The idea of a jacket: how to find and how to do it?

Classics in the nail art has long been a French manicure. He is loved by almost all ladies, regardless of age. And the idea of a French manicure in the modern world can be anything that goes beyond the classical white tip. Although he still enjoys popularity and is unlikely to go out of fashion. At least not in the next ten years.

Non-standard classics

When the very idea of a French line was conceived, it was indicated that the free edge of the nail was covered exclusively with white lacquer. Well, or gel-varnish, as is customary today. However, this state of affairs did not always suit women. Therefore, the French manicure has become somewhat modified. So there was a non-standard variant, when one finger is allocated from the general picture. For example, using a varnish or gel-varnish with sparkles. It's enough just to completely cut off the nail to them to make a classic French jacket unique and unusual. By the way, color can be anything. Not only varnish with sparkles, it is appropriate to use it.

Monochrome combination

Such ideas of a jacket (photo above) are in demand, as a rule, for young ladies. They want to stand out from the crowd at least manicure. To execute the design, it will take only three varnishes (white, black, transparent), a thin brush and dots (brush with a metal ball at the end). First, the nails are covered with a base. Well, or a clear varnish. When it dries, a free edge is drawn. Black and white colors can be alternated through each finger (black-white-black-white-black), or it can be in any other order. To make the smile line look natural, draw it with a thin brush. Dots put points, which are then "painted" on the free edge. This idea of a French manicure is simple in execution. When the varnish dries, it is covered with a transparent layer for fixing. On accrued nails, this design is done at least as often as on natural ones.

Fussy French manicure

When the free edge is covered with colored lacquers, the idea of a French manicure ceases to be classical. The masters called it a "fan", or a fan-jacket. Only colored varnishes and strip stripes are required to perform. In principle, you can do without the latter, but it only turns out to be more spectacular. The free edge is covered by colored varnishes, each of which must dry out. Draw an ideal line of a smile is not necessary, all the shortcomings will be hidden with the help of a stripe tape. By the way, it can be used as one-color, and multi-colored. For example, in the tone of the free edge. Ideas for the design of a jacket can be here any. When the varnish dries out on the tip, the tape is glued along the contour. Surplus is removed with scissors or clippers. And then the design is fixed with a transparent varnish to prolong the life of the manicure. Stripe tape, by the way, will keep from this only stronger, and around the edges will not stick out for a long time.

Color version with ribbons

The ideas of French manicure do not know the boundaries. So, it became fashionable to make completely colored French nail art, where the free edge is covered with a single shade of lacquer, and the nail bed - with another. In the photo above it is perfectly visible. To make a design quickly and neatly, you need to follow simple rules. First, the entire nail is covered with the base color. And only when it dries, draw an even line separating the free edge from the nail bed. The tip is carefully painted in white. Well, or any other. To hide design flaws, a strip tape is attached to the contour. If it is not, then you can dot the points that will separate the bed from the tip. This design looks very stylish and interesting. And most importantly, to make it very, very simple. It is important only to wait for the complete drying of one varnish before applying another, otherwise they will just smudge from the slightest touch.

Elegant pattern with rhinestones

Ideas for the design of the French nails sometimes mean only a small addition to the classic French manicure with some elements. For example, an elegant bow with rhinestones, as in the photo above. This design does not attract excessive attention, but it looks very impressive. To execute it, you will need:

• White varnish;
• Black lacquer;
• Thin brush;
• clear nail polish;
• Adhesive for rhinestones;
• Rhinestone.

First, a standard classic jacket is made. When the smile line is drawn and dried, a contour at the junction of the free edge and the nail bed is drawn in black with a thin brush. Then, where the center of the bow is, a drop of glue is put. While she is not dried, she is "put" a rhinestone. Better with tweezers. Pressing strongly is not necessary, otherwise there is a risk to shift the rhinestones and damage the contour line. When the glue grabs, a thin brush with black lacquer draws "hearts", playing the role of "ears" bows. If necessary, if the length of the nail bed allows, you can add more tails-ribbons. After complete drying, the design is fixed with a transparent varnish in a thin layer. Exactly the same option is often used on the accrued nails, which also looks spectacular and stylish.

How to choose a design

There is no universal answer. Everyone draws ideas in their own way. One likes a classic French jacket with a small addition, others prefer an unusual design that only remotely resembles a French manicure. Therefore, one should choose each for himself. So, for example, you can draw a pattern on a single fingerprint on a classic design to make it unique and interesting. And many people, by the way, prefer this option to the rest.
