Ideas for designing a dark jacket on nails

French manicure is a favorite in the nail industry and has not gone out of fashion for quite some time. However, modern trends in this area are forcing away from the classics to more bold images of this manicure. Therefore, the French manicure was replaced by a fashion for a dark jacket on nails.

The French manicure in the classical sense can rightfully be called the standard of grace, tenderness and aristocracy, but the jacket in dark colors is not at all inferior to it in attractiveness. In addition, he has a number of advantages.

• Simplicity and speed of application. Such a manicure can be easily repeated at home, while not having special skills. Using special stencils to create a jacket will take a little time, while the result will be of high quality.
• Universality. It will look equally good on both long and short nails, while it does not need to pick up a special outfit, because it is suitable for strict classics and sparkling club bow.

• Practicality and long period of use. With the use of gel polish, the manicure will last longer and practically will not be afraid of external negative factors.
• Spectacular and attractive look of nails. A dark manicure with a well-chosen base color is unlikely to leave the owner without attention from others. It catches the eye, but does not cause a negative reaction, as, for example, when using too bright or acidic shades.
• Multivariance. Such a manicure can be performed using different techniques and in a different palette.

The modern nail industry offers girls a variety of types of French manicure.

The most popular of these are the options described below.

• Matte design. The matte color of dark tones has recently been chosen by more and more girls, since it is he who can create a luxurious, elegant or minimalist nail design. In this design, the edge of the nail is covered with a dark gamut color, and a special matte top is applied. As a dark shade, not only black can appear, but also dark blue, emerald or maroon.
• Reverse manicure. The peculiarity of its application is that a hole of nails stands out. In this case, the emphasis can be made both on all nails, and on any one nail. Such a design can be afforded not only by girls, but also by women of a more mature age, since it looks organic and natural.

• With drawing. French manicure in dark colors can make a drawing more colorful. There are no restrictions on the color, size and place of application. The main thing is that it should be harmonious and attractive. Therefore, when choosing a shade for a picture, it is worth starting from the color of the varnish of the nail plate and the edge of the nail. For a symmetrical appearance, you can use a color close to the jacket (emerald, cherry, blue), or use a contrasting shade to highlight the picture. In this case, brighter tones (white, red, green, blue) will do. The pattern can be complex weaves or simple lines, as well as complex handmade drawings.

• With sparkles and rhinestones. It is a mistake to consider that such a manicure is unacceptable in everyday life - you just need to choose the right "dosage" of stones and the color of the jacket. Of course, for an evening out, you can focus on the whole plate and decorate it with rhinestones.
• Manicure with a base of various shades. The classic white color for such a manicure is increasingly replaced by pink, peach and sand shades. They also look natural, but at the same time give the appearance of the nails tenderness and softness.

Despite the versatility of this manicure, nevertheless, when choosing it, you should pay attention to the shape of your nails. A professional can easily cope with this question if manicure is done in the salon. If the choice fell on the independent application of the jacket, then the shape and length of the nails should be carefully selected. It is worth remembering that such parameters depend on the size of the brush and the length of the fingers.

A gentle and light palette in combination with a dark one will look good on a short or medium length nail, while the shape can be either square or almond-shaped. On sharp nails, the original jacket looks original and at the same time appropriate.

You should also pay attention to the condition of the cuticle - it should be evenly cleaned and not have irregularities.
