So in nail art, what are the essential trends of this winter 2022 ? We will review the best ideas in terms of manicure in the rest of this article.
What are the current design highlights?
To be able to offer a digest of today’s leading designs, it was necessary to explore and dig into current trends. Of the latter, 9 techniques have particularly caught our attention, as they are the most popular among French women. These are:
Nude shades
As in the past few years, nude shades are highly prized by women. They allow you to display a discreet and well-groomed manicure at the same time. These shades are also appreciated when it comes to eye or lip makeup. But for nails two options are available to you: the matte or shiny nude (style top coat). This shade is also very easy to degrade on the nail in shaded version or to combine with other shades. Consider pairing it with silver or gold for a festive winter manicure. Finally, you will have no trouble removing it with a solvent without acetone.
Shiny and metallic nails
brilliance and metallic give character to any field, whether in terms of decoration or in the world of aesthetics and fashion. Thus, metallic or glittery varnishes will subtly and luxuriously dress the tips of your fingers. For this winter 2022, the trendy metallic and luminous colors are pink gold, chrome and gold glitter. There is also a return to mirror-effect nail polish installation whether it is a manicure or pedicure.
Animal Prints
Animal prints are patterns that have been in our wardrobe for two years. To be trendy to the end of the nails, there is nothing like adopting them as a manicure. But beware: not all are equal! The pattern with which you are sure not to commit a faux-pas fashion is the leopard print. Luckily, it is also one of the easiest to do, including for those who do their manicure at home. You can easily reproduce the characteristic spots of the leopard with the help of a toothpick and two varnishes in different shades of brown. Alternatively, you also have the option to place stickers on natural nails or after a coat of varnish.
White Versatility
The white is a versatile color: it can be applied to nails as much in the summer, to bring out the tan, as in the winter for its ability to fit every style of clothing. You can opt for a solid white manicure that will make your nails look icy or add your personal touch. Patterns and colors to choose from: everything is combined with manicures in white tones!
Le « mix and match »
Are you familiar with the mix and match? If the answer is no, this is the option that allows you not to have to strictly choose a single nail polish color. This technique involves painting each of your nails in a different color . This will allow you to no longer have to hesitate between several colors. This manicure can be done with pastel, nude or much brighter shades, but be careful of the concordance of colors between them. The ideal technique for indecisive and original!
La manucure « pull-over »
This is one of the great novelties of 2022: the "pull-over" manicurewill delicately dress your nails with softness to visually counter the winter cold. However, this manicure should be done with a LED UV lamp. You will of course need to have all the necessary equipment to make a gel manicure (gels, permanent varnish and utensils such as cuticle repellents, nail files, etc.). You can easily find tutorials that explain the technique on the internet. But you have understood the main idea: simply reproduce the ribbed appearance of the wool on the nails.
French manicure in colour
French manicure was a staple in the 2000s. Nowadays, it has been somewhat revised to make it less clean and more melted. In 2022, it is completely revisited by incorporating colors. And especially in the most popular shades of grey, black or burgundy red during the winter season. Of course, nothing prevents you from using more vivid tones and even fluo if you like it. In addition, it is entirely possible to add patterns to a revisited French manicure.
Short and dark nails
Short and dark nails are another timeless manicure. With their small rock side, you will impose your style and personality by wearing this type of nails. It’s up to you to choose the finish, matt or glossy, and the strong hue. Black is a classic that can be replaced by dark blue, brown or purple and its variations in winter. You will no longer have to complexate on nails that are too short, as a dark varnish will restore them to beauty and nobility.
Geometric patterns
Finally, if you have noticed that geometric patterns play a big part in interior decoration, you should know that it is the same on our nails. The benefit? The variations are infinite in terms of colors and shapes. In addition, you can easily make this type of nail art with a brush at home, gel or semi-permanent varnish.
We hope that these must-have trends in winter 2022 nail art will have given you some ideas and that you will have found one or more manicures adapted to your desires and style. Do not hesitate to watch dedicated videos, they are numerous on the web.
