East wind: influence of Korean trendsetters
Recently, the sphere of nail aesthetics in Russia has been greatly influenced by Asia. First of all, this is due to the fact that a huge number of industries are located in China, which produce those very new products. Korean masters also play an important role (however, this applies to the entire beauty industry: cosmetology, makeup, hair care).
And if we talk about fashionable manicure with gel polish, one cannot but note the influence of Korean masters. Imitating them came into fashion in 2017, but the unusual designs from Asia have not yet become boring to the world.
Korean style in manicure is an original and unique phenomenon. The striking eclecticism of deliberate luxury and extreme simplicity attracts owners of a wide variety of preferences. Three whalesKorean-style manicure, which is relevant today in our country, is:
- volumetric elements, sometimes exceeding the size of the nails themselves;
- asceticism and minimalism;
- use of unusual elements: glitter pasted on the skin around the nail, small rings for the first phalanx, LEDs, etc.
Colors can be mixed and combined in the most unusual combinations, you can not worry about the harmony of the composition. The main thing is to do something unusual and strange, and it will definitely be in trend.
Still hot hits of 2018: stickers and sliders
Last year there was a general passion for stickers and sliders. The inscriptions were mega-popular, ironic and bold, motivating and inspiring, or even with elements of black humor.
Before the New Year, wonderful 3D volumetric sliders appeared on the market. Soon the festive theme was replaced by neutral snowflakes, monograms and feathers, and by spring the range was replenished with primroses, birds, fruits, and desserts. Fashionable manicure with gel polish with voluminous sliders and inscriptions is relevant and is unlikely to lose ground in the near future.

"Tears of a unicorn" - an unusual trend from Russian masters
Foreign masters have not yet appreciated this novelty. Or perhaps they simply did not like it and did not gain such popularity as in Russia.
The author of the idea is already difficult to establish, but one thing is certain: in our country, this technique has gained immense popularity.

Spider web: classic options and trends of 2019
We got acquainted with the "spider web" last year, and then almost all the designs made using this material were similar to each other. But progress does not stand still: masters try and find new methods of use, generate new ideas.
In 2019, strict geometric designs with a "cobweb" and the so-called geographical pattern are relevant - colored spots resembling a map.
Watercolor drops
For the first time, this unusual material flashed on advertising banners of Asian trading floors back in 2017, but either because of the relatively high price or lack of information, the craftsmen did not immediately appreciate it. Today, watercolor drops finally waited for the high point.
Please note: this is not a polish. Drops are a translucent liquid that is applied over colored gel polish and then covered with a top coat. It is very difficult to draw with them, they will not replace ordinary paints. This is exactlydrops to be dripped, creating a fantasy pattern on the surface.

Relevant and folding French. And although many new forms with complex architecture have appeared lately, the arched pipe can be considered the most popular.
