Nail design cat eye 2022 photo new items spring summer
If you are used to always being the center of attention, then the shining manicure 2022 with cat eye polish will be one hundred percent to your liking. The varnish received its name for its resemblance to the mineral of the same name - cat's eye, also known as cymophane. A distinctive feature of cymophane is the unusual play of light, causing oddly shaped highlights running across its surface. The mesmerizing reflections of a cat's eye are so beautiful that they inspired specialists to create a gel polish that imitates this optical effect. Gel polish contains tiny metal particles, which, after applying the polish to the nails, are exposed to a special magnet. As a result, the particles are arranged in a special way, creating stunning three-dimensional patterns that simply delight others. What pattern you get depends on the magnet. The simplest option is a strip that seems to emit light. However, modern industry allows you to get more intricate options: waves, diagonal stripes, stars and much more. Cat eye palettes from different manufacturers have a different number of shades, but in general the range of possible choices is unusually wide and every girl can choose what she likes. Natural shades that resemble natural minerals look interesting: dark olive, golden brown, chestnut. Deep shades of green look great: malachite, marsh. The trend is all shades of dark blue and purple.

Manicure with negative space gel polish 2022 fashion trends photo spring summer
One of the popular manicure ideas for spring-summer 2022 is the “negative space” manicure. The “negative space” technique involves the presence of unpainted or covered with transparent varnish areas on the nail plate - this option looks extravagant and gentle at the same time. There are a lot of options for using negative space, but they all have a common goal - to attract attention with a non-standard solution. One of the simplest ways is to perform a monochrome manicure, leaving an unpainted window in the center, and the shape of the window can be very different, from a simple rectangle or strip across the entire nail, to more complex hearts and stars. However, most often negative space is used as a basis for a drawing. Drawings may vary in subject matter and execution technique. These can be flowers, thin branches, lace, geometric patterns, leaves, butterflies, abstract curls and monograms.
Nail design with kamifubiks
The name kamifubuki came from Japan, but in our country you can often hear such a name as nail design with confetti.
This is a fresh trend that has already gained popularity. This manicure really looks unusual, and nail artists have introduced it into their permanent arsenal, skillfully playing with other popular trends.
Confetti is associated with celebration, fun, and positivity. Indeed, one look at such a manicure – and your mood begins to rise.
The design with kamifubiks allows your imagination to run wild, to choose both an evening option and a manicure for everyday life. You can focus on one nail, or you can use several nails in this style.
The combination of confetti with a French jacket, a plain coating or a small number of patterns looks beautiful.

Matte manicure 2022
Matte surface and dark shades of varnish are the best combination that you can think of in nail design. A manicure with a deep dark shade of matte varnish will create the image of a confident person, because not every girl decides on such a nail design.
A matte texture can be applied to 1-2 accent nails, while the remaining fingers can be coated with regular varnish.
Undoubtedly, black is absolutely not a spring-summer shade, so some designers offer brighter and more expressive colors. For example, a matte manicure in pale pink will look very unexpected and beautiful.
Summer French
An old trend with a new twist. French is a design that will always be in fashion, because such a seemingly basic simple manicure can be enlivened with a thousand ideas.
Summer French means bright colors, creative combinations, original designs. You definitely won’t be bored!

Stripes on nails 2022
Stripes have conquered not only the fashion world, where it is impossible to imagine a stylish look without things with horizontal or vertical stripes. This popularity has also affected nail designs, where stripes are used as a basic pattern.
Stripes are truly a unique pattern that allows you to create a huge amount of nail art with just a few shades of varnish on hand.
Every girl can do a manicure with stripes; just alternate several shades of polish on one nail, drawing horizontal, vertical or diagonal stripes.
Even such a popular technique as ombre has picked up the growing popularity of stripes and offers fashionistas a vertical version of this stylish design.
Manicure with flowers, fruits, berries
Manicure with flowers, fruits and berries is a design for summer 2022, which can be done both with the help of the skillful hands of nail artists and with the help of slider stickers.
The advantages of stickers include the speed of working with them. The design can be drawn indefinitely; the sticker will take a few minutes. In addition, stickers offer interesting ready-made ideas.
On the other hand, if you have a sketch, you know exactly what you would like to see on your nails, then feel free to implement your plans. You can create a design on your nails yourself or seek help from a specialist.
Fruit cuts and a 3D effect with droplets look interesting on nails. Often they draw (or stick on) watermelons, kiwis, pineapples, and strawberries.
The most commonly chosen flowers for summer designs are poppies, irises, small flowers or abstract images of flowers.

The Negative Space style, in other words, negative space, is popular not only in manicure, but also in makeup. The essence of this design is that the nail plate is partially covered with varnish, leaving gaps, which are then filled on top with colorless varnish.
Widely used elements of this design are hearts, stripes, geometric patterns, moon manicures or chaotic spaces.
Examples of works in the style of “negative space”
Geometric designs on nails look laconic. Nail designs with animals in a geometric style are popular. Smooth, clear lines look neat and don’t get boring.
This manicure will appeal to connoisseurs of minimalism; thin stripes fascinate with their simplicity.

If you want to bring this design to life yourself, it's best to use a liner brush with long, thin bristles to create the perfect line.

And if previously only two colors were combined in design - white and pink (nude), then over the last few years it has been possible to choose any tones that combine with each other. For example, red and white, beige and gold, black and emerald. Paintings representing prints, floral motifs and plot designs, as well as stickers, rhinestones and stones, sparkles and cue ball glass can be used as decor for the spring-summer 2022 jacket.
Lunar manicure has also visually changed; now, in addition to the usual round hole, designers suggest using the shapes of geometric shapes, such as a triangle, square, rectangle, blot and even a heart. At the same time, the color palette can be different and combine several shades at once.
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.

Manicure with rubbing in gel polish 2022 fashion trends photo spring summer
The usual glitter and special foil can help you create a spring-summer 2022 manicure with a chrome effect. But such decorative elements are not practical to use for modern coatings such as gel polish and shellac. Rubbing is a more suitable option, as it has the appearance of the finest powder, which lays on the nail coating in an even thin layer. In this case, any effect can be created: from delicate pearls to super mirror. It all depends on what pigment to rub in. These tiny sparkles get their name literally, since they are applied by “rubbing” the pigment into the nail coating. On sale it can be found in transparent plastic jars or cones, from which the material is easily removed with a special applicator.

Rubbing
Rubbed manicure is one of the main nail design trends of summer 2018.
Rubbing is a pigment in powder form that has a beautiful shine. The texture resembles a light weightless powder. Initially, it was used to create a mirror or metal coating, but now the scope of its application has expanded significantly.
When using rubbing, the skill, accuracy and patience of the nail artist are very important. The final result directly depends on this.
Types of nail designs for summer 2022 with rubbing:
| Type of rubbing | The effect of using the rub |
| Prism | This type of rubbing is often confused with holography, but it has a finer pigment and creates a smooth, pleasant shimmer. |
| Holographic | When using such a rub, every part of it is visible. It goes well with fashionable colors and is best suited for covering the entire nail plate. |
| Metallic shine | A trendy rub that, when applied correctly, creates the perfect “metallic” effect on the nails. There is a pigment with silver, pearl and chrome shine. |
| Rub in with fine glitter | Creates a shimmering effect, looks beautiful on the tips of the nails, and allows you to create a smooth transition (from more intense to less noticeable application). |
| Chafer | One of the most spectacular rubbings, which changes color when viewed from different angles. In other words, a chameleon rub. |
| Pearl | It softens the base color of the gel polish, making it more delicate and giving it a pearly shine. So, for example, red gel polish will turn pale pink when applied. |
| Northern lights | It is similar to chameleon rub, but does not include warm shades in its palette and looks more “cold”. Black or white gel polish is often used as a base for this rubbing. |
| Golden rub | Thanks to this effect, you can create a luxurious, expensive manicure. This rub is usually used to cover the entire nail plate. |

Matte manicure with gel polish 2022 fashion trends photo spring summer
Matte decorative varnishes for painting nails appeared relatively recently, but are already breaking all records in popularity. One gets the feeling that glossy varnishes are being quietly pushed into the background. Matte manicure spring-summer 2022 does not have any shine and does not reflect light. It gives a velvet effect on the nails, and it seems that the nail plate is not covered with varnish, but with a material like suede or velor. Everyone knows that for a classic manicure you need to choose varnishes of the same structure - matte or glossy. If you choose a matte base as the main color for all nails, you can apply designs on it with glossy varnish and add a couple of rhinestones. The topic of the color palette for matte manicure is inextricably linked with the question “What colors in the nail service are considered the most trendy today?” Nail fashion “gives the green light” to the entire range of discreet colors, delicate tones and laconic shades in the spring-summer 2022 season. There are a huge variety of them and every girl and woman will certainly choose the shade she likes best for a manicure, including matte varnish. Of course, these colors are most often chosen for manicure.
Nail shapes popular this year
In 2022, nail designs with a natural, natural shape are encouraged. Sharp corners, clear squares are what you should avoid, but long nails are back in fashion today.
If your favorite shape is a pike or stiletto, then consider smoothing it out a little and replacing it with, for example, an almond or pointe shoe. Below we will tell you in more detail and show the manicure options that will become the main ones in the work of nail artists this summer.

If you don’t have enough experience in the nail industry, it’s better to trust a professional. The minimum length of an overgrown nail plate to create this shape is 5 millimeters.
Examples of work with almond-shaped nails
Oval shape
The success of the oval shape is based on the fact that it is as close as possible to the natural shape of the nail, creating the image of an ideal manicure.
Masters of the nail industry classify this form as a basic one, since it is universal and suitable for various nail plates.
The main feature of this manicure is that the shape of the tip of the nail should match the shape of the nail bed.

Fashionable manicure colors for short and long nails
The color palette of current shades this year will be represented by three main trends.
- Fans of natural tones will be inspired by the muted colors of beige and pink: fawn, caramel, cream, pastel pink, peach, champagne. Among the cold shades, you should choose light colors - aquamarine, pale cornflower blue, mint, pastel green. Transparent and translucent varnishes will also be in demand, allowing you to highlight the natural beauty of your nails. Naturalness dictates the very length of the nails - they should be short or protrude by 1-3 mm.
- Bright colors will not be left aside: the colors of nature are inexhaustible, and it is they who will set the tone here. Rich berry and wine shades will look attractive on both short and long nails: amaranth, burgundy, cherry, eggplant, apple green. An evening manicure on the occasion of a special celebration allows for an increase in the protruding part of the nail plate to 5 mm.
- The apotheosis of fashionable new products of 2022 in the world of manicure is metallic. Gel polishes reminiscent of mercury or liquid gold help create a fantastic design that is not limited to the effect of a photo flash, when entire nails are covered with such varnish. It is allowed to cover 1-2 nails on the hand with a continuous layer, and on the rest it is recommended to use such strong colors only for applying decor.
Achromatic colors will not lose their relevance: black and white will look impressive in any combination.
Nude manicure on long nails: 3D design
A fantastic combination of “negative space” exposing the nail plate with miniature nail design elements creates a unique “aquarium” 3D effect. In 2022, this new manicure will gain popularity, despite the complexity of its implementation.
There is no main tone here; gel polish is used only for applying designs to a transparent base, after which the composition is covered with a fixing layer. As a rule, the main part of the nail plate remains visible, and decorative elements are located on the free edge, so 3D design is especially relevant for long nails. This manicure will suitably decorate wedding photos.
In addition to drawings, a professional master can place tiny decorations on the surface of the nail: lace, glitter, rhinestones, shells, grains of sand, dried flowers, pieces of foil. This work is long and painstaking, but the effect is worth it! The main thing here is to observe moderation and not cross the line where beauty ends and vulgarity begins.
Current length and shape of nails
Unlike previous seasons, unnaturally long nails are gradually going out of fashion. Today, short or medium nails are the priority. This has an advantage: they do not interfere with everyday life and at work, the manicure looks natural and does not contradict office etiquette. There is no need to make corrections regularly and be afraid of unnecessary movements in case the nail breaks. On thematic websites you can find many photos of stylish short nails.
Calm color for medium nails
As for form, there are no restrictions this season. Rectangular, oval, round - depends on personal preferences, the shape of the fingers and the nail plate. By the way, the fashion for long pointed nails is a thing of the past. Timely removal of the cuticle visually lengthens the nails and gives a well-groomed appearance to the hands.
Advice! The square shape of nails is not suitable for every girl. If you have naturally short, thick fingers, it is better to choose a different contour. To understand whether a particular shape is suitable, you can make tips from thick paper and apply them to your nails.
