Features of antifrench
This word refers to an inverted French manicure. Its arch is located at the very base of the nail plate. Such a coating is mistakenly called lunar, because the reverse jacket also accentuates the cuticle area. However, they are still two different techniques. In a reverse jacket, the bow is thinner, it does not turn into a hole of various shapes and cannot be fancy. This is a strict line, which today tends to decrease the thickness.

In fact, anti-French is based on a combination of two contrasting varnish tones. One is the base, the second is the bow. It is notable for the fact that due to the bow it visually lengthens the nail plate. With this feature, the nails seem more graceful, which is very important for a flattened natural form.

The secret of a beautiful design will be not to oversaturate it with accents and carefully draw the thin bow of the anti-jacket.
Combining techniques
The inverted jacket is notable for the fact that it is not only self-sufficient, but also can be combined with other manicure techniques. This is expressed in the selection for accent nails of some kind of base that is different from it. For example, one or three (less often four) nails can be performed in a classic or moon manicure, decorated with powder or acrylic sand. A reverse jacket looks beautiful using the veil and broken glass techniques. For the harmony of the design, it is not necessary to use more than two methods in it: it is undesirable to add more than one other technique to the anti-French.
What can you decorate with?
The decoration of the inverted French manicure is given special importance today. Experienced craftsmen, keeping their finger on the pulse and following fashion shows, are the first to try these or those new designs. Thanks to their creative impulse, today we decorate the anti-jacket with such elements as:
- art painting;
- small rhinestones and crystals;
- stamping or stickers;
- kamifubuki or broth;
- rub or powder.

With regard to the theme of the inverted French manicure drawing, we can say with confidence: it can be anything, but it is appropriate for a particular image. This is a gilded crown, and lips, and roses in wet technique, and marshmallow prints (ice cream, bunnies, cats, chupa-chups). Also, some people love bows on accent nails. Foxes, dream catchers, owls, cityscapes are in fashion. Some stickers allow small rhinestones or sparkling crystals to be used over them in the cuticle area. Others are better to decorate with tiny kamifubuki, using larger elements for the center, and very tiny ones for the sides. Sometimes you need to complement the picture with printed dots, rather than rhinestones. The gold or silver border of the reverse jacket looks beautiful.

Alternatively, you can decorate your accent nail designs with a fake gradient. To do this, the lower bow is repeated in different shades of related tones, which creates a special effect. As for the most stylish solutions, which are already noticed by zealous fans of fashion, the trend is logomania. Antifrench is decorated with the logo of a particular Fashion House or a popular sports company.

As a rule, such an accent is unique in the design; it should not be repeated. Logos make decorating nails with rhinestones more appropriate. Here you can use a silver or gold outline, decorate elements of letters or the pattern itself with rhinestones. Neutral logos are especially popular today.
Best options
Nowadays, it is difficult to surprise modern women of fashion with this or that nail design. Nevertheless, thanks to the efforts of fashion and the constant increase in the assortment of nail products, there are many ways to give a design not only beauty and expressiveness, but also uniqueness. Based on the main trends, you can add something special to your nail image, which will speak of the uniqueness of nature.
- For example, you can bet on the unusual texture. The use of matte and glossy coatings looks unusual, while painting with gloss on a matte background on accent nails.
- Transparent drops look beautiful on a jacket.This design does not need any other additions. It is enough to paint the accent nails completely, without drawing the bow, and place drops of transparent modeling gel or top on them with a wooden toothpick.

- If you want to decorate your nails with gold, it is not at all necessary to draw arches in the cuticle area of all nails for this. The contour can be "presented" to several marigolds, and 1 out of ten fingers can be decorated with a gold pattern.
- When betting on water stickers, you should choose them to match the two contrasts of manicure and decorate your nails with them throughout the entire area. Ideally, it can be lace or floral motifs, weaving of twigs.

- Decorating accent nails with a reverse jacket with a gradient is extremely popular. You can use no more than two out of ten nails for this. No other tone and pattern is needed in this case.
- A chic anti-french coat on nails of different shapes can be created with accents in the veil technique. A translucent background with a delicate lace pattern applied to it will allow you to add notes of luxury to a woman's image.

- One of the most fashionable solutions today is an imitation of a grown nail on the accent. In this case, a thin bow is also drawn, and rhinestones are glued from the base or stripes are depicted, combining a decorating technique with an imitation of a growing nail.
- It is super fashionable to create the effect of asymmetry by drawing the outline of the bow higher on one side than on the other. You can draw lines symmetrically up to the top edge.

- One of the squeaks of the season was the accentuation of the cuticle area with dots of different sizes, which can be done both with different sizes of balls and with toothpicks.
- It is beautiful and fashionable to decorate the accents of a reverse jacket with acrylic powder, which is often called manicure sugar or powder. Depending on its fraction, the presence or absence of shine, as well as texture, options are selected for different seasons.
