French manicure has been known to fashionistas since the 30s. He appeared at the request of the Hollywood creators of the "dream factory." Actresses needed a manicure that would fit all outfits at once. Jack Pink considered the task of the bosses and came to the conclusion that it would be impossible to find anything better than the natural beauty of the nail plate. So, he covered the bed close to a natural peach shade, and painted the free edge with white. The presentation took place in France, which gave the name nail art.
Over time, French manicure acquired a variety of application options. Instead of white, they use other colors, paint the bed in bright shades, add decorative elements, mark the nail on the ring or middle fingers, filling the entire plate with varnish.
In the article, we will consider how to make a black jacket with rhinestones at home. This is an elegant manicure that will suit an evening dress of any color. Black and white colors are considered neutral and basic, so they blend perfectly with other shades.
The presented photos of a black jacket with rhinestones on nails will help you pick up an original idea for your nail art. Many novice masters consider French manicure difficult and hesitate to try to apply such a pattern on their nails. We will prove the opposite to you. French can easily be done independently if you know the subtleties of its application.
Preparing a nail for manicure
Before creating a black jacket with rhinestones, it is necessary to prepare the nail plates for work. This is carried out in several stages:
- First of all, it is necessary to get rid of the remains of the previous application. If this is a regular varnish, it is removed with a sponge moistened with acetone-free varnish remover, so as not to damage the surface of the plate itself and the skin surrounding the nail. If the previous application was carried out with gel polish, then you will need a special tool that is applied to the tampon and is fixed for some time on the nails with either clothespins or foil. With a hardware manicure, it is cleaned with a grinding nozzle. This is the fastest and most effective way.
- To remove the cuticle, the nails are either soaked for a while in water, or use special oil. These methods soften the skin at the base of the nail and are easier to clean. If the nails are running, then carefully remove the cuticle from the plate with an orange stick and remove it with nail scissors or using the nozzle of the device.

- The next action is to give the nails a beautiful shape with a nail file. Experienced craftsmen advise moving it in one direction to avoid delamination of the plate and brittle nails.
Grinding nails is carried out by buff. This is a special brick-shaped sponge that is sold in nail aesthetics stores. A very thin layer of abrasive material is applied to its surface. Processing is carried out with light movements, while all the smallest protruding points are removed from the plate. The nail acquires a perfectly flat surface and is fully prepared for applying black jacket with rhinestones.
Simple french
One of the options for applying French manicure is considered to stroke the edges at an even angle. First of all, paint the entire nail with a nude shade. Let the nails dry thoroughly. Then stick pieces of tape on the plate at an angle and paint the very edge with black. When the varnish is completely dry, the adhesive tape is carefully removed. If necessary, trim the edges with a thin brush. If you get straight lines without improvised means, then such a service jacket can only be done with a brush. Make sure that the angle of inclination on all plates is the same.
On the ring finger, decorate the manicure with one round pebble. In this case, stick it with special glue.
If you carry out a black jacket (manicure) with rhinestones with gel polish, then first treat the plate with a degreaser, primer and apply a base layer, which is dried under a UV lamp for 2 minutes. Then covered with a layer of peach-colored gel polish and dried thoroughly. Further work is carried out with a black coating of the edges of the nails. Rhinestones are attached at the end. You can apply them on still wet black varnish and dry them together under the lamp, and then cover them all together with a top layer, or you can put a base point at the end and drown pebbles in it. After final drying, it is firmly fixed.
Manicure "smile" with decor

Then the edges of the three marigolds are painted black, giving a semicircular smile. This is a classic version of French manicure, which is easy to do with stickers. The remaining two nails are painted with a brush.
On the ring finger, the plate is covered with thin lines on which small dots are placed by the dots. Pinky's fingernail is decorated with roses. You can draw them yourself or use stamps or regular stickers. After drying the gel polish under the lamp, it will remain to attach rhinestones, putting the points of the base layer in the selected places. In order for the pebbles to be fixed more firmly and held longer on the nails, all together you can cover it with a top layer and finally dry it under ultraviolet rays.
