All of us are somehow dependent on trends. Even if we want to show our own individuality and realize our ideas, we cannot but perceive all the new products that the beauty industry generously offers.
Fortunately, in the modern world, those who try to follow trends have no risk of becoming one of many people who are alike. Fashion does not depersonalize, but helps to show individuality. And one of the means of manifesting good taste is fashionable manicure with gel polish, because well-groomed hands play an important role when it comes to a complete impeccable image.
How trends are born
Manufacturers of goods for nail art are not tired of delighting fans with new products. In recent years, there has simply been a real boom: the craftsmen did not have time to test one material, as several new developments appeared on the windows. So, it’s time to learn new techniques. So usually trends arise: new material appears, there is an increased demand, masters are more and more often faced with requests from clients to complete a certain design. Portfolio replenished with photos with a novelty, which, in turn, contributes to further promotion.
As for the shades, a lot depends on Pantone. This is the main global landmark when it comes to fashionable colors.
Famous actresses, members of royal families, heroines of popular films act as trendsetters. The world also follows what happens on the main catwalks of the planet during fashion weeks.
An important role in the modern world of fashion is played by bloggers. In RuNet there are many famous names, the work of which is monitored by professional masters and lovers of independent manicure at home.
East wind: the influence of Korean trendsetters
Recently, Asia has had a huge impact on the sphere of nail aesthetics in Russia. First of all, this is due to the fact that China has a huge number of industries that produce the very latest. Korean masters also play a large role (however, this applies to the entire beauty sphere: cosmetology, makeup, hair care).
And if we talk about fashionable manicure with gel polish, it is impossible not to note the influence of Korean masters. Imitation of them came into fashion in 2017, but so far the world has not become fed up with unusual designs from Asia.
Korean style in manicure is a distinctive and unique phenomenon. The striking eclecticism of deliberate luxury and utter simplicity attracts owners of a variety of preferences. Three whales of manicure in the Korean style, relevant today in our country, are:
- volumetric elements, sometimes superior in size to the nails themselves;
- asceticism and minimalism;
- the use of unusual elements: sequins glued to the skin around the nail, small rings for the first phalanx, LEDs, etc.
Colors can be mixed and combined in the most unusual combinations, you can not worry about the harmony of the composition. The main thing is to do something unusual and strange, and it will definitely be in trend.
Still relevant hits of 2018: stickers and sliders
Last year, there was a general passion for stickers and sliders. Mega-popular were the inscriptions, ironic and daring, motivating and inspiring or even with elements of black humor.
Before the New Year, wonderful 3D 3D volume sliders appeared on the market. Soon, the festive theme was replaced by neutral snowflakes, monograms and feathers, and by the spring, the assortment was supplemented with primroses, birds, fruits, desserts. Fashionable manicure with gel polish with volumetric sliders and inscriptions is relevant and is unlikely to lose ground in the near future.
New - Well Forgotten Old: Leopard Return
Until recently, stylists all over the planet convinced us that predatory prints were vulgar and tasteless. But look at the photos of fashion trends! Manicure with gel polish with leopard and jaguar print is again at the peak of popularity.
Professionals recommend playing not only with colors, but also with texture. For example, by performing a decorative coating and design, you can cover the nail with a top, and then place drops on the spots with a transparent gel or a thick base.
Neon
At the end of last year, many fashion experts predicted that neon shades would not only lose popularity, but would turn into a real antitrend. As you can see, nothing like this happened: fashionistas simply did not want to part with expressive luminescent colors!
And if you are looking for an idea for a fashionable manicure with gel polish, be sure to pay attention to the neon palette.
Baby boomer
This funny name has a design made in the well-known gradient technique. An important condition: only shades of pink and white should be used. Usually adjacent to the cuticle half of the nail is covered with body or peach varnish, and the tips are white or milky.
Such a manicure looks at the same time gentle, stylish and fresh, and its important advantage is compatibility with clothes of any color and style.
"Tears of a unicorn" - an unusual trend from Russian masters
Overseas masters have not yet rated this new product. And perhaps they simply did not like them and did not find such popularity as in Russia.
It is already difficult to establish the author of the idea, but one thing is certain: in our country this technique has gained immense popularity.
The “Tear of the Unicorn” looks like molten metal: gold, iron or even mercury, as can be seen in the photo.
Fashionable manicure with gel polish with a “tear of a unicorn”, with all its effectiveness, can be done even by a self-taught master with little experience, because it is just a print of foil, on top of which a bulk drop of transparent material is applied. To enhance the contrast, this design element is usually done on a matte finish.
Spider Web: classic options and trends of 2019
We met with the "spider web" last year, and then almost all the designs made using this material were similar to each other. But progress does not stand still: masters try and find new methods of use, generate new ideas.
In 2019, strict geometric designs with a "spider line" and the so-called geographical pattern are relevant - colored spots that resemble a map.
Watercolor drops
For the first time this unusual material flashed on the advertising banners of Asian trading floors back in 2017, but either because of the relatively high price, or because of a lack of information, the masters did not immediately appreciate it. Today, watercolor drops have finally waited for the high point.
Please note: this is not varnish. Drops are a translucent liquid that is applied over a colored gel polish and then coated with a topcoat. It is very difficult to paint with them; they will not replace ordinary paints. These are the drops that you need to drip, creating a fantasy pattern on the surface.
Great idea for the summer! Fashionable manicure with gel polish with watercolor drops is a real find for carefree days and the beach.
Different colour
The most fashionable manicure with gel polish is the one that its owner likes. And no matter how complicated the technology was. At the forefront is precisely the idea!
This is another proof of another current trend - a manicure of different colors on the right and left hand. It is so simple to execute and so unusual that it is definitely worth a try, right?
French manicure
The traditional white and beige gamut is still relevant, many masters advise to give it preference when performing French manicure with gel polish. Fashion trends are generally democratic, the jacket often acts as a canvas for complex designs. But not inferior in popularity and multi-color options.
Relevant and laid-out jacket. And although in recent years there are many new forms with complex architecture, the most popular can be considered arched pipe.
