Double jacket on the nails - one of the most popular types of popular French manicure. Due to its versatility, elegance and simplicity of execution, it has become popular for many fashionistas and is appreciated by salon craftsmen. The variety of variants of such design gives ample opportunities, after all it is actual both for a holiday, and in everyday life.
Double jacket - what is it?
This technique is based on the classic French manicure, a characteristic feature of which is the base of a beige or pink color, as well as a snow-white "smile" - an overgrown edge of the nail plate.
The shape of the nail in this case can be round or square, and the length is usually medium or short. However, not all have long aristocratic fingers, so short nails with a French of nude shades visually look wider, which is why the hand loses in elegance. But a colored double jacket in the form of a diagonal or longitudinal strip pattern will help to make the plates not only visually narrower, but also original.
In fact, a fashionable double manicure is performed using three colors, while it is more unusual and more complicated than the traditional one. In particular, the “smile” line is covered in two colors. One of the tones is considered the main, the second band runs along the edge of the nail and can be of any width. Already, this option requires a sufficient length, moreover, it is quite difficult to make it on short edges.
Fashionable jacket can be performed in a purely classical style, when the bed is covered with a transparent gel polish, and the edge - white. Then the only difference will be a strip of a different color, drawn along the “smile”.
But you can use extravagant combinations of bright colors and shades - white with red, black, silver or gold.
For a festive look, glitter, voluminous stickers, drawings in the form of flowers, geometric shapes, monograms and hieroglyphs are suitable.
Design
On long nails you can do double French manicure using natural neutral tones. For a short jacket, it is better to choose shades of one tone or, at least, the matching colors - pink and red, blue and blue, brown and beige. In most cases, a double strip is performed only on regrown tips, but the border can also extend at the base of the bed.
The best ideas for doing a double smile frenchout include some interesting options.
- The best decor is always performed with one white stripe, the other should be harmoniously combined with the main tone.
- Classic manicure - the tip of the nail highlighted with a thin black and white border, the rest of the plate is covered with transparent varnish.
- Taste ladies emphasize french with stripes arranged vertically. The main requirement is clear geometry.
- It is better to place diagonal stripes on one side of the plate, and on the edge they should go over gently and evenly.
- Looks beautiful double "smile" on one or two fingers of both hands (on the middle and ring).
- Beautiful, fairly simple, but elegant option - nails, covered with nude or white varnish with a border of silver or gold. The same jacket on a black background is suitable for an evening dress.
The original type of double manicure is a side jacket, when a smooth bend is performed on one side of the nail on all fingers. The color palette may be different:
- the base is pink or beige, the stripes are black or white, you can additionally decorate the bend with sparkles;
- with pastel base on the border, you can start the openwork pattern;
- on the pink mother-of-pearl a crimson side border is drawn.
The edging can also be decorated with stripes, rhinestones, sparkles, contrasting varnish in the form of dots.
White and dark specks can decorate the entire nail area or its main color.
Performance technique
If the nails are short, then it is better to entrust the procedure to the master, but for a sufficient length, including artificially extended, it is possible to perform a double service jacket on your own.
The procedure is described below.
- First, a hygienic treatment of the nail plate.
- Then a protective gel polish is applied and dried well.
- The lightest of the two selected shades is applied to the edge and dried. If necessary, there is a sense of re-application.
- After that, you need to stick a stencil. If a darker tone is the main one, the strip is glued in such a way as to completely cover the free edge. In the case when a dark lacquer is used to delineate the area near the cuticle, one strip should be near the “smile” line, and the other should be strictly parallel to it, so that there is a distance for them to stain.
- The nail is stained and dried thoroughly.
The use of additional decorative ornaments is allowed - then the top coating is applied on top.
If you want to decorate a jacket with two arms with a pattern, then it is more reasonable to take a natural base, and draw stripes very thinly. On a wide border, you can impose a stencil in the form of lace in a different color. More aesthetic look drawings, elongated along the nail plate.
The main colors that remain in trend are purple, bordeaux, purple, and wine.
