After two years of pandemic, the wedding sector is recovering; many couples have been forced to postpone and, this year, restaurants and locations are struggling to respond to all requests. The weddings of 2022 will be marked by rebirth and vitality. This spirit is already visible in all wedding trends, from those of wedding dresses, to those of decorations, to those of cake design, to those of manicure. We will talk about the latter in this article; we have chosen four main trends for this year's wedding nails.
H2: Semi-permanent nail polishes and Baby Boomer: gradient French nail art
For summer weddings the baby boomer nail art technique is a favorite for bridal nails. It is a version of the French manicure that prefers a sober and elegant effect. What is the main feature of the Baby Boomer ? the gradient effect instead of the white and defined bezel of the classic French. For this type of manicure it is necessary to choose semi-permanent enamels, preferably gel or acrylic that do not strain but allow you to blend easily. The harmonious nuanced effect is not easy to obtain for beginners and brides always prefer to turn to nail technicians for their manicure. However, if you want to experience it at home, you will find professional semi-permanent gel polishes online, such as those of Musa Nails . Online is also available everything needed for the execution: gel builder, file, UV lamp and Top coat. The faded French nail art has been depopulated on Pinterest for a year now and this year it will certainly be one of the most chosen among the brides of summer 2022. The most chosen degradé effect is certainly the one linked to the shades of nude or milky pink.
H2: Ballerina or almond shaped nails
Get ready to see, in all the weddings to which you will be invited, brides with nails with the so-called ballerina shape or coffin nails (the English term refers to the shape of the coffin). In order to appreciate the results and the potential of this shape it is preferable to make it on long nails, better if reconstructed in gel. What distinguishes the ballerina shape from the others is the base with diagonal and soft lines that converge on a straight tip; just the shape of a ballerina shoe. The ballerina shape makes the fingers seem more tapered and elongated , maintaining a sober style suitable for an important event such as a wedding. Although it remains a classic since the 1980s, we fear that the squoval (union of the square and oval shapes) will be overtaken by the ballerina shape this year. To make it at home, on gel reconstructed nails, it is necessary to use a file with a thick grain and proceed with the diagonal filing
H2: Nude and milky tones: simple and minimal wedding manicure
As for colors and tones, the 2022 wedding season opens with a clear prevalence of nude and milky shades . The favorite palette is certainly that of pink that best matches a minimal style. The one-color manicure is always a valid choice and also this year many brides are opting for this solution. In the air, however, as we said, there is a spirit of renewal and elements that give liveliness and refresh are added to the traditional. The single-color enamel is therefore combined with silver or gold glitter to give brightness.
H2: Bridal nails with nail art
This year's nail art for brides sees the emergence of elegant and sober 3D floral decorations and the use of shiny rhinestones and crystals. Floral motifs are very complex and require a great deal of experience and dexterity. Special gels are preferred for nail art in light colors, often white or silver. Rhinestones are mainly used to create subtle shiny lines. These are subsequently combined with shiny micro crystals at the points of connection between the lines.
