Designing French manicure on round nails

A beautiful manicure is the dream of every modern fashionista. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to grow long nails, and not every woman agrees to build them up with acrylic. Consider how this is reflected in the design of the French manicure, which is loved by many, taking round marigolds as a basis.

Round nails are called nails with a rounded edge and short length. Outwardly, their shape tends to an oval, and got its name due to the natural length. Someone will call such nails short, but this does not mean limiting the length. It cannot be grown for various reasons, including because of fragility, the small thickness of the plates themselves from nature, as well as thinning from constant manicure.

It is difficult to create any design on short nails, and even more so to try to walk around with complex decorating techniques. Given the visual capabilities of the jacket to shorten the length by smiling, you have to play with this nuance through the color of the material used, as well as other tricks that visually stretch the length. However, when its natural shape is lengthened with a short length, such nails leave the master a lot of design opportunities. And the smile here can already be very diverse.

For the rounded edge of the nail plates, you can use different forms of a French manicure smile. Depending on the original length, it can be traditional arched or straight. Sometimes, for visual lengthening, elongated sides are painted on with a thin brush. However, the width of the smile will depend a lot on the length of the round nails. The more it is and the more area remains for the background, the wider the smile can be.

On short and almost round nails, if you want to make a jacket, then it can be a contour stroke of the upper edge. If the line is thick, it will visually give the nail an ugly shape.

Colors for French manicure on round nails need to be selected based on the available length. Considering fashion trends, it can be pastel shades, especially blue and pink. If on nails of medium length they look beautiful, the nails of a spherical shape will not only not beautify, but also visually expand. The principle of eliminating the deficiency will be built on the golden rule: for short lengths, darker tones are needed.

If you need to stretch the length, you can resort to shades of flesh, and paint a smile with a dark or bright contrast. When the length is sufficient, you can safely experiment with it, choosing for a jacket not only flesh or powdery tones, but also pastel, neutral and juicy. By the way, the trend towards seasonality is considered the determining factor. This means that a jacket, like other manicure techniques, should indicate that it belongs to a particular season.

For summer, these are all kinds of bright colors, for example, pink, fuchsia, turquoise, mint, and for winter - cold colors (blue, light blue, gray). For autumn, you can pick up gold, orange, brown, Marsal shades of the color palette, for spring - the colors of the first greenery.

Today, a classic jacket can only complement a strict women's bow. We are so accustomed to the twists in nail art that options without a design already seem empty and boring. That is why every time, performing this or that nail design, the execution of accents is considered the norm. And yet, not every jacket can be called expressive: the reason lies in the fact that in an attempt to decorate a design, it is often oversaturated with accents.

To make a jacket on round nails look beautiful and expressive, just two or three accents are enough. All that is superfluous will add variegation to the manicure. As much as you would like to add something else for elegance, you should not do this. Nails should not merge into a single colorful spot, the task of the accent is to attract attention, while the rest of the nails with a smile will soften the chosen design, balancing the manicure for a harmonious infusion into one or another female bow.

Speaking about the design of a modern jacket, we are talking about its method of combining and decorating the nails chosen for accents. Indeed, one technique of French manicure is used less often today than its addition with the classics, gradient, powder, broken glass, veil, technique with holes. Taking into account the desire of fashion trends for naturalness, this season's jacket is often performed in the negative space technique, in which the effect of an unpainted nail is created.

Round nails can be visually lengthened, creating the illusion of overgrown nail plates. To do this, a jacket can be combined with a moon manicure and, for greater visual lengthening, draw a thin line on the sides. Such eyeliners today are considered one of the fashionable tricks, while sometimes such a design rings the nail plate completely. New for this season, applicable for rounded nails, several different design options can be attributed, for example, now in trend:

• deliberate designation of the cuticle zone, its selection with foil, gel polish, dot technique, rhinestones or crystals;

• the use of geometric themes in the design of accent nails, including not only figures, but also straight lines with points located on them, hollow figures superimposed on each other;
• decorating accents with a cage pattern over the entire area of ​​the nail plate;

• designation of a hole or smile with dots, foil, fantasy pattern;
• the focus of design on emphasizing belonging to a certain stylistic direction in a woman's clothes;
• decoration of accent nails with a pearl and holographic rub in;

• creation of a jacket on a veil basis on two or three nails of a manicure;
• Use decals and foils for decals and stamping to quickly decorate an accent or create, for example, a lacy smile.

Perhaps, today you cannot think of a better way than to decorate a manicure with a pattern. Indeed: the imagination of the master can be limited only by the length and shape of the nails. For the rest, depending on the professionalism, it is possible to carry out painting at the request of the client. For example, it can be a wet technique. Today it is considered one of the most popular ones, allowing you to create the visual effect of a drawing drowning in the base. The technique is somewhat reminiscent of watercolor, since with such a drawing, different shades of the material used should be slightly connected.

For summer, you can draw flowers, plants, wings of butterflies, dragonflies, ladybirds. For autumn, you can “dress up” round nails with leaves, depict them on a classic background, or instead of a smile on one or two nails. Drops of modeling gel or top, dried in a special lamp, will become a chic end of this design. Such a jacket will look super beautiful and effective on rounded nails. In winter, you can create the effect of snow powder by using white or silver acrylic sand to simulate snow. For New Year's holidays, you can even use a powder with a felt texture.

In spring, semicircular nails can be decorated with a pattern of icicles, depicting them instead of a smile on accentuated rounded nail plates. And again, transparent drops are also suitable here, which can be positioned even with an ordinary toothpick if there is no dots with a tiny ball at hand. You can not only draw the first thawed patches on the nails, but also glue ready-made stickers. For example, a spring morning in Paris will look super beautiful on nails, as well as the theme of urban spring and, of course, snowdrops.

Those looking to be in the spotlight will love the logo designs. Today it is ultra-fashionable, besides, such a design of a jacket is suitable for any season. Nails with prints from such fashion houses as Prada and Gucci, without unnecessary decor, are able to bring high status to any women's outfit, even if its cut is simple and the color will not be bright. Of course, such stickers are more expensive than ordinary pictures, but they will last for a long time, because no more than two of them are used in design. In this case, one should dominate, and on the second hand it is worth picking up a repeating picture, but not cloning the first one.
