Manicure fashion is constantly changing at an incredible speed, color preferences and shapes are changing. But there are trends that only become more popular over the years, and one of them is French manicure. An ordinary French manicure consists of neatly filed nails with a soft pink coating and a line of snow-white “holes” along the edge.
This type of manicure was first used by French models because it was practical and suitable for any look. French has been winning the hearts of many women with its versatility and diversity for more than 30 years. French is appropriate in everyday style, on weekdays, at parties and dates. Its elegance and at the same time restraint attracts lovers of nail art more than other types of gel coating.
If you often change your looks, a French jacket is just the perfect option for you. By wearing a formal suit in the morning and a chic evening dress in the evening, you won’t have to worry about the problem of a universal manicure, because a French manicure will suit both occasions.
Since the simple French style has long been a classic of nail art, designers every year develop new interesting versions of this classic.
About fashionable French nail design of the classic version 2021
The classic version of the French manicure involves applying a transparent or pale pink coating to the base of the nail, and white color to the “hole” area. This is the main condition for performing a classic fashionable French manicure.
A classic French jacket will always be appropriate
For 2021, as in previous years, naturalness will be the main trend; the main thing here is not imagination or creativity, but careful execution and the right combination of shades. So it is recommended to use natural shades of varnishes and the most convenient form for yourself.
Incredible and interesting fact about French manicure
It turns out that the name “French” manicure has nothing to do with France and the history of the country. This type of design has its roots in California. French was created for Hollywood actresses. After all, it can easily be combined with various types of outfits. Therefore, it is perfect for any shooting scene. The beautiful name “French manicure” is a marketing trick. It’s also a great way to sell versatile, easy-to-use home manicure kits.
About chevron
Perhaps, besides the classic French manicure, the most popular type of French manicure is the chevron. Its essence lies in the brightness and diversity of colors than in the standard nail version. The nail plate is decorated with broken lines or diamond-shaped stripes of different, preferably contrasting, colors.
Chevron manicure will be an unusual solution
A chevron is made quite simply: a base color is applied to the nail, then stencils with stripes are glued on and painted over with a different color. Since the geometric print does not lose its trends, the chevron is still relevant.
French with foil
Foil is one of the most fashionable nail decorations this year and next year. The easiest way to use it is to highlight the free edge of the nail plate. You can also decorate the nail plate or nail hole with foil, making it shiny. And besides this, individual fingers are highlighted with foil, rather than decorating everything. One of the interesting trends is matte foil. It goes well with matte gel polish. You can also experiment with gold leaf foil - it perfectly imitates gold leaf.
About the millennium

What nails are French nails ideal for?
There is no answer to this question because French is such a versatile option and will look good on any nail shape, be it rectangular or oval. But often French is done on oval nails, which makes it both more feminine and neat. This shape can lengthen your fingers and make them more graceful. It doesn’t matter whether the nails themselves are long or not.
How to choose the right uniform for a French jacket?
For nails with a square shape, French is also perfect. A French jacket with them will look aesthetically pleasing and well-groomed. This shape is also suitable for girls with narrow and long fingers.
With a round shape, the French jacket looks exactly like oval ones. This nail shape is best chosen by girls with wide palms and large fingers. It is best if the nails are short (a couple of millimeters from the edge of the nail).
