One of the topical trends this season is covering the nails with a matte effect. It is difficult to name a specific fashionable color, since it all depends on the desire and mood of the girl, on the upcoming event and the time of year. In addition, the color palette of gel polishes is limitless. This option is universal, since it is appropriate in various life situations:

- peach;

The mat impresses both very short nails and long square ones, almond-shaped and pointed. Only in the first case, deep and rich tones look richer, leave light varnishes for more area.
Accents on two nails are still in demand. It can be rhinestones and kamifubuki, stickers, drawings and stamping design.
Another highlight of the season is the combination of gloss and mat in one design. We will consider stylish examples of such combinations in the next section.

Like all other options, haze has positive and negative sides. Let's consider them in advance in order to avoid possible mistakes when performing a manicure.
Pros:

- does not require an additional securing layer;
- the effect created with the help of gel varnishes or acrylic powder, in appearance, resembles an expensive velvet surface due to its light roughness;

Fashion design: an overview of popular techniques
Undoubtedly, the monochromatic coating has its superiority, but some girls quickly get bored with this decision. Others do not at all imagine themselves without creative design. The following suggestions work well with a matte finish:
- mehendi. This technique is known under the guise of special henna painting on individual parts of the body. However, why not transfer the pattern you like to a couple of nails? Dots, small curls and strokes, connected by thin lines, form a wonderful creation that attracts the attention of others;
- stamping. Innovation in the field of the nail industry has won the respect of both craftsmen and their clients. Fast, convenient, unusual - what else do you need for your everyday manicure? And one cannot fail to note the widest selection of drawings - even the most sophisticated women of fashion will be able to choose the desired drawing. In addition, these compositions can be decorated, supplemented with rhinestones and stones - it will not be difficult to achieve the original sound;
- combination of mat and gloss. New for the season are shiny patterns on a rough surface in one color. Such drawings are noticeable only upon careful examination, but this adds a kind of zest to the image. No less effective is a glossy jacket on a matte base, it looks subtle and casual;
- imitation of knitting. Relevant for the autumn-winter season. Created with acrylic powder. Can exactly repeat the pattern of your favorite sweater;
- ombre... Smooth color overflows have conquered almost all areas of beauty - this technique is used in the coloring of clothes, hair dyeing, even lipsticks have been created that create a smooth combination of two different shades. The nail industry is no exception. For a more comfortable distribution of varnishes, there are special airbrushes, but cunning girls have learned to achieve a similar result using ordinary brushes and sponges;
- drawings... Show your creativity on the ring and middle fingers of each hand, your ideas will not go unnoticed;
- imitation of drops. Not the first season, droplets of transparent gel located on top of a matte base have been popular. They resemble fresh dew drops, look lovely over an emerald and deep blue background;
- marble effect... Imitation of the most beautiful rocks is created in the same way as on a glossy base. A contrasting color is applied to the marigold covered with a background color with strokes, stains and blurring are formed with a toothpick or orange stick.In the end, just don't forget about the special top, this creation looks great in any embodiment.
Advice!You should not do any kind of bath just before a manicure. Excessive moisture is completely useless for gel polishes, because the nail plate swells from water, and then narrows, this can cause the rapid formation of chips and detachments. Also, avoid heavy water treatments for 24 hours after your treatment.
Short marigolds are an enduring trend
They fully support the trend towards naturalness. Short manicure incredibly practical in everyday affairs, it is also appropriate in any environment, does not cause judgmental glances and reproaches from strict bosses at work.
As for the designs - here ample opportunities are open to the masters of the nail industry. To begin with, I would like to note the invincible geometry - it occupies high positions. Triangles, rhombuses, intricate figures created from stripes - such a creation does not look defiant, it impresses with a strict dress code, at the same time dilutes the boring monotony. And the drawing, created on the basis of the longitudinal stripes, visually lengthens the fingers and generally makes the handle slimmer.
Advice!The reverse jacket looks interesting, it, like the moon, adds sophistication and elegance to the manicure, impresses with a short nail plate. Combining a hole with a smile line, painting them in one color, you will give a new sound to classic solutions.
Chic black is the best solution for the upcoming celebration
The hot beauty trend has been the favorite of the most sophisticated fashionistas for several years. The charcoal shade is unique, but also ambiguous. It looks like expensive velvet and requires careful selection of accessories and impeccable appearance to be an appropriate component of the image.
It is considered to be a classic, so it is worth considering the options for its use in more detail. In its matte embodiment, it is more versatile and less provocative, less striking, so you can wear it even to school or to work.
Black velvet will make friends with negative space, with kamifubik sequins and rhinestones, multi-colored glitter and metal foil. It impresses with short oval or almond-shaped marigolds, very spicy opens up on long, slightly pointed ones.
Advice! Dilute the bottomless surface with a unique ombre transition created with contrasting glitter. To do this, use a brush to thickly apply glitter at the edge or base of the nail, gradually reducing their density to the opposite side. This solution looks bright and festive.
Hot red is the best choice for hot dates
The color of love, passion and extravagant deeds - he has always attracted confident women. The scarlet shade must already be chosen with caution, because it is unlikely that it will be appropriate in an office and business style and at business meetings. A romantic date, a visit to a restaurant, or a party is quite another matter.
Deep red looks great both in solo sound and in the neighborhood with other shades. So a noble tone will make friends with the following color variations:
- with black. Paint the pattern with a brush with charcoal, or transfer the pattern with stamping - a clear contrast will play into the hands. It is possible to combine these tones on one and adjacent marigolds. The gradient stretch from scarlet to dark or vice versa also looks mesmerizing.However, such a technique is only at hand for a true professional in his field;
- with pastel undertones. When you need to dilute a flashy fiery shade, muted undertones will do the job perfectly;
- with gold and silver. Versatile options harmoniously complement the rich tone.
Pebbles, rhinestones and other decorative elements also look good on a red background.
Advice! Some not quite high-quality gel polishes do not lay down evenly from the first layer. If you notice an uneven color, light spots formed, apply one or two more layers of varnish, because the velvety surface will only emphasize the existing flaws.
Romantic pink
A girlishly clean and unobtrusive tone is beautiful, it is full of tenderness and sublimity. It is the best choice for a strict work environment, the nude undertones will not make you blush with judgmental looks.
Variations pink limitless - it is available in a wide range: from bright fuchsia to pretty marshmallow. This allows you to bring a variety of creative ideas to life, both for everyday wear and for more significant events.
Combined with white monograms, it will bring harmony to your look. An even more festive design will turn out with inlaid stones that imitate precious jewelry.
It goes well with white, can act as a background for french and lunar, and for highlighting accent nails in a special technique.
Take a closer look at the next proposal, the creation of which will be within the power of even beginners in the field of nail art. Deep pink background will emphasize the bright superiority shiny pattern with metallic reflections. Take a special metallic varnish for stamping, apply to the selected pattern on the plate and transfer it to the base using a soft rubber stamp. The work will take very little time, but the result will charm even the most demanding critics.
