New and fashion trends
The modern look at the nail trends opens up a lot of opportunities to add high status and refinement notes to your bow. The approach of the new season will be marked by a focus on minimalism in everything. This decor, and the number of different textures in the design, and even the number of shades. It is not for nothing that fashion has chosen this solution: getting rid of variegation, the design becomes expressive.
More than ever it is important that the design basis is a status background. Fashion emphasizes: no need to cover your nails too voluminous decor or layering prints, closing the base. It is ugly, so the background lacquer is lost in the design, and the abundance of variegation does not catch the looks of others. What can we say about beauty, when each nail vying with each other shouts about its decor, competing with its neighbor.
Fashion proposes to turn to a careful selection of the main tone and carefully think over the coatings that would look with him not only harmoniously, but also appropriately. It is important that the design is suitable for a specific purpose, and this can be done only by getting rid of all the excess. Chosen tones should be noble and muted. Moreover, their degree of saturation may be completely different, as the temperature of the tone.
A new trend has become the seasonality of design. This is necessarily belonging to a particular season or even a specific month. Welcome and festive design: New Year, Christmas, March, as well as various marshmallows for Valentine's Day. Seasonality should be expressed not only in the choice of shades, it is important to indicate it through the decor or pattern.
For example, for some celebrations it could be inlays with stones, opals, Swarovski crystals and liquid stones are in fashion. With stones you can and should decorate the design for the publication, for a wedding, a solemn event. But this should be done correctly, because not every holiday needs to cover the nails with solid inlay. Fashion spot arrangement sparkling decor. Let's say it looks better in the amount of several tiny-sized pieces in the cuticle area than on the entire nail.
Innovation was a decrease in the number of accents and the definition of their places. The best option is to perform the accent of manicure on the nails of the ring fingers. Such design differ expressive design due to its contrast with the main background. If two accents are not enough, they are increased to three or four, performing the design on the adjacent (medium) nail plates.
Fashionable today is the design option is a composite design or print, which is located on two (rarely three) adjacent nails.It is important that when performing a composite pattern (for example, a cityscape, sketches of a night city, a girl with dandelion umbrellas) looked through the main background. It is this nuance that determines the ease of design, to which the basis of fashion trends tends.
The main trends were also determined, giving the design a note of luxury and refined taste. This is, above all, the focus of design to the female beginning. The design aesthetics is important, taking into account the size and shape of the plates with the dimensions of the pattern or fixed decor. It is important that everything looks balanced and harmonious.
Determined favorites among the decorative material. Today it is a variety of powders that can change the original type of texture used coating. It is acrylic powder and rubbed. With regards to the latter, it is worth highlighting the species “mermaid” (pearl with overflows), “maybug” (under the insect's shell) and “northern lights” (the effect of rainbow overflows).
One of the trends was the mica flake material Yuki. With it, you can diversify any type of surface, while the effect of the material will vary depending on the intensity of processing of the working coating. Holographic letters are popular, Japanese kamifubuki are elevated to the cult, which can modify any manicure technique. Topical coatings with various unusual effects (flowering, stained glass).
In a separate line made creative directions in the designwho are able to please and surprise even the most outrageous fashionistas. Despite the fact that a separate branch cannot be called comfortable in everyday life, this design is so creative that it becomes a bright object of general attention. This unusual shape (bubble, nails, teeth, daggers, nails, fingers), and weird decor (noses with whiskers, faces with hair, pieces of fur, pompons, LEDs, small insects).
Actual color combinations
This season, the choice of one or the other contrast decision will depend on seasonality. In this case, the saturation of shades can be very diverse. For example, bright and dark colors of the palette are particularly relevant now. This is necessarily a wine and burgundi, emerald and eggplant, plum and Marsala. These tones bring onions notes of luxury and high status.
Particularly relevant today is considered nude scale. Shades of beige-pink tones are an excellent basis for design in different techniques. In addition, the nude is perfectly combined with any color of the palette, whether it is a light pigment or a bright and saturated contrast. Also important is its combination with neutral palette colors (white, black and gray). In addition, nude tones look good with a shimmer (silver and gold), such combinations are at the peak of popularity today.
Depending on the chosen manicure technique, related colors of the same color can be used in the design. For example, according to this principle, a gradient from finger to finger is created today. The differences between the tones should be small, so that against the general background the design has a smooth stretching of shades. The use of contrasting combinations of three tones is also allowed.
Actual contrast today is the duo of gray-pink and powdery (or white). At the same time, in order to soften the contrast on a white background, one almost always performs a drawing using the leading shade of the manicure. It is fashionable to combine red with white, powder with bronze covering the black backing. If you still use a matte finish with velor effect as a base, then such a design will be not only status, but also trendy.
In order not to wrestle with the search for the most stylish combination, you can resort to the spectacular options offered by fashion. For example, combinations will look pretty nice:

- black with turquoise and beige print;
- pink with blue and satin rub;
- lavender with pale pink and mint;

- white with blue contrast;
- cold and warm pink;
- black with green and white print;
- cream with lilac;
- coral with peach and black;
- emerald with a black print;
- Marsal with black;
- aubergine with powdery accents.
The popularity of powder shades is due to their soft softening of any tone. Without an extra cry, they balance the contrast, making it more interesting and elegant. That is why powdery tones today are more relevant in duets, rather than a combination of the same bright colors with white. As for the black color, it can be added to any paint, but it is necessary to estimate the amount of dark pigment, because when it is low, it highlights the background companion, and when a large number suppresses colored lacquer.
Popular shades of pastel gamut. These are light pink, blue, lilac, cream, milky tones. In addition to them, light mint and turquoise are popular shades. Often they are combined into one design that looks quite beautiful and fresh. Of the bright colors worth mentioning raspberry and fresh green color. By the way, green shades are becoming more popular today. In winter, they are chosen mainly in the cold range, warm ones will be more appropriate in summer.
The length and shape of nails
The new season pleases modern fashionistas with the fact that we have finally returned to the smoothness of outlines and average length. More recently, fashionable women had to rush between short and long versions. This complicated the choice of a harmonious shade, because on long nails it sometimes looked defiant.

In addition, the round shape of the edge is quite feminine, which is especially important for the image of a modern woman. Oval nails are available all known design design techniques, this form visually ennobles not only the nail plate, but the fingers themselves.
