French manicure is loved by girls around the world. He is very elegant and feminine. Today there is a wide variety of options for this design, so everyone can find something of their own. Let’s figure out how the jacket can be, and how to make it more original.
What could be the design?
We are used to seeing French manicures in a classic version, but designers and nail designers every year offer us unexpected versions.
Here we will consider the main design options of the manicure itself that are relevant at the moment.
- Classical. A universal option that is suitable for both publication and everyday life. It is so beautiful and elegant that does not require additions. At the same time, the nails look as natural and neat as possible. If you make such a manicure with shellac, then there is another significant plus. When your nail begins to grow back - it will not be so noticeable.
- Lunar. This species got its name because of the special allocation of a part of the nail, called the hole. It is located at the base of the marigold and has the shape of a crescent. If you look closely, this is the color that a natural nail has, that is, this area differs in color from the rest of the plate. In this case, the tip is also highlighted in light color. Such harmony creates a delicate, sophisticated look.
- Hollywood Already from the name it is clear that such a design must be luxurious and eye-catching. And there is. To create this type of jacket, they do not take the usual light colors for the design of the tip, but very saturated and contrasting.And the base itself can be absolutely any color. Such originality and brightness is suitable for bold and decisive natures.
- Millennium. Its main difference is the presence of sparkles on the tip of the nail. Moreover, today specialized stores offer a lot of options. This can be a varnish with sparkles, and a special glitter or shimmer, and powder, and shiny adhesive tape. Which of these products to choose is up to you. It all depends on what you want to get as a result. With the help of powder, you can make a stretch of color, and foil or tape will provide rich gloss and clear lines.
- Art. This is an option for those who are bored with the classic design of French manicure. There are no restrictions or rules. It’s just that the jacket itself is used as a base. But what to depict on it further, everyone decides for himself. It can be exquisite lace, and a scattering of rhinestones and sparkles. You can draw complex patterns and drawings, or you can use the sliders and stickers, focusing on one or two nails.
- Spa This option is close to the classic. It is distinguished only by the lack of clear boundaries. To create a gentle transition from a beige base to a white tip, you will need to use a special device - an airbrush. He sprays the varnish, creating a beautiful gradient, you can also find the name ombre. These two species differ in the degree of sharpness of the transition from color to color (the borders are more pronounced at the gradient).
Actual colors and their combinations
When choosing a particular shade for a French manicure, it is necessary to take into account the tonality of the clothes with which you will wear it. A universal option here is unchanging classic combinations. They fit almost any style and color of clothing. Bright colors look harmonious if they are repeated in clothes or accessories.
- Nude shades. Delicate and discreet, they create a concise image. They do not attract attention, while the manicure will look very aesthetically pleasing. This gamut includes beige, pale pink, powdery and beige-gray shades. Do not think that such a manicure is boring. Classics will always remain in trend and look relevant in any situation.
- White and black. A contrasting combination that has not gone out of fashion for many decades. It is not for nothing that the Japanese symbol of yin and yang is made in these colors. These are two opposites that feel great together. By repeating this duet in manicure, you can be sure that it will combine perfectly with both the classic style of clothing and with more unusual bows.
- Red. There are many shades of this saturated color. Therefore, each beauty can choose the option that will be relevant and acceptable specifically for her. Many are afraid of such brightness in manicure. In this case, it is worth trying calm and muted tones. A manicure will not lose its brightness, but will not be very striking.
- Light shades. There are a great many of them. All primary colors have both dark and light colors. Brighter ones, such as light green or pink, are more suitable for summer and spring. For the winter months, blue and gray tones are perfect. Universal, as mentioned earlier, will be nude shades.
- Dark tones. Such a manicure is quite extravagant and unusual. But if you choose classic black or blue tones, they will perfectly combine with a wardrobe in a classic style. Since it is these colors that are present in most business suits. If you are afraid of such a saturation on your nails, then you can use dark shades for the tip. This design will not look too bright, but will not lose its extravagance.
- Bright and neon colors. This option is suitable for younger and younger people. Neon colors are full of cheerfulness and optimism. Multi-colored tips look very bright.This is a great option for the summer. They can be safely supplemented with floral design or kamifubuki. The latter will give even more sunlight.
Pattern Options
You can also transform your nails with the help of drawings. Design options are completely dependent on your imagination and preferences. It is worth observing a sense of proportion, since if all the nails are covered with drawings, then you can end up with a complete bad taste. A gentle accent on one or two fingers will only decorate your hands.
- Fruits. You can create a sunny mood on your nails with citrus fruits. Simply garnish the tip of your fingernail with lemons or oranges. Also, slices of kiwi or strawberries will look interesting. Of course, this design is more suitable for vacation or summer.
- Animal world. Familiar to all leopard and tiger prints are no longer so popular. But do not think that animal drawings are limited only by these options. Think about decorating your manicure with colors in the style of birds of paradise or exotic butterflies.
- Flowers They will always be relevant. Here you can consider both options for fairly bright and saturated roses and chrysanthemums, and more tender tulips and forget-me-nots. Branches with kidneys look very elegant. You can apply a flower both on the jacket, and as the design of the tip.
- Space. This design requires a lot of space. Therefore, displaying the beauty of space at a small tip is quite difficult. A long free edge can save the situation. Or give one whole nail for design. This option will look interesting and exotic.
- Thematic. It can be absolutely any design suitable for a specific topic. Only relevant for a short period: birthday, New Year, Halloween.
How to choose a decor?
Even the calmest manicure can be varied with decor. In specialized stores, there is a large selection of various elements. They can be combined with each other, or used separately. The main thing is not to overdo it. An experienced master can easily tell you the best options and combinations.
- Rhinestones. These bright pebbles will reflect both artificial and sunny color. Even in a small amount of rhinestones significantly transform any manicure. Many are afraid that they will fall away or interfere. But modern technology allows you to securely fix them on the nail. So that they do not stand out and are not scratched, they are covered with a finish coating.
- Sparkles. With their help, you can make a bright accent or decorate an existing picture. An interesting option would be a peculiar ombre effect. To do this, the edges are covered with a rather dense layer, and closer to the base the number of sparkles is minimized.
- Kamifubuki. You can create the illusion of sunbunnies on your own nails with the help of special shiny circles called kamifubuki. They come in different colors, so the shade can be matched to any shade of varnish. At the same time, the design will not work overloaded or artsy.
- Sliders These are special stickers. They can be on a transparent or color basis. Even a novice can cope with them. If you are doing manicure with gel polish, then the sticker is attached to the sticky layer, and after that it is fixed with the finish coating. When working with simple varnish, it should be applied to the nail, when the varnish is still not completely dry.
- Lace. There are several design options.
- The lace itself can be absolutely any color.
- Lace can completely decorate the entire tip of the nail or just frame the border of two colors.
- Lace can be drawn both along the line of a smile, and obliquely.
- You can perform this design with a brush or stamp, or with a simple sticker.
We take into account the shape of the nails
The result in manicure depends not only on the length of the nails and the chosen design. Of great importance is the form.
- Oval. The ideal form that suits absolutely everyone.Even if by nature your nails are not perfect, using stable materials such as gel or acrylic, the master can strengthen and correct them, and as a result you will get beautiful and delicate nails.
- Square and soft square. They differ from each other only in rounded corners. Great for french. In acute angles, it is better if the length is medium or longer.
- Pointy. The pointed shape requires a rather large length, since on short nails it simply will not look aesthetically pleasing. French, on the other hand, looks very extravagant and feminine at the same time.
Novelties and Performance Ideas
French manicure with lace looks very feminine. At the same time, even a novice can cope with such a design, if you use sliders.
The oval shape of the nails is perfect for a classic French manicure. It is difficult to imagine a more sophisticated and sophisticated look for a lady of any age.
