The main trends in bright 2021 manicure are neon, matte finish and bold color combinations. We share the most relevant ideas for inspiration. Feel free to experiment with techniques, shades and materials!
1. Yellow manicure
Yellow in all its versatility will be at the top of all popularity ratings until the end of 2021. There are shades for every taste: from delicate vanilla to acidic lemon or elegantly mustard.
2. Red manicure
Red is such a classic that cannot be considered in the context of trends at all. Red manicure has always been, is and will be. In 2021, we recommend paying attention to pure scarlet shades without impurities and pink undertones.
3. Green manicure
In the warm season, feel free to choose the brightest herbaceous and light green options. And if you want a more discreet manicure - try the dark, but still very expressive emerald. Green is also very harmonious in all plant and floral motifs.
4. Blue manicure
If you are not afraid of experiments and bold decisions - take ultramarine blue. In 2021, it is especially relevant in combination with a matte top, foil or silver designs.
5. Manicure in pastel shades
The pastel palette is a compromise when you want to add color, but make a delicate and elegant manicure. Combine pastel variations of yellow, orange, pink and purple in every possible combination.
6. Orange manicure
Intense orange color invigorates and cheers up. Pair it with other citrus flowers, black contrasting patterns, or a neutral beige underlay.
7. Pink manicure
Pure doll pink isn't too hot this year. But he is very good at multicolor designs, as an accent in abstract and geometric manicures, and also in a duet with gray and silver.

8. Matte bright manicure
Since matte tops came into vogue, there hasn't been a season that's complete without them. Look for matte gradients and streamers in vibrant colors - yellow and green, orange and pink, blue and purple.
9. Cat's eye
We are more accustomed to dark saturated "cats", but over the past year the palette has become significantly richer. Try red, blue, green, and even complex iridescent finishes.
10. Diagonal manicure
In fact, this is one of the variations of the color block technique, but it looks very advantageous and elegant on nails of any shape and length. Diagonal lines visually lengthen the nail plate, and with it the fingers as a whole.
11. Bright watercolor drawings in manicure
The peculiarity of watercolor drawings is their tenderness and lightness. But this does not mean at all that they should be dull and boring. Use the entire rainbow palette, layering pigments and create eye-catching smudges.
12. Contrast manicure
Contrasting manicure is not necessarily black and white. It turns out even more original with bright colors. For example, black with orange, white with blue, yellow with purple, pink with blue, or even red with green.
13. Hands of different colors
A very popular trend is the coloring of nails on different hands in different colors. The most common problem in a nail salon is what to choose when everything is so beautiful. Now you don't have to choose!

Stamping plates allow you to create a design of any complexity in a matter of minutes. They are especially good for contrasting manicures when black prints are made on the colored coating.
15. Gradient manicure
Gradients and ombre in 2021 reach a new level of complexity.Now you can safely make transitions between any bright colors, and even paint a real sunset sky on your nails from yellow and orange to pink and purple.
16. Rainbow manicure
This is the same multi-colored manicure, but brought to the maximum. Feel free to paint your nails in all colors of the rainbow. Even if everyone has their own coverage - in 2021 it is quite acceptable!
17. Bright sequins
With silver and gold sequins, everything is clear. But there are also multi-colored ones - red, blue, pink, green and purple. They work especially well on a calm, neutral backing that only enhances their beauty and shimmer.
18. Manicure with flakes
Metallized flakes are always colored, and always give complex and multifaceted play. This is why they are so popular in bold designs as accents. Most often they are applied to a black substrate, but this is by no means necessary.
19. Manicure with confetti
Jars of multicolored confetti of all shapes and sizes are flying like hot cakes in 2021. They can be used to make stretch marks, minimalist designs or completely cover the nail plate.

You can experiment as much as you like with the most complex transitions, drawings and stickers. The main trend remains only the presence of several accent nails instead of a monochromatic coating.
