“Metallic” in manicure: trendy design options

The metallic effect has recently been rapidly gaining momentum in nail design, and today it can be safely called one of the trends of the autumn-winter season. How to beat the fashion trend and create a manicure with spectacular “metallic” details?

Plain coating

In 2021, “metallic” can appear on your clients’ nails in completely different variations. For those who are ready to go to great lengths, a suitable option would be a monochromatic coating of all nails with gel polishes and rubs that imitate noble metals: gold, platinum, silver or bronze.

“Metallic” + drawings

To give your “metallic” manicure more personality, decorate it with patterns of autumn flowers or leaves - such a tandem looks fresh and interesting, attracting the attention of others.

Imitating animal prints with metallics is another very fun solution.

Combination of matte and metallic finish

Another non-standard option is a combination of metallic and matte finishes. In this case, one or two nails can be covered with rubbing, and on the rest you can make a mix of a matte finish and sparkling details. This combination creates a play of contrasts, so it looks especially original.

Metallic accents

“Metallic” accents in manicure are one of the most trendy techniques in 2021. At the same time, they look appropriate on both matte and glossy finishes. These can be geometric shapes, chaotic strokes or blots, neat lines or full-fledged complex patterns.

French and moon manicure

Fashionable coatings, including colored ones, are definitely worth trying in the context of a French or lunar manicure. This nail design is perfect for the upcoming holidays, and will also be very relevant for everyday work.
