Color solutions
A classic French manicure is presented as a neutral base and white tips. But other combinations are also possible. We will present the most relevant ones in this block. All of these colors go well with sequins as well.
Despite the fact that the technique of execution of the jacket is completely preserved, the result is completely different due to the various shades.

Black
Dark tips visually lengthen the nail. At the same time, the black jacket looks very interesting. Such a manicure can be performed with a neutral or bright base. If you prefer the latter option, then think carefully about whether your look will fit such a peculiar design. With a beige or pale pink base color, there are no special requirements for the outfit.

Red
If you are prohibited from having a bright red manicure by the existing dress code, or you are simply afraid of such flashiness, then try a red jacket. Such intriguing marigolds will create a certain mood, while not looking defiant.

Pink
A very delicate color that creates a romantic mood.It should be borne in mind that the main color should not merge with the tips. You can also make it white. The pink should be quite intense. However, subtle combinations with dusty rose or powdery pink will look good.

Gold
In this case, the sequins are located in a dense layer at the tip. Quite an elegant and festive option. To create a harmonious look, you can place glitter on the main length of the nail. At the same time, they should have a scattering effect, that is, there will be more of them in the upper part, and almost none will remain closer to the base.

Neon shades
This option is more suitable for young women of fashion. Such bold combinations look bad with a business suit or with older ladies. The base color here can also vary depending on clothing style and mood.
Just keep in mind that the colors themselves are very bright, and if you supplement them with dark or saturated tones, it can be overkill. After all, over this beauty there will also be sparkles.

Classic
She does not need a special introduction, since she has long been loved by many beauties around the world. Glitter will refresh a neutral manicure, giving it a discreet shine. The color of these shining elements can also vary. In the classic versions, gold, silver and pink always look good.

Dark base
This is a kind of antipode to the classic combination. With a dark base, it is better to perform the tips in light shades so that they stand out well against the general background. You can also play with the texture: make the base matte, and leave the ends glossy. This combination will suit most outfits and will not cause complaints.

How to make a jacket with sequins more original
A sequined jacket in itself is a very non-trivial option for a manicure, but it can also be made more complex and interesting. Look at the examples below, and perhaps one of them will very soon decorate your marigolds.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2018/10/francuzskij-manikyur-s-blestkami-idei-stilnogo-dizajna-i-primery-21.jpg)

French vice versa
With this technique, not only the tip is highlighted in a different color, but also the strip at the base of the nail. It is better to perform such a manicure on oval-shaped nails. So both above and below symmetrical crescents are formed. If for a classic jacket you can use neutral combinations, then here it is better to choose contrasting shades.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2018/10/francuzskij-manikyur-s-blestkami-idei-stilnogo-dizajna-i-primery-27.jpg)

Oblique
With a classic jacket, the smile line follows the natural contour of the nail. Here you can set any slope and bending duration. It can be either a smooth half-arc or a straight line separating the white oblique tip. At the same time, the sequins will slightly smooth out such asymmetry.

Combined with the lunar
The lunar region is an area at the base of the nail in the form of an incomplete moon, which has a lighter shade. It is something that they propose to make when creating a moon manicure. But no one forbids you to leave a white tip and decorate everything with glitter.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2018/10/francuzskij-manikyur-s-blestkami-idei-stilnogo-dizajna-i-primery-31.jpg)

Double
There can be several variants of execution here. The easiest one is to highlight the tip with a contrasting color, and emphasize it with another line of an excellent shade. Colors can match the main shades of your clothes or blend in with accessories. Another option is to leave a transparent strip after the white tip, and then only apply the base shade. Well, the third way is to use one color to the middle at the tip, and another color on the other side. The border of the two shades can be drawn along an oblique line or with a gradient.

Ombre
If you are not a fan of clear lines and strict geometry, then the glitter ombre option is what you need. A smooth transition from one shade to another will be highlighted with sparkles. Such a gentle and feminine manicure will certainly tell about you as a sensitive and gentle nature.

Matt
A great option for a casual look. There is only one nuance worth considering. If you first apply sequins and then cover them with a matte finish, their shine will be muted.This is also an interesting option, but if you prefer a bright shine, then you will need to apply them already on the matte finish.

Broken glass
If you place both the glitter and the "broken glass" on one finger, they will interrupt each other. It is better if you design only one finger using this technique, but bright sparkles can be attached to the neighboring ones. In this case, they will resemble small fragments shimmering in the sun.

Sugar
Remember what happens if you dip a wet finger in a sugar bowl? Grains of this sweet sand will remain on the nail. It is this effect that masters who create sugar manicure achieve. In this case, the tip will have not only a different shade, but also a texture. Do not be afraid that small grains will wear off or fall off. These are very small elements that will be securely fixed with a topcoat.

Ethnic motives
Ethnic motives will feel great not only as the main pattern, but also as a decorating element (the tip of the nail). It is not necessary to observe strict symmetry on all fingers.
Different patterns, united by a common theme and color, or their arrangement will give originality to the manicure and emphasize your individual style.

Decor options
In addition to the original execution of the French manicure itself with glitter, you can add decorative elements to it. One has only to follow a sense of proportion, and not try to fit everything at once on one nail.

With rhinestones
All craftsmen know well how glitter and rhinestones are perfectly combined with each other. They do not argue or conflict with each other. On the contrary, these elements complement each other perfectly and create a coherent and interesting pattern.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2018/10/francuzskij-manikyur-s-blestkami-idei-stilnogo-dizajna-i-primery-52.jpg)

With broths
With these small balls, the craftsman can create a real pattern or drawing. It will be supplemented with shiny elements. Better to give preference to a small size. You can also just use glitter polish. This will greatly simplify the work. In this case, the border of the connection of two colors of French manicure can be laid out with broths.

With camouflage
If the gloss of the usual glitter contained in the varnish is not enough for you, then you can enhance the effect with the help of these glowing circles. They will create the illusion of sunbeams on the nail. You can apply another option, when only one finger will be decorated with camouflage, but at the same time there will be no jacket on it.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2018/10/francuzskij-manikyur-s-blestkami-idei-stilnogo-dizajna-i-primery-56.jpg)
With stickers
They can be as different as you like. Their selection in specialized stores is huge. Decide in advance on the theme that you would like to depict on your nail and just glue the drawing onto the finished manicure. In this case, sequins can be used as accents or they can be used to draw individual elements of the picture.

Fruit
Haven't you tried the unique fruity jacket yet? Such a joyful and juicy manicure is more suitable for sunny days, but if you want to plunge into summer on a cold winter evening, then no one will forbid you to paint juicy oranges or kiwi fruit on the tips of your nails.

Flowers
Another option that is very similar to the previous one. Only here, not fruits, but flowers are used for decoration. Their diversity is amazing. And you can find exactly the flower that will highlight your personality. Whether it will be a delicate tulip, a shy forget-me-not or a bright rose - it's up to you.

Lace
A very delicate design option for a French manicure, which is perfectly complemented by sparkles. The lace can completely cover the tip, or it can be just a border of the white strip at the end.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2018/10/francuzskij-manikyur-s-blestkami-idei-stilnogo-dizajna-i-primery-64.jpg)

Monogram
The masters are specially trained to perform these elements in separate courses. But there are also self-taught people among them. Nothing prevents you from practicing at home and doing such an interesting and unusual French manicure with monograms.

With bows
You should not paint or sculpt them on each nail. It will be inappropriate.One playful bow on the ring finger is enough to create an interesting manicure and a bright accent. With the addition of a sufficient amount of sequins, a manicure, with every right, can be considered smart and festive.

Volumetric drawings
Such elements immediately draw attention to themselves. If you're free to work with acrylics, you can sculpt them yourself. Otherwise, you can buy blanks in the store and just stick on the nail.
