General recommendations

French manicure (colored or classic) is performed by several techniques. Each master chooses a method that is convenient for him, they are almost the same in complexity.

Techniques for creating a French manicure:

French manicure, both in color and in white, is ideal for creating an office manicure, created on short nails of any shape, which is practical for everyday life. For lovers of bright decor, it is allowed to decorate the manicure with rhinestones along the line of joining the jacket and the nail bed.

Techniques and methods

The simplest and fastest technique used in salons is “smile line” stamping. For this, special plates with French engraving have been created. The color of the "smile line" depends on the chosen stamping gel. To add variety to the chosen design, mirror rubbing or foil casting is often used over the printed design.

Description of the basic techniques for creating a jacket yourself:

Each of the techniques requires specific skills to be performed.

The key to high-quality French manicure is a flat nail plate, which is prepared at the stage of manicure. To get a beautiful oval flare, you need to master the technique of leveling with a camouflage base. So in one step, you can get a flat nail plate and a color coating to create a jacket.

Options in different shades

French manicure (colored lay-out) allows you to create complex aquarium designs. To do this, the nails must be longer than average. Then the pattern and colors of the jacket will be clearly visible. The longer the nails, the easier it is to form the "smile line" of a laid-out jacket.

Creating an aquarium color jacket with kamifubuki and glitter:

1. Install the lower form and lay out the substrate with a transparent construction gel, which will create the desired length of the future nail, will serve as a platform for connecting the artificial part with the natural nail.
2. Lay out the nail bed using a camouflage base or polygel. When laying out the material, it is necessary to create a high side in the "smile line" zone. Dry in a lamp for at least 30 seconds so that the colored material dries out to its full depth.
3. The joint with the nail bed on the substrate, which is painted over with colored gel polish, is laid out with kamifubuki and glitters. The design is dried in a lamp, 30 sec.
4. A transparent construction gel is laid on top of the decor. This layer should raise the height of the free edge to the side, which was lined with a camouflage base. The structure is dried for 60 sec.
5. With a file (180 by 240) gritts, cut the formed laid-out jacket according to the scheme one by one: free edge, lateral zones, area near the cuticle, zone from free edge to apex, lateral parallels. Particular attention should be paid to the junction between the nail bed and the smile line. In this place, the sawdust is carried out in a circular motion, giving the nail the shape of an arch.
6. Remove dust from the outside and inside of the nail with a cleanser.
7. Apply a layer of finishing gel with drying in a lamp for 30 seconds.

The peculiarity of aquarium french jackets is that it is impossible to do without recycled sawdust after laying out the material. It is the correct filing of the laid-out jacket that gives perfection to the design. It can be carried out both with a hardware cutter and a file.

Matte manicure

The lack of glossy shine trend is moving to 2019 from the previous season. Previously, craftsmen removed glossy shine after polymerizing materials with a buff. Today manufacturers of products for the nail industry have developed special topcoats that provide a long-lasting matte effect.

Bottles with this top are specially marked "matte". After polymerizing in a lamp, they remove the glossy shine from all previous layers of gel varnish.

The most ordinary classic white jacket acquires a special charm when using a matte finish layer. These designs are particularly elegant and serve as the perfect backdrop for rhinestones.

Patterned options

French manicure (color design) is as popular today as the classic white jacket. The difficulty of hand painting is in drawing small details on a limited surface.

To carry out such jewelry work, you must have skill and good eyesight. But there are simpler methods of getting a jacket with patterns that are available to beginners at home.

Technique for performing French using sliders

1. Before work, you must prepare a container with water. Shallow dishes with plain tap water at room temperature.
2. Use nail scissors to cut a fragment onto the nail from the paper backing and lower it into water.
3. Prepare the nail for colored coating. Get a manicure and apply a primer.
4. Lay out a layer of camouflage base or colored gel polish (depending on the design idea). Dry in an ICE lamp for 30 sec.
5. Remove the sticky (dispersion) layer from the coating with a lint-free cloth soaked in a dehydrator.
6. Use tweezers to pull the French piece out of the water. Remove the film with the pattern from the paper base, picking it up by the edge, transfer to the nail. Smooth over the surface with the pad of your finger or a silicone brush.
7. Cover the design with a layer of rubber top and dry for 30 seconds.

To prevent the design from flaking from the end, it is necessary to work out the edge of the nail with a file or buff before covering with a top. Manicure products manufacturers produce jacket sliders in various themes: flowers, lace, animal prints.

Technique of a drawn jacket with stationery markers

1. Apply a colored coating to the nail and dry for 30 sec.
2. Apply the “smile line” with the chosen color of gel polish. You can paint it with a brush from a bottle, and then with a soft brush dipped in cleanser (alcohol), remove the excess, creating a clean "smile line". Wipe the brush on a lint-free cloth, removing excess material. Dry the finished result in a lamp for 30 seconds.
3. Remove the sticky layer from the nail with a cleanser.
4. Purchase a black thin marker from office supplies that draws on smooth surfaces. Draw them monograms or geometric patterns. Wait for the drawing to air dry.
5. Cover the design with a top over the drawing and dry for 30 seconds.

Any colored marker can be used instead of black.

The drawing turns out to be bright and clear, but there are two prerequisites for creating a persistent drawing:

1. Wait until the marker on the nail is completely dry.
2. Overlap the drawing with a top without a sticky layer, otherwise, during polymerization, the drawing will blur into a blot.

How to draw along the "smile line" with dots

1. Create a French manicure from any selected shades. Dry completely in a lamp.
2. Choose a contrasting gel polish and put a drop on the palette.
3. Remove the sticky layer from the nail.
4. Choose a dots of the desired diameter and place dots on the jacket with colored gel polish. They are placed either along the line of the junction of colors, or randomly along the surface of the jacket. Dry in an ICE lamp for 30 sec.
5. Can be decorated with glitter and covered with a top, drying for about 30 seconds.

With the help of a dots with a small diameter, you can draw small monograms... This method is convenient to use for a jacket, since the drawing plane is small. Small multi-colored flowers are also painted with gel paint on a jacket using dots of different diameters. Even masters who do not know how to paint can create flower arrangements using this technique.

Decor ideas

French manicure (color version) is decorated both along the junction of the jacket with the nail, and along the surface of the free edge. Modern masters use all types of decor to decorate French manicure, often combining them in bright, shiny compositions.

Decorating the "smile line" with rhinestones:

1. Create a French manicure design using selected gel polish colors. Dry in a lamp for 60 seconds, until the layers are completely polymerized.
2. Apply a thin layer of top (with a matte or glossy effect) and dry in an ICE lamp for 30 sec.
3. The rhinestones that will be attached to the nail must first be laid out on the palette, forming the necessary inlay. This will make it easier to match stones by color and size.
4. With a thin brush, apply a narrow strip of rhinestone glue (you can use a transparent builder gel or a thick base) along the junction of the jacket with the nail bed. Do not dry out the design.
5. With a dots or a special wax pencil, transfer the rhinestones from the palette to a strip of material, lightly pressing them to the nail. After completing the composition, dry in an ICE lamp for 60 sec.
6. Drown about 10 pieces on the palette in a drop of top. broth. Then, with a thin brush, distribute the broths between the rhinestones, thereby strengthening them. Dry in a lamp for at least 30 seconds.
7. Do not overlap the stases from above with a top coat.

To get an elegant French manicure with decor, you should strictly monitor the size of the stones and the amount of glitter. Going over in sequins can have the opposite effect.

When decorating a non-standard (angular) French line, craftsmen use flexible self-adhesive tapes. This technique allows you to hide all the irregularities at the junction of two colors, makes the "smile line" clear and bright. To fix the tape on the nail, overlap it with 2 layers of top. It should be borne in mind that a beautiful appearance will be obtained only if special (bending) tapes are used.

Fashion trends in 2019

In 2019, non-standard solutions in the design of French manicure are especially popular: the geometric shape of the "smile line", dotted drawing (made by dots), "foam design".

At home, it is easy to perform an unusual manicure using soap suds. It is gaining popularity because it is easy to perform and provides unexpected and original results.

How to design yourself with soap foam:

1. Prepare the nail for the application of the base layer: remove the cuticle, clean the nail plane from pterygium, treat the entire nail plane with a buff.
2. Remove residual dust with a cleanser and cover the nail plate with a thin layer of primer, which dries in air for 1-2 minutes.
3. Apply a base coat with a semi-dry brush and cure in a lamp for 30 seconds. This layer is necessary for strong adhesion of subsequent applications of artificial material, serves as a barrier between the acidic layer of the primer and the polymers of gel polishes.
4. Apply a colored camouflage base using the leveling technique: place a large drop in the apex area and stretch it with a thin brush into a dense layer over the surface of the nail. Dry the structure for 60 sec.
5. Draw a "smile line" with a thin brush (if provided by the design). Dry the design in an ICE lamp for 30 sec.
6. Apply a thin layer of the top without a sticky layer that does not dry out.
7. Beat the foam in a small container in advance. As a foaming material, you can use cleansing foam, soap, dishwashing gel. They dissolve in a small amount of water (2 tablespoons) and beat with a fan brush into a fluffy mass.
8. Using a fan-shaped brush, transfer the foam cap to the edge of the nail where the jacket is planned. Dry a wet nail in a lamp for 30 sec.
9. Blot the nail with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove residual moisture and make the foamy relief more distinct.
10. If the foam has a wider layer than planned, it can be cleaned off with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or cleanser. In this way, you can correct the required form of the jacket.
11. For greater expressiveness of the relief, you can apply a rub in with a cosmetic sponge. Collect a small amount of powder and rub it into the bubbles with gentle movements. If you use a rub, the nail must be covered with a top layer of gel on top. Without the use of additional decor, the "foam design" does not overlap with the top, so as not to smooth out the texture.

Popular are sharp jackets, in which the "smile line" is obtained from the connection of two triangles of different colors.

For example, a white triangle is drawn along the left side edge, and a black one on the right. The two shapes intersect at the center of the nail. Such an avant-garde jacket is ideal for office manicure. If desired, it can be successfully decorated with small crystals. It is carried out with the help of drawing with a thin brush.

French manicure is the most popular type of design that has been tested for decades. The classic version becomes colored and changes shape - undergoes changes and improves. Craftsmen come up with new original techniques for creating a jacket, with which they try to facilitate the task of creating it for beginners.
