French is often combined with other beautiful manicure techniques. There can be a lot of types of execution.
Lunar
Lunar manicure is one of the original varieties of French. In another way, it is called a jacket on the contrary. If, in the classical version, the free edge of the nail plate is covered with white or colored varnish, then the part bordering the cuticle is covered here.

It is possible to lay out some kind of figure from them, just overlap part of the nail plate or the entire plate on one of the accent marigolds.
If we are talking about short nails, then here you should be more careful with rhinestones, as well as with multi-colored stones. Do not overload the small nail plate with them.
It is also not recommended to completely cover all the nails with them - such a design will look clumsy on long nails.

This is another insanely popular design option for ladies' nails. Many young ladies choose this particular design, because it has a very original and eye-catching look. In another way, the gradient is also called amber.

There is only one important rule that is best followed - do not overdo it with decorations.
With geometric patterns
Drawings depicting various geometric shapes are a real novelty in nail art, which has become an insanely popular trend that is loved by many fashionistas. To depict these patterns on the nail plates, it is necessary to draw stripes, which gradually transform into full-fledged figures of different colors and sizes. It can be squares, triangles, and rhombuses. The thickness of the stripes, as well as their location, do not obey the rules. Here you decide how best to proceed.

The combinations are very diverse.
On short nails, both monochrome and contrasting, colorful or delicate pastel combinations will look interesting.
Design options with drawings
Many young ladies prefer a more interesting design using different patterns instead of monochromatic nail coatings or color combinations.

On small nail plates, you can bring to life the most daring design ideas using a variety of patterns. Moreover, most of them are quite simple and affordable in execution. The simplest and most easily executed patterns are multi-colored stripes on the surface across the nail.
It is not at all necessary to try to make them perfectly flat. The stripes can vary in color and shade, resulting in an interesting and discreet design.
There are dots drawings on the nail plates. Dots or dotters are very useful things in everyday life. It is a metal stick with a tip equipped with a small ball. It makes it possible to draw minimalistic or very bright and original patterns collected from cute round dots on the nails. The simplest dots pattern is a few dots placed next to each other closer to the cuticle. You don't need a lot of free time to implement the specified nail design, but it can emphasize your desire to follow the latest fashion trends. If you cannot accurately draw dots on the nails, then you can apply them to the base in a chaotic manner. In this case, the colors of the "polka dots" can be different.
Using this technique, you can create a design similar to a jacket. So, to separate the free edge of the marigold or cuticle will turn out using neatly spaced points. They can be black or colored. There are a lot of options for such a design. Dots can be displayed on different backgrounds.
Drawings in the form of flowers look very beautiful and gentle on the nails. Such decorations can emphasize the charm of short, well-groomed marigolds. Instead of flowers, many ladies prefer designs in the form of juicy multi-colored fruits. Drawings of stars or hearts look no less original and stylish. Many of these decorations can be painted on your own using stencils or a thin brush. If you do not want to waste time on such a design, then you can contact an experienced master.
Drawings that imitate lace look very beautiful on ladies' nails. It can be white or black. Contrasting images are more expressive and can look great in any background color.
It is not necessary to complement all short marigolds with lace compositions. You can arrange one accent marigold in this way.
Complex patterned lines of different colors look beautiful on short nails. Often they are supplemented with stucco molding. The result is truly luxurious and elegant design solutions that emphasize the impeccable taste of their owner. However, moderation must be observed.
