French still remains the classic of all fashion trends and varieties of the usual design. It looks beautiful on square and almond-shaped nails, it is performed in arched and conventional extension techniques.

Free oval edge - perfect nail shape for performing dry hardware manicure, coating with gel varnishes, combined design when extending the plate with gel and acrylic systems.

General recommendations

Depending on the chosen design, technique, the algorithm for performing the jacket may differ.

There are general guidelines to be followed:

1. The perfect jacket is one in which the smile line repeats and reflects the curve at the base of the cuticle.
2. The smile line should not be thick, and the sides should be removed from the center of the plate.
3. When using stencils, keep in mind that their size is the same, but the bend on the index finger and little finger is different.

The combination of colors in French manicure:

For some designs, the almond shape may be sharper without a smooth transition, with a sharp parallel cut along the center of the plate. Various patterns, decorations and rhinestones with stones can be used as a design to create an unusual ornament.

Can be used:

• polyhedron stones of different sizes;
• broth;
• glitter and foil;
• water and 3D stickers;
• feathers and bindings;
• fimo;
• piercings;
• flock;
• lace in the form of stickers or monograms;
• nets and threads;
• sand and metal;
• rubbing;
• acrylic elements.

The latter type of jewelry is used in the technique of acrylic modeling. Now masters of nail service use strengthening materials for nails in the field of creating art design.

To keep the acrylic powder on a hard surface, it is mixed with modeling gels. Finely ground sand or flour fits well on the gel paste. Paints for such patterns are not suitable - they spread and lose their shape, height when sprinkled.

To create a wedding ornament, pattern, gel plasticine is used. It replaces acrylic powder in structure, without requiring mixing of substances to give shape and the desired consistency.

French for almond nails can be done in several techniques using different modeling systems and designs:

• gel polish;
• folding stained glass jacket;
• aquarium design;
• using tips, top liquid and bottom forms.

In the classic gel extension technique, you can create an arched almond in a conventional and modern design. The only difference is in the formulation. The classic is distinguished by straight lines, semicircular in the area of ​​the free edge and side bolsters. For a laid-out jacket, forms for arched almonds are suitable - here the lateral parallels will be symmetrical with the bevel lines at the junction of the arch.

Techniques and methods

The main technique for creating a jacket is coating with gel polish.

For independent work you will need:

• degreaser of the nail plate;
• primer or bonder;
• brushes;
• lint-free napkins;
• file 100/180 grit;
• buff;
• UV / LED lamp;
• base and top without a sticky layer;
• gel polish of a nude shade and color (white).

Permanent (drawn) jacket can be done with a smile brush, ball, white pencil or stencils.

Important! The stencils are of the same thickness and width. Accordingly, the smile line on the middle finger and little finger will not look aesthetically pleasing, since the nail plate on them is different. Therefore, it is recommended to use special brushes that help paint over the area near the side rollers.

The main camouflage tone of the gel polish should be a nude shade. In the classic design, it matches the color of the nail plate.

Variations and combinations of shades are possible.

To perform a jacket at home, you need:

1. Prepare materials and lamp. Brushes cleaned, instruments disinfected.
2. To buff the nails, passing through them with a file 100/180 grit in one direction.
3. Degrease with a napkin.
4. Apply bonder or primer and dry completely.
5. Apply a base coat of gel (base) and dry for 2-3 minutes in a lamp.
6. Without removing the sticky layer, apply camouflage gel polish in several layers to obtain a rich color with intermediate drying in a lamp for up to 60-90 seconds.
7. Remove the sticky layer, if present. When the dispersion layer dissolves, the white gel polish will not “slide off” from the nail and will not absorb the colored camouflage elements.
8. Apply white gel paint in 1-2 coats and dry for up to 2-3 minutes in a lamp.
9. After polymerization, remove the sticky layer and cover the nails with top.

If at the stage of coating with gel polish you want to add some variety and make your nails bright, you can create a design. Stones, sequins, figures are applied to a special glue or base coat. It is not recommended to cover them with a top to keep the shine.

When working with the gel system, such points as the height of the apex, the construction of the shape during the extension or correction are taken into account. Dry hardware or combined manicure is performed. Sometimes you can combine gel and polygel, mix modeling bases, dilute with a rubber base to obtain a better consistency of the material.

1. In addition to basic tools and fluids, you will need camouflage gel or polygel, white gel paint or another color.
2. Brush for laying out gel or polygel.
3. Gel-jelly or gel-soufflé for the form.

The extension procedure is identical to that carried out when nail polishing, except for the choice of materials. If correction is needed, the nails are damaged, it is better to use an acidic primer. The usual one is applied under the base for nail dehydration. The prep primer is the same as the bonder. It is necessary for the preparation of the plate, its cleaning.

After applying the base coat, you need to shape and arch the nails. To do this, a gel or polygel is applied to the previously substituted form with one drop.

After the formation of the nail bed, you need to sawdust and cover with a transparent gel or top. The laid-out french technique involves laying out the main camouflage material to the smile zone in the lower form. The underlay serves as a support for the free edge.

To work with polygel, you also need to purchase:

• brushes;
• polygel liquid or dehydrator (alcohol);
• color gel soufflé;
• top without sticky layer.

Two colors are laid out joint to joint, so that when filing, the colored gel does not wear off and becomes thinner. It is also necessary to cover the entire manicure with a top. If desired, add drawings, designs before or after applying the finish.

Options in different shades

Ombre remains the most popular. Manicure can be done with a sponge, airbrush (in the salon), a sponge at home.

1. Prepare the nail plate and match colors.
2. Mix the gradient paint on the oilcloth, achieve a transition. It can also be done with a rare brush, applying two colors to the nail.
3. Paint the arc hole in color according to the shape of the free edge.
4. Fix the result by blocking the finish.

Any combination of cold and warm shades is suitable for a gradient manicure.

A vertical ombre can be applied to the entire nail (picture above), when a darker color passes to the next finger, starting with the lightest shade. This design is suitable for the cold season. Correction is not difficult - the color is removed and a new design is applied.

Shades of beige, pink and pastel tones are suitable for such a jacket. A similar design was made with a brush for painting with white paint and gel-paste, on top of which was layered acrylic powder. 3D effect created.

To repeat the design of the nails, you need to prepare the plate before the finished classic jacket:

2. Use a 0.3 mm thick brush to draw lines. It can duplicate the ornament.
3. After sprinkling with acrylic, dry in a lamp and add decorations in the form of stones or broths to the pattern.

1. First, prepare the bed for the gel polish application.
2. Find colors that can be combined with each other.
3. Apply base and dry.
4. Cover the free edge with white so that the dispersion from it does not "spread" over the colored substrate during drying.
5. Then add more lines as desired.

Dry manicure can be finished after all layers have dried.
