Fashionistas made themselves French manicures in the 18th century, and this fashion does not work to this day. The design managed to undergo changes, and many perform French manicures with patterns, rhinestones and other interesting options. The ideas below will help determine which pattern to choose for nails today.

Classic french manicure with a pattern

The classic jacket is appropriate for any situation; it looks neat and elegant. But you can make the classics more interesting in many ways.

  • The most popular theme for nail designs is flowers or images of individual petals. They are applied to the plate after a classic design. Flowers are also convenient in that rhinestones organically look as their core.
  • Another relevant idea for the drawing is butterflies, which can be depicted in your favorite color.
  • Variety of classic French manicure is also easily possible without using many colors. Add a few extra lines to the “smile”, make another “smile” at the root of the nail or follow a simple pattern on the plate.

Ideas for short nails

The design of a French manicure for short nails may differ, because there is less space for the image. However, this does not mean that the most daring ideas can be realized only on a long nail plate. On the contrary, flowers and minimalistic patterns will look great on a small work surface.

  • The cage or peas look great on short nails. Try to color the “smile” on several fingers in white-blue, black-white or any other polka dots, and cover some with such a pattern completely.
  • Lovers of a simpler design will use a plain manicure in which the “smile” is made in gold or silver with a metallic tint.
  • You can also choose your favorite colors and make your fingertips double. For example, one half is made in light pink, the other in mint green.
  • The pastel gamut looks great on short nails - take three or four colors and alternate them on a plate and a “smile” on different fingers.

Color jacket with design

The simplest idea for a colored French manicure is a double or triple jacket in different colors. For example, you can apply classic white to the tips, above - blue, pink or any other to taste.

Another option - take the color scheme of red, black and gold. French can be made black, red or alternate them, and on the plate itself, depict red flowers and gold leaves, drawing a contour in black.

For those who love sparkles, the following design is suitable for which varnishes with glitter of different colors (pink, blue, golden, emerald and others) will be needed. The plate is covered with the usual beige color, and the jacket is made of two varnish with sparkles. To make the sparkles more visible, make the border wide.

French manicure with a ring finger

Those who do not like the monotony, opt for a French manicure with a design that differs on the ring finger.

Such an asymmetric jacket looks interesting and emphasizes the grace of the hands, especially if the wedding manicure and a ring are worn on the finger - it will draw attention to the decoration.

  • The ring finger can be covered with the usual white color, a white pattern, or add a little rhinestone.
  • Many move the "smile" to the root of the nail, covering it with rhinestones.
  • A french jacket will look unusual in which a different nail is made in a different technique - for example, marbled, broken glass, mother of pearl.
  • If you can’t live without rhinestones, try applying rhinestones of the same shape to the tips of the nails, for example, round or square, and cover your ring finger completely with other stones.

Fancy Fan French

To some manicure lovers, nails with a white tip seem too boring. Especially for them, the classic low-key design has undergone changes over the years.

Fan-french is called to revive the drawing - a kind of French manicure, different color scheme. The boundaries of the “smile” in the fan-jacket are arbitrary. At the tips you can use any color you like, as well as rhinestones, chameleon varnishes, halogens and various coatings.

  • The simplest design option can be implemented using bright colors on each finger, each with its own.
  • To emphasize saturation, cover your nails with sparkles or rhinestones of the same shade.
  • Graduation with a usual coating or with sparkles will look beautiful. For example, a silver or gold color saturated at the tips becomes lighter towards the cuticle.

Lunar french manicure with a pattern

Lunar manicure, in which the jacket is not at the fingertips, but at the cuticle, is perfect for nails of any shape. On the nails, you can either depict a lunar manicure on its own, or alternate it with a classic french.

This type of manicure looks elegant when the master frames the jacket with a strip of a different color.

  • For example, you can make a french jacket of gold color, with or without sparkles, outline it with a black strip, and also put a black jacket on the tip of the nail.
  • The moon jacket with a plate of a different color, separated by a regular beige strip, will look elegant.
  • You can also make beige the jacket itself by covering the rest of the plate with a geometric pattern and circling the lines in black.

The most unusual design ideas

For an unusual pattern on the nails, you can use metallic lacquer. Cover the tip of the nail with one color, for example, green, and on the ring fingers - gold with a pattern extending from it - a rectangular strip-lattice with lines of gold and green colors.

 

An original look on the hands is a design with a pointed shape of nails, in which the manicure itself should be expressive. French in black, the plate in beige, and cover the border between them with a manicure film of gold color to get the effect of broken glass.

Another unusual effect that has long been used in nail design is called the “aquarium” - a manicure with sparkles and various elements is applied in several layers, so that the picture is voluminous, as if it is under glass. You can depict any pattern in such a technique by adding rhinestones on top of it for greater brightness.

French manicure is an ageless classic. But even in it there is a place for experimentation. Do not hold back your imagination, and your hands will always look amazing!
