Gradient

Attractive stratching of color will adorn trendy nails in the coming season. A milky gradient, complemented by large sparkles, as well as an ombre manicure, complemented by drawings and various designs, will be relevant.

Minimalism

Sometimes the simplest design looks the most stylish and cool. An example of this is a manicure in the style of minimalism, made on short nails in a powdery shade and decorated with golden stripes in gold. Such a minimalist manicure is universal and will adequately complement both an elegant and a casual look.

Abstraction

Abstraction will be an alternative to geometry this season; it combines various nail techniques - strokes, splashes, stains, gradient transitions, etc. Trendy types of decor in the form of foil, leafing, pigment powder, giving shine to fashionable nails, will not be superfluous.

Different hands

What to do if you can't decide on one design? This is not a problem, because the manicure specialists have found a way out by offering fashionistas a “different hands” design, in which you can combine any type of manicure - from monochrome manicure to nail art with decor.

Manicure with foil

Metallic glitter has become insanely popular this season and will continue to gain momentum in the future, so foil decor is definitely worth a try in your new manicure. Fashionable foil perfectly complements any kind of manicure - with textures, French, gradient, abstraction, minimalism.

Textures

Mysterious and enigmatic manicure with the "texture" technique is paint stains on nails that imitate waves, smoke, quartz or marble, as well as any other natural minerals. The finishing touch, which the specialists use actively in this manicure technique, is the leafing.

Butterflies

Modern nail trends offer drawing anything and everything you want on your nails. For romantic and sophisticated girls, we suggest trying a fresh trend in the form of images of butterflies on the nails. Such a manicure will surely appeal to young girls.

Flowers

Floral nail art has always been in demand among women and girls; nothing has changed this season, except that the drawings themselves should be simple and not too colorful. Watercolor flowers look cool, and there are many sliders with flowers for every taste.

Sliders

The top manicure of this season is the option with sliders. It is difficult to imagine a simpler and at the same time more successful solution for nail art on nails. If you decide on sliders, then be sure to pick up several variations of drawings in different styles at once - flowers, inscriptions, geometry, birds and animals, which can be interestingly combined in one manicure.

In a fashionable slider manicure 2022-2023, techniques in the style of “textures”, as well as leafing decor, will not be superfluous.

“Animal” print

Imitation of animal coloring on nails is another fashion trend that is actively used in manicure in 2022-2023. The following "animal" prints will be relevant:

Zebra

Leopard

Tiger

Giraffe

Tortoiseshell

Serpentine

To get a stylish manicure with such a pattern, you can accentuate all the nails on only one hand, highlight one nail, or make an accent in the form of a small strip or, as it were, an insert with your favorite animal print.

Inscriptions

You can now create great mood or tell the whole world about your feelings with the help of a trendy manicure. To do this, you need to create an up-to-date design with inscriptions or letters, which are offered in the form of convenient sticker sliders. Alternatively, you can place a letter on each finger, or you can accent one thumb with an inscription.

Glitter

There is never too much glitter, and the days when a brilliant nail decor was appropriate only in a festive manicure are long gone. Now you can boldly decorate your everyday manicure with foil and large sparkles, and for the holiday, make all your nails sparkling.

Logos

A variety of inscriptions, which will indicate your love for a certain fashion brand, is presented in the form of logos, which can be applied to the nail in the form of sliders as easily as any other drawings. Such a manicure with logos looks stylish and spectacular.

Nail pigment powder

A beautiful metallic effect, which is so relevant on nails this season, can be obtained with the help of pigment powder. Masters suggest not to completely cover the entire nail with the pigment as before, but to highlight a separate part, thereby creating an attractive metallic accent.
