How long does it take until your next visit to the salon to see a manicure master? It all depends, of course, on which one you prefer: a standard classic with a regular varnish, gel varnish or acrylic build-up? There are many technicians today, and each one allows you to wear a beautiful manicure for a long time. Much also depends on how quickly your nails grow, because this is also an individual feature. And one more nuance is, of course, design.

mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ I found out from the leading masters of manicure which ideas of nail art will be win-win for the longest wearing - there are as many as seven of them, and there are even more variations on the theme. And as an addition: a couple of useful life hacks on how to save an already grown manicure. Now you don't have to run to the salon every 2 weeks: get inspired by our photos and save!

1. French on a transparent basis

It is already a tradition at mystylex.techinfus.com/en/: to start the list of the best manicure ideas with French. Well, this is not at all surprising: a jacket, both classic and trendy with different colors and decor, is the perfect option for any age, style and image. And yes, of course French would be a great idea to carry for as long as possible.

Choose a transparent base - this way the regrown nail will not be visible. If the nails have any imperfections in the form of specks or discoloration, you can take a translucent milk base - it will not be too noticeable either. To "extend the life" of French, you can independently cover your nails with clear varnish at home.

2. "Nude" manicure

No, this is not the same nude with enamel coating (although "nude" also translates as "naked"). These are completely transparent nails or covered with light translucent textures of varnish or gel polish. This nail design looks especially impressive on a short length, without a clearly grown light tip of the nail. It’s as easy as shelling pears to cover your nails with a clear firming agent, and you're done!

If you want to use it on long nails, choose a richer, opaque texture, but match them with the same color as your nail plate. The minimalistic design in the form of geometric shapes, stripes, delicate and subtle patterns looks great on such nails.

3. Ombre and gradient

Want more brightness? Tired of transparency, translucency and neutral nude? Do the ombre! Here, in any case, you can choose different colors, even the brightest or darkest shades. The best for the cold season 2020-2021 are classic blue, grassy evil, scarlet and burgundy, chocolate and purple.

Ask your master to make you an ombre transition from the middle of the nail to the tip - the further, the brighter. The base of the nail at the cuticle can be left completely transparent, without forgetting to cover the nail with the base first. Or you can use a beautiful nude shade to match the color of the nail plate: cream, milky, beige or pale pink.

4. Lunar manicure and covering from half of the nail plate

Everything is the same as with the gradient. But for an ombre, a special airbrush machine is required, or at least sufficient skills of the master so that he can make a similar design in some other way. But the moon manicure, which has become a real classic, can be drawn without any problems yourself. The idea is even simpler: cover from the center of the nail plate, when the base at the cuticle remains under the transparent base, and the tip is covered with color. A kind of French, only with a "smile" a little thicker.And it is not necessary to make it curved, you can stick a special sticker on the nail and simply cover the tip from the middle with the color you like.

5. Glitter and foil

Are you going to sign up for a New Year's manicure, but your master no longer has places before the holidays? Do your manicure in advance - you can even do it 2-3 weeks before the New Year. If you use glitter and sparkles, or a foil design, you can safely go with such a nail art for up to a month, or even longer. The secret, again, is to leave the base of the nail at the cuticle clear. You can also nude, matching the color of your nail plate. Then just cover the rest of the nail to the tip with liquid gel glitter, dry glitter, sequins or rhinestones, or apply foil. Shine, chic and beauty! And it is not visible how much the nail has grown.

6. Geometric minimalism

This is what we mentioned in the description of the design of "nude" nails. In general, the main condition for "long-playing" nail art is the presence of a transparent base on which you can draw anything you want. It can be floral motifs, animalistic design, and, of course, geometry that is incredibly relevant today. Graphic minimalism is what conquered the minds and hearts of designers at the shows fall-winter 2020-2021, and not only in clothes and accessories, but also in manicure. It is enough to cover the nails with a nude coating or a transparent base, and paint over several even stripes, parallel or intersecting, squares or triangles, points or circles - and the perfect geometry is ready!

Useful life hacks if the manicure has already grown

But what if you did not manage to do any of the listed options for a "long-lasting" manicure, and your nails have already grown a lot? And while there is no way to visit the master in quarantine or even remove your nails yourself? mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ has selected several useful life hacks for you on how to “save” an already heavily grown manicure.

• If the length is already such that the nails begin to bend in the opposite direction or even break, they should definitely be filed. Choose a coarse file with a high abrasiveness if you have acrylic or gel nails, or are covered with several dense layers of gel polish. For regular manicure and thin finishes, select a finer abrasiveness.
  
  
• If the coating still visually "stands up to criticism", but is already peeling from the base of the nail at the cuticle, cover it with several coats of clear varnish. A dense layer of varnish will allow you to solder the flaking areas, make the entire nail glossy and extend the manicure for at least another week.
  
  
• If the last time you covered your nails with too bright and saturated color, and it is already very clear that the nails have grown back, you can use a glitter. Take gold or silver lacquer or sequins and make the moon reverse. This nail art involves covering the nail at the very cuticle under the bend with a sparkling shine. Stylish and long-lasting!
  
  
• It is also a great option - to stick stones, one or even several, on the grown nail near the cuticle. Visually, this will create the effect that it was intended, and you just visited the wizard. Dots, stripes (especially longitudinal) and other patterns that will accurately affect the area of ​​the regrown nail also work.
