Modern manicure is so diverse and multifaceted that it is quite difficult to list all the fashion trends at once, but we can safely say that non-standard textures are in fashion. On the one hand, the noble matte finish of nails is popular, but on the other hand, shiny nails are also not going to give up their positions. Fashionistas willingly choose such types of manicure as cat eye, broken glass, and, of course, mirror manicure or rub-in. Rubbing on nails (mirror manicure) has literally burst into the world of nail art, winning the hearts of those who are partial to luxury and glamor, but who value style and good taste. A mirror manicure is created using a special polyester powder, which is rubbed into a layer of gel polish, which is why the name “rubbing” arose. Even a novice master can make such a design, and the resulting effect is amazing. In our article we will tell you about the new nail designs with rubbing in 2020.
What is a nail rub?
The nail rub is a polyester powder, very fine, it can be compared to dust, powder, or loose eye shadow. Simply put, it is a free-flowing pigment. Usually the material is sold in jars with a screw cap. When touched and rubbed in, the powder imparts a mirror, holographic or other similar effect to the plate. In terms of quality and appearance, it outperforms foil or metallic varnishes, which are difficult to apply in an even layer.

Colored gels look elegant and unusual on nails, especially in combination with another fashionable and very effective addition in 2020 - gold rub. Casting is the imprinting of a special foil on a sticky gel layer, which comes in a variety of colors, but gold is the most favorite and uniquely beautiful shade. Let's take a closer look at the technology of applying colored gels and casting. Colored gels: fuchsia, red, turquoise and white. To achieve the required pastel shades, you need to mix white gel with a small amount of color. So, fuchsia must be mixed twice with white gel to get two shades - one brighter, the other paler. You can also add a little white to the turquoise gel. But if you already have these colors, you don’t have to mix them, it will be much easier. In addition to these colors, you can combine any others you like.

How to use pearl rub?
After the nails are prepared, it’s time for the main action. To approach your task thoroughly, you should stock up on:
- colored varnish or gel polish and top coat without a sticky layer;
- pearl pigment;
- sponge, brush or latex glove for finger work.
If, according to your idea, the nail design with pearl rub will not be limited to just a pearlescent sheen, you need to prepare everything else: glitter, rhinestones, stencils, and so on. Although for the first experience it is better to limit yourself to one rub, it in itself makes the nails quite elegant and does not require any special skills.
How to use pearl nail polish on regular polish:
- Cover your nails with a colored layer and let it dry so that the polish does not smudge when touched with your finger, but has not yet hardened completely.
- Sprinkle your nails generously with pigment. To make cleaning easier, you should first lay a sheet of paper on the table.
- Using gentle movements, begin to rub the powder into the colored coating. Control the pressure so as not to remove the varnish. And don't forget to pay attention to the edges, otherwise the shine will concentrate in the central part of the nail!
- After treating all your fingers, fan them with a wide brush.
- Finish the manicure with a final coat of glossy clear topcoat.
If you use gel polish:
- Apply a colored coating to the prepared nail plates, not forgetting to seal the ends, and dry under the lamp.
- If you consider it necessary, make a 2nd layer, although usually the first is enough. Dry that too.
- Rub in pigment with a brush, sponge or gloved finger.
- When the surface of each nail has been processed, brush off excess powder, seal the result with a new layer of top coat and hold your nails under the lamp again.
- If the effect seems insufficiently pronounced to you, repeat steps 3 and 4 again.
If you want to combine pearl rub and rhinestones, first apply the top coat to those nails that you decide to leave free, polymerize them in a lamp, and then apply the top coat to the remaining nails, attaching the decor on top of it. If stamping, foil or drawings are used, they are applied to the first color coating and only then are they taken to the powder. In both cases, the finished result is additionally secured with a top coat.

The most popular types of rubs
Now let's move on to the most interesting thing - current ideas for manicure with rubbing in the 2020 season. In addition, you will find a selection of photos that will clearly demonstrate the beauty of the design we are describing. So let's get started.
Stylish variations of marigolds with rubbing

Mirror rubbing
One of the very first and brightest representatives of this type of nail art. The most popular here are noble metallic shades: gold, copper, bronze. But among very young fashionistas, mirror rubbing in a bright color palette is in great demand. For example, different variations of blue, purple, green, red and yellow.
Important! A manicure in the form of a mirror rub must be handled very carefully. After all, any minor scratch will immediately ruin its entire appearance.
Pearl rub
It’s simply impossible to convey how fashionable pearlescent glitter nail art turned out to be in 2020. And is it even worth saying anything about it? Just look at the photo. They clearly demonstrate all the femininity, elegance, tenderness, originality and romance of this manicure. And, of course, this design has become the most popular among brides all over the world. Girls willingly applied pearl glitter to their nails and even matched their looks to it.
Important! To make a manicure with pearl rub look most advantageous, give your nails a neat oval or almond shape. The free edge should be 6-7 millimeters.
Rubbing-prism
Or a manicure with a 3D effect. A very popular fashion trend today that has found a wide response among fashionistas. The powder, designed to achieve a deep 3D effect, is the finest of the entire range, but at the same time, it is quite economical to apply. In addition, you can play with colors here. For example, when using a dark top coat (black or dark blue), the final shade will be very saturated. But with a light background you will achieve more shimmer.
Important! The drying time of the top varnish must be controlled down to the second. After all, if you overdry it, the powder simply won’t stay on the surface.
Rubbing chameleon or cockchafer
This is a relative novelty in this type of nail art, and therefore, we will tell you more about it. So, the main feature of the chameleon is the change in color depending on the lighting. To be more specific, the same rub on one nail can shimmer from green to purple. Also, the shade of the top is of great importance here. Based on what you choose, the cockchafer will turn out to be richly dark or, on the contrary, muted. Actually, the name of this manicure is precisely that because it visually resembles the shell of this insect.
Important! The powder itself, intended for the chameleon effect, has a beige, gray or yellowish tint and, at first glance, cannot give such a deep and rich color. But this impression is wrong. After application, the rub acquires exactly the shade stated on the packaging.

Gel polish and rubbing-chrome
Another fashion trend that will fully come into circulation only in 2020. What is the difference between chrome rubbing and the usual mirror rubbing, since they are somewhat similar in appearance? It turns out that there is a lack of shine. Pay attention to the photo of a chrome manicure with gel polish. There are no usual shimmers or reflective effects here. Everything is more restrained and laconic. And only depending on the substrate, the final color can be either light and soft or dark and catchy.

Holographic rub in silver tones
This is a very relevant nail art today, as it looks especially impressive in winter. To create a stunning holographic manicure, use powder containing silver pigment. It looks universal with any top, but is best revealed on a black and white base.
Important! Silver tints will also appeal to the Earth Pig, the symbol of the coming 2020. So, feel free to choose this idea for a New Year’s manicure.

Rubbing “Northern Lights”
In this case, the beautiful name of nail art is completely justified. After all, the color palette used in this rubbing is very similar to the natural phenomenon of the same name. This type of pigment is often confused with the cockchafer, but, in fact, they are completely different, because the northern lights have cooler shades.

Another fashionable option for a shiny manicure 2020 is the chameleon. This coating is also called cockchafer. The name is eloquent - the manicure shimmers and is very similar to the coloring of a cockchafer. When viewed from a certain angle, the powder gives off a purple tint.

Interestingly, the powder itself is completely unremarkable and has a beige-gray tint.
