After a long, cloudy winter, we want warmth, sun and bright colors. In spring, the desire to dress in more colorful things, to do rich makeup and rainbow manicure is acutely manifested. It is about manicure for spring 2024 that we will talk about today.

It is clear that the hands should be well-groomed, the shape of the nails should be convenient for your lifestyle, and the chosen color of the varnish should correspond to certain situations. But besides this, I really want to look really fashionable and trendy. Therefore, we decided to share with you the main trends of nail art on spring-summer season 2024... We spied these manicure ideas on the catwalks and on Instagram of celebrities.

Which nail shape will be your priority in 2024?

You need to start, perhaps, with the form. The most fashionable and relevant today, regardless of the length of the nail, is considered to be a uniform oval shape, as well as almond-shaped, slightly pointed at the end. Square nails, alas, are slowly receding into the past. This is not surprising, because naturalness is in fashion, and therefore a natural rounded shape will be a priority.

Even if you are not going to "change" the square tips of the nail that you have been wearing for years, still try to change the shape for at least a few weeks - you will always have time to return to the previous one!

Many ladies who changed the shape from square to oval, claim that such nails are much more "wearable", comfortable and comfortable. It is possible to grow a sufficient length: the corners of square nails that have grown a lot, as a rule, cling to everything and break first. But in oval and almond-shaped, this problem is not observed.

The most relevant colors and shades of 2024

It would seem that absolutely all shades of the spectrum can be used in manicure - it all depends on your habits, mood, clothes that you wear. But in the range of colors (manicure and make-up, clothes and interiors), the priorities change every year. Who dictates the rules? The Pantone Color Institute is considered an authority - it decides annually which shades will be the most relevant. Here are the 10 most popular for 2024:

1. Classic Blue is recognized as the undisputed leader for 2024. Quite rich, but calm and very elegant, inspired by the sea element, suitable for any look and situation;
   
   
2. Chili Pepper: a deep red color that really resembles hot peppers - a classic of the genre for red manicure;
   
   
3. Biking Red: a dark burgundy shade reminiscent of the once sensational Marsala, a variation for cool spring days;
   
   
4. Crème de Pêche ("peach cream"): a very light pastel pinkish shade, with a warm undertone - ideal as a base for a jacket;
   
   
5. Peach Pink: richer and brighter, really reminiscent of a pinkish-orange barrel of ripe peach;
   
   
6. Rocky Road: beautiful chocolate shade, will look great on nails with light beige and nude colors;
   
   
7. Fruit Dove ("fruit dove"): the most suitable color for spring manicure - bright pink, independent and self-sufficient;
   
   
8. Orange Tiger ("orange tiger"): exactly the way tigers are painted in Disney cartoons - a bright and juicy orange color;
   
   
9. Bluestone ("blue stone"): an exquisite blue-gray shade, not too dark, will look perfect on nails in a matte finish;
   
   
10. Eden (Garden of Eden): a rich shade of lush green foliage or grass in a meadow - perfect for manicure in early spring and in the height of summer.
    

Design and decor: what's trending in 2024?

And finally, we are ready to tell you about the 5 most unusual tricks in the decor and design of nails for the spring of 2024. Be in trend!

1. Negative space and clean "virgin" nails

As we said above, naturalness and naturalness are in fashion. And this concerns not only the shape of the nail, but also the color. Or rather, its complete absence or a combination of unpainted areas of the nail with coated ones. This technique is called negative space, and it does not give up its popularity for several seasons in a row.





The "moon" manicure has already become a real classic, when the semicircular hole at the base of the nail remains uncovered with color. Empty space, however, can be left anywhere on the nail. Or you can not cover your nails with varnish at all, using only a base or a translucent base. These nails are suitable for any look and for any situation.

2. Ghetto Nails: XXL length, bright colors and an abundance of decor

And here is a trend that is exactly the opposite of the previous one. Ghetto Nails is the name of a manicure that black girls from Harlem or other outskirts of big cities like to do for themselves. It can be characterized by one phrase: “too much”. Bright hues, neon colors, glitter and sparkles, 3D sculpting, gems and pearls, and much more that you can imagine.

Are you afraid that such nails will look too vulgar? But just look at the Kardashians, Beyonce, Rihanna or Cardie B - they are not afraid! In the end, you can make a more subtle variation on Ghetto Nails: reduce the length, remove the bright colors, choose one decoration option, not several. A nude manicure with voluminous pearls will do even as a wedding!

3. Drawings of marble, minerals and semi-precious stones

The so-called "marble" manicure is not considered a novelty, because it has been popular for a long time. But this year he boldly takes the lead among other trends. The stains on the nails, really reminiscent of marble or semi-precious stones and minerals, look very relevant.

There is no need to use contrasting colors: the dark green color of malachite is complemented by light green veins, the milky shade of marble - with gray blotches, the rich purple tone of amethyst - with light pinkish lines. Looks really realistic!

4. French with a very subtle "smile"

It is also called "microfrench" or "mini-french". Why? It's simple: "smile", that is, the white border along the edge of the nail becomes extremely thin and almost invisible in 2024. Yes, if the nails are long enough, you will have to use an opaque varnish as a base to hide the border of the real edge of the grown (and therefore lighter) nail.

But if you are used to wearing very short nails, or keep track of the length due to the peculiarities of work or caring for small children, then you can safely use a transparent colorless base. White "smile" of French manicure should be painted with the thinnest brush to make it really narrow.

5. Highlighter for cuticles and fingers

And finally, another very interesting trend that we spied on Instagram from the famous Korean manicure master Yun Kyung Park (@nail_unistella). This is an absolute novelty, you have never seen anything like this! And it touches not so much the nail itself as the fingers. Cuticle highlighter - what do you say? Now the highlighter can be applied not only to the cheekbones, nose bridge or upper lip area, but also to the fingers near the nail cuticle.

Before this, hands need to be well moistened, and the highlighter should be applied with a thin brush. You can use the same product that you use on your face, because the highlighter is not yet released for nails. Although who knows when the production will be adjusted, after all, shining and shining bronze fingers with a highlighter, especially if there is a nude light manicure on the nails, look really divine.
