Express design: top 5 stylish manicure options in a minimum of time

Due to the strict quarantine, which was introduced throughout Ukraine on March 17, beauty salons closed their doors to clients, masters were temporarily left without full-time work, and their clients were left without manicures and professional care. But both the former and the latter can still make the most of it.

So, manicurists finally have time to master several new techniques, hone their skills, take online courses and take an interest in the latest manicure trends. This is also a great opportunity to finally create a portfolio of your own work on Instagram or even film a few master classes for your YouTube channel or live broadcast on social networks.

What should clients do? For them, quarantine is an opportunity to learn how to take care of themselves and master beauty tricks that will help them look well-groomed and beautiful even during this period.

We have already told how clients can do their own manicure at home , as well as simple nail design options that they can repeat. Today we’ll share some more ideas and show you the top 5 express designs for a stylish manicure in a minimum of time. Your clients, with a little practice, will be able to do them themselves, and you, having mastered a few tricks, will get the hang of creating nail art that seems complex at first glance in a matter of minutes.

Geometric patterns

Do complex geometric patterns on your nails seem like a daunting task? But not if you slowly apply the design layer by layer, sketching the desired area, separating it with a special adhesive tape or creating a stencil from improvised means.

Print on nails

A scattering of flowers on the nails, a bold leopard print or a fashionable python - it’s very easy to repeat this nail design by resorting to a little trick... Ready-made stickers with a pattern applied! One, two - and the manicure is ready!

Brilliant Accent

A simple manicure with a clear or nude finish can be made much more interesting with the help of simple but very shiny accents. For example, chaotically glue laconic rhinestones in the same color scheme over the coating. Or use the same approach as when creating a geometric design, using duct tape to draw a sparkly line of glitter.

Dot the "i"

Complement the laconic monochrome coating with a small accent in the form of a dot on each of the nails. Or draw a thin line dividing the nail plate in half. Minimalistic, simple, stylish!

Brush strokes

To create an interesting design on your nails, sometimes a few deliberately untidy brush strokes are enough. Try painting a loose stain over a clear base and top the design with a clear matte topcoat. Or place these blots on top of a bright finish, adding accents and color to your manicure.
