Main trends

The most noticeable trend in manicure in 2017 is the length of the nails: the edge of the nail extends beyond the fingertip by a maximum of 3-4 millimeters. This is a fashionable basis for a stylish manicure of the season. But in order for the nail design to be truly stylish, also pay attention to the following fashion trends:

  • naturalness and naturalness at the peak of popularity. Since by nature the bed of the nail plate has an oval shape, it is she who is most preferable this season. Rounded square, semicircle, almond-shaped shapes are also acceptable. Forget cat nails, they are a thing of the past;
  • elegant coating with matte gel polish, looks not beaten, soft, can be combined with glossy;

  • french manicure looks perfect and neat on short nails, and it can be both classic and colored french;
  • lunar: retro design is at the peak of popularity this season;
  • ombre or gradient manicure: this technique has been popular for hair coloring for many years, and now it has become a trend in nail art. Such a manicure turns out to be bright, catchy or soft, depending on the chosen shades and color palette;
  • graphic nail art: looks original and unusual, with its help you can even visually adjust the width of the nail, making it narrower.

Forget about having to match the color of the nail polish with the shade of lipstick, this rule is a thing of the past. Now you can create vibrant looks without looking back at matching lipstick shade to nail color.

Color preferences

The trend of naturalness and naturalness dictates its own rules not only for the shape of nails, but also for the preferred color palette of manicure 2017. And what could be more natural than delicate pastel shades. In addition, they are neutral and will suit almost any look, place and style of clothing. But together you should not think that because of this, a manicure for short nails in 2017 will look faded and colorless. Restrained colors make it refined, moderately bright, but not flashy, and not too colorful.

Thus, the most hit manicure colors this season will be:

  • sand;
  • cream;
  • blue;
  • powdery;
  • salmon;
  • peach.

In a word, in fashion - femininity and tenderness. But still, rich, noble, thick shades of dark wine (Marsala), plum, red, brown and even black do not give up their positions, acting in manicure both solo and in combination with each other or light tones, the effect of metal on nails.


The Chinese calendar dictates its own rules, because the year 2017 is marked by the time of the fiery rooster. This means that his preferences should be reflected in fashion trends, including manicure. The rooster is a bright bird, loves multi-color combinations, and therefore a fashionable nail design can be two-color to please him. It is not necessary to turn your hand into a peacock feather, it will be enough to combine bright with pastel, two pastels or two different bright colors in one nail art.

Actual nail shape

Regardless of fashion trends, nails should have a certain shape, and the same for everyone, otherwise none of the most fashionable nail designs with shellac or ordinary varnish will help make your hands beautiful and well-groomed. In 2017, the classic oval and almond-shaped, as well as a semicircle, become the top ones. Properly selected and neatly made nail shape, even the simplest manicure can make it look like you just visited the salon.

But do not go against nature and radically change the shape of the nail plate. For example, if you have wide nails, you should not try to make them almond, it will look unnatural and not too beautiful. Also, wide nails do not like too short length, as in this case they visually make the fingers shorter and thicker. Also, when you paint them, step back a millimeter on both sides of the nail, thereby you can visually narrow it. Small and round nails look good in the form of a semicircle, a square with sawn, softened rounded edges.

Design in one tone

Classic manicure of one color will never lose its relevance. Choose fashionable pastel shades to create it: blue, pink, peach. In spring and summer, white and beige colors will look most advantageous, especially against the background of tanned skin. To create such a fresh manicure, the varnish can be either matte or mother-of-pearl. But the shimmer in this case will be out of place.







fashionable geometry

At the peak of popularity - geometric shapes and all kinds of lines, they look especially stylish on short nails. After all, depending on how and what lines, figures you decide to place on the nail plate, you can adjust its shape. In addition, this design looks unusual and modern.

You can arrange the figures in an orderly or random way, it all depends on what end result you want to get. Diamonds and squares of lavender or light green color look especially stylish and summery. You can draw geometric shapes only on some fingers, for example, the ring and middle or index fingers, and leave the rest painted in one primary color. Photo novelties of geometric manicure:

French is always in fashion

French manicure is a classic that never gives up its positions, a versatile and delicate design that will suit any look for both a young girl and an adult woman. In the cold season in 2017, it was fashionable to make the base gray, green or burgundy, and still paint the tip of the nail white. But spring comes, it's warm, and then summer, because the colors of the main coat become more fresh: blue, beige, powdery, pinkish, peach. Moreover, if the tone seems too bright, you can dilute it.

Another novelty is a colored jacket for short nails, that is, instead of the standard white color, the edge of the nail is highlighted with varnish of any color from the trendy palette of the season. Moreover, the line itself can be either a classic arc or a straight line, in the form of a frame, a triangle, the letter V or a wave. You can mix different shades of the same color, or you can mix completely different colors. The combination of two shades on the hand in a jacket on short nails is especially relevant in 2017.

Ombre: gradient nails

Another current trend is gradient manicure. Initially, the fashionable ombre technique captured the minds of hair stylists, after which nail masters picked up this wave. After all, how beautiful the color transitions on the nails look! At the same time, ombre can be done with both matte and glossy varnish, even with the effect of sand. If there is a darker shade at the base of the bed, this will visually narrow it from below, if it widens the nail. Therefore, depending on what effect you need, choose how the transition from tone to tone should be located.

In addition to the fact that the gradient can be done in one color palette, transitions from color to color will also look spectacular, for example, from white to pink, from blue to pale yellow. The brightest new items and photos of ombre design:

Lunar nail art

Another trend is a Hollywood or moon manicure on short nails, otherwise called a reverse jacket. By the way, in 2017 it is especially fashionable to make a combined jacket with a moon one, that is, to highlight both the smile line, that is, the base of the nail bed, and the edge of the nail. At the same time, they should be of the same color, but always contrast with the background. Golden holes and edges of the nail look very fresh, bright and stylish on shades of blue and blue.









Without metal nails - nowhere!

Although it is believed that metal-styled nails are a trend of the cold season, they still remain in the top of nail art for spring-summer 2017. The only thing is that you should not do such a manicure for daily wear or cover everything with chrome varnish or foil. nails. That is, now a metal manicure with gel polish on short nails should be appropriate for an event, for example, a theme party.

In addition, with a varnish with a metallic effect or foil, with a special rub, you can cover only a few nails or their edges, that is, decorate a jacket. By the way, if in winter the shades of silver were the most relevant, now it is worth giving preference to warm metal - gold. Such a manicure will look great with evening styling and a cocktail dress.

Nails in patterns

Painting, made by hand or stamping, on fashionable short nails in 2017 is more popular than ever. At the same time, you can create all kinds of patterns on the nails both at the master in the salon and at home using stamping: special plates with patterns and an imprint with which the printed pattern is applied to the nail. In this way, you can soften a strict manicure or diversify a boring monophonic one. It can be lace, geometric shapes, chaotic lines, imitation of animal skins, abstract curls.

A manicure with patterned nails can be combined with nail art in other techniques, for example, add rhinestones, beads, pebbles to it. That is, in this case, the design is limited only by a flight of fancy: yours or your nail master. Choose pastel shades or deep wine, burgundy, brown tones for backgrounds. And the color of the picture itself should be contrasting and noticeable so as not to merge with the base. Most preferably peach, salmon, powdery, light blue, beige background.

Combined manicure techniques

Another trendy trend in manicure on short nails in 2017 is a combination of different techniques in one nail design. For example:

  • french + broken glass;
  • bright gradient + lunar;
  • asymmetry: one nail is French, the second is lunar and their alternation.

The main thing is that the shades in such a manicure should not be flashy, but neutral.

Negative space

The original trendy manicure, in which the drawing on the nail, covered with base varnish, is not applied to the end, but is interrupted, is left unfinished, creating the effect of an empty, not completely filled space. At the same time, the drawing itself can be applied both in a contrasting color on a light base, and be transparent on a bright background.





You can make a beautiful and stylish manicure today without any problems in almost any beauty salon. And many of the fair sex, having bought special manicure sets and mastered the work with specific tools, create actual masterpieces at home. True, just a few years ago, not all girls and women could afford trendy nail art, since long and often pointed nails significantly limited the types of work that could be done with skillfully decorated pens.

But in 2017, fans of exquisite nail design will not have to choose between the convenience and relevance of manicure, since the fashionable concept that promotes natural beauty will not only remain popular, but will also acquire original shades that allow you to create both natural and fabulously beautiful fantasy nail art. .

Trends 2017 for short nails

The design of short nails 2017 can be elegantly simple, elegantly expressive or extravagantly bright. At the same time, well-known stylists agreed that the ideal length of the free edge of the nails next year is 2-3 mm, and the maximum allowable is no more than 5 mm. Therefore, various options for trendy nail art are created according to double standards - for really short and for slightly elongated nail plates. Anti-fashionable in 2017 will be long artificial nails, so it is better to refuse extended nails. If the “native” nails do not look very aesthetically pleasing, then it makes sense to use the gel polish that is relevant this year. This unique coating will help hide any cosmetic defects of the nail plates, as well as strengthen and heal the nails themselves.

Short nails in 2017 should be given the most natural shape. Therefore, the now fashionable "square" will have to be turned into squoval, the so-called "soft square" with rounded corners. The trendy version of the next year for very short nails is considered to be an oval shape, and almond-shaped is relevant for slightly elongated nail plates.

In principle, almost all of the most interesting 2017 nail design options are designed specifically for short nail plates. But, of course, it is necessary to create a “short” nail art, taking into account its specific length, carefully selecting the optimal color and artistic solutions.

French manicure for short nails deserves special attention - the smile in this version of the French manicure should be very thin so that the already small surface of the nail does not seem visually even smaller.

The most successful, according to fashion stylists, 2017 solutions for short nails:

  • Assorted. In this version, at least two different manicure techniques are combined on the handles, for example, “moon” and jacket, ombre and graphics, jacket and broken glass. Interestingly, the asymmetrical execution of the assorted design on short nails looks more impressive than the traditional symmetrical one.
  • Artistic fantasy. Next year, anything can be depicted on short nail plates, using both delicate pastels and very bright coatings. Nail art looks unusual and original with creative finds - a smile of multi-colored triangles, a golden moon, negative space combined with geometry. The only caveat is that owners of short nails should not "weight" the manicure with patterns with very large or very small details.
  • Minimum embellishment. Decor in 2017 is an indispensable element of festive nail art. However, to get an up-to-date, stylish and beautiful design, you need to use it carefully, especially on short nails. The ideal option is small sequins, transparent rhinestones and shiny adhesive tapes in an amount of no more than 3 pieces per nail. At the same time, it is better not to decorate all nails, but only one or two out of five. But it is better not to use shimmery coatings with a large number of shining particles on such nail plates.

Actual colors of manicure, drawings

Naturalness and naturalness - the trendy nail concepts of 2017 - were presented at fashion shows in a variety of incarnations. The following nude and pastel shades are unconditionally recognized as the most relevant, attracting attention not with bright beauty, but with gentle tints of slightly blurry colors:

  • peach;
  • sand;
  • blue;
  • pink;
  • white;
  • creamy;
  • cream.

However, saturated colors (red, sunny yellow, purple, orange, crimson), which are so pretty for the eastern "master" of the year - the Fire Rooster - will also be in fashion. Accordingly, well-known nail designers recognized the two-tone design, made in two shades of the same color, as the most fashionable manicure option in 2017. In this case, the combination can be:

  • pastel bright (for example, light scarlet / red);
  • pastel (light yellow/light orange);
  • bright (blue / bright blue, purple / lilac).

Coatings with metallic effect

The popularity of varnishes with a metallic sheen in 2017 will increase significantly. Such coatings will look most appropriate in autumn and winter in combination with dark matte varnishes. Truly “metallic” nail art is also in trend: nails wrapped in a special manicure foil look luxurious and harmoniously complement elegantly modest evening dresses.

And in spring and summer, metallic effect coatings and silver-golden foil transform into an interesting decor element especially for pastel-colored manicures. To do this, exactly in the center of the marigold, painted in peach, blue, creamy or pink, a “metal” strip is held / glued - horizontal or vertical. At the same time, short nails should be oval - in this case, the trendy stripe will look especially stylish!

Volumetric patterns

The creative find of American stylists - nail art made of pearls, stones and sharp spikes - is not suitable for every outfit. In addition, the concept of such a manicure, at first glance, does not fit into the fashion trends of nail design in 2017 at all. But the main idea of ​​​​such an innovation lies precisely in the sharp opposition of naturalness and naturalness, which is characteristic of specific youth subcultures or theme parties. In reality, such nail art looks somewhat intimidating, but at the same time, you can’t refuse it in original extravagance.

Linear geometry

The chaotic or ordered arrangement of various geometric shapes on the nails will not lose its relevance in 2017. Polygons, ovals, rhombuses and rays can be combined by some common feature - color, shape or size. On short nails, not too large, but not very small geometric shapes look best, the total number of which on one nail should be moderate (up to 3 pieces).

The main advantage of linear geometry in nail art is its versatility. She is able to miraculously transform even very short and fairly wide nails, visually stretching them vertically and narrowing on both sides. The main thing is to choose the right color scheme for this manicure (best of all - a dark background and lighter figures) and try to place the details of the images on the nail plate vertically or diagonally. But not horizontally.

Sequins, powder, rhinestones

Undoubtedly, for a social event, a fun pajama party, a wedding or a birthday, you will need a special - festive - manicure. The magical transformation of the standard nail design next year will occur through the use of additional brilliant decor - rhinestones, powder and sparkles. In the cold season, stylists recommend spending more shining details on decorating short nails, and in spring and summer, reduce their number to a minimum.

French on short nails

Nails decorated in nude style will help to look elegant and fashionable next year. In autumn and winter, for such a French manicure, lilac, gray, gray-pink and light brown shades are chosen as the background. The tip of the nail platinum is traditionally highlighted in white. And for the spring-summer season, more (but not too!) Bright shades are selected, reminiscent of the multi-colored diversity of nature: peach, pale green, light red, yellow, etc. At the same time, it is worth giving preference not to saturated, but to slightly “diluted” shades.

The classic jacket, which fits perfectly into the trendy concept of naturalness and naturalness, will also be very relevant in 2017. At the peak of popularity is the traditional French manicure, made with shellac in a standard combination of tones: a light pink base and a milky white edge of the nail.

If you want something special, but due to certain circumstances it is necessary to preserve the shape and style of the French manicure, you can try a black and white jacket with glitter. In this version, the background is usually painted black (you can use a matte finish), and the tip of the nail plate is bright white. After the drawing has dried thoroughly, glitter is applied to the free edge of the nail with uneven strokes (simulating drops flowing down).

Lunar manicure on short nails

Highlighting with white varnish not the free edge of the nail, but the holes at its base is no longer considered something extraordinary today. Rather, on the contrary, the moon manicure is currently a kind of classic "reverse" jacket. That is why, wanting to refresh the familiar "moon", famous designers every year offer interesting and unusual variations of this type of nail art. Next year's trends include:

  1. moon french, also called "combined" . It is characterized by simultaneous accentuation of both the hole and the free edge of the nail. As a rule, the smile and the hole are painted in the same color, but there are also three-color options, where coatings of different colors are applied to the background, the hole and the free edge of the nail.
  2. Matte glossy "moon" .Performed with shellac in bright contrasting colors.

Short nail design with shellac

Today, gel polish is one of the most popular coatings. It is convenient to work with it both at home and in beauty salons with special equipment. The special texture of shellac allows you to easily and quickly turn short nails into a real work of art: the drawings are bright and clear, the French manicure and the “moon” are more elegant. In addition, it is possible even on thin and brittle nail plates, not only decorating them with fashionable nail art, but also protecting them from mechanical damage and other negative external influences.

For a woman who is burdened with laundry, house cleaning and other work related to chemicals and detergents, it is quite difficult to keep her nails and the perfect shape of a manicure.

The best option in this case would be a manicure on square nails. It is this form that is not only as practical as possible, but will also become the main trend of 2017.

Varieties of square manicure

If you look at the photo of a manicure on square nails, you can see that they have three options:

  • square with clear corners;
  • square with rounded corners;
  • square oval shape.

Clearly marked corners are the most impractical option. They "cling" clothes, often break, uncomfortable for a working woman.

By rounding the nails by 45 degrees, and getting a softer square, you can significantly reduce the load on the plate and reduce the risk of delamination and breakage of the nail.

Manicure for short square nails is ideal for business style in clothes, it is convenient when working on a computer keyboard.

Manicure for long square nails significantly stretches the fingers, making them visually thinner and more elegant. But such a manicure is absolutely not suitable for owners of very short fingers with a wide nail plate.
