You just need to choose the right shade and decor that suits the situation and mood.

Every year, nail artists present new, unique designs to fashionistas, offering magnificent combinations of different techniques and accessories. These marigolds are relevant in any season, regardless of the weather outside and everyday activities.

This is one of the most versatile options. It is in demand not only for holidays, dates with a loved one or a trip to the sea. Suitable for the business atmosphere of an office or personal office; they can emphasize a serious mood before an important interview, or be worn to college or work.

Light and dark colors provide an excellent platform for creativity. The impact on others and the opinions they form depend on the design and the emphasis placed. Marigolds can speak of a frivolous, carefree romantic mood, or create the image of a serious, responsible girl who can be entrusted with a difficult task.

Many women prefer to be guided by the time of year when choosing a style. In this case, you should listen to the advice of experts:

In spring and summer, rich cornflower blue, sky blue, and turquoise are in demand. Also, the mesmerizingly deep “night sky” is popular, when dark blue smoothly turns into black, and stars twinkle in the depths;
in the spring, the decoration is transparent drops, images of bright blooming flowers, exotic plants, birds;
A win-win winter trend is a combination with a white color scheme. Associated with endless snow-covered expanses, bluish-silver frosty patterns, and the boundless blue of the clear sky above. This design is usually complemented with New Year's and snowy accents - snowflakes, Christmas trees, Christmas tree decorations and even images of New Year's and Christmas fairy-tale characters.

Nail designers recommend combining rich and delicate blue tones with silver, snowy, sunny yellow, turquoise green, and lilac. Also, they are perfectly complemented by nude, black, pink, and marine themes.

Stylish design for blue manicure in 2022

Cornflower blue or light blue marigolds are the hit of the current season.

This background is great for creative solutions, fantastic delights or traditionally gentle ideas. The main task of a fashionista or nail artist is to dilute the monochromatic palette with suitable contrasting or similar colors, to select jewelry or the theme of the drawings. There are several general rules to follow:

short nails look better in a heavenly, frosty bluish and silver design. Nude and transparent coatings are acceptable, combined with a French coat. Sunny lemon and gold look great;
short ones are decorated with vertical stripes, broken lines, strict geometry;
It is recommended to place sparkling decor on 1-2 fingers of both hands, so as not to overdo it with provocative accents. For this, all modern achievements of the nail industry are used;
Don't avoid matte tops this season.

Also, it is worth considering that massive crystals are glued as close to the root as possible. Otherwise, there is a high probability that the nail will break at the most inopportune moment.

Blue manicure with rhinestones

As soon as they appeared on the market, rhinestones firmly won the hearts of fashionistas. With crystals of different cuts, shapes and sizes, you can easily create exactly the effect that is needed at the moment.

There are no restrictions on types of coatings or techniques. The stones look equally great on a monochrome or matte background, emphasizing the charm of a “cat’s eye” or ombre shimmer. Create amazing accents for pastel, white bases. Here are the recommendations of nail designers:

accentuate 1-2 fingers;
rhinestones are complemented not only with drawings, but also with foil and glitter;
silver and gold products look most advantageous on snow-white, nude, and pastel surfaces;
a magnificent effect is created by stones that match the color of the coating, but 2-3 shades darker or lighter.

The decor is suitable for all age categories, for casual or office wear, evening, carnival outfits.

For long nails

Long nails have a variety of options. So you can choose any design, but you need to be careful with the shape - a yellow manicure on square nails looks quite aggressive. The same goes for pointed stilettos - it’s best not to wear a bright yellow manicure on them. The ideal shape is almond and oval.

French manicure looks original on different shades of yellow, especially on long nails. The smile area can be decorated in a lace style, with yellow fringe applied to it, and the main tone can be made matte nude and vice versa. The background remains yellow and the top tip of the nail plate remains white. In addition, the manicure is perfectly complemented by geometry or various small patterns. It will look gentle and feminine.

Moon manicure looks no less interesting. A special love of nail designers in it is given to the desire to create an unusual moon shape. You can move away from the usual semicircle and give it the appearance of a rectangle, oval or triangle.

In this case, various variations of yellow are used. In the warm season, a hole in the shape of some kind of fruit would look creative. Also, as in the case of French manicure, for lunar manicure you can combine color application options.

Create the main one - bare and paint the hole with yellow and vice versa. The main thing is to choose the right combination of colors that do not conflict with each other.

A floral theme will look interesting on long nails. You can create a garden-like look by adding a different floral design to each nail. Add leaves, twigs, buds. This will make the manicure more vibrant, complete and create a unique texture. Undoubtedly, such a solution will attract attention and the desired effect will be achieved.

Blue manicure with foil - trend of 2022

It is recommended to use different techniques with metallized elements: gradient, French, stucco. Pieces of any size are suitable, from the smallest to large ones that cover the entire surface. Multi-colored foil, strict geometric stripes or openwork vignettes look great.

In addition to metal, other decorative elements are widely used - abstract and plot images, inscriptions, pebbles, stickers, kamifubuki. It should be understood that foil looks most advantageous on a deep, dark blue surface.

Yellow manicure trends

Shades of yellow are very diverse. You can use different color options: bright yellow, pale yellow, corn, lemon, orange yellow, saffron, mustard or gold.

You can perform a yellow manicure using various techniques, use glossy or matte finishes and additional decorative elements: rubbing, glitter, rhinestones, foil and manicure sand.

Winter manicure will look great using the sweater technique. This design is reminiscent of intricate knitted patterns with its texture. In addition, the sunny design will bring a warm summer atmosphere.

A huge variety of shades allows you to choose the right option for every fashionista, using interesting rich and deep solid colors or choosing spectacular contrasting combinations.

Matte blue manicure

The matte finish looks gorgeous in blue. The velvety texture softens the rich shades of cornflower blue, heavenly, and deep violet. The colors of the varnishes are selected according to the mood, suitable for the outfit or occasion.

A monochromatic color scheme looks great, however, it can be complemented with catchy or elegant, eye-catching decorations:

gold and silver foil, kamifubuki, broths or pearls;
stripes, broken geometric lines;
sand vignettes.

A matte top looks most impressive on long nails. It is often supplemented with gloss on one or two fingers.

Fashionable color combinations

Blue manicure color has long been equated with classic basic shades. That is why in nail design you can not be afraid to experiment and mix almost any shades. For a summer blue manicure, choose rich contrasting shades, for example, yellow or pink. In winter, combine blue with white. In autumn, give preference to blue-gray colors. But for a spring blue manicure, use a basic beige shade, for example, you can draw beautiful blue flowers on a beige background. If you want to get a manicure to match a blue dress, then try a trendy combination of blue and silver.

Below is a selection of photos of blue manicure in various color combinations.

Red

Only brave and purposeful girls can choose a red manicure color. In combination with blue, this color will sparkle in a new way. Just add red to a few nails and make an interesting transition.

Blue with gold

Blue manicure for short nails

Since the area of small, neat nails is limited, you have to carefully select the design and accessories - not all fashionistas’ ideas are suitable for implementation in such conditions.

It is worth listening to the recommendations of nail artists who know how to work with such nails:

Choose pastels, light delicate shades of blue, turquoise, sea green, and forget-me-not petals.
Soften gloomy, saturated tones with sparkling white, light painting, 3D modeling or more delicate inserts.
Special stickers in the form of vertically oriented stripes and lines visually lengthen your fingers and make your fingers more graceful. Apply the painting manually in the same way.

Decor should be used wisely, in the form of individual crystals and accent marigolds.

Manicure with yellow polish: color combinations

So, do you already have a challenging plan for creating a new nail design using a bottle of yellow nail polish? Then it’s time to weigh all the advantages and disadvantages of such a bright and obvious nail art, and your faithful guide to the world of beauty, ProstoNail, will take on this mission.

Advantages:

yellow is a bright and expressive color, so it can also be used “in complete isolation.” A monotonous manicure in the shade of the sun will still not lose its originality and attractiveness;
yellow perfectly hides minor defects in the nail plates, be it uneven relief or general waviness that cannot be removed by polishing;
The pale yellow shade of the paint complements a basic outfit and goes well with casual and dressy items. Basically, playing the role of an accent color;
Remember that the color yellow improves your mood, so why not take advantage of this cheap antidepressant?

Flaws:

it is necessary to choose only high-quality, proven gel polish with an average degree of fluidity, since the yellow pigment is very problematic to use;
When performing a manicure with yellow gel polish, try to work as carefully as possible and avoid leaks, otherwise it will be difficult to remove “traces of the crime”;
yellow varnish visually gives additional width to the nail plates, which is important for girls with a narrow nail bed, but unacceptable for the opposite cases;
Yellow manicure is not for everyone. Unfortunately, it can emphasize a “gray” look or tiredness on the face;
When growing, bright shades of varnish look untidy, so it’s worth fixing the manicure in time.

Well, as you can see, neil solar art has more advantages than disadvantages. Therefore, we suggest going straight to the point and wisely thinking through your future fashionable manicure in color combinations. Here are at least some of the most popular and original ones.

With black

Black and yellow manicure is the best combination for those who are afraid of too bold experiments. Indeed, it is the black color that acts as a transformative factor, turning the frivolous and naive color of the sun into a cunningly unusual and charismatic combination. This play of contrasts is especially appropriate in ethnic themes, and is also typical for geometric manicure. Do you want to add texture to it? So it’s worth getting a matte manicure.

Yellow and black manicure is a good combination for girls who are hesitant to look too original. It is the black color that complements the bright sunny shade and turns the manicure into a non-standard and attractive combination.

This manicure will look great in a matte version and with geometric shapes.

With green

A yellow manicure will go well with green only if it is a cool shade. It's best if you paint leaves or twigs in green on a yellow background.

With blue

Blue and yellow manicure is an expressive and effective combination. The difference between this combination and others is that it looks the most contrasting. It is better to do this manicure in the warm season, because in winter it looks out of season.

It is also worth noting that a yellow manicure for short nails in combination with blue will have a disadvantage, because such a color scheme “occupies” a lot of free space.

With white

The combination of yellow and white looks beautiful. Especially if it is a French manicure, especially if the smile line is drawn very smoothly and accurately. Implementing the French language is not as difficult as it seems at first glance, and we have already described detailed instructions for its implementation in our previous article.

With blue

Blue and yellow manicure is a pleasing combination to the eye, which in many ways characterizes nautical manicure. The contrast of warm yellow and cool blue effectively hides minor flaws and design errors, and can also be complemented favorably with a medium-sized kamifubuki.

With mint

Yellow manicure is combined with mint shades. This manicure suits spectacular and expressive girls. Also in fashion is “moon yellow manicure”, in which the “smile zone” can be highlighted with sparkles.

With pink

The combination of yellow and pink is an unusual way to highlight your individuality. So why not mix these shades into an abstract manicure that goes beyond common sense and fits perfectly with your hectic lifestyle?

With purple

With brown

The combination of brown and yellow is dangerous and unpredictable. Here it is important to choose the right shades according to their degree of saturation and “hot-cold”; this is the only way you will get a satisfactory result of transforming your nails.

With lilac

With turquoise

A gentle and soft combination of these shades will be appropriate on the nails of languid and sensitive girls. This combination is perfect for a spring or summer manicure with glitter.

Blue manicure 2022 on long nails

Being an excellent platform for various kinds of experiments, elongated nails do not go out of fashion.

The following techniques are trending this season:

contrast of rich blue with delicate pastels, bright scarlet and white additions;
cat eye mattifying top;
frosty white, milky and pastel flowers;
gold and silver vignettes.

Since long, symmetrical nails are attractive in themselves and attract the eye, there is no point in strewing them with rich decor. It is better to maintain a sense of proportion.

Sky blue tones

With the arrival of spring, the sky finally turned from dull gray to bright blue. Follow his example when choosing a color for your nails. Play with the delicate morning shades of the sky and the bright blue ones of the afternoon: feel free to mix them together, paint the nails on one hand with them differently, add snow-white clouds, flowers or even stars.
