In 2026, manicure trends are moving away from overloaded designs, bright prints, and complex compositions. The focus is shifting to the luxury of simplicity effect, with colors and textures that look understated, confident, and high-status even without additional decoration.
RBC-Ukraine explains which manicure styles are currently in fashion.
Pistachio
Pistachio has emerged as a new alternative to nude. It’s soft, fresh, and unconventional, yet not loud. This manicure looks expensive thanks to its complex undertone and pairs perfectly with both minimalist outfits and more romantic looks.

Matte Black
Matte is back in trends, but now in a more restrained and elegant presentation. This manicure is free of aggression, shine, and contrasts. Its clean, deep color looks expensive precisely because of the texture.
