Reflective manicure: top 12 ideas for the winter season

Just last year, reflective gel nail polishes amazed everyone involved in the nail aesthetics industry, from clients to artists, with their incredible shine. A translucent coating with a million small particles that can reflect light and give nails an incredible shimmer, and this winter has become one of the most popular nail solutions on Instagram and in real life. By the way, reflective gel polishes give the most dense and rich shine under artificial light from lamps or camera flashes.

And although the New Year holiday season is over, glitter manicure continues to be in trend until the end of the season, so we take note of the most beautiful nail art options.

Plain coating

A brilliant single-color coating in a variety of shades is ideal for this winter, giving a dazzling shine to your nails. At the same time, the color of the reflective varnish can be absolutely any – from elegant silver to deep blue or rich burgundy.

French

French manicure in a new interpretation is what you need in 2022. Draw a smile line with reflective polish and create a feminine and timeless jacket with sparkling tips. Thin or wide stripes, square, almond or oval shape, one line or two - the choice is yours!

Sparkles

Dotted inclusions of shiny particles on a single-color or multi-color coating are a great idea for an original holiday design. By the way, even on a transparent or camouflage base, reflective sparkles will look fresh and interesting, while performing a manicure will not take much time and effort.

Color blocking

Combining several shades on different nails within one manicure is a bold experiment in any finish from matte to sparkling, so it’s definitely worth trying this trick this winter. In our opinion, the combination of soft pink and calm light green shades of varnish looks very interesting.

Circuit

Another original solution on trend in 2022 is decorating the contour of the nail with reflective varnish. In this case, the design turns out to be delicate and neat, but at the same time elegant and festive. This nail solution is actively gaining momentum, so hurry up to be among the trendsetters.
