New items and fashion trends 2022
Today it is very difficult to keep up with fashion trends in the beauty industry, as professional artists are developing new and unique solutions for their clients. Fortunately, the choice of modern coatings is quite extensive, so every beauty will find the most versatile option for herself.
Adherents of timeless classics will be pleased with the design in more restrained colors, and for lovers of extravagant design, unique ombre combinations in bright shades have been developed.
We bring to your attention several stylish ideas that are most relevant this season:
- If you prefer unshakable classics, then we recommend choosing a delicate combination of pastel and powdery shades. Such combinations look very gentle and romantic.
- Until recently, the elongated shape of the nail plate was considered bad manners, and stylists were inclined towards a more neat short manicure. Today, the elongated almond-shaped nail shape, which is a type of Neil design, is at the peak of popularity.
- Gone are the days when the color of the coating was chosen to match the chosen outfit. Don’t be afraid to experiment and combine seemingly incompatible shades with each other. Make your manicure a completely separate element of your look that will become its highlight.
- The most fashionable nail polish colors in 2022 are taupe, marsala (or burgundy), plum, brown, as well as all sorts of bright acid shades.
Ombre nail designs for short nails
For girls with a natural nail plate, it is best to give preference to delicate pastel nail polish colors. Such shades will make sharp contours smoother, and the created manicure will look as natural as possible. This solution will especially appeal to all lovers of discreet design.
Ombre on short nails is usually done vertically. This direction allows you to visually stretch out the too short shape of the plate, thereby lengthening the fingers.
A horizontal transition from one shade to another is also allowed. In this case, craftsmen recommend combining contrasting colors of light and dark coatings. At the same time, you should refuse to use a large amount of decorative elements, such as rhinestones, prints or sparkles, giving preference to minimalism.
How to make ombre with gel polish
To gain experience, you need to do ombre several times with regular varnishes - they are easier to remove if you make a mistake. Then you can move on to the long-term option.

The sponge is very convenient for applying varnishes and mixing colors.
Ombre gel polish takes a long time to complete. It is better to treat each nail separately, then ideal evenness of the coating will be ensured.
To create an ombre gel polish you will need:
- lamp for drying nails;
- gel system – varnish – base, color compositions, final coating;
- primer;
- nail files and polishing surfaces;
- foil for the palette;
- nail polish remover;
- cotton buds.
- Lightly sand the surface of the plates and coat them with primer. Dry the varnish in a lamp.
- Then, on the palette, draw three stripes side by side with the gel polishes that you want to see in the drawing, blending the borders with a toothpick.
- Touch the design with a sponge and immediately transfer the polish to your nails. If you have not previously treated the edges of the leather with cream, then remove the varnish immediately. After drying in a lamp, this cannot be done without disturbing the design.
- Repeat the color application procedure again and dry the varnish. Ombre gel polish takes a long time to complete. It is better to treat each nail separately, then the perfect evenness of the coating will be ensured.
- When the drawing is ready and you are satisfied with the result, cover your nails with top gel and dry for a longer time under the lamp.

Using rubbing
This ombre technique is performed by rubbing in colored pigment. The delicate powdery colors of the coatings have gained particular popularity. Today, more and more fashionistas are opting for an interesting combination of pink tones with rubbed pearls. The created design looks incredibly feminine and sophisticated.
Fashionable ombre with mirror style rubbing is also in demand. The smooth transition from mirror to matte finish looks good. A unique effect is created thanks to the large number of microparticles contained in the powder rub. Thanks to them, the finished coating changes its color depending on the viewing angle.
Brush application technique
And now directly about how to apply a similar pattern on the nails using a brush. There are different methods depending on the chosen brush: hair, fan, flat, petal brush.
For the first option, you will need a thin brush, a set of gel polishes of selected colors, a base and top coat, a liquid for removing the sticky layer, a nail polish cleaner and tools for hygienic manicure - an orange stick, cuticle oil, buff.
We do a hygienic manicure, remove the cuticle and pterygium, sand the free edge and end, treat the plates with a buff, and, just in case, remove the remaining fat from the JDL.
Apply the base and cure for 2 minutes.
Apply one color to half of the nail, and another to the other. We use a shellac brush. To prevent colors from mixing in the bottle, wipe the brush with a lint-free cloth each time before dipping it.
Using a hair brush, placing it perpendicularly, we begin to move from one side roller to another, moving from the center of one color to the center of another. We make movements like a pendulum, quickly and smoothly.
Apply colors again to different zones and perform the same brush manipulations. Continue this way until the image takes its proper form.
Apply finish and dry.
Remove the dispersed layer.
If you choose a fan brush, then the process differs only in one way: when the colors are applied, place the brush on the side roller and move it to the other. Then, without turning it over so that the colors do not mix, we draw it in the opposite direction. We make movements slowly and so on until the result satisfies you.
It is more convenient to paint a vertical gradient with a flat brush. We apply 2 vertical lines to the nail, treat the joint area with a flat brush - we draw it from the base to the free edge easily, without pressing and without breaking it in any place. We hold the brush almost parallel to the plate. We also do several layers.
If you decide to make a festive ombre manicure and use sparkles, then you can do it like this using a petal brush:
Apply glitter to the substrate or transparent base with a brush. To do this, pour a little onto the foil and, grabbing a small amount with a petal brush, attach it to one end of the plate. We make elongated movements, as if spreading glitter. Do not press the brush too hard so as not to remove part of the base.
At the other end we apply glitter of a different color in the same way.
On the joint line we add one color or another in the right places.
We cover the nails with finishing gel, polymerize, and remove the dispersed layer.
Make sure that no glitter gets into the bottle with top coat - wipe the brush every time.
Gradient manicure with rhinestones
Iridescent crystals will perfectly complement your manicure.
If earlier sparkling decor was appropriate only in an evening look, today a similar design is very often used even in a daytime look.
It is only important to maintain moderation and not overload the design with too many bright rhinestones.
Still in trend is the popular design in the Feng Shui style, when one, most often the ring finger, is highlighted with the help of a decorative ornament. Floral arrangements made with crystals of various sizes and shades look elegant. Also, more and more often, clients are asking to decorate the hole of the nail plates with rhinestones. In the photo you can see the most popular options for decorating with crystals this season.
Gradient with glitter and rhinestones
If you need a memorable design, then a gradient with glitter and rhinestones will suit you like no other. Its “trick” lies in the special decoration of nails - with the help of rhinestones.
Peculiarities:
- The most common mistake when applying such a manicure is the illiterate distribution of rhinestones.
- Sometimes the nails are completely strewn with decorative elements (in some cases even the nail itself is not visible), and sometimes the “cat cried” rhinestone.
- In order to prevent this, you need to correctly calculate where the rhinestones will be located and where the varnish will be located.
- If you are making a glitter gradient, then you should take into account that the glitter should be stretched from the tip to the middle of the nail plate.
- In a manicure, everything should be in moderation - an imbalance of elements can easily ruin the overall picture. Therefore, the choice of individual design should be approached responsibly.
To avoid mistakes, we advise you to seek help from a professional designer who specializes in applying decorative coatings to nails.
With sparkles, pattern
An unusual print or ornament can make even the most banal and boring nail design unique. It is enough to show a little imagination to make the finished manicure sparkle with completely new colors.
- In past seasons, floral patterns, images of animals and cartoon characters were especially popular.
- Today, preference is given to animal prints such as leopard or tiger. This “wild” design is in increasing demand among lovers of extravagant images.
- Another new product for 2022 is a gradient nail design with the addition of sparkles. This solution in combination with the ombre effect looks truly stylish. Craftsmen use glitter of different shades in their works, using them to create very beautiful natural color transitions.
With the addition of French
This interpretation of everyone’s favorite French manicure appealed to many girls. The age-old classic is always in demand, especially when it comes to a French jacket. In this design, the light end of the nail plate very smoothly transitions into another shade. Thanks to the unusual effect, the transition border is very soft, and the finished design looks as gentle and feminine as possible.
In addition to classic nude and pastel tones, masters also use bright combinations of contrasting shades, complementing the manicure with decorative elements.
And instead of the usual white smile, preference is given to rich summer colors of the rainbow.
