VARIETIES OF FRENCH MANICURE
Classical. This is the laconic appeal of naturalness. When applied, the nail plate is covered with a bed base (most often beige, pink or peach), and the tip of the nail is painted white. The basis for creating such a manicure can be both a natural nail and an extended one with gel, gel polish, acrylic, or using tips. This option is great for medium-length nails.
American. This type of jacket does not require drawing a smile line, that is, the color of the tip smoothly turns into the color of the base. It can be performed with any shape of the nail, but most often the American jacket is made on sharp or square nails. It differs from the classic version in the richness of colors (not only white and beige-pink).
Fan-french. A popular type of manicure, in which the very tip of the nail plate is decorated, but not its body itself. In fact, this is a French manicure the other way around, when the bed is painted in a dark shade and the edges are light.
Stained glass jacket. When creating it, the tip of the nail is extended with acrylic or colored gel. A nail decorated using the stained glass technique is often decorated with glitter or acrylic.
French Millennium. The tip of the nail is decorated with sparkling dusting and sparkles. A smooth transition from the sparkling tip to the rest of the nail plate is also possible.
Art French. Designer interpretations with foil, lace or free edge stickers. A distinctive feature of this type of French manicure is the presence of a bright pattern and shiny jewelry. Often, the drawing is applied only to the ring finger.
Openwork jacket. In this case, delicate lace-like patterns cover the nail plates.
Colored jacket. In such a manicure, any other color gel polish is used instead of white.
Note: Surely you managed to notice that each manicure is interesting in its own way, the choice is yours, but you should take into account the fact that it should be harmoniously combined with the general style.
