Fashionable manicure with inscriptions: design features
There are no restrictions on the choice of base color of the coating.
This largely depends on what occasion you are planning to do your manicure for. For example, for work or school it is better to choose neutral tones. It can be beige, gray, brown or milky. They look good with any outfit and don't stand out too much. To attend a party or special event, you can safely choose brighter shades. After all, the main thing is that they go well with the color of the dress.
In the spring-summer season, bright colors are especially appropriate. They are ideal for vacation and nautical designs. In the autumn-winter period, dark and muted tones are more popular.
As for additional decor, it is welcome in manicures with inscriptions. Various foil elements are often used as a background for text. If you wish, you can decorate your manicure with rhinestones. But remember, it must be harmonious.
Matte pink manicure with water sticker
The following design is perhaps one of the most popular options for designing nails using decor in the form of inscriptions. 2022 is rich in interesting matte designs. Here's one of them.
Step 1 – For this lettering nail design, I chose a beautiful combination of pink gel polish and silver. I covered the tips with two layers of a rich shade of gel polish. This color is new from the InGarden X-GEl spring-summer collection.
Step 2 – Next, I took silver foil, cut out a piece, degreased it on the back side and made several prints.
Step 3 – Covered the design with a matte topcoat as no leveling is required.
Advice for Beginners
If your nails are not even, then before applying the matte finish coat, cover it with a thick glossy top coat, turn it over for 30 seconds, then return it to its original position and dry.
Step 4 – Then I moved on to creating a trendy manicure for 2022 with inscriptions. I took water stickers, chose a beautiful motivational phrase, cut it out, put it on a wet sponge, moved the sticker and glued it to the top.
Step 5 – Cover the design with the same matte topcoat.
This is the beautiful and positive manicure design I came up with with a motivational inscription. Beige and nude shades are also trending. This design is combined with rubs, sparkles, cobwebs and kamifubuki. Try to combine all the new nail decorations with each other, and you will get fresh, original designs. If you have long nails, make a classic light jacket and complement it with decor in the form of a small colored inscription. You can also fit stickers into geometric designs. In winter, a dark and red manicure with metallic stickers, which can be combined with thematic designs, will be popular.
There is also an in-house lesson on how to apply stickers on your nails.

What nail design with an inscription is trending now?
The fashion for words in manicure dates back to the times when it was important to wear the names and logos of famous brands on clothes. Therefore, a crowd of fashionistas rushed to buy everything that was written about the catwalk manufacturers. And then we realized that the same thing can be done with nails. Today this is no longer relevant. But the girls loved the design so much that manicurists figured out how to adapt this design to modern realities.
When designing in Russian, it is very fashionable to use obscene expressions. They are often presented in disguise. It is also very fashionable to place motivational phrases on your nails. They can be from movies or TV shows. For example: “happiness is within”, “don’t expect a miracle, behave well.”
This is a great way to help yourself maintain a good mood or break a bad habit. You can write funny motivational phrases on your nails, such as “don't whine”, “stop eating”. This is a kind of note, a daily reminder to stay on track. Of course, the sticker will not help you lose weight, but nevertheless you can support yourself in this way.
Lettering in English on nails looks very romantic. This option can also be a good solution for a wedding. The correct selection of the main color in the manicure will give the manicure even more laconicism.
The following colors are relevant as a background for love messages:
- lactic;
- light pink;
- blue;
- red;
- shades of berries.
Manicure with an inscription on nails of different lengths
Manicure with an inscription on short nails
For a short length, it is important not to overload the manicure with such a design. The inscription must be legible. To do this, it is better to give preference to a monochromatic manicure or a background color over calm tones. If your soul requires brightness, add contrasting colors. Yellow, black, red look good. But if there is no goal to hide what is written, it is best to leave a neutral color for the background.
Manicure with an inscription on long nails
In 2022, not too long oval and almond-shaped nails are in fashion. Such nails look impressive, and if you add a design in the form of an inscription, you will get an interesting and memorable manicure.
Manicure with letters for long nails
On long nails, on the contrary, it is important to prevent the manicure from looking boring. You can make only inscriptions as a design if the message is really important to you.
Often, on long nails, inscriptions are used in tandem with other designs and contrasting colors.
What designs can be combined with phrases on nails:
- geometry;
- abstraction;
- classic French;
- colored French;
- creative French;
- glitter;
- stripes;
- other stickers.
The inscriptions look best on pointed shapes: almond and oval. Whereas on a long square, the inscriptions add unnecessary clarity, visually making the nail plate wider and more massive. For those with a square shape, we recommend using inscriptions on medium and short lengths.
Various inscription options
Inscriptions on nails in English
Using a foreign language, you can hide the meaning of a sentence on your manicure. After all, the dress code does not always allow sincere statements to be worn on the nails. This is especially true for inscriptions that contain obscenities in content. This softens the direct effect and rough sound a bit.
You can use famous sayings or popular meme phrases from the Internet.
Manicure with inscriptions in Russian
When choosing such a design, you should be prepared for the emotions and questions of colleagues and loved ones. This is a rather fashionable trend that allows us to move away from English words in everyday life.
If you want to avoid drawing too much attention to yourself, place the stickers on a background adjacent to the main background of the manicure, or on a glossy finish.
Manicure with funny inscriptions
On sale you can find sliders with the most unexpected phrases and inscriptions. One gets the feeling that slider manufacturers are competing in ingenuity and offering girls to decorate their nails with funny inscriptions.
Not all girls are ready to do manicures with funny inscriptions. This design clearly looks extraordinary and unusual. But if you are ready to be the subject of a lot of attention, then do funny inscriptions on your nails without fear.
Inscriptions, slogans and phrases are again at the peak of popularity. They decorate T-shirts, dresses, belts, accessories, declaring the mood and preferences of their owner. Inscriptions on nails will excite the imagination of fashionistas for a long time, because with their help you can cheer yourself up, motivate yourself, and show others your character.
Manicure with the inscription love
Everyone has probably heard the phrase that love rules the world. It's hard to argue with this, so why not write this beautiful word on one of your nails. The design will look beautiful no matter what language the inscription is written in.
Tools and materials for creating designs
What items can you use to make a manicure with inscriptions on your nails? There are several options to help you recreate the text. To create a coating, any available design tools that you have are suitable.
Brushes
A thin brush will help bring out the graceful edge of any letter. The tool can be found at any office supply or art store. It is better to write the text with something thick. Gel polish with a thick consistency, gel paint and gel paste are suitable. If you do not have perfect calligraphy skills, it is recommended to make neat markings with a thin fountain pen at the beginning.
Stickers
Old and forgotten material for creativity in a new format. Tatoo nails are waterless sliders with different prints. They are thinner and more flexible than regular sliders, but have improved print quality. The procedure is exactly the same as with regular sliders. They should be glued not to the sticky layer, but to its absence. The price for Tattoo nails starts from 60 rubles. Ideally, they are glued to a light or white background.
Stencils
Special stencils with inscriptions for manicure or handicrafts will help you apply any phrase on your nails. The procedure here is quite simple: you need to place a stencil on a dried colored substrate and carefully paint the space. We talked about this method in detail in the article about Deep Design.
Scotch tape
Using tape, you can make letters or numbers with only straight lines. Manicure tape does not always bend smoothly; it is better to use it to delimit space on the nail plate. It can be used to design letters from the Greek alphabet, which have straight lines and sharp corners.
Stamps
Stamping is the most optimal and simplest option for creating nail designs with inscriptions. It provides additional opportunities for girls who are not very good at drawing. It doesn't stain your hands, imprints text well and looks great on your fingers in design.
The stamping kit consists of special plates with an engraved pattern or phrase, a scraper for removing excess varnish and a special stamp. First, you need to apply gel polish to the plate and remove excess with a scraper. Then all that remains is to print the inscription on a stamp and transfer it to your nails. The essence of a stamp is that you see what and where you stamp.
Color solutions
White manicure with inscriptions
White manicure is a fashionable novelty of recent seasons. It harmonizes perfectly with glitter, rhinestones, floristry, sliders and other decor.
As for the inscriptions, there are no restrictions here either. Create monochrome nail art with black gel polish or paint with bold shades. White manicure with inscriptions, unlike the others, can be complemented with florists, stripes, triangles, foil, rhinestones and other decor.
Black manicure with inscriptions
Despite the richness and categoricalness of the color, black manicure looks elegant and restrained. This is a universal option for any decor. But the most interesting look is black manicure with contrasting phrases. White letters on a black background look much brighter and richer. They can be complemented with miniature decorations in the form of hearts or stripes.
In addition to white, black manicure goes well with pink.
Matte manicure with inscription
Fashionable, creative and unconventional - this is a matte manicure with embossing. The matte finish looks very beautiful and elegant, attracting attention to the nails. The only thing is that a matte manicure lasts less on the nails than a glossy one.

How to do a manicure with letters or words at home
It turns out that you can easily try nail art with this interesting pattern at home. First, do a manicure, degrease the nail plate, and then apply the desired shade of varnish to your nails and dry. If necessary, apply a second coat, then dry the nails again. Take an old newspaper and cut one of the sheets with text into small pieces, slightly larger than your nail plate. Then, one by one, dip the cut leaves into vodka or alcohol and apply, pressing into the nail. Carefully remove the text blocks and see if the words are printed correctly. Do this procedure with each nail in turn, and at the end apply the top coat.
You can see more clearly how to do a manicure with words in the video below:

Manicure design with inscriptions
Despite the fact that a manicure with inscriptions looks simple, sometimes it is more difficult to do than it might seem. After all, it all depends on the chosen application technique.
The letter will help make it more attractive. There are many video tutorials that can help you learn how to write each letter in the appropriate style. This method requires perseverance and attention.
For those who love beautiful and elegant letters on their nails, it is better to make the inscription by hand. Of course, this can be quite difficult since a lot depends on your handwriting. It is best to practice on paper in advance to make it easier to achieve the desired effect on your nails.
Make typing much easier. And not only manually, but also with the help of stickers, stamps and cursor design. In this case, it doesn't matter which one you choose.
Despite all the variety of fonts, many people like minimalism much more. This is a great option for any occasion, from work to party. Therefore, feel free to complement the monochromatic coating with a beautiful little phrase or word. In this case, it is better to choose neutral tones such as beige, black, white, gray or blue. You can create the inscription yourself or use special stickers. This design always looks especially beautiful and modern, regardless of the length and shape of the nails.
Manicure with stickers and inscriptions
Writing words on your nails can be challenging, especially if you want to achieve a rather complex design. Sliders with captions will always come to the rescue. Choose sliders on a transparent backing; such material will be easy to place on any background.
If you're just getting started with manicure, be sure to fill your manicure kit with them. One slider is enough to transform your entire manicure.
Manicure with sparkles and inscriptions
The inscription can be played with any manicure, even with sparkles. In 2022, gold and silver sequins are in fashion, which go well with red, blue, burgundy, black and white paint, as well as pastel colors.
For short nails
A newspaper manicure is suitable for short nails - it allows you to cover the entire nail plate with dough. The background can be nude shades, or fashionable this season - blue, green. You can limit the design to just the inscription or add elements in a minimalist style.
