5 Nail Design Trends of the Past Year

During the New Year and Christmas holidays, most nail artists are busy with work. But let’s take a break and recall the biggest nail design trends of the past year. Maybe in the new year, you’ll create your own unique design?

Broken Glass

A design made using transparent holographic foil or mica has been one of the most popular of the past year. Probably the only ones who don’t have it in their portfolio are the lazy ones. We remember it for its striking look, speed, and simplicity of execution.

Natural Stone Texture, Marble

A very popular and beautiful design. It looks luxurious on both natural and sculpted nails. We remember it for its quick execution using the “wet technique.”

Sweet Bloom (3D Design)

A mosaic-like design that became the undisputed leader of this year’s spring–summer season. It requires skill and precision to create. We remember it for its vibrant shades and the beauty of its details.

Rubbing Powders: Chrome, Silver, Gold, Prism, Northern Lights, May Beetle, Chameleon

Designs that will definitely remain popular next year as well. Pigment powders or rubbing powders used to create a perfectly shiny surface have been the favorites of many nail artists and clients this past year. They stood out for their easy application and vivid shine.

Camouflage Glitter or Confetti

Shiny little circles — that’s what clients call them; camifubuki — that’s what nail artists call them. Either way, these are all elements of nail design. A very festive and cheerful style that stood out for its easy application and popularity among clients.
