French manicure is considered a classic timeless design. It emphasizes the tenderness and beauty of female hands. But under the influence of fashion, many interesting variations have appeared that add the desired zest to different styles and images.
What form of nails is suitable?
French is a universal manicure that looks great on any form of nails. However, the oval shape is considered to be the most suitable and almost traditional - it suits all girls and favorably emphasizes the femininity of onions.
Women who dream of the maximum length of nails should choose the shape of the peak. She makes her fingers thinner, longer and sleeker.
For those who can not afford a large length of nails due to the specifics of work (for example, on a computer), a short length with a rounded tip is perfect. French looks impressive even on short nails.
Before applying manicure, nails of any shape must be processed. So, at first the previous coating is completely removed. Then the cuticle is removed and the skin is moisturized with a cream, a small part of which can be left around the nail. This is necessary so that the varnish coating that fell beyond the surface of the nail can be easily removed.
Next, you need to select the type of service jacket. It depends on the style of clothing and the impression that you want to create or strengthen. Most trending options for this design involve the use of additional shades.
Color schemes
The main rule when choosing a color scheme is compatibility. Tones of one color scale are well combined.In contrast to the generally accepted opinion that only pastel shades are admissible, modern designers recommend using bright colors.
For the summer period, warm colors are more suitable. with juicy tones of pink, orange, light green. They are able not only to decorate hands, but also to cheer up both the owner and others.
With the onset of cold weather, the cold color palette becomes more relevant: shades of blue, gray and black are used for French.
With their help, you can create real works for winter reasons. There are tones that can be used throughout the year - they include nude. They are considered the most universal, as they are closest to the natural.
If we consider the choice of color from the point of view of the general stylistic direction of the image, then there are also small new items. First of all, they relate to geometry. Nails in this style are an element of a romantic and feminine bow. Accordingly, the entire range of strict contrasting combinations is introduced by designers into a classic bow. It is recommended to dilute such a manicure with rhinestones, sequins and sparkles.
Design
One of the latest trends in the creation of French manicure is the style of broken glass. This effect can be created using colored foil or holographic stickers. It looks bright and expressive on long nails of any shape.
Another unusual novelty of the service jacket is a combination of matte and glossy coatings. In this case, the tip of the nail does not have to be made white. You can choose any color and dye it with a matte variation of the main part of the working surface, and glossy - the tip.
Such a manicure looks neat and unusual. A small raid of mystery is created - the very highlight that many girls dream of.
The french jacket with a pattern does not fade away. This style has a lot of variations. Along with the classic curls of a drawing-veil on the ring finger, the ideas of minimalism come into fashion. So, a semantic drawing in the form of a smiley or abstractionism from messy lines will be an excellent option.
Based on the French, you can create a 3D manicure. To do this, use stucco and gel polish. This method allows you to save the decor for a long time.
And of course, do not forget about the moon manicure, which is optimally combined with the French style. It is not necessary to follow the classical technique of execution. The rounding at the base of the nail can be replaced with a triangle of contrasting color. This technique in combination with the shape of the nails in the form of a peak produces their maximum lengthening.
Design Ideas
A creative, bold and sophisticated form of design is a twist-French. In the classic version - these are several colors applied to the tip of the nail. It looks especially impressive with a square shape of nails. For the design, both gentle tones and bright contrasting ones are like.
The modern twist style is not limited to this.
Specialists of nail art offer asymmetric coloring of the tip with a white tone with the addition of a small pattern or floral pattern.
You can also arrange a jacket without resorting to the traditional line at the tip. Instead, you can apply a shiny nail polish in the form of a pattern of asymmetric lines along the contour.
The millennium style jacket is also trendy. The base in this case is decorated with light varnish, and the tip is completely contrasted with a bright color. Glitter and foil are acceptable. This option will be a great addition to an evening outfit. Effectively on the tip of the nail look and varnishes with a halogen effect.
Application
Making a French manicure at home is easy.
To do this, prepare:
- stencils for drawing the tip;
- several brushes for painting;
- transparent or translucent base varnish;
- colored varnish;
- topcoat;
- cotton pads;
- nail polish remover.
First, the surface is treated with a varnish base and thoroughly dried. Then glue the stencil to the tip of the nail to get a beautiful line. White varnish is applied to the edge of the nail and the contour sticker is peeled off. The tip is also dried. After that, you can proceed to the decor. Different brushes are applied with colored varnish. Make another drying and cover the nail with a finish fixer.
In the end, it is especially important to wait until the varnish has completely dried, since a slightly dried surface can easily be damaged.
If the decor gets on the skin around the nail, it must be removed using a special liquid. If a moisturizer was previously applied to the contour of the nail, then it is enough to simply wipe off its residues with the varnish with a cotton pad.
