Inspiration for manicures you can do yourself
Back in 2020, almond-shaped and softly squared nails dominated the trend charts. Still, chasing fashionable shapes isn't the whole picture — you also have to factor in your hand proportions and finger length.
Begin with universally flattering shades that work on just about anyone:
Simple At-Home Manicure Looks You Can Copy
• beige;• burgundy;• powdery;• light pink;• dark blue;• red.
These should feel saturated and lively without tipping into flashy or over-the-top territory.
Layering extra detail on the base coat is encouraged, and combining various techniques is perfectly fine. A soft, refined vibe can be achieved with tiny, polished embellishments:
• brilliant spraying;• beads;• a small drawing;• unobtrusive pattern;• rhinestones;• colored dust/sand.
A widely embraced approach is leaving most nails bare and decorating just one or two with a standout motif.
Motivating directions worth exploring:
• abstraction images;• butterflies, birds;• geometric patterns;• heroes of fairy tales and anime;• eyes, cilia, traces of a kiss;• lace patterns;• clouds and raindrops;• floral ornaments;• footprints of various animals.
