Classic white jacket

More than 30 years ago, an American entrepreneur, owner of a cosmetics company, Jeff Pink, came up with a very original idea a unique manicure that would fit perfectly with any women's outfit- from elegant evening to everyday city. This design appealed primarily 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: the 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, designed in this way, turned out.

This type of manicure received the name “French” a little later, when Pink, before a fashion show in Paris, suggested that one of the models shade the tips of her nails with a bright white color. From this day on, the position of the French became even stronger. Today, white French manicure is the same as small black dress, has become the standard of femininity and impeccable style.




Advice! Before applying clear polish to your nails, try whitening them with a special pencil. With regular use, the minerals included in the composition will additionally strengthen the nails.

Lunar white and reverse Frenchie

It is believed that the idea of ​​​​coating the tips of the nails with contrasting varnish, 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 actually resembles the moon in shape) has also become a classic.



Today, lunar 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.

Reverse French looks very unusual, in which the main area of ​​the 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, and also use silver and gold compounds in this type of nail design. Of course, you can replace white with any other shade. However, today we will talk specifically about the jacket, in which this color plays a dominant role.



Advice! Even very short nails can be styled as a French manicure. The contrast 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 French.

Execution technique

We will need two types of varnish, one of which is white, and the second - any contrasting one. We will also need:

  • a file with a coarse abrasive to give the nail plates the desired shape;
  • cuticle tweezers;
  • a file with fine abrasive for polishing nails;
  • transparent base varnish, which can also be used as a finishing varnish;
  • a thin brush for painting or a special stencil for French manicure.




After carefully processing the cuticle, filing the tips of the nails and polishing them, we proceed directly to creating a French jacket. If you have some experience, you can simply draw it freehand with a brush. But today we will learn how to do a French white manicure using stencils. They can be purchased at the store or cut with scissors from regular tape.

So let's get started:

  • degrease the nails with a cleanser (water-alcohol solution) or nail polish remover;
  • cover them with a transparent base varnish and let it dry well;
  • Now you need 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 ​​the hole; depending on the chosen option, carefully paste the stencil into the desired area; in order for the line to be perfectly even, it should extend slightly onto the skin;
  • pick up a regular varnish brush and paint 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 overlaps the previous stroke;
  • dry the nails;
  • We take the colorless finishing varnish in our hands and fix the result;
  • To make the composition last longer, we try to paint not only the horizontal surface, but also the cut area of ​​the nail; for this, the brush should go slightly under it.




Advice! After polishing the nail plates with a file with a fine abrasive, the varnish lasts much longer.

Hollywood manicure

For the first time, this type of nail art was demonstrated by Christian Dior fashion models at one of the shows. Its main difference is thin line, passing along the smile line. In its classic form, it separates the main part of the nail plate from the overgrown nail or the edges of the hole. When performing an asymmetrical French (sometimes called an anti-French), its position and shape can change and be arbitrary.



The color of this stripe and its width also vary. Depending on the idea, it can be done not only with varnish, but also with foil or even rhinestones.

Advice! The original lunar manicure, unfortunately, has one feature - it can visually shorten the nail plate. Therefore, if it is too wide, it is better to use a classic French 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 glitter or fine metal dust. This type of design is ideal for dinner parties or holiday parties. It’s not difficult to make, and the white French on your nails (see photo) looks very original!



Be sure to pay attention to formulations designed to create the “cat's eye” effect. In addition to the varnish itself, the kit includes small magnets of a special shape. When you bring them to your half-dry nails, the smallest particles of metal line up in bizarre patterns. After covering with this varnish, the edges of your nails will visually acquire 3D volume and will shimmer with every movement.

Advice! A high-quality varnish should not drag on the brush, but also not be too liquid. Be sure to also check its color on a special tester. After all, the shade of the polish applied to the nails is always different from the color of the bottle itself.

Twist French

To the latest news white jacket(photo) refers to 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 hole area 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. The black and white stripe running along the edges of the nails, combined with their decoration with small shimmering stones and broths, looks very unusual.

Advice! Applying polish to wet nails is not recommended. Otherwise, it will crack when it dries.

Custom shape

Indeed, why is it necessary to paint the tips of your nails only in the standard way? Modern fashionistas have long modified the shape of the usual French manicure: the white French manicure 2018 can be deep with a very wide smile line, have the shape of an asymmetrical arc, a stripe running almost across the nail, consist of several lines, a combination of triangles, squares, waves, broken lines, etc. d. This type of nail art is convenient because it can be matched to any outfit.




Individual nail plates can be decorated in a similar way. For example, 2-3 of them have the appearance of a classic French jacket, and 1-2 asymmetrical 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 shiny varnish, while the main part remains matte.

  • drawings and rhinestones, etc.



Advice! Glossy and pearlescent varnishes are best used in summer period or to create evening looks. Matte varnishes are ideal for cold seasons.

White French ombre

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 glitter:

  • paint your nails with a base colorless varnish;
  • on a small piece of foil with a brush we draw two stripes: white and colored so that one slightly overlaps the other;
