For many decades, French manicure has been considered an unshakable and immortal classic. Sooner or later, all women give preference to him, regardless of age, profession or taste. Recently, the so-called gradient on the nails has come into fashion. And the first type of nail art that has undergone a change is a French manicure. Ombre is a new technique in which a smooth transition from white to solid is created. all this looks incredibly gentle, feminine and original.
Execution technique
In fact, there is no single technique for performing a French ombre manicure. Here, as they say, each master adapts independently, choosing the most suitable tools for himself. In most cases, color stretching is done using a small pore sponge. In such cases, the dye consumption is minimal, and the transition from white to solid turns out to be very gentle and smooth. Also, a flat brush is often taken into service. She erases the border between the colors and forms a gradient. Separately, it is worth noting that in rare cases, French manicure in its classic version is done without body varnish. Nails are coated with a colorless coating and only their tips are painted over. If under such conditions you want to make a French ombre manicure, then white will simply be reduced to the base of the nail to "no", dissipated. The result is also very original.
Gradient classic
French ombre manicure was originally made on the basis of the classic version. It’s just that the masters decided to wash away the clear boundary between the body base and the white tips and a new work of art was obtained. The most interesting thing is that in this type of nail art you can play with flowers. You can focus on beige (or pink), and a smooth transition to white will be made closer to the tip of the marigold. This technique is most suitable for short nails. The second option is to bet on white, and bodily note only the basis. This type of french ombre manicure (photo see below) is much more suitable for overgrown nails.
Give yourself a holiday
Often, in honor of the holidays, girls prefer to do French manicures, changing the usual nude varnish to shiny. As a result, the nails are completely covered with a flickering pigment, and only their edges are distinguished, which remain snow-white. Glitter French ombre manicure is a kind of nail art, which is also considered a rarity. Nails painted in this way look magical, fabulous and evoke a sense of celebration and celebration. It is important to note that in this technique there are some features that distinguish it from the standard jacket. Nail polish is applied to the nail as a base, and the spangles completely cover the tip of the nail, disappearing at its root.
Caramel motifs
Caramel shade in nail art - a bold decision. Despite the fact that the color is considered pastel and even light, it emphasizes even the smallest errors in the work of the master, moreover, it makes small wounds, burrs and other defects, if any, more noticeable. In a caramel shade, a French ombre manicure is a real “bomb” that will look unique and very original. It is worth remembering that this tone will look most advantageous on long nails. The gradient to brown shades in itself is very bright and unique, but if you add it with rhinestones or drawings, then nail art will be really chic and luxurious.
For lovers of white
Many girls like to paint their nails in white. But this tone requires extreme caution, it is much more moody than red and black. In order to make such nail art more unique that they just didn’t come up with - moon design, sparkles, rhinestones, drawings. But we offer the most delicate and touching solution to the issue - a white French ombre manicure. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that the white color extends from the tip of the nail to its root and only slightly diffuses, and does not turn into nude or pink. It is noteworthy that such nail art can be performed on one layer of the base coat, without the use of colored varnish. Also, if you are looking for a manicure for short nails, a white French ombre will be one of the best solutions. Visually, it will even lengthen the nail plate and make your fingers slimmer.
Without rubbing nowhere
A shining pigment that can cover absolutely any color of shellac is called rubbing. A new trend in the beauty industry is considered to be applied to French manicure, made using the ombre technique. With this approach, it becomes more expressive, vibrant, and at the same time remains tender and bright. Most often, a pearl rub is applied over a french jacket with a gradient. It only shimmers slightly and gives the nails a touch of light mother of pearl. An important aspect - pearl pigment makes the coating lighter, even whitish, and this applies not only to white varnish, but also to nude (or pink). This solution looks especially advantageous on tanned skin. But for the New Year, such a manicure will be a great choice.
In the cold palette
Throughout its history, French manicure has undergone many metamorphoses. Initially, the nude color began to vary in pink, brown and other pastel colors. Later a fundamentally new trend appeared - a black jacket. Resin shade varnish could cover both the base of the nail and its top. Then the masters thought at all - why confine themselves to a monochrome gamut, and began to make French using red, green, pink and blue tones. It was the latter in this technique that turned out to be the most common and demanded. At first, only the “tops” of the marigolds were covered in a blue tone, leaving the base white or beige. But then they decided to “stretch” it and turned out a French ombre in blue tones. This solution is a godsend for the winter holidays. The manicure looks like it was invented by the snow queen herself. It is noteworthy that the most advantageous blue color in stretch marks looks against the background of an unpainted nail, that is, it is applied to the base. Such varnish can be either glossy or contain a shimmer to create an even more festive and magical look.
Change of places of terms
This type of nail art, of course, can hardly be called French manicure. However, the technique for its implementation is no different from the French ombre technique, only colors change. At the root, the nail is filled with a black tint, and the tips gradually turn into beige. Only at first glance, such a gradient is very aggressive - in fact, this is one of the most restrained and sophisticated solutions for nails. Firstly, the pastel palette is preserved, and the black tone gives the image only a little severity. And secondly, this is an ideal solution not only for long, but also for short nails. Visually, they become more elongated and the fingers seem slimmer.
For lovers of luxury and sparkle
Rhinestones have long ceased to be the prerogative of weddings, birthdays and other holidays. Women use them when they paint nails in dark colors, when they do moon manicure or French. Often we see overkill with this element of decor, especially if ala-diamonds show off on a pink or red background. But a reasonable amount of strassiks based on the French gradient manicure is what you need to create the image of a real princess. Such nail art is especially relevant for a wedding, for the New Year or for another important celebration. French ombre manicure with rhinestones is best done using the standard colors for this procedure - beige and white. "Diamonds" can be placed on each finger, but little by little, but you can focus a large number of those on the nameless. If the master correctly performs his work, then such a miracle will be able to hold on to the nails long enough and in some way extend your holiday.
To summarize
Ombre is a manicure technique that requires the use of two colors. Therefore, the basis for its implementation has long been the beloved French manicure. The smooth transition from beige and pink to snow-white allowed women to create incredibly delicate and elegant nail art. Most importantly, such a gradient looks very good in itself, and in combination with various types of design. It can be rubbing, rhinestones or even drawings and ornaments. In addition, we learned that ombre can be performed not only with white and flesh colors. Here any shade of the palette can be involved, up to caramel and even black. Such solutions for nails look trendy and very bold, but remain restrained and refined.
