French manicure has been considered an unshakable and immortal classic for many decades. Sooner or later, all women give preference to him, regardless of age, profession and tastes. Recently, the so-called gradient on the nails has come into fashion. And the first type of nail art that has undergone a change is a French manicure. Ombre is a new technique that creates a smooth transition from white to flesh. all this looks incredibly gentle, feminine and original.
Execution technique
In fact, there is no single technique for performing French-ombre manicure. Here, as they say, each master adapts independently, choosing the most suitable tools for himself. In most cases, stretching the color is done with a sponge with small pores. In such cases, the dye consumption is minimal, and the transition from white to flesh is very gentle and smooth. Also often adoptedflat brush. It erases the border between the colors and forms a gradient. Separately, it is worth noting that in rare cases, French manicure in its classic version is done without body polish. The nails are covered with a colorless coating and only their tips are painted over. If, under such conditions, you want to do a French-ombre manicure, then the white will simply reduce to “no” to the base of the nail, dissipate. The result is also very original.
Classic in gradient
French-ombre manicure was originally made on the basis of the classic version. It's just that the masters decided to wash away the clear boundary between the body base and the white tips, and a new work of art came out. The most interesting thing is that in this type of nail art you can play with colors. You can focus on beige (or pink), and a smooth transition to white will be made closer to the tip of the marigold. This technique is most suitable for short nails. The second option is to bet on white, and mark only the base with flesh. This type of French ombre manicure (see photo below) is much more suitable for regrown nails.
Give yourself a holiday
Often, in honor of the holidays, girls prefer to do a French manicure, changing the usual nude polish to a shiny one. As a result, the nails are completely covered with a shimmering pigment, and only their edges stand out, which remain snow-white. French ombre manicure with sparkles is a kind of such nail art, which is also considered a rarity. Nails painted in this way look magical, fabulousand evoke a sense of celebration and celebration. It is important to note that this technique has some features that distinguish it from the standard jacket. Nude polish is applied to the nail as a base, and the glitter completely covers the tip of the nail, disappearing at its root.
Caramel motifs
Caramel shade in nail art is a bold decision. Despite the fact that the color is considered pastel and even light, it emphasizes even the smallest errors in the work of the master, moreover, it makes small wounds, burrs and other defects, if any, more visible. In the shade of caramel, the French ombre manicure is a real "bomb" that will look unique and very original. It is worth remembering that this tone will look most advantageous on long nails. The gradient to brown shades itself is very bright and unique, but if it is also complemented with rhinestones or patterns, then the nail art will be truly chic and luxurious.
For lovers of white
Many girls like to paint their nails white. But this tone requires extreme caution, it is much more capricious than red and black. In order to make such nail art more unique, they just didn’t come up with a moon design, sparkles, rhinestones, drawings. But we offer the most gentle and touching solution to the issue - a white French-ombre manicure. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that the white color extends from the tip of the nail to its root and only slightlydissipates rather than turning into nude or pink. It is noteworthy that such nail art can be performed on one layer of the base coat, without the use of colored varnish. Also, if you are looking for a manicure for short nails, a French ombre in white tones will be one of the best solutions. Visually, it will even lengthen the nail plate and make the fingers slimmer.
Without rubbing anywhere
A radiant pigment that can cover absolutely any color of shellac is called rubbing. A new trend in the beauty industry is to apply it on a French manicure made using the ombre technique. With this approach, it becomes more expressive, bright, and at the same time remains gentle and light. Most often, a pearl rub is applied over a jacket with a gradient. It only slightly shimmers and gives the nails a shade of light mother-of-pearl. An important aspect - the pearl pigment makes the coating lighter, even whitish, and this applies not only to white varnish, but also to nude (or pink). This solution looks especially advantageous on tanned skin. But for the New Year, such a manicure will be an excellent choice.
In a cold palette
Throughout its history, French manicure has undergone many metamorphoses. Initially, the nude color began to vary into pink, brown and other pastel colors. Later, a fundamentally new trend appeared - a black jacket. Resin-colored varnish could cover both the base of the nail and its top. Then the masters thought at all -why limit yourself to monochrome, and began to make a jacket using red, green, pink and blue tones. It was the latter in this technique that turned out to be the most common and in demand. At first, only the “tops” of the marigolds were covered with a blue tone, leaving the base white or beige. But then they decided to "stretch" it and got a french ombre in blue tones. This solution is a godsend for the winter holidays. Manicure looks like it was invented by the snow queen herself. It is noteworthy that the blue color in the stretch looks most advantageous against the background of an unpainted nail, that is, it is applied to the base. This lacquer can be both glossy and contain a shimmer for an even more festive and magical look.
Change places of terms
This type of nail art, of course, can hardly be called a French manicure. However, the technique of its implementation is no different from the French ombre technique, only the colors change. At the root, the nail is filled with a black tint, and at the tips it gradually turns into beige. Only at first glance, such a gradient is very aggressive - in fact, this is one of the most discreet and sophisticated solutions for nails. Firstly, the pastel palette is preserved, and the black tone gives the image only a little rigor. And secondly, this is an ideal solution not only for long, but also for short nails. Visually, they become more elongated and the fingers appear slimmer.
For lovers of luxury and glitter
Rhinestones have long beenhave ceased to be the prerogative of weddings, birthdays and other holidays. Women use them when they paint their nails in dark colors, when they do a moon manicure or French. Often we see a clear bust with this decor element, especially if a la diamonds flaunt on a pink or red background. But a reasonable amount of rhinestones based on a French gradient manicure is what you need to create the look of a real princess. Such nail art is especially relevant for a wedding, for the New Year or for another important celebration. French ombre manicure with rhinestones is best done using the standard colors for this procedure - beige and white. "Diamonds" can be placed on each finger, but little by little, or you can focus a large number of them on the ring finger. If the master competently does his job, then such a miracle will be able to stay on the nails for a long time and in some way prolong your holiday.
Summing up
Ombre is a manicure technique that requires the use of two colors. Therefore, the basis for its implementation was the beloved French manicure for a long time. A smooth transition from beige-pink to snow-white allowed women to create incredibly delicate and elegant nail art. The most important thing is that such a gradient looks both quite good on its own, and in combination with various types of design. It can be rubbing, rhinestones, or even drawings and ornaments. Additionally, we learned that ombre can be performed not only with the help of white and fleshcolors. Any shade of the palette can be involved here, up to caramel and even black. Such nail solutions look trendy and very bold, but remain discreet and sophisticated.
