As in the previous season, naturalness and naturalness in manicure are very popular today . This applies not only to the shape and length of the nails, but also directly to the nail art itself. In the fall-winter of 2014-2015, neat and well-groomed nails are in fashion, indicating the success of their owner. This effect is not difficult to achieve, because to help lovers of cool manicures, varnishes with various effects and various technologies for creating original designs are produced.
Recommended nail shape and length
Since natural beauty is still encouraged today, designers recommend opting for oval and almond-shaped nails. Don't be upset if you prefer a square. Make its outlines softer and rounded - this shape is also relevant in the fall-winter of 2014-2015. This season, stilettos and other extravagant nails will be inappropriate, since fashion trends are aimed at rigor and restraint. Also take care of the moderate length of your manicure. Marigolds reaching 2-5 mm will look as natural and feminine as possible.
A simple jacket with a twist
French manicure with a twist
Performing a French manicure requires some effort, but all of it is justified by the result. Especially if it’s not just a classic French jacket, but with a little painting. It doesn't take much to complete.
First of all - white varnish for the free edge, shiny varnish with a thin brush, and just a thin brush. Fixer and base are an integral part of any manicure and design. Therefore, the base is applied first. And only after it has dried should you start creating the design.
A French coat is made with white varnish - the free edge is neatly overlapped, and the corners along the smile line are lowered slightly. With a thin brush, you can additionally draw stars or snowflakes on the nail bed. Subsequently, when covering them with ultra-gloss, a very shiny effect is obtained.
In the middle of the free French edge, a thin horizontal strip is drawn with shiny varnish. This gives French manicure originality and zest. The relevance of this design is that it is suitable for both natural nails and extensions. Moreover, it is in fashion in 2014, and in 2015, and next year. And it can also be used as a festive New Year's design.
A jacket like the one in the photo can always be done not only in the classic style, but also in any other. For example, in red, blue, black and any other. Fan-french also does not go out of fashion. The main thing: choose the right shade.
Colors and shades of fashionable manicure
In the new season, the bright and rich colors of summer give way to the deeper and darker shades of autumn. Flashy acidic varnishes are a thing of the past, gradually being replaced by restrained and calm colors. Let's figure out which manicure colors are popular today.
Tenderness and naturalness of nude nail polish
Based on the main trend of autumn-winter 2014-2015, popular designers suggest focusing on natural beige shades of manicure. Nude on nails has occupied a special place in the field of nail art for several years now, as it can decorate any look. The restraint and neatness of this manicure captivated many girls. Warm beige and milky shades of nail polish are perfect for every day and as the finishing touch to a stylish evening outfit.
The luxury of a burgundy-wine palette on your nails
The undisputed favorite is the burgundy-wine manicure, which will be appropriate under any circumstances. Sensual and noble colors will add some mystery to your image. All shades of wine are in fashion: from piercing burgundy to muted red. Ideal if your manicure matches the shade of lipstick or one of the accessories.
All shades of gray in autumn-winter nail art
At the peak of popularity today are all variations of gray varnish: from smoky ash to dark charcoal. Feel free to experiment with textures and coating effects to create gorgeous and unusual nail art. This season, a smooth transition from a light color to a more saturated dark color is allowed and even encouraged. A huge palette of gray paints is perfect for such purposes.
Metallic reflections on nails
This fall, a luxurious shade of gold is no less in demand. Attractive golden tints attract the eyes of others, and soft reflections will add femininity to the image. In the coming season, golden manicure is a symbol of luxury, prosperity, as well as home warmth and comfort.
In addition to the golden shine, all metallic varnishes are very relevant today. It can be silver-gray, sand, emerald, chocolate color. The main thing is that these shades have metallic highlights. This effect can be achieved using sparkles and rhinestones or buying a special metallic varnish.
Dark blue and green shades of manicure
Today in the field of nail art, dark variations of deep blue and green colors are more popular than ever. Nails coated with a deep blue or cobalt shade will look especially advantageous if such colors predominate in your outfit. Calm and discreet olive and grassy green polishes are also very popular among fashionistas.
Timeless classic black
The final chord of the wide palette of fashionable colors for autumn and winter is the shade of night color. Black nail polish should be in the makeup bag of any self-respecting fashionista. Today, this coating has a huge number of variations: matte, glossy, with shimmer or microglitter, and so on. At first glance, nail art done in black tones may seem gloomy and boring, but everything can be corrected by adding a little glitter. And the combination of gold and silver sparkles with black varnish evokes genuine admiration.
Geometry
Intricate painting and floral designs, which have been used very often over the past few years, have replaced simple geometric shapes and figures. Zigzag, stripe, triangle, circle attract attention and emphasize the ideal shape of the nails. The geometric design looks especially impressive in black and white.
Metallic shine
Gold and silver, metallic glitter are still popular, be it a Hollywood manicure or small accents. The ideal mirror shine is achieved in several ways, for example using thermal film or special chrome varnishes.
3d design
For those who like to surprise with their extravagance, various chains, figurines, brooches and other jewelry, unusual textures or coatings are suitable. Among the interesting ways to create texture, the caviar design stands out, which can be used on one nail or on all of them at once. Rhinestones, sparkles, decorations and rivets are used very sparingly. It is appropriate to cover one or two nails and under no circumstances cover all nails at once.
French
The classic French jacket, which has always been considered the embodiment of taste and elegance, is losing ground to brighter options when other colors or sparkles are used instead of white. Such forms as “reverse French” are popular, when not the tip of the nail, but the area near the cuticle is highlighted in a contrasting color.
Lunar manicure
Moon manicure, in which a semicircle is highlighted at the base of the nail, is also still relevant. The hole may remain transparent, stand out in a different color or sparkle. A hole filled with gold or steel varnish looks unusual.
Veil
A new design that is gaining more and more popularity looks as if the nails are hidden behind a translucent veil. Often it is also called “tights”, because the pattern of dots, lines and curls really resembles the pattern on tights.

Nail art with various lines and stripes is at the peak of popularity. This time, combinations of colors on nails can be the most incredible and extravagant.

Design: Top 10 Trends
The main trend of 2015 can be called natural and natural manicure; beige and pink tones on short nails can be seen both in everyday life and at the most important shows in Paris or Milan. This manicure confidently replaces the usual classic French manicure.
Nude:
Negative space
A new feature this season is the tendency to cover part of the nail with clear varnish or leave it without any coating at all; a manicure in this style looks like “unfinished.” It looks interesting when only the tip of the nail is covered with varnish.
Simple nail design with tape
Striped nail designs made with scotch tape will be especially popular next year. The lines can be completely different - smooth and clear, deliberately careless, thin and thick, symmetrical and chaotic, pastel and bright.
The most fashionable color combinations for striped manicure will be:
- black and white;
- silver (gold) and black;
- any bright color with white or black;
- three-color: two colors are bright, contrasting, and the third is a neutral color;
- all shades of the sea - blue (blue, green, sea green) - and classic white;
- patriotic colors, repeating the colors of the flags of various countries.
Nail designs made using adhesive tape will also be popular in the context of a French manicure. Stylists believe that French is much easier to do this way. The smile turns out to be more even, and the varnish does not go beyond the designated boundaries, which often happens when working with stencils. The same applies to lunar manicure. The only difference in the finished nail design will be an almost straight smile line, which, in fact, is one of the trends of the new season.
And you can make an original artistic manicure using adhesive tape by using different colors of nail polish and cutting out not only stripes from adhesive tape, but also various geometric shapes or even patterns. However, in accordance with the fashion trends of the new season, the design on the nail plate should not be overloaded with a large number of elements.
Ready for Halloween!
Halloween manicure

It's not difficult to do it yourself. All you need is a few nail polishes, a thin brush, a sealer and a base. Drawing spiders and webs is not at all difficult; many are familiar with these drawings.
What is new is the addition of a bright shade to the classic black and white pattern. In the photo it is a pink shade. The nails are coated with base varnishes, and then cobwebs and spiders are painted on the dry surface.
Alternatively, you can use an image of a pumpkin or a ghost. This makes the manicure especially creepy, but stylish. Ideas for design can be taken from the classic attributes of the holiday, and then simply depict them on the nails.
