And, by the way, the choice of manicure sometimes causes sufficient difficulties. A lunar jacket will suit those who can not decide on the existing types of design. This is the last peep of fashion!

What it is?

Lunar jacket - this is the original French manicure, where the smile line stands out not from the free edge, but near the cuticle. This kind of design got its name because of the location. Lulula is a small, up to 2 mm, area of the nail near the cuticle, which is clearly visible to the naked eye.

When did it become popular?

Initially, a lunar jacket appeared at the end of the last century, but it was quickly forgotten, as the nail industry underwent significant changes. But just a few years ago, he again became fashionable. Dita von Teese, a well-known retro lover, began to decorate his nails. Lunar jacket at the same time began to appear more often at models of world podiums. And this kind of design has revived in modern times.

Classic Edition

There are only two large categories of this kind of manicure on the color scale - classic and color lunar nail art. It was the first option that was in demand in the thirties of the last century. What is he like? Lulula is not varnished, remaining a natural shade, while the rest of the nail plate is highlighted in bright colors. Lunar jacket (photo above) in the classical version is done quite simply.

Technology execution

For manicure will require only a few components:

• Bright varnish;
• Base and top;
• Stencils for the jacket.

If necessary, the nails are first filed or cut. After this, a transparent, quick-drying base is coated with a very thin layer. When it dries and stops sticking, glue the stencil. This is done in the same way as with the usual classical French manicure, only near the cuticle, and not at the free edge. The nail plate is covered with a bright varnish. If necessary, then in two or three layers. When the varnish dries, the stencil is removed. The ready lunar jacket is covered with top. Or clear varnish if there is no special fixer.

This kind of design is performed in two colors: one for the lunula, another for the nail bed. The colored lunar jacket (photo above) became popular just a few years ago - in 2009. And it looks amazing. Masters of the nail service every time try to improve this manicure. Lunar jacket (photos are given as an example of possible color combinations) is made just as simple as the classical version.

Double Moon Design

Yes, there is such. Double moon jacket. How to make it yourself? What is he like? First of all, this is the French manicure, where the free edge and the lulula stand out in a separate color. It is noteworthy that this type of design is suitable only for owners of long nails. It is completely inappropriate on a small and wide nail plate, as it will make it even shorter and wider. Double design exists in monochrome and color. However, each of them should be appropriate and acceptable.

For a manicure you will need two colored varnishes and stencils. The top and the base remain mandatory, since no design can do without them. When the marigolds are prepared, they are covered with a colored varnish. Only then the stencils are glued to the dry layer: at the free edge and at the cuticle. They are covered with a second colored varnish. Usually one shade. Although some are not averse to experimenting, choosing different colors for this. Again, if the length of the nails allows. The finished design is fixed with a top after removal of the stencils. Double lunar jacket is popular with owners of nails.

Is it worth it to do?

Each girl decides what kind of manicure she needs to do. And the lunar design is to the liking of quite a few ladies. Firstly, it is quite refined and original. Secondly, it is easy. Thirdly, the nails of even a small length look spectacular. However, it is worth taking care with this design. Lulula should not be highlighted very strongly, otherwise the nails will look even shorter and wider than they actually are. Pattern stencils are used when boring and classic rounded already bore. Or when the length of the nail plate allows. Ornaments are added at will. However, it is worth remembering that everything is good in moderation: the more elements of decor, the alyapisty and vulgar will look like a manicure. That's why masters try to focus only on one or two fingers. It does not overload the composition, making it harmonious and elegant.
