A manicure can be anything - it all depends on your tastes and preferences. But each age requires some peculiarities and even restrictions, except, probably, youth. In addition, the lifestyle and occupation have a great influence on nail design, because a manicure should match the style of clothing and be appropriate where you spend the most time. mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ will tell you what shades of nail polish should be used by business women over 40 years old, and which of them will be the most fashionable and relevant today.

Shape, length and ... personal comfort

Let's make a small digression in the direction of which shape and length of nails should be chosen. If you spend most of the day in the office and working at the computer, very long and pointed nails are unlikely to be comfortable. Preference should be given to an average, comfortable length, so that the free part of the nail is not longer than half of the actual nail plate. Short nails will be the most comfortable for both business and homework. Moreover, today the short length is very relevant - it is a win-win option!



The form can be any. If you are used to wearing a square one and do not plan to give it up, wear it to your health! Just remember about the length: too long square nails are definitely not in trend today. The same applies to stiletto nails that are too sharp - they are unlikely to be comfortable with. Today, the trend of oval and almond-shaped nails prevails in the field of manicure, and in medium length. But even long enough nails in an oval design will look natural, sophisticated and very elegant.



However, the length, and the shape, and even the shade of varnish is what you choose yourself. If you cover your nails with transparent varnish for a long time and do not like bright colors, wear it to your health. If you are used to bright red and skillfully combine it not only with business, but also with usually casual clothes - this is your choice! Either way, you should be comfortable with a touch of manicure. But we can't help but share the most relevant, relevant and trendy nail design colors for business women in 2020.

1. Win-win nude

This is generally perfect option absolutely for everyone. Sportswoman, mother, housewife, business woman - nude manicure will be appropriate absolutely everywhere and always, it will suit any image, style, age and way of life. "Nude" in English means "nude", that is, in fact, a nude manicure is a manicure without a manicure. This can be understood as a classic French manicure with a pale pink, cream or transparent base and a white "smile". It can also be an option with a completely transparent nail coating, for example, a strengthening base. It can be milky, cream and beige shades.

2. Caramel and chocolate

Caramel and chocolate shades can also be classified as nude, but still they are more self-sufficient. The caramel color of the varnish with a yellowish-orange undertone is not suitable for all clothes. It is unlikely to be combined with cold shades of things in your look. In this case, it is better to choose a neutral sand, beige color or a shade of coffee with milk. But if you decide to wear a camel suit, feel free to combine with it a manicure in the same shade and warm caramel tones.

Dark chocolate and cherry brown will work with most outfits and go with many wardrobe colors.

3. Gray

Gray is considered achromatic, along with black and white. That is, it will be combined with absolutely all colors of the spectrum.But it can be very different, and here you need to proceed from your color type, more precisely - from the skin tone on your hands. If it is pale enough, it is better to choose the most neutral gray color or light gray shades with a bluish undertone, and avoid dark graphite ones.

For a warm tone of the skin of the hands, gray colors with warm brown and beige tones, as well as dark graphite, are suitable. Gray with a metallic effect looks good: shine conceals the pallor of the skin and adds zest to the manicure.

4. Red

We have already told you about red manicure many times. This is a real classic that women all over the world love so much. Red looks great on nails at any age, and after 40 years it only adds sophistication. In addition, red shades are more than acceptable for a business manicure.

Avoid flashy scarlet tones, neons and felt-tip pens - they will be more appropriate during the vacation. But for the office, the classic "bloody" red, rose-red, tomato-red, shades of cherry, burgundy, marsala, terracotta are suitable. We draw your attention to the fact that red will be more appropriate on short and medium length nails, but certainly not on too long ones.

5. Gold and silver

Think gold and silver are only appropriate for celebrations? Not at all! We, of course, do not mean now foil coating, bright sequins, sequins and rhinestones of gold or silver color, and other rather flashy manicure options. But a golden or silver pearlescent coating is quite appropriate for office manicure.

You can choose varnishes with the smallest glitter and cover all your nails with them, or you can combine gold and silver varnish with any of the above shades, using it only on 1-2 fingers on your hand. The light shine of such coatings makes the skin slightly radiant, respectively, the hands will look younger!
