Where do trends come from
"Fashion" and "trends" are all the rage these days, but not everyone understands where they originated. Now let’s talk about color.
Pantone determines what hues are in style. A sizable group of marketers, designers, and directors examines the hues of clothing at fashion shows to determine which interior shade preferences exist.
Analysts, psychologists, and Pantone staff members all contribute to the process of figuring out why a specific color was chosen more frequently, as well as what it represents and the feelings it conveys. This is how the upcoming year’s must-have color looks.
Designs, prints, and techniques can be found at the aforementioned fashion shows. Fashion weeks are held annually in Milan, Paris, London, and New York. Designers of clothing and accessories choose pictures and pair them with the right manicure—transparent, French, or vivid.
Not to mention the stars. At award shows, concerts, and other "star" events, American actresses, singers, and businesswomen are photographed by paparazzi for their photos. They model manicures, clothes, and hairstyles. This is the appearance of trends.
Animal print
Though they have been popular for a while, animal-themed nail art will reach its pinnacle of demand in 2020.
Using a slider design or a brush and paints, you can manually color a leopard, zebra, or even a cow to create a chic design.
Acquire yourself:
- slider designs from Freedecor No. 81 with leopard print elements;
- sliders with snake-colored
Here are some suggestions for animal print manicures as inspiration.
Matte
For those who enjoy tranquility and coziness, the matte manicure is still fashionable in 2020.
A matte design can be used alone or in conjunction with a glossy one.
Use a specialty finish, such as Rio Profi’s, to achieve a matte look.
Micro French
A new trend, micro French, was introduced by designers at the end of 2019 Paris Fashion Week.
Instead of framing the free edge with a wide stripe as in the traditional French manicure, the micro French technique uses a thin one.
A thin brush can be used to manually draw the line, or stencils can be used. Milv offers a variety of French stencils in various shapes and thicknesses.
Minimalism
Similar to animal print, minimalism first gained popularity in 2019, but in 2020, you will undoubtedly be in style if you sport such a manicure.
Simple, nearly schematic nail art is the definition of minimalism.
Depending on the season, setting, and event, they portray:
- animal faces – cats, raccoons, wolves;
- flowers and plants;
- abstract patterns – lines, dots.
Purchase a thin brush if you are skilled at drawing to create minimalist patterns; if not, use stickers and sliders. The slider design of BPW features illustrations of various animal faces. Accessorize with №1-729.
Milk
The popularity of the milk manicure has returned thanks to American celebrities. It appears less dense than white and resembles water-diluted milk. To get the desired effect, use varnishes with a milky shade and a milk base.
Negative space
2020 is going to be another year that negative space design is at its height of popularity, marking the third year in a row. Simply cover the desired area with a stencil or a piece of paper tape to create negative space on your nails.
Transparent
A desire for naturalness has been a popular trend for the past two years. Because of this, women are starting to find transparent manicures just as appealing as French or vividly colored ones.
Rhinestones or minimalism-inspired drawings can be added to enhance transparency. The most important aspect is that the design allows the natural nail plate with its free edge and lunula to be seen.
Manicure trends for 2020 combined bright, bold colors with delicate, minimalist patterns to create a look that appealed to all tastes, from striking nail art to subtle elegance.
Blue color
And of course, the blue nail art. According to the Pantone Institute, 2020’s color will be classic blue.
Don’t stick to the traditional blue hue; experiment with different tones and combinations.
When combined with taste and proportion, fashion and trends are appropriate. Remember this the next time you’re considering a new nail art. Which 2020 trend did you find most appealing? Share your story with us in the comments!

My preference is for closer-to-natural hues and minimalism. I’ve been doing my own nail art for the past six months; it’s quick, lasts as long as gel polish, and looks just like your own nails.
Editorial staff
Looking back at 2020’s manicure trends, it’s evident that uniqueness and inventiveness were key components. Everyone could find something they liked, from striking hues to simple patterns, which let them express their individuality in fun and interesting ways.
2020 was all about going beyond the confines of conventional nail art, whether you experimented with bright colors, dabbled in abstract art, or embraced the return of traditional French tips. Making a statement and having fun with your nails were more important trends than just doing what’s trendy.
In the future, these developments will likely lead to even greater innovation in the manicure industry. Thus, never stop trying new things, stay motivated, and allow your nails to be a reflection of your individual style.
