French manicure design with gel polish

French manicure is adored by girls all over the world. He is very graceful and feminine. Today there is a wide variety of options for this design, so everyone can find something of their own. Let's figure out what a jacket can be and how to make it more original.

We are used to seeing classic French manicure, but every year designers and nail designers offer us unexpected options.

Here we will consider the main design options for the manicure itself, which are relevant at the moment.

• Classical. A universal option that is suitable both for going out and for everyday life. It is so beautiful and graceful that it does not require any additions. At the same time, the nails look as natural and neat as possible. If you do such a manicure with shellac, then another significant plus appears. When your nail begins to grow back, it will not be so noticeable.
• Lunar. This type got its name because of the special highlighting of the part of the nail, called the hole. It is located at the base of the marigold and has the shape of a crescent. If you look closely, it is this color that the natural nail has, that is, this area is different in color from the rest of the plate. In this case, the tip also stands out in a light color. This harmony creates a delicate sophisticated image.

• Hollywood. Already from the name it is clear that such a design must be luxurious and eye-catching. This is true. To create this type of jacket, they do not take the usual light tones for decorating the tip, but very saturated and contrasting ones.And the base itself can be of absolutely any color. Such originality and brightness is suitable for bold and decisive natures.
• Millennium. Its main difference is the presence of sparkles on the tip of the nail. And today, specialty stores offer a lot of options. It can be glitter varnish, special glitter or shimmer, powder, and shiny adhesive tape. Which of these products to choose is up to you. It all depends on what you want to get as a result. With the help of powder, you can stretch the color, and foil or tape will provide a rich shine and clear lines.

• Art. This is an option for those who are bored with the classic French manicure design. There are no restrictions or rules here. It's just that the jacket itself is used as a base. But what to depict on it further, everyone decides for himself. It can be exquisite lace, or a scattering of rhinestones and sequins. You can draw complex patterns and patterns, or you can use sliders and stickers, focusing on one or two nails.
• Spa. This option is close to the classic one. It is distinguished only by the absence of clear boundaries. To create a gentle transition from a beige base to a white tip, you will need to use a special device - an airbrush. It sprays polish to create a beautiful gradient, and the name ombre can also be found. These two types differ from each other in the degree of sharpness of the transition from color to color (the borders of the gradient are more pronounced).

When choosing one or another shade for a French manicure, you must also take into account the tonality of the clothes with which you will wear it. The universal option here is the unchanging classic combinations. They suit almost any style and color of clothing. Bright tones also look harmonious if they are repeated in clothes or accessories.

• Nude shades. Delicate and discreet, they create a laconic image. They do not attract attention to themselves, while the manicure will look very aesthetically pleasing. This range includes beige, pale pink, powdery and beige-gray shades. Do not think that such a manicure is boring. The classics will always remain in trend and look relevant in any situation.
• White and black. A contrasting combination that has not gone out of fashion for many decades. It is not for nothing that the Japanese yin and yang symbols are made in these colors. They are two opposites that go well together. Repeating this duet in manicure, you can be sure that it will perfectly match both the classic style of clothing and more unusual bows.

• Red. There are many shades of this rich color. Therefore, each beauty can choose the option that will be relevant and acceptable for her. Many are afraid of such brightness in a manicure. In this case, try calm and muted tones. The manicure will not lose its brightness, but it will not be very conspicuous.
• Light shades. There are a great many of them. All primary colors have both dark and light tones. Brighter colors such as light greens or pinks are more suitable for summer and spring. For the winter months, blue and gray tones are perfect. Nude shades will be universal, as mentioned earlier.

• Dark tones. Such a manicure is quite extravagant and unusual. But if you choose classic black or blue tones, they will go well with a classic-style wardrobe. Since these are the colors found in most business suits. If you are afraid of such saturation on your nails, then you can use dark shades for the tip. This design will not look too bright, but it will not lose its extravagance.
• Bright and neon colors. This option is suitable for younger and younger ladies. Neon colors are full of cheerfulness and optimism. Multi-colored tips look very bright.This is a great option for the summer. They can be safely complemented with floral designs or kamifubuki. The latter will add even more sunshine.

You can also transform your marigolds with the help of drawings. The design options completely depend on your imagination and preferences. It is worth observing a sense of proportion, since if all the nails are covered with drawings, then you can end up with a complete bad taste. A gentle accent on one or two fingers will only decorate your hands.

• Fruits. You can create a sunny mood on your nails with citrus fruits. Just decorate the tip of the marigold with lemon or oranges. And also slices of kiwi or strawberries will look interesting. Of course, this design is more suitable for vacation or summer.
• Animal world. The familiar leopard and tiger prints are no longer so popular. But do not think that animal drawings are limited only to these options. Consider decorating your manicure with bird of paradise or exotic butterflies.

• Flowers. They will always be relevant. Here you can consider both options for rather bright and rich roses and chrysanthemums, and more delicate tulips and forget-me-nots. Twigs with buds look very elegant. You can apply the flower both on the jacket and as a tip design.
• Space. This design requires quite a lot of space. Therefore, it is rather difficult to display all the beauty of space on a small tip. A long free edge can save the situation. Or give one whole nail for the design. This option will look interesting and exotic.
• Thematic. It can be absolutely any design that suits a specific topic. Relevant only for a short period: birthday, New Year, Halloween.

Even the most relaxed manicure can be varied with decor. In specialized stores, there is a large selection of different items. They can be combined with each other, or applied separately. The main thing is not to overdo it. An experienced craftsman will easily tell you the best options and combinations.

• Rhinestones. These brightly colored pebbles will reflect both artificial and sunny colors. Even in a small amount, rhinestones significantly transform any manicure. Many are afraid that they will fall away or interfere. But modern technologies make it possible to securely fix them on the nail. In order for them not to stand out and not scratch, they are covered with a topcoat.
• Sequins. With their help, you can make a bright accent or decorate an existing drawing. An interesting option would be a kind of ombre effect. To do this, the edge is covered with a fairly dense layer, and closer to the base, the amount of sparkles is minimized.
• Kamifubuki. You can create the illusion of sunbeams on your own nails using special shiny circles called kamifubuki. They come in different colors, so the shade can be matched to any shade of varnish. At the same time, the design will not turn out to be overloaded or pretentious.

• Sliders. These are special stickers. They can be transparent or colored. Even a beginner can cope with them. If you are doing gel polish manicure, then the sticker is attached to the sticky layer, and then fixed with a topcoat. When working with a simple varnish, it should be applied to the nail while the varnish is still not completely dry.
• Lace. There are several design options here.
  1. The lace itself can be of absolutely any color.
  2. Lace can completely embellish the entire tip of the nail, or just frame the border of two colors.
  3. Lace can be drawn both along the smile line and obliquely.
  4. This design can be done either with a brush or a stamp, or with a simple sticker.

The result in a manicure depends not only on the length of the nails and the chosen design. The form is of great importance.

• Oval. The perfect shape that suits absolutely everyone.Even if by nature your nails are not perfect, with the help of such resistant materials as gel or acrylic, the master will be able to strengthen and correct them, and as a result you will get beautiful and delicate nails.
• Square and soft square. They differ from each other only in rounded corners. Great for a jacket. In sharp corners, it is better if the length is medium or longer.
• Pointed. The pointed shape requires a rather long length, since it simply will not look aesthetically pleasing on short nails. French looks on such nails very extravagant and feminine at the same time.

French manicure with lace looks very feminine. At the same time, even a beginner can cope with such a design if you use sliders.

The oval shape of the nails is perfect for classic French manicure. It is difficult to imagine a more sophisticated and sophisticated look for a lady of any age.

French in the style of the millennium is striking in its brightness and originality. Moreover, you can wear it in everyday life. One has only to put on a gold ring on a finger.
