Manicure in the main shades of 2021 according to Pantone

The main colors of 2021 were the “perfect” gray called Ultimate Gray and the “illuminating” yellow Illuminating. This is the second time in more than 20 years that the Color Institute has chosen two top shades for the coming year. And we are glad, because now we have twice as many fashionable manicure options available to us!

Nail designs in pastel yellow will definitely appeal to clients who love bright shades and bold combinations. But since the color of 2021 is quite soft and not too flashy, it can also conquer more conservative girls. Use the sunny shade on its own or mix it with other pastel tones to create a subtle, illuminating manicure.

A calm gray shade will also be very relevant when performing manicures in 2021. Use it independently in the fall-winter season, and for spring and summer nail designs, a combination of gray with other lighter colors is more suitable.

Of course, we boldly combine the two main colors with each other in the most unexpected techniques and styles. Here you will find “negative space”, and abstraction, and lunar manicure, and even colored French manicure. You can choose both pastel shades and more contrasting ones to emphasize the clarity of the lines.

We are inspired by a wide variety of manicure ideas in the main colors of 2021 according to Pantone and take note of the best of them!
