The technique of creating a classic manicure involves the use of a flesh, colorless or pale pink base, and the free edge is painted white. This style looks impressive and is considered an ideal complement to evening casual outfits. Moreover, this manicure is perfect for both short and long nails.

In this and the next season, a jacket is relevant, in which the edge of the plate is painted in snow-white, milky and creamy shade, and the background coating is made in beige, pink or pastel colors. You cannot paint the nail bed with bright and colored varnishes, since the manicure will lose its natural beauty.In order for the marigolds to always have a shiny effect, they must be periodically covered with a transparent coating.

The border between the base and the smile line can be made fuzzy, this gives the nails lightness and grace. In the new season, it will be fashionable to use one-color varnish of different textures. For example, a composition looks gorgeous in which the background is decorated with a matte finish, and the edge is glossy.

To give the image at the same time tenderness and severity, stylists recommend replacing the white edges with black ones. The result is a bright and eccentric manicure. Since a black jacket in a special way attracts the attention of others and has an unusual style, ideal forms of the nail plates are required to create it.

Long nails are best suited for design; on short nails, the design effect is lost. It is advisable to make a smile not round, but to give it the shape of a rhombus, while there are no restrictions in the form of marigolds, they can be pointed, square or rounded. A black jacket looks attractive against a light background, or you can make a glossy black hole on a matte black base. The border in the form of a golden line will help to add chic to such a manicure.

A yellow jacket is well suited as a summer design for marigolds. To make it sunny and bright or calm, it is best to choose the color of dandelion for the background. For women who love contrast, it is fashionable to make the base of the marigold red, and decorate the edge with drawings or patterns. The main thing is that this manicure does not have more than four shades, since yellow is already saturated. An unusual solution is considered a composition in which the tips of the plates are covered with blue and yellow, each shade should alternate after one.

A blue jacket is considered no less beautiful. Unlike yellow, it is recommended to create it in the cold season, as it is associated with winter and snowy shine. This performance is ideal for the New Year holidays. To add shimmer to snowflakes, marigolds must be decorated with rhinestones and colored sparkles. For romantic personalities, a pink jacket is an excellent choice, which looks great against the background of tanned hands. Such nail art can be chosen by both very young girls and mature ladies. In this case, the pink shade, depending on the style of the outfit, can be replaced with a peach or brighter one.

The contrast of the base can be "adjusted" by using different shades. Such a French manicure, decorated with rhinestones and drawings, looks interesting. Moreover, if volumetric patterns are selected for the composition, then the length of the nails must be taken into account.As for the shape, it is advisable to round off the plates for a red jacket, since on sharp ones it will acquire an "aggressive" look.

The colored jacket is presented with a chic variety and opens up huge opportunities for creativity. If the girl still likes the classic version of the manicure, then it can be left in the usual version, changing only the tip. For example, colored thin lines or a beveled smile look great on the holes.

Depending on the image of the girl, you can create various options for French manicure using bright decorations and imagination. A jacket that will complement an evening outfit should be bright and voluminous. For this, women of fashion use different techniques and materials.

• Dust. It is presented in a wide range of colors and can be easily applied to the nails.

• Acrylic or plastic flowers. They look stunning in a classic manicure, but their application technique is rather complicated, and such attachments are voluminous, so they usually last only one evening.

The above decor is usually used for a jacket for long nails. Owners of short plates are advised to create designs in solid colors and decorate them with small drawings. Dark shades are in vogue now, but in order for them to be in harmony with the overall design, they must be selected carefully. For example, a jacket with black and red colors is considered the best option for short marigolds. It will work well with any style of clothing and makeup.

For the New Year holidays, a French manicure with the image of Santa Claus, snowflakes and a Christmas tree with gifts will be a good solution. In this case, the composition must be placed only on one or two fingers. With the onset of spring, a jacket can be supplemented with drawings of flowers such as mimosa, tulips and daisies, they look beautiful in nail art and images of buds that open. In summer, French manicure is best diluted with more juicy and vibrant colors, choosing a marine theme.

In this case, the nail should be painted in contrasting and dark colors, and the "crescent" should be made light. A black background and a white or silvery smile look interesting. Such nail art is also called moon manicure; it is usually chosen by bold and extraordinary ladies.

• Ombre. It is characterized by the use of two contrasting shades, which are separated by a thin line. In this case, it is not necessary to make clear transitions between colors. A similar design is created using the gradient technique. An interesting option is considered to be the separation of bright shades in two stripes, they need to be drawn at an acute angle. For an evening look, it is recommended to use a combined jacket: a classic "smile" should be drawn on one or two fingers, and the edges of the remaining nails should be highlighted with curved colored lines located chaotically.

• Double "smile". The free edge of the marigold looks gorgeous if it is decorated with two colors at the same time. For example, one corner is painted white and the other black. In this case, the smile of the jacket takes on a stylish look due to the semicircular, slightly extended line. In winter, this design can be interpreted a little: paint “snow drifts” on the edges.
