Ideas for designing a dark jacket on nails

French manicure is a favorite in the nail industry and hasn't gone out of style for quite some time. However, modern trends in this area are forcing us to move away from the classics to more daring images of this manicure. Therefore, the French manicure was replaced by the fashion for a dark jacket on the nails.

French manicure in the classical sense can rightfully be called the standard of grace, tenderness and aristocracy, but a jacket in dark colors is in no way inferior to him in attractiveness. In addition, it has a number of advantages.

• Simplicity and speed of application. Such a manicure can be easily repeated at home, without having any special skills. With the help of special stencils, it will take little time to create a jacket, while the result will be of high quality.
• Versatility. It will look equally good on both long and short nails, and you do not need to choose a special outfit for it, because it is suitable for both strict classics and sparkling club bow.

• Practicality and long period of use. With the use of gel polish, the manicure will last longer and will practically not be afraid of external negative factors.
• Spectacular and attractive look of nails. A dark manicure with a well-chosen base color is unlikely to leave the owner unattended by others. It is conspicuous, but does not cause a negative reaction, as, for example, when using too bright or acidic shades.
• Multivariance. This manicure can be performed using different techniques and in a different palette.

The modern nail industry offers girls a variety of types of French manicure.

The most popular of these are the options described below.

• Matte design. Recently, more and more girls have chosen the matte color of dark tones, since it is he who can create a luxurious, elegant or minimalist nail design. In this version, the edge of the nail is covered with a dark color and a special matte top is applied. Not only black can act as a dark shade, but also dark blue, emerald or maroon.
• Reverse manicure. The peculiarity of its application is that the hole of the nails stands out. In this case, the emphasis can be made both on all nails, and on any one nail. Such a design can be afforded not only by girls, but also by women of a more mature age, as it looks organic and natural.

• With drawing. French manicure in dark colors can make a drawing more colorful. There are no restrictions on color, size and place of application. The main thing is that it should be harmonious and attractive. Therefore, when choosing a shade for a drawing, one should proceed from the color of the varnish of the nail plate and the edge of the nail. For a symmetrical appearance, you can use a color close to a jacket (emerald, cherry, blue), or use a contrasting shade to highlight the picture. In this case, brighter colors are suitable (white, red, green, blue). Complex weaves or simple lines, as well as complex handmade patterns can act as a pattern.

• With sequins and rhinestones. It is a mistake to think that such a manicure is unacceptable in everyday life - you just have to choose the right "dosage" of stones and the color of the jacket. Of course, for an evening out, you can focus on the entire plate and decorate it with rhinestones.
• Manicure with a base of different shades. The classic white color for such a manicure is increasingly being replaced by pink, peach and sandy shades. They also look natural, but at the same time add tenderness and softness to the appearance of nails.

Despite the versatility of this manicure, when choosing it, you should pay attention to the shape of your nails. This question can be easily dealt with by a professional if the manicure is done in the salon. If the choice fell on the independent application of the jacket, then the shape and length of the nails should be carefully selected. It is worth remembering that these parameters depend on the size of the hand and the length of the fingers.

A delicate and light palette in combination with a dark one will look good on a short or medium length of the nail, while the shape can be either square or almond-shaped. On sharp nails, the reverse jacket looks original and at the same time appropriate.

You should also pay attention to the condition of the cuticle - it should be cleanly removed and not have irregularities.

The dark jacket is a modern treatment of the classic French manicure that looks original on the nails.
