We all agree that one of the easiest ways to keep up with beauty trends is at the tip of our fingers. Changing your nails is a pleasure and an easy way to recreate with colors, textures, designs, and shapes.
Over a couple of years, we have experienced somewhat of a nail craze. While makeup and hair used to give us our aesthetic spices, nails are becoming an essential part of beauty.
Following, we have compiled the best short nails ideas for 2022.
Nailscapes
A hint of escapism never hurt anyone. By 2022, Pinterest predicts that nails painted with dream-worthy innovations inspired by nature will be all the madness.
The research found that searches for galaxy nail art are up 115 percent since last year, geode nail art is up 200 percent, ocean nails 500 percent, desert nails 105 percent, and aurora nails 400 percent.
Colorful French Tips
The colorful French manicure tips will also be making big hype in 2022. This manicure is dainty but features a hint of color at the tip. We can add with fun twists like love heart ends and chevron finishes.
Mix Of Shapes
For a universally flattering nail shape that’s great for long and short nails, go for ‘squoval,’ a mix of the traditional square and oval nail shapes. Round out the edges of your nails using the Nail File for a sleek, fashionable-looking manicure.
Press-On Nails
While we love coloring our nails, not all of us are Picasso. Fear not: press on nails will be in style, and it is as easy to carry and light to your fingers as real ones.
Nail Stickers
The press-on nail market is going to be explosive in 2022. Don’t want to do your nail art? No problem. Just throw on a nail sticker and call it a day. These handy stick-on designs have been rising during the last few years.
Matte Topcoat
You don’t need a specific color or nail shape to make a statement. Adding a matte topcoat on top of any shade has a transformative effect. Over metallic, it looks steel, and over cream, it seems velvet over pearl, satin. This finish will be trending all year.
To achieve this trend, throw on a matte topcoat, such as Essie’s Mattifying Top Coat, after you’ve finished painting your nails.
Fresh Nails
Fresh neutrals are timeless. Clean cuticles, nourished skin, and a thin layer of sheer nude to complement your skin tone will remain a trend in 2022.
Micro Mani
Random minimal details, such as micro hearts, stars, or pretty much anything you like, are a fun yet subtle way to spice up any manicure. And while nail stickers are a super-easy way to achieve a professional-looking finish, if you’re feeling creative, you can get the look with polish, too.
Hearts are surprisingly easy to paint. Decant a little polish onto a palette, place two dots on the nail using the end of a bobby pin and then join them up with a nail art brush to form a point at the bottom!
Expensive Blue
Blues will be the color of 2022. They look cool as a detail on a nude nail or worn as a black color.
And it can be worn in several ways. Try a deep, navy-blue hue like CND’s High-Waisted Jeans for winter. Try creating an ombré of blue shades on each hand in spring—it’s so easy to replicate at home.
Animal Print
Shake off any prejudices you have around animal print on nails because, in 2022, it’s going to look chicer than ever before.
Animal prints are here to stay. At Rodarte S/S 22, we saw the zebra print flawlessly painted onto nails, creating a bold and striking statement. And it’s not just zebra print that’s set to hit the big time; cow prints can also look creative.
Bright and Bold
Potentially the most significant overarching nail trend of 2022 will be a significant continuation of creative nail art. We will see a rise in those asking for more complex and brighter nail art.
What’s more, this trend encourages people to get braver with practicing their nail art at home. If you want to explore your creative side, why not invest in a gel lamp and keep your handy work lasting longer
Hot Red
A clean, bold-colored manicure — like hot pink or red — brings a sense of fun and vibrancy back to people’s lives.
Some people looking down at shiny, sparkly little works of art on their fingertips is a reminder of who they are: awesome people carrying on with life, enjoying the little luxuries of pretty nails, even on the hard days.
