French manicure is constantly undergoing modernization and with each of its reincarnations it becomes more and more interesting and beautiful.

French manicure: how to do it?
As noted above, making a French manicure itself is not difficult. There are three ways to create a French manicure, but before performing any of them, you need to prepare your nails. Armed with a nail file, we give the desired shape to the nails. Short round nails are in trend this season. Next, if you have time, make a hand bath with herbs or sea salt. After that, we remove the cuticle. Despite the fact that it became soft after the bath, it is still advisable to use a special cosmetic product.
To keep the varnish for a long time, create a slight roughness on the surface of the nail with a fine-grained file. This must be done very carefully so as not to severely damage the nail plate. Directly the French manicure itself is done using white, translucent pastel varnish and finish varnish. The order in which the first two coats are applied may vary. You can paint the tips of your nails with a white shade first, and then apply a pearlescent coating or do the opposite. How to make a line?
There are three ways:
- Draw a line by hand using a special brush;
- Cover the tips of the nails with white gel polish, without waiting for it to dry, smooth the line with a flat brush abundantly moistened with nail polish remover, make it rounded;
- Use pre-purchased glue-based stencils (and they must be removed immediately after drawing the line so that the varnish does not have time to dry out, then the line will be smoother and more beautiful).
At the end of the French manicure, cover the nails with a finishing transparent varnish, and lubricate the cuticles with nourishing oil. By the way, cosmetic kits for creating a French manicure can be purchased already assembled, in which you can find everything you need.
LIFEHACK: How to make a home smooth French manicure for short and long nails?
We figured out how to make a French manicure in its standard design, now let's see what other types of jacket are.
Varieties of French manicure
With the development of the beauty industry, including or French manicure has undergone significant changes. Many varieties have appeared. Here are just a few of them.
Shiny French manicure
Such a manicure is very similar to a classic jacket. The difference is that glitter is used instead of white varnish. This can be done for some special event. It looks more like an evening one (for example) than an everyday one. It is permissible to use sequins of different sizes, large, small or mixed, the main thing is to fix them well with transparent varnish. Glitter French manicure looks very impressive and respectable, a great option. To make more, you can additionally decorate the nails with small rhinestones or pearls.
An even strip can be made by carefully dipping the edge of the nail in a jar of sparkles, then blowing off the excess, drying in a lamp and covering with an additional layer of top.
Lace French manicure
To create such a manicure, stickers or special plates / stencils for stamping are used. Such a manicure is done as usual, with the exception of an additional layer of white varnish, which is applied to the lace. Very elegant lace French manicure is very often done for a wedding.
The wedding version of the French manicure is, as a rule, a combination of lace manicure with rhinestones, pearls, sequins and patterns. French manicure is considered a classic of the genre. It is not pretentious, but on the contrary is very elegant and beautiful, which is why brides often make it. Nails look very well-groomed and aesthetically pleasing at the same time, without distracting from the main wedding attribute - a wedding ring.
To diversify the classic French manicure, you can draw a V-shaped line on the tips of your nails instead of a white arc. By the way, such stencils for French manicure are no longer uncommon. This type of manicure looks very original. In general, you can experiment with the line. For example, if your nails are square, make them straight or draw them at an angle.
You can also make a French manicure with a special gel for aquarium design. A voluminous manicure is decorated with mica, dried flowers, rhinestones, confetti, shells and other nail accessories. A French manicure of this kind is laborious to perform, but very elegant.
This is a very popular type of French manicure today. The shape of the French manicure remains standard, but the execution changes slightly. Instead of classic white and pastel shades, bright contrasting tones of gel polishes are used.
Gradient French manicure
It is also called the fashionable term ombre (amber). In this type of French manicure, the crescent moon at the tip of the nail does not have a clear border and is performed with two shades of varnishes that are similar in tone. To create the effect of a smooth transition from one color to another, use a sponge or eye shadow applicator.
The secret of this technique lies in the fact that without a matte finish, not the nail itself remains, but only the hole. This jacket looks very stylish and unobtrusive.
Moon manicure or moon jacket
The arc at the bottom of the nail is often duplicated at its base. Do it in the same white color or leave it uncoated, laying out the border with rhinestones.
French manicure can also be done with one shade of gel polish. This design option leaves unpainted space in front of the smile line. It turns out very original. This version of the jacket is more suitable for dark colors, when the contrast between the shade of the gel polish and the empty area is more noticeable.
Nowadays, minimalistic design is in vogue, and in accordance with this trend, the classic jacket has undergone some changes. To make the manicure look more fashionable, the smile line is drawn in the form of a very thin, barely noticeable line. Also, a similar design can be supplemented with a geometric print.
Continuing the theme of minimalism, consider another extraordinary design that is now very popular in Asia. Draw circles on the tips of the nails. The technology of nail design is similar to the reverse moon manicure, only you need to start applying gel polish from about the middle of the nail plate. It is better to use neutral light shades of varnishes. You can add stripes or small metal fittings to the design.
Semicircular French manicure design
On a date or on Valentine's Day, you can make yourself an unusual option for decorating nails with hearts. Forget the classic smile line and draw cute hearts with red gel polish.
Romantic design
Artistic French manicure
There are many ways to make a golden jacket: foil, gel polish with a shimmery effect, metallic stickers, rub in, glitter, etc.
Trend # 6: Foil Prints
If you need a spectacular express design, then use casting foil in your nail decor. Transfer it to your nails as colored prints. You should end up with a craquelure effect only with foil. At the end of the manicure, you can cover your nails with a matte top. This novelty is gaining momentum and will soon be very popular.
Trend # 7: French manicure with a decorated strip
Geometry is in fashion, so when making a jacket, put emphasis on one nail. Just do not apply the design to the entire surface, select one vertical strip. Geometric gradient, molding, drawing in the form of a narrow rectangle, design with rhinestones, etc. are in trend.
Perhaps a separate chapter can be devoted to this type of manicure. French manicure with a pattern looks very impressive. Drawings are made in tune with clothing, makeup or the image as a whole. They can be divided into several categories, the most popular of which are:
- Seasonal drawings
They are carried out based on the time of year, in summer it can be flowers, snowflakes in winter, colorful foliage in autumn.

French for short nails is characterized by conciseness and modesty, but it looks just amazing! In this article, you will learn about the important features and trend ideas for the embodiment of a stylish manicure.
Main rules
- Dark colors tend to visually shorten the nail plate, so it is not recommended to use it as a base. Light and translucent tones will be a win-win solution.
- The classic version of the jacket involves the design of the protruding edge of the nail with a light varnish. This line can be subtle - so the manicure looks more neat. By the way, the thinnest line at the edge of the plate is the key trend of the 2019-2020 season.
- The design with rhinestones looks appropriate on short nails, but if the sparkling decor is small.
- A harmonious manicure can be complemented by drawings. Nail artists are advised to paint simple and concise patterns with a thin brush. Elegant monograms will look stylish and feminine.
- It is recommended to perform manicure with gel polish. Such a coating will honestly last for several weeks, will look neat and will not upset with cracks and chips.
Classic
Classic French manicure combines femininity and versatility. It involves the use of a transparent, peach, beige, sandy or light pink base. The designated palette is distinguished by its practicality - it fits the design of nails into any outfit and becomes its decoration.
For a natural length, a square or soft square shape is a good solution. The rounded outlines also look harmoniously with the laconic design of the jacket.
With holes
A stylish idea would be a combination of a smile and a hole in one manicure. The design of the base and edge of the nail can be in a single color, as well as create a fashionable contrast.
For example, the graphic union of white and black looks interesting, as well as shiny accents.
Graphics
Modern French manicure will definitely not be against graphic elements. The beauty of this design is its versatility. You can complement a smile with various geometric shapes or abstract compositions, the only limitation is your own imagination. One hundred percent trend is squares, rectangles and points at the base of the plates. The brighter these elements are, the cooler!
Foil
Not so long ago, a jacket with foil became popular. The sparkling décor takes on the challenge of creating an original imitation of a classic smile.
Color options
If the classic version of the jacket seems boring and trite to you, try replacing the traditional white smile with some bright shade. The nude base will definitely make friends with both pastel and juicy nail tips.
In a colored jacket, it is not at all necessary to limit yourself to a bright smile. You can select one nail for a monochromatic coating in the selected color, and another one can be supported by decorating the hole in the same palette. Due to the predominance of a delicate base, the manicure will not look overloaded even at a short length.
Multi-colored smiles are a real hit of the spring-summer season!
More shine
Shiny accents will help to make the French design more effective and bright. They look stylish in the overall composition.
If your goal is to visually lengthen your nails, place the glittering elements in a vertical direction. Even simple lines or curved lines will do the job and add elegance to your designs.
Brilliant smile
A separate type of brilliant manicure is a jacket with a radiant smile.
Gold, silver or rose gold looks especially stylish and expressive.
Rubbing
Rubbing can also be responsible for a shining accent in a manicure. This is a special powder that is rubbed into the base coat and creates a tone that is impressive with iridescence and play of light.
The most actual variations of the rub are "May beetle", pearlescent and metallic powder.
Double smile
The double smile technique is also considered a topical novelty, which is perfectly combined with the natural length of the nails.
Gradient
Among fashionistas with impeccable taste, a jacket with a gradient is also in demand. Its main highlight lies in the imitation of a smile, which is created due to the smooth transition of white and beige coating.
Rhinestones
You can create a festive mood in nail art with the help of gorgeous rhinestones. Sparkling decor looks beautiful in moderation. If the rhinestones are large enough, it is recommended to limit yourself to only 1-2 accents. Fashionistas especially love a white jacket with a rhinestone design, as it looks restrained and elegant at the same time.
Black design
The current design for the fall 2019 season may include a mysterious black color that looks stylish in a jacket for short nails.
The key to the success of such nail art is the utmost accuracy and conciseness. For example, you can do with slanted, thin smiles. They will harmonize wonderfully with a beige or milky finish.
Matte top
Modern fashion is not indifferent to matte manicure. A jacket with a velvet top looks especially delicate and sophisticated. Such a coating can be the perfect finish to a color or other extravagant French manicure design, it will make it more muted.
Take a look at the photo, how stylish matte finish complements the design with modern geometric lines. On short nails, it is important to rely on laconic and subtle patterns that do not overload the manicure.
With drawing
In the 2019 season, French nail art with a pattern is also in demand. All records in popularity are beaten by sophisticated floral motifs. The most stylish and harmonious drawing is usually done in a pastel palette in a laconic style.
For a stylish and trendy design, you can also use the spider web technique, which turned out to be among the leading trends of the 2019 season.
Another fresh trend is a jacket with inscriptions. To implement it, it is not necessary to draw each letter, you can cheat and use ready-made sliders. These stickers look beautiful under both glossy and matte tops.
Oblique
A novelty of recent seasons is the implementation of a smile along an oblique line. This technique can be repeated even on short lengths. The alternation of different widths of a smile, as well as its combination with a classic jacket or a monochromatic coating, looks very unusual.
Creative graphic design in the 2019 season can combine bright colors. So, among the trends is the union of red and beige, light green and fuchsia, black and turquoise. Any proposed option can be done independently, armed with a stencil or a piece of paper tape to indicate the border of flowers.
Angular
The shape of a smile can also be in the shape of an angle. Such an original design will emphasize the individuality of the owner and create a zest in her image. In addition, a jacket with such a geometric pattern visually lengthens the marigolds. The main thing is to choose a harmonious combination of shades. You can use both related and contrasting colors.
Our photo selection showed you how stylish and varied a jacket for short nails can be. Those with natural length often abandon complex designs, because the area for drawing details is too small. But trendy French nail art ideas will help create a beautiful, sophisticated and contemporary manicure.
Flesh-colored shoes are a must-have for any fashionista! First, they are versatile in their combinations. Secondly, they visually slim and lengthen the legs. And if you rely on boats, you will create an elegant and expensive look.

- If there are no stencils, then scotch tape will replace them.
- You can draw smiles and holes with a brush by hand, sometimes it turns out even smoother.
- You can cover the surface with a colorless varnish with a small amount of glitter or a chameleon fixative.
Don't worry if smiles don't work out even at first. With a little skill, your french technique will always be perfect. Different materials can be used: acrylic, varnish, gel varnish, etc. It all depends on which one you own better.
