Long nail french: original design ideas and the latest fashion trends

Despite the fact that fashion tends to be natural, today in the female image you can often see long nails. And since their design often leaves much to be desired, it is necessary to find out the features that one has to face in searching for the perfect manicure.

Under the French manicure means the technique of accenting the regrown edge of the nail plate. Initially, this design was conceived specifically for actresses who did not have enough time to repaint nails when changing outfits. At the time, the jacket was a revolutionary solution that allows you to keep your nails in good shape.

Later, the color solutions of the technique became diverse - due to this, it is possible to successfully enter the French design into the female bow of any style and age. In this case, the regrown part of the nail, called a smile, today may be the most diverse. If earlier it still had a binding to a certain form of the nail plates, today any experiments are welcome: from the width and height to the owner's imagination.

French manicure today has several variations - This is a traditional classic, and reverse or inverted jacket, and even gradient. Each type is remarkable in its own way, while the technique itself is able to visually ennoble not only the shape of the nails, but also make the fingers more elegant.

Long nails may have a different shape of the edge. Today, several variants of the design of nail plates are considered fashionable. The most successful of them is the oval shape, since for it there are no borders in the design. Besides it, square and almond-shaped marigolds are popular, the return of which has become a welcome event for many fashionistas.

As for sharp nails, this form today also began to choose quite often. In fairness it should be noted that sharp nails, due to their glamor and shocking, are quite demanding on the choice of design. If you sculpt anything on them, they will not look beautiful in a woman's bow. In general, the shape of the nails each woman chooses for herself, based on the characteristics of natural nail plates, as well as habits. This is explained by the fact that for some fashionistas it is more usual to walk with oval nails that do not cling to anything, while other women are not uncomfortable and have a sharp cut.

Someone prefers smooth forms, which is partly due to the appointment of a manicure. For example, an oval version or even a “ballerina” looks better in a women's bow than long and impossibly sharp stilettos. The same can be said about the attempt to embed an asymmetrical saw into the image - it is good at one time, but it is completely unsuitable for everyday wear.

In fact, all types of nail coatings for modern french can be divided into 2 types: gels and varnishes. Since today we are accustomed to high-quality and durable manicure, the choice stops on hybrid varnishes that combine both properties of gel and varnish.If earlier there was also a confusion between the concepts of gel varnish and shellac, today almost every woman knows that the principle of operation of varnishes is the same (the second name is associated with a particular brand name).

French for long nails can be performed with coatings of different types. The best are matte and glossy pigmented varnishes. With high pigmentation, they are economical. It is convenient to work with them in that they do not dry without a special drying lamp. This allows the master to work without haste, performing one or another design of the service jacket.

In addition to matte and glossy coating options, noteworthy are magnetic, chameleon, temperature, jelly, mother-of-pearl and mirror versions. Each of them allows you to add something different to the design of the French manicure, which will allow a woman to be the center of attention. For example, temperature coatings that create a gradient effect due to different ambient temperatures look especially beautiful on long nails. When it is cold, the top edge will darken, while the base may remain light.

Magnetic options allow you to create the effect of "cat's eye", although today the masters have improved the usual flare, literally performing cosmic designs with this varnish. Chameleon variants are remarkable in that they adapt to different lighting. Mirror variations can recreate a metallic effect, which is also considered to be ultrafashionable today.

There are many ideas that fashion offers to adopt when doing a French manicure on long nails. For example, today is fashionable:

• emphasize not all, but only three or four nails out of ten;
• use the game of contrast matte and glossy coatings;
• use not volumetric and stucco decoration, but flat and comfortable in-home decoration elements of accents;

• build up nails instead of using inconvenient and applied plates at the most inopportune moment;
• use in the design beautiful stones, but small in size, combining them with bouillons or gold (silver) dots of glitter;
• point to the belonging of the jacket to a certain season of the year, or even to a month or a holiday;
• allocate the cuticle area with small stones, foil, contour stroke.

It is important to use harmonious color combinations in the design. It is better that the number of colors used does not exceed three or four, otherwise the design loses its status, it looks simple and boring. In addition, long nails are particularly demanding on the choice of the primary color, and therefore it should be chosen thoroughly, relating to the clothes or specific accessories in the women's wardrobe. The color of the manicure should not completely coincide, for example, with the tone of the skirt or dress, but if it is related, it will give the image of versatility.

It is important not to forget about the dosage of the decor: the French jacket on long nails will look more expensive if you use less shine, but rely on the material of accent nails. In this case, the emphasis can be made not only in the jacket itself - for this, French manicure can be combined with classic, moonlight, reverse inverted French, “powder”, “veil” or even “broken glass”. Contrasts of different textures usually add a special mood to the jacket, ennobling the feminine image.

Today to decorate french on long nails can be:

• acrylic-based powder powders;
• rub;
• stickers;

• stamping;
• stencils;
• spreading varnishes;
• hand painted;

• Japanese kamifubuki;
• glitter or shiny sugar;
• rhinestones or crystals;
• manicure foil.

With regards to lace is worth noting that it is now embodied in hand-painted. Especially beautiful it looks in the accent under the classic and reverse french. Lace motifs can be located in the center of the accent nail, on the side, instead of a smile or at the base of the nail plate itself. They are performed by drawing, stamping, using disposable stencils or removing the pattern from the foil on a special glue, which becomes transparent when dried.

Geometric patterns are often located at the base. Today it is elongated triangles that can have a length from the base to the edge of the nail. At the same time, they often have a border or parallel stripes, due to which they visually beat the flaws of the plates. Often for geometric designs use rhinestones, kamifubuki and glitter. Rubbing is also used for further design: it is painted with gel on it, and sometimes, in addition, volumetric drawings are created on it.

Design can be done on the basis of its seasonality. For example, for the fall, you can use prints of leaves and raindrops, using a transparent top or modeling gel. For the summer, you can apply the theme of juicy fruits and insects. In the spring it is worth painting icicles on the nails, using the first green paint in the design. For winter, the texture of knitted sweaters, snowflake designs and snow jacket, for which you can use acrylic sand, will do.

The effect of snow powders will look very nice, berry designs are considered to be just as fashionable. Due to the large length of the nails, it will not be difficult to decorate long, French accent nails in a similar theme. All kinds of feathers, spikelets, and flowers made in the technique of wet drawing with special varnishes look beautiful on such nails.
