French manicure has long been a classic of nail art. He is preferred by both brides and business women. But everything is changing and an unusual jacket has come into fashion - multi-colored, with patterns, using rhinestones and other decorative elements. You will learn more about its varieties later in the article, and photos of interesting manicures will demonstrate their beauty.
Easy change
To make an unusual jacket, you just need to abandon the usual shades - flesh or pink in combination with white.
Even catchy, saturated colors on the “smile” line, together with a neutral base of the nail, can look interesting, but at the same time be appropriate in everyday life. If you complement them with appropriate accents in make-up and clothes, then the image will not be boring, but not too colorful.
And fans of bright colors can no longer suffer with the choice of the most beautiful color for manicure. To make an unusual jacket, you just need to paint over the entire nail with varnishneutral beige shade, and paint the tips of the nails as you wish.
Bright, pastel or neon - all colors are good. Their variegation will be balanced by a calm beige base.
If you have basic nail art skills, then decorate the smile line with white polka dots, which is easily done with a special manicure tool with a round ball on the tip. With a very thin brush, draw the line between different colors of glitter polish to complement this unusual jacket. A photo of what you should get is presented below.
Special finger
It is very easy to spice up even a simple manicure if one or two nails are painted differently from the rest.
The simplest, but very effective solution is to turn the jacket over on two fingers. It looks like below.
Another simple option is to paint one nail with the color that the “smile” line is painted with. Large glitter nail polish adds a special touch to this nail art.
On the eve of the winter holidays, you can give preference to varnishes of bright, saturated colors. Large sequins and snowflakes will only emphasize the seasonal mood.
Fashion effect
The combination of regular nail polish and metallic nail polish looks catchy. For example, a glossy burgundy color is interestingharmonizes with silver.
Golden tips turn a simple manicure into a stylish and sophisticated one. They will look equally good with bright juicy colors and neutral ones.
The combination of metallic and pearlescent or matte polish is an easy way to create a fashionable unusual jacket on your nails. A photo of one of the options for this manicure is presented below.
Popular Gradient
Smooth color transitions have become fashionable in everything - from clothing and interior design, to makeup and nail art. A standard French manicure suggests clear lines, but an unusual jacket may deviate from this rule. Slightly blurred contrasting nail tip and smooth blending of two different shades looks gentle and original.
But the gradient can be done not only within one nail, but also on all fingers at once. Below is an example of what this might look like.
This one is a bit tricky as the area of the gradient is smaller and needs to be very neat.
Elegant clarity
If you still prefer the severity of the lines, then there are several options for how to diversify the jacket.
For example, you can make a "smile" strictly rectangular, and between two contrasting colors of varnish make a thin strip of the third color.
Or even “turn over” the manicure. For example, place a "smile" line at the base of the nail and on the side.
For real craftswomen
To make an unusual jacket on nails with a pattern, you need to have good nail art skills or go to a beauty salon. But the result is worth the effort.
Let's start from simple to complex. For example, these manicures look very neat, but at the same time flirty and playful.
And it's not that difficult to make them, because bows are ready-made nail stickers. Of course, you need to practice applying them, but after you learn this technique, doing a patterned manicure will be very simple.
White butterflies are made in the same way against the background of a jacket with red tips. Stickers can be replaced with a stamping plate.
Delicate floral patterns are great companions for a French manicure. It can be either individual flowers along the edges of the nail plate, or small roses that form a “smile” line.
You can limit yourself to one large complex pattern on the ring finger. And small subtle patterns on the rest of the nails will complete this unusual jacket. Photo (this manicure also fits perfectly on short nails) you can see below.
On short nails it can be difficult to find a pattern that would be harmoniouslooked at a small area. But still there are many interesting options for such a situation. For example, in this manicure, the “smile” line is formed by thin multi-colored lines that look quite bright, but do not create the impression of conciseness and congestion.
Small rhinestones just complete this beautiful abstract pattern.
The following example, although it seems simple, requires very careful and fine work.
You need to try to get a blurry floral pattern, and not just a chaotic pile of color spots. But if you do everything right, you get a very gentle unusual jacket with a slight echo of the lavender fields and gardens of Provence.
