It is not necessary to turn your hand into a peacock feather, it will be enough to combine bright with pastel, two pastels or two different bright colors in one nail art.

Actual nail shape

Regardless of fashion trends, nails should have a certain shape, and all of them should be the same, otherwise not a single one fashion design shellac nails or ordinary varnish will not help to make hands beautiful and well-groomed.

In spring and summer, white and beige colors will look most advantageous, especially against the background of tanned skin. To create such a fresh manicure, the varnish can be either matte or mother-of-pearl. But the shimmer in this case will be out of place.

French manicure is a classic that never gives up its positions, a versatile and delicate design that will suit any look for both a young girl and a woman. adult woman. In the cold season in 2017, it was fashionable to make the base gray, green or burgundy, and still paint the tip of the nail white. But spring comes, it's warm, and then summer, because the colors of the main coat become more fresh: blue, beige, powdery, pinkish, peach. Moreover, if the tone seems too bright, you can dilute it.

Another novelty is a colored jacket for short nails, that is, instead of the standard white color the edge of the nail is highlighted with varnish of any color from the fashionable palette of the season. Moreover, the line itself can be either a classic arc or a straight line, in the form of a frame, a triangle, the letter V or a wave.

Lunar nail art

Another trend is a Hollywood or moon manicure on short nails, otherwise called a reverse jacket.

At the same time, they should be of the same color, but always contrast with the background. Golden holes and edges of the nail look very fresh, bright and stylish on shades of blue and blue.

Without metal nails - nowhere!

Although it is believed that nails stylized as metal are a trend of the cold season, they still remain in the top of nail art for spring-summer 2017. The only thing is that you should not do such a manicure for daily wear or cover everything with chrome varnish or foil. nails. That is, now a metal manicure with gel polish on short nails should be appropriate for an event, for example, a theme party.

In addition, with a varnish with a metallic effect or foil, with a special rub, you can cover only a few nails or their edges, that is, decorate a jacket. By the way, if in winter period shades of silver were the most relevant, now it is worth giving preference to warm metal - gold. Such a manicure will look great with evening styling and a cocktail dress.

Nails in patterns

Painting, made by hand or stamping, on fashionable short nails in 2017 is more popular than ever. At the same time, you can create all kinds of drawings on the nails both at the master’s in the salon and at home using stamping: special plates with drawings and an imprint with which the printed pattern is applied to the nail.

A manicure with patterned nails can be combined with nail art in other techniques, for example, add rhinestones, beads, pebbles to it. That is, in this case, the design is limited only by a flight of fancy: yours or your nail master. Choose pastel shades or deep wine, burgundy, brown tones for backgrounds. And the color of the picture itself should be contrasting and noticeable so as not to merge with the base. Most preferably peach, salmon, powdery, light blue, beige background.

Combined manicure techniques

Another trendy trend in manicure on short nails in 2017 is a combination of different techniques in one nail design. For example:

• french + broken glass;
• bright gradient + lunar;
• asymmetry: one nail is French, the second is lunar and their alternation.

The main thing is that the shades in such a manicure should not be flashy, but neutral.

Negative space

The original trendy manicure, in which the drawing on the nail, covered with base varnish, is not applied to the end, but is interrupted, is left unfinished, creating the effect of an empty, not completely filled space. At the same time, the drawing itself can be applied both in a contrasting color on a light base, and be transparent on a bright background.

For a woman who is burdened with laundry, house cleaning and other work related to chemicals and detergents, it is quite difficult to keep her nails and the perfect shape of a manicure.

The best option in this case would be a manicure on square nails. It is this form that is not only as practical as possible, but will also become the main trend of 2017.

It is worth noting that the concept of “short nails” is different for everyone and the shape of the nails is often different for everyone, so the design style is always very individual. Experiment and you will find your style and some individual solutions.
