French manicure gel varnish: from options to create

French manicure today is equated to the classic design techniques. It remains on the crest of the wave since its inception, and this is today 40 years. Experienced nail service specialists are now creating it with coatings created using advanced technologies. Consider what the main fashion trends for this year are relative to the service jacket, find out which colors are popular today. In addition, we will introduce beginners to the rules of step-by-step instructions for creating this elegant design.

French manicure, which appeared in America for the sake of reducing the time for painting the nails of actresses, today is variable in design. In the traditional version, it necessarily implies a bodily basis for the background and a white pigment for dyeing the growth edge, which is called a smile. Due to the use of natural varnish, it harmoniously looks in any female set. In addition, natural beige or nude is suitable for decorating nails of a woman of different age groups.

However, french can not be called an ideal design for a short nail bed. On such nails, it creates the effect of visual shortening of the plate, which is able to deprive the elegance of not only the nails, but also the fingers. Of great importance for elegant design is the choice of a particular shade, because each woman has his own due to the characteristics of the skin and the color type.

To date, there are two main types of French design: traditional and inverted. In ordinary French manicure, a smile is made from above at the place of nail regrowth. The second option is remarkable in that the contrast arm is located at the base of the nail plate. Both types of jacket look beautiful and stylish. Both are varieties of the same technique, although they have their own differences in terms of design.

Someone calls reverse jacket lunar design. However, today fashion clearly defines manicure with holes, as a separate type of technique, since the look of the reverse french and moon is different. For example, in the reverse jacket, the hole follows the contour of the base of the nail, while in the design with the holes, the hole itself does not frame the background covering, but has the shape turned away from the growing nail. In the opposite manicure, the contour of a smile itself is important, which is a kind of design completion.

You can add an alternative or fantasy smile to the two main methods. It is created in various ways, including hand-painted, stamping, stickers and disposable stencils. In most cases, when working with any of these techniques, individual smiles are obtained, and it is difficult to repeat them exactly. Fantasy smiles are unique in that they often become an adornment of laconic French design. They can indicate its seasonality or purpose (for a wedding, publication, office work).

It is considered that the French manicure is suitable for any form of nails. But let's be honest: the technique is designed for elegance and grace. Therefore, everything that gives aggression, whether length or excessive sharpness, will not fully convey the beauty of the service jacket.More recently, short nails were in fashion, but today fashion considers that a slight lengthening is necessary for a french.

Ideally, the grown edge should be no more than 5-7 mm. This is enough for any design, as well as the choice of a specific shape of a smile, depending on the shape of the nail. In addition, this length is enough for a combined manicure, if you want to decorate the nail bed, in addition to the top smiles, with holes. This length is convenient and the fact that the color of the jacket can be any, it will not seem vulgar even in the case of choosing bright varnishes.

As for the shape of the edge, today fashion trends clearly define the three best options. In the first place, they put a rounded square, in which a smile looks not only perfect, but also allows you to decorate the upper edge of the most diverse decor. For example, on this form, you can perform a fantasy smile. The second place of honor went to almond-shaped nails. Today this smooth shape with a rounded top is considered incredibly tender and feminine.

In addition to the rounded square and almond, the oval shape is considered popular. It is considered universal, suitable for any design, color and decor. French on oval nails looks beautiful and sophisticated. This form is able to visually improve not only the nails, but also the fingers. Very nice, it looks on the nail plate with an extended bed.

Modern french today overgrown with a mass of options. In this case, the basis of technology can not only be traditional: the French manicure of the new season can be combined. For example, the jacket can be an independent design, the basis for the combined technique with the classics. And also it can be used as accents of other equipment. In this case, it is performed only on the accent nail plates.

One of the leading trends in the new season will be the emphasis on perfect skin of the hands and shape of the nails. Fashion believes that this is the basis of the basics, and therefore offers to get rid of excess decoration and variegation.

The minimalism of this season is manifested in everything: from the appointment of a manicure to the amount of decor. Already today the number of accents is reduced: 10 equally decorated marigolds are considered bad taste and variegation. Under the accent should understand the nail, decorated differently than all the plates with smiles. It is desirable that the French design was no more than four accents.

At the same time, as specialists of the nail service note, the accents should be placed on two adjacent nails (ring and middle fingers). If you want to decorate the jacket with just one accent, you need to place it on the nail of the ring finger. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to smile on it, although depending on the design, you can make it fancy.

One of the trends of the new season has become a manicure for a certain season of the year. Using a different decor or, say, hand-painted, it can be embodied in French design to the best extent. An excellent tool for the realization of seasonal design can be various drawings: for the fall, these are raindrops with umbrellas, falling leaves, sketches of the autumn city. Summer jacket can be decorated with a variety of bugs and butterflies.

But the wings of the butterfly can be an excellent alternative to the traditional smile.You can create a smile in the form of branches with leaves and unblown buds, flowers. Beautifully look in French design and hearts that create the original form of a service jacket. Winter jacket can be decorated with various snowflakes, frost patterns, including Scandinavian ornaments and ethnically motifs.

Megandy patterns, as well as all kinds of lace, which can be decorated with French accents, are megapopular. In the spring, you can create in the place of a smile various imitations of a gradient, draw melting icicles, snowdrops. To support this or that mood, you can use a different decor. For example, kamifubuki better than other decorative material will indicate that the design belongs to the Christmas theme. Rhinestones will indicate the solemnity of the appointment.

Despite the contradictions of the opinions of beauty bloggers and professional craftsmen, powder materials today are stylish and effective tools for changing the texture of the most common coatings. As for rubbing, it is better to use pearl dust for french. It is weightless and can create a special effect even on a transparent basis without pigment. Today it is this polyester powder that is considered the most trendy.

Acrylic sand, sugar and flock powder differ in a variety. These powders are used to decorate the jacket. They do not create a smile, but as a background of accents or three-dimensional drawing, they look very impressive. In this case, the print can be completely simple and geometric. Even the usual vertical with acrylic powder on the accent plate will attract the enthusiastic views of others.

According to the fashion trends of the season, the decorative elements of French manicure should not be voluminous and too large. Given its lightness, you need to more carefully consider the choice of each element. For example, the inlay can be made with opals or Swarovski crystals, but not with loose stones and without covering the entire nail plate. You can not complicate the manicure, because of this image of a woman becomes boring, and sometimes completely ridiculous.

The arrangement of rhinestones should not be chaotic: they are fixed dosed and strictly in places that are suitable for this. For example, it is now fashionable to isolate the cuticle area with a light arc of small sparkling stones. Or you can also use rhinestones for the flower middling on french's accent nails. To make the stones look more organic, they are often combined with bouillons.

Today it is considered ugly to wear false nails. They often rebound at the most inopportune moment, besides they negatively affect the nail plate, forcing it to take the form of artificial tips, which is often accompanied by painful sensations. However, building is quite welcome, as well as strengthening the nail plates with a special tool with a thickening effect. In addition, French manicure fashion trends are also proposed to perform in the technique of aqua design, often sealing fantasy smiles with several layers of modeling tools.

The traditional jacket, which is relevant outside of time and season, is performed by means of white and flesh varnishes. Today, due to the diversity of tones, beige is often replaced with nude tones, which, in addition to the natural base, have inclusions of pink paint. They look beautiful and natural, such a manicure is suitable for any image of a woman, despite her craving for a certain style in clothes.

Today, the colors of the jacket are varied. Actual combinations of the new season can be called combinations:

• powdery and blue;
• flesh and lilac;
• here and lemon;
• powder and blue;
• Marsala (emerald) and beige;

• red, black and cream;
• winy with pinkish and white;
• creamy with black;
• beige with black and gold;
• nuda and eggplant.

Studio masters try to stick to the naturalness of the background, emphasizing color solutions on the contrast of a smile. It is the naturalness of the background that they consider the main factor in the elegance of the jacket. Often, camouflage is used for design, combining it with white or black color, diluting a strict duet with gold or silver paint. By the way, gold and silver today are very popular in the design of the jacket, as well as various glitter, which can create the effect of light and weightless pollen.

For blue, it can be white or creamy pigment, red is better combined with solid or powdery. Color jacket needs muffling and nobility of shades, the tone may be related to a particular piece of clothing or even an accessory.

Depending on whether the hardware is a manicure or nail design at home, the tools and materials for work may vary. The craftsmen use the fraser, preparing the nails for coloring and design with the help of the device. At home, you can use the usual nail scissors, scissors (tweezers to remove the cuticle) and orange stick. Pusher with a spatula for pushing back and lifting the cuticle will become an indispensable tool.

In addition to the main set, the work can not do without:

• base material;
• topcoat;
• pigment for the background;
• material for a smile;
• means for degreasing nails;
• manicure napkins;
• disposable stencils;
• a thin brush for painting;
• drying lamp.

If you plan any design, in addition to other accessories, prepare elements of decor. As for a smile, it is better to use gel paint based on acrylic, diluted with a top or base. To give the background a special effect, you can prepare a pearly rub. Beautifully decorate accents can be tape-type transfer foil. In addition, if there are application type sliders at home, you can use them.

To smile you have to use a brush or stencils. The second elements can have a different shape (straight, angle, zigzag, circle, wave, heart-shaped).

After everything is prepared, you can proceed to the execution of the jacket. The work will consist of several stages: hygienic manicure, preparing nails for staining, creating a background, making a smile, designing and sealing all layers. Let us consider in more detail each stage of the work.

This step is the basis of the foundation for any manicure, because well-groomed hands themselves attract the attention of others. If the nail processing is not performed properly, then no coating will stretch the untidy hands, and hence the untidiness of the entire set. To begin with, the hands are washed or treated with an antiseptic. However, this treatment has an important feature: regardless of the brand of manufacturer, antiseptic has a moisturizing effect.

This means that if it gets on the nails, and even in large quantities, the adhesion of the plates with the layers of varnish products applied to them may decrease. Using an antiseptic to a minimum, proceed to the treatment of nails. First, a special cuticle remover is applied to the area around the nail plate. It will further contribute to a more delicate and painless removal of regrowing skin and pterygia.

After the means are treated with the nails, the fingers are lowered into the bath with warm water for about 3-4 minutes. The temperature of the water in the bath should be about 35-40 degrees.After sustaining the allotted time, wipe your hand dry and proceed to remove the cuticle and pterygium. To do this, take the pusher and side with a spatula move aside, and then raise the cuticle.

It is necessary to work with a pusher carefully, it is impossible to press it in order not to injure the skin. After the cuticle is pushed back and lifted, it is cut using nakozhnitsy or manicure scissors. When working, the tool should be at one angle in order not to form broken lines, due to which burrs usually appear. Next, it is necessary to take an orange stick and walk it around the nail, scrubbing pterygium.

If at this stage pieces of an under-cut cuticle come out, they are immediately trimmed with tweezers or scissors. This treatment is performed on each nail, after which you need to rub into the skin a little emollient oil. This will reassure her, as well as prevent irritation if some movements still turned out to be harsh and traumatic.

Now you need to do the grinding, the gloss will have to be removed to improve the tenacity. To do this, use the buff and literally two or three movements in one place delicately remove the gloss. Then the sawdust is removed with a brush, and after that the nails are completely treated with a dehydrator (degreaser). At this stage, you can begin to create the background, and then smiles. Note step by step the creation of the basis of the French.

• Take the base, put it in a thin layer on the surface of the entire nail, then dried in the lamp.
• A pigmented background color gel polish is applied over the base. It is also dried.
• Take a thin brush and paint it on the edge at the base of the nail bed.
• The main background paint paint over the surface of the nail, and dry the coating in the lamp.
• Next, create a smile, drawing it with a brush, or using a stencil. When working with a stencil it is applied, retreating from the edge of the nail, slightly pressed so that the varnish does not flow under the pattern and paint over a smile. Immediately remove the template.
• The coating is dried in the lamp, and then sealed with a layer of top. It is also dried.
• 30 seconds after drying the top, it removes residual stickiness.

Today, the design of the jacket can be the most diverse, it is unlimited in the flight of creative thought. The classic version may not have a decor at all, which is good for a business lady set. In this case, it is enough to decorate the nails with a powdery color, or to give them an extraordinary effect with a light veil with the effect of matting or pearls.

For those whose soul asks for bold and bright experiments, you can look at using fimo. Of course, such a design may seem somewhat inconvenient, but juicy fruits, cut into thin layers of special sticks, will look very impressive on the nails. In addition, juicy fruits - one of the current topics of modern design. The only thing - they need to decorate not all the nails of the hands, but only accents.

Beautifully decorate French island or translated foil. For it you need to use a special glue. With the help of this decor, you can even create a French gradient, which today is considered one of the trends of nail art. By the way, this material can be used for background accents, and for a smile. The foil in the return jacket, made with a velvety matte varnish, looks super expensive and status.

Fashionable game of contrasts textures. For example, a french can be created in one color, but with a different type of material: a glossy smile can be drawn on a matte background. Without an extra cry, such a design will speak about the sense of delicate taste of its owner.

One of the trends of the French is the creation of a smile through dots. At the same time, the peas that they draw can be of different sizes and colors.Dots allows you to add fresh notes to the design, such a manicure looks special.

Even professionals have different nuances during their work. What can we say about the design at home, where there is often no apparatus or the best types of coatings. That is why it is worth taking note of several useful recommendations.

• Peel off the coating may due to insufficient drying, so you can not reduce its duration. You need to dry each applied layer.
• A file for work should not be ground or shiny. This is also the reason for the fragility and detachment of the coating.
• You can not tinker at work, but because each time, applying a new layer, you need to walk on the end of the nail.
• Covering with a sticker of water or another type dries longer, because under the design of the base (top or ultrabond) dry longer.

• It is easier to remove the varnish that has fallen on the skin around the nail, using a pusher blade. In this case, the coating should be removed gently, so as not to injure the skin.
• The reason for the flow of varnish is not enough clean scrubbing pterygia. Before drying, it is removed with a rubber hoof, after drying with a mill only, then the coating is trimmed with a thin brush.
• Stencils are used only once if some of the varnish is stripped from the background when they are removed, the line is let down with a thin brush.
• Chipping off the coating and from the constant steaming hands. It is necessary to use gloves when using household chemicals on the first day after applying the varnish.

Regardless of whether on natural nails or artificial, design is performed on a layer of pigment, if it exists. It is better to dilute the gel with top; when using paints, you can mix them together. It is also possible to paint with a beveled brush, using the technique of a single stroke with the formation of several shades at once, for example, a flower or a leaf.

The french of the new season can be different, which is proved by the examples of professionals:

• ideal for publication;

• juicy solution for the summer in the fruit theme;

• option for connoisseurs combination of pigment with gold;

• great option for office and office business style;

• laconic, but rather spectacular version in red and black contrast with subtle stripe smiles;

• French ombra in pale pink color with the effect of temperature varnish;

• French in lilac-black contrast is one of the trendy colors;

• spectacular and bright solution in the spirit of minimalism;

• french design in neutral colors with lace design;

• white jacket for a wedding with a minimalist decor.
