If earlier on the shelves of cosmetic stores dedicated to the beauty of nails there were only bottles with multi-colored varnishes, now the range of manicure products has expanded significantly. Fashionistas can buy rhinestones (large and small, metallic and multi-colored), films and holographic foil, sliders and even kamifubuki. From this article you will not only learn the meaning of all these tricky words, without which fashionable manicure 2019 simply won’t happen, but also learn how to decorate your nails with all the fashionable features of next year.
Fashionable manicure with Kamifubuki
In simple terms, this is just confetti for nails. As you can easily guess from the name, this fashionable feature was invented by the Japanese. If you want to be on trend this winter, be sure to get a manicure with this colored “mosaic”!
It's simple: paint your nails with a regular transparent “base” or any colored varnish, then cover them with confetti. If desired, kamifubuki can be applied not to all 10 nails, but, say, only to the middle and ring ones.
You can sprinkle your marigolds either in the form of free fireworks or in a specific pattern (for example, you can “draw” a hole, a heart, a flower using confetti).
Fashionable nail design "Rub"
This unromantic name hides a truly luxurious manicure idea. When applying varnish, you need to rub polyester powder into its layer (this procedure explains the name of the product itself). Powder can be different both in the size of the “pebbles” and in color. It is sold with metallic, mirror, mother-of-pearl, prism effects - there are a lot of options.
Fashionable manicure with powder - 2019
Did you think it only existed for cheeks? In 2019, it can also be applied to nails. But of course, we are talking about a special manicure product. It should be used to create individual accents. For example, she can simply “matte” the nail. But if you have imagination, you will be able to create three-dimensional patterns from powder, both plain and colored (geometric, fantasy - you can help yourself with templates). Or you can play with contrast by applying white powder to the colored varnish.
People often think about powder when creating a “knitted” manicure. This product also fits well into the ombre technique - it is applied to the color transition zone.
Airbrush
If you have a special nail tool at your service - an airbrush, you will have the opportunity to create designs with smooth transitions from light to dark shades, and dark to light. This gun with spray function controls the range of paint application, so it will allow you to make even miniature lines.
Patterns can be gradient (a combination of the most delicate colors), simple (contrasting), and also quite complex and realistic. And it doesn’t matter what length your “claws” are, whether they are extended or natural - the manicure will be successful in any case.
Fashionable manicure - 2019: Negative space
The “business card” of last year’s fashion, which has carried over into 2019, is considered Negative space, or popularly – “naked nail”. The trick of this manicure is that the nail is not completely covered with the pattern/color.
For example, you can leave a transparent heart, diamond, stripe - or vice versa, apply a colored design on top of a transparent base. This nail bow goes with any outfit, and therefore is universal.
Craquelure
Most likely, you are already familiar with varnish that has a cracking effect (it is also called graffiti varnish). It's a pleasure to work with: apply it to your nails, wait until it dries - and the pattern is ready! And to make it more noticeable, you need to play on contrasts: for example, craquelure varnish Apply one color onto a “base” of another shade.
The most popular colors of this varnish are gold, white and black. However, in stores you can find bottles of graffiti paint and other shades.
If you want to make a particularly noticeable and original manicure, make the “base” colored (applying varnishes of all seven colors of the rainbow to your nails), and use modest, black graffiti. And for an evening out, the same black graffiti and gold base varnish are suitable - or vice versa, golden craquelure over varnish to match the dress.
As with the previous nail idea, in the case of craquelure, the length of the nails, as well as their naturalness, are unimportant.
Fashionable French nail design - 2019
First of all, the eternal classic – the French jacket – will be relevant. This stylish, neat look for your nails will probably never go out of style! However, in order not to remind yourself of last year, a French manicure can be done creatively - say, add new colors to it (colored French), turn it upside down ("hole"), decorate it with modeling, beads, rhinestones, a pattern, or choose a millennium, fan or decorative jacket IN pure form Such a manicure can only be found in strict office conditions.
Fashionable moon manicure - 2019
Let's talk separately about lunar manicure. It is fashionable because it is universal: it fits neatly under nails of any shape and length. The classic hole has a smooth line that follows the lunula - however, nothing prevents you from changing the width and roundness of the “moon”, or making it double or triangular. A black, soft pink, or golden hole on a red background looks cool. You can also combine textures: metallic and matte or glossy.
Fashionable manicure in nude style - 2019
Nail design looks very trendy this season nude style. If you are forced to obey a strict office dress code, do not be discouraged: in 2019 you will look no less fashionable with distinctly business-like natural nails. Short length, rounded shape, modest beige, brown, gray or even transparent varnish - and nothing more...
Wonderful simplicity, like in a boarding house for noble maidens, which only emphasizes your delicate taste and makes others pay attention to something else - your intelligence, sparkling humor, and, of course, beauty given by nature.
"Broken glass" - a stylish trend on nails - 2019
“Broken glass”, or the so-called glass manicure, is the fashionable opening of the season. To get this effect, buy special foil or holographic cellophane, cut them into sharp corners, and then apply them to your nails (either just one or its tip).
Fashionable nail design 2019: stylish geometry
Stylish geometry is the most fashionable trend of the coming season. Peas, diamonds, squares or triangles of all “calibers” can be freely placed on the nails, either alone or in combination with other patterns from a drawing notebook, and have blurry and clear boundaries. Fashionable ribbons will also fit well here - they can be removed by drawing the figure you are interested in, or left as decoration. An option for a geometric manicure is the fashionable division of the nail into squares or segments with sharp corners.
Fashionable nail design - 2019: patterns and stamping
Drawings on the nail plate have not gone out of fashion either. True, many girls neglect them, because they either do not know how to draw beautifully, or do not have enough time for this...
It's time to discover the stamping technique! Various kits are sold for this. Some apply “painting” to the nail, which you color yourself. Others immediately print a multi-colored pattern. Still others involve applying a pattern to an already painted nail (plain or ombre). Important point: do not skimp on varnishes, only high-quality materials give the salon effect of such a manicure.
Fashionable manicure - 2019 with Swarovski crystals
Sometimes a woman wants to shine in the truest sense of the word (especially at a special event). Decorate your nails with Swarovski crystals! And it doesn’t matter what the varnish is underneath or how long your nails are (or if they even have extensions). You will blow everyone away.
Ombre effect - 2019
You can also be the center of attention with the help of a mischievous “gradient”. Manicure with an ombre effect remains one of the most fashionable hits of the season. The word ombre comes from the French "ombre" and means stretching of color. The color of ombre manicure nails “plays” and smoothly changes shades from dark to light and vice versa. Using this technique, you can use several shades at once. In addition to it are various sparkles, which are randomly applied to the surface.
Marble nail design - 2019
Another trend for 2019 is marble nails. Natural shades of such a manicure look noble and mysterious, while more striking shades look bold, extremely fashionable and very individual. If you consider yourself a fashionista, do not ignore this nail bow!
Fashionable nail design - 2019 in Galaxy style
Galaxy is considered one of the most difficult techniques of the coming season. In general, anyone can create such a manicure, the main thing is to be patient and practice a little. This nail design is good for its uniqueness (even if you do a manicure together with a friend, you will create completely different designs). By adding more star dust, you will no longer make it daytime, but evening option manicure Choose any cosmic body or phenomenon: nebula, galaxy, meteor shower - and start shining. And looking at the finished nails, you just want to exclaim: fashion, you are just space!
Fashionable manicure with the "Cat's eye" effect - 2019

What nail polish colors should you look for in the store? First of all, gothic: black, dark gray, deep purple, dark blue, eggplant, graphite or deep plum - in general, everything that will make your nails a little sinister, bewitching, magical. You can mix several of the above listed varnishes in one manicure: for example, covering black marigolds with a dark plum pattern. You can bring a little sunshine into this “night” by adding a light semicircle on top of the nail (say, brown-gray on a black background).
Do you want it brighter? Choose gold or shimmering silver. They look expensive, seductive, catchy, elegant, and most importantly – fashionable. Having given yourself golden nails, you can forget about rings and other trinkets, because your main decoration will now be a manicure.
Fashionable manicure with tape - 2019
If you haven't heard of duct tape yet, catch up quickly. It is with its help that you can create a striped manicure, which is super popular in 2019 - and it doesn’t matter whether the lines are clear or not, thick or thin, painted in acidic or pastel colors. Scotch tape works well with both French and moon manicure. Unlike a stencil, the tape fits better, making the “smile” much neater.
"Combined French"
A combination of moon manicure and French manicure will look very beautiful. In this case, light semicircles are drawn both above and below the nail.
Nail shape - 2019
The fashionable shape of nails - 2019 adheres to natural shapes: “almond”, “square” with beveled corners and “oval”. With the help of these shapes, any lady's hands will look elegant and sophisticated. Neat, small nails can look just as beautiful and stylish as long ones, the most important thing is to decorate them correctly.
Manicure is a complex art. Almost every month there are new techniques that I want to try. Drawings, painting, various coatings... But sometimes you want to give up complex techniques and just paint your nails with a beautiful color of varnish.
Do it at home, depending on your mood, with regular varnish, which can be changed at least every day. And at an “appointment” with a nail technician, sometimes you like the color and texture of the varnish so much that you prefer it to all complex designs.
A plain, no-frills finish always remains in fashion. Every year fashion trends offer new color palettes and unusual textures, which allows a monochromatic manicure to remain desirable and interesting against the backdrop of hundreds of painting techniques.
Fashionable nail polish of 2018 is not just polish of certain colors. This year, it's not so much color that's in fashion, but rather texture and impact. There is a special type in the list of the most popular varnishes matte finish, variations of “sugar” varnish, as well as amazing shiny types of varnishes - mod metal, holographic and pearlescent.
The best part is that the fashionable series can be found both among regular nail polishes (which do not require polymerization in a UV lamp) and in gel polish collections.
Among polishes without effects, the trend will be pastel natural shades: from coffee beige to delicate neutral pink, light lilac and milky white. Choose these shades in gloss and enjoy the modest, but...
Fashionable matte polish: glass nail effect
Matte finish for gel polish, like Matt lacquer For home use, have not lost their popularity for many years. Matte nails look very aesthetically pleasing and appear soft and velor-like.
In 2018, technology has advanced further, and now matte varnish has different effects. Standard matte remains trendy, but the main hit of the year will be varnish with a rough glass effect. This polish looks amazing on your nails! The effect is achieved firstly by color, and secondly by a rougher matte finish.
To get “glass” nails in all their glory, use polish in nude shades: coffee beige, sand, cream, pink beige. When choosing a trendy coating, be prepared for light matte nails They get very dirty and need to be constantly wiped with alcohol or acetone solution.
Metallic effect: nail aesthetics trend 2018
To achieve incredible “metallic” nails, it is best to use special foil. But even among nail polishes you can find a suitable effect with a beautiful highlight. Shades of noble metals – gold and silver – are in fashion.
The tone of white gold looks especially beautiful on nails - soft golden with the addition of a gray tone, and rose gold - light golden with a pink tone. Metallic effect varnish goes well with regular glossy varnishes of similar shades.
You can combine glossy nails with metallic ones, or combine two types of polish directly on one nail. To create interesting combinations, choose geometric.
Colored varnish also looks great in metallics. In 2018, choose polishes in berry shades, bright lilac and “cosmic” colors - purple, blue, rich blue. The texture of a fashionable coating may differ, but metallic varnishes are good in both matte and glossy versions, as well as with different amounts of shining particles.
Chameleon varnish: fashionable play of colors
Varnish that changes color depending on the viewing angle is a fashion hit of 2018. It combines the beauty of varnish with a metallic effect and a special exotic richness of color. Crazy shimmers and color transitions are ideal for summer nail polish, although this trend will remain popular all year long.
Will be in fashion mainly dark colors: chameleons in green and green-gold colors; blue-violet, and also changing color from inky blue to dark turquoise. The combination of purple and green looks very nice.
Among the lines of current gel polishes you can find a coating with a spectacular color transition, but of a different kind. In the case of thermal varnishes, the color changes in a range of similar shades, or with an ombre effect. The transition depends on body temperature and the environment: thermo-varnish reacts to heat.
At the base of the nail, the polish will be the same color, because... will heat up from the body, and at the end of the nail - the other, because there the nail will always be cooler.
"Mirror" varnish
2018 never ceases to amaze with extravagant types of varnish. A unique coating with a rich mirror shine will be in fashion. Depending on the shade, the varnish will give either a mirror shine or a wet nail effect. Wonderful “water” varnish looks in light shades - white, light pink and blue.

A delicate combination of colors and a fabulous highlight are reminiscent of fantastic unicorns and multi-colored caramel at the same time - such a coating will definitely lift your spirits in any situation! By the way, this polish is suitable for very short nails.
Varnish with holographic effect
Another trendy polish with an unusual color shimmer effect. The refraction of light on shining particles of varnish gives a change of color in regular ovals, literally “scattering” across the nail under the sun’s rays. Looks very nice. Light silver shades of holographic varnishes can be used in the summer, and in winter you can choose varnishes in a blue tone.

Fashion trends
- Of course, classics will never go out of style. French and red manicures are considered classic in this area. Agree that such nails look neat and cute. But the world does not stand still, and every year and every season new fashion trends appear.
If earlier French manicure was performed in only one style - the tips of the nails were highlighted with white varnish, then at the moment it already has varieties:
"Millennium"– manicure, in which the tips of the nail plates are covered with glitter;
Color– there are two main options for its execution: the nail is covered with a colorless base, and the tip is highlighted in any color, or the nail is covered with a colored base, and the tip is highlighted in one or different contrasting shades;
"Fan"– in addition to manicure varnish, additional decorations are used: rhinestones, foil, etc.;
Non-standard– its distinctive feature is the unusual shape of the tip of the nail. If in a standard version it is a crescent, then in a non-standard version the tip can have the shape of a triangle, rhombus, circle, etc., it all depends only on your imagination.
- The opposite of French is "moon" manicure. Its feature is that the color accent is placed not on the tip of the nail, but on its base. The shades and types of products used can be any - it all depends on your taste preferences.
- Another hot trend this year is geometry, and combining several shades of varnish. They can be combined in any way you like, without the risk of making a mistake in your choice. The execution technology can also be different - transparent or colored varnish is used for the base, the design is done by any means - plain, holographic, neon and any other to your taste.
- A plain manicure can also be called classic in some sense.. Nails can be given any color, and varnishes of any shade and type can be used: matte, glossy, luminous.
- More and more firmly in fashion gradient manicure ,it is also called ombre. It can be assumed that the idea of its creation was inspired by the hair coloring technique with the same name. This manicure is performed with several varnishes in such a way that a smooth, or, conversely, sharp transition is created between them.
- Most fashion trend in manicure today is stamping (stamping). A distinctive feature of its application is that the design is not created manually by a master, but is imprinted using a special stamp directly onto the nail plate.
Using this technology, you can create a pattern of absolutely any complexity, even if you are not a very good artist.
- Mirror manicure is gradually gaining the attention of women. It makes your nails really sparkle. This effect is achieved using a special technique: the nail plate is rubbed with special pigments, powders and foil.
- A novelty this season is a frame manicure. It is not yet as famous and popular as all the previous ones, but that makes it no less effective and beautiful. Its peculiarity is that the nail plate is framed by one shade, and the rest of it is covered with a contrasting color. This manicure looks unusual and attractive.
- Patterned manicure preferred by many women. The technique of applying it is very diverse. For the basis of such a manicure, you can take several shades of varnish, and make the patterns whatever you want: geometric lines, smooth abstract patterns, or even draw flowers and animals.
No one forbids fashionistas from experimenting and combining various types and techniques in their manicure. For example, you can combine French manicure with moonlight, or manicure frame with gradient. Don't limit your imagination and desire to look beautiful.
In addition to the coating of the nail plate, its shape plays an important role. Today, the trend is naturalness and naturalness, so the shape of the nail should be oval or similar. As for the length, the long claws gradually fade into the background, giving way to short ones.
Palette of shades
Manicure should always be elegant and fashionable. With its types, everything is more or less clear. Now let's turn our attention to an equally important question: which colors are the most relevant today.
- Matte varnishes have long gained popularity. It is worth remembering that they are very finicky and the nail plate must be carefully prepared for their application, since any unevenness will only be emphasized when applying such a product.

Which to choose
There are so many different options for how to decorate your hands with a manicure that it is quite difficult to choose something specific. To choose your own manicure, indicate the parameters that are most important to you.
- Shape and length of nails. Today the trend is oval shape and average length. But if you are an ardent fan of pointed corners and are not ready to change their shape, then try to visually smooth out the sharp corners with french manicure. The rectangular shape looks great on long thin fingers, and in this case there is no need to change their shape. Oval visually lengthens it, which will be a big plus for those who cannot or do not want to grow their nails.
- Color. It should suit your image. You should not choose bright flashy shades if you adhere to strict classic look. However, monotony is no longer as relevant as before, so more and more often two or more matching colors are chosen for manicure.
But don't overload your manicure with too many colors. The right shade of nail polish will complete the look.
- Decorations. Decide what you would like to see on your hands as decorative elements. You may want to decorate them with rhinestones or beads, or perhaps you are only interested in patterns and designs. The main thing is to have jewelry in moderation so that your fingers do not look overloaded, otherwise your nails will immediately lose their natural appearance.
To avoid this, you can focus on only one finger; most often the ring finger is chosen for this. By the way, a vertical pattern visually lengthens even the shortest nails.
- Execution technique. Choose the design you like: French, moonlit, metallic, etc. It should be remembered that the design will be different for each season. This is explained by the fact that our images change with the onset of a warm or cold season.
- Care. Don't forget to properly care for your hands: remove overgrown cuticles and use hand cream.
It should be noted that a good and properly selected manicure will highlight your style. In addition, men like the neat design. They are unlikely to remember its color, but they will definitely remember their impression. By the way, the opinion that the stronger sex prefers ladies with long nails, erroneous. Most men consider long “claws” to be too vulgar and sharp, but the average length of the nail plate, in their opinion, is the most optimal.

- Using the same tweezers that were used to remove the cuticle, Gently remove rough skin around the nail. Using a nail file and special nippers give your nails the shape you want.
