A manicure with a pattern still attracts a huge number of fashionistas. A manicure with a pattern still attracts a huge number of fashionistas. And this is not without reason, because plain nails, although they look beautiful, are still monotonous and quickly get boring. It’s a great happiness to find a master who skillfully handles a brush and is able to fulfill his clients’ fantasies. If you couldn’t find a professional, learn the art of nail art yourself. You don't need too many supplies for this, it is important to remain calm and positive. We offer designs that are not too difficult to implement, so that even a novice craftswoman can handle their creation.
Gel polish design: fashionable new items
The advantages of gel polish coating compared to conventional enamels have long been no secret to anyone. Among the advantages of using this material, I would like to highlight the following advantages:
- preservation of its original appearance for more than 10 days. On average, the interval between corrections is two to three weeks;
- minimal likelihood of chips and scratches appearing at the wrong time;
- variety of shades;
- additional protection of the nail plate due to a durable surface layer;
- manifestation of creativity through the application of various designs.
Multi-colored stains
Fan art
Specks
Among the current colors, the first positions are occupied by natural and pastel tones. Peach, beige, soft pink and milky undertones look feminine and attractive. Mint, lavender, light turquoise, sand and light yellow look no less attractive. Decor in white or black will fit perfectly on each of these bases.
The favorite solution for most romantic natures is floral arrangements. Lovely flowers can be created using watercolor techniques, using stamping, or create a creative composition from many dots.
Butterflies are the second most popular trend. On bright wings you can place rhinestones and bouillons, pebbles or sequins. Such a work of art will attract admiring glances.
Even ordinary polka dots look charming on gel polish. If you plant them on an undried layer, they will blur slightly, creating a kind of 3D effect.

A matte surface is also in fashion, on which geometric shapes, fantastic ornaments and stamping patterns look good.
Advice! Just try not to overdo it, because matte is a self-sufficient coating in itself; you shouldn’t overload it with unnecessary details. Remember: no more than a couple of nails with designs on a general matte background.
You know, even ordinary multi-color stains on gel polish turn out extraordinarily beautiful. This type of pattern is called the marble effect for its great resemblance to rare rocks.
White manicure January – February 2022
Classic shades never go out of style. For winter, blue, blue, gray colors and, of course, white are relevant. White winter manicure is decorated with rhinestones, blue designs with printed foil, multi-colored sand and sparkles. But this manicure has one drawback. White gel polish is the most capricious material for nail design; it often streaks, bubbles and does not lie flat. Therefore, before you buy white gel polish, read the reviews. And if the white gel polish does not lay down evenly, just remove the stickiness and rub your fingers with pearl rub.
Classic French and its variations
French manicure is one of the oldest techniques, and these days it is very popular among beauties. Since all the usual approaches to design are constantly changing, today there are the following types of French:
- classic - everything is traditional here: a white smile line on a transparent basis, or painted over in a halftone close to the natural tone of the nail plate;
- reverse - if in the previous version the white stripe is on top, here it is located at the base, its appearance also resembles a smile;
- lunar - in the root part of the nail the emphasis is placed on the hole. It is left either transparent or highlighted with another paint;
- colored - moons or smiles are drawn in bright shades;
- combined is the most interesting option. You can combine almost everything, even something completely incompatible at first glance: colors, textures and the techniques themselves. A classic with a few lunar fingers? Please, place a design on these nails with holes, the result will be a sight to behold. Combine a multi-colored jacket with a reverse variation, highlighting the base with a dark stripe-edging. There are a lot of options, the main thing is to show your imagination.

And now let's look at the drawings combined with this technique. Monograms look fascinating: white ones create a romantic mood, this is the best solution for decorating nails on the eve of a wedding. And contrasting curls will attract increased interest in its owner.
Compositions with rhinestones, shiny stones and beads look glamorous. The highest aerobatics is considered to be the creation of inlays reminiscent of ancient, breathtaking jewels. Yes, the material for this will cost a pretty penny, but the result is worth it. This beauty is suitable for special occasions. Combine the inlay on one finger and a laconic design on the next one, repeat the same technique on the other hand.
Advice! This seems quite obvious, but we still dare to remind you: it is not necessary to draw compositions on all ten nails, one or two fingers on each hand is enough. This design looks much more harmonious.
The choice of design depends entirely on your imagination and mood. Are you going to the sea? Palm trees, anchors, shells and wonderful sunsets are at your service. Some young mischievous women choose bananas, coconuts, bright flamingos and other tropical beauties.
Romantic natures cannot live without bows, hearts, flowers and other cute compositions. A variety of images can be combined with a French jacket, don’t be afraid to show your imagination.

Manicure January – February 2022 with glitter and rubs
As mentioned above, this winter silver sparkles and pearl rubs are something that every second fashionable manicure cannot do without. Their wild popularity is explained by the fact that any design looks more “expensive” and advantageous when it is given shine and shine. Now a variety of pigments for every color and taste have appeared on sale. For light shades, light pearl rubs are more suitable, and for dark shades, mirror rubs or with the effect of the northern lights. It's even easier with glitter. To save time, it is better to use ready-made gel polishes filled with metal flakes of different shapes and sizes. The main advantage of a manicure with rubbing or glitter is that it is done very quickly and easily, even at home, while saving the client’s time and yours, and the result is very worthy.
Design of short nails
Compositions for short nails are no less charming than for long ones. The only difference is that due to the smaller base area, they themselves should be miniature. This requires great professionalism from the master, who must be able to draw thin and neat lines.
In general, nail art on a small nail plate involves drawing small flowers, twigs and other laconic compositions. When choosing a design option, take a closer look at the negative space technology. Transparent areas against a general colored background look impressive and unusual. It can be stripes, hearts, stars, geometric shapes - in general, everything that your imagination allows for.

No less impressive is a mosaic on a small field of activity. Take a closer look at the fantasy combination of squares, diamonds and triangles, painted in your favorite shades - all kinds of abstraction are incredibly popular. Just don’t forget to make a dark border, so the mosaic becomes clearly visible. It's also worth looking at tartan in red, beige or green.
Advice! Another high-profile trend is all kinds of inscriptions and logos. Choose the names of your favorite brands and brands, short words or well-known symbols. But it’s better not to use a fine mesh at all, it will visually make your nails even smaller. Or draw large cells.
Fashion trends this season
The main fashion trend of the coming season is the absence of frills in manicure. Everything is good in moderation, this is definitely something to remember this year. The most chic thing is when the author's drawing or other decoration is done on only a few fingers.
At the same time, experts from the fashion world advise not to remain in the shadows and boldly experiment with new looks, especially in manicure. It’s worth trying bright and unusual shades, playing with shapes and textures in the design, and of course, not being afraid to make unusual and eye-catching designs.
As for the style of trendy paintings in 2022, they can be very diverse. Any silhouette or linear graphic images are especially welcome. Silhouettes of people, animals, small outlines of famous objects will be popular: feminine beauty tools, cars, shoes, household utensils and other things.
Geometric shapes and lines will be held in high esteem. Absolutely any geometry will be appropriate on the fingers of both very young girls and older women. It is geometric themes that are the most universal decoration for handles; such a manicure looks appropriate in almost any situation. Experimenting with the shapes and colors of geometric patterns will allow you to create the most original ideas.
Another basic trend for 2022 is true femininity and unobtrusive elegance in appearance. That is why a variety of floral feminine themes will be welcomed: flowers, floral patterns, colorful or pastel abstraction, stains, monograms, curls, lace, etc. Large flowers painted in a slightly blurry watercolor manner and made in very delicate and light colors will look especially impressive.
Animal prints of various shapes and colors are also coming back into fashion.

All kinds of animals will look stylish on your nails.

Design on white background
White is a traditional wedding shade. It is logical that on the eve of the celebration, brides are in search of the perfect snow-white design to match the tone of the dress. Most often, wedding nail art is a French style, discussed in the previous section, with various monograms, flowers and other ornate designs.

- red and white;

Floral motifs are usually drawn in pink: roses, peonies and other delights. Blue and cyan can not only depict something from a floral and plant theme, but also beautiful sea waves, making any fantasies come true. Red and white are a fantastic, rich and self-sufficient combination. It can only be supplemented with a laconic inlay of stones. The effect is fantastic.
Advice! If none of the proposed options appeal to you, take a closer look at the minimalist images on white canvas. Thematic pictures, subtle strokes and blots look extraordinary and fascinating. You can find an example for implementation on the Internet. A thin brush made of a natural material called “hair” is best suited for the creative process. Craftsmen praise it for its ease of use and accuracy when drawing straight lines.

Nail art on black background
It’s stupid to consider black manicure something boring and monotonous. On the contrary, this deep color is truly delightful. It combines with all other shades, is used when applying creative images, and matches almost any clothing. True, charcoal black is not the best solution for office and business style; it is not suitable for official meetings either. However, when combined with the right clothing, it often proves appropriate. It reveals itself best in autumn and winter; in summer it is better to give preference to brighter solutions.
Advice! If the nail plates are widened, choose a different base shade. The fact is that black focuses attention on the imperfect shape of the nails. Visually, the effect of a sloppy manicure will be created, and the nail itself will visually become smaller.
Ask the master to dream up on your nails on the theme of the cosmic universe. Interspersed with blue with whitish glimpses will act as nebulae, and golden strokes, like stars, will dilute the bottomless darkness.

In general, light curls of fancy shapes, contrasting stamping patterns and all kinds of flowers look beautiful against a dark background. Red poppies, royal roses, orchids, sakura – on a deep black base, their bright colors will reveal themselves with renewed vigor.
Artistic painting
An excellent way to express your bright individuality can be a full-fledged artistic painting on your nails. After all, if there is a real painting on your finger, it attracts attention and awakens the desire to take a closer look at the manicure.
Just like any complex decorative element, artistic painting requires individuality, that is, it needs to be present on only one, or maximum two, nails. It is possible to cover each finger with artistic painting only if the painting is simple in subject and done in pastel colors that are as close to each other as possible.
In the new year, thematic artistic paintings tied to seasonal features will be held in high esteem:
- In summer, a good solution might be to create landscapes of the beach, palm trees, sea or images of tropical cocktails;
- in the fall, an artistic painting with leaves or a golden landscape will look stylish;
- in winter you can depict snowmen, snowflakes, a winter landscape in appropriate colors, various New Year's attributes such as a Christmas tree, balls, needles, Santa Claus, etc.;
- Spring is a great time for delicate painting with floral motifs.
Abstract motifs are another amazing idea for artistic painting, because such a drawing will always be relevant and will not raise unnecessary questions. In addition, abstraction will make the image modern and even a little daring, adding zest to it.
Pink design
Pink is considered a girlish, beautiful and clean shade, and is also the most commonly used color for the spring and summer season. Clear pink goes well with many styles and suits any setting. Calm colors support the all-consuming trend towards naturalness, so we advise you to take a closer look at its mesmerizing tints.

Stripes
Not only elegant paintings, but also simple drawings are combined with pinkish. For summer, girls are asked to draw ice cream, fruits, cartoon characters and bright birds, hearts, balloons and emotional smiles. Listen to your state of mind, your heart will definitely tell you which composition to choose this time.
Advice! Although Chinese painting is gradually fading away, the airy, smoky inflorescences look excellent. Take a closer look at this solution if you want to emphasize your charm and spiritual mood.
Gray winter design
Gray shades of gel polishes became popular last year and, it seems, are not going to go out of fashion. They are a wonderful alternative to black and are very versatile. Gray color goes well with almost any shade. Based on gray varnish, you can create a variety of winter designs: with snowflakes, monograms, minimalist designs, foil, broken glass and other accessories.
