Women often experiment with their appearance. Sometimes they start with little things and end up with a complete transformation. But these small nuances and changes for the better make up a woman’s high spirits and a good predisposition to start a new day. A fresh new manicure is no exception. Moreover, quite often girls get tired of constantly dealing with their natural, constantly breaking nails and devoting so much time to them, and they prefer to put themselves in the hands of a master who will model for them a long, beautiful artificial nail plate with a minimum amount of time required to care for such extended nails.
What should the shape of the nails be?
This is not the first season that a popular shape remains close to natural: the edges of the nails should be slightly rounded. But, as practice shows, girls choose a square shape, since it is more convenient to apply all kinds of designs on it. The design of extended nails in 2021 also looks stylish on pointed nails. Pointed nails are no less popular, even though this shape is far from natural.

There is another option for applying varnish - the nail plate remains natural (coated with transparent varnish), and the design is left with colored varnish. In this design, it is important to maintain clear boundaries of the outline when applying the design. For an ideal Negative space manicure, the nail plates must be perfectly smooth and polished. Both classic manicure options in soothing colors are in fashion, as are bright contrasting manicure options for special occasions.
Delicate manicure 2021
Refined and delicate style has confidently taken the position of classics in trends. Its peculiarity is that it looks equally beautiful on short and long nails, regardless of the time of year. The technique is so simple that it can be easily done at home. And even if you didn’t succeed in drawing perfect, even lines the first time, you just need to practice a little and everything will work out.
The silky finish in a pastel shade palette goes well with white, gray and even bright, flashy colors. In this case, lines in a simple drawing can be drawn both vertical and horizontal, focusing on the length and shape of the nail plate.
Pastel nude
The nude style still occupies a special position in tops. A gentle, incredibly beautiful and unobtrusive manicure will look incredibly beautiful on nails of any length and shape. It fits any style of clothing and looks attractive, neat and natural. At the same time, it can also be combined with any jewelry or lack thereof.
The main trendy feature of this varnish is that it should not be visible on the nails. The shade should blend naturally with your skin color. Therefore, before going to the salon to see a specialist, it is important to decide so that it is easier to choose the tone and undertone of the varnish, which can be:
- grayish (cold);
- peach (incredibly warm);
- beige (with various types of undertones);
- reddish;
- pink.
Accordingly, if the style of the image changes due to changing clothes, choosing jewelry and makeup, the skin color remains the same. Therefore, if it is chosen without matching the type of woman, then it will look ugly and not very organic. At the same time, an absolutely perfectly chosen shade will look simply gorgeous not only in the photo in the catalog, but also in life.
Transparent shimmers and coatings
Having soared to the peak of popularity in the summer, the style still occupies a leading position in the tops and is in no hurry to lose ground. Experts call it “exaggerated nude.” It's all about creating a beautiful manicure, from shaping to polishing and removing cuticles. Then the surface of the plate is coated with colorless varnish or gel, depending on the wishes of the fashionista.
At the same time, the naturalness of the nail and surface is preserved, but the hands look neat and well-groomed, like those of a representative of high society. If a transparent coating has become a priority in manicure, professionals recommend carefully monitoring the condition of the skin and cuticles, using creams and oils for regular moisturizing. Otherwise, the manicure will look unsightly, causing no delight among others.
Important! If in the past rhinestones were always in trend and unique patterns were created with their help, then in 2021 a beautiful manicure means a minimum of sparkles. All accents are placed on 1-2 fingers. In this case, the nails should be oval in shape, since square ones are losing ground and going out of fashion in this type of manicure.
