Trendy Negative Space

“Negative Space” (translated as “negative space”) is a new product dictated by the fashion trends of 2020.

“Negative Space” looks very stylish. Truly wide possibilities are open for design solutions. The varnish-free area can be decorated in any way you like: geometric shapes, stripes, complex patterns.

Important! The natural color of the nail plate is visible through the applied varnish, so the nails should be well-groomed and healthy.

This new product is incredibly popular among women. This trendy manicure looks great in a variety of colors on nails of different lengths and is ideal for any age.

With the “Negative Space” manicure, your nails look natural and relaxed. Your loved one will definitely appreciate the beauty of this design.

Stylish Korean manicure ideas and designs in 2020

In Korean manicure, masters do not give preference to clear lines or the same design on all nails, but to careless designs that look like children's - Koreans consider this cute and what gives charm to the nails.

To decorate the nail plate, you can use any accessories that are at hand - from beads, rhinestones, markers to feathers, glass and leftover CDs.

Korean manicure for nails is preferably done in light shades , which shows the optimism and cheerful attitude of its owner. A combination of different colors that combine with each other can also be used.

For short nails

In most cases, Korean women prefer a short manicure - it is more practical. But even at this length, girls place several decorative elements. The preferred shape is oval.

Popular designs for short nails:

mini-drawings;
decoration with stones, sparkles and rhinestones;
performing a gradient;
stickers;
wire, foil;
voluminous drops.

Korean women prefer to decorate any manicure with sparkles; even simple designs are done with a bright accent. The glitter can be applied by the master to 2-3 nails, and the rest will be decorated with designs.

For medium and long nails

In Korea, long nails are rare, but if a girl decides to grow her manicure, she will choose the maximum length. Korean women prefer to apply a variety of accents to medium and long nails. Among the new fashion trends is aquarium design using real dried flowers.

The following color and design solutions are also popular:

inscriptions;
sparkles, rhinestones, beads;
colored tapes, liquid metal;
threads, wire;
a combination of bright colors - blue, green, orange, pink;
stones of different sizes.

Peach gradient (Korean manicure)

The light pink gradient is a tribute to Korean fashion trends. It will never lose its relevance.

The fact is that soft pink shades suit almost every woman. In addition, this design goes perfectly with any outfit, be it a wedding dress or a business suit.

Particularly popular is the peach gradient - a smooth transition from rich pink to transparent varnish. To achieve this design, apply a base shade to the tip of the nail plate, and then carefully shade it towards the middle of the nail with a transparent gel. Many girls use foam sponges for this.

Korean manicure for short nails

Korean women are not favored with long and extremely sharp nails. They like medium or short oval nail shapes much more. This is why most manicures popular in Korea are for short nails.

For this manicure, Korean fashionistas choose pastel shades, smooth transitions between colors, a small amount of sparkles and shiny elements.

Korean manicure: minerals

Smoky manicure inspired by the texture and colors of precious and semi-precious stones and minerals is an undeniable trend that you will definitely appreciate.

Korean manicure: a drop of water

Stucco molding is not in trend, but you can ask your manicurist to decorate one or two nails in the form of cloudy, translucent droplets. Korean fashionistas really like this manicure; they combine it with pastel and rich shades of varnish. Here's an example from Instagram:

Korean manicure: gradient

A popular Korean manicure inspired by peach and blush is an ideal option that will appeal to most fashionistas and will also suit any outfit.

A smooth transition from reddish at the tips of the nails to flesh-colored is an undeniable trend. Korean women like it no less than traditional nude manicure. It is very easy to do even at home, and even when your nails grow, it will not be so obvious that you need to update your manicure.

Here's an example:

French or moon

The classic French manicure has been used for decades, but never goes out of fashion. A few years ago, another “eternal” trend was added to it - moon manicure.

A white jacket, like a white moon, is the limit of femininity, innocence, and tenderness.

This manicure will suit any look, even the most aggressive one.

The strip on the plate is drawn using a thin artistic brush. If you don’t have the time or patience for this, you can simply use stencils that are sold in any cosmetic store.

First, a flesh-colored, dense texture is applied to the nail. If you don’t have one in your arsenal, you can replace it with clear varnish. After drying the base layer, you should carefully draw a white hole at the root, symmetrical to the edge of the nail (moon) or paint over the part of the nail that is not adjacent to the body (french). After drying, a top coat is applied to the entire plate.

There are many modifications of this manicure with color. Red, peach, black, lemon, and raspberry jackets look no less impressive.

Monochromatic motifs

Single-color manicure is a universal solution. It is easy to do at home. Using your creative abilities, you can create a masterpiece of design:

Classic bright red is a win-win option for an evening outfit. Can be supplemented with sparkles, drawings, stickers.
Soft pink speaks of the girl’s subtle and romantic nature. A monochromatic nail can be diversified with bright design accents: combination with another shade, decoration with sparkles, stamping, rubbing, foil.
A fatal burgundy manicure is suitable for brave and independent representatives of the fairer sex. To diversify and enliven the color, it would not be amiss to use an amber rub or pattern.
A nude manicure is a great solution for those who have not yet chosen an outfit for Valentine's Day, but want the polish to match any outfit. Nails in the “nude” style look well-groomed and elegant, making the image of their owner gentle and sophisticated.
The color of lipstick.
Don't forget about the main rule: lips and nails should be in the same color scheme. This combination is always a win-win.

A plain manicure is a classic. And it suits everyone.

How to do a Korean manicure

You can do a Korean-style manicure yourself at home. You just need gel polishes, a drying lamp and design details.

Korean manicure with voluminous stones

First, perform a manicure and degrease your nails with a special product.
Then apply the base coat and cure it in a lamp for 60 seconds.
Next, apply the color in 1-2 layers. Dry each layer for 45 seconds.
Apply a thick base or a drop of polygel to the place where the stones will be located.
Move the stones to the prepared area and press down lightly with your finger. Dry for 60 seconds.
Apply topcoat with a sticky layer to the nail and the side edges of the stones. It is important that the top does not get on the stone itself, otherwise the shine may disappear. After applying the top, dry the nail in the lamp for 60 seconds.
Then, using a top coat without a sticky layer, repeat the action from step 6. Place your hand in the lamp for 60 seconds.

With wire

This design will require a thin 0.3mm decorative wire. You can find such wire in professional craft stores. Using wire you can create any miniatures and images.

Bend the wire the way you like. For example, in the shape of a heart or a cloud. And put it aside.
Apply base coat to all nails and cure them in a lamp for 60 seconds.
Then apply the color coat in 1-2 layers, and dry each for 45 seconds.
Apply a moderate layer of thick rubber base to the nails where the wire will show off.
Place the wire in the desired location. Make sure that the edges of the wire do not extend beyond the boundaries of the nail. Otherwise, the wire will cling to clothing and quickly fall off the nail. Dry in a lamp for 60 seconds.
Cover the nail with a thin layer of topcoat with a tacky layer. Dry for 60 seconds.
Apply another, additional thin layer of topcoat without l/s.

Sometimes it is useful to plunge into the fashion of a different mentality. You can note a lot of useful things from it. And in the case of Korea and their tastes in manicure, you can find plenty of useful things. The ProstoNail team was with you, see you again!
