French manicure: the classic is always in fashion

The French manicure is an old good classic: it is elegant, always in fashion and perfect for any occasion. The french brand name, as the French manicure is called, is the white tip of the nail, decorated with a spatula or in the form of a smile. For traditional French manicure is used light beige or soft pink varnish.

A purely classic French jacket, the characteristic feature of which is the white free edge, is obtained if one of three common methods is used. The simplest is to cover the nail varnished with a special varnish for the French manicure. You can apply and the extension of the tip of the gel or acrylic. There is also a third way to create such a manicure, which consists in gluing a special type, already having the look of a jacket, with subsequent coating of the material ..

The idea of creating a jacket belongs to Jeff Pink, the founder of ORLY, who sought to make such manicures for actresses, so that he could approach different suits. He also came up with the name of a manicure. French has very quickly gained popularity all over the world - knowingly France at all times was a trendsetter!

French manicure can be done in beauty salons, but with the help of special devices that are sold in the store, it's easy to make at home. Nails before the manicure immerse the tub to cuticle softened, then carefully remove it. After that, they start a manicure.

French manicure is done according to the pattern, but it is possible and by hand. First prepared nails are covered with a colorless base. When the base dries well, a white matte varnish is applied to the tip of the nail . Apply the varnish first to the middle of the nail, and then distribute it to the edges. But you can apply the varnish by moving the brush from the edge to the middle first from the right side, then from the left. With a fine brush and acetone, remove excess. Then the nail is covered with pink or beige lacquer, and after drying, a lacquer is applied. The consistency of all varnishes should be approximately the same. Templates for a jacket not only greatly simplify the task, but also make it possible to get a "smile" more clear.

Now the jacket has become more diverse. For example, the traditional white color of the edge of the nail can be replaced by other colors, and the tip of the nail is sometimes decorated with rhinestones and patterns. Today, the classic French jacket has new modifications - it's a jacket-millennium, a fan-french, a colored and non-standard French, a jacket with sparkles.
There are many kinds of jacket, but all of them have a common feature: only the tip of the nail is covered, that is, only the free edge line is closed. Used also as a varnish with sparkles to create a unique pattern.

So if the original French-millenium is performed, the free edge is laid out with micro dust or sparkles, or simply with shiny varnishes. In this case, if the sequins are laid out on the extended nails, they should be sufficiently dense and not large, otherwise the edge of the natural nail will shine through them.

When performing a colored jacket, the free edge is laid out of a material of a different color or painted with a colored varnish, and it is quite acceptable to use several colors with smooth transitions or without them.

If a fan-french is performed, the tip of the nail, decorated with various materials, remains transparent, and the nail bed is opaque. To perform this kind of jacket, often used foil, rhinestones, mica, dried flowers, pieces of acrylic and others. Interesting is the combined use of different materials.

A non-standard French can be made by any of these types, differs only in a different form of the smile line, that is, it can be both classical, and colored, and a fan-jacket, but it will necessarily differ in shape. But at any kind the tip of the nail should be different from the nail bed.
