French is considered a classic manicure - it is ideal for any outfit and event in life. If the traditional version seems too boring to someone, you should pay attention to the art jacket - bright colors and patterns are used in such a manicure.
Art French is a trendy manicure, decorated with all kinds of drawings and patterns in bright colors. As in the classic version, the tip of the nail stands out in a separate color, but not necessarily white - it can be painted in red, blue, black and any other shade. Most often, the drawing is applied only to the ring nail - this option is also suitable for business women. A freer manicure involves decorating all nails with bright patterns, but it is not always appropriate in everyday life.
When creating an art jacket, different patterns are applied to the nails:
- small openwork patterns;
- geometric figures;
- abstractions;
- curls from thin lines;
- dots, polka dots;
- plant and flower drawings;
- oblique lines, straight stripes.
Advice! Nails can be decorated with rhinestones, lace, sparkles, but everything should be in moderation. A catchy jacket is appropriate only on vacation, but not at work.
Types of art jacket
There are several options for this manicure, each of which is appropriate in a particular case.
Important to remember! Regardless of the manicure option, the basic rule for creating a jacket must be observed - the presence of a clearly marked tip of the nail.
Art French: Step by step instructions
To get started, you can try to make a simple version of an art jacket by decorating a classic French manicure with an interesting pattern.
Remember that any manicure looks perfect only on well-groomed hands. Therefore, prepare them for a manicure: remove the cuticle and burrs, give the desired shape to the nails.
Art French: Reader Reviews
Margarita Sokhova, Bryansk (23 years old). I like the art jacket more than the classic version - it looks much more interesting on the nails. But I don’t do too bright manicure, I limit myself to unpretentious patterns - I apply pastel drawings on the basis of a classic jacket. Such a manicure is suitable for work.
Evgenia Sokolova, Moscow (28 years old). I love the art jacket, like any other original manicure. Beautiful patterns, flowers - it looks very beautiful on the nails. I don’t understand women who do a monophonic calm manicure - it’s too easy. And interesting drawings attract the eyes of others.
Inna Zaitseva, St. Petersburg (32 years old). I think that every woman should take care of her hands and always walk with a beautiful manicure. Without a manicure, the image becomes incomplete. I always try to make an interesting and original manicure that emphasizes my personality. Art French is one of my favorite techniques.
Ekaterina Maslova, Krasnodar (30 years old). I have mixed opinions about the art jacket. There are many options for such a manicure, but not all of them are my favorite. I did an art jacket a couple of times, but chose more serious drawings. When a simple curl pattern is applied to a classic jacket, it looks beautiful, but if the nails are painted in all the colors of the rainbow, then this is already too catchy.
Sofia Melnikova, Rostov-on-Don (27 years old). I love the art jacket, in my opinion, this is one of the best types of manicure. On the one hand, it looks elegant and suitable for any situation, and on the other hand, the original beautiful patterns emphasize individuality and indicate a sense of style.
Tatyana Ermakova, Lipetsk (36 years old). Art-French has never been done and I'm not going to. Of course, there are good options, but I think that such a manicure is more suitable for young girls, but not for serious business women. I don’t put drawings on my nails at all, I always do only a classic jacket - it is universal and suits every woman.
Art French: Video Lesson
My friend and I were discussing what a stylish 2018 French manicure should be, and I decided to write a post following the discussion and show a 2018 French manicure in the photo.
What is French or French manicure? This is a special nail design in which the free edge of the nail is highlighted in a different color. Initially, it was a classic beautiful French manicure, for which the nail was covered with beige or slightly pinkish varnish, and with the help of additional means the free edge was emphasized - the so-called smile.
For this, special coatings, pencils and even spraying are used. Now masters make the following types of jacket:
- classic jacket (beige or pale pink with white);
- color jacket (combination of any shades);
- “Naked” French manicure, in which only a smile is given color;
- matte and glossy nail design;
- french manicure for short nails;
- french manicure with rhinestones;
- black jacket with a colorful smile.
For decoration are used:
- rhinestones;
- sculptural plastic;
- sliders;
- shimmers;
- stamping.
Many craftsmen and amateurs offer their own designs using various pigments, special foils, flock and velvet sand. Special threads and stickers, stencils and thermal film are used, as well as much more - you can see various designs on the video.
Such a trendy one may not be too pretentious - for example, a black jacket with a velvet design looks very nice.
Fashion trends
You have already thought about what manicure 2018 will be in fashion, fashion trends are constantly changing, but you can highlight the main trends in advance.
Explore the fashion trends of 2018 in the photo
A very beautiful manicure that is fashionable this year - negative space and candy chic, which has already become familiar. Negative space is a jacket with a pattern on a transparent base, and candy chic is a jacket with gel polish using marmalade for nails.
A very interesting nail design is obtained using flock and velvet sand.
Look at the photo design and color solutions for the coating, and then choose the one that suits you.
By the way, on short nails, the jacket looks very attractive and original.
If you do not know how to do a modern French manicure, then watch short videos - you can understand the technique and the main direction of this nail design and feel it.
Another fashion trend is the mixing of several styles, where each nail has its own design, but at the same time it looks very cute. So, for example, on one nail there can be a classic jacket, on the other - a French manicure with a pattern, on the third - a French manicure with rhinestones or with a rim. If everything is done in the same style, then it looks stylish and cool.
We do it ourselves
If you like doing your own nail art and want to figure out how to do a French manicure at home, then watch the tutorial videos. The main stages of French manicure:
- hygiene procedures according to your usual order (hardware or trimming care, cuticle removal, giving nails the same shape and length);
- base coat of the nail (for this, special enamels are used, which are almost completely absorbed into the nail, leaving a thin film);
- decorative base coat (can be bright, white, colored or neutral);
- design of a smile and decor (rim, pattern, moon nail design);
- top coat and finish.
If you want to learn how to do French manicure with a pattern, then it is best to purchase special varnishes for drawing - they have a super-thin brush and a more liquid consistency, which makes the lines more even.
They also produce varnishes for drawing with a needle - a small metal hollow cannula allows you to squeeze out the varnish in small portions and create a pattern on the nail.

It is better to start with a classic French design, which is done using light and beige colors. In stores, you can buy sets of two varnishes and special stickers that help make your smile even and beautiful. And when you have experience, you can try to make a bright or black jacket.
What is better to do in the salon
I’ll make a reservation right away, if you have a lot of experience with manicure tools and good taste, then, of course, you can do whatever you want at home - my warnings apply to girls who want to try something new and make a jacket on their own for the first time.
For example, you should not try to do a French manicure for short nails of an imperfect shape with your own hands, the angle of view is very important here - with all your desire, it will be inconvenient for you to look at your hand the way the master looks at it.
For short nails, it is generally better to use not too contrasting color combinations (for example, blue and white, mint and grassy) - this will visually lengthen the nails and fingers.
Bright colors at home should be used very carefully, because a red French manicure with any complementary color other than the closely related ones (pink and burgundy) will look like you carelessly opened the jam and got dirty.
Red tones for the female look are classic, they attract a lot of eyes, and therefore it is very important that the hands look flawless. Choose a beautiful nail design and trust the master, and then the red nails will be perfect.
In the same way, it is difficult to make a black jacket, if it is done carelessly and even untidy, then the impression will leave a painful one. But if you like black French manicure so much, take some steps to make it better and neater.
For example, if you are doing a jacket with a pattern, make sure the lines are perfect. Or use stamping to hide the not quite smooth area of \u200b\u200bthe smile. To make a simple jacket with a pattern, you can use a special decorative tape or various films.
And, of course, you should not try to do a shellac French manicure at home if you do not have an LED lamp - without it, the whole idea of a durable coating loses its meaning. However, many manufacturers produce lamps for home use, so if you are serious, it makes sense to order a lamp.
A few nuances
Would you like to wear a trendy French manicure for a long time? Make a long-lasting coating in the salon - the same shellac lasts more than two weeks and does not need to be refreshed, it is not harmful to nails and looks very beautiful.
Unsure if a French manicure will suit your nails? Check, there is nothing easier - ask your master to cover one or two nails in this technique, and let the rest be in your usual style. Within a week you will understand whether you like it or not.

This type of manicure is very popular due to its beauty and elegance. It's pretty easy to do at home. The variety of types allows you to choose a design suitable for any occasion: everyday, party, wedding, etc.
A standard French manicure looks very natural: the main coating is done in light pastel colors, and the tip of the nail is covered with white varnish, dense in consistency, and a transparent top is applied to the nails to fix it. Initially, French manicure appeared in America, but subsequently it quickly became fashionable and spread throughout the world. The secret of the success of the French manicure is that the hands with it look very neat and well-groomed, and it does not take much time to complete it. Today, to create a French manicure, modern gel polishes are used, which dry instantly and stay on the nails for a very long time. The variety of cosmetic products for nails and accessories could not but affect how a modern French manicure looks like.
It is worth noting that in its pure classical form it can now be found quite rarely. The traditional “smile” at the tip of the nail is often replaced by other forms, the color palette of manicure becomes richer, and in addition to the standard crescent moon, unusual artistic drawings appear on the nails, which are additionally decorated with rhinestones and other elements. French manicure is constantly undergoing modernization and with each reincarnation it becomes more interesting and more beautiful.

French manicure: how to do?
As noted above, doing a French manicure yourself is not difficult. There are three ways to create a French manicure, but before doing any of them, you need to prepare your nails. Armed with a nail file, we give the desired shape to the nails. Short rounded nails are in trend this season. Next, if you have time, make a hand bath with herbs or sea salt. After that, remove the cuticle. Despite the fact that it became soft after the bath, it is still advisable to use a special cosmetic product.
To keep the varnish for a long time, we create a slight roughness on the surface of the nail with a fine-grained nail file. This must be done very carefully so as not to severely damage the nail plate. The French manicure itself is done using a white, translucent pastel varnish and a finish varnish. The order in which the first two coats are applied may vary. You can first paint the tips of the nails with a white tint, and then apply a pearlescent coating or do the opposite. How to make a line?
There are three ways:
- Draw a line by hand using a special brush;
- Cover the tips of the nails with white gel polish, without waiting until it dries, with a flat brush abundantly dipped in nail polish remover, trim the line, make it rounded;
- Use pre-purchased adhesive-based stencils (and you need to remove them immediately after applying the line so that the varnish does not have time to dry, then the line will be more even and beautiful).
At the end of the French manicure, cover the nails with a finishing transparent varnish, and lubricate the cuticles with nourishing oil. By the way, cosmetic kits for creating a French manicure can be purchased already completed, you can find everything you need in them.
LIFE HACK: How to make a homemade smooth French manicure for short and long nails?
We figured out how to make a French manicure in its standard version, now let's see what other types of jacket are.
Varieties of French manicure
With the development of the beauty industry, including or French manicure has undergone significant changes. There were many varieties of it. Here are just a few of them.
Shiny french manicure
This manicure is very similar to the classic jacket. The difference lies in the fact that glitter is used instead of white varnish. This can be done for some special event. It looks more like an evening one (for example) than an everyday one. Sequins can be used in different sizes, large, small or mixed, the main thing is to fix them well with transparent varnish. A French manicure with sparkles looks very impressive and respectable, a great option. To make it more, you can additionally decorate your nails with small rhinestones or pearls.
An even strip can be made if you gently dip the edge of the nail into a jar of glitter, then blow off the excess, dry it in a lamp and cover with an additional layer of top.
Lace french manicure
To create such a manicure, stickers or special plates / stencils for stamping are used. Such a manicure is done as usual, with the exception of an additional layer of white varnish, which is used to apply lace. A very elegant lace French manicure is very often done for a wedding.
The wedding version of the French manicure is, as a rule, a combination of a lace manicure with rhinestones, pearls, sparkles and a pattern. French manicure is considered a classic of the genre. It is not pretentious, but on the contrary is very elegant and beautiful, which is why brides often make it. Nails look very well-groomed and aesthetically pleasing at the same time, without distracting from the main wedding attribute - a wedding ring.
To diversify the classic French manicure, you can draw a V-shaped line on the tips of the nails instead of a white arc. By the way, such stencils for French manicure are no longer uncommon. This type of manicure looks very original. In general, you can experiment with the line. For example, if you have square-shaped nails, make it straight or draw it at an angle.
You can also make a French manicure with a special gel for aquarium design. Volumetric manicure is decorated with mica, dried flowers, rhinestones, confetti, shells and other nail accessories. French manicure of this kind is laborious in execution, but very elegant.
This is a very popular type of French manicure today. The form of the French manicure remains standard, but the execution changes slightly. Instead of classic white and pastel shades, bright contrasting tones of gel polishes are used.
Gradient french manicure
It is also called the fashionable term ombre (ombre). In this type of French manicure, the crescent at the tip of the nail does not have a clear border and is performed with two shades of varnishes that are close in tone. To create the effect of a smooth transition from one color to another, use a sponge or eyeshadow applicator.
The secret of this technique lies in the fact that not the nail itself remains without a matte coating, but only the hole. This jacket looks very stylish and unobtrusive.
Moon manicure or moon jacket
The arc at the bottom of the nail is often duplicated at its base. They do it in the same white color or leave it uncoated, laying out the border with rhinestones.
French manicure can be done with one shade of gel polish. In this design option, an unpainted space is left in front of the smile line. Looks very original. This version of the jacket is more suitable for dark colors, when the contrast of the shade of the gel polish and the empty area is more noticeable.
Minimalistic design is now in fashion, and in accordance with this trend, the classic jacket has undergone some changes. To make the manicure look more fashionable, the smile line is drawn in the form of a very thin, barely noticeable line. Also, a similar design can be supplemented with a geometric print.
Continuing the theme of minimalism, let's look at another extraordinary design that is now very popular in Asia. We draw circles on the tips of the nails. The nail design technology is similar to the reverse moon manicure, only you need to start applying gel polish from about the middle of the nail plate. It is better to use neutral light shades of varnishes. You can complement the design with stripes or small metal fittings.
Semicircular French manicure design
On a date or on Valentine's Day, you can make yourself an unusual design for nails with hearts. Forget the classic smile line and draw cute hearts with red gel polish.
Romantic design
Artistic french manicure
There are many ways to make a golden jacket: foil, gel polish with a shimmering effect, metallic stickers, rubbing, sparkles, etc.
Trend #6: Foil Prints
If you need a spectacular express design, then use casting foil in your nail decor. Transfer it to your nails in the form of colored prints. You should end up with a craquelure effect with foil only. At the end of the manicure, you can cover the nails with a matte top. This novelty is gaining momentum and will soon be very popular.
Trend # 7: French manicure with a decorated stripe
Geometry is in fashion, so when making a jacket, focus on one nail. Just do not apply the design to the entire surface, select one vertical strip. The trend is geometric gradient, molding, drawing in the shape of a narrow rectangle, rhinestone design, etc.
Perhaps this type of manicure can be devoted to a separate chapter. French manicure with a pattern looks very impressive. Drawings are made consonant with clothing, makeup or the image as a whole. They can be divided into several categories, the most popular of which are:
- Seasonal drawings
They are performed based on the time of year, in summer it can be flowers, in winter snowflakes, in autumn colorful foliage.
- Floral ornaments
One of the most popular types of drawings on the nails. French manicure can be decorated with cute simple daisies, traditional roses or luxurious lilies. The drawing is already applied to the finished manicure and fixed with a transparent varnish. For drawings, you can use thin brushes or stamping plates.
- Lines and geometric shapes
Quite often you can find a French manicure with a colored strip duplicating a “smile” or a geometric nail design that is now fashionable.
- Freehand and abstract drawings
In fact, French manicure is very versatile and can be complemented with absolutely any pattern in shape and style. It all depends on the imagination of the master. In aquarium design, french manicure is often done on a marine theme, young girls decorate it with mickey mice, and lovers of everything unusual with abstract or ethnic patterns.

Classic white jacket
More than 30 years ago, an American entrepreneur and owner of a cosmetics company, Jeff Pink, came up with a very original idea for a unique manicure that would perfectly match any woman's outfit - from elegant evening to everyday urban. A similar design was to the taste first of all to Hollywood actresses - after all, until this day they had to repaint their nails several times a day, depending on the chosen outfit.
The idea of a new type of manicure was as follows: a pale pink nail plate was covered with transparent, beige or light pink varnish, and the tips of the nails were decorated with a bright white rim. Fashionistas all over the world simply gasped with delight when they saw how feminine and elegant the nails turned out to be, designed in this way.
This type of manicure received the name “French” a little later, when Pink, before a fashion show in Paris, suggested that one of the fashion models shade the tips of the nails with a bright white color. Since that day, the positions of the French have become even stronger. Today, a white French manicure, just like a little black dress, has become the standard of femininity and impeccable style.
Advice! Before applying clear polish to your nails, try bleaching them with a special pencil. With its regular use, the minerals included in the composition will additionally strengthen the nails.
Lunar white and reverse frenchie
It is believed that the idea to cover with a contrast varnish not the tips of the nails, but, on the contrary, the area near the cuticle first came to Lady Gaga's mind. Today, the lunar French manicure (and the area painted over in this case really resembles the moon in shape) has also become a classic.
Today, the moon French manicure has also become a classic. 
Like a regular one, such an inverted jacket can be combined not only with colorless varnishes or pastel or pink tones, but also with other colors: from rich red to avant-garde black.
The reverse jacket looks very unusual, in which the main area of \u200b\u200bthe nails is painted over with white varnish, and, on the contrary, only the tips are covered with bright varnish. You can combine matte and glossy varnishes, as well as use silver and golden compositions in this type of nail design. Of course, you can replace white with any other shade. However, today we will talk about the jacket, in which this color plays a dominant role.
Advice! Even very short nails can be decorated in the form of a jacket. At the same time, the contrasting strip is made very narrow and runs along the very edge of the nail. Short nails can also be designed in the form of an inverted moon or reverse jacket.
Execution technique
We need two types of varnish, one of which is white, and the second is any contrast. We will also need:
- a file with a large abrasive to give the nail plates the desired shape;
- cuticle tweezers;
- nail file with fine abrasive for polishing nails;
- transparent varnish base, it can also be used as a finish;
- a thin brush for drawing or a special stencil for French manicure.
After careful processing of the cuticle, filing the tips of the nails and polishing them, we proceed directly to the creation of a jacket. If you have some experience, you can simply draw it by hand with a brush. But today we will learn how to do French white manicure using stencils. They can be purchased at the store or cut with scissors from ordinary tape.
So let's get started:
- degrease the nails with a clinser (water-alcohol solution) or nail polish remover;
- cover them with a clear base coat and let it dry well;
- now it is necessary to completely paint over the nail plates with varnish of the desired shade;
- as we already know, a strip of white varnish can be located on the edge of the nail or in the area of \u200b\u200bthe hole; depending on the option chosen, carefully paste the stencil in the desired area; in order for the line to turn out perfectly even, it should slightly go on the skin;
- pick up a regular nail polish brush and paint over the selected area; to obtain a perfectly flat surface, it is very convenient to use the "fence" technology, in which with each subsequent movement of the brush, it slightly goes over the previous stroke;
- dry nails;
- pick up a colorless finish varnish and fix the result;
- in order for the composition to last longer, we try to paint over not only the horizontal surface, but also the area of \u200b\u200bthe cut of the nail, for this the brush should slightly go under it.
Advice! After polishing the nail plates with a fine abrasive file, the varnish lasts much longer.
Hollywood manicure
For the first time, this type of nail art was demonstrated by Christian Dior's fashion models at one of the shows. Its main difference is the thin line that runs along the smile line. In its classic form, it separates the main part of the nail plate from the regrown nail or the edges of the hole. When performing an asymmetric jacket (sometimes called an anti-french), its position and shape can change and be arbitrary.
The color of such a strip and its width also varies. Depending on the idea, it can be done not only with varnish, but also with foil or even rhinestones.
Advice! The original moon manicure, unfortunately, has one feature - it is able to visually shorten the nail plate. Therefore, if it is too wide, it is better to use a classic jacket.
french millennium
This type of French nail art differs from the classic one in that the tip of the nail is finished with golden, silver varnish or a composition containing sparkles or the smallest metallic dust. This type of design is ideal for dinner parties or holiday parties. It is not difficult to make it, but the white jacket on the nails (see photo) looks very original!
Be sure to pay attention to the compositions designed to create the effect of "cat's eye". In addition to the varnish itself, the kit includes small magnets of a special shape. When brought to dry nails, the smallest particles of metal line up in bizarre patterns. After coating with this varnish, the edges of your nails will acquire visually 3D volume and will flicker with every movement.
Advice! High-quality varnish should not reach for the brush, but also not be too liquid. Be sure to also check its color on a special tester. After all, the shade of varnish applied to the nails is always different from the color of the bottle itself.
Twist French
The latest novelties of a white jacket (photo) include a twist - a type of French manicure, in which not two, but several colors are used at once, most often from three to five. That is, the tips of the nails or the area of \u200b\u200bthe hole are painted over not with one, but with several contrasting stripes.
Their colors are chosen depending on the overall style. So, white can be combined with red, blue, purple and other bright colors. A black and white stripe running along the edges of the nails looks very unusual, combined with their decoration with small shimmering pebbles and broths.
Advice! It is not recommended to apply varnish on wet nails. Otherwise, it will crack when it dries.
Custom shape
Indeed, why is it necessary to paint over the tips of the nails only in the standard way? Modern fashionistas have long modified the shape of the usual French manicure: a white jacket 2018 can be deep with a very wide smile line, have the shape of an asymmetric arc, a strip running almost across the nail, consist of several lines, a combination of triangles, squares, waves, broken lines, etc. This type of nail art is convenient in that it can be matched to any outfit.
Similarly, you can arrange individual nail plates. For example, 2–3 of them look like a classic jacket, and 1–2 asymmetric ones contrast sharply against their background.
Advice! Matte and glossy varnishes can be combined even on one nail. For example, its edge can be finished with a shiny varnish, and its main part remains matte.
The combination of a jacket with other types of nail art
Open any page on the Internet dedicated to this type of manicure, and you will see not hundreds - thousands of such combinations. White classic jacket can be combined with all existing types of manicure:
- lunar;
- marble: outwardly it seems that the thinnest stone plates are pasted on the tips of the nails;
- leopard: the jacket is made in the form of bright color spots of any shades;
- cat's eye;
- sandy (sugar): using varnishes of a special composition in the form of the smallest inclusions;
- drawings and rhinestones, etc.
Advice! Glossy and mother-of-pearl varnishes are best used in the summer or to create evening looks. Matte polishes are ideal for cold seasons.
White french ombre
Initially, the technology of a smooth transition of contrasting or dark and light colors began to be used when dyeing fabrics, and only then the stylists came up with the idea to create them on nails and even hair. Moreover, such a gradient ombre can be easily recreated even at home. To do this, you only need a sponge with small pores (it is better to use an old sponge), white varnish and any color with or without sparkles:
- paint the nails with a base colorless varnish;
- on a small piece of foil with a brush, draw two stripes: white and colored in such a way that one slightly overlaps the other;
- take a piece of sponge and soak it with this mixture of varnishes;
- print the result on one of the nails;
- again apply varnishes on the foil and repeat the procedure;
- dry the nails; it doesn’t matter if the coating is not too even, it will be covered with a finishing varnish;
- dry the nails and admire the result.
Delicate French trim Advice! It is better to dilute dried varnish not with acetone, but with a special agent. In this case, the composition will turn out to be of better quality and homogeneous.
Stylized (designer) white jacket with drawings and rhinestones
A white jacket with a design (photo) is another type of French manicure. Therefore, if the standard options seem too boring for you, decorate your nails with any kind of drawings and lay them out with shimmering pebbles. Their tips can be made in the form of the simplest small peas or randomly arranged lines, as well as compositions consisting of the most complex patterns: flowers, images and animals. On your nails, if you wish (if, of course, the chosen style allows it), you can even depict portraits. Moreover, the longer the nails, the more space for creativity. But do not overdo it - after all, naturalness is in trend in 2018.
Rhinestones and drawings perfectly complement the classic jacket. Its characteristic feature is the wide use of various types of finishes - from elegant lace to gold and silver foil. 
Advice! To create the simplest drawings in the form of dots or stripes, it is not necessary to have a special brush. It is enough to arm yourself with a toothpick or a needle of a suitable size.
