Actual form of nails

All the girls who follow fashion already realized that in 2018, at the peak of popularity, naturalness in everything, including manicure. Therefore, the oval or amygdala shape of the nail plate remains relevant. And if last year short marigolds were in trend, now they can be longer.

Red and all its shades, as well as gold, are still relevant.

French manicure

Due to its simplicity and versatility, the jacket today is loved by many girls. In 2018, designers proposed to diversify it. Now the edge of the nail plate can be not only white. If you are not afraid to experiment, feel free to paint it in any color that will contrast with the shade of the base. The edging can be red, blue, green, yellow, purple or gold.

The rainbow jacket looks spectacular. Creating it, each nail can be painted a new color. As an option, create an ombre effect on your nails. This not only focuses on your manicure and sets you apart from the crowd, but also brings a certain twist to the image, emphasizing your originality.

Moon manicure

Like French, lunar manicure belongs to the category of universal. It successfully combines with any clothes and will be relevant in any situation. Pi soft pastel colors can be replaced with bright and rich colors.

Negative design

One of the most popular in 2018 promises to be a negative space manicure in technology. Its feature is the non-painted part of the nail plate. However, it can be quite large.

If previously the hole or edge of the nail remained mostly not painted over, then now it can be a rectangle or any other figure in the center of the nail plate.

Ombre

This is not the first season among the leading design options in nail art is the ombre. We are used to the fact that in such a manicure a smooth transition is made from one shade to another within the same color scheme. In 2018, a combination of contrasting shades will be more relevant. For example, black and red, violet and pink, etc. If you choose similar tones for ombre, then they must be bright. For example, coral and hot pink.

 

Geometric design

One of the relevant design options in 2018 will be geometric manicure. Its highlight was the decoration of the nail plate with geometric patterns. However, they do not have to be perfectly flat. Randomly applied to the nails, the picture will look no less stylish.

 

Using geometric patterns in a manicure will surely attract you attention. To carry out it is not necessary to buy special devices. It is enough to stock up with a toothpick, a thin brush or use tape.

Popular nail art

In the spring-summer period, the manicure should be as bright and catchy as possible. All sorts of drawings applied to the nail will achieve this effect.

What drawings will be relevant? First of all, it is, of course, natural motifs (flowers, insects, birds, etc.).

If you want something more restrained, use an openwork mesh. Such drawings will look easy and elegant.

Sand design

Not so long ago, fashionistas got acquainted with the sandy design of manicure. In 2018, it will be especially relevant. Special sand can not only completely cover the entire nail, but also create various patterns.

Decorating nails with sand involves the use of a variety of shades. It may be present in the varnish or be dry. Using it is quite simple. You just need to sprinkle a small amount of sand on the just painted base and lay down to press it. Additional use of top or fixing varnishes is not required.

But remember that you need to remove sand from the nails very carefully, otherwise it can damage them.

Matte manicure

The matte finish of the nails seems to have lingered for a long time in nail art. You can make it in pastel colors or bright colors. The matte finish looks good in lunar and French designs. A special highlight in this case is the combination of contrasting shades.

Glossy designs look original on a matte surface.

Cat Eye Manicure

The “cat's eye” design attracts attention with its brilliance. To create such a manicure, you need to purchase a special varnish and magnet. After covering the nail with such varnish, a magnet quickly rises to them. As a result, you get a special pattern, the illusion of a cat's eye.

Manicure with rhinestones

And, of course, where in the summer without shiny rhinestones? For this, glitter, rhinestones and pebbles of any size and color can be used. Each nail can be decorated with them, and can be used to highlight 1-2 accent fingers. In this case, the main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the manicure will look vulgar.

Rhinestones can be used to decorate the hole or edge of the nail plate. And you can lay them any patterns on the nail.

For those who are not afraid to experiment, 2018 provides an excellent opportunity to express their personality with manicure.
