Nude French is a classic of nail art. Strict and concise French manicure is elegant and self-sufficient, however, there are many ways to breathe the fresh air of originality into it.

It can be bordered with rhinestones, filled with light pebbles, complemented by an exquisite flower.

Minimalism
The traditional execution of manicure in the spirit of minimalist trends is a monochrome coating. Solid manicure, designed in a gentle pastel color, is the best solution for everyday look, it will fit perfectly into a strict office dress code. Catchy gloss and velvety matte gel polish will look equally advantageous in a light feminine design. The combination of these two textures in one or two close shades, highlighting an accent nail - all this is appropriate for lovers of restrained design. We also allow unobtrusive, sophisticated decor in the form of a single openwork flower, small dots, thin stripes.
Romantic drawing
Perhaps this is the most diverse category, the boundaries for which simply do not exist.A thin autumn leaf on a beige background, a pink tulip on a white base, snowflakes, a branch of greens on mint - these are just a small number of ideas for every season of the year. There can be as many floristic motifs as there are flowers and plants in nature. And sophisticated butterflies, cute animalistic fantasies, geometry, lace, architectural masterpieces!
One of the latest innovations in design is wet painting, when they perform an ornament on dry gel polish. The blurry contours of the picture look nontrivial and very expressive. Do not forget about stamping, monograms, hieroglyphs, which perfectly fit into any delicate design.
Tenderness and shine
Foil, broken glass, glitter will not look too defiant in a manicure if you balance them with a calm, concise color scheme. The accents in any of these “brilliant” techniques on one or two nails look incredibly elegant.
Evening
Preparation for the celebration necessarily includes a detailed study of the image. A manicure can both add the necessary zest and spoil the whole impression. The design of nails for the celebration can be much more chic, spectacular and more expressive than everyday: exquisite compositions of rhinestones, sparkle of silver and gold, glitter and, of course, mirror manicure. In the evening manicure, decorative modeling is appropriate. Voluminous original floral arrangements decorated with stones at the celebration will not seem too pretentious.
