Nail Designs

Top nail designs on this page. Our hands are always in the limelight so it’s no wonder that nail art is highly popular these days. A qualified nail artist can make your nails look elegant and stunning but before going to the manicurist you should make up your mind on what kind of design you want to have: elegant, bold, or classic. 

Manicure For Short Nails

Manicure ideas for short nails are impressive in their diversity. After all, nowadays there are no restrictions on the length. In addition, naturalness and simplicity is highly popular now. It means that short nails are trendy and they can be done to your heart’s content but there are still some things to be concerned about:

  • It’s worth giving  preference to a simple design. For example, you can choose large but not bright decorations (monochrome nail art, decoration with a single crystal). Or you can also apply a few little decorations (a scattering of rhinestones or bubbles, small geometric designs, etc.).
  • A nude manicure is the perfect choice for short nails, but make sure that the nail edges and cuticles are trimmed perfectly. And it is not necessary to follow the classic trends and cover all nails with one shade. A modern nude is an alternation of matte and glossy coatings, a luxurious ombré with sequins to match the pastel polish, and, of course, a chic manicure in the style of feng shui with marvelous painting, watercolors or other decorations on one of the nails.
  • Simple geometry - stripes, cobwebs, zigzags, polka dots and other shapes look great on short nails. They can be used not only to create a unique manicure, but also to visually correct the shape of nails, if it is far from ideal.  

Manicure For Long Nails

A stylish manicure for long nails has a whole range of peculiarities. In particular, the length itself and the nail shape.

It's worth starting with the shape, as it's very difficult to choose the right one for those who want to be on trend. So, nail fashion 2021-2022 is:

  • The classic almond and oval shape. Suitable for everyone and even recommended in cases where the fingers don’t look as pretty as you want them to be;
  • The square shape with round corners. This is a regular square shape but there is a soft rounding of the free edges of the nails. You should choose this type of shape if you have at least medium length nails, otherwise it will make your fingers look rough. Exception to the rule  – thin and elegant fingers which can be matched with any type of shape;
  • The lipstick shape and the combination of almond and square-shaped nails are super trendy variants which will be suitable for everyone who is not afraid of experimenting.

The “barelina” and “stiletto” are also remaining on top of the nail design trends. Anyway, you can have any shape you like as long as it is in harmony with your fingers. The only absolute requirement is that the manicure must be done perfectly, only then it will be a great addition to your image.

You can decide on the length of your nails yourself: naturalness and a moderate length are in fashion now. But with the right approach to nail design you can make a stylish manicure at any length.

Manicure Design

Manicure 2022 is a true extravaganza of colors, textures, and decorations that are combined in many different ways. But you should still give preference to more laconic options, especially if you're a fan of classics and elegance. 

And nail-masters suggest combining the traditional design approach with the latest fashion trends.

Lunar Manicure

For a long time, this design was considered basic, and required additional techniques - painting, experimenting with shades of nail polish, rhinestones, etc. But today it is not necessary, and chic nail design can be done using only a couple of colors and simple design.

  • Highlighting the lunula with an outline of a contrasting color;
  • Triangle or square-shaped lunula instead of the classic semi-circular variant;
  • Highlighting the lunula with glitter, foil, or bubbles which go together with the nail color.

You can decorate your nails with flowers choosing your own style, for example, you can have a painting of thin vignettes in the form of liana or you can also draw a marvelous flowerbed. Moreover, translucent flowers painted in a watercolors technique, or floral ornaments made with the help of stamping or stencils will complement your image perfectly.

Summer Nail Design

Neon colors complemented with paintings are the height of fashion now. Fruit, flowers, butterflies (made with the help of any technique you like) remain the most popular things people associate summer with.
