Features of classic French manicure
French is considered classic when the free edge of the nail plate is painted with white varnish, and the base is camouflaged in natural shades: pastel, pink, peach.
French manicure is popular with girls and women due to its versatility. It works great for both short and long nails. Moreover, the shape of the nail plate can also be almost any. If you want to bring zest to the classic jacket, you can use various decor options. In any case, with a French manicure, your hands will always look well-groomed, beautiful, neat.
French for different lengths of nails
Short
Short, neat nails are the perfect base for this design option. In addition to the attractive appearance, the manicure is convenient and practical, easy to perform. It suits almost any outfit, combined with both youth and discreet classic wardrobe.
To make the overall picture look harmonious and neat, you need to take care of the condition of the cuticle and nail plate. If the cuticle is unkempt, rough, overgrown, the effect of an elegant jacket will come to naught. Therefore, a neat, moisturized, properly removed cuticle is the first thing to look for when creating a nail design. For everyday care, it is advisable to use a special cuticle oil, which should be used to treat the skin at least 1-2 times a day.
Long
French on long nails looks impressive and stylish. Thanks to its versatility, the design looks great at any time of the year, be it cold winters or hot summers. It focuses on the length of the nail plate, so be careful with additional designs in the form of rhinestones, sparkles, patterns. If you want to add zest and dilute the classics with bright accents, decorate one nail. Thanks to this approach, the design will not lose its characteristic features, and at the same time, it will look more presentational.
French for different shapes - don't be afraid to experiment
Almonds
Almond-shaped nails transform hands instantly, making them more refined and graceful, feminine. However, the almond shape is not suitable for every girl. The trend is common among fashionistas who do not haveany weight problems. The fact is that on chubby fingers, all the charm and grace of almond shapes are lost, while the upper part looks disproportionately thin compared to the lower one.
Sharp nails
On long sharp nails, only two varieties of the "smile" line look harmonious:
- classic oval;
- triangle.
Nail masters do not advise experimenting with design and decor, because sharp nails focus on the original shape and length.
Square
The square shape looks equally attractive on both long and short nails. French manicure on squares always looks elegant and stylish. Most suitable for them are the shape of the "smile" line in the form of an oval or triangle.
