5 fashion trends of 2019 in nail design for the New Year
Manicure is an important detail of the image. Modern trends in this direction are quite different and can satisfy the tastes of a wide variety of women, without limiting their fantasies and without obliging them to anything. And yet, there are several main trends, popular trends in the design, shape and length of nails.
A manicure for the New Year 2019 can be bright, original and even ironic. And yet, even the most chic nail design should be in demand.
Next year, medium-length nails with rounded, close-to-natural contours will be in fashion. Sharp, square and other pretentious shapes are losing relevance.
The nail plates can have an oval, rounded-almond or rounded-square shape, ideally repeating the shape of the hole. At the same time, on New Year's Eve you can break all the rules and canons, ignore trends and get your nails done in a shape that you have long dreamed of but were afraid to try.
2019 is the year of the Yellow Earthen Pig according to the eastern calendar widespread in our country. The patron of the year is believed to bring good luck in money matters and adores elegance and brilliance. Therefore, one of the leading trends will be yellow or shiny gold manicure.
Gold is one of the most festive colors. Gold can be sparkles, glitter, shimmer, pieces of foil or film, sand or coating with the texture of liquid gold.
You can cover your nails completely with gold varnish, highlight only 1 or 2 elements, make several stripes, apply a design to a surface of a different color, paint over the holes, or make a gold jacket. The best background for gold would be matte wine, burgundy, black, or chocolate.
And yet the hottest trend will be a yellow manicure. Manufacturers of classic and gel polishes offer many shades of yellow, from pastel light to neon, from lemon to orange. For New Year's manicure 2019, you can choose a polish with a cold or warm undertone.
Cool shades will go well with the blue palette, turquoise, aquamarine, and purple. Warm shades harmonize with red tones, pink, and orange. Yellow goes well with equally trendy shades of green, brown and beige in 2019. A combination of yellow with white or black, glossy or matte will look impressive. The yellow color can be different - glossy, matte, pearlescent or with a holographic effect.
Correctly selected yellow goes well with gold or silver, white glitter. Often yellow shades act as a backdrop for summer scenes - butterflies, dragonflies and flowers. In winter, the equally common lemons with voluminous droplets, geometric and abstract motifs, New Year's themes - Christmas tree decorations, licorice sticks, etc. will look more appropriate.
The use of various accessories and decorative elements has never been more in demand than when decorating a manicure for the New Year. 1, 2 or 3 nails with rhinestones and sparkles, glitter, liquid stone, foil, crystals, pigments with a mirror effect, chrome, prism, metallic shine will look elegant, but not excessively.
You can decorate the elements of the design with rhinestones or sparkles, lay out an ornament directly from them, or cover the nail plate completely with them. Many craftsmen are familiar with such decorative techniques as inlay.
Decorated nails are combined with a plain or French manicure. In this case, the color of the edge of the nail plate and the base background for decorative elements may match or be in contrast. For a New Year's manicure, to cover the free nail plates, bright shellac (trend yellow, red, green, blue) is suitable, and as a background for decoration you can choose paler shades of the same colors or basic ones - white, black, beige, etc.
A traditional New Year's trend is nail design using a red palette. Red New Year's manicure in 2019 can be plain or decorated. A single-color varnish can be matte, glossy, magnetic, with shimmer, or have an unusual texture.
All shades of red are trending: burgundy, wine, scarlet, etc. The traditional winter combination of red and white will be in fashion again. Swedish patterns and imitation knitting are used as decoration. But the most spectacular motifs for New Year’s manicure in these colors are snowflakes, Christmas tree decorations, snowmen, gifts, etc.
New Year's manicure ideas in French style
A classic delicate French manicure with a white edging on the edge of the nail plate is an excellent solution for the New Year's holiday. It will look harmonious with any outfit, has many design options, and is suitable for nails of various lengths and shapes.
For the New Year, you can make a straight, reverse semicircular or geometric jacket, simple or combined with patterns or accessories.
French can be supplemented with decorative elements. So, the edging can be done with colored varnish, gold or silver, white with shimmer or glitter, use mirror pigment, degradation effect, etc. Ideas for a French jacket with a pattern are also interesting. These can be New Year's balls, candies, Christmas trees, ribbons, snowflakes, snowmen, carnival masks, Santa Claus and other motifs suitable for the occasion.
For the New Year 2019, you can choose red, yellow, green, chocolate colors for a jacket, as well as pink, silver, gold, and blue shades. French manicure is combined with moon manicure.
Ideas for beautiful manicure with drawings
You can do a holiday manicure at home. There are many stylish solutions and simple techniques that allow you to create a beautiful manicure yourself on nails of any length. To decorate your nails, you can use a simple pattern, stickers or stamp designs.
The most common New Year's motif is snowflakes. The easiest way is to draw 1 large snowflake on 1-2 nails. You can use stickers or a thin paintbrush. You can choose red, black, blue or dark green varnish for the background.
Pastel shades - blue, purple, lavender - will look no worse. Snowflakes go well with a French jacket. For the New Year 2019, snowflakes are painted with white, with various effects, or with silver varnish. Instead of snowflakes, you can depict New Year's balls, stylized Christmas trees or snowmen.
Another easy-to-perform New Year's manicure is gold. To create it, apply varnish with golden sparkles onto a transparent base and carefully shade it. This coating can be applied only to the tips of the nails, imitating a French manicure, but with a degrading effect, or it can completely cover only some nails.
Instead of glitter, you can use gold shimmer or sand. It is permissible to replace gold with silver decor or white varnish with glitter. As a base, you can choose colored varnish with a glossy or matte top.
New Year's design options for short nails
A manicure for short nails is not much different from that for long nails. Modern technologies make it possible to create any designs and decorative compositions on short nail plates.
In the New Year 2019, the trend is bright, rich and even dark colors on short nails: black, dark brown, burgundy, wine, dark green or blue, etc. A design using white, gold or silver varnish will look good. The coating can be glossy, matte, shimmering and even textured.
You can use manicure foil for decoration or French manicure. 1-2 nails can be accentuated using textured decor, pattern or color. You can also use stickers with thematic designs, including ironic ones - everything is allowed in the New Year.
The best shape for short nail plates is a natural oval, smooth almond-shaped, rounded square.
What limitations does short nail length create when it comes to design? Drawings have to be made smaller. Perhaps this will make working on nail art more painstaking, but experienced manicurists can handle this difficulty.
Glitter, sequins or rhinestones

You can do without art. A jar of loose glitter will put an end to thinking about what to paint on your nails for the New Year 2020. After all, you can always “sprinkle” your nails with sparkles to make them shimmer, adding a groovy disco-style mood to your New Year’s look, or create an elegant gradient using shimmering particles. And rhinestones, carefully glued to the cuticle, will provide even the most discreet manicure with a festive look.

If your soul still asks for drawings, choose those that are simpler so that they fit exactly on the nail plates with a small “area”. Let it be snowflakes, holiday confetti, Christmas trees (follow), pine branches, snowmen with carrot noses, or something else. You can come up with a limitless number of options. But it’s better to decorate one or two nails on each hand with them, otherwise the nail art may turn out to be overloaded.

In your New Year's manicure, combine varnishes of different textures - for example, gold metallic with classic “cream” red. The contrast between them will be the expressive basis of nail art and will definitely attract attention, distracting from the short length of the nails.

Of course, French manicure looks best on medium-length and long nails, but owners of short ones should not be denied this fashionable pleasure. Especially when it comes to holiday manicure! There is only one rule: do not highlight the edge of the nail with dark varnish and do not make it too wide, otherwise the nail plate will appear even smaller. Our suggestion: decorate the edge of the nail with silver or gold glitter or shimmer - simple, beautiful and festive.

Confetti
Crumbly bright circles will help out if there is very little time left before the start of the New Year's party, and the manicure is not ready. Just place a little confetti at the cuticle: even a nude manicure will immediately turn into a festive one.

Decorations
What if you don’t know how to paint on your nails at all, but you really want to create an original New Year’s nail design? There is a simple way out: decorate several nails with a single-color varnish, and glue ready-made decorative decorations onto the rest. These are sold in regular craft stores or professional nail salons.

Focus on the cuticle
