An imperceptible revolution is taking place in the world of fashionable manicure, which simply threatens to tear us apart into two irreconcilable camps! On the one hand, in 2022 the trend towards ease, lightness and discreetness continues. On the other hand, the 90s with their kitsch, sparkles and eternal carnival are rising to the peak of popularity.
There is a positive in this: every girl will be able to choose a fashionable manicure that she likes, maneuvering between two trends!
Manicure fashion 2022: what will happen?
A manicure usually becomes fashionable after trendsetters show it. This could be a fashion show or a famous Instagram blogger whose idea will be picked up by millions. But in 2022, fashion is increasingly influenced by every woman in the world - that is, the “end consumer,” so to speak.

Horoscope for 2022 from Khayal Alekperov
If you follow trends without blindly adopting them, congratulations - you are already working on future fashion!
For example, fashion houses can show manicures with rhinestones, multi-layer coating and 20-centimeter false nails. But it will never become fashionable. Because it's inconvenient!
And convenience is exactly what dictates today’s fashion, including in nail art.
So you can rest assured that in 2018, fashionable manicure will still be based on “three pillars”:
- Short nails. It is practical, suitable for any profession and any occasion.
- Gel polish coating. Its longevity has won the hearts of millions of women. Because few of us today are able to give up everyday activities for the sake of preserving nail polish.
- Nude shades. Manicure/18 has gone even further - now not only nude shades are in fashion, but also completely “naked” nails - this manicure is obtained when patterns are applied to nails covered with a transparent base.

Manicure design with gel polish
Even if you are not an expert in matters of accuracy and symmetry, if you do not have a basic art education or are simply not “hands-on,” you should not deny yourself the pleasure of creating bright decor on your nails. Fortunately, ProstoNail knows at least 10 ways to quickly transform, which you will also learn about by looking below:
- The first easy option for girls who want to stand out is drawing, but on the back of the nail plate. Remember the sole of the legendary Louboutin pumps and similarly paint the inside of your nails with a contrasting gel polish. The result will not disappoint you;
- The design of a black manicure will not be so boring and banal if you complement it with a couple of decorations. Their role can be wire and thin strips, imitation of a ring made of miniature rhinestones or daring piercings. The main thing is not to overload the manicure with elements and watch their weight; too heavy and voluminous “breasts” will quickly disappear;
- experiments on short nails, as a rule, are limited to just a play of shades. Well, then try to use the space around your nails by decorating it with a microtattoo, henna mehendi, or simple dots made using a cosmetic liner;
- negative space is another feature for 2022. Literally “negative”, free space is a piece of the nail that is covered only by transparent varnish. How to combine it with the usual nail decor? The most common example is this: the design of a lunar manicure will effectively complete a “negative technique” with an unpainted lunula. Even after a long time, such a manicure will not lose its original presentability;
- The design of a matte manicure can be perfectly adorned with particles of glitter or confetti contrasting against the general background. The combination of simplicity and pomp, severity and fun, audacity and romance is what the contradictory female nature needs;
- Continuing the theme of radiance, it is necessary to recall the ombre manicure created with the help of sparkles. It looks festive and catchy, so it decorates not only a prom manicure, but also any other special occasion;
- Graphic nail art captivates many people today. It is not as difficult to execute as gradients and prints, but it looks no less interesting. After the base polish has dried, add contrasting stripes to either side of the nail, carefully outline the hole, or use tape for the design. It can be glued, making it an independent element of manicure, or used as a stencil - then the area of the nail under the tape can be left “bare”, according to the above-mentioned trend, and combine nude stripes with a varnish of a bright or dark saturated shade;
- minimalism is also on the crest of a wave, due to its versatility and practicality. Such nails, with the correct placement of accents, attract a lot of attention, you want to photograph them and look at them with interest, repeating something similar on your fingers;
- for those who love details and do not want to attract unnecessary attention, laconic patterns provide greater freedom for self-expression. The theme is not at all limited by limited means: you can symbolically express affection by placing a self-sufficient dot on any nail (it can be combined in color with some detail in makeup or clothing, or maybe not). In general, this is the most urban manicure option - because it can be performed on nails of any length and shape and requires little time to implement;
- and let's not forget the fact that there is still an abstract manicure, which not only does not lose its leadership position, but is only gaining popularity among women of different ages and social status. A drop of foil for a metallic shine, a couple of careless strokes with a brush generously dipped in paint - and a masterpiece of fine art is ready;
- Pop art is another cool theme that you can use when getting your nails done on vacation or a hot summer party. Bold slogans, manifestos and bright, contrasting pictures with lips that look like they were cut out of a comic book will definitely not leave you unnoticed;
- If we somewhat overlook the issue of design and pay attention to the form, then certain changes have also occurred here. Nowadays, almond-shaped nails have replaced coffin-shaped nails, which cause mixed reactions;
- Designer nails or puzzle nails are another hit, immortalized on the pages of the famous glossy magazine. Imitation of puzzles, just like when playing Tetris, looks extraordinary and bold, but at the same time restrained and intriguing https://u.to/LKNQ.
When experimenting and implementing various trends, remember that in the pursuit of fashion it is so easy to lose yourself. Therefore, it is better to stick to your own style, diluting it with bright innovations.

Ombre or gradient manicure
A gradient manicure (also called ombre) is a nail design in which one color smoothly transitions into another, usually several tones lighter or darker.
However, recently quite contrasting combinations have become increasingly common.
The most striking color combinations include: purple and pink, dark blue and soft blue, lemon yellow and deep orange. Any transition to a lighter tone or transition to white looks neat, fresh, but not provocative.
Gradient manicure is often complemented with a small amount of rhinestones or decorative stones, designs or patterns. The combination with rubbing or the “negative space” design, which we wrote about above, looks great.
Summer ombre option
Designs with rhinestones, sparkles, and decorative stones are another option for an elegant manicure that won’t take too much time.
You can use rhinestones, sparkles or stones to create a moon manicure or designate a French manicure. With their help you can lay out graceful smooth lines, stripes and patterns.
Wells are allocated in three ways:
- Convex line;
- Concave line;
- Triangular shape.
Sometimes the entire nail plate is covered with sparkles or small rhinestones. This option is especially appropriate for a monochromatic manicure. Simple geometry lined with rhinestones or a sparse line looks beautiful.
Do not cover all your nails with rhinestones and stones. A lot is not always good. Swarovski stones look beautiful and luxurious, creating an “expensive” look.
Rhinestones can be transparent or colored, for example, blue, purple, emerald, ruby.
A design with stones and rhinestones will not always be provocative. If you use delicate pastel shades, the manicure will become a natural complement to your everyday, and even office, look.
It is best to create such a manicure using gel polish, high-quality rhinestones and stones. Rhinestones must be glass, otherwise they will quickly wear off, lose their shine and look cheap and untidy.
Combination of French with rhinestones
Gray manicure is in fashion in 2018
Gray is the new base color. Choose rich, glossy shades so that your manicure doesn’t make you look like the pale hands of a dead man.
A great idea is to combine gray manicure in a 4+1 option. Choose a different shade for one or two nails - either a similar tone or a contrasting one will do.
