The elegant framing of the nail emphasizes the elegance of the hand and gives a clear completeness to the design. French on nails is one of these types. The variety of photos of new products for 2020, designs and shapes based on French manicure, including white, allows you to use this manicure technique both in everyday life and in preparation for festive events.

White with black. This color combination looks very stylish.

There are many types of such nail art:

• Chess board;
• black tip with white peas, or vice versa;
• piano keys;
• flowers;
• abstract drawings;
• use of stones, lace, etc.

As an option, in a white and black jacket, the base for the nail is white varnish, and the tip of the nail is covered with black varnish. This manicure looks unique and is a bold, unusual solution.

Here is an example of step-by-step creationI design using a combination of monochrome colors in a French manicure:

1. The entire area of ​​the nail plate is covered with a transparent creamy pink varnish. Wait for it to dry.
2. The tip of the plate is highlighted in white. Wait for it to dry.
3. Using a brush, leave 2 drops of dark varnish on the smile, connect the drops to each other, giving them a heart shape. Repeat this pattern along the entire white edge.
4. Mark the border of the jacket with a silver liner.
5. At the base of the nail, draw a strip of colorless varnish and glue 3 rhinestones in a line: a larger rhinestone is placed in the center.
6. Apply a protective layer.

White with red. This combination looks solemn and elegant, even if the design option is simple - a regular smile line in one of the red shades on a white background, and vice versa. The combination of white and red in New Year's manicure looks colorful in nail art. If you choose the right shade of red, this jacket goes well with any clothing.

Too much white on nails that are elongated in width will make them look even shorter and wider.

The predominance of shades of red, on the contrary, will help to divert attention from the errors and shortcomings of the manicure.

One of the new products of 2020, judging by the photo, was a white French nail polish in pastel colors. The main idea of ​​light nail art is naturalness. Pastel colors are soft, gentle, calm. They look great on short and long nails. A French manicure made using white and pastel colors will help a woman out in a business setting when a bright, flashy manicure is inappropriate.

Back

Reverse French - when the entire nail is covered with one color, and the hole is formed in a different shade.

Detailed instructions on how to perform such a jacket yourself:

1. You should take a hot bath for your hands, then you need to remove the cuticles and shape your nails.
2. Then spread the base under the varnish and let it dry.
3. Attach a special stencil or French stickers to the nails. They should be glued so that there is a crescent-shaped distance between the edge of the nail plate and the sticker.
4. The nail is covered with the selected shade of varnish. Wait for it to dry completely.
5. Then peel off the sticker and carefully paint the remaining unpainted part of the nail with a different color. Allow to dry.
6. Fix the result with colorless varnish.

When creating a reverse French, you can choose different designs. For example, to highlight a hole not with a crescent, but in the form of a triangle, you can draw several crescents on the surface - at the bottom of the nail and in the middle of the nail plate.

A reverse French manicure visually makes nails shorter, so it is best done on long nails. Pearlescent and matte varnishes are not recommended.

Lunar

Moonlight French is a design in which white polish is applied at the base of the nail. The moon jacket visually lengthens the nail plate, makes the fingers thinner, so a woman’s hand looks more graceful.

Moonlight French on nails looks elegant and expensive.

Application principles:

1. For coating, two varnishes of different colors are used - white and any other.
2. The base of the manicure is white, and the hole of the nail plate is highlighted with a contrasting shade, or vice versa, the nail is covered with a bright contrasting base, and the hole is made white.
3. To highlight the boundaries of the holes, use a thin brush or stencil for a French manicure.

One of the variants of the lunar jacket is a technique called “negative space”. The design principle is to apply colored nail polish to only part of the nail. The other part remains natural color and is coated with colorless varnish.

Side

New French manicures for 2020 include a side French manicure, photos of which show that it is not necessary to use only white on the nails.

The essence of this type of manicure is to apply stripes on the sides of the nail plate or draw a smile on the side of the nail. To get even strips, you can use adhesive tape.

For example, you can make this design - paint your nails with scarlet varnish, and then draw even stripes on the sides.

For short nails

Manicure on short nails looks natural, it is practical and comfortable. French on short nails looks advantageous because... Gives nails a noble appearance and visually lengthens them.

In a French style on short nails, the smile line is especially important. It should be no wider than 3 mm, otherwise such a jacket will have an awkward appearance (a line that is too wide will visually shorten a short nail).

With ombre effect

The ombre effect is a smooth gradual transition from one polish tone to another, suitable for nails of any length.

Ombre options:

1. Transition from a dark polish to a light shade on each nail, such as pink to dark red.
2. The transition of one varnish color to another is contrasting, for example, from yellow to lilac.
3. Moving shades from one nail to another. You can use similar shades of the same color or contrasting colors.

Unlike a regular French manicure, a French manicure with ombre has a smooth color border that is almost invisible. The application technique also differs - with a sponge or sponge using patting movements.

Kamifubuki

Kamifubuki is a decor consisting of thin metal plates of various sizes and colors. They are usually in the form of circles of three similar colors and three sizes, but can be in the shape of stars, diamonds, ovals, hearts, etc.

Kamifubuki will help make an ordinary jacket festive. They look impressive and elegant.

Kamifubuki on a French jacket can be:

• fasten randomly or orderly;
• apply side by side, at a distance from each other, put large ones on small ones, or vice versa;
• create a “gradient” - there is a lot of confetti on one edge of the nail, and almost none on the other.

Broken glass

Broken glass is a nail art that resembles shards of glass. This design is suitable for summer nail designs because... it shimmers beautifully under the rays of the sun.

French options with broken glass:

1. Glass manicure on two or one nail, and on the rest a regular French manicure.
2. “Splinters” on the smile line expand it.
3. A combination of the two previous options - on some nails a traditional smile is made, and on the rest they are laid out with “scraps” of foil or cellophane.

An important feature of broken glass is that there is no need to use a stencil and repeat the pattern.

Gel polish

A French coat made with gel polish has a long wear time – 3-4 weeks.

Materials required to create a French gel polish:

1. Degreaser for the nail plate.
2. Base coat for gel polish.
3. Gel polish is white and transparent.
4. Fixing gel coating finishing agent.
5. A product that removes the sticky layer.
6. LED lamp for drying gel polish.
7. Flat wide brush.

Before using gel polish, it is necessary to treat your nails - remove the cuticle, shape the nails, polish the nails. Without treatment, the gel will lie unevenly and begin to peel off.

A French coat made with gel polish will please the eye for at least 3 weeks.

Gel polish coating technology step by step:

1. Apply a primer (to degrease the nail plate). It immediately evaporates, collecting droplets of moisture and fat.
2. Spread the base in a thin layer and dry for 30 s in a lamp.
3. Apply the first layer of transparent gel and dry in a lamp. A smile is painted on the edge of the nail with white gel polish (with a wide brush). Sent to dry in a lamp.
4. Fix everything with finishing agent. It is better to apply it in 2 thin layers (each needs to be dried in a lamp).
5. Remove the sticky layer.

Matte

Matte French can be done in 2 versions: matte with a shiny tip, or vice versa.

Execution instructions:

1. Cover the nail plate with a base. Wait until it dries.
2. Apply the matte effect varnish with a brush and let it dry.
3. Using a stencil, separate the edge along the smile line, cover it with colorless varnish, or even better, with a top coat (this way the manicure will last longer).
4. Allow the coating to dry a little, remove the stencil with a sharp movement, and dry it.

A matte French look will look good if you choose varnishes of dark and rich colors to create it.

Fashionable wedding

French on nails (photo 2020 - new items - white manicure is widely represented) in a wedding version will emphasize the solemnity of the moment, in contrast to the classic French manicure. It can be varied with images similar to the patterns on the dress. If the dress is without patterns or embroidery, then you can make it abstract.

A design with shiny tints will go perfectly with rhinestones on a corset or in a bride's hairstyle. You can decorate the border between the base shade and the smile with stones. A wedding manicure looks better on long nails; it is recommended to extend short ones.

Fashion drawings

When making a French nail art (new 2020 photo), a white background is combined with a wide variety of designs. An important rule is the harmony of the chosen pattern with the basis of the French manicure. Simple designs can be applied to each nail. Large, complex designs should only be drawn on the middle or ring fingers.

With rhinestone decor

For a design with rhinestones, it is necessary that the nails are slightly longer than usual, otherwise this option will look provocative.

Methods for fixing rhinestones:

1. Easy method. Rhinestones will last no more than 2 days. The finished design is covered with colorless transparent varnish on top and rhinestones are immediately applied. To fix it, apply varnish again.
2. Rhinestones are attached to nail glue. Take just a little glue. Until the glue dries, it is necessary to fix the rhinestones with tweezers to prevent slipping. The disadvantage of this method is that it takes a lot of time.
3. A reliable method is using gel polish. First, a layer of gel polish is applied, and then rhinestones are applied on top. Allow to dry (use a UV lamp). Apply another even layer of gel polish to the area around the rhinestones.

A French jacket with rhinestones eliminates the need to use bright accessories that burden the perception of the image. Massive rings and bracelets will be superfluous.

Fan French

Fan French - decorating the tip of the nail with a variety of design elements. It is done using paints or acrylics. A variety of materials are used for design: dried flowers, foil, feathers, mica, etc. The difference from the French classic manicure is the color scheme.

Note! For this type of French manicure, only the regrown edge of the nail should be decorated; its main part is not decorated.

With gold and silver

Silver and gold can be implemented on the nail in the form of foil, hologram, sand, slides. To get a French manicure with silver sand, you need to do a regular French manicure, apply a layer of transparent varnish and pour a small amount of silver onto the desired part of the nail. Next, the excess sand is blown off, and the nail is covered with a layer of colorless varnish.

French with gold looks richer. But it is important not to overdo it - too much gold glitter looks vulgar. An advantageous color combination is black and gold.

Technique for applying black and gold jacket:

1. Nails are processed. Cover each nail with an even layer of black varnish.
2. Wait until the varnish becomes dense. Glue the stickers for the jacket.
3. Apply golden varnish to the edge of the plate.

Plain

French on nails (new 2020 photo) can also be white and monochromatic. If the jacket is monochromatic, then different textures are used in the design: matte and glossy.

Examples of texture combinations:

1. Glossy base + matte edge.
2. Sparkling tip + matte base.
3. Velvet base + pearl tip.

Millennium

French millennium - closer to the edge the nail is laid out with sparkles, micro-dust, shiny varnishes. In this case, the nail plate should be a natural shade.

Glitter (the more, the better) and microdust should be dense so that the edge of the nail does not show through. For fixing, a transparent colorless varnish is used.

Twist

Twist French - the tips of the nail are covered with several lines of different colors. The stripes can be located in any direction: diagonally, vertically, horizontally.

There are no restrictions on the colors of the free edge of the nail, but the rest of the nail plate should be a natural shade.

Steel

Methods for creating a steel jacket:

1. The edge is varnished in a metallic shade(in 2 layers). After drying, it is necessary to cover it with another colorless varnish (to fix the coloring).
2. A thermal film is used, through which a perfectly flat, smooth surface is created. Templates of the desired shape are cut out of (thermal) film and kept in a lamp for no more than 5 minutes before use. Then carefully apply them to the edge of the nail, pressing lightly, and count down a few seconds. Remove excess with tongs, a file, or remove with a blade. After this, use a paper napkin to smooth the film on the tip of the nail.

Lace

A lace jacket can be made in different ways: by gluing a lace fabric; use artistic painting, stickers (special). The lace is combined with a background of various colors.

When performing a lace jacket on all nails, a smile can be made in the form of a lace ribbon running along the edge of the nail. This smile can be wide - up to a third of the nail. Lace can also be applied to the center or base of the nail.

Geometric

The geometric option involves applying a geometric plot to the jacket. There are many options for this design: contrasting lines on a single-color varnish; dividing the plate into asymmetric or equal sectors; various line trajectories - along, across, diagonally, etc.

One of the ways to create a geometric nail design is to apply shapes on your nails in the form of rhombuses, squares, triangles, etc., cut out of paper tape.

This tape is used to seal the space on the edge of the nail where the selected color will not be applied, and varnish is applied to the remaining space. Classic French manicure has not gone out of fashion for a long time. Confirmation of this is the variety of photos of new French nails for 2020, where white color predominates on the nails.

Every girl wants a flawless manicure for every day that fits any wardrobe. What can you advise in this case? An ideal and universal option is a French manicure. It is a reflection of the best traditions in classic nail design. It remains in demand and relevant for 40 years no matter what. Today the site will tell you about all the options and types of manicure in the French style.

The history of French manicure

This type of manicure is a true classic of femininity. In 1976, all the fashionistas of the world were captivated when they saw a luxurious manicure on the nails of famous Hollywood actresses: a pale pink plate was effectively combined with a white rim, making the hands very feminine. The original idea belonged to the American Jeff Pink, who once heard costume designers and screenwriters complain that for each scene and for each costume, the models had to re-paint their nails so that they would harmonize with the new image. The talented young man had an epiphany: he figured out how to make a universal manicure, and with his help, “French” took root in the world of fashion and cinema for a long time, gradually “migrating” to the general public.

Jeff Pink
Founder and President of ORLY

“I was one of the main suppliers of cosmetics to Hollywood studios: I brought them shampoos, creams, varnishes. One of the producers once complained to me that they were spending too much time changing an actress' nail color to match her outfit. At that very moment, the thought occurred to me that it would be nice to come up with a covering that would fit perfectly with any outfit! I ordered one jar of white varnish from the factory. (You should have seen the face of the manufacturer who accepted my order!) As soon as the bottle was in my hands, I applied a thin strip of white polish to the edge of the nail, secured it with a clear top coat and showed the result to the producer: he was delighted! Soon many actresses began to wear this manicure, and one fine day Barbra Streisand came to the Johnny Carson show with my manicure. It was a total success! And if you think about it, this was the first nail art. Soon the manicure was adopted by designers, and models began to demonstrate it at Paris Fashion Week. This is where the name comes from - French manicure.”

Types of French manicure

Depending on the design features, today there are several varieties of this style:

Classic white jacket

This option is considered the most restrained and modest, but this does not prevent it from remaining the most popular among many representatives of the fair sex. When creating it, the nails are covered with a colorless varnish, or a varnish of a pale pink or flesh-colored beige translucent shade, and the edge is decorated with a simple white color. This design looks impressive both in combination with everyday outfits (jeans, sundresses, trousers or a formal suit for the office), and is suitable for a formal appearance. Looks great on both long and short nails. Now it is important to introduce additional decor. One or two fingers are decorated with rhinestones, designs, stickers or paintings.

Color

Unlike a classic French manicure, a colored manicure can feature a variety of colors and shades, depending on the preferences and tastes of the owner. There are no strict rules in the design of the plate and edge; it is possible to use bright, restrained, acidic, and metallic tones. Red, pink, and black colors are often used for the smile line. The turquoise color scheme is at the peak of popularity.

Decorative jacket with design

This type of nail care can be called a real work of manicure art. For decorative purposes, various designs, monograms and prints can be applied to the plates. It is possible to use luxurious stucco molding, beads and even lace compositions. Popular various rubbings, crystal chips, velvet and rhinestones. At the same time, color, theme and technique can be completely different, each time impressing with its exclusivity and individuality.

Matte

In French manicure, a combination of gloss and matte finish is allowed, which looks very aesthetically pleasing and original. As a rule, the tip of the nail is covered with matte varnish, while the plate itself is decorated in the traditional glossy version. Also, in the last couple of years, a completely matte finish has become popular. It gives the manicure softness and velvety.

A hot trend is the “reverse” French manicure, when the “smile” is located not at the tip of the nail, but at its base. In this case, it is recommended to paint the plate itself in dark, rich colors, most often black. “Crescent” can have any shade (contrasting light, silver, white colors are desirable). This manicure is also called lunar or Hollywood.

Smile shape design

The colorful tip of the nail, which is a real “highlight”, is usually called a “smile” or “crescent”. Traditionally, the “smile” runs parallel to the tip of the nail, however, for those who want to add more chic to the image, experts recommend other, non-standard forms of the “smile.” The line can be wavy, beveled, zigzag. Today, the “ombre” option is very popular, when there is no clear “smile”, but there is a very smooth, gradient transition from the color of the plate to the shade of the edge.

F French manicure is a tireless classic. It is he who is considered the favorite nail art of many girls who follow fashion. And this is not at all surprising, because such a design looks elegant and aristocratic on nails of any length. It is perfect for any occasion: be it a party, a social event or a walk with friends.

H To make a traditional French jacket look more impressive, it can be diversified not only in shape, but also in pattern. And if in the fashion tabloids every beauty sees French nails only on oval and triangular nails, then the square shape is also trendy.

ABOUT However, a stylish white jacket cannot always be just this color. If you are creative, the edges of the nails can be elegantly painted blue, silver or gold. The border of the nail is covered with a colored shade. This accent will add naturalness and expressiveness. However, the base of the nail should remain pink or soft beige. What materials do you need to stock up on to get a luxurious and graceful jacket?

• Cosmetic pencil for nails
• White varnish shade
• The basis
• Colorless varnish shade

H To perform a French manicure according to all the canons, you must first file your nails and then give them the required shape. As for the length, it can be very different, convenient for you. To soften the cuticle, it would not be superfluous to perform a bath. Next, it is recommended to push back the cuticle using a cosmetic stick. Using a white pencil, draw a “smile”. Try to paint the outside space. Next, be sure to cover the nail with a special base and then dry it. You can also apply a special coating to smooth out minor imperfections. The “smile” line must be covered with a white tint. However, this should be done carefully. Make sure the varnish has time to dry. Now coat your nails with clear varnish or a very light shade. You can repeat the manipulations a couple of times to fix the effect. At the final stage, you need to go over your nails with a fixative varnish so that the manicure is long-lasting.

Luxurious jacket with a captivating “print”

E If you decide to slightly dilute your usual jacket, then it is best to complement it with a sophisticated and graceful floral pattern. It can be applied either to the entire plate or half. By applying leaves or a flower of a different shade, you can add freshness to your manicure. Many specialists make this type of print using modeling, and you will really like the result. But when creating such nail art, you should not forget about seasonality. In summer, you can dress your nails in brighter, more sophisticated shades, but in winter, cool metallic ones are suitable.

Geometric designs

E This is a radical solution for French. As a rule, such prints need to be applied only to some fingers. This could be the ring finger or the little finger. This solution looks original and luxurious. Take a closer look at diamonds, original abstractions, and free-form lines.

Rhinestones and sparkles on the jacket

TO As a rule, such decoration is performed on the rim. In addition, exquisite and captivating rhinestones can decorate the entire nail on any one finger. You can also fix them on your little fingers parallel to each other.

Play of shades

IN glamor magazines often feature luxurious duets of white French with a black tint, as well as red and “warmer” colors. Animal patterns also look sophisticated. These may be stripes arranged on a white background. This coloring can visually resemble a zebra. French can also be combined with brighter shades - light green, raspberry, and orange.
