Neat nails with a stylish manicure are the calling card of any well-groomed woman. The design of a manicure can tell you a lot about the tastes and character of its owner. Every day, stylists offer women new products in the field of nail art, and today we will talk about the most relevant ones. On the For-Your-Beauty.ru website you will learn everything about fashion trends in manicure for winter 2022 and the best finds of nail designers.
This season, the leading trend in nail design will be an emphasis on practicality and convenience. Extravagant and aggressive shapes like the cat's claw, bridgette or stiletto are a thing of the past. But the standardity of forms is more than compensated by the variety and brightness of colors and textures.
Naturalness as the main trend of winter 2017
This winter, neat, short nails, the length of the free edge of which does not exceed 2-3 mm, will be in fashion. The most popular shapes will tend to be natural, for example, almond-shaped and oval. Rectangular nails are rapidly losing their position, although this year the “soft square” (squoval) will still be popular. It's time to ditch the fancy nail extensions too. Some leading nail designers also adhere to naturalness when choosing manicure colors. They prefer soft pastel and nude tones. As part of this stylistic decision, it is best to choose pink, beige, cream, lavender, peach, pistachio and white shades of varnish for manicure.
Nail shape and length
A few years ago, long, extended, pointed nails were in fashion. They looked impressive, but were not practical. Therefore, they were replaced by a square nail shape of medium length, and extension of long nails became bad manners.
In 2022, naturalness and elegance remain in trend, but the square shape (which remained at its peak for several years) has been replaced by an oval or almond shape.
For fans of square shapes, nail designers advise making the corners slightly rounded. The current length is 2-5 mm (it is practical and looks neat).
The sparkle of diamonds
However, not all masters believe that this winter they should stick only to subdued tones. One of the popular trends of the coming year is diamond shimmer and the “broken glass” effect on nails. The latter is created using special mica. For special occasions, a sparkling manicure decorated with rhinestones and shiny powder and crystal chips is suitable. In some cases, pearlescent varnishes can be used. In summer, this design may seem a little kitschy and provocative, but in the cold season, the iridescent edges will look very sophisticated.
Noble "metallic"
You can emphasize your elegance and impeccable taste with the help of a “metallic” manicure. You can create it using special stickers, mirror pigment or special powder, which will need to be rubbed into the gel polish coating. In winter, it is preferable to use gold and silver shades, avoiding iridescent varnishes. But this season, metallic can be combined with all sorts of pastel colors.
Strict geometry and minimalism
A minimalist nail design, in which attention is focused on strict and laconic lines and angles, will look very original, but at the same time fashionable and sophisticated. Geometric shapes can be arranged in any order, randomly, or even overlap each other. This manicure can be performed in several versions.
- Longitudinal and transverse lines of contrasting colors . Nothing extra, but very unusual. With this design you can visually lengthen your fingers.
- Color block. The nail plate seems to be divided into geometrically regular segments of different colors.
- Negative space. This minimalist design option involves covering only part of the nail with colored polish.
This manicure will look great when using black and white colors, as well as metallic polishes, which will give your look an element of some futurism.
Manicure for short nails 2022
Almost all fashionable nail art ideas are based on a short plate length. After all, the main idea of the whole concept is naturalness. The design of short nails 2022 combines conciseness and representativeness, expressiveness and moderation, neatness and carelessness.

Timeless classic: French manicure
The ideal solution for nails of any length and shape is a French manicure. This design has not gone out of fashion for many years and is rightly called universal. For a traditional French manicure, the nail is coated with pale pink, beige or clear varnish, and a thin strip of white is applied to the very tip of the nail plate. But this winter you can play with this familiar combination: apply a geometric pattern to the nail plate or use some other trendy colors instead of standard ones.
For girls who want to emphasize their originality, an inverted French manicure or moon manicure is suitable. Its distinctive feature is that the main emphasis is not on the tip, but on the nail hole. In this case, the hole can be given any shape: triangular, double, oblique, convex or concave. In 2022, leading nail artists propose combining these two types of design.
