And completely new and sometimes unexpected combinations of matte finish and other elements of nail decor and design are in fashion. We invite you to get acquainted with the most important matte manicure trends for 2020.







Matte nail coating: main features, advantages and disadvantages.

To begin with, it is worth saying a few words about how a matte effect on nails is achieved, what are the features of a matte coating, what are its pros and cons. After all, it depends on how comfortable it will be for you to wear a matte manicure, and for what occasion you want to do it.

1. Features of matte manicure

A matte finish is usually a clear top for gel polish or a clear polish that adds a matte finish to an already applied color base. It's convenient: you can use any color of nail polish or gel polish, and top it with a transparent matte top. There are options for a matte top with textured splashes: the effect of "velvet", "sand" or "villi". With such coatings, you can create the most interesting designs on the nail plate.

A matte finish requires some nuances of its application. First of all, you need to align the nail plate well. Indeed, even the slightest irregularities and grooves become visible on the matte finish, which is not visible on the shiny gloss. And apply the base to the nails to match the color, the color itself and the top coat should also be very careful. The matte finish itself must be chosen very carefully, trusting professional products and cosmetic brands.

A matte manicure is great for any nail length and shape. Today, the trend is the average length of nails in an oval and almond-shaped design. Square nails, especially long ones, are a thing of the past. But the square shape looks great. on short nails, besides, it is very convenient and practical. You can also try the "ballerina" shape: narrowed and almost oval, but with a straight cut off the tip.

2. Benefits of matte manicure:

• "Velvet" matte manicure allows you to show the color of varnish or gel polish in all its depth and beauty, therefore matte finish is especially loved by fans of classic monochromatic design;
  
• a matte manicure does not require any complexity in the processing of nails or the application of coatings: everything is done in the same stages and in the same time as a regular manicure, unless you want to make some special design or decor;
  
• The matte finish is quite resistant, even more resistant than glossy, because it will not fade and scratch if done according to all the rules.
  

3. Disadvantages of matte manicure:

• requires the initial alignment of the nail plate to hide any indentations, depressions or seals in the nail;
  
• requires a fairly accurate application and great care, therefore it is best to do a matte manicure in the salon with an experienced master.
  

As you can see, there are far fewer disadvantages than advantages. And with the new matte manicure trends for 2020, you won't be able to give it up at all.





If you closely follow the latest in the nail design industry, then you know that matte manicure has been in fashion for a long time.But if matte monotony was previously appreciated, today at the peak of popularity is mixing gloss and mat textures, as well as adding new decorative elements and nail design. Here are the top trends in this direction for 2020.

Matte manicure with a glossy pattern

This is a great option for mixing gloss and mat textures, which we mentioned above. On a matte background, a pattern can be painted with a glossy varnish. Or vice versa, the outlines of matte figures appear on the gloss. What to choose for the background is your decision. You can also cover only a few nails with a matte top, leaving the rest glossy.

Also a great option is a matte-glossy French manicure, when the “smile” on the nail, which is usually done in white, will be glossy, and the nail plate itself will be matte. Or, again, vice versa. This approach will make it possible not to make an advantage in favor of only a matte finish, it will look new, unusual and very original.

Matte manicure with glitter and glitter

Here's another win-win for both the holidays and every day. It's simple: mix the matte finish with shiny glitters. You can do the same as in the case of gloss: cover several nails with a mat, and cover one or two completely with sparkles. You can paint patterns with silver, gold or colored glitter on a matte surface. You can do the same French. Do you want everything at once? Then combine matte and glossy finishes in one color and add glitter to it!

Matte manicure with stones and rhinestones

Rhinestones cannot let go of the beautiful half of humanity in any way. This is not surprising, since the best friends of girls are diamonds. And even if not diamonds of pure water, why not rhinestones on the nails? At the same time, sparkling stones look much more impressive on a matte finish, and not on a glossy one. Indeed, on shiny nails, they will be lost and shine not so brightly.

Choose a rich color as a background matte coating and complement it with white, colored (in tone or contrast to the background) or stones shimmering in all the colors of the rainbow.

Matte nails with rubbing

Do you remember what a nail polish is (some call it "grout" or simply "powder")? This is a special fine powder, a powder that is applied to nails covered with varnish or gel polish, literally "rubbed" into the plate. The rubbing gives a special shine to the nails, it can be holographic, mother-of-pearl (like pearls or shells) or mirrored (like foil and metal). There are other options, but these are the most popular.

So, rubbing, as a rule, is covered with a glossy coating on top in order to shine to the maximum. But have you ever tried applying a matte finish on top of a rub? She can play in a completely different way! It is worth trying on some colors and it is best to use bright and not too dark colors. Do not forget that here, as in the case of gloss, you can combine a rub in with a glossy finish and a matte finish on several nails.

Matte French manicure

French will always be in vogue. Probably, there has not yet been a season when the jacket would not have been relevant. After all, this is a real classic and maximum naturalness. But in addition to the traditional glossy French coat, you can safely use a matte top coat. So the jacket will be endowed with a special chic and will look completely new.

Do not forget to draw a "smile" on the tip of the nail plate especially carefully and evenly, as a matte top reveals all the imperfections and makes them more visible.

Remember that in 2020 it is not a classic jacket with a wide smile that is in fashion, but with a very thin exquisite strip at the tip of the nail. In this case, it does not matter at all how long the nail itself will be. It is also recommended to take an opaque background for a jacket, especially if you plan to cover your nails with a matte finish. We also advise you to pay attention to the beautiful variations of the color jacket with different combinations of shades, especially to pastel colors for spring and brighter and more juicy for summer.

Matte moon manicure

Almost the same as with French: moon manicure will be relevant almost always and everywhere. It will suit any look and any situation. It is only important to choose the right background color for the moon manicure. As a rule, it is bright and saturated, because the nude one will be simply “invisible” if the hole is not painted over. Red and black moon manicure is considered a classic. Muted blue, dark green, warm orange, turquoise, burgundy and pink are also in vogue this year.

All these shades are recommended to be applied to the nail plate, leaving the base of the nail, the hole, unpainted. And on top, of course, cover with a matte top - then the deep background color will sparkle in a new way. And you can also paint the nail in one color and cover it with a matte top, and draw the hole itself in a different color, or several. A great option for a holiday or a weekend, and just raising the mood: making the hole with sparkles and glitter, or foil elements - it will turn out even more beautiful and festive.
