White jacket never gets old in nail design. It is found in many women in the office, accompanies the bride on the most important day of life, it is indispensable for special occasions. Often they make this design when they go on vacation. Nails with it look perfect: well-groomed and neat.
Fashion influences the thickness of the white stripe. She also dictates the length of the nail bed - pink varnish in French manicure. It used to be considered good form to make a transparent pink haze and apply a white stripe to the natural free edge of the nail. Nowadays, the nail bed is often lengthened with camouflage gel polish, and the shape of the white tip is no longer just a strip.
This is a corner, and a wavy edge, and a gradient, and lace … But as before, for all designs, the name “french” remains, it only gets an addition: french with gel polish, french with pearl powder. What kind of white jacket with design does 2018 offer?
What nail stylists offer
This year, French manicure as a whole is approaching the classic version. The trend of modernity - placement of accentsand the use of modern tools in design.
- The classic white jacket is decorated with accent nail art - on the ring nail, completely white, a drawing is made on its entire surface. You can focus on two fingers. This is suitable for a wedding manicure.
- Decoration with rhinestones of different sizes and colors, standing in a solid line. Stylists suggest decorating the middle finger with rhinestones in the hole area, and drawing a rose on the ring finger.
- Stylish fan jacket. This is a pastel base in different tones and a white tip.
- Full-slider French. The sticker occupies the entire nail, and this opens up endless possibilities for design. But in order for such a bright accent to be combined with a French manicure, only one nail is filled with a slider.
- Minimalism. Small white stripes on a nude background. Emphasis - a highlighted hole on a white background, underlined by a strict bow.
- Lace. It can be a patterned white tip or the entire nail plate covered with lace. Lace is smooth, voluminous, velvet, matte and glossy. It is performed using the techniques of stamping or volumetric monograms.
Fan French
This year, French manicure welcomes pastel color. Only this is not a smile, but the nail bed itself. At the tip of the nail is a white jacket. In the photo of 2018, it is proposed to add another fashionable nuance - pearl powder. From her gray tone takes on a magical glow, as it begins to reflect light in a delicate pastel range.
The bluish smoky tone for the fan jacket has really become a godsend. This color is greatcombined with cold pastel pink tones, therefore, in the proposals of stylists - compositions of these colors for the execution of the nail bed. In all variants, the white tip is preserved, but the base itself is different for it: two nails are gray, three are pink. The zone of the hole is distinguished not in white, but in a companion tone: pink is placed on two gray fingers.
To turn this manicure into a festive one, blue, pink, white rhinestones and silver broths are used in the design. They are put on pink nails, and gray ones are made matte.
Manicure design accents
Highlighting one or two fingers with a catchy design is called an accent. The name comes from the impression that a manicure makes. Attention is drawn to the nail, filled with design more than the rest. French options this year actively use this method. Accents can be set with rhinestones, painting, color, texture, the shape of a smile or hole.
Often, on such a nail, the white tip is not drawn at all, making the entire nail white and using it for design. You can leave a natural hole on it. The holes are no longer highlighted in white - it's boring. In 2018, they are filled with rhinestones, and they can be of different sizes and shapes, of different colors, but in harmony with the main range of manicure.
Cheerful white fan french
This design can be fun to play around with accents on the ring fingers. The addition of another pastel color transforms the manicure from strict to cheerful. So, you can wear it in the summer - pastel colors perfectly set off tanned skin, andwhite tip for a clean feeling.
If you look at the photo, the white jacket on the nails also changes shape on the accent fingers: it is made in a corner. Although this tip is larger, it still looks harmonious - the rest of the tones repeat the smile line on this finger. A very important detail: emphasizing the hole with a thin dividing white line. Without it, the design will not look neat. Pastel colors are always separated from each other so that there is no visual effect of mixing colors.
Full Slider French
These are stickers for the whole nail. Usually they are glued to the ring finger, like accent nail art. But you can use a large sticker for two adjacent nails. For example, middle and nameless. It is glued so that when the fingers are closed, a picture is obtained. In sets there are always images larger for the thumb. The sticker is cut into two equal parts and placed on adjacent fingers. You can complement this manicure with a white jacket.
French manicure goes well with bright sliders depicting poppies, roses, colorful paintings. These are large drawings with small details, so it is better to implement such ideas in a slider design.
Black and white French
The combination of black and white is very much in demand in 2018. The couturier's experiments with black dresses for the bride let this classic neutral color into the wedding manicure. Black cashmere in the groom's tuxedo, black patent pumps and clutches for the ladies, a voluminous bride's dress and a stylish black and white manicure. itreminiscent of the gathering of the English beau monde at the races.
If black polish existed at the time My Fair Lady was filmed with Audrey Hepburn, a chess manicure would be perfect. In the photo - a white jacket and stylish black drawings. Very feminine, but with character. Such a design can be done using stamping or sliders, but you can also draw abstract drawings with dots.
Office jacket
When there is a strict dress code at work, only French manicures are allowed. Moreover, modern options with a colored tip are unacceptable. What to do? Is it really possible to wear the same design for years, changing to a bright color only on vacation? In no case! For this, designers work, creating options for an office jacket.
First of all, the white tip itself can be of an original shape: a corner, a carved line, the usual semicircular, but with an unpainted heart on a white background. You can give it a velvet or velor texture, even just a matte tone, on which to make shiny patterns.
Wedding jacket
For a formal event, especially for a wedding, modest office designs are not suitable. It is expected that the manicure will be festive - one that is not used for every day. If a jacket is chosen as the main pattern, then they decorate the nails with rhinestones and make accents on four fingers - usually the middle and ring fingers on each hand, but you can deviate a little from the rule: make accents on the middle and ring fingers on one hand, and on the middle on the other and index.
This is especially true for the bride who shows off the ring: nail design should not overshadow the symbol of marital fidelity. A lot of photos are taken at the wedding, and not only the bride's nails get into the frame. Looking at the photo from the celebration, it will be a shame to hear comments that someone has a sloppy manicure.
Guests can also use a white French nail design (photo examples in the article). This is a hand painting that may use floral motifs.
Rhinestones and french
Maximum style this year in a combination of fan jacket with rhinestones. The advantage of this choice is the ability to choose the shade of the background for clothes, than to combine the entire ensemble into a single image. Rhinestones cover one of the nails, leaving a highlighted hole. Now it is fashionable to leave the natural nail open in small details. If the color of the nail plate allows, you can use this technique. If you do not like the natural color, camouflage is used.
The rhinestones for this design are the same color and size. Both medium Swarovski crystals and ordinary glass ones will do. It is not they who draw attention to themselves, but their combination in a continuous application on one accent nail. Of course, the nails should be adjacent.
The holes of both are identical, they are highlighted only on the accent fingers by the background of the companion. On a white background, you should not bring the rhinestones to the end of the nail, even if they are short. The left white tip creates airiness and lightness in the design. The bed of the rest of the nails is elongated in a camouflage tone, and the smile itselfsmall.
Minimalism is beautiful
Tall white smiles are a thing of the past. Now it is fashionable to increase not the free edge of the nail, but the pink bed. This gives the nails a he althy and harmonious look. The white stripe may be narrow, not attracting attention. But such nails would look boring without a trendy accent. The ring nail is made in the style of a moon manicure, but this time the classic colors are reversed: the bed is white, the hole is pink. Holes can be emphasized with rhinestones, laid out in the form of a bow, or a men's bow tie.
White jacket with a pattern, the photo of which is shown here, is suitable for any dress code. But if you are not strict, then you can simply draw a black bow and make it velvet.
Classic lace - quick and easy
Lace goes well with pink and white. They ennoble and create an airy image. Drawn or glued lace is included in many manicure designs.
White french nails are one of those options. How to make lace with varnishes using stamping simply and quickly? This is shown in the video.
Despite the fact that it uses a lacquer technique, stamping is also done on gel polish. To do this, remove the dispersion layer, print the stamping and cover the work with top gel.
The paint used in stamping dries very quickly. Therefore, you need to act with clear, confident movements. If the desired color is not available, you can use nail polish. True, herequires even more careful application. Since varnish is not paint, it takes a little longer to dry.
Royal French
To feel like a queen, you need to make a royal jacket. In fact, the style of roy alty is subject to other rules, they cannot wear long nails and bright varnish. This is a trendy crown manicure that all women like. This option is especially suitable for graduates, prom queens, as well as their mothers.
There are many components to making a crown. They produce sliders, voluminous stickers and rubber nail decorations. There are also metal crowns that are used in aquarium design. But the most elegant way would be to have the design done by a craftsman.
The photo shows a design reminiscent of the crown of the Russian Empire. It is made with small rhinestones and silver broths. Rhinestones are placed over white gel polish with glue, and then everything is carefully filled with top gel to close the glue. If this is not done, white spots from the glue will appear and ruin the whole work.
There is another way: a top line is applied to the finished gel polish, bouillons are placed and polymerized. It is better to carry out the design by gradually polymerizing the lines of the broths. This will make it more accurate. In addition, there are very thick tops for such occasions that can hold the round shape. The broth is slightly recessed into such material - this is an innovation of 2018.
How to make a white French nail design at home
On sale there are sets of varnishes forperforming a French manicure. But many were disappointed in them after the purchase: the pink haze does not lay down perfectly evenly and does not dry well. The white stripe does not turn out even, even if you use stencils. White varnish does not stain the first time, the line is obtained with stains. To forget about these problems forever, there is a video showing how to make the perfect french polish.
Secrets of this method:

- The brush is held perpendicular to the smile line.
- Corners are drawn out with a brush during correction.

In order not to harm the nails, it is better not to use nail polish remover when adjusting with a brush in lacquer technology. Lacquer curls up from it, there may be ugly white crumbs around the edges of the smile. It is better to use nail polish thinner.
When correcting, the base layer is removed, so the master does not apply it in the video. But it is allowed to apply it to prepare for the implementation of a smile. After it dries, you can apply the mist on the entire nail, directly on the white varnish. Then it will become a little creamy, and the nail bed will acquire a beautiful he althy color. Try to make a white jacket, and photos and videos will help with this.
