The nail industry identifies more than 10 ways to help maintain healthy nails, and the number of designs is increasing every year, which is shown by photos on the Internet and glossy magazines.
This season, trends are going to white - the base color, combined with many different decorations. This article will help you understand the trends, techniques, and stylish designs that make the milky hue more expressive and attractive.
Fashion trends of the nail industry 2020
Western beauty publications are the first to highlight new techniques and designs for trendy manicure. If there is no access to them, then the masters advise to study examples of manicure, laid out by professional designers in the form of a photo report on social networks.
Today white is in fashion - a classic color of the nail industry. He focuses on the hands, makes the image positive and festive. The masters use light colors in different techniques. But before working with a light coating, it is worth considering its positive and negative sides in color - the combination of colors.

| A properly selected manicure format allows the design to be bright. |
An analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the coating helps in choosing a technique to go with white. The main one is French design.
White jacket on nails
White smile line and pink camouflage are a successful formula for a universal manicure. French design, used at the beginning of the 20th century, is not only relevant to this day, but is also used in many styles. But in 2020, the jacket has changed - now the colors of the substrate and the base are reversed, diluting the white smile line with ornaments and rhinestones.
Among the favorites is the beveled tip of the nail. It is executed in the form of a white triangle, decorated instead of a smile line. So, at the tip of the nail, a part is created that is covered with beige camouflage. For greater effect, it is worth adding patterns - lines, dots and rhinestones.
The popularity of the jacket is due to its compatibility with the basic wardrobe. He is also on the list of favorites among office workers.
French manicure trends for 2020 include:
- Accent placement. 1 hand nail is made in a different style. This is replacing the white smile line with foil or a shimmering strip, laying at the base with rhinestones or dusting in the form of a gradient. Using the technique will add variety to monochrome manicure.
- Unusual smile line. The formation of lines with negative space at the free edge, an oval bevel or a drawing instead of an arc - all this is actively used by masters.
Having considered the classics, it is worth dwelling on bright combinations with white.
Gold and silver plated
The middle between monochrome designs and rhinestones are shiny particles. They are convenient to use due to their versatility and easy application - the coating is suitable even for varnish.
The design of nails in white, the photos of which are posted in the official groups of masters, confirms the demand for gold and silver pigments. They sprinkle the hole, highlight the pattern and form a semblance of a jacket. A popular solution is to underline geometry with a thin brush.
However, iridescent pigment is difficult to remove from nails. A cotton pad with a cleaning agent and the foil that wraps the plate will help. 5 minutes of waiting - and the nail is clean without an abundance of sparkles!
Lunar nail design in white
2020 is a trend towards emphasizing the base of the plate. The classic version - highlighting the holes with sparkles and contrasting colors - is combined with all shades.
For owners of perfectly-correct nail plates, a design with negative space is suitable. The master leaves the hole uncoated using a special stencil. This technique will make the regrowth of nails invisible, because the color of the base will merge with the natural shade.
Professionals recommend trying out unusual shapes: triangles, lines, squares and hearts. They can be left unpainted or highlighted in a contrasting color.
Don't forget about trendy designs and patterns. The eyes, mehendi, sun and geometry created at the base of the nail are all ideas trending with white.
With stripes
Today, lines are the first association when fashion design is mentioned. White emphasizes geometry better than the rest of the palette. Therefore, it is very convenient to experiment with the arrangement and design of the stripes.
For the minimalist, a design with short black vertical lines at the base will suit. They are easy to apply with a thin brush, but it is better to practice in advance on tips.
Designs with silver and gold lines are very popular among professionals.
The single stripe decorating the nail adds an accent to the entire manicure. Scotch tape sold in cosmetic stores will help simplify the task of drawing.
Overlap is another format suitable for women of all ages. It is easy to create a smile line. 2 stripes intersecting at one point form a combination on a white background. For drawing, black is suitable, complementing the classic range.
Rub-in manicure
A finely ground shiny substance composed of iridescent crystals. Ease of application, an abundance of techniques and a different result - these are some of the advantages of rubbing. The master easily adjusts the density of the coating, due to which an unusual manicure is obtained.
Trends in 2020 juxtapose white with a slightly grinded mélange. It is applied over the base shade. The rest of the rubbing options - holography, mirrored and "May beetle" look bright against the white background. But if such an effect is needed, then the masters advise using gold or silver metallic as an accent on 1 finger.
The order of execution of the design with rubbing is as follows:
- Preparing the plate and skin. Avoiding a trim manicure will lead to better results. Eliminate irregularities, shape nails and correct cuticles. It is necessary to add buffing to this list.
- Base application. The tip of the nail should be sealed with gel polish. The coating layer is small to ensure an even application of the rub.
- Application of the main color. The wizard varies the number of layers, which depend on the density of the coating.
- Rubbing application. Pigment is applied to the sticky layer with a sponge or brush. You should not save on rubbing - the layer thickness will provide the best result.
- Drying in a UV lamp.
- Coating with a protective layer of gel polish.
The separate parts on the plate are also rubbed in: the smile line, center, drawings and lunar space. It all depends on the chosen design and the type of pigment.
With stickers
A way to help reduce design time is by using stickers. Craftsmen prefer the sticky format to the water-based versions.
Nail design in white, the photo of which breaks popularity records, is combined with the following stickers:
- Animalistics. Animal prints, footprints and outlines add completeness to the light underlay. But do not apply all the stickers at once - this is what the masters warn about.
- Space theme. Planets, stars with iridescent particles and comets are very popular. Craftsmen advise to apply such stickers on a square shape.
- Symbols. Hieroglyphs have not lost their relevance. To these are added mehendi stickers in brown, creating an ethnic design.
Geometry
The current trend is the drawing of squares, lines and triangles on nails. Craftsmen advise to choose transparent stickers - they will help save time on drawing.
Use red, black and blue as the color scheme. Overlap, multiple shapes on one nail or minimalistic squares in the center are the most popular options.
With gradient
The technique consists in the transition of shades - from light to dark and vice versa. As a basis, 1 color is selected, complemented by the rest of the palette. White is the best solution for a gradient, because it allows you to use any combination of shades.
In 2020, a mix of blue and green colors began to be used more often. For the design, several varnishes of similar shades are purchased in advance, which are alternately applied to a sponge or sponge. Next, a print is put on the nail, allowing the texture to fix the transition without clear boundaries. The result is a "flow" of one color into another.
The opposite is the gradient with clear boundaries. It is made with stencils in the form of stickers.
With an inscription
Craftsmen note that words and phrases have begun to be used in nail art more often than pictures. Lettering helps draw attention to your manicure by allowing you to focus on the design.
Trends are headed by lines of famous songs, quotes and even proverbs. Often on the nails appear obscene expressions in a playful form. They are created using stickers sold in cosmetics stores. The abundance on the market helps to find the right font and lettering design.
The design of nails in white, the photo of which is gaining many likes, contains logomania, partly echoing with phrases and words. Signs of fashion houses and large companies, made on a white background, are beyond competition.
Monochrome manicure with white varnish
The disadvantages of decor for nail design are excessive brightness and lack of versatility. The same cannot be said for monochrome manicure.
White breaks records in demand among manicurists. But the whiteness effect varies with shades and application techniques, so the result is varied. The disadvantage of a monochrome light design is to emphasize all the flaws of the nail plate. If irregularities, grooves and other defects are observed, then it is worth considering a similar option for a monochromatic coating.
Matte white nails
The lack of shine on the plate is a hit of the summer season. It is created thanks to a special finish top that gives the nails a dry effect.
The mix with white color and matte finish can highlight the flaws of the plate. The properties of light shades to highlight flaws are enhanced several times. Therefore, for owners of problem nails, it is better to choose the option with a glossy texture. There are no other complaints, because this combination is suitable for everyday life and for relaxing on the seashore.
