Delicate manicure 2018-2019: design ideas

What drawings are in fashion

Fashion trends in the world of nail art have never been consistent. Every season, completely different techniques and designs become the “favorites” of fashionistas. What drawings were awarded this title in 2020?

• The undoubted leader has become the minimalist style in manicure design. Elegant and laconic designs are a wonderful decoration for the nails of a girl with impeccable taste.

• Geometry in nail art continues the idea of ​​stylish simplicity and rigor. This design can be embodied with a charming “polka dot” pattern, abstract lines and geometric shapes.

• In the spring-summer season, beautiful flowers begin to bloom on the nails of all fashionistas in the country. Absolutely any floristry is trending: unopened buds, various flowers, leaves, twigs and tropical plants.

• Various patterns join these trends. The top features ethnic and lace motifs.

• Animal art is not far behind: the leopard familiar to you from previous seasons is joined by various animal images. They may differ in realism or be emphatically sketchy.

The most delicious and original this season will be “edible” drawings. Amazingly natural strawberries, ice cream, various fruits and sweets - this and much more can become an extraordinary accent in your manicure.

White nails: new manicures with rhinestones and elegant sparkles

It is advisable to highlight the discreet, modest, elegant white color through decoration. These can be drops of rhinestones that will make a bright, noble accent on the design, especially if it is a wedding manicure. If, in your opinion, white is too modest and inconspicuous, then sparkles can easily add a bit of glamor. These nails look chic, but at the same time they are not vulgar and obscene. You can apply bright, catchy glitter to one or two nails and draw a subtle and delicate pattern. An equally interesting option would be a French or moon manicure, in which the base of the nail is covered in white, and the lunula or French manicure itself is made in a shiny motif.

Tools

• To draw dots in the design, you can use a variety of tools - a toothpick, dots, sewing needle, bobby pin or ballpoint pen. With the help of simple circles you can create a stylish polka dot print, an interesting ornament and cute flowers.

• Simple stationery tape will be a lifesaver when you need to create stylish geometric patterns or designs with clear color boundaries.

• Some trendy designs with patterns look especially beautiful on a gradient background. Creating this impressive effect is as easy as shelling pears - you just need to apply the varnishes to the sponge and imprint them on your nails. The same tool is useful in shading the pigment.

• If you're serious about it, invest in a set of manicure brushes. The dotted version can be used to draw small details, the liner will ideally draw thin lines, the flat brush is indispensable for making three-dimensional drawings, the fan brush will create a beautiful background, and the “petal” type is ideal for Chinese painting.

• If you wish, you can add acrylic paints for nail design to your collection of tools. They boast excellent durability, affordable prices and rich colors. Varnishes are inferior in quality to acrylic paints, so they are suitable only for elementary compositions.

Acrylic drawings

• Various decors will help make the finished drawing more impressive: rhinestones, beads, bouillons, foil, decorative sand, glitter, mica, velvet and stickers.

Unusual design using foil

• A corrective pencil is a real superman, saving your manicure from minor errors and unevenness. Its tip is soaked in nail polish remover, so it gently adjusts the design.

A girl at this age should give up images of cartoons, cherries and ladybugs on her nails. But flowers, butterflies and bows can be great decorations, especially when used with sparkles and rhinestones.

It is preferable to leave bright colors and designs for holidays or themed parties (New Year, Halloween, birthday in a certain style), where they will be more appropriate.
