• Laying out rhinestones along the line of the moon manicure, at the cuticle, adding them to the elements of the drawings (twigs, butterflies, flowers), iridescent geometric or any other shapes, depending on the fantasy of the master. Sometimes in designs, rhinestones are framed with broths: they place the right accents and make the layout more neat.
• Royal inlay. An even line of rhinestones is laid out in a continuous line from the beginning of the growth of the nail plate to its end, while you can use both monochromatic stones and several of their colors that go well with the red base.
• Glitter designs can be both classic (stretching, shiny jacket, moon manicure), and the most trendy, for example, an aquarium design, when glitter with large glitters is laid out along with mica on a thin base layer in the area of ​​the free edge of the nail. After that, it is overlaid with a topcoat so that the glitter is colorless on a transparent background.
• Combine solid glitter-covered nails with solid red nails. Fine glitter can be added for hand-painted detailing, geometry output, or mixed with pigments to create a shiny new finish.
• Continuous laying of rhinestones and stones throughout the nail plate. The main thing here is to choose the right color and size of rhinestones and stones used for this.

• Guipure jacket with openwork monogram drawings. Such a manicure is contraindicated only if the nail plate itself is too wide.
• A triangular moon manicure is a popular reverse french technique this season. The base should be pastel or nude, and the holes themselves should be classic white, red or glitter.
• A matched jacket, when 2 colors are selected to draw a smile line, for example, red and white.

In the summer, nail designs have a corresponding direction.

• Combining red with bright neon: it can be either a continuous painting of one or more fingers in an unusual color, or individual shapes, drawings or lines with neon paints.
• Stamping allows you to bring to life almost any idea, which is why it has become so popular lately.
• Another interesting design is broken glass. On a red background, it always looks advantageous and stylish. For such a decor, it is better to choose a holographic foil, as it shimmers well when turning the nails.
• Combining scarlet nails with rubbing on several nails. This design is not suitable for those women who work a lot with their hands, as the rubbing is quickly erased from the ends and wastes its original look.
• Another trend this summer is cartoon characters (Minnie and Mickey Mouse, Spiderman), fruits that come to life (for example, a dancing avocado) and other unusual designs that are often applied to the thumbnail.
• Fruit in a cut - a variant of a summer manicure. This design is complemented by chaotic stripes and liquid contrasting flakes.

• Modeling with plasticine gel allows you to add realistic flowers, butterflies, berries and other volumetric elements to the design of red nails.
• Manicure with sandy velvet on the little finger and nameless nails. Small iridescent particles of velvet flicker differently when changing lighting. This design is suitable for special occasions and for everyday wear.
