The beauty of women's hands largely depends on their grooming. Insufficient skin moisture affects the presence of age-related wrinkles, work with gloves prevents rapid natural wear of the skin of the hands, and keeping manicure and nails clean and in proper aesthetic appearance ennobles women's hands in general.
Today it is fashionable to decorate nails with various designs. The use of gel polish and shellac is gaining momentum in popularity and occupies a leading position in the modern nail industry. It is not surprising that every second current girl uses the services of a nail service master precisely in order to create another mini-masterpiece with an original and attractive nail design on her fingers. And black and white manicure with a jacket is especially popular in this vein. On short square nails, on an elongated almond-shaped nail plate or on a new-fangled “pointe” shape, this luxurious play of colors with elements of a classicdesign always looks interesting, unusual, attractive and very organic.
However, what versions of such a non-standard "Frenchman" are most relevant at the present stage? And what options for black and white manicure with a jacket conquer the current contemporaries with the greatest degree of enthusiasm?
Contrasting manicure
The list of the most popular versions of the design of nails in the style of black and white French manicure today opens with a typical simple model of playing in contrast. What does she suggest? This kind of nail design involves coloring the nail bed along the entire length with a rich black color with further modeling of a snow-white smile at the level of the cut line. This design technique was loved by many due to its simplicity and originality in a single ensemble. Such work can be done by a girl even at home - to create such a manicure, you do not need to have specific artistic skills. That is why so many choose it.
It is important to note that this design can be called universal, since it can easily decorate any shape of nails, from short square to elongated pointed ones. Moreover, you can experiment with textures. For example, such a light nail art is chic in both gloss and matte finish. In turn, this allows you to use it on a special occasion or wear it as a daily discreet manicure. If you want to addthe design of a certain elegance, you can supplement it with a dot interspersed with rhinestones on one or more nails in the zone of delimitation of two contrasting shades. Why dotted? Because the abundance of rhinestones in this case is not particularly appropriate, because it will draw all the attention to itself, and the meaning of this nail design lies precisely in the emphasis on the game of two opposite colors.
French with a belt
To slightly dilute the depth of the rich anthracite color of the base in a black and white French manicure will allow the usual separation of the base shade in its natural original form - a transparent nude gel polish. The emphasis here will be shifted specifically to the smile zone, since it will be made out in the so-called two-color. It is noteworthy that it is a black smile with a barely perceptible, thinnest white edging that delimits the zone of contact between black and natural gel color that looks more aesthetically and harmoniously on the nails of the fair sex. The formation of such a plan of a snow-white rim on black smiles looks quite original and tasteful.
It is worth noting that the color of the smile and the so-called belt can be alternated. These may well be the usual snow-white smiles with a black edging, here the choice already depends on the desires and preferences of the girl herself. A nail design with a black and white jacket in this interpretation is suitable even for those representatives of the fair half, whose capabilities are limited by compliance with a specific dress code - it is quite laid-back and easy toperception.
Corner "Frenchman"
In cases of modeling a jacket on short square nails, the best option may be to model not the usual rounded smile line, but its somewhat non-standard design. This refers to the use of a triangular shaped execution of the inner line of the intersection of the smile with the central main part. For example, such a design of a triangular smile in charcoal black can be diluted with dotted splashes of snow-white paint along an acute-angled inner boundary line. You can create such points using dots or an ordinary toothpick. If desired, the nails of the middle and ring fingers can be supplemented with some unobtrusive soft pattern using the same snow-white color. This, again, will allow you to somewhat dilute the depth of black and give the manicure some softness.
Variable French
You don't need to be particularly smart or creative to guess that you can combine varying shades of black and white in the smile zone on different nails. It means that the nail, for example, of the index finger can be painted with black edging along the cut line, the middle one - white, the ring finger - again black, the little finger - again white, well, or in the opposite version, there is not much difference here. The point is that each individual nail slightly contrasts with the neighboring ones. Why slightly? Because the contrast will be embodied exclusively in the color directionsmiles, not the nail plate as a whole.
Although you can experiment. To diversify such a manicure can be an addition as a decor on the nail of the ring finger. You can paint it completely in one of the two colors mentioned and reflect something like a simple pattern on its surface with the opposite shade. This version of a black and white French manicure with a pattern looks quite extraordinary and elegant.
Diagonal French
An interesting and sophisticated solution for framing nails in the style of a game of contrasting colors is the modeling of a diagonal display of a smile. At the same time, two opposite shades can be unobtrusively separated by a line of silver sparkles. It can be a thin strip of polish with silver glitter or shimmer, or it can be a line of accented metallic. It is noteworthy that this variation of the decoration is most suitable for owners of a pointed nail plate - a diagonal smile looks more expressive on it. A truly beautiful black and white manicure with a jacket in such a decoration model can quite successfully decorate a girl’s nails on the occasion of any celebration or social event. Here it will not be superfluous to observe a single color style in manicure and attire.
Combination of forward and reverse French
It's no secret that the moon manicure has become the favorite of many women in a fairly short period of time. The degree of its actualization in somethe moment even surpassed the standard classic jacket. This, in fact, is not surprising - the luxury, subtlety and sophistication of a manicure made in a similar style sometimes surprises and delights with its unsurpassed appearance.
So is the case with black and white manicure. Strict and seasoned at the same time, elegant and businesslike, the combination of a straight and reverse jacket on one nail plate with the use of contrasting white and black shades fully plays the role of its superiority. Nails painted in a charcoal base are emphasized with particular subtlety by neat lines of a smile and a lunula in the root zone. Here it is very important to maintain precisely the subtlety of accent lines, since this is the whole point of forming a textured, elegant and aristocratic manicure. A thickened smile line will no longer look so harmonious with a snow-white neat hole, so you should still follow the established framework of artistic harmonization in modern manicure nail art.
Overlay white on black
The ideas of black and white manicure are not limited to a separate reflection of black and white separately. An interesting version of the French manicure, in which the smile line is formed not by a solid semicircular stroke, but by two separate strokes with paint of opposite colors. So, it resembles something like a triangular smile, which we already talked about earlier, but here the whole point is that in one smile on one nail, two overlapping strokes findone on top of the other, creating an excellent composition of opposing colors in a single triangular smile. At the same time, additional decoration of such a manicure with some uncomplicated pattern is not without meaning. For example, black and white butterflies on a transparent nude background will look just as expressive as the two-tone triangular smiles themselves. If fantasy allows, you can think of something more aristocratic and noble. For example, you can complete such a manicure with inlaid stones with an imitation rhinestone frame. This design looks very impressive.
Snow White Veil
Many girls are wondering how to make a black and white French manicure so that it impresses with its elegance, solemnity and luxury. Indeed, usually such a color scheme is inherent in various geometric versions, since it looks the most advantageous there. However, there is still a nail framing model that meets the stated requirements in this particular tint category - this is a snow-white openwork smile layout on a blue-black glossy background. Such a manicure looks very expensive, fashionable and representative. It is no wonder that on the occasion of a special celebration, girls often pay attention to this particular version of the design of their nails.
Effective frame
Emerging relatively recently on the arena of the nail space, this design has captivated the public with its sophistication and grace. Akin to a moon french manicure, this versiondesign of marigolds perfectly reflects the beauty and expressiveness of the finest lines of the lunula zone and the lateral parts of the marigold. In deep anthracite on top of a snow-white base, this variation of the decor looks stunning, especially in addition to the openwork monograms on the plates of the ring fingers of both hands.
Chess jacket
Avid fashionistas will never get tired of adherence to classic geometry on nails. The isolation of the natural nude of the base coat is perfectly diluted with a "Frenchman" smile, made in the form of contrasting checkerboard squares. In this case, one or two nails can be decorated with a pattern of figures of the king and queen. This composition looks amazing.
Custom decor
And, finally, the most unusual and thematic versions of the design of the French manicure are represented by models of various artistic orientations. We are talking about the panda youth manicure, the practically childish version of the “lace-up sneakers” design, the simple but no less popular snow-white “Frenchman” with black polka dots, the stylish “white-collar” design. It all depends on the imagination and imagination of the master, as well as on the specific age or professional preferences of the client.
