French secrets, or notes of French sophistication. How to do a French manicure at home - step by step instructions Ways to create a jacket: beauty in ten minutes

French approach to most clothing styles. Secrets for the perfect jacket Of course, special skills and rules are required for the correct modeling of a jacket. This article presents the main secrets for the perfect French manicure.

French details
French is modeled with both gel and acrylic. If the work is done by a real professional, then no one will determine the material used. What should you pay special attention to when modeling a jacket? Below are the criteria to consider when building gel and acrylic.

The French brush should be hard and elastic. Such characteristics are characteristic only of high-quality sable brushes. After all, if you use soft, fluffy, then when wet, it will not gather into a sharp point, which means it is unsuitable for the French creation technology. If there are cases when the brush is poorly cleaned after white and colored powder when using acrylic, then it is necessary to apply 2 tbsp. monomer.

A professional French manicure is called the process of modeling a French manicure on forms. Therefore, you can easily give beauty to natural nails that do not grow as you would like, set the optimal thickness to the free edge and make the right bend for an artificial nail.

The correct consistency of liquid powder plays a huge role in good acrylic modeling. After all, if the free edge is made into a very liquid ball, then there is the possibility of the appearance of "marble". But too dry consistency will make the extended nail extremely fragile.

smile line
Building beautiful, high-quality nails requires good experience and excellent knowledge of all the subtleties. An ideal jacket can be divided into a free edge, a smile line, and a nail shape.

The free edge is laid out in one ball. If this is not done, “marbling” and uneven C-bend will appear when the arch is clamped. That is why the powder-to-liquid ratio needs to be controlled so much.

Joint of white and camouflage materials. If the nail bed and the free edge are not mated correctly, the material of the nail tip can be chipped exactly at the smile line on the artificial nail.

What smile line is considered correct in a French manicure?
The word smile explains everything. The border of the pink material and white should not be a smooth solid line. But it should be noted that the modeling of a smile depends on the shape of the artificial nails that the client desires.

The main criteria for a perfect smile for French
First, you need to determine the central axis of the finger, from which you need to bend the smile to the sides. The smile line should look symmetrical.

A "side" of the same height must be present along the length of the extension, but at the same time be without depressions and sagging.

There is a rule of aesthetics for a jacket, which says that the length of the white part cannot exceed the length of the pink part.

There can be no gap between the natural nail and the mold, and their central axes must exactly match. If there is the slightest discrepancy, then the nail will turn out to be crooked, the C-bend will also look uneven. The article "Technology for shaping an extended nail" explains all the rules for shaping a nail.

It is necessary to pay due attention to the fact that the elongation, somewhere per millimeter, should already be than natural nail plate. The master needs to clearly establish a place for the "mustache" so as not to accidentally cut it off. The shape of the nail models a smile, because for square shape a more rounded line is suitable; more elongated, narrower characteristic of almond and stylet; round and elongated make a smile line for the Pipe shape; in the form of Edge, it repeats the shape of the free edge of the extended nail.

Smiles on all nails must be identical!

Conclusions:
I really hope that this article will bring something useful to the masters of the nail service, if you read it carefully, then your work will become much better, and this will increase the price of services.

Many masters are still afraid to do French modeling, because they do not have special information in the basic courses or due to the fact that little time has been devoted to this. But, no matter how the work of a manicure master is now quite cost-effective, so you should learn how to do it yourself beautifully and efficiently.

In our online store "Ukrsalon" there is a wide selection at affordable prices and excellent quality!

Nail design is my hobby, I decorate nails different ways and one of my favorites of course French manicure.

I have read a lot of articles on this topic, mostly nice pictures and little technology, it is about the technical aspects that I would like to tell in detail.

1. Stencils. Everyone knows about stencils, you buy them and stick them on, and then it makes sense to write a review on a French manicure. I will not dwell on them in detail, here and so everything is clear. I hardly ever use them.

2. Homemade stencils. In fact, you can make them yourself.

• You can use household electrical tape or matte sticky tape Scotch (best), simple stationery stickers. You can cut out oval stickers from any sticky base, or you can use the tape itself, just the smile line will be straight. If you have zigzag scissors, you can cut wavy stripes and make such an unusual manicure.
• Another way. Take an old file from the folder, stick adhesive tape on it, matte tape, even masking tape and cut out semicircular strips, you can circle the old strip from the purchased stencil, if it remains, leave it on the side a little to make it easier to peel them off and apply on the nails. This is of course a long time, you can simply cut off the tape and immediately stick it on.
• Too sticky tape. If it sticks tightly and peels off along with the varnish, or vice versa leaves glue, then before applying to the nails, glue the strip to the lint-free fabric, and then to the nails, remove the main stickiness on the fabric.
• In addition, a germicidal band-aid works well, use its rounded parts or cut several stickers from one band-aid. It will take five patches for two hands, or one or two if cut.

  
  

  Also, the smile line can be hidden with rhinestones or sparkles, in fact, any varnish with sparkles is suitable for this.

  
  

  3. Varnish with a thin brush. If you have a white varnish with a thin brush, you can trace around in the first step thin line smile line, and then ordinary varnish fill in the overgrown part. This is one of my favorite ways. With a thin brush it is easy to draw straight lines. This is especially convenient for a triangular jacket.

  
  

  4. Method with nail polish remover. Here your hands are trembling, everything is crooked, everything is askew, it's okay. Paint crookedly, take a cosmetic flat brush, dip in acetone or nail polish remover and touch up until smooth. This is especially suitable for those who cannot do exactly with their left hand.

  
  

  5. Short nails. A French manicure can be done on nails of any length, and it looks just as great on nails with no length at all. It is not necessary to grow out your nails.

  You need to apply a thin strip along the tip of the nail, even if there is no regrown part, you imitate it, you just paint over this part of the nail with white. Hands are immediately transformed, a well-groomed appearance appears.

  
  

  A few years ago, my friend went to the salon with deep nails and the master made this imitation of white tips with the thinnest strip, and she did not even dream of such a manicure. I went happy, showed it to everyone, received a lot of compliments and refused to wash the dishes at home)))

  This method is also suitable for those who have already grown a little, but want to visually lengthen the nail plate or who by nature have it small.

  
  

  In this way, you can save a nude manicure that has begun to rub on the tips.

  6. Gradient. Such a manicure with a gradient looks very gentle on the nails. There are several ways.

  
  

  • On clean, base-coated nails, you apply a thin layer with a sponge with white varnish, concentrating it on the tips, and then cover it all with milk varnish.

    
    

  • Apply white and pink to the sponge at the same time and apply to the entire nail. This is my favorite way. You need to do two layers, sometimes three.
  • Apply milk or pink polish on your nails, and then work the tips with white with a sponge.

    
    

    You will get a real gradient only in the second way, since only in this way will white and pink varnish blend perfectly with each other at the border of the transition.

    
    

    7.Design. Take a pink, dense varnish and paint your nails. Then, with a thin brush, draw white feathers along the regrown edge. It's very easy to draw them. In winter, white feathers can be replaced with snowflakes to imitate frosty patterns.

    
    

    If you have stamping plates, there is a lot of room for creativity.

    
    

    8. White varnish. The denser the white varnish, the better. Here's what I'm using now. I won't say I'm thrilled, but so far these are my favorites.

    
    

    9. Milk varnish. I buy milk varnishes all the time, for such a manicure in Lately I use these. Lacquer Sally Hansen Lacquer Catrice

    
    

    You can make it yourself. In any transparent varnish, drip a couple of drops of white and stir. Do not add a lot at once, one drop at a time and try on the nail. Dense pink varnish also dissolves perfectly in transparent. It can be diluted separately if there is a small container so that the entire transparent varnish is not wasted.

    
    

    Many use only such a varnish, sometimes it goes better than a purchased one, because everyone knows how such varnishes "stripe".

    You can make your own brush at home. If you need a thin brush, you can cut off the thickness of any brush, even from an old varnish, even an artistic one. A brush from used eyeliner is great.

    
    

    Most best advice about the brush for French manicure. It is necessary to cut a flat brush in a semicircle. This will solve 90% of the problems for applying white tips. A flat brush for varnish or a flat brush for eyebrows is suitable, it is already beveled, it remains only to round it. It is best to cut with manicure curved scissors. Before this, the brush must be washed with acetone from varnish and dried, so it will be easier to give it the desired shape.

    
    If you buy a white varnish with a flat brush, cut it, then you will have a special varnish for the tips, it is very convenient and saves time at times, even compared with stencils. So at the end of the review I give you my favorite trick.

French manicure - timeless classic. The most optimal solution for any occasion in life, whether it is an ordinary day or a holiday. This type of manicure looks discreet and elegant regardless of the length of the nails, besides, it is ideal for any outfit: from jeans to an evening dress.

If you don’t have time to visit the salon, but you can’t do it yourself, because you don’t know how to do a French manicure, then read the article and start experimenting. Do not forget: if something does not work out, try again, there is always the opportunity to erase the varnish!

What do you need for a French makeover?

Many cosmetic stores sell special kits for French manicure. The price varies from 400 to 800 rubles.

The set of such a set most often includes: paper stencils-stickers or strips for French manicure, white varnish, white pencil, as well as a base coat with a neutral tint, usually a soft pink or ivory tone. With everything you need in your arsenal, you can easily create your own jacket.

To make a classic jacket, you need to do the following steps:

1. Remove cuticle;
2. Apply foundation;
3. Color the edge of the nail White color, staining can be both external and internal;
4. Coat the nail plate with a colorless or nude varnish.

How to do a French manicure?

Now let's look at these steps in more detail.

Stage 1

We take a nail bath. This paragraph is not considered mandatory, but this kind
caring procedures for hands are simply necessary.

To begin, moisten a cotton pad with nail polish remover, wipe your nails with the disc. This is done in order to degrease the surface.

Next, we do, for example, a chamomile bath, it will soften the cuticle, strengthen the nails and soothe the skin. You can also add a couple of drops essential oil. After finishing this procedure, wipe your hands with a dry towel.

Stage 2

We begin to process nails.

1. Gently shift the cuticle with a special stick with an oblique cut;
2. We remove burrs with tweezers with triangular tips. Before using these tools, be sure to disinfect them;
3. After completing the procedure, sharpen your nails with a nail file and cover them with a protective base or smart enamel.

Stage 3

Glue the stencil strips.

The strips must be glued so that the tip of your nail is free. Keep in mind that the space that we will later paint with white should not exceed 5 mm.

Note: instead of stickers, you can use tape or tape. And also if you have “solid” hands that do not shake, then try to draw a strip in the form of a smile yourself with a thin brush.

Stage 4

Paint the tip white.

Paint the edge of the nail up to the stencil line in two layers with white varnish. Apply one coat and let dry for 7-10 seconds. Apply a second layer - and wait until completely dry. When the varnish is dry, carefully begin to remove the strips so that the varnish does not smear.

Stage 5

The final touch is the main tone.

We cover the nails with a varnish of a natural shade. When choosing an enamel, consider your skin tone. If your skin is a pale pink color, then the polish needs the same shade. If your skin tone is peach, then pick up peach enamel.

After the varnish has dried, we fix the result with a “fixer” to give a glossy shine to the manicure.

But you can go the other way!

Also, many women use tips for French manicure. Tips are false nails that are sold in many stores. Moreover, they can be found in various lengths and shapes.

Tips are considered very convenient, because it will not take much work to deal with them - you just need to stick them on your nail with the help of special glue, which is sold together with tips.

In the price list of any beauty salon, you can find such a service as a French manicure. It is relatively expensive, but what sacrifices will you not make for the sake of beauty on the handles?

In terms of aesthetics french suits almost any style of clothing. Also, when modeling a jacket, the master can easily hide the flaws of the nail plate and visually correct the shape. natural nail. Of course, like any other technique, french modeling requires knowledge of special rules, development and acquisition of certain skills. This article reveals the secrets of modeling a clear, beautiful and correct French manicure.

FRENCH IN DETAILS

French can be modeled with both gel and acrylic. Moreover, if the work is done professionally, then you will not be able to determine what kind of material. What are the main aspects when modeling a french coat that the master needs to pay attention to? The criteria described below apply to both gel and acrylic extensions.

The pile of a brush for modeling a jacket must be hard and elastic at the same time. These properties are only high quality sable brushes. If the brush is soft, fluffy, and when wet it does not gather at one point (forming a point at the same time), the brush is considered unsuitable for French modeling technology. If you have problems cleaning the brush when modeling with acrylics after using white or colored powder, you can use 2 monomer cups.

And, of course, professional French manicure is a modeling of French manicure on forms. Thanks to them, you can fix appearance natural nails that grow up or down; achieve the optimal thickness of the free edge and form the correct C-curve of the artificial nail.

Also, with acrylic modeling, it is very important to observe the correct consistency of the liquid - powder. But when laying out the free edge with a too liquid ball, “marble” may appear. Also, the extended nail will be very fragile, as with acrylic extensions that are too dry.

THE SUBTLETS OF THE SMILE LINE

In order to grow beautiful and high-quality nails, you need to have a clear idea of ​​\u200b\u200bwhat to strive for. At the same time, the ideal jacket can be conditionally decomposed into several main components: the free edge, the smile line, the shape of the nail.

free edge laid out in one ball. If this rule is not observed, “marbling” and an uneven C-bend may appear when the arch is clamped. Therefore, when practicing French modeling with acrylic, it is very important to observe correct ratio liquid - powder when collecting balls of different sizes.

Joint of camouflage and white materials. If the free edge and the nail bed do not fit properly, the material of the nail tip can chip right along the smile line of the artificial nail.

What should be the smile line on the jacket? The name "smile" speaks for itself. Therefore, it is unacceptable for the border of the white and pink material to look like a solid, even line. Also, when modeling the correct smile line, it must be remembered that it depends on the shape of artificial nails ordered by the client.

BASIC RULES FOR A PERFECT FRENCH SMILE LINE

1. The central axis of the finger is determined, from which the curvature of the smile is displayed to the side ridges. With respect to the central axis, the smile line should be symmetrical.

2. The end point of the “whiskers” is located, while the left and right sides of the smile should be symmetrical, located on the same level.

Z. If you want to achieve a clear smile line, then there must be a “side” of the same height along the entire length of the extension, without depressions and sagging.

4. An aesthetically correct jacket is to follow the rule: the length of the white part should not exceed the length of the pink.

5. When setting the forms, there should be no gap between the natural nail and the form, and the central axis of the natural nail and the form must match. If the shape is skewed, then the nail will also be crooked as a result, and its C-bend will be uneven.

6. When laying out the extension, pay attention to the fact that it should be about a millimeter narrower than the natural nail plate (it is necessary to leave room for laying out the “whiskers” so as not to cut them off when filing). Depending on the shape of the artificial nail, we model the smile as follows: we lay out a more rounded smile on the square shape; on almonds and stylet - a more elongated and narrowed smile line; on the shape of Pipe, the smile line should be laid out round and more elongated; the smile line of the Edge shape should follow the shape of the free edge of the extended nail. And most importantly: smiles on all nails should be the same!

CONCLUSION

I hope this article will be useful for nail service masters: by paying attention to the points described in it, you will significantly improve the quality of work and, consequently, increase the cost of your services.

Unfortunately, many masters are afraid to do French modeling due to the lack of special knowledge in basic courses or due to the fact that they paid little attention to laying out French in training. However, for masters this work is cost-effective, so it makes sense to learn how to make a jacket professionally and beautifully.
