Stylish and fashionable
The new shade is on trend among manicurists and fans of pastel colors. Caramel nails suit any season and can be worn all year round.
To the classic nude shades that never go out of style, this season adds a more intense color palette. She mixes classic melodies of milk and powder, colors of honey and chocolate, and “candy” designs on her nails. Caramel nails are elegant and feminine. They look good on any shape: short, oval, square, almond-shaped and even long stilettos.
Whether you're looking for a laid-back manicure or dream of diving into the depths of caramel, there's sure to be a design to suit you. A gentle manicure in pastel colors will perfectly fit the image of a dreamy and romantic girl. The combination of pastel varnishes, caramel and yellow tones makes many people think of delicious desserts.
Another new manicure trend is the caramel latte, which takes inspiration from the warm tones of a delicious caramel cappuccino. Glossy or matte, with glitter or designs - caramel nails have gained immense popularity across all social networks. They are perfect for any occasion and skin color.
Brown manicure for long nails
Those with long nails can afford almost anything! For example, a French nail art style - with animal prints on the tip of the nail, a manicure with a super-fashionable “turtle” effect or a “leopard” manicure. It literally begs for a brown coating and spectacular shimmering decor: rhinestones, glitter, foil; an accent in the form of a contrasting pattern on 1-2 nails also looks impressive.

Lunar manicure in brown tones can also be different. Retro designs will make your nails look graceful. Play with contrast: blue and gold, black and white, green and crimson. The crazier the colors, the more stylish you will look. Draw a crescent moon with a brush or decorate with foil. The location of the smile is at the lunula or at the tips of the nail.
The currently fashionable craquelure looks impressive, and does not require much effort. Apply a coat of gold polish, let it dry, then cover the nail with black craquelure. Wait until the polish starts to crack and then coat your nail with clear polish. Use the caviar design on one or two nails.
Paint your nail with varnish, mix beads of a shade that matches the varnish and distribute them evenly over the surface of the nail plate until a dense layer is formed. Secure with clear varnish to prevent the decor from falling off.
Chocolate manicure with a pattern
Often a manicure in chocolate tones is complemented with a pattern with coffee beans or a mug of coffee. This design can only be performed by masters who are proficient in artistic manicure techniques. Although there are cute versions of simple designs in the form of coffee beans with drops of topcoat, which give the manicure richness and volume.
Matte chocolate manicure
You can make your manicure more charming with a matte top coat. Just choose an interesting chocolate shade of gel polish and cover it with a matte finish. To create an evening design, you can use pieces of gold foil, laying them out in the form of wrapping paper. Also, to create a chocolate manicure, you can use chafer rubs, which create interesting highlights and tints of color on the surface of the nail.
