There is a new trend in the world of manicure: bright acid manicure has become popular. This is a great chance to be fashionable in 2019-2020. Undoubtedly, the new trend will appeal more to the younger generation. But older and independent women need to be more careful when choosing designs with neon shades. But today there are no prohibitions in design, there are only your personal framework of perception, taste and mood.
By the way, neon shades are in fashion not only in manicure, but also in clothes, shoes and even accessories. Therefore, no matter how skeptical many are about provocative acidic colors, 2022 is the time to change your attitude towards them. Of course, such a bright manicure is not the most elegant; to approach this trend, you can try to choose suitable options for yourself. We offer you to see the best examples of acid manicure 2019-2020 in bright green, pink, yellow and orange colors.
Neon stylized jacket
A neon jacket in green shades, both glossy and matte, can look juicy, stylish and summery. The ideal shape of nails, bright blocks of color and neon in these French options are quite harmless.
Sunny and stylish
The most trendy manicure of 2022 is the one that combines three factors: a pointed nail shape, an abundance of design and brightness. It is perhaps difficult to choose something more fashionable than the next option.

In this case, extended nails and a manicure with an acid yellow color are used. Despite the fact that each of the nails is designed in a special way, they all resonate with each other in one way or another. Rhinestones with pointed tips add a touch of edginess to your nails. A drawn flower, on the contrary, smoothes and pacifies. Note the covering of the thumb.
In this case, the master used decorative sand for nails. The powder is mixed with colored gel polish, forming a similar coating. This nail also feels different from the rest to the touch. Keep this in mind before you try sand coating. For some women it causes minor inconvenience.
Neon geometry
Since neon is king, you can try covering a few nails with a matte acidic color, combining them with geometric patterns, such as stripes. Moreover, such a manicure can be quite a beautiful manicure idea for every day, if bright shades don’t bother you. See more manicure ideas with stripes 2019-2020 here.
Juicy orange
According to fashion critics, orange is recognized as the main color of this year. This cheerful shade, oddly enough, is not loved by a very large number of women. Probably the whole point is that it is complex in combination and quite aggressive. But for those ladies who are not at all embarrassed by these aspects, we invite you to take a closer look at neon orange.
For such a manicure you will need long extended nails in the shape of a ballerina. By the way, this particular form is in second place in popularity, after “cat’s claws.”
The originality of this design lies in the fact that one of the nails on the hand is different from the rest. A thin strip of neon orange gel polish is framed by small decorative balls. Thus, visually the fingers look slimmer and more graceful.
Acid manicure with rhinestones
If we talk about rhinestones and sparkles, then this is a universal decor that, in small quantities, can beautifully decorate a bright manicure, such as a French or moonlit manicure. More photo ideas can be seen below.
Simple, bright and tasteful
For those who have not yet decided on an overly bold nail design, we advise you to choose a coral manicure with slides.
This shade is good because it combines brightness and classics. After all, red manicure never loses its relevance and suits most looks.
The master will design one of the nails at your request using a slider. Those who are unfamiliar with this type of design will be interested to know what it is. A slider is a water-based printed image used for nail decoration. To transfer the slider to the nail, you need to cut it out and place it on a cotton pad soaked in water for a couple of minutes, then use tweezers to separate the paper from the thin translucent film with the picture and transfer it to the prepared nail. Next, you need to carefully spread it on the nail plate and let it dry. Finally, the slider is coated with a layer of finishing gel polish.
Acid gradient on nails
Thanks to the spectacular combination of bright shades, the popular gradient, made on two fingers, looks stunning. And the stylish geometry perfectly complements the nail design.
Halloween manicure
Autumn is approaching, and with it the favorite holiday of children and parents - Halloween. And although this day is not celebrated everywhere in our country, many come up with their own celebration. On this occasion, some girls get a themed manicure.
Choose several acidic colors of varnish, adding them to the main black. Draw cute pictures on your nails with various evil spirits, in the form of bats, spiders, attributes of a witch, and the like. The photo shows an acid-colored manicure for Halloween.
Among other things, use prints such as polka dots, stripes and spirals. This will add a special chic to your manicure. If you can't come up with images for Halloween nails, use sliders with pictures suitable for the holiday. But since we are talking about a manicure for a specific event, show imagination and courage, and then you will definitely get a bright result.
Contrary to popular belief, acid nails are not fun for young girls. As you can see, with the right approach, they can perfectly decorate the hands of a woman of any age.
Combination of cobwebs and neon color on nails
There has never been such a boom in bright manicures. Manicurists offer their signature combinations of acidic shades and spider web gel paint designs. The RuNet was filled with ideas for such noticeable nails, but not too provocative.
Electro style nails
Why conventions and thoughts about the compatibility of shades when the soul requires a bright acid-colored manicure? There are a couple more nail contenders in line, ready to amaze you with their spontaneity.
So, lovers of everything otherworldly will certainly like the design with an eye on each nail. In this case, the principle of repeating a pattern with a different background works. This neon manicure looks funny and is quite suitable for some kind of electro-style party.
The second version of an acid-colored manicure is more restrained, but nevertheless retains a subtext of unusualness. To create it, the master will need special nail design tapes with an adhesive base. After applying the yellow-red neon gradient, the artist sticks sections of strips onto the nail. Next, the entire surface is covered with one or two layers of black varnish. And before drying in the lamp, the strips are removed from the nail, leaving bright, even stripes underneath. This method is used to ensure that the neon stripes are as smooth as possible. Only some nail artists can draw such a design on their own.

Alice in Wonderland
For those who are not afraid of brightness and experimentation in their looks, we offer another manicure option with acidic varnish colors. Only the bravest people can decide on this.
For the intricate pattern on the two central nails, ordinary brush painting is used, although at first glance it seems that it is due to some special technique of applying gel polish. Neon stripes are applied to black dried varnish using a thin brush. Alternating colors and directions gives such an interesting effect.
As for the rest of the nails, this design is a combination of crescent and gradient. This acid-colored manicure looks very original.
Using stationery tape
On sunny summer days, give yourself a bright acid manicure on tanned hands (photo below in the article). All nails are painted with one chosen color, in our case it is neon light green. The main work will be done on one of the nails, for which a unique design has been invented. However, before applying it, there is a painstaking and time-consuming job of painting the nail in several colors. To do this, use regular stationery tape. The first layer of varnish - yellow - is dried and most of it is sealed, leaving a rectangle at the base. After covering this area with a dark lilac color, the tape is removed and the finger is placed under the lamp. The remaining pieces are painted in orange and green neon colors in the same way.
After each application of varnish to the surface, the nail is dried. Now all that remains is to draw lines around the perimeter of the patches with a brush and place dotted circles in a contrasting color.
Dots and dots of different sizes
There are several acid colors, so it would be interesting to cover each nail with a separate color. To create an accent point, it will be enough to highlight one of the nails. Let's do this on a neutral white surface by making dots with a special stick with balls of different sizes on both ends called dots. You can use the colors of the selected varnishes for the circles, or you can add other shades. The result can be seen in the photo of the acid manicure on the left.
On the right side, the nails look more rich and picturesque, since there are not only more dots, but they are also located overlapping one another. The main background is a bright orange shade, and the dotted circles have contrasting colors.
Rainbow-arc
On gloomy autumn days, people most want bright colors. So why not put a little summer on your nails? Acid-colored nails in the shape of a rainbow will lift your spirits and charge you with positivity just by looking at them.
Each of the nails in this manicure combines two colors, similar in shades. The technique that the artist uses to create such a design is called a gradient. It represents a smooth transition from one color to another. At the same time, there are simply no traces of transition and clear boundaries.
Since we are talking about a bright acid-colored manicure, the combination of shades should be very neat. It is best to choose similar ones, such as: green and yellow, red and pink, yellow and orange. Also, each color at the base of the nail is repeated on the top of the adjacent one. This is how the rainbow effect is achieved.
Original touches
If you think that you can only apply nail polish with a brush, you are deeply mistaken. There are drawings made with a toothbrush and toothpick. Drops of the selected shades should be applied to the background coating with the main color. Then use a brush to smear them over the surface of the nail plate.
If you need subtle strokes, then it will be enough to run the edge of a toothpick through all the colors. The result is multi-colored streaks, as if flowing from the smooth surface of the nail. The effect of a splash and smooth transition from one bright color to another. This acidic manicure is suitable for special occasions, but to maintain balance and harmony, choose a monochromatic outfit so that the appearance does not cause aesthetic discomfort.
What is an acid pedicure
The second name for this type of pedicure is cream. He received it thanks to its gentle effects and complete safety: the procedure does not involve the use of piercing or cutting objects, so there is no chance of infection or injury. This is a painless and quick way to care for your feet, which will help get rid of many problems.
For pedicure, a special product with fruit acids is used - they gently exfoliate the rough layer of skin. Also during the procedure, calluses and corns are removed, which often cause discomfort when walking. After an acid pedicure, walking becomes easier, which has a beneficial effect on posture and overall health.

The product used is completely safe, so acid pedicure is suitable for most clients, even teenagers, breastfeeding women, pregnant women and people with diabetes. However, there are still a number of contraindications. Thus, the master has the right to refuse to perform the procedure if the client has a fungal infection of the feet or open wounds and scratches. Otherwise, there is a risk of getting a burn caused by acids and worsening the condition, and delicate skin may turn red.
The most important role is played by glycolic acid, which is part of the product. It not only dissolves rough skin, allowing it to be carefully removed, but also slows down the process of epidermal regeneration. Thanks to this, the result lasts for a long time, and the pedicure should be repeated only after a month.
Acid pedicure has many advantages over other types of pedicure. For example, it causes virtually no discomfort because it only requires a liquid cream. But with a hardware pedicure, the master uses a special device with cutters, which can cause unpleasant sensations for clients with sensitive skin on the feet. However, the gel should not be overexposed, otherwise it will dry out the skin. It is also recommended to use restorative moisturizers after the procedure.
Advantages and disadvantages of acid pedicure
Acid pedicure is chosen by many clients because it has many advantages and few disadvantages. The advantages include:
- Safety. Acid pedicure is suitable for those who are afraid of getting injured during the procedure. Due to the absence of piercing and cutting tools, the risk of injury is reduced to zero.
- Long lasting effect. The result lasts for a month. If the skin was initially in poor condition, this time may be shorter, but with each procedure the interval between pedicure sessions will increase;
- Simplicity. The procedure takes very little time.
- A small list of contraindications. There are no age restrictions for an acid pedicure; the only thing the client should not have is nail fungus and wounds on the feet.
Disadvantages of acid pedicure:
- If you have sensitive and delicate skin on your feet, it is better to choose a different type of pedicure.
- Allergic reactions are sometimes possible, but this is a very rare occurrence.
- If the rules of the procedure are not followed, dryness and flaking after a pedicure may occur.
- If you don't wash off the product well, you can get burned.
