It has long become a classic of nail art. It is preferred by both brides and businesswomen. But everything is changing and an unusual jacket has come into fashion - multi-colored, with patterns, using rhinestones and other decorative elements. You will learn more about its varieties further in the article, and photos of interesting manicures will demonstrate their beauty.

Simple change

To make an unusual jacket, you just need to abandon the usual shades - flesh or pink in combination with white.

Even bright, saturated colors on the “smile” line together with a neutral nail base can look interesting, but at the same time be appropriate in everyday life. If you complement them with appropriate accents in makeup and clothing, the image will not be boring, but not too colorful.

And fans of bright colors no longer have to worry about choosing the most beautiful color for a manicure. To make an unusual French manicure, you just need to paint the entire nail with a neutral beige shade of varnish, and paint the tips of the nails as you wish.

Bright, pastel or neon - all colors are good. Their variegation will be balanced by a calm beige base.

If you have basic nail art skills, then decorate the smile line with white polka dots, which can be easily done with a special manicure tool with a round ball at the tip. Using a very thin brush, apply glitter polish between different colors to complement this unusual jacket. A photo of what you should get is presented below.

Special finger

You can very easily add a twist to even a simple manicure if you paint one or two nails differently than the rest.

The simplest, but very effective solution is to turn the jacket over on two fingers. It looks like below.

Another simple option is to paint one nail with the same color as the smile line. Varnish with large sparkles adds a special elegance to this nail art.

On the eve of the winter holidays, you can give preference to varnishes of bright, rich colors. Large sparkles and snowflakes will only emphasize the seasonal mood.

Fashion effect

The combination of regular varnish and varnish with a metallic sheen looks striking. For example, glossy burgundy color harmonizes interestingly with silver.

Golden tips turn a simple manicure into a stylish and sophisticated one. They will look equally good with bright rich colors and neutral ones.

The combination of metallic and pearlescent or matte polish is an easy way to create a fashionable, unusual French nail polish. A photo of one of the options for this manicure is presented below.

Popular gradient

Smooth color transitions have become fashionable in everything - from clothing and interior design, to pumping up makeup and nail art. A standard French manicure requires clear lines, but an unusual French manicure may deviate from this rule. A slightly blurred contrasting tip of the nail and a smooth mixture of two different shades looks gentle and original.

But the gradient can be done not only within one nail, but also on all fingers of the hand at once. Below is an example of what this might look like.

This option is a little more complicated, because the gradient area is smaller and it must be very neat.

Elegant clarity

If you still prefer strict lines, then there are several options for how to diversify the jacket.

For example, you can make the “smile” strictly rectangular, and between two contrasting colors of varnish make a thin strip of a third color.

Or even completely “reverse” the manicure. For example, place a “smile” line at the base of the nail and on the side.

For real craftswomen

To make an unusual French nail design with a pattern, you need to have good nail art skills or go to a beauty salon. But the result is worth the effort.

Let's start from simple to complex. For example, these manicures look very neat, but at the same time flirty and playful.

And making them is not so difficult, since the bows are ready-made. Of course, you need to practice applying them, but after you learn this technique, doing a patterned manicure will be very simple.

White butterflies are made in the same way against a French background with red tips. Stickers can be replaced with a stamping plate.

Delicate floral patterns are wonderful companions for French manicure. These can be either individual flowers along the edges of the nail plate or small roses that form a “smile” line.

You can limit yourself to one large complex pattern on the ring finger. And small thin patterns on the remaining nails will complete this unusual jacket. You can see the photo (this manicure also fits perfectly on short nails) below.

It can be difficult to choose a design that would look harmonious in a small area. But there are still many interesting options for such a situation. For example, in this manicure, the “smile” line is formed by thin multi-colored lines, which look quite bright, but do not create the impression of being compressed and overloaded.

Small rhinestones only complement this beautiful abstract pattern.

The following example, although it seems simple, requires very careful and delicate work.

You need to try to make it blurry and not just a chaotic jumble of color spots. But if you do everything correctly, you will get a very delicate unusual jacket with a slight echo of the gardens of Provence.

The nails of some of our contemporaries look like a painting, the ornate design on them is so skillfully executed. This option requires, at a minimum, a lot of time. But everyone knows a way to quickly transform their nails - a French jacket with a pattern.

How to properly apply a French pattern on your nails

Every girl knows what French manicure is and how to do it. This is an ideal nail art option for everyday life. The process of its implementation is not particularly complicated, it does not require much time and money, and the effect is amazing. Moreover, the French jacket suits all styles and outfits. But most importantly, it makes the girl’s nails neat and well-groomed, her fingers long, and her hands refined and delicate. And it doesn’t matter what shape the girl’s nails are: this manicure will suit round, sharp, and square nails.

But modern nail art offers to diversify the usually discreet jacket, making it brighter, more interesting and attractive. Now you can create a new style of French manicure yourself, using drawings and all kinds of decorations. And bright colors will make it more original. Therefore, French nails with a pattern will suit every girl, will make her everyday life more interesting and will help express individual preferences and tastes through a bold and original manicure.

Classic nail art with flowers and beads

A classic in this type of manicure is the use of a French manicure with a white free edge of the nail and a pink nail plate. This option is the closest to naturalness and naturalness. You can use any shade of pink, but it's still a classic.

The next stage in the evolution of French is the use of different colors to paint the free edge of the nail. Red, pink, black, blue, blue French and its other incarnations have become fashionable. Next, we began to change the shape of the smile of the nail. It was stretched out and made longer, given a diamond shape, and drawn to look like a heart. And, of course, it shone with a variety of colors. After this, a combination of bright varnishes, dark and contrasting manicures came into fashion. For example, nail art with a light purple base and a dark nail tip. Also, all the edges of the nails were made of different colors or shades.

Geometry lesson :)

But today, the most fashionable are beautiful French nails with a pattern, decorations, with a colored or simply white moon, with a fuzzy smile line and, of course, varnishes of any shades you like. It is also fashionable to apply a pattern to the free edge of the nail. In a modern jacket, flowers, insects, geometric patterns, abstractions, hieroglyphs, lace and curls are most often used. And for decorations, rhinestones, sequins and beads are often glued on.

Lace print option

New types of French manicure with patterns

There are various options for this jacket. Some are brighter, others look inconspicuous, others have an extensive pattern, and others have a laconic design. You can apply the design only to the ring finger, to all the nails at once, or try to paint them according to Feng Shui. You can also work exclusively with white or black, red or blue, green or purple, and so on. There are no limits to the flight of fancy, but there are still a number of the most common and harmonious options for French art.

One of the most favorite types of French manicure is colored manicure. This kind of nail art is refreshing, attracts the attention of others and causes admiration, but only if it is harmonious and beautiful. And when a woman has done her own, author’s colored manicure, which delights everyone around her, then she has every right to feel happiness and pride in herself, the good girl. Therefore, if you want to make life more interesting and brighter, you can simply apply a colored jacket to your nails. Of course, you'll have to tinker a little with the drawing, but it's worth it!

You can use any colors for this manicure, but there should not be too many of them. It is better to use a maximum of four colors. Subtle floral motifs are popular all year round. For example, a rose or an orchid is a great option even for a winter manicure. In summer, daisies are popular, and in autumn, asters.

Flowers do not have to be painted on every nail. If you wish, you can draw on only one or two. If the flowers are large, then the number of buds is inversely proportional to their size. But you can make as many small flowers as you want. The order in which the buds are placed is not important. An interesting option is a manicure with flowers on the free edges of the nails, their chaotic arrangement along the entire nail plate, in the corner of the nail, in a bunch or in a single line. One of the modern methods is to divide one design into two or more nails, as if it did not fit completely.

The design does not have to be the same on all nails. The drawings may look different, but belong to the same topic. For example, there may be a bud on one finger, and a bright butterfly on the next finger. Or on the ring finger there is a cat, and on the others there are traces of its paws. It turns out to be a very interesting jacket.

A unified manicure theme with an accent in the center

A manicure using beads is quite unusual. This jacket is mainly festive. At the same time, hands look elegant even without rings. One finger, two or all at once is selected for decoration. You can use beads to create some kind of pattern, or evenly lay them out over the entire surface of the nail. It is very good if they are all multi-colored. But you can also use rhinestones, sparkles, stickers, mica, lace or feathers for work.

For painting at home, a stamping kit will be useful. You can also use dots. A bright gradient manicure looks great on natural nails. You can paint only the free edge or the entire nail plate. Any colors can be chosen. The main thing is that the shades go according to the degree of lightening - from the edge of the nail to the base.

It is important to combine colors correctly so that it turns out beautifully, harmoniously and to match the outfit. And for artificial marigolds there is a great option - aquarium design. In this case, the nail decor is located under a thick layer of transparent varnish. For some materials this gives a voluminous shine, for others it gives depth of color, and for others it simply gives a powerful hold.
The latest trend in French manicure fashion is the combination of matte and glossy varnishes in one manicure.

Combination of matte and glossy varnishes

The classic French manicure has made fashionistas happy thanks to its simple application technique and the fact that the French manicure goes harmoniously with any look. The standards of beauty and fashion do not stand still, but develop at rapid speed, changing everything in their path. The classic French jacket has also undergone changes, becoming more fashionable and vibrant. Instead of the usual light and neutral shades, a large selection of different colors and their combinations opens up. There is no limit to imagination.

Types of French manicure

French manicure “change of positions” - all accepted stereotypes are broken here. There was a change of places between the classic colors: the tip of the nail - pink, beige, brown, the plate - white. You can combine, for example, gothic colors such as pink and black, where black is the tip.

French “inverted” or moon manicure - where the tip of the nail is considered to be its base, so the “smile” line at the base of the nail (the hole) is painted white, and its entire surface is painted black or another color you like.

Colored French - choose varnishes of the same color, but of different shades. The edge of the nail is covered with a darker varnish, and the remaining surface with a lighter one, or vice versa. Or the free edge is decorated with drawings or rhinestones, but preferably only on one selected finger of each hand, so as not to overdo it.

Millennium French is a festive version of the French. The tip of the nail is laid out with various shiny and sparkling materials - these are sparkles, mica, glitter dust and microdust, rhinestones.

Funny or wedding jacket - this style has no boundaries, as it contains a huge variety of decorations: artistic modeling, dried flowers, and even fresh flowers, fimo in the form of various fruits, berries, money, etc. They decorate only the tip of the nail, thereby preserving the traditions of the French style. All small parts can be left outside or sealed under a layer of gel.

New form - the differences affected the border line that separated the tip of the nail and the rest of its area, the so-called “smile”. This line began to be drawn not only in the shape of a smile and a crescent, but also in an oblique shape (both left and right), triangular borders, vertical borders, and also zigzag ones. Color solutions remain solely with the author.

Extra French - the colors of the two sections (tip and base) can be completely different and contrasting. The basis of this style is to draw a line of the free edge of a radically different color. For example, the tip is blue, the surface of the plate is yellow, and the “legendary stripe” is gold.

French manicure has brought the nail industry to a new level, which has its own aesthetics and rules. And now, the main rule of the new French jacket is the complete absence of rules! Create and give free rein to your limitless imagination!

Fashion trends, new products, trends - every season they come up with something interesting. It is not always possible to keep up with innovations, and this is not necessary. The established classics remain in fashion.

In manicure this is a white French manicure. It's difficult to find something more perfect. A neat, aristocratic look will suit absolutely any length and shape of nails, will perfectly emphasize the elegance of the hands, and is relevant for every outfit.

Why the white jacket has become a classic

The relevance of nail design changes quite often. New nail art techniques are being developed, fashion dictates its own rules.

Despite this, white French on nails remains held in high esteem. And all because it has a number of undeniable advantages:

• suitable for any occasion (for a holiday or every day);
• looks equally good on the nails of ladies of different professions;
• the shape and length of the plates does not matter;
• there is no need to carefully select an image and style;
• hands with a French jacket look feminine, well-groomed, elegant;
• accepts additional methods of nail decoration;
• creation does not require special skills or cunning tools.

The versatility of this manicure has made it a leader among the variety of nail designs. How delicate and soft a white French coat looks on nails can be seen in the photo of fingers decorated in this style.

How to make the perfect French jacket

French is always a win-win option for covering nails. In order for the manicure to be perfect, you just need to carefully perform the treatment and draw a successful smile line.

If these conditions are not met, hands with a French jacket will begin to repel rather than attract attention.

To achieve unsurpassed coverage even at home, you must follow the following recommendations:

Drawing a smile line by hand is not always possible for an experienced artist, so to be on the safe side, it is better to use special stickers.

They are well fixed, allowing you to accurately draw the correct strip. After applying the line, without waiting for the varnish to dry, the Velcro is torn off with a sharp movement. This way the white line will be neat and will not require correction.

If you are dissatisfied with the result, there is no need to rush to permanently erase the coating.

Minor adjustments in the form of additional decor can save the situation. Rhinestones, sparkles, designs or just stickers can cover up imperfections. You don't need to be able to draw.

The main thing is to have a sense of style. Asymmetry can become the “highlight” of a new decor.

A white jacket with a pattern always looks fashionable and stylish. Complementing a classic coating is not only a way to eliminate shortcomings, but also an opportunity to diversify a strict image.

At the same time, varnishes of different colors can serve as decoration, because white French nails with a pattern combine perfectly. The classic base will be the perfect backdrop for any decor.

Shellac coating “white French”

French manicure with shellac coating is somewhat more difficult to perform. There are 2 application options:

• separate execution of each zone;
• overlapping one of the layers.

Practical experience indicates that it is better to do the background coverage first and then draw the smile line. The step-by-step instructions are as follows:

Careful nail treatment. Particular attention is paid to grinding and degreasing.

Apply base coat, dry for 2 minutes using a lamp.

Distribution of the background shade over the main surface. As a result, the edge intended for the white coating should remain free. After application, dry for 2 minutes.

White shellac is spread along the free edge, and drying is carried out in the same way. In case of unevenness, the procedure is repeated.

Particular attention is paid to the end of the nail. It must be carefully processed without going into the inner surface.

Applying topcoat, drying again. Finally, the sticky layer is removed.

The advantage of shellac is that before drying you can adjust the resulting layer as much as you like. The described method allows you to do this most easily.

Decorating a white jacket

Looking through a photo of a white jacket, you can note how good it is on its own, but additional decoration is suitable for a special occasion. To do this you need to do:

• distinguishing between the white edge and the background using a contrasting color, for example black;
• applying glitter or rhinestones to the free edge. The plates of the ring fingers can be completely covered with this decor;
• making designs on several nails. These can be abstractions, flowers, curls. Use contrasting shades, foil, stickers;
• decor using newspaper or “fur”.

White French is an ideal field for imagination. Decoration can be very diverse. The main thing is that the design emphasizes style and image.

White French is always a good choice. This coating will add elegance and expressiveness to any appearance. Will make the owner a stylish lady.

The white French manicure is a classic of French manicure; it looks extremely gentle, elegant and feminine.

The classic French manicure is a white edge of a nail on a naturally beige, pale pink or transparent background, which looks very natural. This nail design is amazingly universal, it suits everyone, regardless of age, shape of nails, their length, and most importantly, it is equally beautiful both in everyday life, in combination with a T-shirt and jeans, and during a romantic dinner or gala reception, when you are wearing a luxurious dress.

Classic white jacket

This incredible and original idea once came to the mind of an American cosmetics company owner, entrepreneur Jeff Pink, the idea of ​​a manicure that would go amazingly with any outfit - from everyday city to elegant evening. First of all, Hollywood actresses liked this design, since they had to repaint their nails several times a day, depending on the chosen outfit.

The idea behind the newest design was to cover a pale pink nail with clear, light pink or beige polish, and a bright white rim on the tips of the nails. Fashionistas all over the world were delighted when they saw how feminine and graceful nails looked, decorated in this way.

They began to call it “French” a little later, when before a fashion show in Paris, Pink suggested that one fashion model paint the tips of her nails with a bright white color. From that moment on, French's position became even stronger. Today, white French manicure has become the embodiment of impeccable style and femininity.

Clue! Before applying clear polish to your nails, try whitening them with a special pencil. If you use it regularly, the minerals included in its composition will additionally strengthen the nail plates.

French in black and white

Autumn is a favorite time to spend time in a cozy blanket, with delicious coffee, and it’s time for delicate, romantic lace on your nails. Do you want to be in trend? In this case, black and white lace is exactly what your hands need!

At the top of popularity, as last season, remained a translucent veil, painted with black varnish with yellow or white splashes.

For girls with long nails, elegant black lace with an original smoky transition is perfect.

Fashionistas who like to stand out will prefer black and white lace with aristocratic monograms this fall. Moreover, it will look incredible if three fingers are done in white and the rest in black. And on the second handle it’s the other way around.

The black and white design of the jacket, decorated with a veil and lace, looks incredibly feminine and sophisticated. Perfect for everyday life and special occasions.

The white classic with a lace veil also looks quite nice and sophisticated, and it is also universal, suitable for all occasions.

For fans of floral themes, we have also selected several ideas for inspiration. Butterflies, flowers, and flora on an elegant veil look great on both short and long nails.

Lunar and reverse design

It is believed that for the first time, Lady Gaga came up with the idea of ​​​​coating the area near the cuticle with contrasting varnish, not the tips. Nowadays, the lunar French design has also become a classic; by the way, the painted area in this case really looks like the moon.

This inverted jacket, like a regular one, can be combined not only with pastel pink and colorless colors, but also with others: from bright red to deep black.

The reverse jacket looks very original, in which the main area of ​​the nail plate is painted over with white varnish, and only the tips are covered with bright varnish. The combination of matte and glossy varnishes looks great, especially if you use gold and silver compounds in a similar nail design. Of course, white can be replaced with any other shade. But today we will talk specifically about those French ideas in which this color plays a major role.

Clue! Even very short nails can be styled as a French manicure. The contrasting edging in this case will be narrow and run along the very edge of the nail plate. Short nails can also be designed in the style of a reverse or lunar French.

Drawing on the ring finger

Most often, it is the ring finger that stands out with its pattern. With this design, a white French manicure will look very original. You can draw the pattern by hand or stick it in the form of a slider. The ring finger can be decorated in different ways. You can depict a white pattern on it, or accent it with a contrasting shade. Delicate lace, figures made of rhinestones and even images of characters from your favorite cartoons will look unusual.

White painted addition

Using a white design as a decoration is an excellent solution for connoisseurs of tenderness in manicure.

A pattern in the form of white lace or a scattering of flowers will look unusually romantic. This option, by the way, is well suited for a wedding manicure; its incredible romance makes this possible.

Addition black painting

The harmony of black and white in nail art has long been a classic. A double French jacket looks great with a combination of these tones. This idea looks brighter than the classic version, but at the same time it is universal, extremely stylish and always appropriate.

Black color is ideal for drawing stylish geometric shapes on your nails. This design is now at the peak of popularity.

In addition, the combination of white and black is often used to draw all sorts of collars and ties, which, of course, presuppose the presence of a white smile.

Another original option is a white French design on a black background. This combination looks moderately strict and quite stylish.

Red painted addition

If you chose a combination of white and red for your manicure, then you also made the right choice. It can be complemented with rich red lipstick. In such a combination of colors, patterns in a floral motif look ideal. You can also decorate your nails with stylish vintage polka dots. Such an ensemble can be complemented with a third, black shade.

blue painting

Decorating a white jacket with blue painting is a great idea for a trendy nautical design.

Marigolds can be complemented with stripes, you can depict starfish and anchors. This is an amazing choice if you are going on a long-awaited vacation to the sea and want to decorate your hands with a corresponding stylish manicure.

The combination of blue and white suits young ladies with a cold color type. This design is quite noticeable and catchy, but not provocative.

Hollywood

Nail art in this style was first demonstrated by a Christian Dior model at one of the fashion shows. Its main difference is a thin line that runs along the smile line. The classic look is the separation of the main part of the nail plate from the edges of the hole or regrown nail. In the process of performing an asymmetrical jacket, it can change shape and position.

The width and color of the strip are also arbitrary. Depending on the idea conceived, it can be drawn not only with foil, and even with rhinestones.

Clue! The original lunar design, unfortunately, has one feature - it can visually shorten the nail. Therefore, if it is very wide, then it is better to do the classic version.

Millennium

A distinctive feature of this jacket is the separation of the tip of the nail with silver or golden varnish, or a composition with glitter or fine metal dust. This design idea is ideal for parties and dinner parties. It’s easy to do, and this nail art looks unsurpassed!

Be sure to consider using formulations that create a cat-eye effect. In addition to the varnish itself, the kit includes small magnets of a special shape. If you bring them to half-dry nails, the smallest metal dust is arranged into original patterns. After coating with this varnish, the edges of the nails visually become voluminous and shimmer with every movement.

Clue! A high-quality, good varnish should not be very liquid, but also not reach for the brush. It is necessary to check its color on a tester before purchasing. Because it depends on the color of the bubble itself.

Twist French

This style belongs to the new white French manicure - it involves the use of not two, but several colors at once, mainly from 3 to 5. In this case, the tips or the hole area are filled with several bright stripes.

Their color should be selected based on the overall intended image. So, white goes well with red, purple, blue and other bright colors. A black and white stripe drawn along the edges of the nails looks quite original, especially if you decorate it with shining stones.

Unconventional ideas

And really, who said that the tips of your nails need to be painted over only in the standard way? Modern girls have long modified the form of classic French nail art. A white French coat in 2017 can be rich with a wide smile line, the shape can have an asymmetrical arc, contain stripes across the nail, various triangles, waves, squares, broken lines and other elements. This style is convenient because of its versatility; it can be worn with any outfit.

​ ​​ ​

You can decorate hotel nails in the same way. For example, make a few nails in a classic style, and the remaining couple in an asymmetrical style, which will create a sharp contrast against their background.

Clue! Glossy and matte varnishes can be combined even on one nail. For example, the edges can be separated with shiny varnish, and the main part can be left matte.

Rhinestone decoration

There is not a single woman in the whole world who would not want to feel special and different from others. However, at first glance, it will seem to you that making a French jacket special is not so easy, but in reality. there are many different ideas.

You can complement your French manicure with painting. You can depict flowers, moths, feathers, birds, floristry, abstractions, which are done with white gel polish or acrylic paints. In winter, a variety of snowflakes are relevant. As a rule, designs are depicted on only a few nails, but if they are small, then you can apply them to each nail.

In addition to white images, stylized images or patterns drawn with a thin black line look very stylish - such a contrast emphasizes the sophistication of French manicure.

There is another unusually feminine idea - lace. The openwork fabric can also be depicted on only a few nails as an accent, or you can decorate all the fingers. An excellent option would be if the lace pattern is not made on the entire nail plate, but only on the tip, in the shape of an openwork smile. However, such a drawing is quite difficult to do manually, so you can use slider stickers.

Rhinestones will add notes of luxury and glamor to the French jacket. They are perfect for a holiday, and in small quantities they will also be relevant for everyday life. You can even lay out a whole design on one nail with rhinestones, or you can decorate each finger with one or two stones, they will resemble drops of dew.

For short nails

On short nails, French looks unusually neat and stylish. It harmonizes perfectly with the lunar design, with a highlighted white moon. At the same time, the nail itself can be left transparent, or made colored, because white color is friendly with absolutely all shades.

Which drawing should I choose? In this case, everything depends on your mood. If you want to add romance to your image, you can decorate your fingers with floral painting, draw polka dots or bows. Pink would be a very appropriate color here.

Geometric painting looks great on short nails, so you can diversify the French a little by turning your smile into a triangle or square.

One of the advantages of short nails is that the brightest combinations and colors will look great on them - they will in no way give the image a vulgar look, as it can look on long nails. White can be combined with an acidic neon shade.

It will harmonize perfectly with rich dark tones like burgundy and blue. You can also use rhinestones for decoration.

By the way, the French coat visually lengthens the nail, so if you want to achieve a similar effect, we recommend choosing a white smile.

Ideas with designs for sharp nail shapes

Recently, the acute form has become very fashionable and popular. In this case, the French jacket is also relevant, moreover, it is an ideal addition. But it is important to remember that with this form, bright details and colors should be used in moderation so that the composition does not look too provocative. Geometric shapes look great on sharp nails. You can leave most of the nails transparent with a white smile, and paint original abstract patterns on only a few.

Please note that the sharp shape is ideal for classic combinations. Black and white harmony perfectly complements the overall picture.

What other patterns and paintings can be depicted on sharp nails? On long ones you can place absolutely everything you want. The names of popular fashion trends look interesting in black and white colors or, for example, you can depict the Eiffel Tower. Due to this, your pens will look especially elegant.

With a sharp shape, you can make not only an oval French design, but also a sharp one, imitating the shape of the nail itself. Such a manicure will definitely attract attention and make your personality attractive and energetic.

Complementing a white jacket with a pattern on square nails

A white smile adorns square nails and endows their strict shape with tenderness. You can try applying animal prints, depicting a zebra pattern.

Lace and floral designs will look great on these nails. The color scheme is up to you to choose. You can use both bright and classic combinations.

Millennium nail art, which looks like a brilliant “smile,” looks amazing on this nail shape.

You can also combine white with gold, shiny black or silver. Leave the nail itself transparent, since the manicure will be quite bright without it.

Stylish ideas for extended nails

Using French on extended nail plates is exactly the classic option that is preferred by millions of women around the world. When choosing a manicure design, it is very important to consider the length of your nails. For extremely long ones, simpler options are best.

Black abstractions and patterns will look great on a white smile of extended nails. This kind of nail art is considered classic, and at the same time attracts with its uniqueness.

Long nails are an excellent basis for double and even triple French. The main thing is to choose the colors correctly; they must be combined.

Over the past few years, fruit motifs have gained enormous popularity. For example, you can do a classic French manicure and add a couple of nails with limes, cherries or watermelons. In the hot summer period, such nail art perfectly matches the situation, and in winter it will delight and warm, reminding you of summer, which will definitely return.

French in combination with other nail art ideas

If you open any page on the Internet dedicated to this nail art design, you will see a huge variety of such combinations. Classic French design can be combined with all existing manicure ideas:

• Ombre (gradient);
• Lunar design;
• Marble - visually it may seem that thin stone plates are glued to the tips of the nails;
• Cat's eye;
• Sugar (sand) - involves the use of varnishes with a special composition in the form of small inclusions;
• Rhinestones and drawings and others.

Clue! Pearlescent and glossy varnishes are more relevant to use in the summer or to complement an evening look. Matte finishes are ideal for the cold season.

White French ombre

Initially, the technology of gradient, smooth transition of light and dark, or contrasting colors was used for dyeing fabrics, and soon stylists began to practice this with nails and even hair. Moreover, this gradient ombre is not difficult to recreate yourself. To do this, you need to use a fine-pored sponge (or best of all, an old sponge), white varnish as a base and any color, maybe with glitter:

1. Cover the nails with a colorless base coat;
2. On a piece of foil, using a brush, draw two stripes: colored and white, so that one overlaps slightly with the other;
3. Using a piece of sponge, saturate the resulting mixture of varnishes;
4. Now you need to carefully print the result on one of the nails;
5. Apply varnishes to the foil again and repeat the steps;
6. Dry your nails. If the coating is not completely even, it’s not a big deal, it will be covered with finishing varnish;
7. We dry our nails and admire the resulting handmade masterpiece.

Clue! You should not dilute dried varnish with acetone; it is better to use a special thinner. This way the composition will be more uniform and of higher quality.

Let's move on to execution.

• To do this you will need two varnishes: white and any contrasting one. We will also need:
• Nippers for cutting cuticles;
• File for giving the required shape to nails (with coarse abrasive);
• Buff for grinding the plate;
• Transparent coating that can also be used as a finish;
• A thin brush for painting or a special stencil for French.

After the cuticle is carefully processed, the ends are filed, and the nails are polished, you can begin to create a romantic jacket. If you have some experience, then you can simply draw it by hand with a brush. But in this case, we will learn how to do it using stencils that are sold in stores. You can also cut them out of simple tape with scissors.

So, let's begin:

1. First of all, you should degrease the surface of the plates with a cleaner or nail polish remover;
2. Then cover them with a transparent base varnish and wait until it dries completely;
3. Next, you need to completely cover your nails with varnish of the required shade;
4. As far as we already know, the white strip can be placed both on the edge and in any area of ​​the nail hole, depending on the selected option, carefully glue the stencil in the right place. For a perfectly straight line, the stencil should rest slightly on the skin;
5. Using a regular nail polish brush, you need to paint over the selected area. To get a perfectly flat surface, you can use a very convenient “fence” technology, in which each subsequent movement of the brush slightly overlaps the previous stroke;
6. Drying your nails:

To make your manicure last longer, try to paint not only the surface, but also the end of the nail; to do this, run the edge of the brush along the edge.

White French manicure with gel polish

This style of nail art has been relevant for many years. However, its peculiarity lies in its fragility - the classic or lunar design quite quickly loses its beautiful appearance due to the white color, on which chips and microcracks of the coating quickly form. Another thing is the use of gel polish, with which a lovely manicure will last for several weeks and almost in its original form. Is it possible to create such a masterpiece at home?

Naturally, for this you will need:

• LED or UV lamp

For domestic conditions, you can use a low or medium power lamp. Manufacturers recommend using lamps with a power of 24 watts or more, but using lamps with a power of 9 watts is just as effective.

• Gel polishes

In this case, you will need a light pink or beige base and white color. You can also leave the stock transparent. If you want to make a colored jacket, first select the desired shades. For lunar manicure, we recommend using more contrasting tones. It is very convenient to paint elements with gel or acrylic paint; it does not spread and is applied in a thin layer.

• Top and base

Depending on which brand of gel polishes you purchased, you may need to use additional products, for example, a primer, which helps improve the special coating on the nail.

• File and buff for polishing.
• Nail polish remover or degreaser.

If you can’t draw the lines of smiles evenly, buy a special brush or stickers, this will make your work easier, especially when making a lunar design.

Also prepare tools for a hygienic manicure - in this case, carelessness is unacceptable.

In order for the design and manicure to turn out perfectly stable and neat, as if from the pen of a master, you should put in a little effort and follow all the steps of the specific instructions. Let's start with preparation:

Before applying French gel polish, you must remove the remnants of the old manicure, clean it up, and give your nails the desired shape. The cuticle must be removed extremely carefully so that there is no void left between the nail tissue. There is no need to apply oily care products yet.

Use nail polish remover to degrease your nails.

Sand the surfaces with a buffer; for thin plates the soft part is used, and for healthy nails the harder part is used. The end should also be processed. Grinding is done in the direction of nail growth, but in no case vice versa.

Arrange the lamp comfortably in advance and arrange all the necessary tools.

After the plates are degreased, you cannot touch anything, otherwise particles of fat will get in, which can subsequently make the appearance of the handles unpresentable, and the manicure itself may not be reliable.

Any version of a French jacket using the technique of creating gel polishes is performed exactly the same, with the exception of colors. Let's give an example of creating classic French nail art.

• If necessary, apply primer to the previously prepared nail surfaces and allow it to evaporate completely for a few seconds. This product should be carefully applied to the root of the natural nail plate, smoothly moving towards the free edge.
• Apply a thin layer of base and dry it under the lamp.
• Cover your nails with the base color and dry. If necessary, the procedure can be repeated.
• Draw a smile line with white color. You can use any convenient method: a hair brush, stickers, or a brush from the same varnish. . After drying, you can apply an additional layer of white varnish.

Clue! Don’t worry if the line turns out to be slightly uneven, because there is a magic trick in manicure with gel polish - mistakes can be corrected with a simple hygiene stick or a special corrector, and the pattern itself and the base will not be smeared, as happens in manicures with ordinary varnishes. It is extremely convenient if this line is overlapped by the selected design.

• If the drawing is done with paint yourself, you can use a thin brush, but with long bristles. Acrylic paints can also be applied in two layers, and there is no need to dry it.
• Secure the masterpiece with topcoat and dry.
• Remove the sticky layer from the surface.

When finished, be sure to apply a moisturizer, rub it into the periungual tissues and cuticle, first in one direction, then in the opposite direction. This procedure is carried out for the health of your nails and the beauty of your hands, and not for the quality of the manicure. At this stage, the oil will not damage the design in any way, much less spoil the overall composition.

The background and the smile line can be drawn separately by connecting them in the right place. In this case, the edge will be more blurred. Correcting the joint line is also very simple. However, at home, especially when you are just learning how to work with paints and gel polishes, it is better to use the classic application option.
