Summer Nail Design Ideas: 7 Trends Of 2019 That You Can’t Miss Out On
Nowadays, fashion trends put forward a plethora of funky, complex and somewhat contradictory ideas that help express your individual vision and create unique yet fashionable art designs. But when all the tools, shapes, forms and colors are out here in front of you, you are left with the biggest dilemma – what nail design to choose in 2019? But don’t you worry, here are 7 nail design ideas to choose from for the upcoming summer.
1. Multi-Color and Gradient
The key trend of this season is color. The brighter, the better! If you wanna go over the top and play with more colors, choose the type of gradient nail design where the colors change from one nail to another either sequentially or randomly. Different colors on different hands is an option as well. If you can’t decide whether you want a neon or a nude color palette…well, choose both.
2. Glitter And Sequin
When applying nail polish with glitter, do not strive to make it perfect. It’s doubtful we’ll ever live to the day when glitter goes out of fashion, but what is especially trendy in 2019 is minimalism, even when it comes to glitter. This year you will see fashion models walking down the runways wearing clear nail polish with a few sparkles sprinkled on top. This creates a twinkling effect. Use glitter as an accent on your ring fingernail or draw an artificial lunula with sequins. Twinkle, baby!
3. Metallic Effect
Wanna look like the next R’n’B diva, an Instagram celebrity or Kylie Jenner’s new best friend? Get yourself chrome square or stiletto shaped nails. If you are not a fan of the ‘claws’, lighter shades of metallic, such as rose gold, silver, and platinum, will look flattering on shorter shapes. Nail design with a metallic effect is especially appealing to those busy bees, who don’t like wasting their time on frequent nail appointments. Metallic nail polishes tend to last longer than the usual ones. Along with monochromatic metallic nails, you can try holo or cat-eye nail design.
4. Classic Red
Red nail polish shade is a staple and probably the most common choice of nail design of all time. The color red is usually associated with the elements of seduction, power, and passion, and these will never go out of fashion. Red nail polish goes especially well with the almond shape. One way to approach a red nail look this year is to choose the most trendy shade of 2019 – coral red.
5. Inscription
Summer is the perfect time for experiments, so why not to go bold on your nails too? Combine one or two bright and juicy shades with a cool pop art print or a meaningful inscription. Here is an example. Accentuate your middle finger and ring finger nails with an edgy geometric pattern or an animal nail decal, inscribe your favorite word that you associate with summer on your pinky fingernail and paint the rest with a saturated matte neon. The inscriptions can also carry important messages and show everyone around what you stand for in an unobtrusive manner.
6. Multi-Color French
Multi-colored French nail design is one of the biggest trends this summer and rumor has it, it will continue to peak for another few seasons. Let’s dive into the key factors that will make you want to get multi-colored French nails A.S.A.P. It’s bright and it’s obviously going to make you stand out from the crowd. Make a statement and show off your individuality by choosing the colors that match your personality the most. Moreover, you can play around with as many colors as there are fingernails on both hands. Such a technique would look stunning with the rainbow pride inspired art design. Finally, it’s simple and unique and it goes well with any nail shape. What more do you need from your manicure?
7. Avant-garde
This season all nail artists and beauty gurus pay homage to the fine art of Rothko, Malevich, and Kandinsky – the founders of the avant-garde movement in art. Avant-garde implies revolutionary ideas, experiments and a degree of controversy; its art is weird and radical. A manicure that contains the motives of avant-garde painting definitely looks edgy and cool. If you can’t manage complex compositions, start small: a black triangle, a white square and a few white lines on top of a ‘latte’ or ‘pecan’ shade of nude.
