Modern manicure is distinguished by its versatility in design. There are rhinestones, watercolor scenes, translucent nude, and classic French. There are so many options for nail design now that it is already becoming difficult to single out any specific trends and fashion trends from all the diversity. Perhaps a fashionable manicure is a combined design for the occasion, namely a combination of several techniques or designs that suit the client’s lifestyle, style and preferences. A good manicurist knows how to use all the new gel polishes and specialized UV coatings, has excellent nail painting skills and does not just transfer certain beauty trends to the client’s nails, but develops an individual design, taking into account the latest innovations. That is why it is impossible to say unequivocally what spring manicure 2019 should be like. He can be anyone! But in order to have plenty to choose from, we will compile a rating of fashion trends in nail design.
Trend No. 1 – spring nude
Despite the fact that spring manicure presupposes the presence of bright colors, nude designs do not lose their relevance. After all, using beige translucent shades you can create a very beautiful and delicate manicure. Now the trend is transparent watercolor flowers and patterns on beige nails. The nice thing about the nude style is that it can be used as an everyday manicure. At the same time, flowers remind you of the upcoming season.
Trend No. 2 – spring manicure with flowers and sparkles
The undoubted trend of the beginning of 2019 in the design of nails was colorful designs in the form of flowers, made on a sparkling coating of glitter. To create such a design quickly, it is better to use a ready-made gel polish filled with glitter, but you need to cover your nails with thin layers so that you don’t get a too dense and thick coating, which, as a rule, doesn’t wear much and peels off quickly. Spring manicures with flowers and sparkles are often done in pink, light green, lilac or light blue colors.

Trend #3 – Pastel Ombre
A spring gradient on your nails can be created using light pastel gel polishes. The rule for choosing shades is quite simple. As a basis, you can take a base shade, for example, white, and additionally two more colors. The main thing is that the colored gel polishes have the same undertone: both warm or both cold. Then you will get a beautiful combination of shades and your spring manicure will look stylish and organic. Experienced craftsmen know this rule, but beginners often make mistakes when creating a gradient. Another common mistake made by beginners is mixing more than three colors in one manicure. For a bright design, you can use three colors, but for everyday it is better to limit yourself to two. A good nail design option for spring 2019 is a beige manicure that smoothly turns into white at the tips.
Trend #4 – Foliage
Well, where would spring be without greenery? If you are a beginner master, then you will probably like a simple spring manicure with sprigs of greenery. It is very easy to do. First, apply wavy lines on the nail using a liner brush with long, thin hair, and then take a short-bristled brush and draw the leaves. If desired, the ornament can be sprinkled with shimmering sand or sparkles. Depending on the chosen style, the color scheme is selected.
Trend No. 5 – spectacular shimmer
A spring 2019 manicure with gel polish simply cannot do without beautiful shimmering pigments. Manicure with rubbing became a hit last year and is not going to lose its position. To create delicate designs, it is better to use pearl coatings or with the effect of the northern lights. Many interesting pigments can be found on a popular Chinese website that you all probably know. The rubbing coating can be used as an independent decoration or complemented with rhinestones or a pattern.
Trend No. 6 – manicure with bright tulips
This is not a new product, but rather a classic, but this design cannot be ignored when talking about spring manicure 2019. However, it should be noted that the beauty of nail designs amazes with its accuracy and realism from year to year. Armed with a powerful magnifying glass and the finest brushes, nail designers create masterpieces on their nails. Now a chic manicure with tulips can be done using a variety of techniques: watercolor, wet or in the form of traditional painting. To paint on nails, it is better to use acrylic paints, thick gel paints or gel pastes. Nowadays, almost no one paints with regular gel polish, but in order to save money, you can use it.
Trend #7 – Furry Bumblebees
The once popular spring manicure with butterflies has been replaced this year by a more extravagant design with fluffy moths and bees. For greater effectiveness, adding naturalness and volume, flock and multi-colored beads are used. Butterflies, of course, have not been canceled either; they will also remain in high esteem, however, the design and the very style of the drawing will change slightly. For examples of spring manicure 2019 with beautiful insects, see the selection of photos.

Trend #8 – Tapered Rhinestones
In 2019, ordinary rhinestones became scarce and flat stones were replaced by designs with voluminous inlays. This type of nail design is more suitable for a warm spring, because... The decor turns out to be very voluminous and can cling to gloves. It is better to plant conical stones on special glue or transparent gel paste with a thick consistency. This way they will be securely fixed and there will be no need to make corrections if one or more design elements are lost.
Trend No. 9 – spring jacket
French design is constantly changed by nail artists beyond recognition, but soon returns to the classic form. A French jacket for spring can be done in the now fashionable elongated shape or go back to the classics using new decor and interesting rich color combinations. French is ideal for short nails, as a spring 2019 manicure for the office, and indeed for any occasion. In a nude version, it does not require correction for a long time. To make the French design more convenient, many options for camouflage bases have appeared. They are easy to work with. Translucent coatings camouflage imperfections in the nail plate and give a beautiful translucent natural shade.
Trend No. 10 – “happy” manicure
Despite the fact that we have already come close to the TOP-10, the ideas for spring manicure 2019 do not end there. In spring, more than ever, you want romance and happiness, so why not draw a lucky talisman in the form of a four-leaf clover on the client’s nails. We remember that now voluminous designs filled with rhinestones and sparkles are in fashion. For design, you can use a filled gel polish or mix a top coat with shimmering metallic powder on your palette.
Trend #11 – Birds and Animals
Once upon a time, animal prints were in demand. But they often turned out to be too catchy, bright and sometimes even vulgar. For this reason, they have lost their relevance and have sunk into oblivion with the exception of “snake skin”. Nowadays manicure has become more delicate and sophisticated, and the theme of animals is revealed in a completely different way. For example, spring manicure 2019 for short nails can be done with a pattern in the form of a beautiful bird or with feathers. The theme of cute Easter bunnies and transparent traces of various animals on bright nails will also be in demand.
Trend No. 12 – luxurious flowers
At the end of this list of new beautiful spring manicures, I would like to especially note the special skill with which nail artists paint floral patterns on nails. Modern manicure with flowers is amazing. How can you draw this on small short nails!? Let's look and admire the selection of photos of beautiful flowers on nails.

Spring design 2019 in different colors
A bright and fashionable spring manicure is best done in slightly muted shades. Pastel colors are most suitable for this time of year. Green, blue, pink, lilac manicure in combination with mother-of-pearl or silver will be popular. Both matte manicure and glossy designs will be in demand. Many will also remember the bright red shade, which is ideal for drawing hearts or creating a monochromatic manicure for the occasion. For long nails you can design in absolutely any color scheme, but for short nails it is better to use light beige and pastel gel polish. Closer to summer, everyone will remember the yellow sunny shade, the spring design will transform and become brighter. You don’t have to cover all your nails with yellow; you can make a stylish design on one finger.

In order not to make a mistake when choosing the shape of your nails and shades of varnish, you need to have an idea of what kind of manicure is now in fashion. Recently, image makers have been paying increased attention to several trends, including both quite traditional and shocking ones. These are the ones we will look at next.
Fashionable nail shape and length
The basis for any manicure is the choice of nail length and shape. If quite recently, neat nails of medium length and square shape, as well as sharp long nails, were at the peak of popularity, today they have been replaced by more natural manicure options with short oval or almond-shaped nails. Sometimes manicurists offer to create a “soft” version of square nails, smoothly rounding their corners.The length of nails in fashionable manicure has decreased and, today, ranges from 2 to 6 mm from the nail growth line. If the nail bed is too small and short, the length may be 2-4 mm.
French manicure in non-standard variations
The most fashionable manicure for sophisticated young ladies is the French manicure. Popular colors and techniques for its implementation have somewhat departed from the pink and white classics. Thus, the most relevant is the colored jacket, in which the nail plate and the tip of the nail are painted in contrasting shades. The following combinations are fashionable:
The next most popular is a non-standard jacket, in which, instead of the traditional smile line, the design of the tip of the nail with a triangular, oblique, zigzag and other demarcation of a varnish of a different shade is used.
Lunar manicure, in which the smile line is located not at the edge of the nail, but at the base of the nail bed, also does not lose its fashionable positions. An interesting idea for this nail design is to highlight the hole not with a semicircle, but with a concave line or a pointed triangle.
An ombre nail design or a gradient manicure, which involves the use of several varnish colors that are similar in shade but differ in saturation, looks impressive.
According to the latest current trends, pastel, rich dark and neon shades should be used in this manicure. In this case, blurred transition lines from one color to another can be located both horizontally and vertically.
Manicure “broken glass”
A beautiful fashion trend in manicure is creating the effect of broken glass on your nails. This non-trivial trend, which came to us from South Korea, has already won the hearts of many girls. Photos of nails with such a manicure look very unusual and attractive.Glass manicure is obtained by sequentially applying a large number of stickers from special colored foil, previously cut into irregularly shaped pieces, onto the nails.
The more shades of foil stickers are used in a manicure, the more realistic the broken glass effect is.
Manicure in the style of “negative space”
A very unusual, but no less attractive trend in manicure design is a style called “negative space”. With this design, the entire nail is not completely painted over, but in some places in the form of certain shapes or patterns. Thus, most of the nail plate remains in its natural form, without any varnish.
This manicure is quite versatile, because it can be created using varnishes of any shade, as well as a wide variety of designs. In addition, making such a fashionable manicure at home yourself will not be difficult if you use all kinds of stickers that allow you to make the boundaries of unpainted areas clear and neat.
The shape of such sections of the nail can be either smooth and round, which is preferable for creating feminine manicure options, or clear geometric, ideal for modern extravagant nail design.
A very popular trend is a combination of lunar manicure and the “negative space” style, in which the hole at the base of the nail remains unpainted.
Extravagant manicure “bubble nails”
The newest trend in fashionable manicure this season is unusual voluminous nails that look like balls. This shocking trend called “bubble nails” will not appeal to all girls, since such nails look too unusual and wonderful.
To create the effect of sticky balls on your fingers, a huge amount of gel is applied to the nails, and only then the varnish chosen to create a specific design is applied. You won’t be able to create such a fashionable manicure at home yourself, since only a master can create such a complex shape.
A bubble nails manicure seems terribly uncomfortable, however, according to reviews, you can barely feel it on your hands. In any case, such nail design will not go unnoticed.
Fashionable manicure colors
A single-color manicure never loses its appeal, and now it is again at the top of fashion trends. Current varnish colors should be chosen based on the current season. So, the following popular shades are best suited for the spring-summer period:- all kinds of berry colors;
- light neon shades;
- sunny and grassy tones.
Calmer, fashionable colors are suitable for autumn and winter:
Regardless of the season, you can choose:
A fashionable manicure design involves applying a special coating over the main shade, which removes shine. This matte manicure looks very elegant and aristocratic. In addition, if you apply a similar coating to a regular plain varnish, you can significantly extend its life.
Monochrome manicures made with varnishes with the addition of glitter are also very popular. For parties, it is better to choose coatings with large sparkling sparkles of various geometric shapes or iridescent sparkles in the form of stars, crescents, hearts, etc. For an everyday option, a varnish with small translucent sparkles, which become clearly visible only when exposed to sunlight, is suitable .
Beautiful manicure– an integral part of a modern girl who keeps up with fashion. But everyone has their own concepts of what is accepted and what is beautiful.
This tendency often leads to the appearance of quite strange trends. One of which can rightfully be considered a bubble manicure.
The USA is considered the birthplace of this manicure. Back in 2015, many fans of bubbles appeared, but the stumbling block was its unusual, or more correctly, strange shape, which caused the appearance of no fewer opponents.
Bubble manicures are done using acrylic, and the name gives a hint as to what the created shape will look like. The first thing that comes to mind is - ball.
That's right. The nail plate should be so rounded that it creates the appearance spherical nails.
At first glance, all that comes to mind is that the girl has a nail plate disease, or she adheres to such shocking views, like the famous Lady Gaga. The original idea of this design was more aesthetic and attractive - various decor was glued on top of the nails (beads, seed beads, stones).
Then they wanted to make it unusually original and came to the conclusion that the nail plate should look like one big ball. For fashionistas in Europe, bubble manicure still seems wild, but American women wear it in everyday life.
If we describe it by visual parameters, then this exaggerated manicure looks like colored bubble gum, which gave rise to such a name. Simply, such unusual rounded nails can be called humpbacked.
For girls who want to stand out and always have some extraordinary item in their wardrobe, a bubble manicure is exactly what you need, because it is guaranteed attracts the attention of others. Opponents of this manicure do not have any associations with chewing gum and something shockingly beautiful, but only resemble some kind of deformation of the nail plate due to a disease.
Overseas, bubble manicure is at the peak of popularity, but, unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, it is still didn't conquer Europe. Perhaps in a few years, European beauties will want to look special, and a new movement in the nail industry will be born in some beauty salon. In the meantime, we will tell you how to create a bubble manicure at home.
How to do bubble manicure: step-by-step instructions
Bubble manicure is a type of 3D extension, which looks quite voluminous. Performed exclusively using acrylic.
Like any other extension, harms a healthy nail plate, since it requires strong grinding and, of course, polishing.
Standard bubble nails provide short nails, but for fashionistas who ready for experiments, you can create longer nails using special forms (tips).
What will be needed for creating bubble manicure using acrylic:
- friable acrylic for extensions;
- liquid for acrylic (or monomer);
- special brush;
- primer;
- file;
- wooden stick;
- tips and type boat;
- polishing file.
Advice! Tools for bubble manicure can be selected individually or you can find ready-made special kits for extensions.
So, let's proceed directly to the process of creating a manicure:
- Disinfect your hands, then degrease your nails (produced exclusively on grease-free surfaces). Treat with an antiseptic.
- To make the extension look more carefully, should be moved away using a wooden stick and.
- We proceed to processing the nail plate - we file it down until a rough surface is obtained. To do this, use a file of medium abrasiveness. During polishing, movements should be made exclusively in one direction.
- The required shape of the tip on which acrylic extensions will be made is selected. Allowed so that the tips are slightly wider than the nail plate itself. Once the extension is complete, you can give your nails the desired shape (for a bubble manicure, it is acceptable to use any shape).
- Tips are glued to the nails and press tightly to avoid void formation.
- Then comes the process of processing the tips using a nail file (giving it a certain length and shape).
- You should apply primer to your own nails. We are waiting until the primer dries.
- Let's move on to working with acrylic powder. Dip the brush in monomer, and then create lumps from acrylic powder. We do extensions gradual strokes. In this case, every movement should be pressing.
- We stretch the acrylic lumps along the nail plate.
- Apply just enough acrylic to create the most rounded shape of the nail. We are achieving bubble effect(bubble).
- After drying, we proceed to processing (grinding and polishing the extended nails).
- Finished nails of unusual shape are covered with transparent varnish to create UV protection, since extended nails tend to turn yellow over time.
- Let's move on to the actual creation of the design, since bubble manicure involves colorful and bright palette.
Note! Making a bubble manicure yourself is very difficult: only if you have all the necessary tools and an ultraviolet lamp can you experiment with creating a 3D (volumetric) manicure.
Bubble manicure is a volumetric enlargement of the nail plate to the shape of a ball. Looks very unnatural and pretentious. But for those who want to keep up with fashion, you can try and not get carried away with acrylic until a bubble gum ball forms on your nails.
It is enough to emphasize the roundness of the nail plate, make bright decor from stones or rhinestones– and now you are already driving in the same car with the fashion trend. Thus, the manicure will look more attractive and fashionable, without any negative feedback or disgust from others.
Design and shape of bubble nails
The shape of the nails is selected solely according to individual preferences and has no no clear criteria.
Eg, for round filing of nails it would be appropriate to make a large hemisphere on the nails; for square and sharp filing, you will have to reduce the amount of acrylic and make them a little rounder.
Since bubble manicure by its nature designed to shock, then the design for it is chosen in an extraordinary way.
It's worth choosing only the brightest colors, and you can emphasize all this beauty by decorating with stones, beads, rhinestones and even voluminous protrusions.
Rihanna
Rihanna's favorite type of manicure is moonlit. It is also called French in reverse: this is when a crescent moon is drawn separately at the base of the nail plate. The singer has no special preferences in color: it can be traditional red, or unusual yellow, or even colorless varnish. Although more often than not, the star’s manicure is aggressive: the tones are dark, rich, and the nails are long. However, to determine the length, Rihanna has a special iPhone test: if the singer can type a text message on her phone, it means it’s too early to cut her nails.
Billions
Billons can spend a lot of money on a manicure. For example, the singer once paid $36,000 for snake-shaped nail rings encrusted with diamonds. These decorations, in particular, can be seen in her “Sweet Dreams” video. However, in everyday life, Billons prefers to do without “false nails” and paint her own. And not only with a variety of varnish colors, but also with all kinds of pictures. The r’n’b star once painted an American flag on her fingertips, and more recently, portraits of herself and her husband Jay Z.
Katy Perry
Katy Perry not only prefers cheerful colors in her clothes, but also does a very cheerful manicure. The star's nails are decorated with flowers, polka dots, zigzags, and leopard prints of various shades. However, the singer also indulges in mini-images: at the height of her romance with Russell Brand, Katie decorated her hands with photographs of her lover, and in honor of the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton - with photographs of the royal couple. You can follow Katie's manicure on her Twitter, where she often posts photos of her unusual nails.
Lady Gaga
The “stiletto” shape - with very pointed ends - has become Lady Gaga's favorite. True, the singer improved it by doing her manicure in 3D, that is, gluing voluminous jewelry to the nail. And one of the star’s latest hobbies was the “caviar” manicure, in which the nails are sprinkled with small balls that look like caviar. But, despite the fact that Gaga herself, due to her profession and extravagant approach to her image, turns to a stylist for a manicure, the singer is sure that a woman cannot think of a better pastime than making her nails beautiful.
