10 Fashionable variations of a jacket

French manicure is an all-time classic. Austere, neat and attractive, it inspires craftsmen to create new, more and more interesting versions of its execution. How you can perform a French manicure, give it zest and uniqueness - read our article.

Classic jacket

A classic is a classic in order to remain unchanged over time. French succeeds in this with brilliant success. Having appeared in 1976 and to this day, he has not for a moment lost his leadership position among women. The beauty of a classic jacket is that it is perfect for absolutely any occasion, be it a party, workdays or an ordinary walk, it goes well with all outfits, even the most unusual colors. Therefore, if you do not know what kind of manicure to do, do French.

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

Another advantage of French manicure in that it can be done at home without any problems. The stores sell whole sets, which contain the essentials for its creation, including stencils. They will help create neat marigolds without additional help.

And in order not to constantly spend money on stickers, you can create a smile line with a thin nail brush. It will take longer and it will take you to develop skill, but then, you will be able to 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 worth mere pennies, and there is so much material in the roll that it will last for a long time, however nails will look unusually beautiful, attractive and at the same time not vulgar.

But this is not the end of the nail design. Next, we will consider other interesting options for its implementation.

French manicure with a pattern

A simple manicure, if done regularly, can become boring. And when the soul demands innovations, it's time to replace the classics with something new, but at the same time similar to what was. Oh, what options for a pattern on a French manicure does not exist. From delicate flowers on the nails to delicate lace. Here the whole thing is limited exclusively by the master's imagination.

A great option for everyday life, if you want to make drawings on all nails, is to draw flowers from the same white varnish. They will not be so striking, but they will not go unnoticed either. Delicate design for a romantic girl.

I would like something more noticeable - replace the white varnish for jewelry with black, or just harmonize their combination. True, there is a danger that marigolds with such a contrast will look clumsy. To avoid this, do not decorate all your nails, go with decor 1-2 (medium or unnamed). This will add color to the image, and at the same time preserve its aesthetics.

If the desire for novelty simply goes off scale, you can radically change the approach, leaving only the principle of execution from the classic jacket. Add color and more brightness, turn on your imagination and follow it. For example, an interesting one output option for marigold with bows and colors a la "ladybug". It is done quite simply, but it looks great.

Another interesting technique of execution is a jacket with lace. As much as you like drawing an ornament, remember that the marigolds will look gentle and innocent only if the drawing is placed on only 1 marigold of the hand. Attempts to refine all the nails will lead to the fact that all the zest 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 it is better to observe minimalism with such things.

French manicure with rhinestones

It's hard to find a girl who doesn't like rhinestones. The only difference is the amount of this decoration. By default, it is generally accepted that everything shiny is about a festive look. However, a competent approach and a sense of style helps to use stones in everyday manicure. The minimum amount of rhinestones on the nails will fit perfectly even into a strict dress code.

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

You can go further and combine two types of designs: pattern and rhinestones. The harmonious combination of these elements does not interfere with each other, but only complements.

There are two ways to glue rhinestones on nails: on varnish and on cosmetic glue. The latter method is characterized by increased strength. A good cosmetic adhesive can be obtained from professional stores.

Multicolor French manicure

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

As a color classic, you can consider the usual replacement of white varnish with a different shade, but apply it to all nails. For example, red varnish looks beautiful and relatively strict.

The next step, which you can quickly dare to, is painting your nails in different colors.

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

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

Black French

A black jacket, even without additional decor, will stand out “from the crowd”. It looks very nice and laconic, but before doing it, you should know one feature. If the nails are short and the free tip extends 2-3 mm beyond the fingertips, then it is better to leave the black color for French manicure for later. The fact is that visually it will "cut" the nail and make it completely invisible. But on medium and long nails, it will look great.

Black jacket, like white, provides for the classics, i.e. applying base coat and black varnish to the free end of the nail.

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

However, unlike white, a black jacket can quickly become boring. Therefore, much more often there will be a desire to change and add something. Fortunately, the black color is combined with many things and by turning on quite a bit of imagination, you can create a whole work of art on your nails.

For example, the usual decorative tapes for nails, which we mentioned above, will make a manicure expensive and will add color even without strong changes. Additional flair can be added with a combination of gloss and mat.

Even without ribbons, two sides of opposite shine look unusual.

Someone may find black varnish too rough for a jacket, but everything can be solved with the help of a drawing. Even a simple flower on the ring 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, which does not look rude and dreary.

French manicure red

We have previously touched on French manicure using red. This is one of the types of colored jacket mainly for those who are still afraid to switch to multi-colored and contrasting manicure. The red color, like most of the others, has one drawback, it does not seem like everything. Therefore, if you like everything to be combined in the image (the color of varnish and clothes), then think over the wardrobe while wearing such a manicure, especially if you want to do shellac.

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

Another similar option, only instead of large rhinestones and a large cluster of them, minimalism is preferred.

Most striking design due to alternation. Red jacket in tandem with fully painted nails and decorative inserts of gold and white pattern. True, such a bold combination can give the nails unnecessary clumsy, therefore, when making a choice towards something unusual and fresh, you need to be extremely careful, because these are still nails, not pano.

French manicure with flowers

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

and more complex execution of contrasting shades.

In any case, it should be remembered that it will be very difficult to perform such creativity on your own hands, especially if before that you limited yourself to a classic manicure. Therefore, do not expect instant results, be patient, practice constantly and you will definitely succeed.

Lunar French manicure

Moon manicure this is the same jacket, only inverted. He came to our time from the distant past. But oddly enough, every year it becomes more and more popular, and the options for its execution are not a little less than usual.

A classic moon manicure is very similar to an ordinary French one, only in addition to the top of the nail, its hole is painted over here, 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 proof of this is the following photo, where the whole emphasis fell on the hole.

Complete freedom in choosing a color palette. Combinations of bright colors are welcome.

Even if you are not particularly fond of sharp transitions, you can combine business with pleasure. For example, this version of the gentle harmony of white and blue will be appropriate in most cases.

The combination of white and red colors is bright and quite familiar to the eye. Moderately catchy and laconic.

Delicate jacket

And now let's look at simple examples of the most delicate jacket.

Blue French manicure

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