Matte classic
Standard French manicure today will not surprise anyone. But if you transform it a little and play with textures, an interesting design can come out. For example, cover your nails with matte varnish, and white smiles with glossy ones. Or vice versa. Such a French manicure on short nails will look very attractive. Perhaps even better than the long ones. How to make it?
You need to start by preparing the nail plate for work. It should be degreased, and then with the help of a buff, a glossy layer is removed from the nails. Now you can apply the base. If desired, it can be changed to camouflage or multilacquer. Now we need to apply color. Here choose at your discretion. You can use any delicate shade of pink, beige or peach. Then you should cover everythingmatte top nails And after that, you can move on to drawing "smiles". The easiest way to make them on a stencil. It is necessary to place the strips so that the free edge of the nail can be painted over. Overlap the fingertips with white varnish in two layers. The last step is to apply a glossy finish to the white smiles.
Select one nail
The variant of such a French manicure today can already be considered trivial. But it doesn't look worse because of it. You can select not one nail, but two. Moreover, it is not necessary that the fingers with drawings on the right and left hands are the same. Let's repeat the French manicure idea above.
Prepare nails according to the standard scheme. We degrease them and cut them down. Now cover with a transparent base. If you are not satisfied with the natural color of the nail, you can apply another layer of pigmented varnish. Now let's move on to smiles. They need to be done on those nails on which there will be no pattern. If you have been doing manicure for a long time, then it will not be a problem for you to draw even stripes with a thin brush. If this process is difficult, use stencils. After that, you can move on to the nails with a pattern. We cover them with white and dry.
Now take the pink polish and draw an oval with it. With burgundy paint, draw a shadow on the bud. It remains to supplement the image with leaves and a stem. We draw them with a thin brush. First, we draw a strip to the cuticle, and then we supplement it with ovals pointed on one side. We cover the design with a finish anddry the nails.

Beige or light peach color is perfect. We dip the dots in pink paint and put three dots on each nail so that they form a triangle. This will be a flower. You can place two or three flowers on one nail, and also line up only half of it. Draw branches with a thin brush and decorate them with leaves. Moreover, they should go diagonally, as if repeating the shape of the nail.

After you have prepared your nails for work, they need to be aligned with the base. Now we apply camouflage and dry the result. We take a thin brush, immerse it in white varnish, and then draw a diagonal strip on the free edge of the nail. Fill the resulting triangle with white. We do the same operation with black varnish. To make the design more interesting, you can draw a thin black strip parallel to the triangle of the same color. Finishing the design.

Now you need to apply another layer of top and glue small broths on it. Dry the manicure again and fix the decor with another layer of finish.

Now cover all the nails with black. If your varnish is liquid, then you should apply varnish in two layers. Overlay the result with a matte finish. Now you need to create glossy stripes.

Lace jacket
If you combine two design ideas, you get interesting solutions. French manicure with a lace pattern is an unusual way to decorate your nails. Of course, it requires painstaking drawing, but the result is worth the effort spent on its creation. How to repeat such a manicure at home? You need to start with the standard preparation of nails.
