“Moon” nails – a new life for “French” manicure
The popular “moon jacket” has nothing to do with the moon. It’s just that Hollywood stars carried out a kind of upgrade to the traditional French manicure and began to highlight the light part at the base of each nail (the so-called “hole”) with a different color.
This type of manicure was popular in the 20s of the last century and is also called a Dior manicure, because it can often be seen at the shows of this famous fashion house. This manicure is constantly used by the world famous dancer Dita Von Teese. You can do “moon” nails (not necessarily in the French style) yourself. To do this, after standard preparation of the nail for manicure, you need to cover it with white or colorless varnish. Then seal the hole with a special stencil (you can buy it, or you can cut it out yourself) and apply any colored varnish to the nail.
Aggressively sexy look: manicure summer 2010
In the summer of 2010, designers couldn't leave us without a sexy manicure. The bright scarlet color on medium-length nails looks very impressive. The burgundy color looks interesting, which gradually turns into a very dark shade towards the end of the nail. This season it is important to choose rings that match your manicure, forming a single style. In such a finished look, your hands look very attractive. The shine of the stones combined with the shine of the varnish will give you a special chic.
But at the same time, the democratic trend of “combining incompatible things” also persists, in which the colors of nail polish, lipstick and jewelry do not match.
“Red and black”: fashionable manicure fall 2010
Red color is loved by stylists, manicurists and real women. This is the color of passion, love and fire. It is chosen by very active people who want to be the center of attention.
This fall, traditional long red nails with a round shape and short scarlet nails are equally relevant.
Both of them go in combination with red lipstick. In addition, the holes of red nails can be highlighted with a light color.
Short black nails, once in fashion, have remained so. If you love this manicure option, don't be afraid to try it this fall. It's relevant.
But long, sharp black “claws” are also at the peak of popularity. Particularly inventive manicurists may suggest that you paint the inside of a black nail with scarlet color. Agree. This luxurious lining is one of the trends of the season.
Graphite (or dark gray) nails of medium length and rounded shape are a more moderate choice for conservative-minded people.
Natural shades of manicure summer 2010
All natural shades are in fashion: beige, nude, cream, light pink, light gray. This is a great option for lovers of a modest, discreet manicure. They look perfect on short nails and are very appropriate in a work environment.
For those who find grays and nudes dull, natural pink or creamy pink remains the option.
For elegant ladies: fashionable manicure fall 2010
Delicious colors: light brown, caramel, chocolate, cream - a great option for the office or formal event. The length and shape of the nails in this case is not of fundamental importance.
For fans of blue, autumn offers an extension of the summer trend - gray-blue, sea green, bright blue - all these shades of nail polish will be popular in the coming fall. Blue is a fairly calm and neutral color, but if you add glitter and pearl to it, it can look very impressive.
The evolution of manicure over the past 100 years
History is our everything. Especially when it comes to the history of beauty and the development of the global beauty industry. We remember how manicure has evolved over the past 100 years and once again understand that the new is the well-forgotten old.
1900s
At the beginning of the twentieth century, manicure was no longer a luxury item, but still belonged to the list of procedures often available only to the upper class. Ladies take care of their nails using metal tools, polish their nails with special fabric files, and even apply transparent powder that imitates shine. True, such a coating cannot boast of durability - it stays on the nails for at most 1 day. Short shiny nails are in fashion, emphasizing the aristocratic origin of their owner.
1920s
Manicure tools have already entered the wide market and have gained stunning popularity. In 1918, the first nail salon opened in America - its owner was a certain Miss Frederick from 505th Avenue. In 1925, the first pale pink nail polish appeared. It was produced by , which dictated the nail design fashion of that time: the varnish is applied only to the middle of the nail and the edges of the plate are left unpainted.
Dior nail polish
1930s
America gives women an unknown miracle - long-lasting bright red nail polish. It allows you to cover your nails with an even thin layer and is not afraid of water. This invention was especially liked by movie stars; others thought it was too pretentious and provocative. Moon manicure is coming into fashion.
1940s
After World War II, the world learned to live again. He needed beauty and love more than ever. Women wear dresses that highlight their figure, and get romantic hairstyles and manicures. At this time, long nails covered with scarlet varnish came into fashion. Around the same time, the first varnish dryer in the form of a spray appeared on sale.
1950s
Long nails are still at the peak of popularity. True, the shade of the varnish has changed - the most popular color of the 50s became rich burgundy. Girls begin to experiment with nail extensions: in 1956, a template was invented that allows artificially lengthening the nail plate.
1960s
The era of artificial nails is coming. They are made from silk, linen and film. Pink and silver polish are coming into fashion, but the shape of the nails has remained virtually unchanged - classic almond-shaped nails are still the main symbols of femininity.
1970s
The “synthetic boom” that happened in industrial design is also reflected in nail trends. Glitter polishes and bright color combinations are in fashion. The first professional material for nail lengthening appears - artificial acrylic resin. In the late 70s, American entrepreneur Jeff Pink invented the legendary “French manicure”.
Nail polishes L'etoile
1980s
Triumph of form: the boring oval is replaced by a radical “soft square”. However, the content is also changing - neon shades, graphic design and gel extensions are in fashion.
1990s
Grunge penetrates into all spheres of life, from music to style in clothing and manicure. Black, navy blue and purple are becoming the hottest shades, and nail lengths are decreasing in proportion to their drama.
Rimmel nail polish
2000s
Kitsch in all its manifestations becomes a symbol of the new century. Color is no longer of fundamental importance, but figured decoration, modeling, rhinestones and nail piercing are becoming fashionable. The length of the nails must be appropriate: such “beauty” must be placed somewhere.
2010s
At this time, colored French manicure, velor and velvet coatings, varnish with a craquelure effect and stilettos came into fashion. However, the black color of nails still does not lose its relevance: experiencing a rebirth, the style of the 90s dictates its own rules and, in reproach to the experimental trends in manicure, the asceticism of dark shades is still a favorite in nail design.

Bright autumn: fashionable autumn manicure 2010
The main shades of autumn are matte or transparent. But for those who like more shine, there are bright pearlescent varnishes. Now you can “wear” them with short nails, the main thing is that your manicure does not go against the general image.
In addition, shimmering polishes are at the peak of popularity. For example, pink polish that shimmers blue or green polish that shimmers blue.
For fans of pink, we inform you that this fall bright pink shade and fuchsia color are in fashion. This is the legacy of summer.
The fall color palette is very diverse, so let's try to highlight the main color trends.
Blue-blue color scheme of fashionable manicure summer 2010
The clear trend of the season is light blue. It can be rich or almost transparent, but the main trend remains - you cannot do without blue polish in the summer. The shade of sea wave is also welcome.
As an option, you can consider a bright blue varnish with a lot of glitter. By the way, it has not been relevant for the first year.
Cheerful and fresh: fashionable manicure fall 2010
Chocolate, grass green, lemon yellow, cherry, lilac, peach, soft pink, orange and sea green - all these shades on your nails serve as a living reminder of the past summer: hot sun, juicy fruits, sandy beaches and cool waves. The calmest of these colors (pink, peach, chocolate) can also be used for a “work” manicure. The rest are certainly more suitable for a party or a youth look.
Yellow, green and chocolate: manicure summer 2010
Yellow color (from very light to very bright) on medium-length square-shaped nails is one of the manicure options for the summer season. This is a bold and original solution that has been in demand among designers for many years.
All shades of green are also popular. Particularly relevant is the grassy natural tone, which goes well with a tan.
For those who prefer a dark manicure, luxurious chocolate polish is in fashion. Dark shades, like last season, do not require long nails
It is still fashionable to paint your nails and decorate them with additional elements (stones, piercings, etc.). In the summer season, such bright options as:
- Tiger coloring;
- Individual design for each nail;
- Ethnic and floral motifs.
Calm and conservative: fashionable manicure fall 2010
The autumn color palette (gray, black, purple, wine, blue, terracotta, beige, green) is presented in a darkened and dusty format.
Maybe these nail polish shades won’t lift your mood, but they will go perfectly with autumn clothes and office dress code. All these colors are available in matte or transparent versions.
For those who do not like dark manicure, milky white, beige and creamy tones remain. Their advantage is that they do not require perfectly processed nails. And they can always be applied quickly over a cup of coffee without the participation of a specialist. That is why manicure in pastel colors is deservedly popular.
The real fall trend is all shades of brown: chocolate, terracotta, sand, caramel, brick, dark and light brown.

Fashionable manicure color for winter 2010
I propose to talk first about the color of the winter 2010 manicure. The most popular colors for manicure are black, gray, red, purple, pink, green, yellow .
the color gray breaks all records ! You can apply it to your nails either alone or in combination with other colors (for example, doing a not-so-classic French manicure), or mixed with another color. Dark and rich colors look stylish and beautiful at the same time.
But color is not everything, because varnishes come in pearlescent, glitter, matte, etc. Which varnishes should you prefer in your winter 2010 manicure? There are two best options here.
The first is varnishes with a metallic sheen (this is how you repeat one of the fashion trends in clothes for winter 2010). The second, most fashionable – matte nails . This trend echoes the fashion for matte makeup.
Don't like a bright manicure, or the office dress code doesn't allow it? Everything is fine. Nails painted with clear varnish or natural-colored varnish are also fashionable in the upcoming winter 2010 period.

Ikat
Ikat is a fabric dyeing process that is quite common in Asia. And it is akin to the process by which the effect of worn-out or acid-drenched areas on clothing is created. Use white polish or polishes of different shades of the same color to get a similar result on your nails.
Graffiti
I think this type of art is familiar to many. For inspiration, just go outside, and then try to paint something similar at home, or ask a specialist to do it.
Multicolored nails
