Manicure is an area of beauty culture, the trends in which change almost every day. Trends that are set by both bloggers and celebrities range from luxurious, complex designs to minimalist monochromatic nails.
Geometry in manicure is one of the hottest trends of the past and the present season. A variety of options is striking - from simple clear lines to complex patterns of shapes - rhombuses, triangles, hexagons.
Let's stop on diamonds. What design options can be made using this geometric shape? Consider more.
"Quilted" nails
One of the variants of a manicure with rhombus is the so-called quilted design, when the pattern on the nails imitates the stitching used on handbags, outerwear and shoes. How to make it? There are two ways: using a special adhesive tape and without it.
You will need: UV-lamp or LED-lamp, base, gel polish and top (with a sticky layer or without it), adhesive tape for manicure, a thin brush for drawing details.
The first method involves the following sequence of actions:
- after preparing nail plates for varnishing (that is, you need to do a regular manicure, sand with a buff for better hitch, degrease with a special compound), apply the base;
- dry your nails in a UV lamp, cover them with a gel for French manicure;
- once again having dried the nails, remove the sticky layer from the gel;
- using a tape to form a "grid" of rhombic, cover the nails with a layer of gel polish;
- dry your nails, carefully remove the "grid";
- Next, you need to try to make each diamond visually voluminous, this will help a thin brush and a number of skills.
You can decorate each element with rhinestone or - selectively - cover it with sparkles. You can "quilting" all ten nails, and you can do it selectively, on two nails of each hand. Some women of fashion match the color of varnish to the color of the quilted handbag, others play on contrasts. Since at present the rule is: a bag and shoes of the same color, and lipstick and varnish - strictly in tone - does not work, but, on the contrary, in the most desperate fashionistas is considered yesterday, you can choose any shade for your manicure, and it will be relevant.
If for some reason you did not have ribbons, you can do a “quilted” manicure without them. You will need a thin brush, which you and draw diamonds. Of course, this method requires a lot of concentration and some skills, but the result can be excellent if you practice a little. The sequence of actions is the same as for a manicure with adhesive tape, only diamonds are drawn by hand.
To give volume to the elements, their coating is made in two or even three thin layers, and the strips between diamonds - only in one.
Nail geometry
Diamonds in the design does not necessarily imply imitation stitches. You can combine a geometric pattern with a gradient, then the diamonds will gradually become richer, while maintaining a clear shape, without streaks and irregularities. It is very complex, requiring long time-consuming, but at the same time unusually effective type of design. With it, your handles will definitely be in the center of attention and even the simplest look will “stretch out”.
In addition, you can put a diamond in the center of the nail, for example, making it blue. And the rest of the design to form "around" him, encircling each subsequent contour with an increasingly darker shade of blue. It turns out something between a gradient and an optical pattern.
And, of course, one should not forget such a fashionable nowadays precise geometry, usually performed from black, beige or powdery and one bright color. Due to the contrast of tones, the manicure is very sharp, catchy, very fashionable. Often the contrast of shades is emphasized by thin lines of silver or gold glitter. But rhinestones and stones are rarely used in precise geometry, perhaps because of the brevity of designs.
Kamifubuki, "dragon scales" and other interesting elements of nail art
Speaking about the geometric manicure with rhombuses, one cannot avoid a story about camomifubs. In Russian, this mysterious word means nothing other than the well-known paper confetti. In the summer of 2018, the trend “kamifubuki” simply “thundered”, was as popular as possible. In the fall, the circles and squares of their positions did not pass, adorning the more saturated colors of varnish - wine, ocher, chocolate and shades of precious stones.
Kamifubuki is produced not only in the most popular form. - circles, but also in others: asterisks, rhombus, squares, ovals, hearts. Their size is also different, which allows you to create a huge number of design options - from minimalist calculations on a colorless varnish to luxurious modulations on a cat's eye. From rhombuses you can lay out a gradient, stripes, even a semblance of a moon manicure or french.
Kamifubuki look great in combination with a matte top, on a black glossy lacquer, make out the "king-nail" - in general, almost everywhere!
The most relevant design using kamifubuki today is the so-called dragon scales. This option has appeared recently, but immediately gained widespread popularity among Instagram bloggers and fashionable young ladies. “Scales” are laid out from diamond-shaped plates, this work requires great care, and also, since the design is applied on the curving part of the nail, good adhesion of the material to the base and varnish. That is why “dragon scales” should go to the master, who has an idea about this type of design and enjoys a good reputation among customers.
In addition, from the small diamond camuifubs you can lay out a diamond pattern. In short, a variety of options limits only your imagination.
If you have all the materials for this type of home design, you can make it yourself. What do you need? UV or LED lamp, base and top, gel polish of the desired color, dots, well, and kamifubuki themselves. Experts in this case are advised to use a rubber base because of its viscosity. The sequence of actions is as follows:
- put base, dry;
- varnish nails, polymerizing it;
- apply the base layer again and with the help of the dots lay out the pattern of kamifubuki, as if “melting” each element in the base;
- dry the resulting design and apply another layer of the base;
- dry your nails in the lamp, cover them with a top;
- after the last drying, remove the sticky layer, if the top is with it, and if a top without a sticky layer was used, then admire the result.

Rhinestones and stones for the decoration of nails are also produced in the form of rhombuses. They can also lay out patterns or emphasize the ornament painted with varnish.
The only rule for lovers of colorful manicure is this: the more luxurious and colorful nails, the more concisely should be the outfit. Miksovat prints need to learn, and in the absence of such a skill, you can become not a mysterious exotic bird, but a colorful parrot.
