Fashion trends in manicure for 2019

2019 has brought some fresh nail art trends that promise to linger into next year. Among them there are both completely new directions and a rethinking of old ideas.

Oil-manicure

A beautiful nail design, the photo of which is mesmerizing, looks like an oil film on the nails. This completely new and promising trend is called oil manicure. There are several ways to create it. The easiest option is to purchase a special gel polish for oil manicure. With an ultraviolet lamp, this varnish can be applied at home.

The second way to create an oil-manicure is more economical, but more difficult to execute.

After degreasing the surface of the nail and applying the base, 1 layer of metallized varnish is applied (preferably silver). When the varnish dries, a second layer of fine glitter varnish is applied. Separately, blue, green, yellow and pink varnishes are mixed on a stencil film. But they are not mixed to a homogeneous mass, but so that stains are obtained.

Then the mixture of colored varnishes is transferred from the film to the nail and covered with a fixative.

Crumpled foil effect

An extremely fashionable version of nail design is a crumpled manicure, in which the effect of crumpled foil is created on one or more nails.

The effect is achieved without the use of real foil:

1. White gel polish is applied unevenly to the base coat in the center of the nail.
2. A plastic film is applied on top, which was previously well crumpled, and pressed against the gel polish.
3. In this form, the varnish is dried, after which the film is removed.
4. A layer of metallized varnish is applied and dried.
5. The manicure is fixed.

Broken glass effect

Another fashion trend is the broken glass effect. This type of manicure is rapidly gaining popularity. It looks bright and festive, but at the same time it is simple to perform. All that is required to create the effect of broken glass is to stick pieces of foil on a regular monophonic manicure before applying the final coat.

Pieces of foil should have a clear geometric shape without rounding, then they will look like real shards.

Liquid stones

This is an original option for a festive manicure. Unlike rhinestones, which can come off, liquid stones are stronger, lighter and last longer. You can decorate in this way 1 or 2 fingers on the hand. To apply this design on all nails is too much.

To create liquid stones, you will need:

• gel varnishes of different colors;
• manicure foil;
• thin brush;
• Ultraviolet lamp.

A manicure foil, cut in the shape of the future stone, is glued to the wet coating of the nail. The nail is dried under a UV lamp, after which the foil comes off abruptly. This creates a brilliant foundation for the future stone. The contour of the stone is applied with a thin brush with dark varnish.

Further, the contour is filled with color or a combination of colors.

When the outline and color of the stone is dry, a transparent sculpting gel is applied over them and sent under a UV lamp. A beautiful nail design, a photo of which will collect many likes on Instagram, may not work the first time. If it is not at all possible to master this technique on your own, then you can always entrust your hands to the master.

Mirror coating

This manicure has become a party hit in 2019. Mirror or chrome manicure is performed both in a single color and in combination with any other design... A monochromatic mirror manicure is performed using any gel polish with a mirror shine. It is recommended to apply it in 2 coats and cover with a gloss-enhancing finish.

If the chrome finish is applied to another nail art, then you can use a mirror powder. To obtain a mirror effect, the powder is rubbed into the dried manicure. But this only works on a completely flat surface. That is, it will not be possible to apply mirror shine to volumetric nail art.

Veil

This sleek evening manicure looks like nails covered in a guipure veil... It is not difficult to create such a manicure, but it looks very elegant. To make a "veil" on the nails, you need to apply a translucent beige gel polish to the base coat and cover it with a blackened finish - a mixture of topcoat and black varnish, where 5 parts of the finish account for 1 part of varnish.

After the finish is dry, apply the pattern with black varnish.

Other popular effects

In 2019, craquelure - "cracking varnish" suddenly returned to fashion. It can be applied to a single-color coating, but it looks especially interesting on a gradient background. Iridescent cat-eye varnish is still popular. Marble and velvet coverings do not go out of fashion.

The use of micro-beads and rhinestones will look modern. At the peak of popularity are mosaics of large sequins, a lacquer glowing in the dark, as well as "space manicure", which is a gradient in blue-violet tones with small sparkles.

Classic French manicure

Classic French manicure - beige or pink nail and white tip - now looks boring and somewhat old-fashioned. But it's not difficult to modernize it: you just need to complicate the design a little. For example, you can add rhinestones and liquid stones. The latter look especially impressive with classic French manicure.

Another option, how to make the classics modern, is to apply a trendy "veil" on 1 or 2 nails.

But the easiest way is to use custom colors according to the standard scheme. For example, make the tip of the nail black, red, anything, but not white. The nail itself does not have to be nude shades either: black, blue golden - any harmonious combination will look relevant.

Color Combination Cheat Sheet:

French with gold

A jacket with gold will look very modern if the gold has a mirror shine. The option closest to the classic jacket is a beige-pink nail with a mirror-like gold tip... It looks pretty calm, but falls into the trend of mirror nails. With such a manicure, you can go not only to a party, but also to the office. It will not look shocking.

If you want to make the image brighter, then you can completely cover 1 or 2 nails with mirror gold.

The combination of matte and mirror gold in French manicure will look fashionable and spectacular. A mirrored nail with a matte tip is a party favorite, and a matte nail with a mirrored tip is perfect for everyday manicure. A bolder option is a combination of mirror gold with black, dark blue, burgundy and other dark colors.

This combination is quite contrasting. A dark nail with a gold tip will always look spectacular.

But a gold nail with a dark tip will look advantageous only if a mirror polish is also used for the tip. The combination of gold with bright and acidic colors makes it flashy. But this is not a reason to give it up. It is important to understand that such a manicure is a very bright accent that attracts attention, so the rest of the image should be restrainedly neutral.

Leopard print

Leopard design, like any other "predatory print", is good in moderation. To completely cover the nails with such a pattern is too much. But applying dark spots on 1 or 2 fingers over the golden varnish is very important. To make such a manicure in trend, you can add a mirror shine to it.

You can use metallic varnishes or mirror powder. In the second option, it may be necessary to apply the finish to the leopard decor several times to make the surface of the nail absolutely smooth and suitable for rubbing in mirror powder.

Zebra design

Another variant of the "predatory print" on the nails is the "Zebra" manicure. The original version is black stripes on a white background. The drawing is applied with a thin brush over the dried varnish and fixed with a finish. This print can be diluted with a French manicure: a nail decorated with "Zebra" in combination with a black tip.

The inversion looks no less interesting - white stripes on a black background.

But modern trends prescribe a departure from the classics. Zebra designs can be more than just black and white. Just like craquelure, zebra stripes can be applied to a colored varnish or gradient. The stripes themselves are not necessarily black. They can be silver, blue, burgundy, whatever. But the rejection of black creates a color matching problem.

Stripes should be in contrast to the main color. Otherwise, they will merge, and the decor will become indistinguishable. A beautiful nail design, a photo of which looks interesting from a close distance, will work if metallized and matte shades of the same color are used for the background and stripes. But from a distance, such a picture will not be readable.

Barbie manicure

Barbie manicure is suitable for teenage girls. For those who are older, you can adapt it a little. For example, use a calmer pink instead of a bright Barbie color. A good solution would be to use a gradient from nude pink at the base of the nail, to a “Barbie color” at the tip.

Another trendy Barbie decor option is a classic jacket with a hot pink nail tip.

Barbie's manicure itself is quite bright and self-sufficient, you should not overload it with decor. But if you really want to, it is better to use small rhinestones or sparkles on several nails as decoration. You can use 1-2 pictures on nails, but not together with rhinestones, but instead of them.

Knitted manicure

Knitted manicure looks very cozy and home-like. It involves the application of a volumetric pattern imitating knitting. There are several options for this decor. Background color and decor color may be the same or different.Even if you want to make a monochromatic knitting, it is still recommended to take a slightly lighter varnish for the pattern than for the base.

This can be achieved by mixing the base varnish with a small amount of white varnish.

It is desirable that the varnish be thick, this will create the required volume.It is better to take a matte varnish to imitate the texture of the fabric. You can make the decor more velvety with acrylic powder. It must be applied before the decor dries. Light knitted manicure looks beautiful in the first days. But, like any voluminous decor, it gets dirty over time.

Therefore, in order for such a decor to last longer, it is better to choose darker varnishes.

Black and white nail design

Black and white manicure is not limited to the Zebra print. Absolutely any decor can be presented in black and white.

The most relevant options for 2019-2020 will be:

• black and white minimalism;
• monochrome flowers;
• strips;
• points;
• lunar monochrome;
• black and white veil.

Minimalism involves several subtle black stripes on a white background or white on black. The stripes can be either parallel or intersecting. For such a decor, it is better to use matte varnishes so that glare does not distract from the picture. Monochrome flowers can be performed with both matte and glossy varnishes.

the image of a flower can take up the entire nail if it is located on one or two fingers. Otherwise, the Small Flower is best placed in the upper or lower corner of each nail.

Black and white stripes should be the same width, no more than a couple of millimeters. Stripes that are too wide can make your nails look like a traffic police wand. Stripes can be applied horizontally, vertically or obliquely. In any case, the predominance of black or white should not be felt, the stripes should be approximately equal.

Black dots on a white background or white on black are applied at the base of the nail and repeat the outline of the nail hole. At the edges of the nail, the points are small. They increase towards the center. You can apply 2 rows of these dots per nail. Not all nails should be decorated with this decor. It is better to use matt varnish.

For example, the nails of the thumb, forefinger and little finger are painted black, and a white background and black dots are applied to the nails of the ring and middle fingers.

Lunar monochrome assumes a white nail with a black hole. Monochrome veil, vice versa, paints the nail with a translucent black color closer to the tip, and white decor at the base.

Nail art with rhinestones

Rhinestones in nail design do not lose their relevance from the moment they appeared. Only the way they are placed on the nails is changing.

The most relevant nail art with rhinestones for 2019-2020:

• Small or medium-sized rhinestones are located at the base of the nail. This decor can decorate all nails or only 1-2.
• 1 hand nail is completely covered with rhinestones.
• A strip of large rhinestones divides the nail diagonally.

The nail is split diagonally and half is sprinkled with fine to medium rhinestones.

Caviar manicure

Caviar manicure has appeared relatively recently. It is created using small broths that look like eggs. The color of the broths can be the same or different from the base varnish. In 2019-2020, it is equally important to apply caviar manicure to all fingers or to highlight only a few of them.

A relatively young trend is the lunar caviar manicure. With this decor, broths are not applied to the entire nail, but only to the hole.

Velvet manicure

Velvet or sugar manicure is the trend of this year. The velvety effect is achieved with acrylic powder. It is easy to use. For "smooth" nails, it is applied before the coating dries and gives it a matte finish and depth. A beautiful design of nails, a photo of which will be like from fashion shows, will work if you make a velvet voluminous manicure.

The method of application is a little more complicated: after the background coating has dried, a pattern is applied with a thicker varnish and sprinkled with powder.

Newspaper design

Newspaper manicure is an original coating that is created by transferring text from newsprint to the nails... There are two techniques for applying newspaper manicure. The nails are covered with a base and a single-color matte varnish, which will be the background. It is advisable to take a light background so that the decor is clearly visible.

The newspaper is cut into thin pieces, slightly larger than a nail.

Each piece is soaked in alcohol for a couple of seconds, after which it is applied to the nail for half a minute and wiped with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. A piece of newspaper is carefully removed from the nail with tweezers so as not to smear the printed letters. The nail is covered with a fixative.

The second method is only suitable for fresh newspapers. A piece of newspaper is placed on the nail, covered with base and background varnish, and a cotton swab, abundantly moistened with alcohol, is placed on top. After half a minute, the tampon can be removed along with the newspaper, and the printed letters can be covered with a fixer.

To make a newspaper manicure more interesting, you can burn the newspaper a little and transfer not only the text, but also the scorched area to the nail.

Moon manicure

Lunar manicure is an inversion of French manicure, only it is not the tip of the nail that stands out in a contrasting color, but the hole - a light semicircle at the base of the nail. The moon manicure is as elegant as the French one.

And to make it also fashionable, you need to take into account modern trends:

• decoration with monograms and rhinestones;
• triangular, trapezoidal or rectangular hole;
• a combination of lunar and French manicure;
• a smooth transition from a nude hole to a bright tip;
• Matt lacquer;
• mirror rubbing;
• sequins;
• a combination of moon and marble manicure;
• dotted framing of the hole;
• volumetric decor.

You can refresh the look with one trendy element, or you can add a combination of them. The main thing is not to overdo it.

Water design

Water-based nail designs - blurry patterns created with water. For such a manicure, light liquid varnishes are well suited, which will spread over the surface of the water. Heavy or glitter varnishes will not stick to the surface and will go straight to the bottom. It is recommended to cover those nails on which water manicure is planned with white varnish.

Even a light, low-contrast pattern will be clearly visible against its background. The skin around the nail should be covered with liquid tape to easily remove excess nail polish.

To apply water manicure, you need to take a glass of water and drip varnish into the water. When the drop spreads over the surface, drop a varnish of a different color into the center of the drop. Continue until the number of strips seems sufficient. After that, dip your finger into the varnish spot. Keep the nail parallel to the surface of the water.

As soon as the drawing is stuck to the nail, you need to remove the excess varnish with a toothpick and pull your finger out of the water. After that, remove the varnish from the skin around the nail and cover with a finish.

The second method of applying water-based manicure is that the varnish spot dries completely (this takes about half an hour). Now it can be taken out of the water, cut into pieces and glued to the nail with clear varnish.

Marble nail design

The most fashionable type of water manicure in 2019-2020 is marble design. To create it, it is enough to spray hairspray into a drop of varnish in water until it dries. Then dip the nail into the water. The classic combination for marble manicure is black varnish on a white background., but other colors can be used.

The only rule is that a lighter color should be used as a background, since a light pattern will appear poorly on a dark background.

As for the color combination for marble manicure:

1. Black and white go with everything else.
2. Marble design looks good in monochrome: light and dark shades of the same color.

Drawings on nails

Drawings on the nails are made with a thin brush and contrasting varnish.

You can make the most fashionable drawings of this year yourself:

• Dot design - the nail is decorated with a scattering of multi-colored or monochromatic dots.
• Small and sophisticated floral ornaments (flowers, leaves).
• Drawings from geometric shapes.

All these ornaments can be made both everyday - restrained and in calm colors, and festive - bright, neon with the addition of rhinestones.

Smileys design

Smiley design means that one or more nails have a smiling face. It can be just eyes and a smile drawn on the nail, or it can be a print depicting a smiling face. Among the stickers, emojis and minions are especially popular. The design with skulls will look original.

For long nails, there is an option to place a smiley on the tip. This way you can cover all your nails with smileys with different emotions and not overdo it.

Aquarium design

The aquarium design turns the nail into a kind of vessel in which glitter, feathers and other volumetric elements are placed, or just patterns on the surface of the nail. This design is usually done on extended nails, but there are also more modest options for natural ones.

Glitter, rhinestones, neon elements and acrylic modeling over the aquarium nail are especially fashionable this season.

Acrylic modeling on nails

Decorating the nail with voluminous stucco molding is suitable for the holidays. In ordinary life, such decor makes the nail heavier and can be inconvenient. If you don't want to give up stucco on your nails, you can try decor with a crumpled foil effect. It is very popular in 2019. Such decor does not "rise" much above the surface of the nail, so the probability of chipping it is minimal.

The decor in the form of liquid stones, although it looks festive, can be used for everyday manicure, it holds well and does not cause discomfort.

3D design

3D design combines all the ideas of volumetric manicure: acrylic sculpting, aquarium design, knitted manicure and designs with rhinestones and liquid stones. These directions will be popular for a long time. The task of 3D design is to create a three-dimensional pattern on the nails. The surface of this pattern can be smooth when the entire pattern is hidden under the aquarium design.

Or it may remain embossed, as with acrylic modeling and knitted designs. But the embossed surface is more prone to chips and damage!

Chinese painting

Chinese painting involves the application of flowers to the nails using a specific technique. This technique was used by Chinese painters on parchment. Bright and graceful flowers add femininity to the image. This painting is best obtained on long nails. It goes well with aquarium design.

Nail design with a photo printer

Relatively recently, a service of nail design using a photo printer has appeared. Similar printers are used to print designs on souvenir products. Using the printer, you can apply Chinese painting, emoticons, pictures of barbies, and any other drawing.

A beautiful picture can bring a nail design to life. Even interesting photos can be used as drawings., but it is better that they are black and white, it will look more contrast. It is important that this pattern is not distorted when applied to nails and is distinguishable in miniature.

Choosing the color of varnish for the image

Gone are the days when nail polish had to match the color of some element of clothing. Now it is recommended to focus on the luminosity of the image and shades when choosing a varnish. Luminosity refers to the brightness of colors. If the image is recognized in pastel colors, then a bright or dark varnish will be inappropriate.

But for a dark look, bright varnish will be an excellent accent. Conversely, a bright look can be balanced with a deep dark manicure. Focusing on shades means that the varnish should overlap in color with one of the elements of the image: not coincide, but be a different shade of the same color.

The best manicure ideas for every day, wedding, holidays

From modern trends, the best ideas for everyday manicure can be: a jacket with gold, moon manicure, water and marble manicure, knitted and newspaper designs, Chinese painting and decor in the form of crumpled foil. Mirror and oil-manicure, rhinestones and acrylic modeling, “predatory” prints, monograms and painting are most suitable for the holidays.

For children's parties, Barbie manicure and emoticons are good. The best solution for a wedding would be an aquarium manicure. If you combine it with acrylic modeling on nails, you get a beautiful design, the photo of which will remind you of an important event for a long time.
