Methods and types
There are three main types of French manicure on extended nails. Each of them has its own charm and technique.
- Express. This type of extension is made using a special white tip attachment for each individual nail. As a rule, such elements are denser than other similar parts. After they are applied, proceed to the application of reliable gel fixers. Drying in this case is carried out under the influence of an ultraviolet lamp.
This version is fast and simple. It is ideal for beginner nail builders at home.

- Molded jacket. This type of French manicure is performed by applying a gel layer of the required color. It can be not only white, but also any other, depending on the choice of the fashionista. With this design, the tip of the marigold is applied first. Only after this does the master proceed to the formation of the rest of the plate.
- Drawn. There is also an equally attractive drawn-type jacket. A similar manicure is based on the use of a simple transparent gel. It is from it that the nail of the required shape is then created. The tip is then shaped in the lady's choice of color.

Length and shape of nails
An oversized jacket is a wonderful and very beautiful solution. During its implementation, marigolds can be given a variety of shapes. As mentioned earlier, most often the nails take on a square, oval or round shape.
Regarding the length of the nails and the width of the free edge, moderation should be shown here. The ugly long "claws" have long been a thing of the past. They look ridiculous and sometimes vulgar. Today, even sharp marigolds should look solid and neat. The tip of the nail plate should not be sharp and prickly like a needle. Otherwise, it will not only look strange, but can also cause various injuries and torn wardrobe items. The neat almond shape of the marigolds will be optimal in this case. This is followed by another attractive solution - nails in the form of "peak" or "pointe".

As for the classic rounded marigolds, they will always look harmonious if executed and processed conscientiously. On them, as well as on pointed plates, the jacket will look lovely.
Do not think that a jacket will only suit long nails. A similar design is able to decorate short, round nails, giving them enchanting tenderness and femininity. The main thing is to do everything correctly and accurately.

What colors can I use?
As mentioned above, when decorating marigolds with a beautiful French manicure, there is no need to dwell only on the good old white color. Modern women of fashion are faced with a huge selection of different colors for any image and style. White jacket looks expensive and delicate, colorful - bright and original. Let's take a look at a list of the most attractive palettes.

- French, sustained in light colorswill also look attractive. In this case, the edge of the nail may be white, and the rest of the plate may be peach or flesh.

- The two-tone design is equally attractive. In a double color combination, the jacket looks livelier and more interesting. So, for the spring-summer season, a design with a red, blue, orange or pink stripe is best suited, and for the autumn-winter period, dark shades will be the ideal solution.
