Fashion in manicure constantly fluctuates from minimalism to real painterly masterpieces. Especially for you, we have collected the main trends and tendencies in everything related to drawings on nails in 2021. We share interesting design ideas for all occasions!
1. Fashionable nail art
Complex drawings will be relevant, but a simple color scheme - 2-3 shades for the entire manicure. Animal prints and light lace stamping are back. The original combined designs with sequins, foil and rhinestones remain.
2. Minimalistic nail art
Small solid hearts, bows and simply abstract patterns from lines are the main stars of 2021. Most often these are black drawings on beige or light pastel varnishes.
3. Abstract drawings on the nails
Abstraction is good for its uniqueness, because it will be difficult to make two identical designs even if desired. Spots, blots, brushstrokes, chaotic lines and stripes are all back in fashion. But it is better not to overuse the number of colors - 3-4 will be enough even for a bright manicure!
4. Drawings on nails with dots
Single points randomly located on the nails look beautiful and impressive. But for complex patterns there is even a special definition - dots manicure. By the way, speaking of points, one cannot fail to mention the return to the trends of "quail eggs".
5. Watercolor nail art 2021
Complex multi-colored designs are encountered less and less. But color watercolor has been the queen of designs for several seasons. Manicure masters use a special liquid pigment, which is enough to drip a little - and now it spreads beautifully over the coating.
6. Animal prints on nails
Leopards and zebras are back on the nails of fashionistas. And along with it - prints of a cow, Dalmatian and snakeskin. The more original, the better. In addition to hand painting, stamping plates and stickers are used.
7. Geometric patterns on the nails
Geometric patterns are unlikely to leave trends for the foreseeable future. They are too good, graceful and at the same time simple to perform. You can even make such a design yourself, because it does not require complex artistic skills.
8. Strokes on the nails
Manicure with strokes is worth highlighting separately among all abstractions and improvisations. For example, black and white strokes look very stylish on a colored background or multi-colored ones on a beige one.
9. Drawings on nails with glitter
In 2021, glitter is used not only for all-over coverage, but also as a design element. Gel and glitter varnishes paint wonderful geometry, and individual shiny details beautifully set off abstract and floral patterns. At the end of the day, you can simply sprinkle glitter on top of the design, or use a shimmery top.
10. Drawings on nails with foil
Random foil prints work best with abstract designs and brushstrokes. Or you can use them as a substrate for geometric and floral patterns.
11. Stickers with pictures on nails
In creative designs that combine different techniques and patterns, stickers make life a lot easier. Especially when you need small and subtle details or neat lettering. And also - if detail and clarity of lines are important.
12. Nude manicure with drawings
Laconic everyday manicures in 2021 are also very creative and original. Most often they are decorated with small contrasting patterns in black or silver. You can also use white or all pastel colors.
13.French manicure with drawings 2021
A classic jacket has long been complemented with one or more accent nails. And just they can be very beautifully decorated with drawings to match the jacket itself. Or leave the traditional white and add some watercolor.
fourteen.White nail art
White patterns on a light base give the effect of a delicate lace veil, so it turns out very feminine and elegant. Against a dark background, light patterns give an original and unusual contrast, but here you definitely need a dense and well-pigmented varnish that would overlap the base and not shine through.
15. Black drawings on the nails
Black designs look great on all shades of pastel and beige. They can even be paired with bright neon colors. But the real manicure trend of 2021 is black patterns right over a translucent beige or milky base.
16. Plant drawings on nails
Graceful twigs and leaves look very gentle and romantic. And they also have a nice bonus: due to the fact that they are usually elongated long lines, they visually lengthen the nail plate.
17. Manicure with stamping 2021
Stamping patterns are in no way inferior to drawings, but it is faster and more convenient. There are small details that can be used in minimalism and abstraction. And there are large patterns that tightly cover the entire nail.
18. Airbrushed Nails
Airbrushed designs in 2021 are more diverse than ever. Instead of a simple ombre, you get interesting multicolor gradients, space and nautical designs, sunset sky and whatever!
19. Black manicure with drawings
It is difficult to draw on a black surface, and that is why such drawings are always immediately striking. Be sure to try the matte finish - very stylish and trendy.
20. Wedding manicure with drawings 2021
In wedding manicures, pay attention to minimalism, floral motifs and white lace patterns. They can be supplemented with a stretch, sequins, rhinestones or stones.
21. Drawings on oval nails
The same smooth and rounded lines are harmoniously combined with the oval shape. Therefore, even geometry is built here according to this principle. Leaves, buds, flowers and twigs look especially delicate.
22. Drawings on square nails
Geometry of all types and stripes looks best on square nails. And also - a jacket with drawings and vertically elongated abstractions that make the nails visually longer. Diagonal lines have the same effect.
23. Drawings on almond nails
Elongated smooth lines look great on the almond shape. And also - large drawings, which otherwise would seem too cumbersome and complex.
24. Drawings for long nails
Japanese-style designs are great on long nails. In this case, you can just experiment with more complex designs!
25. Drawings for short nails
Dots, strokes, minimalism and quail eggs look best on short nails. Avoid sharp horizontal lines and stretch patterns vertically.
