Who is suitable for cartoon manicure?
Nails with cartoon characters can look bright or modest.
It all depends on the colors and accents. If you apply a pattern to each nail, the design will become more colorful. There are several options for how to create a cartoon manicure.
Firstly, it all depends on the length of the nails and age category. If we are talking about a little girl or a schoolgirl, then the color scheme, texture and animation technique of the manicure itself will differ from decorating the nails of an adult woman. For example, on the nails of an adult woman, an image of the Simson family would be appropriate.
For manicure, choose characters from cartoons, comics and anime. The easiest way is to use ready-made stickers that are easily transferred to the nail plate. The hardest part is drawing the characters with a brush.
Manicure with animals in geometric style
Today, design in the style of geometry is considered the most popular and in demand. Even images of animals are fashionable nowadays to draw in this direction. Geometric style involves making a drawing using dots and lines. For a more simplified version of applying the ornament, craftsmen use ready-made sliders and stampings. Well, for those who like to make the ornament themselves, a geometric pattern will not be difficult. Geometric animals are quite often created in achromatic colors. When applying this design, the most important thing is to choose the right shades and carefully apply the lines of the design so that the silhouette of the animal is noticeable.
Classic cartoon manicure ideas for adults
A huge number of cartoons have been released. Let's start with the most relevant and suitable for women of any age.
The peculiarity of a manicure with Mickey Mouse is that it will look perfect in pink, red and other bright and feminine colors. To prevent the design from looking too vulgar, a cartoon character is depicted on one nail, and the remaining fingers are decorated in a corresponding theme.
A cartoon character can be made not only in native colors, but also decorated with various sparkles or sequins. To begin, the manicurist and client choose a general tone, then determine a place for the Mickey Mouse sketch and cover it with shiny elements.
A design with a cartoon character made in black and white will look very original. This type of manicure can be used both for work and for everyday use. You should not add shiny voluminous elements to a black and white design, as this can spoil the overall image of the manicure.
For lovers of minimalism, a luxurious manicure option is suitable - all nails are covered with a universal gray color, and then covered with matte varnish. The result is an incredibly smooth and pleasant manicure; to decorate it a little, you can add a funny mouse to the ring finger or thumb.
Cartoon manicure suits all women without exception. An interesting idea will allow you to decorate your nails and complement a woman’s image. In addition to cute Mickey and Minnie Mouse, you can also choose other favorite heroes of Soviet and foreign cartoons.
Manicure with animals in artistic style
Some manicurists have a special talent for hand-painting nails. It looks like a real work of art or a colossal masterpiece. After all, most craftsmen use stickers or ready-made stamps for design. To perform paintings, several types of brushes are required at once. Each layer of the ornament applied to the nail must be dried in a UV lamp. The master must have excellent imagination and artistic skills.

Manicure with animals using acrylic powder
Most manicurists use acrylic powder to create winter nail art. Basically, these are ornaments of a certain theme that cannot be made without this device. Powder serves as a means for creating convexities of certain elements of the design (snowflakes, a scarf and a teddy bear's hat, and many other designs). Acrylic powder in delicate bed and white colors is often used.

Nail design for almond shape: fashionable options for any length
Of course, when implementing this or that idea in a manicure, the master will focus on the original length of the client’s nail. An experienced nail designer is well aware that overloading a short plate with rhinestones, stickers or creating a gradient is not the best idea.
Important: if you want to bring to life an interesting idea for a manicure on almond nails, but the length does not allow it, you should consider the option of nail extensions. Well, modern gel polishes will help extend the life of your manicure.
Manicure for long almond-shaped nails
Long almond nail shape is a great field for experimentation. For everyday work (of course, if there is a fairly strict dress code), classic manicure options are perfect - French, moonlit, ombre or gradient in soothing colors. A single-color coating—matte or glossy—looks feminine and elegant.
But even the most creative ideas will work well with the almond form. The increased length of the plate allows you to place sparkles, rhinestones, stickers and other decorations on it without creating a feeling of overload or lack of taste.
Design for short almond shaped nails
Despite their versatility, almond short nails have a number of limitations when implementing a particular manicure idea. In general terms, you need to be more careful with the decor. Many design options will visually shorten the plate even more, making the fingers short and the hands disproportionate.
Important: if the length of the plate does not allow you to implement all the most daring design ideas, you should not abandon the idea altogether. Just limit yourself to one fingernail.
Spicy Almond Nail Designs
The strongly pointed edge of the almond-shaped plate is now and then at the peak of fashion. Note that sharp marigolds themselves are quite provocative and noticeable. Don't overload them with design elements. Of course, unless you are planning to get a manicure for a holiday - New Year, February 14, Halloween and others. Here it is permissible to decorate your nails with any thematic attributes and make them as bright as possible.
But everyday manicure should be more modest.
Who is suitable for the almond nail shape and who is not?
The fashionable shape of almond nails is a real salvation for almost all nails and fingers.
The only thing you need to worry about is the length of the free edge of the nail. On short nails it will be difficult to make such a shape, and the effect may not be pleasing. But the solution is not difficult to find: you can grow your nails or use an extension service. Almond-shaped marigolds are suitable for owners of the following nail plates:
- oblong with any shape of the cuticle line (the required length of the free edge is at least 4 mm);
- wide with any shape of the cuticle line (the required length of the free edge is at least 5-6 mm);
- round, oval of any width from one nail fold to another (minimum length - 4-5 mm);
- square with any nail width (minimum length - 4-5 mm).
You can find your own approach to almost any shape of the nail plate; you just need to determine the required length of the free edge of the nail, which varies depending on natural data. For example, a nail plate with a width of 10 mm and a length from the cuticle to the smile line of 12 mm will look great with a free edge of 7-8 mm.
In practice, it is generally accepted that the ideal version of an almond-shaped manicure is a protruding part of the nail, 1-1.5 times longer than the distance from the cuticle to the smile line (the length of the nail bed). But this rule is often ignored due to the impracticality of such a nail length.
It is not recommended to model this shape on nails with a wide spade-shaped nail plate (for a beautiful appearance of the manicure, you will need to grow the nail by at least 9 mm or extensions, and the nail will ultimately not look aesthetically pleasing).
