Modern trends in nail art are actively popularizing the metallic shade of varnish in all its manifestations. On the catwalks, fashionistas flaunt mirrored nails, combining them with equally spectacular iridescent trousers and dresses. Nail design masters have picked up the idea of a shiny manicure and are offering fashionistas the most unusual options using silver polish.
The silver shade is moderately effective, intelligent, not boring and noticeable. By complementing a monochromatic design with mirror-colored stripes, you will turn it into a stylish and unique nail art.
Combination rules
Neil masters know that monochrome is best diluted. Any solid color can become the base color. If you add some jewelry and accessories to it, you can create an extraordinary look.
Silver goes ideally with black, ruby, blue, turquoise, purple, olive, pink, and red.
If you cover one or two fingers with it, decorating it with rhinestones, drawings, and confetti, you will get an unusual design that will not leave anyone indifferent.
Every girl should know that silver nails must be framed with rings, bracelets, earrings, and necklaces to match.
Gold jewelry is not suitable for this nail design. A New Year's manicure with silver and the right outfit will make your look truly fabulous and magical, as befits this holiday.
Evening manicure
If combinations of silver and white with simple patterns and simple lines are suitable for an ordinary look, then festive nail art is all about elegance. Excessive decor is dangerous because it can make the image ridiculous.
For special occasions, a mirror surface created using thermal film glued to the nail is suitable. The exquisite gloss created with this film is mesmerizing.
The silver base with rhinestones looks elegant. The crystals are placed on a hole in a jacket or accent fingers.
Marble design is very elegant, but its creation requires care and painstaking care. The intricacy of black and white looks great on metallics.
Lunar manicure with a matte finish (for example, black) and silver is ideal for special occasions.
Monograms - graceful curls can be easily made by yourself using glitter. They are transferred from a special stencil to the painted nail.
Patterns and drawings can be applied using different techniques. Silver is used to complement floral or animal designs, geometric patterns, and inscriptions.
Two-tone manicure: The nail plate is divided into two halves of different colors or textures. The glossy or matte element is complemented with shine.
Nail art with voluminous designs is in fashion. The combination of a shiny background and a matte design is eye-catching. The pattern does not have to be repeated on every finger.
Smooth mirror on nails
Remember, there was a moment when almost every girl “tried on” mirror silver and posted this beauty on various resources? Moreover, it was not glitter with foil, or even varnish with chrome.
The metallic gloss on the handles was created using fine silver powder.
To obtain a unique image, you just need to rub “silver dust” into the substrate, previously applied to the plate.
To make your nails look perfect, you must first apply a thick base that perfectly evens out all the unevenness.
If you skip this step, then in the end even the most beautifully shaped nails will look untidy. The fact is that silver “sticks out” all the shortcomings.
It is also important to know that this rub looks best on a black/dark base.

Silver manicure: photo ideas for a brilliant design
Silver color is a new product in the nail industry. This unusual shade was previously very rarely used to create even a formal manicure. This season, designers have appreciated the metallic shade, which began to appear in both festive and everyday designs.
Silver manicure has many advantages:
- spectacular look – shiny nails will become a prominent decoration of your look. They, like precious stones, will give the design a refined and noble look. On the other hand, silver is a shade that can hardly be called daring and flashy.
- versatility - the silver shade is loyal to most things in a modern fashionable wardrobe. The design with silver decor will fit perfectly into business, youth, denim, and romantic styles. Glittery nails look especially appropriate in boho and grunge style outfits.
- adaptability - silver glitter can be applied to both long and short nails. They will look stylish and original on any nail shape.
Silver coating is a traditional choice for creating festive nail art, for example, for New Year's Eve, wedding, dinner in a restaurant, birthday. In addition, sparkles and metallic patterns can be successfully used in everyday designs. Nails with silver designs will enhance the effect of rings and bracelets on your hands.
Sparkles
Nail plates with silver glitter on them look very elegant. Twinkling stars showering the nail will create the illusion of the night sky. This beauty is then covered with a sticky top.
Afterwards you need to remove the excess with a special fan brush. Protruding areas are cleaned with nail files. For a glossy effect, the nail must be coated with topcoat.
Hologram
Girls fell in love with marigolds with iridescent particles. The prism looks great. The result is achieved using a specially ground color composite. It covers any substrate perfectly.
Rubs onto a non-sticky layer. A photo of a silver manicure made using this technique proves that it looks great.

Mirror manicure
Mirror manicure has its own separate technique. It has a beautiful, metallic silver color, which made it an appropriate option to mention it in this article.
With this solid silver finish, you can create a minimalist and very strong manicure.
Rhinestone inlay
Decorating with shiny stones makes a manicure not just beautiful, but chic. The shimmer in the sun is mesmerizing.
Transparent stones look expensive on silver. Rhinestones are placed on special glue. Use an eyebrow pencil or dots.
Foiling
First, a color base is applied. A silver metal sheet is then placed over it. It must be pressed, then sharply torn off.
This approach allows you to create an unusual pattern on the surface of the plate.
Today there are a huge number of variations of films for nail art, you can choose the one you need.

Inserts
The main feature of this design is monotony. Inserts are the basis for nail decoration.
Gray tone can be used to cover decorative elements: stripes, holes, “smiles”, figures, symbols, etc.
So, for example, an academic French manicure is diluted with shiny holes/"smiles" on the nail that will be the main accent of the decor.
Something unusual
Today there are no restrictions in choosing colors in the nail industry.
The most contrasting and memorable is the black and silver manicure. Proper nail design can create an incredibly impressive manicure.
New Year's silver manicure
If on an ordinary day a manicure should be discreet, then on a holiday you can make it unusual and bright.
If your nails are short, then a French nail polish is suitable; instead of designs, it is better to use mirror powder.
If they are longer, the choice is huge: manicure with silver varnish, New Year-themed patterns, designs and prints (snowflakes, Christmas trees, the oriental symbol of the New Year), rhinestones and imitation confetti.
Trend 2022 – knitted nail design with original patterns, they can be found on knitted sweaters, colors white with blue or red, interspersed with sparkles imitating sparkling snow.
Hit of the season 2022
Today, the black and silver duo is more popular than ever. Moreover, black can be used in a variety of shades.
On long nails, a design made in the form of:
- strips of silver;
- two accent fingers;
- with rhinestones, broths;
- gradient;
- holes/smiles.
Design of several nails with silver polish
As a rule, this type of design is popular among adherents of a nude finish. Silver color goes well with many shades. The most relevant for this season are:
- Black and silver. In this way it is possible to create contrast. Often one of the most favorite ways to design girls with a confident character.
- Purple (and all shades) and silver. However, when choosing this combination, designers do not recommend overly decorating your nails.
- All shades of blue + silver. This way you can create the perfect work manicure: not flashy, beautiful, neat.
- Gray and silver. This combination is often used for manicure with holes.
- Olive and silver. It looks noble, non-standard.
There is another interesting idea! We recommend using the listed shades, securing them with a matte topcoat. In this way, nails are given unsurpassed elegance.
Silver design elements
Silver color is often used to decorate nails. They are used to draw lines, geometric patterns, and sometimes add shine to the outline of the design.
Art - French
By using silver varnish in an unusual way, you can find a place for it in a jacket. You will make the usual coating more noble, with a touch of playfulness.
Foil as a design tool
Nail designs that use foil look playful. As a rule, fans of this manicure are young girls. It is best to use this design method on 1-2 nails of one hand, otherwise it will look vulgar and flashy.
Rubbing
Its use is widespread in nail designs, the leading colors of which are red, black, and dark purple. However, silver is also not inferior in position. The rub is used on several (up to 3) nails of one hand. Often it is an element of festive nail design.
Shiny rhinestones
This is one of the most expensive types of design, especially when it comes to Swarovski. One nail of each hand is decorated with rhinestones. Thus, manicure becomes suitable for any situation: both at a feast and in the world.
Broths
They can decorate several nails at once. We advise you to create a design based on contrast. For example, silver-colored broths are best used on nails coated with blue, dark purple, brown, olive, and dark pink.
Prism
Favorite design of young girls! Many people like the holographic effect. However, it takes more time than usual to create such a coating. The sparkling iridescence is achieved through a special finely ground pigment, which is rubbed into the top. By the way, you can decorate absolutely all your nails with this design: it will look luxurious!
Short nails
It's a little more difficult to experiment with shorter records. However, masters even create original nail variations even with short ones.
So, for example, if you “conjure” silver glitter on the black nails of your ring fingers, you can create something that will not leave anyone indifferent.
But this result can be achieved provided that all the others are painted with a single-color varnish.
Stretch marks also look excellent on short nails, as do vertical stripes or chaotic inclusions.
Geometric design
The 2019-2020 season continues to support the trend of geometric design. You can create patterns with a clear shape and contour using silver varnish and a thin brush or metallized tape.
Geometry looks impressive with a matte backing and a combination of several tones - gray, white, pink. And the lines with silver glitter add lightness to the manicure.
Geometry on nails - the best ideas for improvisation
Add gold to silver
You can get chic nails if you apply “spots” of gold and silver foil to the plain base of two fingers.
This combination looks perfect on a black, red, white background. This same duet is magnificent in the form of various patterns, geometry, patterns, stars, etc.
A gold and silver manicure is a kind of chic that can fill even the most primitive art with charm and sophistication.
Matte and silver
Matte, velvet finish combined with silver is one of the most popular combinations. Matte texture and shimmering silver glitter are the perfect combination for those girls who like to be on top of everything, always.
One of the most fashionable options is to highlight one finger with silver. And by the way, you don’t have to paint the rest the same color. Because the trend is to highlight nails in different color shades. Of course, they must match each other, otherwise such a manicure will look tacky.
Color combinations
The silver palette goes well with different colors: black, red, white, blue, pink.
The main condition when creating a design with silver is not to overdo it. This color, alluring with its tints, should not overload the hands. It looks great as an addition to some tone on one or two fingers.
Or you can apply silver to all nails, only in small quantities.
A manicure with silver and rhinestones can add a touch of chic to your look. Fingers framed with stones attract the eye.
Again, it is important that there should be enough colors and rhinestones so that there is no overload.
Approach the design with a sense of proportion, otherwise you can ruin a beautiful idea, which from chic will easily “grow” into banal vulgarity.
Remember, there is a very thin line between these two boundaries that should not be crossed.
French manicure with silver
Even if we resort to such a bright element as silver sparkles or foil, we cannot escape the classic French jacket. Large sparkles along the nail line look like real lights.
Coating with finely textured silver will give the image softness and calmness. We also remember about the version of French with metal rubbing.
But if you want a bold and explosive design, try a silver jacket, for example, on a red background. Bright colors go well with metallic shades, sparkles or rhinestones.
