Manicure with stripes (60+ photos) – Fashionable striped flight

A stylish and original way to combine creativity and classics is a manicure with stripes. On the one hand, such nail art looks non-trivial, attracting attention to its owner. On the other hand, a geometric pattern is appropriate in any situation, from the office to a formal reception.

It's just a matter of figuring out which patterns are trending and which palettes are relevant this season.

A couple of unusual ideas for creative people

All ladies want to choose a nail art that no one they know has ever seen. Fortunately, 2021 is rich in unusual, non-trivial trends that can be brought to life both in the salon and at home, on your own.

The simplest option, which can be done even at home, is to decorate it with one or two contrasting lines. But when you want something more interesting and complex, you can’t do without photo inspiration from fashionistas from all over the world.

So what's trending this year?

Firstly, horizontal or vertical goes well with an interesting pattern.

For example, in the summer it will be important to complement the geometry with a realistic image of a tropical bud or palm leaf. And in winter, you can find space on one finger for both a glitter ornament and a small snowflake or snowman.

What else can you combine a fashionable pattern with?

• Marbled - Draw lines of varying widths directly on top of the marble.
• With monograms that form abstract patterns or schematic buds.
• With volumetric acrylic stucco molding, made in a single palette.

Sometimes the presence of several ornaments and decor at the same time can make the entire art look cluttered and overloaded.

Therefore, it is important to choose the right shades of varnish - neutral ones are best.

Brightness sets the mood

With the onset of summer and autumn, women's appearance becomes more colorful: not only the style of clothing changes, but also the requirements for the details of their image.

Therefore, most often it is impossible to do without knowledge of coloristics. After all, combined designs created from several interesting tones not only look good, but also perfectly complement any set of clothes.

Luckily, there are a lot of different colors on trend for 2022:

• hot red, like chili pepper;
• sandy brown;
• rich, royal green with hints of turquoise;
• nude peach and beige;
• candy pink.

To show everyone around you your sense of beauty, you can simply choose any of the proposed gels.

But it will be really relevant with a border of the same color, but a couple of tones more saturated. So, the pattern will look appropriate and not vulgar. A win-win feature is basic, pastel colors and a bright accent on one hand. This season, absolutely all fashionable palettes can be mixed with white, brown, black or beige.

Combine with yellow, white and black

Many girls are afraid to do colorblock because it is difficult to combine with clothes and accessories.

Now, on the contrary, mixing styles is in fashion. So geometry, and such a noticeable one at that, can be worn both with a plain office suit and with a romantic lace dress.

Transparent base takes center stage

Every season brings some new trends and ideas. In 2021, nail bloggers offer clients creative designs: transparent stripes complemented with any varnish.

What is the secret of stylish and well-groomed fingers?

First, the usual strengthening and leveling base is applied to the plate. On top is a coating. But the painted layer does not completely cover the nail: not the entire surface is covered with gel. A transparent layer peeks out from under the varnish. Many fashionistas quickly realized that these parts can be of any shape, including in the form of horizontal or vertical stripes.

And then the design became more and more interesting:

• transparent areas are decorated with rhinestones;
• any patterns are drawn on top;
• A layer of shimmering pollen is applied over the coloring.

Creativity and originality are in fashion. Stylists and bloggers recommend combining anything with anything.

Therefore, you can experiment: use only a transparent base as a base, and make the stripes themselves multi-colored.

Selecting strips according to the shape and length of the nails

Depending on the desired design, different decorative materials may be needed:

1. gel paint for drawing lines or sticker,
2. web gel,
3. ribbons,
4. sparkles/glitter,
5. foil,
6. rhinestones and a little creativity.

Elastic strips

• For example, foil strips can add beauty to the simplest black manicure.
• But the thin white lines of the “cobweb” will beautifully decorate a jacket of any length.
• The strips are used fragmentarily to highlight several marigolds.
• Light and shiny vertical stripes of medium width will help to visually increase the length that is too short.
• If the nails are large and short, then wide dark stripes or several light, but thin ones.
• Also, the bright striped print does a great job of drawing attention to the hands.

Slider design

Geometry is always in fashion

Many women remember with a smile the fashion of the past, when an abundance of bright, flashy details spoke of excellent taste and sense of style. Today, sloppiness is no longer relevant. When a plate is decorated with only one feature, it always looks stylish and laconic.

But nail artists offer girls fashionable ornaments with different figures:

• The lines should not be parallel to each other. It is allowed to place them at an angle and in general in any non-standard way, forming triangles, squares, circles or other shapes.

• Almost imperceptible lines can form an angular but attractive pattern. An important warning that fashionistas should heed is to choose the right colors. Traditional origami is made from white paper, so here too, dark and light are organically combined.

• Kant does not necessarily have to be continuous. An effective and unusual technique is to draw a pattern using dots.

• Want more decor? Why not? You just need to complement it with various decorative decorations - sparkles, shimmering cones.

In 2022, there are no clear rules for nail art. Geometry can become either the leitmotif of the entire manicure or just one of the elements on the nails.

Laconic and sophisticated minimalism

Why does everyone love minimalism so much?

It goes with any outfit and is easy and simple to do. However, lovers of this trend do not have many ways to show their imagination - polka dots, dots and, of course, dashes. Using the latter, you can make thousands of options for simple and concise drawings with an emphasis on one element.

The most creative ideas:

• Ombre - Each bottom line is slightly darker or lighter than the one above it.
• A combination of circles, triangles and confetti.

Kamifubuki - this is the correct name for this shiny paper - is better to match one to one either with the decor or with the base coating. This way you can maintain a minimalist style.

• Combination with various figures. The optimal solution is to use two or three colors in one palette, so that the resulting design is simple and elegant.

Game of colors

The fashionable coloring method is already known not only to hairdressers and colorists, but also to manicurists.

The color gradually changes its shade:

• Saturation decreases or increases (for example, from red to pale pink).
• One tone gradually turns into another (for example, green gradually turns into purple).

Stripe lovers are in luck - a spectacular design can be achieved using familiar and simple lines. The ombre can be positioned in any way: it is usually directed from top to bottom, diagonally or horizontally.

The trend is precisely the horizontal color transition.

Millions of fashionistas have already appreciated the beauty of alternating ombre: the first is directed from left to right, the second from right to left. If you use muted shades, pastel beige, you will get an excellent everyday option that is appropriate even in the office.

Romantic striped design

For sophisticated people, a manicure in soft pink tones with silver or gold stripes is suitable.

New materials are being used

Metal foil decor appeared on nails only a couple of months ago. But he has already won the love of girls.

There are several reasons for this:

• They look unusual, but are still not so common.
• They open up space for creativity, because there are no specific rules for how geometric elements should be positioned.
• They are easy to create - even a non-professional who just learned how to use a nail file yesterday can do it.

If the choice fell on the foil edging, then let it be thin. Bulky, wide ribbons will no longer create that feminine and graceful nail art.

Most often, metallic paper is supplemented with either cartoons (they frame the ribbon and add extra shine) or shimmering powder. The material looks equally good with both light pastels and bright ones.

However, in the latter case, shades that are the same in temperature are best combined. For example, bloggers suggest mixing yellow, orange, and red with gold foil, and blue, blue, gray or blue-green with silver foil.

How to do a manicure with stripes at home

Girls are used to leading an active lifestyle. Practical clothes, comfortable shoes, all this is complemented by a simple striped manicure. Not tricky, but stylish.

1. We correct the shape of the nails using a nail file.
2. Use a metal pusher to remove the epidermis from the nail plate.
3. Using an orange stick, carefully push back the cuticle.
4. Then we cut it off with nail scissors.
5. Then we apply the coating and draw stripes with acrylic, or glue stickers and secure with a layer of varnish or gel.
6. We dry our creation in an ultraviolet lamp.

Stripes can be made from rhinestones, sparkles, and holographic rubbing. All this will lead to the fact that you can create a truly masterpiece image on your nails.

To use stickers, nail technicians recommend running a special buff over your nails to create roughness. Then the decor itself should be glued from the most convex point of the nail plate, while slightly stretching the tape. Such simple actions will lead to the fact that the sticker will fit perfectly, without flaws.

Learning to combine shades

The use of multi-colored stripes is a hit of the past summer. After all, such nail art always looks bright, playful and fun. Imperceptibly, the trend migrated into autumn and winter fashion.

Here are some recommendations on what design to make to accurately match the fashion:

• In order not to overload your nails, it is better to draw an ornament on one or two fingers, and leave the rest with one gel.
• It is allowed to use several paints, but they must be in the same color scheme.
• The thinner the brush, the brighter the polymer gel you can use.

The combination of dashes and plain plates looks organic. It is desirable that the coating repeats one of the colors used to draw the lines.

Craftsmen are already offering warm gels reminiscent of falling leaves, or snow-white combinations that create a Christmas atmosphere. But if you want to realize your ideas, you can draw edging on a universal black or white background.

Interesting nails with colorful stripes

If you want to add some sunny colors to your manicure, don’t limit yourself to a yellow or light green finish. Add colorful, rainbow-like stripes. You can do this carefully on the side or in the center with thin neon lines. Wide gradient stripes of different colors across the entire surface are no less beautiful and fun.

Scales and sand

What beauty doesn’t dream of one day always looking both beautiful and appropriate?

That's why many people choose glitter. Any option with it can be safely considered successful and universal.

This manicure is suitable for work, for school, and for walking with friends. And if there is a celebration or an evening date coming up, then it is also not at all necessary to run to the master and redo everything.

To make a glitter edging, you can use all types of this material:

• kamifubuki;
• sand;
• sequins;
• scales

The material looks good both on short lengths and on graceful elongated nails.

This is what the best ideas for any occasion look like:

• Delicate pink, beige, gray glitter is applied in the form of an even vertical line on the ring finger. On the right and left, the master can apply another thin contrasting line to differentiate the background and sparkles.

• The ring and little fingers are covered with several zigzags, which divide the entire surface into two or three parts. Each free part can be painted over with a polymer coating.

• An abstract image is drawn with glitter on the plate using a thin brush. Each part is painted with a different coating.

Gold or silver is combined with warm or cold varnishes.
The glitter will be strange and out of place if not combined with other shades. If the sparkles are colored, then you can combine them with other tones from the palette.

Stylish nails with an animalistic stripe

Leopard, zebra, tiger, python and even a cow. This whole zoo in the form of animal prints can be decorated with a stripe on the nail. So if you like this pattern, then it goes stylishly with red, beige, brown, and white coating.
