The art of a beautiful manicure is perhaps the most democratic, because it is available to ladies of any age - from a young teenage girl to a respectable lady of advanced age. And the more experience, the more accurate and better you get to decorate your nails, turning cute female hands into a real miracle candy.
Good old French
No, in this case it does not mean a man's military cut frock coat. We are talking about a variety of French manicure (as this word is translated literally: “French” - “French manicure”). And the red jacket is a very elegant, beautiful, spectacular nail design, obtained with the help of varnishes of different colors, among which the emphasis is on all shades of red - from bright scarlet, poppy to maroon, cherry. The classic version is a combination of red with white or nude varnishes. However, you can not limit your imagination and use 1-2 more contrasting colors, for example, black or dark blue. When the experimentfinish, you will be pleasantly surprised how bright, extraordinary the red jacket looks on your hands compared to a regular manicure.
Varieties of french
French manicure with a red accent can be done in three main ways:
- white "smile" and red field of the nail plate;
- red "smile" and white nail field;
- red "smile" and neutral coating of the nail field.
When the desired option is selected, the flight of fantasy begins. It is possible to diversify this splendor with rhinestones - one large one in the upper corner of each nail or a rim of small ones around the “smile”. It is possible to draw a contrasting border on the border of the “smile” to focus on the main color. With a neutral background of the nail field, the red jacket is perfectly complemented by a decorative pattern. The level of skill determines the degree of complexity of the pattern and the aesthetic degree of the resulting manicure.
Which nails to use?
Any manicure looks first of all on well-groomed nails, carefully processed, with filed edges and without an edge of dirt under them. It is strictly forbidden to break or gnaw the nail plate: this violates the integrity of its structure, it becomes brittle, exfoliates and loses all presentability. About the threat of getting sick with anything, from stomatitis and diarrhea, I think it’s not even worth warning - this is already clear.
Length is also important. Red jacket is very good on medium andlong nails. The outer edge should be oval or square. A square one looks more spectacular on a long manicure - with a short one, the fingers seem smaller and thicker than they really are, and the hand itself is rougher. And the oval fits both medium and long. The claw shape is also an interesting option. It is best if the outer edge is red, the rest is neutral: flesh, light peach, pale pink.
It should be recalled that a red jacket is made on nails not only "natural", but also on a gel, acrylic coating in the process of building them up. Materials such as biogel and gel polish, tips are no less suitable.
Details of application
As already mentioned, a regular jacket with an emphasis on red varnish is quite easy to do. Difficulty, perhaps, can be caused by drawing a “smile”: it must be done clearly, accurately, and, most importantly, the same thickness and bend on all fingers. Only then the red jacket, photos of different models confirm this, will acquire the desired effect. Therefore, in order to "stuff" your hand, it is first better to use special stencils. If they are not at hand, and you find it difficult to draw a semicircle, you can depict a “smile” in the form of a Latin “V”. It will be very original.
The application of other "goodies" in the form of rhinestones, foil and mica jewelry, decorative drawings is best left to nail art masters in special salons.
