For several seasons in a row, French manicure has been considered one of the best design techniques. In this case, the shape of the nails, which can resemble stilettos, tend to square or almond-shaped, is of particular importance. Since one of the fashionable forms of nail plates today is an oval, it is worthwhile to familiarize yourself in detail with fashion trends regarding the design of the jacket, which will better refine the female image.
Nuances of shape and color
Oval nails are conventionally classified as universal, on which you can perform absolutely any design. At the same time, today they can have different lengths, be natural or extended.
Fashion believes that oval nails of moderate length look better. It is enough to make a beautiful jacket, and even accent the accent nails on top of it.
Oval nails are less prone to chips and delamination. French looks flawless on them, given the smooth line of the oval.
It completely fills the free edge, which allows you to vary the width of the so-called smile. At the same time, the ideal jacket today is based on naturalness and the technique of negative space.
This technique is designed to emphasize the health of the nail plates. In addition to the desire for minimalism and naturalness, it is important that some part of the nail is not painted, but only emphasized by a clear varnish. If the soul asks for color and vivid contrasts, you can perform a color jacket, experimenting with the color scheme.
For example, the oval shape looks great pastel and rich colors of the palette.
Harmonious solutions are combinations of flesh or nude color with:
- blue
- lavender;
- pink;
- mint;
- turquoise;
- coral;
- sand;
- Marsalov;
- black
- purple
- fuchsia;
- emerald;
- in blue.
When adding sharp and bright tones to the design, you need to pay attention to the fact that they can change the perception of the jacket in a particular female image. Therefore, dark contrasts must be used metered, while light and gentle tones of the color palette can be used not only for the traditional broad smile, but also for fantasy design.
Fashion decor
To date, there are many possibilities for decorating the jacket. Moreover, for the oval shape, as a rule, there are no clear restrictions. You can decorate a design on top of a transparent base:
- discreet pattern;
- rhinestones and crystals;
- volumetric stucco gel;
- Japanese kamifubuki;
- pearl dust;
- real tiny feathers;
- ready stamped patterns;
- manicure foil;
- special acrylic powder;
- gold or silver glitter.
While observing moderation and the desire for fashion minimalism, you can achieve a chic effect.
For example, all nails can be done traditionally, and then two or three of them can be decorated:
- monophonic coating in tone with a smile and accentuate the cuticle area with a handle made of several rhinestones;
- lace pattern on a nude background, stamped or with a thin brush;
- knitted pattern in the color of a smile created using a modeling gel;
- accents in the form of holes of a spherical or geometric shape;
- a pattern of butterflies decorated with several single rhinestones;
- contrasting contour, combining, for example, white with black.
Seasonality of manicure
The vagaries of changeable fashion are such that today the best manicure is one that indicates that the design belongs to a certain time of the year. It doesn’t matter in which technique the manicure is made, therefore the oval nails have to be adjusted to the trendy directions of the design. However, this is only to his advantage, because this technique allows you to diversify the technique and decorate it in different ways, changing the mood of one, it would seem, option.
Seasonality can be manifested not only in the choice of drawings or stickers for accent nails - it can be expressed through color contrasts.
For example, for the summer it can be warm sunny and bright saturated tones (yellow, pink green, mint). For winter, the temperature of the shades is already changing: they become cool (blue, blue, gray-violet). Autumn season is associated with a rich harvest, therefore, designs in gold and reddish colors are held in high esteem. For spring, paints of early greens are relevant.
Best design
French drawing is noteworthy in that it allows you to reveal the beauty of each season and even month. For example, floral and plant themes are good for summer. These are delicate daisies, dandelions, lilies, roses, irises, buds on apple tree branches.
Insects that can be accented with a summer service jacket and placed against a plain contrasting background look beautiful on oval nails.
With the advent of autumn, pastel tones of a smile change with warm and bright colors. The smile can be designed as autumn leaves with a fox accent. It is also a great opportunity to use broken glass techniques to accentuate manicure, thus depicting frozen puddles. This is the possibility of using volumetric decor as ripe berries.
You can use a drip decor, demonstrating autumn rain on the jacket.
For the winter jacket on an oval shape of nails, you can choose drawings of snowflakes, a variety of prints for knitted textures. In addition, you can powder a smile with white powder, imitating snow. An excellent option for accent nail decoration can be flock powder, which gives an unusual type of texture to the finished coating.
In addition to it, you can decorate the jacket with a stylish Christmas-themed decor, ranging from gift socks to lollipops in red and white stripes.
An imitation of a gradient made using kamifubuki or dot painting with dots with different nozzles will also look beautiful on a French jacket.
So you can beat the geometric design, make it fresh and original. At the same time, due to the different shape of the auxiliary strips, the very shape of the smile can be varied. For example, in addition to round, it can be straight, wavy, diagonally straight and even lightning-like.
Good ideas
Despite the mass of varieties of varnish materials, saturated opaque and glossy pigments are most suitable for French. In addition, each varnish can be pigmented, which affects the number of layers applied to the base.
Matte options are notable for the fact that today they can imitate different fabrics. This allows you to add a premium to the manicure, and a high status in the image.
For example, you can perform a jacket with imitation of felt, adorning accent nail with such texture. For other seasons, you can choose varnish models for satin, suede or velvet.
The powders with the finest fraction can be used to smile or create an extraordinary picture. For example, you can draw small roses on a transparent or nude basis of a jacket and sprinkle them with acrylic powder.
After drying, they will gain strength and firmly stick to the accent nail.
The jacket on oval nails with lace patterns looks beautiful. This design is worthy of decorating the image of the bride. At the same time, for greater chic, you can supplement the texture of some nails with pearl dust (partially or over the entire area of the nail plate).
In order not to oversaturate the design with an abundance of pearl effect, you can reduce the time of rubbing the powder.
An excellent option for a French jacket can be a veil technique. Decorating the translucent background characteristic of the technique of a kapron stocking will allow you to create an almost airy design that many will envy.
Even the usual vertical strip with a matte gradient in the center of the nail plate accent will look very different if an airy veil is painted on the sides of the nail.
In this case, the remaining nails can be performed in a similar technique with a traditional smile, but without decor at all.
Fantasy-type French manicures can be performed in a fruit theme. This option is today considered one of the trendy nail designs. However, in order for a manicure to look beautiful, and not motley, it is better to make a smile in the form of fruits on two to four nails (no more). The rest can simply be painted with any color selected for the fruit. Choosing a juicy fruit theme, it is worth excluding rhinestones from the design: drawings of this type do not need them.
