French manicure appeared long before shellac was invented. But this does not prevent modern masters from doing it with the help of this resistant material. The choice of design while unlimited. Look at the variety of design options, and choose the one that is closer to you.

The main feature of the French manicure is its relevance and versatility. Fashion trends follow each other from season to season. And only this type of manicure is always in the top. It is suitable for special occasions as well as for everyday bows.

With all the necessary tools, it is quite possible to make it at home. This will not take much time, but it will look great.

In the classical version (with a beige base), the line of nail regrowth at the base will not be as noticeable as when covered with bright colors. Shellac for quite a long time kept on the nails, so this aspect becomes very important.

French manicure itself is self-sufficient, but if you want to make it more original, then there are many ways to decorate and complement it. Below is only a part of possible ideas and options, as the final design is completely dependent on your imagination and possibilities.

It can be done in several ways. Gold tips can be painted with an appropriate gel polish or coated with fine glitter. In combination with a neutral base, this option will look quite restrained and interesting.

There are no restrictions on the choice of colors. It all depends on your desire and wardrobe. You can give the manicure brightness using red shades or make it very cheerful using neon colors. The advantage is that even the brightest and most saturated tones will be present on the fingers in small quantities. Manicure will not be defiant.

If you have some favorite combination of shades, then it can be transferred to the fingers. This option is quite acceptable. Especially if one of the shades is repeated in your accessories or clothing. The main advantage of such a manicure is originality.

Beautiful title and no less beautiful result. The peculiarity of this type of jacket is that the smile line is an angle. The width of the strip on the tip of the finger can also vary. This allows you to create a unique design that meets your requirements and ideas. The above area can also be shifted closer to one or the other edge of the nail.

A tempting design that has several embodiments. You can make an oblique line very smooth, or you can draw it in a straight line. Also varies the height and angle of inclination. If you want to create a subtle accent, then draw a thin white strip diagonally. But lovers of bright manicure should choose rich colors and a wider area of ​​paint.

With the invention of a matt finish for shellac, any shade can transform without much effort. The same goes for french. In the absence of the usual glossy shine, it looks more noble and elegant. But it is necessary to take into account that light shades will quickly soil themselves. But to wash it is much more problematic than the usual gloss.

If you have a bright summer mood, then why not reflect it in a manicure? It is not necessary to paint all the nails in flashy shades. Instead of the usual white strip, it will be enough to put a floral pattern, or to draw them in “fruit slices”. This juicy manicure is perfect for a light summer sundress.

French can be supplemented with exquisite patterns that have acquired the name "monogram." Masters are specially trained in this technique of drawing on courses. You can practice at home on plain paper. If you are not confident in your own strength, use stickers or stamping.

What girl does not love these gentle intricacies? Today, they can easily be repeated on their own nails, even without special skills. To do this, just buy the appropriate stickers in a specialty store. When performing French manicure, they can be decorated only the tip or the main length of the nail.

Trend, which appeared not so long ago. Its distinguishing feature is black (or any dark) color. It is when drawing individual elements in these shades that a visual impression is created that there is a real veil on the nail. In order to repeat it at home, draw a black tip, then put black dots along the length of the nail in a checkerboard pattern and connect them with thin lines.

Their diversity and colors are amazing. To perform complex small motifs, you can use stencils, stamps or stickers. But if you have the skills of an artist, then you can turn your little fingers into a real work of art. Today there is a tendency to have bright accents on only one or two nails. So, the manicure does not look alyapisto.

On the one hand, peas can look very strict, if you perform it very large. On the other hand, small circles emphasize playfulness and lightness of character. The color range here is also unlimited. One has only to note that the peas should be either on the colored tip, or on the main length of the nail plate. If you place it there and there, then you can overdo it, then all efforts will come to naught.

It is difficult to name a manicure option to which these bright pebbles would not fit. For more restrained everyday images, it will be enough to make only a small emphasis with their help. But the festive images require greater brightness, so in the manicure on a special occasion, they are present in larger quantities.

As we already wrote above, they can be decorated only tips. With this option, the manicure will look quite restrained and neat. But you can sprinkle them with the entire nail plate. The interesting effect of ombre is obtained if you gradually reduce their number closer to the base. They can also be used as a dividing line on the smile line.

The unusual name hides under a bright shiny circles of small size. These kind of sequins, which are made of pearl or shiny material. When properly positioned on the nail, they create the effect of sun glare. This manicure will be relevant for the holiday, and for everyday life.

What color, size, and how much they will be placed on your nails, depends entirely on the desired result. You can draw (or paste) only one modest bow on the ring finger as an accent. And you can decorate all the nails with them, then the manicure will be more vivid and catchy.

It can be beautiful flowers, patterns, bows, asterisks or other thematic drawings. Make them from acrylic. If you do not have this material in stock, then you can purchase blanks in the store. At the same time, you can repaint them yourself to the desired shade that suits your style, or cover them with gold.

You can add french and holes at the base. In this case, the tips and the wells themselves must be the same color to create a harmonious image.

If you are used to doing a manicure in the salon, then this question should not worry you. An experienced master will not only do everything in the best possible way, but will also advise on what shape, length and design to use. At home, you can also make this elegant manicure. Let's analyze step by step instructions for its implementation.

• Any manicure starts with nail treatment. In most cases, the wizard makes a hardware manicure, but if this is not possible, then you can perform a regular cropped manicure. To do this, you will need a standard set of tools: a stick, a nail file, a pouf, scissors, a cuticle trimmer. Nails should be the same shape and length. Even minor differences in the final result will be visible. Before applying the base nails must be degreased with a special tool.

• Apply colorless basecoat. It will improve the adhesion of the main color lacquer to the surface, protect the nail from pigmentation and hide minor defects. Dry in the lamp.
• Now the full color is applied to the entire length. In the classic version - it is beige or pale pink. You can choose any, at its discretion. Many beginners at this stage make a mistake - they leave the tip unpainted. If you do this, the smile line will be uneven. In addition, the boundary of the two varnishes will stand out strongly.

• Well dried in the lamp. This layer requires a longer drying time, about 3 minutes. Shellac is applied in 2 layers, each of which is dried individually.
• Armed with a thin tassel and white shellac. Gently draw a smile line and paint over the tip. Plus shellac is that if you do not get a flat line, you can erase it and draw again. When using conventional lacquer, this can not be done, because you can completely spoil it. Then you have to start all over again.
• Dry in the lamp. Apply top coating. It will protect the main color and prolong the life of the manicure. Dry again in the lamp.

Matte French manicure looks very elegant, even in the usual classic design. And all that is needed for this is to cover the usual french matte top.

Lace on the nails - the embodiment of tenderness and femininity. There are a lot of options for its location and the weaving itself, so each time the manicure will look individually.

Flower jacket is more suitable for the summer season or relaxing at sea. But if you pick up interesting accessories or prints in clothes, you can easily wear it in the fall, or even in winter.
