Ideas for designing a color jacket on short nails

In the world of beauty and style, there is a fairly common myth that a spectacular manicure can be done only on well-groomed long nails. For those who have rather short nails, it remains only to cover them with a transparent varnish and wait until they grow to the desired length. However, this belief is completely false. Firstly, sometimes it is much easier to live and work with short nails, and secondly, they can also be well-groomed and beautifully painted.

One of the simplest, but at the same time stylish and unusual ways to make short nails is a French manicure.

French manicure is one of the most common and has long become a classic way to design nails. Traditionally, French manicure looks like this: the base of the nail plate is varnished in the base color (transparent, beige or light pink), and the tip is painted with white crescent-shaped varnish.

However, this option may not be suitable for everyone. To many, classic French manicures will seem too boring and orthodox. That is why the nail service masters offer to diversify the design and make it more vivid and interesting. Multi-colored manicure, made in the manner of the French, will be an excellent option for the design of short nails. Simple, fast and stylish.

Despite the fact that the colored jacket on short nails is a rather new and bold phenomenon, it has already managed to win the hearts of many fashionistas. To make your manicure truly beautiful and elegant, you need to follow a few simple rules.

• Short nails are not at all a drawback.However, if you still want them to appear longer, then when applying varnish you should use a simple rule: use only those shades that belong to a light color palette.
• Due to the fact that the overgrown part of the nail is not too long, the traditional strip of French manicure, which is applied to the tip of the nail, should be drawn quite widely.
• Additional decorative elements (sequins, rhinestones, artificial crystals) should not be abused. Do not use active prints and vivid drawings.
• The coating should be approached, taking into account all the individual characteristics of the nail plate. Using French manicure, you should not try to correct the shape of the nail and depict a straight strip instead of a semicircular or vice versa.

To make a beautiful and accurate manicure, use a few simple tips.

• Before painting the nails, complete all the necessary care procedures to prepare the nail for fresh manicure as much as possible.
• One of the main factors that must be considered when designing nails is the accuracy of application. French manicure does not like fuzzy lines and blurry strokes.

It is obvious that the color French manicure differs from the traditional one in that when applying it, it is allowed to use several colors. Moreover, these colors can be not only pastel, but also more contrasting and bright. When applying coatings on nails, it is first necessary to resolve the issue of what will become the biggest color accent. There are several options.

• Only the main part of the nail plate can be painted with bright varnish, and the tip can be coated with white varnish, as it should be in the traditional version.

• The base of the manicure is one of the classic varnishes (beige, transparent or light pink), and the tip of the nail is covered with a bright shade (you can use even a few).

• The classic palette of French manicure is completely replaced by color and colorful.

• In order to make the manicure even more spectacular, apply the traditional French manicure strip on the tip of the nail not with one varnish, but with several shades. With this option, the main part of the nail plate should be painted in a neutral color to give the manicure more elegance and grace.

• If you want to give shine to your manicure, use rhinestones. For example, instead of varnishing the tip of the nail, glue colorful crystals onto it. It will turn out very beautiful and original.

• Another popular option is a combination of a variety of textures. Coat the tip of the nail with glossy varnish and the plate with a matte finish. An interesting color combination for this option is blue with pink. Fresh and youth.

• Try to keep your manicure in line with the season. For example, in winter you can use white and blue varnishes, in spring - yellow and green, in autumn - red and orange, and in summer - light pink, light green, blue and other shades of a light color palette.
