French manicure never fades but this year it becomes more sophisticated . To the classic French manicure are added tone-on-tone decorations made with a micro-paint brush. Flowers are decorated but also animalier designs creating leopard gel nails combined with the French. When working on gel nails, you can also create 3D decorations that are in relief from the nail. The result is of great effect while maintaining the refinement and simplicity typical of the French. We will see this trend depopulated also on bridal nails.

BLACK AND WHITE GEL NAILS

Those who think that black nails are to be reserved for the autumn winter season is very wrong! Black nails will indeed be one of the most interesting 2020 gel nail trends. We will opt for combinations of alternating white and black gel polish on the nails to create graphics and designs with character, while floral and rhinestone decorations will be perfect for the most elegant occasions. A very popular trend is to combine matte gel polishes with glossy gel polishes, for an even more sophisticated effect. Among the black & white nail art ideas we see in photos floral designs, lace effect decorations, abstract symbols and zebra nails.

For those looking for ideas for simple gel nails we suggest those with two colors, one matte and one glossy associated with each other, but also half moon manicure style gel nails with light decorations and alternating transparencies along the bezel near the cuticle area. A touch of glitter can give character and originality to our nails, but we can also request linear and geometric decorations to be obtained with the strip lace for nail art.

RED GEL NAILS

The semi-permanent fingernails or gloss gel remain on top for a fresh look and carefree, while the matte nails are also perfect to create the accent nail art more details and bold.

The nails with semi-permanent or gel polish that are popular in view of the summer are those with polka dot decorations or with multicolor geometric designs and mosaic style . Eccentric and cheeky gel nails decorated with neon details , but the real trend to be inspired by is to paint the nails in different colors , a fashion rainbow perfect for those who love a more breezy and extravagant style!

ALMOND GEL NAILS

On the subject of gel nail shapes, almond nails will be the trendiest of the winter season, along with oval and squoval ones . Long gel nails remain the most suitable for particular decorations, for example leopard nails that are part of a general revival of the 80s style, combined with elegant gray gel nails . Geometric details, glitter tips and floral and vegetable themed designs lend themselves very well to decorate nails in soft tones, while with the water marble nail art technique we will obtain a very refined marble effect design . Once again, black will dominate among the winter 2020 gel nails.
