What do you need for a French manicure?

In specialized stores, you can purchase ready-made sets for performing French manicure in advance, or you can prepare the materials separately. The arsenal for work will require:

  1. Materials for processing nails: nail file, oil for processing and removing cuticles;

Preparation phase

The first step in home manicure is the preparation of nails and hands. French manicure is no exception, because on well-groomed handles any manicure looks much neater.

So, first you need to remove the old varnish from the nails, give them a shape and correct the length. After that, the surface should be degreased. nail plate... This can be done with a cotton pad and nail polish remover, but only without acetone. Now you can make a bath. The chamomile bath has a wonderful soothing effect, and its use will also soften the cuticles and strengthen the nails. A bath with essential oil... It is better not to shorten the time for the procedure, at least 15-20 minutes. At the end of the procedure, hands are well dried with a towel.

Now, after the skin has steamed, you can push back the cuticle with a stick or pushero, and carefully cut off the existing burrs with nail tweezers. It is important, even at home, the tools used must be disinfected in an alcohol solution. Finally, after the complete removal of rough skin and cuticles, the nails are covered with a protective base to strengthen and preserve the applied varnish for a longer period of time, or simply polished with a nail file.


Stages of manicure

After the procedure for the care and design of the nails, they proceed directly to the execution of the French manicure. To complete it, you can use one of the proposed options.

The first is using stickers

In the first embodiment of such a manicure, a base varnish of a selected beige, pink or generally transparent color is applied to the nails. It can be applied in one layer, and for a more intense color and dense coverage in two. Let the varnish dry well. Then we glue the strips equally on all nails in such a way as to leave the tip free. It is important to apply the stickers to your nails in such a way that they all have the same thickness and a beautiful, uniform curve. The strip should not be too thin, but it is also undesirable to make it thick, as this will visually shorten the manicure, the optimal thickness is 5 mm. In conclusion, we cover the tip of the nail left behind the strip with two layers of white varnish, let it dry and remove the stickers.


The last step is to cover the nails with a transparent fixative varnish, this will hide the roughness, add shine and fix the manicure. A good alternative to special strips for manicure can be regular stationery tape or even duct tape.

The second option with a brush

If you have the skills to work with a brush, and there are no problems with drawing, then you can do a French manicure with a brush. In this case, the process proceeds, as it were, from the opposite. First, white varnish is gently applied to the tips of the nails, and then using a wide brush, previously soaked in nail polish remover, you need to make a beautiful smile. If necessary, outline the edge by applying a strip with a thin brush. Cover the nail with protection from above.


Varieties of French manicure

Modern technologies do not stop at the classic French manicure, today it can be done in any version suitable for every fashionista.

The classic jacket is characterized by the fact that it has a neutral color base on the nail and a white tip. Fan-french is distinguished by its brightness, since the tip of the nail plate in this case is painted with colored varnish. The smile is performed mainly on a solemn occasion because it is covered in sparkles. The twist edge is distinguished by the pattern at the tip and is characterized by its non-standard options.

Classic French manicure is a pink shade of the nail surface and a neatly drawn smile line at the tip. If you are not using a camouflage tone, then be prepared that after three or four days the nail will begin to grow back and the crescent will move.

Although this uncomplicated masterpiece was called a jacket, the origins, oddly enough, have American roots. Smile nail design appeared in Hollywood in 1976. And it is not surprising, because the actors change their images in one day, and the manicure rarely harmonizes with the general appearance... Because of this, we decided to create a universal design called a jacket.
