This season's manicure fashion boasts a diverse nail industry, which regularly throws up super-innovative materials and ideas to work with. In addition to the hitherto known stickers, bouillons, rhinestones and adhesive tapes, this season designs using rubs, foil, powder and “yuca flakes” .
Rubbing
Polymer powder has performed well this season. Remains fashionable this year too . Manicure designers believe that in the spring-summer season, rubbing will be considered a favorite. The range of powders is very large, so the decor options are endless. By rubbing you can create any effect - from simple polished to mirror-like, reminiscent of the texture of metal, mother-of-pearl or shimmering pearls.
Bright design created using rubbing
Rubbed with holography creates an amazing play of light. If you add to all this a wide selection of colors, then anyone will understand that this material is unique. It can be applied to all fingers or accent ones. In both versions it will look super fashionable and beautiful . If desired, you can rub it not on the entire nail plate, but on individual sections, strips, or make smooth transitions like amber.

Foil
Also a variety of material to work with, and no less than the previous one. With its help, you can lay out any geometric shapes on the nail plates or completely cover your finger. Any type of transfer foil (creates abstract spots) or sheet foil (laid out at the discretion of the master) is useful in the work. The end result in any case will be stunningly beautiful and stylish. Silver and gold foil will be at the height of fashion . It is easy to combine with other shades of varnish. Foil will add luxury and charm to even the simplest design.
Great option for winter holidays
Kamifubuki, powder and rhinestones
All of the listed materials are designed to add a certain touch of color, unusualness and fabulousness to the manicure design.
- Kamifubuki are small sized confetti. Despite the simplicity of the ideas, they can turn any manicure into a masterpiece. Sold in a wide range of different colors and shades. This season you should pay attention to bright colors. They look good on accent nails in the form of an ornament, on a certain section of the plate, or in a non-ombre version, where the area at the base is densely strewn, and the edge of the nail plate gradually fades away.
Manicure in dark colors
- Rhinestones. They have been considered manicure classics for many years. In 2022 they also found their place. They can be used in the form of individual droplets on the nail, on geometric patterns. Look great in combination with floral motifs, openwork curls and patterns.
Stars are still relevant and fashionable
- Powder. Material tested by experience and time. With its help, you can give accent fingers texture and velvety. Powder is also used to create original patterns or 3D ornaments.
Manicure in soft colors
Yuca flakes and glitters
Both materials confirm that in summer and spring there cannot be too much sparkle and light.
- Glitters. Small multi-colored or plain sparkles. With their help, you can add festiveness to any manicure and give the design volume. Both in spring and summer they can be used in any idea, for example, to emphasize the smile of a classic French jacket or to draw part of a complex ornament with them in a lunar one. This season, it is important to use glitter to decorate the geometry of your nails or use them as a separate element in the design.
Using glitter you can easily add shine to your manicure.
- "Yuki flakes." Refers to interesting trend material. Recently, it has been gaining popularity and interest among both experienced designers and lovers of wearing a fashionable manicure of their own making. In appearance, the material is a bit like rubbing and has a pronounced chameleon effect. In natural light it shimmers in several shades. Yuca flakes look equally good on accent fingers, in certain areas and on the entire nail.
Yuki flakes look stylish and extravagant
Broken glass
Since the effect of broken glass in manicure was loved by many last season, it is natural that it has migrated to the current season. Suitable for absolutely everyone - age and style do not play a role here at all. The material is very easy to work with. To create it, it is enough to buy special foil or cellophane with a holographic texture. Cut it into pieces and place it on your finger as you wish. Cover the top with a layer of clear varnish. The light flux hitting the nail will be refracted, thereby creating the most bizarre variations of the play of light, reminiscent of the reflections of precious stones.
The material can be matched to the base or contrast with it. In both options, the result will be simply magnificent.
Experiment with “broken glass” at your discretion
Floral ornaments in delicate spring manicure 2022
Floral designs on pastel shades of nail polish look perfect. The advantage of a delicate floral manicure is that it suits absolutely any woman in the summer season. There are a lot of options offered by professional nail art masters and they are all incomparable. If you need to emphasize your image with lightness, subtlety, unobtrusiveness, and softness, then be sure to choose a delicate manicure with floral motifs. All techniques for creating original and unique flowers on nails, used by specialists in the field of nail design, quite successfully emphasize femininity, be it a simple drawing of a bud or large-scale flower sculpting. The most delicate combination of colors on the nails and a base light coating allows you to make the image more feminine and fragile.
French and moon manicure
Both design options are popular, and deservedly so, with any woman or girl. They look great on nails in any color. Lunar and French manicures are suitable as hand decorations for any occasion in life . The fashion trend in 2022 is natural colors, as well as: lilac, light blue, pink, beige, mint, caramel. The thickness of the smile line at the tip of the nail for a French manicure and the width of the hole for a moon manicure should correspond to and depend on the length of the nail. The smaller it is, the more elegant they should look. If you make it too wide, the appearance of the manicure will look rough, visually making a short nail even shorter.
Classic always remains in fashion

Thermolac
A new product that many girls love. This is a varnish that flows from one tone to another on its own; there is no need to use and combine two different tones. The coating changes color depending on the cooling temperature. The tip of the nail can be very different from the rest because it cools faster. During the day you can observe an amazing change of shades.

Necessary accessories for manicure
The execution technology consists of the following steps:
- First you need to get your hands and nails in order. To do this, you need to use a bath with essential oil, honey or chamomile tincture. The bath should be warm, you need to hold your hands in it for about 15 minutes. Then wipe them with a soft towel and lubricate them with nourishing cream.
Before a manicure, you should steam your hands well.
- Having chosen the shape of the nail plate, we use a nail file to shape it into reality.
- We remove the cuticle with hangnails carefully and carefully so as not to injure the skin of the fingers. If the cuticle is not softened enough, treat it with a special product, applying it to the cuticle for 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the cuticle
- After removing the cuticle and hangnails, treat the nail again with a nail file.
- Apply the first layer of varnish. Once it's dry and the shellac is drying in the dryer, apply a second coat.
Cover your nails with several layers of polish
It is not recommended to apply 3 or more layers. Each layer must be dried well. Apply the varnish slowly with short movements.
- The last step is to lubricate the nail with nourishing cream or oil. This should also be done to moisturize the skin of your hands.
Bold decisions are the use of rich reds and dark blues, but it's worth it. With the help of rhinestones and sparkles, you can add solemnity to your manicure. Fashion critics believe that this season it is worth giving preference to all shades of pastel; they will balance the image, give it unobtrusiveness and naturalness. But this is a matter of taste, any girl has the right to decide what manicure she should wear.
