French shellac for short nails is most often performed in a classic style. First, they make a manicure, apply the base and base with shellac, dry in a lamp and only after that draw a smile.
The order of execution of the classic jacket:
- Take a drop of gel and leave it in the middle of the free edge of the prepared nail plate.
- Initially, you need to decide where the “antennae of the jacket” will reach - visually draw a line in the center to understand where the 2 mirror sides will connect.
- You can put points in the right places for marking. The antennae should end at the same height on the right and left sides.
- From the center point with a thin brush, draw a semicircular line up, where the antennae will end.
- Then the same thing is done on the other hand.
- Smile line.
- Fill the jacket loop with shellac.
- Examine the nail from different angles and even out the smile.
- Dry in a lamp.
At the end, the manicure is covered with a layer of fixing agent, smoothing out all the irregularities in the transition from the main layer of shellac to the French line.
On long nails
On long nails, in addition to the classic version, you can make a beveled jacket, which can be the basis for some design.
Work execution order:
- The antennae is removed to the middle of a natural nail.
- Fill with shellac.
- From the center point of the nail to the left, they do not bring up the same smile line, but simply bring it to nothing.
- The nail is dried in a lamp.
Recently, the reverse jacket has become popular, that is, a classic, but upside down drawing of a smile. If 2 bulky nails loaded with camouflage are painted, the rest can be decorated with a reverse jacket.

- Then they go down to the middle of a natural nail or to the very end of the free edge, and draw a contour.
- Fill with color, level, and dry in a lamp.
The finished work is covered with a thick layer of fixative. It will turn out a good nail with perfect glare.
