Beautiful manicure is the dream of every modern fashionista. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to grow a large length of nails, and not every woman agrees to build them with acrylic. Consider how this affects the design of a French manicure that many people have loved, taking round nails as a basis.
The nuances of form
Round called nails with a rounded edge and short length. Outwardly, their shape tends to an oval, and got its name due to its natural length. Someone will call such nails short, but this does not mean a limitation of length. It cannot be grown for various reasons, including because of brittleness, the small thickness of the plates themselves from nature, as well as thinness from constant manicure.
It is difficult to create any design on short nails, and even more so to try to roam with complicated decorating techniques. Given the visual ability of the French to shorten the length due to a smile, you have to beat this nuance through the color of the material used, as well as other tricks that visually stretch the length. However, when its natural shape is lengthened with a short length, such nails leave the master with many design opportunities. And the smile here may already be the most diverse.
For the rounded edge of the nail plates, you can use different forms of French manicure smiles. Depending on the initial length, it can be traditional arched or straight. Sometimes, for visual lengthening, the elongated sides are painted on with a thin brush. However, the width of the smile will largely depend on the length of the round nails. The larger and larger the area for the background, the wider the smile can be.
On short and almost round nails, if you want to make a jacket, it can be a contour stroke of the upper edge. If the line is thick, it visually gives the nail an ugly shape.
In addition, for excessively short nails, it is preferable to reduce the number of nails with a smile. To do this, you can combine a jacket with a classic. This will distract attention from insufficient length.
Color schemes
The colors for the French manicure on round nails need to be selected based on the available length. Given fashion trends, it can be pastel shades, and especially blue and pink. If they look beautiful on medium-sized nails, spherical nails will not only not decorate, but will also visually expand. The principle of eliminating the deficiency will be built on the golden rule: for a short length, darker tones are needed.
If you need to stretch the length, you can resort to flesh-colored shades, and draw a smile with dark or bright contrast. When the length is sufficient, you can safely experiment with it, choosing for the jacket not only flesh or powdery tones, but also pastel, neutral and juicy. By the way, the determining factor in this is considered today the desire of fashion for seasonality. This means that the jacket, like other manicure techniques, should indicate belonging to a particular time of the year.
For summer, these are all kinds of bright colors, for example, pink, fuchsia, turquoise, mint, and for winter, cold colors (blue, blue, gray). For autumn, you can choose gold, orange, brown, Marsala shades of the color palette, for spring - the colors of the first green.
You can choose a design for the shades, taking into account the temperature of a certain color, because almost all pigments can be both warm and cold.
Design Nuances
Today, a classic jacket can complement, except that a strict female bow. We are so accustomed to the zest in nail art that options without a design already seem empty and boring. And therefore, every time, performing a particular design of nails, the implementation of accents is considered the norm. Nevertheless, not every service jacket can be called expressive: the reason lies in the fact that in an attempt to decorate a design, it often oversaturated with accents.
To french on round nails looked beautiful and expressive, just two or three accents are enough. All that is superfluous will bring diversity to the manicure. No matter how I would like to add something else for elegance, this is not worth doing. Nails should not merge into a single colorful spot, the task of the accent is to attract attention, while the remaining nails with a smile will soften the chosen design, balancing the manicure for a harmonious pouring into one or another female bow.
Fashion trends
Speaking about the design of the modern jacket, we are talking about its method of combining and decorating the nails chosen for accents. Indeed, one technique of French manicure today is used less often than its complement with classics, gradient, powder, broken glass, veil, technique with holes. Given the desire of fashionable trends for naturalness, this season's jacket is often performed in the negative space technique, which creates the effect of an unpainted nail.
Round nails can be visually lengthened, creating the illusion of overgrown nail plates. For this, the French can be combined with a moon manicure and for a greater visual extension, draw a thin line on the sides. Such eyeliners today are considered one of the fashionable techniques, and sometimes such a design rings the nail plate completely. For the news of this season, applicable for round nails, there are several different design options, for example, now in trend:
- deliberate designation of the cuticle zone, its allocation with foil, gel polish, dot technique, rhinestones or crystals;
- the use of geometric themes in the design of accent nails, including not only figures, but also straight lines with dots located on them, hollow figures superimposed on each other;
- decoration of accents with a pattern-cell over the entire area of the nail plate;
- designation of a hole or a smile with dots, foil, fantasy pattern;
- the design focus on emphasizing belonging to a certain stylistic direction in a woman’s clothes;
- decoration of accent nails with a pearl and holography effect;
- creating a veil-based jacket on two or three fingers of a manicure;
- the use of decals and foil, as well as stamping to quickly decorate the accent or create, for example, a lace smile.
There can be many design options, each of them will depend on the available varnish and a suitable decor for it.
Seasonality
Perhaps there is no better way than to decorate a manicure with a pattern today. And really: the master’s imagination can be limited only by the length and shape of the nails. Otherwise, depending on professionalism, you can perform painting at the request of the client. For example, it may be a wet technique. Today it is considered one of the most popular, allowing you to create a visual effect of a picture drowning in the basis. The technique is somewhat reminiscent of watercolor, since with such a drawing, the shades of the material used should be slightly different in color.
For summer, you can draw flowers, plants, butterfly wings, dragonflies, ladybugs. For autumn, you can “dress” round nails with leaves, depict them on a classic background or instead of a smile on one or two nails. The chic completion of this design will be drops of a modeling gel or top, dried in a special lamp. Such a jacket on rounded nails will look super beautiful and effective. In winter, you can create the effect of snow powder, using white or silver acrylic sand to simulate snow. For New Year's holidays, you can even use a powder with a texture of felt.
In spring, semicircular nails can be decorated with a pattern of icicles, depicting them instead of a smile on accented rounded nail plates. And again, transparent drops are also suitable here, which can be positioned even with an ordinary toothpick, if there is no dots with a tiny ball at hand. You can not only draw the first thawed spots on the nails, but also stick the finished stickers. For example, spring morning in Paris will look super beautiful on nails, as well as the theme of urban spring and, of course, snowdrops.
Those who want to be in the spotlight will love the logo design. Today it is trendy, in addition, such a french design is suitable for any season. Nails with prints from fashion houses such as Prada and Gucci without any decor can add high status to any women's outfit, even if its cut is simple and the color will not be bright. Of course, such stickers are more expensive than ordinary pictures, but they will last a long time, because in design they use no more than two. In this case, one should dominate, and on the second hand it is worth picking up a second picture, but not cloning the first.
