The selected camouflage composition is carefully applied and baked in layers.

French or French manicure has been the most popular type of nail design for 100 years. Deliberately introduced by Hollywood make-up artists, the technique conquers women and, importantly, attracts the eyes of men, as a compromise between aesthetics and naturalness. French gel polish (shellac) is the best nail art option for everyday life: a long-lasting coating that goes well with any wardrobe. And NeoNail products are a guarantee that the coating will look perfect for the entire period of wear.

French manicure with gel polish: a modern interpretation of the classics of nail art

Gel polish did not have a chance to remain unclaimed. The coating withstands significant loads and prevents breakage of the nail plate itself. And given that manufacturers are constantly replenishing the already existing variety of colors, it becomes obvious that the peak of demand has not yet been passed. And it is the durability of the coating that largely determines the choice of nail art with gel polish: not every woman can afford to walk for 20 days with a bright painting or an abundance of rhinestones. The appearance and availability of gel polishes brought the fashion for coating using the French manicure technique to a new round: a white free edge against the background of an imitation of a natural nail bed is a slightly embellished naturalness, appropriate in any situation.

Classic french gel polish: necessary materials and tools

One of the advantages of gel polish is the ability to do it on your own and not spend money on the services of a manicurist. Even a jacket, which is considered a rather complicated technique, can be done independently, knowing the working methods and having the necessary set of tools.

Required:

  • UV or LED lamp. High power is not necessary: ​​any NeoNail lamp is suitable for gel polish. Only the polymerization time will depend on the type of light wave.
  • Base coat from a series of gel polishes. NeoNail collections provide freedom of choice: suitable for "capricious" nails, for thin ones -. Both formulas are self-levelling and guarantee good resistance.
  • a finishing coat that provides not only a brilliant shine, but also protection against abrasion and scratches. Masters can endlessly argue about tastes, proving the advantages of the composition with or without a sticky layer, so NeoNail has taken care of both. All possible finishes are available: with a dispersion layer and TOP DRY, ultra-glossy compositions and giving the surface a soft satin velvety gloss, crystal clear and tinted with micro-glitters - the choice is only up to the master.
  • Camouflage (flesh or natural pink) gel polish for the nail bed area and white for the free edge. For beginners, you can stop at the version of the jacket without camouflage, leaving only a transparent base on the nail bed. This will eliminate popular mistakes when applying color along the cuticle line. Unfortunately, this method is only suitable for long nail beds, which do not require full color coverage. In order to cover the natural smile line with a short nail bed, dense covering colors are needed. you should pay attention to the romantic pink tone, cast with cold highlights and classic peach. All three options fit perfectly without “bald spots” and will not cause trouble even for a novice master.
  • - a primer that degreases the nail plate and enhances the adhesion of keratin scales with artificial coating. This composition prevents delamination and provides resistance to the material.
  • - liquid to remove the sticky layer. Adhesive highlights are a feature of the entire gel system: when working with gel polish using the French technique, the same tool will be used to wash out the smile line. To simplify the work, it is worth preparing a small glass for the cleaner in advance.
  • Non-woven wipes for removing the sticky layer. You can use thin wet hygienic. The composition with which they are initially impregnated will not interfere with the work.
  • Stiff brush for washing out the smile line. A small “petal” is optimal.
  • Cuticle oil. This composition will not only tighten the skin and make its contour more neat, but also have a beneficial effect on the growth of nails under the coating and their condition after removal. will pleasantly surprise you with a variety of gentle unobtrusive aromas.

There are also few auxiliary tools needed for work: a file for processing the free edge and giving the necessary shape and a buff grinder for preparing the surface of the plate for coating.

French manicure technique with gel polish

To perform a French manicure with gel polish, the master will need 50-80 minutes. But this is with the condition that the coating is not done on your own nails. When working independently, time is inevitably lost when the layer on one hand is dried in a lamp, so you should put aside all your affairs in advance and ensure yourself peace. The work will consist of three stages: the first of them is preparation.

Having organized the workplace and prepared the materials listed above, you can get to work:

  • we file the free edge and give the nails the desired shape;
  • we process the cuticle in any way without maceration, since steaming will reduce the durability of the coating;
  • sanding the plate with a 100/180 grid buff;
  • remove all dirt with a cloth dampened in the cleaner.

At this stage, you need to make sure that the nails are perfectly cleaned: there are no traces of the compositions used on the surface, there are no hairs from cotton pads, which often removes varnish, and the free edge is absolutely uniform.

The second stage - coating:

  • a primer is applied to the prepared plate and its end;
  • when applying the base gel polish, the end of the nail is sealed;
  • the base gel, as a rule, polymerizes for 2 minutes in a UV lamp or 30 seconds in an LED device, but this point must be clarified in detail on the packaging of a specific material;
  • pre-selected camouflage composition is applied carefully so as not to hurt the cuticle and side rollers, and baked in layers.

You may have to apply camouflage in 2 layers: the main thing is that the coating lies flawlessly even. After baking these layers, the dispersion is removed: so the white gel polish will not stain from adhesive secretions and will leak less on the smile line. After removing the sticky layer with a napkin moistened with a cleaner, we prepare a brush and white gel polish for drawing a jacket. The quality of white is half the battle. Specially designed to highlight the free edge, it will form a perfect canvas from the first layer and close the butt well.

Making a flawless smile line "French White" No. 5055 from NeoNail is not as difficult as it seems:

  • apply white gel polish to the edge of the nail;
  • carefully seal the end;
  • we moisten the petal brush in the cleaner and, squeezing it on a clean napkin, “shift” the gel polish from the center of the smile line to the corners.

It is worth dwelling on this process in more detail: it is the main one in the procedure. A “dramatic” smile with high corners is in fashion. We put the tip of the petal brush on the center of the smile line, marking the required depth. Then we smoothly draw a line to the nail rollers and the brush will do everything itself: the cleaner will erase the excess white gel and form a “chiselled” edge. Having obtained the desired result, polymerize.

This procedure should be performed on each finger separately: by quickly baking the gel polish, you can prevent the line from running off. After completing the jacket, the sticky layer must be removed: this will show the shortcomings that can be corrected immediately.

If the coverage is satisfactory, you can apply a top gel. It evens out the surface and gives the whole manicure a glossy finish. A drop of oil on the cuticle at the last stage will be the final point.

Stenciled French: “For” and “Against”

An alternative way to draw a smile line is the stencil technique: before applying white, a frame is glued to the nail, which is removed before polymerization. Those who are considering this technique should know:

  • Fixing the stencils evenly, symmetrically and at the same distance from the free edge is not as easy as it seems. In the time spent trying, you can learn how to draw a line manually.
  • After removing the stencil, the line rarely remains perfect, adjustments will definitely be required.
  • The sticky layer of the stencil often remains on the coating, if it is not removed, the top gel will lie unevenly and sloppy. Additional cleaning of the surface also takes time.
  • The curve of all stencils of the set is the same, and the thumb and little finger nails require a unique line, taking into account the width of the plate.

Experienced masters make the perfect smile line in seconds: it is worth making an effort to master this skill and no longer think about assistive devices. Moreover, the latter rarely live up to expectations.

French types and new elements in the most popular coating

French classic - pink nail bed and white free edge. But to some, this decision may seem overly conservative. Small tricks will give the classics novelty and a touch of originality:

  • French "Beverly" means smoothing the contrast of flesh and white with a translucent coating. Pearl or slightly gleaming gel polishes or top coats with the addition of glitter pigment are used. The same technique masks the imperfections of both surfaces and lines.
  • Decorative jacket does not limit the choice of color. The free edge can be not only colored solid, but also a gradient or covered with a pattern.
  • A geometric jacket is made with a smile line in the form of a dovetail. The corner is drawn quickly with straight lines and looks very unusual.
  • Asymmetric jacket - an arc with one inflated "mustache". As a rule, the outer side of the nail is made higher.
  • French with a decorated smile line is an excellent disguise. By laying out rhinestones or curly sequins along the line, you can hide flaws and decorate the coating. Additional fixing with a finishing gel is mandatory.

French from NeoNail will please the owner for 2-3 weeks. Then the coating must be properly and carefully removed. How to do this, prompt training materials on the pages of our website. If these conditions are met, the legs will not suffer, and will please with good length and shape.

F French manicure is one of the fastest, easiest and most successful ways to make your hands well-groomed and neat. This type of manicure can be easily done at home, even without being an experienced specialist. And having painted your nails in this way, you will look win-win everywhere - from the gym to the social event.

Of course, all these advantages are valid only when the manicure is done perfectly. Brush stains, smeared parts or peeling varnish will instantly make even the most elegant lady untidy. Therefore, so that even such a proven option as a French manicure does not let us down, it is important to choose and apply a varnish coat correctly. So what should be the varnish for the perfect jacket?



French manicure color

The classic version of the French manicure involves the use of pastel colors for the base and white to indicate the regrown nail. In this case, varnishes are selected monophonic, without sparkles. Pearly Lacquer- not the best solution for a jacket, neither for the main color, nor for white.



The base color can vary from light beige to medium pink. It is best to choose a varnish that matches your skin tone, in which case the nails will look more harmonious. However, ideally, the color of the lacquer should not exactly repeat the color of the skin, and at the same time it will look unfortunate if it is very different. The best option– choose pink or beige colour, which is a couple of tones different from the skin of your fingers.

It’s easier to pick up white varnish for a jacket. The most popular option is pure white dense enamel. You can also choose ivory lacquer, this shade will make the manicure more natural. The main condition is that the color be pure, without impurities.

What to look for when choosing a varnish for a French manicure

Color intensity. Lacquer for French manicure should create a fairly dense and intense coating. It is better to choose varnishes through which, even when applied in one layer, the nail does not show through. And if the varnish of the main color can be somewhat transparent, then make good french translucent white varnish is simply impossible.

The density of French manicure varnish should be moderate. Too liquid varnish will have to be applied in two layers, which will make the process of creating a jacket longer and more troublesome. A very thick varnish will take too long to dry, and at the same time it is very likely to smear the coating on the tip of the nail, where two colors are used.

Structure. The most important quality of varnish in the case of a French manicure. The varnish should be homogeneous and evenly distributed with a brush. The results of a poor-quality varnish structure are stains, stripes and even small bubbles on the coating. All this absolutely does not paint any type of manicure. Therefore, when buying, it is better to immediately try the varnish and evaluate its suitability - a good varnish fits perfectly even on a sheet of paper and forms a uniform thin layer of one color.

Lacquer compatibility. Since French manicure involves the use of two shades of varnish at the same time, it is important that both varnishes blend perfectly with each other - have the same density and structure. The easiest way to do this is to buy varnishes from one manufacturer and even one series.

Beautiful well-groomed hands and a perfectly executed manicure is an essential accessory when creating a bright image modern woman.
