I've delved into insights from star nail masters here, and spoiler alert: the era of overloaded designs seems to be taking a break. First, the basics about shapes: almond (because it visually lengthens the fingers, and that's always elegant) and “squash” (a soft square that's just comfortable for life). And now for the most interesting thing — what exactly we'll see everywhere this spring. Catch my personal trend research, save it to throw to your master later, informs Ukr.Media.
Pearly nude (because the old money vibe is with us for a long time)
This trend literally screams “I'm drinking matcha on almonds and I have everything under control.” No frills or unnecessary shocking. Experts say that the trick is in a nude perfectly matched to the skin tone, which is overlapped with a pearl rub or top. The most lazy luxury, I adore this approach.
Microflorism
Flowers for spring? Revolutionary (Miranda Priestley nods approvingly). But! Forget about those giant daisies all over your nail. Insiders say that airiness is all the rage these days. A small, barely noticeable flower somewhere on the side on a milky base. It looks like you're a forest nymph, but with the latest iPhone.
Watercolor abstraction
For those who are art students at heart. The point is to mix 3-4 shades as if they were watercolor stains on paper. Masters advise using thin brushes to create this effect. It looks like art, but without unnecessary pathos.
Mix-and-match palette
If you're one of those people who's always sitting over a color palette and can't decide on one (literally me) – this is your solution. Just paint each nail a different spring pastel color. The perfect balance between “I want just a plain color” and “I want something interesting.”
Peach
Warm peach and coral shades are back, and this time with a light, very delicate glow. Celebrity makeup artists swear that this is a good combination for any skin tone, because it has the perfect balance of pink and orange. Fresh, warm and very spring-like.
Soft dots
Polka dots have been everywhere for a few years now, but now they are evolving. Instead of contrasting retro, there are very soft, playful, multi-colored dots. Experts call it “childish joy in a minimalist format.” I think it is the perfect option for those who want a little playfulness, but are afraid of complex patterns.
Microglitter (RIP big sequins)
Remember the days when we wore glitter the size of dragon scales on our nails? Well, now that's a red flag. The trend is going micro. Nail experts predict that the coolest look will be a barely noticeable dust near the cuticle or thin shiny lines. Very neat and without unnecessary fuss.
Multi-finish (this is a real gap)
Okay, I admit, I hadn't thought about textures at all until now. Usually it's either “pour it all in gloss” or “do a glazed donut”. But now a mix of matte and glossy tops in one manicure is becoming popular! The contrast of textures looks super modern, dynamic and as if you didn't try to be stylish at all, it turned out by itself.
Therapeutic aquamarine
Ocean breeze, cool turquoise and aquamarine shades. Masters say that people are massively drawn to the calm, natural colors of water. I think this is a kind of attempt to manifest inner Zen through manicure. If you make the shade translucent, it will look simply unreal.
