Masters of nail art unanimously speak of the French version of manicure as the most popular and sought-after design. This is not surprising, because it harmoniously combines with any clothes and is appropriate in every situation. In addition, this technique emphasizes the natural beauty of nails, creates the effect of grooming and accuracy. Like any classic, French manicure has become a kind of platform for variations on the theme of abandoning the standard white tip in favor of the color: rainbow-colored jacket, with rhinestones, decorated with casting or foil, complemented by drawings. The mass of options, the choice is limited only by the wishes of the client and the abilities of the master.
Plenty of room for imagination
French with rhinestones can be beaten with color, shape of crystals, their number and location, adding auxiliary materials (broths, mesh, dried flowers). Depending on the general concept, such a design can be restrained, casual or elegant, festive or even extravagant, shocking. Moreover, it is equally good on both long and medium nails, it should be used carefully only on very short manicures. Nails decorated in this way will perfectly complement the image of the bride: a white jacket with rhinestones and a lace pattern looks solemn and gentle.
Yourself a master
Even if you don’t have the opportunity to regularly trust your hands to a manicurist, do not despair, the jacket with rhinestones is available in home execution. It will require a set for French manicure (two varnishes: white and natural tones, strips to create a smile), a fixing agent and, in fact, rhinestones. File your nails, giving them the shape that is most suitable for your hands, remove the cuticle. Then cover the nail plate with background varnish. One or two layers - will depend on the tool used and the expected result. When the background is completely dry, glue the stencils, forming the future jacket, with rhinestones it will attract increased attention, so pay maximum attention to this moment. The white strip can be very narrow, which is preferable for short nails, or wide. However, it should not exceed 1/3 of the length of the entire plate, otherwise a caricature option will turn out. Stencils should be pressed tightly to avoid leakage of varnish. When done, paint over the tips, let them dry completely and remove the patterns. Usually, those who do these manipulations for the first time, the smile line is slightly uneven, you can hide minor flaws with glitter varnish (with sparkles). Apply a good layer of fixative and drown the rhinestone in it in the place where it should be according to your idea, wait for drying and cover the entire nail again. Small pebbles fixed in this way usually hold well, but if your jacket with rhinestones involves the use of larger pieces, you will have to glue them with a special glue for tips. The rest of the technique does not change. It is strictly forbidden to use any other types of glue such as "Second", "Dragon" and others. This could result in a nail injury or chemical burn.
Having mastered this design, you can experiment with the colors of the varnish, and then you can decorate your nails every time in different ways. Although with all the diversity, all this is a manicure "jacket with rhinestones." Photos from special magazines can suggest interesting ideas.
