Types of french on short nails
French manicure migrated to us from Hollywood. Several decades ago, on the set, there were problems with the daily manicure for diverse actresses. We had to constantly redo them so that they were combined with an outfit. Then Jeff Pink, at the request of his friend, developed a new type of manicure - French.
Traditionally, the nail plate was covered with pastel-colored varnish, and the edge of the nail was painted white in the shape of a crescent.
But, due to the constant development of nail art and the emergence of a variety of products for creating a manicure, as well as a variety of techniques, there were other types of french. French manicure can be:
- Monophonic or color;
- With an image;
- With gradient (ombre);
- With sparkles, rhinestones, etc.
Classical
Classic French manicure - This is a universal option that suits girls at any age. In the basic version, the nail is covered with a flesh-colored lacquer, which is as close to natural as possible. A rounded shape is formed along the edge of the nail, which is often called the "smile" line. It is covered in white. Finished finger paint transparent lacquer as the finish.
Manicure should be neat and smooth. Classic French manicure can be done on any length of nails, but on short it looks most natural.

Brave girls can afford to arrange each finger in a different color, thereby making the image more bright and summer.
With drawings
French with pattern makes nails much more elegant, and therefore less versatile. Different techniques are used to create drawings and various images. They can be abstract, with ornament, geometry, floral patterns, etc.

- Apply moisturizing mask;
- To carry out procedures with skin care and peeling;

Nails need not only to be painted, but also to regularly file, cut, remove the cuticle, etc. The beautiful shape of the nails can also be achieved at home if time is allowed for correction.
French strips should be applied with great care. They must be neat and symmetrical. An oblique strip, even on one nail, can spoil the impression of all manicure.
No need to lift the stripes too high. On natural short nails it will look unnatural and visually make the nail shorter. In order for the white line to look beautiful on the nails, you need to position the strip so that it reflects the bend of the cuticle.
The more the cuticle is curved, the deeper the “smile”. If the strip for french too direct, then the "smile" can be painted with a flat brush.
