A couple of unusual ideas for creative people
All ladies want to pick up this nail-art, which no one of my acquaintances has met. Fortunately, 2021 is rich in unusual, non-trivial trends that you can bring to life both in the salon and at home, on your own.
The easiest option, which can be done even at home, is to decorate it with one or two contrasting lines. But when you want something more interesting and more difficult, you cannot do without photo-inspiration from fashionistas from all over the world.
So what's trending this year?
First, horizontal or vertical go well with an interesting pattern.
For example, in the summer, it will be relevant to add geometry with a realistic image of a tropical bud or palm leaf. And in winter, you can find a place on one finger for a glitter ornament, and for a small snowflake or snowman.
What else can you combine a fashionable pattern with?
- Marbled - Draw lines of varying widths directly on top of the marble.
- With monograms that add up to abstract patterns or sketchy buds.
- With volumetric acrylic stucco molding, made in a single palette.
Sometimes the presence of several ornaments and decor at the same time can make the whole art clumsy and overloaded.
Therefore, it is important to choose the right shades of varnish - neutral is best.
Brightness sets the mood
With the onset of summer and autumn, the appearance of women becomes more colorful: moreover, not only the style of clothing changes, but also the requirements for the details of their image.
Therefore, most often it is impossible to do without knowledge of color. After all, the combined designs created from several interesting tones not only look good, but also perfectly complement any set of clothes.
Fortunately, there are many different colors in the 2021 trend:
- spicy Redlike chili;
- sandy brown;
- rich, royal green with hints of turquoise;
- nude peach and beige;
- candy pink.
To show everyone around you your sense of beauty, you can simply choose any of the offered gels.
But it will be really relevant with the edging of the same color, but a couple of tones richer. So, the pattern will look appropriate and not vulgar. A safe bet - basic, pastel colors and a bright accent on one hand. This season, absolutely all fashionable palettes can be mixed with white, brown, black or beige.
Many girls are afraid to make colorblock due to the fact that it is difficult to combine with clothes and accessories.
Nowadays, on the contrary, a mixture of styles is in vogue. So the geometry, and even so noticeable, can be worn both with a plain office suit and with a romantic lace dress.
Transparent base in focus
Each season brings some new trends and ideas. In 2021, nail bloggers offer their clients a creative design: transparent stripes, complemented by any varnish.
What is the secret of stylish and well-groomed fingers?
First, the usual strengthening and leveling base is applied to the plate. On top is the coating. But the painted layer does not completely cover the nail: not the entire surface is covered with gel. A transparent layer peeps out from under the varnish. Many women of fashion quickly realized that these parts can be of any shape, including in the form of horizontal or vertical stripes.
And then the design became more and more interesting:
- transparent areas are decorated with rhinestones;
- any patterns are drawn on top;
- a layer of shimmering pollen is applied over the stain.
Creativity and originality are in fashion. Stylists and bloggers recommend combining anything with anything.
Therefore, you can experiment: use only a transparent base as a base, and make the stripes themselves multi-colored.

Geometry is always in fashion
Many women recall with a smile the fashion of the past, when the abundance of bright, flashy details spoke of excellent taste and sense of style. Today, nagging is no longer relevant. When the plate is decorated with only one feature, it always looks stylish and laconic.
But nail masters offer girls fashionable ornaments with different shapes:
- The lines must not be parallel to each other. It is allowed to place them at an angle and generally in any non-standard way, forming triangles, squares, circles or other shapes.
- Almost imperceptible lines can fold into an angular but cute pattern. An important warning that fashionistas should heed is choosing the right colors. Traditional origami is made of white paper, so dark and light are organically combined here.
- Kant does not have to be continuous at all. An effective and unusual technique is to draw a pattern using dots.
- Want more decor? Why not? One has only to supplement with various decorative ornaments - sparkles, shimmering cones.
In 2021, there are no clear rules for nail-art. Geometry can become both the leitmotif of the entire manicure, and just one of the elements on the nails.
Laconic and sophisticated minimalism
Why is everyone so fond of minimalism?
It goes well with any clothing and is easy and simple to do. However, lovers of this direction do not have so many ways how to show imagination - peas, dots and, of course, dashes. With the help of the latter, you can make thousands of options for simple and concise drawings with an emphasis on one element.
Most creative ideas:
- Ombre - Each bottom line is slightly darker or lighter than the one above it.
- A combination of circles, triangles and confetti.
Kamifubuki - this is the correct name for this shiny paper - it is better to match one to one either to the decor or to the base coating. This will keep the minimalistic style.
- Combination with different shapes. The optimal solution is to use two or three colors in one palette, so that the final design is simple and elegant.
Rhinestones are always appropriate
Stylists claim that Swarovski manicure resembles an elegant evening dress. Because the stones emphasize the tenderness and femininity of their owner.
Who said that precious Swarovski and stripes cannot be combined?
Some girls in the salon ask you to make a simple nail-art - stick jewelry in the form of a diagonal, parallel or perpendicular line of the desired width.
More complex and painstaking work is performed in several stages:
- First, a bright or nude base is applied and stones are laid on top of it.
- The nail is divided into two parts by gels. The junction is formed with crystals.
- Charms are glued on one finger or several.
It is not at all necessary to make the layout of rhinestones exactly vertical. A horizontal parallel to the edge also looks impressive and elegant.
Depending on the size of the plate, crystals are deposited at a certain distance from the base.It is recommended to lay stones on short nails almost to the hole, middle ones are decorated not reaching the middle.
Play of colors
The fashionable method of dyeing is already known not only to hairdressers and colorists, but also to manicurists.
The color gradually changes its shade:
- Decreases or increases saturation (for example, from red to pale pink).
- One tone gradually turns into another (for example, green smoothly turns into purple).
Lovers of stripes are in luck - a spectacular design can be realized using familiar and simple lines. The ombre can be positioned as you like: usually it is directed from top to bottom, diagonally or horizontally.
The trend is precisely the horizontal color transition.
Millions of fashionistas have already appreciated the beauty of alternating ombre: the first is directed from left to right, the second - from right to left. If you use muted shades, pastel beige, you get a great everyday option that is appropriate even in the office.
New materials are used
Metallic foil decor appeared on nails only a couple of months ago. But he has already won the love of girls.
There are several reasons for this:
- They look unusual, while they are still not so common.
- They open up room for creativity, because there are no specific rules for how geometric elements should be located.
- Easy to create - even a non-professional who just yesterday learned to use a nail file can handle it.
If the choice fell on the foil edging, then let it be thin. Bulky, wide ribbons will no longer create that feminine and graceful nail-art.
Most often, metallic paper is complemented by either caricatures (they frame the ribbon and add extra shine), or shimmery powder. The material looks equally good with both light pastels and bright ones.
However, in the latter case, shades that are the same in temperature are best combined. For example, bloggers suggest mixing yellow, orange, red with gold foil, and blue with silver, blue, gray or blue-green.
Learning to combine shades
The use of multi-colored stripes is a hit of the past summer. After all, such nail-art looks unchanged bright, perky and fun. Imperceptibly, the trend migrated into autumn and winter fashion.
Here are some guidelines for how to design to match the fashion exactly:
- In order not to overload the nails, it is better to draw the ornament on one or two fingers, and leave the rest with one gel.
- It is allowed to use several paints, but they must be in the same color scheme.
- The thinner the brush, the brighter the polymer gel can be used.
The combination of lines and plain plates looks organic. It is desirable that the coating repeats one of the colors in which the lines are drawn.
Craftsmen already offer warm gels reminiscent of falling leaves, or snow-white combinations that create a Christmas atmosphere. But if you want to realize your ideas, you can draw edging on a universal black or white background.
Scales and sand
What beauty does not dream of one day always looking both beautiful and appropriate?
Therefore, many people choose glitter. Any option with it can be safely considered successful and versatile.
Such a manicure is suitable for work, and for study, and for walking with friends. And if there is a celebration or an evening date, then it is also not at all necessary to run to the master and redo everything.
All types of this material can be used to make edging out of glitter:
- kamifubuki;
- sand;
- sequins;
- scales.
The material looks good both on a short length and on graceful elongated marigolds.
Here are the best ideas for any occasion:
- Delicate pink beige, gray glitter is applied in the form of an even vertical on the ring finger. On the right and left, the master can apply another thin contrasting line to distinguish between the background and the sparkles.
- The nameless and little fingers are covered with several zigzags that divide the entire surface into two or three parts. Each free part can be painted over with a polymer coating.
- An abstract image is drawn on the plate using a thin brush with glitter. Each part is painted with a different coating.
The shine will be weird and out of place without being combined with the rest of the shades. If the sparkles are colored, then you can combine them with other tones from the palette.
A new interpretation of the classics
French is a timeless classic chosen by women of all ages. However, the standard, slightly boring design is already boring. And the masters offered the clients a new decor: the decoration of the plates with dashes.
The edging on the edge should no longer be exactly white. Instead of white, the craftsmen use completely different colors, including bright purple or orange. And lines of opposite shades cross the edges obliquely and add creativity.
Needless to say, they are drawn using both gel and shimmering sand or paper?
Another option is a double jacket. On the edge, two lines of the same or different tones are drawn at once. By itself, this design is already self-sufficient, but if the soul asks for something more perky, plant drawings, abstract ornaments can be drawn on a transparent surface.
You can paint with a brush not only on the edge, but also next to the holes. In this case, not just plain stripes will be appropriate, but also additional decor - crystals, foil, sand.
If the girl has not yet decided what kind of art to draw this time, then the jacket is the most universal solution. He has no restrictions on the size and shape of the plate.
