Golden French
An elegant take on a familiar design. The nails, the tips of which are treated with gold or silver lacquer, look extraordinarily attractive. If you use a light base, then this option can be used for every day. It will not look too flashy and defiant.
The dark base for the golden jacket makes it festive and elegant. What color to make it depends on the color of your outfit on a particular evening.

Black
There are several options here. Either the tips are painted black, or the entire plate. It will look especially interesting in matte finish. In this case, the free edge can be executed in beige or gold. This will give your manicure a special chic.
For a more relaxed and neutral manicure, use a nude base polish and paint the tips black.
Don't be afraid it will look like you just arrived from a potato (and you have dirt under your nails).

Red
A white tip can give originality to bright red nails. At the same time, it is not forbidden to combine such a bright manicure with a lunar one. This will create an aesthetic and elegant look. Another option is to decorate the ring finger with rhinestones and other decorative elements. At the same time, it is not necessary to perform it using the French manicure technique.

Bright tones
If you can combine white and nude shades in a jacket, then why not do the same with more saturated colors. This is a great idea for a bold summer look. For example, a basic blue color with a blue free edge of the nail can become a variant of a navy jacket. You can choose the right combinations using a special "designer circle" of colors, by which you will surely find a companion for the shade you like.

Everlasting classic
Despite new trends and technologies, classic French manicure still sounds relevant. And it is not at all necessary to be the owner of long nails. On medium and short lengths, it looks very aesthetically pleasing. And the time for incredibly long extended nails has already passed. This type of manicure is acceptable always and everywhere. He is able to withstand the requirements of even the most stringent dress code.

French vice versa
This option should not be confused with a moon manicure. In a reverse jacket, an area along the nail growth line is formed with a contrasting (or just another) shade. It perfectly matches its shape. With this design, the marigolds look longer.
If you are a fan of shellac, then you know how unaesthetic this area looks when nails begin to grow back. This is especially true for a bright manicure. If you arrange the growth line in flesh or pastel colors, then it will not stand out much.
In this case, the nail plate itself can be quite bright.

Multi-colored tips
Nobody forbids you to apply all the colors of the rainbow at once on one hand. To prevent it from looking too bright and childish, paint them only on the tips of your fingers. This will add a touch of playfulness to your manicure. You can ask the master to use the gradient principle as well. When one color will smoothly flow into another, but already on the next finger.

Oblique stripes
The French does not have to be performed precisely along the line of the smile. Make your own rules into this dogma. Let them have a certain inclination to one side or the other. The appearance of the manicure will only benefit from this. When using classic colors, you will not lose that tenderness and femininity that a jacket gives, but will make it original and interesting in its own way.

Empty middle
Such a design will require some skill or aids. This could be your regular adhesive tape for your design. Apply base coat, dry. Now place the tape in a curved shape over the imaginary border (where you would have the white tip start). Paint the entire nail with white (or any other color) and remove the tape. You will end up with an empty line.
In appearance, this design is very similar to the classic jacket, but has its own unique character.

How to make a classic French manicure more original?
In order to get an original French manicure, it is not necessary to lay out all your nails with rhinestones or use super bright colors. Even small changes and deviations from the canons will make the image interesting and unique.
Obliquely
There are two options here. Either initially set a beveled shape to the nails, and then emphasize it with a symmetrical line, or simply draw a smile line not in the shape of a regular crescent, but obliquely. In this case, it is not necessary to make it even, it can also have a rounding. It looks very feminine and romantic.

Colored French
If you are not a fan of radically bright and catchy colors, then you can use a calmer scale. Just let it not be the usual beige or pink.You can experiment with colors like fuchsia, gray, or lilac. This will add personality to the manicure.

Fruit French
If the summer is sunny, or you are going on vacation to hot countries, then why not emphasize the sunny mood with a bright fruit manicure. Better to do it on long or medium nails. The free edge is decorated with images of fruits. It can be juicy slices of orange, lemon, lime, or even watermelon slices.

Ombre
This design will differ from the classic French manicure only in the smoothness of the transition. In this case, it is better to adhere to standard proportions. You can choose the colors at your discretion, but it is better to leave their number unchanged (maximum 2 colors).
Otherwise, it will already be a regular gradient, but not a jacket.

Matt
In this design, any color will sparkle with new colors. To be more precise, it will lose its shine and will look completely different. Before the master covers the nail with a matte finish, ask to demonstrate the result on a template. After all, the resulting shade may differ significantly from its glossy counterpart, and there is no guarantee that you will definitely like it.

Flowers
They can bloom not only in a spring garden or park, but also on your nails. In this case, it does not matter at all what time of year it is outside the window. Although such motifs sound more relevant in spring and summer, no one will reproach you with bad taste if you do it in winter. It is easy to argue that there is always spring in your soul.
Especially if it is cold restrained tones (gray, blue, blue).

Double French
Yes, such a design will give the master a little more trouble than a regular jacket. But the result is worth it. The peculiarity is that not one colored line flaunts at the tip, but two (although there may be three, but this is already a triple jacket). The classic combinations are:
- white, beige, gold;
- red, pink, white;
- white, blue, light blue.
But you can choose your own shades and combinations.

Monogram
By applying these beautiful patterns only to your fingertips, you will create the illusion of a French manicure. Upon closer examination, it will be clear that these are beautiful intricacies that make the fingers even more delicate. This option is suitable both for office style of clothing (if you use neutral colors) and for more formal occasions. For a special occasion, you can also choose bright duets. Try red patterns on pink or gold on black.

Patterns
Their diversity is amazing. You can understand what your master is capable of from photographs, works made by him or from available templates. In order not to explain for a long time in a beauty salon exactly which patterns and in what quantities you need, save a photo with the manicure you like in advance. So, you will avoid misunderstandings, and get exactly the result you dreamed of.
Patterns can be located only on the tip of the finger, without going beyond the smile line, or be drawn over a classic jacket.

Lace
Another interesting way to make an original jacket. The easiest way is to use special stickers or film. It is applied to the tip and secured with a top coat. So, you will not have to worry that it will come off in the process of wearing.

Veil
The nail itself should be painted in natural pastel colors. Special stampings or the ability to draw will help to create the effect of a jacket and a veil at the same time. In the classic version, the tip is painted black, and a simple mesh or lace is drawn on the plate.

With peas
An option that suits girls and teenagers.On ladies of Balzac's age, it will look inappropriate. The flight of your imagination will tell you exactly what color to make both the tip itself and the polka dots on it.

Framework
French manicure in a duet with a reverse jacket forms a neat framing of the nail. This effect can be enhanced by continuing the line on both sides of the marigold. It is better to entrust such a delicate process to the experienced hands of a master. Since at home you run the risk of getting not a stylish manicure, but a miserable parody.

Animal prints
When doing French manicure, the tips do not have to be solid. You can decorate them with interesting leopard or tiger stripes. In this case, it is better to leave the color of the main nail plate neutral, since the design itself is very bright.

With a black cat
This charming person can perfectly decorate your manicure with her presence. Just do not draw this mysterious pussy on each of the nails. As you can imagine, beige and pink tones will be an excellent background for a black cat.
In combination with a jacket, such an ornament will look very interesting.

Kamifubuki
You can create the illusion of sunbeams on your own nails using the kamifubuki (shiny circles) technique. The master skillfully places them on the nail without overlapping the existing jacket.

Volumetric flowers
