If you want to make a beautiful manicure, many modern women choose the French version, because it fits perfectly with any style of dress, mood. Nail design french can be made in pastel or bright colors, does not exclude the presence of the original design or painting, for example, on the ring fingers of both hands.

French on nails

This version of the manicure is considered a classic, and fashionable France has become its birthplace. In the 70s of the last century, this design first appeared in Hollywood on film sets. The fact is that the actresses had to radically change the image several times per hour, and there simply wasn’t enough time to do another manicure. French on the nails became a compromise solution for all occasions, moreover, each season acquired an updated look, a new highlight.

Currently, a stylish jacket with a design has acquired an elegant, sophisticated and most unexpected look. Manicure looks perfect on round, sharp, square and oval nails, equally transforms short and long nail plates. In addition, it can be extensions gel or acrylic base, which lengthens the period of wearing beauty on the nails.

French with pattern

Fashion trends determine the lacquer palette, the appropriate design for each season. French manicure with a picture has a themed design: for example, in the spring it is recommended to use beige, blue, pink, delicate shades, delicate compositions with sparkles, and in the autumn radical solutions are welcomed, for example, a smile can be not only white, but also black. He looks fresh and stylish, and unusual french necessarily becomes the pride of the owner. As for flowers, burgundy, red, brown, purple are welcome in autumn.

Color jacket

Photos of finished works are sure to interest tempted fashionistas, since one design can combine blue, green, red and even black shades. Many ideas, but they are more suitable as a summer option. A multi-colored jacket, like shellac, uplifting, it also provides for the application of various pictures and images on the ring finger of each hand. It turns out that a manicure with a classic jacket looks original, catchy and non-beat. The choice of color compositions is individual, depending on the wishes and visions of the client.

French with rhinestones

The use of accessories is appropriate not only on natural nail plates, but also after extension. French manicure with rhinestones - the hit is no longer the first fashion season, and the presence of bright stones makes it look festive, expensive, enchanting. As a basis, you can use a double or moon jacket, while it is important to take into account the length of the nail plate. For example, on short nails it is better not to use rhinestones or to pre-grow the base using the same modeling gel.


French for short nails

If a girl has shortened nail plates in her hands - it does not matter, because you can pick up an original design that will visually lengthen it. There are enough varieties of manicure, there are original novelties, however, it is better than finding a moon jacket for short nails (white, black), it is difficult to find a composition. Photos of finished works emphasize that the nail plate with the correct design is extended at least visually. For some women, this is a true salvation, moreover, on the ring finger you can draw something unusual, but relevant in subject.

How to make a french

Most women carefully choose the salon and must have their own manicurist, follow the novelties. However, you can save a few expenses if you make your fingernails in a comfortable home environment. This skill is available to everyone, but there are certain rules. So, before you make a manicure french at home, it is recommended to perform a hardware or hygienic manicure, cut off the cuticle, give the desired length and shape of the nail plate. Further actions are presented below:

  1. First, a special base is applied on the nail base (beige or pale pink in color), and it is necessarily dried.
  2. Then white “smiles” are performed along the edge of each nail plate, and also with the obligatory drying of each nail.
  3. Then colorless fixer is applied (matte or glossy). This completes the classic manicure service jacket. As an original novelty, you can paint one of the nails, matching the color scheme and style of the selected design.

French manicure is a classic of all time. Strict, neat and attractive, he inspires the masters to create new, more and more interesting variants of its execution. How to perform a French manicure, give it a zest and originality - read our article.

Classic french

The classic is classic, to remain the same over time. French is a brilliant success. Appearing in 1976 and to this day, he did not for a moment lose leadership positions among women. The beauty of the classic jacket is that it is perfect for absolutely any occasion, be it a party, working weekday or an ordinary walk, it goes well with all outfits, even of the most unusual colors. Therefore, if you do not know what kind of manicure to do - do French.

Some suggest that it fits exceptionally long nails, but this is a fallacy. French makes nails neat, well-groomed and looks great on long, medium and short nails.

Another advantage of the French is that it can be done at home without any problems. The stores sell entire sets in which there is the most necessary for its creation, including stencils. They will help to create neat marigolds without additional help.

And in order not to spend money on stickers all the time, you can create a smile line with a thin brush for nails. By the time it takes longer and you will need to work out a knack, but then you can create a manicure much faster and at the same time without purchased stencils.


And in order to somehow diversify the simplicity of the jacket, you can use a discreet decoration in the form of adhesive tape. Such a decoration is a mere penny, and in the roll there is so much material that it will suffice for a long time, but it is extraordinarily beautiful, attractive and at the same time not vulgar.


But on this nail design does not stop. Next, consider other interesting options for its execution.

French manicure with a pattern

A simple manicure, if you do it regularly, can pall. And when the soul requires innovations - it's time to replace the classics with something new, but at the same time similar to what was. Oh, what are the only variants of the figure in the French manicure does not exist. From delicate flowers on the nails, to elegant laces. Here the whole thing is limited solely by the imagination of the master.

A wonderful option for everyday life, if you want to perform drawings on all nails, - draw flowers from the same white lacquer. They will not be so much striking, but they will not remain unnoticed. Delicate design for a romantic girl.


I want something more noticeable - replace the white lacquer for jewelry with black, or just harmonize their combination. True, there is a danger that the nails with such a contrast will look coarse. To avoid this, do not decorate all the nails, stop on the decor 1-2 (medium or nameless). This will give color to the image, and at the same time preserve its aesthetics.

If the desire for novelty just rolls over, you can radically change the approach, leaving only the principle of execution from the classic french. Bring color and more brightness, turn on the fantasy and follow it. Here, for example, interesting with bows and coloring a la "ladybug". It is done quite simply, but it looks great.


Another interesting technique of performance - french with lace. No matter how much you like to paint an ornament, remember that marigolds will look gentle and innocent only if the picture fits on only 1 marigold of the hand. Attempts to improve all the nails will lead to the fact that all the highlight will be lost.


You can create drawings yourself using a thin brush and multi-colored varnishes, or purchase special stickers for nails. The main thing is to harmoniously combine patterns, elements and remember that with such things it is better to observe minimalism.


French manicure with rhinestones

It is difficult to find a girl who would not like rhinestones. The only difference is in the amount of this decoration. By default, it is considered that everything brilliant is about a festive look. However, a competent approach and a sense of style helps to use stones in everyday manicure. The minimum number of rhinestones on the nails fit perfectly even in a strict dress code.

When performing a manicure with rhinestones, the main thing to remember is: if you want to put as many stones as possible, then make an ardent accent on one nail of the hand, leaving the others in a classic variation; with minimalism, rhinestones can fit on all nails.






Glue rhinestones on the nails in two ways: on the lacquer and on cosmetic glue. The latter method has high strength. Good cosmetic glue can be purchased in professional stores.


Multicolor french manicure

A truly summer, juicy and bright manicure, using different colors. The main rule is the compatibility of the collora used. And then only your tastes and preferences. If at first you doubt the feasibility of such a manicure - you can try a combination of classic colors, and then gradually move to more bold shades, for example, as in the photo below.



The next stage, on which you can quickly dare - painting nails in different colors.


And here is a wonderful combination of color manicure with a pattern. The latter is based on the same color that was used to paint the tips of the nails.


A great option for a festive event. Bright and shiny jacket, complete with rhinestones of different sizes.


Black jacket

Black jacket, even without additional decoration will stand out "from the crowd." It looks very nice and concise, but before you do it you should know one feature. If the nails are short and the free tip extends beyond the pads of fingers by 2-3 mm, then it is better to leave the black color for the French manicure for later. The fact is that visually he “cuts off” the nail and makes it completely invisible. But on medium and long nails, it will look great.

Black french, like white, provides for the classics, i.e. applying a base coat and black lacquer on the free end of the nail.


But even here, if you replace the pink color, for example, with a matte beige, the same classic will remain, but with a unique freshness.


However, unlike white, a black jacket can quickly become boring. Therefore, the desire to change and add something will arise much more often. The blessing that black color is combined with many things and having included quite a bit of fantasy, you can create a whole piece of art on your nails.

For example, the usual decorative ribbons for nails, which we mentioned above, will give manicure a high price and will even add color to it without much change. Additional highlights can be made using a combination of gloss and mat.

Even without ribbons, the two opposite sides of glitter look unusual.


Someone may find the black lacquer too rough for a french, but everything can be solved with the help of a drawing. Even a simple flower on the nameless fingers of both hands, made in a contrasting color, will radically change the impression of the once “rough” nails.


And one more very beautiful and unusual performance of a black jacket, not looking rude and depressing.


French manicure red

Previously, we have already touched on French manicure using red. This is one of the types of color jacket, mainly for those who are still afraid to switch to a multi-colored and contrasting manicure. The red color, as in other matters, and most others, has one drawback, it is not like everything. Therefore, if you like to combine everything in the image (the color of lacquer and clothing), then think over your wardrobe while wearing such a manicure, especially if you want to do it.


Like other types of color jacket, red can be perfectly combined with different elements of decor. For example, rhinestones on one nail and the shiny edging of the smile line look unusual and attractive.


Another similar option, but instead of large rhinestones and large clusters, preference is given to minimalism.

The most striking design due to alternation. Red jacket in tandem with completely painted nails and decorative inlays of gold and white pattern. True, such a bold combination can give your nails unnecessary frivolity, so when making a choice in the direction of something unusual and fresh, you need to be extremely careful, because these are still nails, not pano.


French manicure with flowers

Flowers - this is a universal picture, which, probably, is always in place, no matter what kind of manicure you choose. It will always refresh the design and at the same time will look gentle. But, of course, for the most part it all depends on the type of flower and the color scheme chosen for its drawing. You can give preference to a simple, discreet pattern:




and more complex performance of contrasting shades.





In any case, it should be remembered that it will be very difficult to perform such work on your own hands, especially if before that you were limited to classic manicure. Therefore, do not wait for instant results, have patience, practice constantly and you will definitely succeed.

Moon french manicure

This is the same jacket, only inverted. Came to us in modernity from the distant past. But oddly enough, every year it becomes more and more popular, and there are no fewer options for its execution than usual.

Classic moon manicure is very similar to the usual French, only in addition to the top of the nail, his hole is painted over in the same white color. It all looks like this.


In principle, not everyone is trying to decorate the top of the nail plate. Direct evidence of this is the following photo, where the entire emphasis fell precisely on the hole.


Full freedom in choosing the color palette. The combination of bright shades are welcome.


Even if you are not a special lover of abrupt transitions, you can combine business with pleasure. For example, here's a variant of the delicate harmony of white and blue would be appropriate in most cases.


Bright and fairly familiar to the eye, a combination of white and red colors. Moderately catchy and concise.


Gentle french

And now we will consider simple examples of the most delicate service jacket.








Blue french manicure

For lovers of bright and unusual for their nails, suitable manicure with blue shades. Design, as in the previous variations, is very different and is designed for its connoisseur.






French manicure or french is considered one of the most stylish types of nail design. It is very popular with women all over the world. This article will tell about its most actual types.

Classic option

One of the reasons why many ladies and girls prefer the French manicure is its maximum naturalness, due to which it is appropriate both in the office and at a solemn event.

The classic version of the jacket involves staining the upper edge of the nails with white. This design allows them to look well-groomed and healthy.


Types of white jacket

It is human nature to strive for change. This is especially true of women. If you do not want to give up your favorite nail design, you can choose something more fresh. For example, today in the fashion of such types of jacket, as the "lace" or "double."

In the first case, the “smile” (white upper edge) is not solid, but is carried out in the form of a thin ornament. In the second, the nail hole is also covered with white. In addition, you can give a classic french service a festive look by pasting straziki or applying a thin striped silver lacquer with sparkles between the “smile” and the unfilled area of ​​the nail.

As an option, you can also offer to make a classic French manicure on 4 fingers of each hand, and decorate index fingers with a lace pattern or paint over white lacquer completely.

Color jacket

If the classic does not suit you, it can be used to create a bright design. For example, color kinds of french on the nails look original. For this fit any varnishes saturated shades.

Some designers go even further and offer to paint the tip of the nail of each finger in a different color, or even make a smile in 3D style. This jacket (the types of design in the bulk version, see the photo) is suitable for young girls. He will look good and on vacation. However, such a nail art should not choose a solid lady or an employee of the office of a serious company.


French and nail extensions

Unfortunately, not every girl has perfectly beautiful hands by nature. First of all, this refers to the shape of nails, which are often far from perfect. In addition, many of the fair sex can not grow them to the desired length. Of course, you need to deal with brittleness and slow nail growth by applying various masks and including in your diet. However, there are solutions that allow you to decorate your hands immediately.

In particular, acrylic or gel nail extension has become widespread. After such procedures, any kind of jacket looks great. Due to the fact that the extended nails are usually longer than natural ones, they can be used for an unusual French manicure. Indeed, in this case, the master "canvas" is larger than usual.


Types of french on extended nails

Among the popular options this year are:

  • French style "Millennium". It is applied with the help of glitter, which cover the free edge of the nail.
  • Twist-french To create this version of nail art, a “smile” is made by applying several stripes of different colors to the upper edge of the nail plate so that a rainbow is finally obtained. They can be clear or blend into each other.
  • Avant-garde nail art in the style of french. Looks good and avant-garde options. For example, several quadrilaterals of different bright colors with thin black contours can be applied on the upper part of the nail. They should be located so that the bottom edge of the "smile" was in the form of steps.
  • Metallic option. Looks great French design, created using silver or gold lacquer. The tips of the nails in this case will look like chrome or gold and give
  • Ethno-option. Such a French manicure involves the creation of a thin stripe in the form of an ethno-ornament on the edge of the nail. It can be both a drawing for Gzhel and Khokhloma, as well as a decor for African or Arabic motifs.
  • Peas. This design option is pretty enough, especially if you choose the right colors. The most attractive are the classic combination of white or black stripes with bright red peas. In order to make the manicure more mischievous, you can decorate one of the nails with the image of a bow in the same polka dots.
  • Leopard french Among the current versions of the French manicure is the application on the upper edge of the nail plate pattern, which resembles the one that adorns the skin of the representatives of the cat family. It can be a cheetah, tiger or leopard print.


Smile line decoration

You can create fashionable types of french, and using thematic design for the bottom line. For example, you can draw a mustache on it like Hercule Poirot, a bow, a snowflake, etc.

Various experiments with the contours of a "smile" are permissible. Since today many world-famous masters offer to sharpen the nail plate, giving it a pointed shape, the line of the colored strip on the upper edge can be made the same.

Now you know what types of jacket are relevant today. In any case, fashion in the field of manicure today is quite democratic and does not imply strict dictate, so do not be afraid of bold experiments that will help breathe new life into the traditional service jacket.
