers, figures, etc.). But in general, there are no strict restrictions or taboos. It all depends on the preferences of each specific client and the “range” of the master’s proposals.

Gradient stripes
Striped manicure has become the hottest trend of the season. And not by chance. Thanks to it, it becomes possible to create amazing, almost three-dimensional designs. The color palette is varied, depending on personal preferences. This manicure is available in matte or glossy. With bright transitions, or with barely noticeable lines. The stripes can be positioned in different directions: vertically, horizontally, and even obliquely. And in each of the above variations, a gradient manicure with stripes looks very impressive and stylish. Also, it is worth noting that depending on the color scheme, this nail design will be appropriate both in an official setting and at a bright event.

A geometric gradient is also popular, when the nail plate has one wide contrasting stripe in the middle or along the edges.
Nail design
This is certainly an area in which everything is possible. The use of rhinestones and sparkles, designs of different shapes and colors, and even abstraction or “cracks” are allowed. It is worth noting that craquelure varnish, which creates the effect of a cracked surface, appeared not so long ago. And initially there were a limited number of "crack" options available. Today, very interesting variations of the “cracked” surface are possible. By the way, such a manicure is not difficult to do yourself at home, using a special craquelure varnish.

Important! Craquelure is “demanding” about the length of the nail bed. On a very short one it looks ridiculous. But on a medium and long stock the craquelure is very effective.
Gradient with flowers
A truly versatile option. Any representative of the fair sex will find a floral gradient that suits her. Both a young lady and an experienced lady with such a nail design look appropriate and creative. The secret lies in the variety of options offered. Particularly in demand are options where pastel shades of varnish are chosen as the base. Beige and delicate pink tones do not distract attention, and the flowers literally “bloom” on graceful nails. A similar design is also possible in bright colors. As a rule, in this case a certain length of the nail is required, since such bright decor does not look good on a very short nail plate.

Matte
If you have short nails, then you should seriously think about matte ombre. This relatively new trend has already gained wide popularity. And in the 2022 season, the demand for such a design will only increase. The color scheme of this manicure allows for flights of fancy. Some people prefer to opt for pastel shades, while for others the ideal solution would be a bright or very dark design. There is no doubt that a matte gradient is good in any color scheme.

Ombre with flock
Manicure with flock, or, as it is also called, velvet or cashmere manicure, is know-how in nail design. Externally, the nails become like velvet pads. Flock is wool fibers up to 1 mm long. These fibers are applied to the base using a special technology. The result is a very unusual design. And if at the same time there is a smooth gradient, then the nails look truly magical. If desired, the design is complemented with rhinestones or other decorative elements. Flock is a very “friendly” material and gets along well with everyone.

This manicure looks good on nails of different lengths, and is suitable both as an option for special occasions and for every day. The only drawback of a “plush” manicure is its fragility. After just a couple of days, the villi begin to crumble and “bald spots” appear on the nail plate. But fashion does not know the word “practical”, so it is not surprising that manicure with flock has become one of the popular trends.

Ombre with rhinestones
Undoubtedly, rhinestones are the best option for a spectacular evening manicure. Especially if the decor is made on a dark surface. However, nail designs with rhinestones are also appropriate for everyday use, provided there are only a few rhinestones.

Current colors of gradient manicure
2021 is a democratic year. It does not dictate any serious restrictions when it comes to shape or color. Rather, on the contrary, they will say “yes” to creativity and bold decisions. To be fair, there are certain fashion trends that will be more relevant.
Of course, nude tones, when performing manicures, managed to remain among the leaders in popularity. You can make a gentle gradient transition from pale beige tones (most similar to skin color) to rich coffee or cocoa colors. When using a creative Ombre manicure, a tandem with a contrasting tone is acceptable.
In general, natural shades of varnish will be more fashionable. The dark ones will have to give in. Ombre will look great in a combination of pale light shades with bright berries. For example, turning a soft pink into a plum or cherry shade looks great.
According to the recommendations of stylists, why not perform a gradient manicure within one color? For example, make a smooth transition from pale mint to pine green. Or from a light shade of “cornflower” to a shade of “sapphire”. Another example of a memorable Ombre is the transition from lilac-smoky to dark lilac.
Interesting! A new trend in color application is linear Ombre. In the coming season, perhaps this will be the most relevant manicure option. It is performed within the same color palette. Linear manicure does not imply a smooth transition; on the contrary, it is important to make clear boundaries. Only use from 5 to 7 tones of the same color. They are applied strip by strip. The transition will be from the lightest to the darkest.
French ombre color combination
The whole idea of an ombre manicure carries the meaning of the correct combination of colors of the varnish coating. Smooth transitions of shades can turn women's nails into a real work of art. But in spite of everything, manicurists use in some cases several color shades, applying them with simple and rough lines. That is, they deprive a woman’s manicure of smooth transitions. This type of decoration for women’s fingers looks great on a long nail plate. Short nails should be decorated with French ombre in calm and light shades. Those representatives of the fair half of humanity who have rather long nails can decorate their manicure with combinations of several bright shades. For example, blue, green and orange tones. This style of play of shades can add originality and uniqueness to a lady’s look. It will also be able to show the outside world that the girl is quite self-confident and ready for extraordinary actions. Transitions of bright tones of varnish can be used for a beach holiday.
Ombre for short nails
Using different methods, they create a gradient on natural and artificial short nails. You can use gel polish and different materials.
If the nail plate is short, it is highlighted with a varnish that can visually lengthen it. In 2022, stylists recommend that owners of short nails take into account the following nuances:
- The varnish should be applied to a third of the height of the plate, and transitions should be made not along the entire length, but in certain areas;
- Cover only one part with glitter to make it an accent. Otherwise your nails will appear very short.
- To avoid focusing on the short length, the coating should have a soft transition of shades.
- On short nails it is not advisable to use large rhinestones. It is advisable to use small sparkles.
The Ombre effect in nail art is becoming increasingly popular. This allows artists and designers to create new ideas. As a result, incredible color tandems and beautiful transitions from one color to another appear.
So, girls and women can create a gradient manicure on their own, realizing their original fantasies. Season 2021 gives free rein to creativity!
