Color jacket — fashion trends for short and long nails

Color jacket has become an excellent replacement for the classic conservative design. This version of nail art looks great in the spring and summer seasons, combined with bright stylish outfits. The design variations are endless, with different colors and stylish trendy décor.

Color french on nails 2019

Probably no one will argue with the fact that French manicure is one of the most stylish, delicate and feminine nail design options. With a traditional jacket, the nail plate is covered with a nude shade, and the edge of the nail is white, but modern fashion is making its own adjustments, and today alternative French manicures using other colors are at the peak of popularity.

Color manicure 2019 in French style is possible in three main design options:

1. As in the classic version, the nail plate is covered with a neutral varnish, and the edge of the nail is painted in a trendy color.



2. The nail plate is painted in one of the bright fashionable colors, and the edge of the nail is decorated in white.



3. The base of the nail is covered with one color, and the edge with another, without the use of classic shades.

Both of the options listed above do not exclude the possibility of using additional ideas for nail design. These include:

• the use of rhinestones, sequins;



• colored jacket with broths;



• art painting on nails;



• a variety of stickers-stylers for decoration.

Colored jacket for long nails

French colored manicure is possible both on long nails and on short ones, but an elongated nail plate has significant advantages. When creating the design of the edge of the nail, the so-called «smile», you can use a wider range of possible variations. As a rule, the width of the “smile” is equal to the length of the overgrown nail, and in this case, the master has the opportunity to create a stylish bright painted design.

When creating a French manicure on long nails, one factor should be taken into account — the length of the nail plate itself, excluding the regrown edge. If the nail itself is short, then when creating a jacket, it is better to make the “smile” narrower — so the nail design will look more elegant. The edge of long French-style nails can be covered with a plain colored varnish, or you can create different options with color combinations, interesting transitions, gradients, patterns, and more.

Color jacket for short nails

Paradoxically, in 2019, just short nails that correspond to the principle of naturalness have become a trend. Plus, with a short manicure it is much more comfortable to do everyday things than with long ones. The nail industry does not stand still, offering fashionistas different design options, including a colored French manicure for short nails, which looks easy, natural and easily fits into a spring or summer female bright look.

Color french on oval nails

In the upcoming spring season, the trend will be oval nails that look neat and elegant, regardless of their length. A colored jacket on almond-shaped nails looks very beautiful and elegant, the “smile” line is softer and smoother. The design options for such nails are endless, depending on the length. It can be either a laconic design in the form of a neat colored strip along the edge, or a stylish bright painted design.

Color french on square nails

In 2019, the square shape of the nails fades into the background, but this does not mean that its admirers will have to abandon it. A more relevant option this year is the so-called soft square, smoothed on the sides and with rounded corners. A beautiful colored jacket on square nails looks very stylish, the shape of the “smile” should also be appropriate.

A colored jacket on square-shaped nails looks more neat and elegant if the nail plate is short. If the nails are very long, plus the plate has a wide shape, the nail art can look a little rough, especially if you choose very bright or catchy dark shades for the “smile” design.

Colored french on sharp nails

Fans of outrageous and bright fashion ideas will certainly like a colored jacket with a design on long pointed nails. As a rule, such nails are not short, which means that there is an opportunity to create a stylish and bright nail art. On a sharp shape, both neutral pastel shades with stylish decorative elements and catchy ideas with original painting and bright decor look beautiful.

Color jacket ideas

Classic French manicure is very popular because of its neutrality and elegance, but many fashionistas may find it too simple and banal. So, in search of original creative ideas, the ideas of a colored jacket manicure appeared. Such a nail design is constantly being improved, and every season brings new ideas into fashion — color schemes, combinations of shades. Decor options.

Color jacket with a pattern

The best way to add bright colors to your nail design is to make a stylish and interesting pattern. This is possible in two versions:

If you want a dazzling shine in your nail design, you should pay attention to such a decor option as rhinestones — even one miniature pebble will give your nails a shining look. There are several ideas on how to decorate a jacket on a color basis:

• arrange a nail on one of the fingers with a large number of rhinestones;

• decoration of nails with rhinestones at the base.

French-style nail decor options can be combined with each other. So, painted drawings with rhinestones are ideally combined with each other, creating a stylish and elegant nail design. Here it is important to strike a balance between a stylish and beautiful design and obvious excess — if the pattern is bright and contrasting, it is better to use miniature stones and in small quantities.

Colored matte jacket

A color jacket on round nails or on a square shape in a matte version has become a fashionable idea. This idea looks interesting and unusual without the usual glossy sheen. The idea of ​​a nail plate in natural tones with colored “smiles” looks especially beautiful. For decor, you can use the same details as for the glossy version — rhinestones, broths, drawings. The only drawback of a matte French manicure is that the slightest unevenness will be very noticeable, so the preparation of the nail plate must be perfect.

French with colored tips

In the spring and summer seasons, you especially want to complement your image with bright colors, and for this, not only clothes and shoes are used, but also nail design. A popular idea was a trendy colored jacket with a base in a neutral color and original tips, in different colors. The following ideas are especially popular:

Various options for a jacket with colored tips look very stylish and fashionable using an interesting nail design — for example, artistic painting on the edges. This idea is easy to implement at an impressive length. If the nails are short, the original drawing can be applied to the entire surface, or choose a stylish sticker.

Colored jacket with sequins

The best way to create a dressy and festive nail design is to use glitter, and the colored jacket is no exception. Such a small detail can make even the most ordinary manicure bright and radiant. Colored delicate jacket with sparkles is available in two options:

• the ends of the nails are decorated with multi-colored sequins using the french technique;
• the colored jacket is covered on top with a thin transparent layer of sparkles.

Colored french with rubbing

There is another way to transform a jacket on a colored background or with colored ends. In recent years, glitter has become a popular nail option — an original rub that gives the nail plate a dazzling shine. It is a shining sequins of a very fine fraction, which are applied to a layer of varnish and gently rubbed with a special sponge. The presence of rubbing in the French nail design does not preclude the use of other decor options, such as rhinestones, broths, drawings or stickers.

The colors of the rub can be different, from silver mirror to bright or very dark, but for a French-style nail design, it is better to choose neutral light colors — white, pink, beige, silver or any other that is present in the main nail design. You can decorate a French manicure with a rub in two ways — apply a transparent layer on each nail plate, or use it to decorate one nail on your hand, creating the effect of a continuous glossy surface.

Colored jacket with flowers

Floral motifs have always been attractive to women, so at all times they are used to design clothes and accessories. The nail industry is no exception, offering fashionistas many interesting options. A stylish and popular idea was the design of nails in the style of a colored jacket with a floral pattern, which gives the female image freshness, bright colors, and at the same time a touch of tenderness and romance.

• «smile» French manicure with a painted floral design;
• beautiful painting applied to the French design;
• painting on all nails applied to the French design;
• one of the nails is made in the same color with painting with flowers;
• the use of stickers in the nail design color french.

In order to give the nail design a colored jacket with floral painting a more elegant look, you can use additional decor methods. These include sparkles, countries, broths. But when using such ideas, it is important not to overdo it — too much decor in a bright pattern can look gaudy and tasteless, so it is better to use auxiliary ideas in a dosed manner.

geometric color french

We can confidently conclude that a classic white jacket with a color design cannot compete — if the first option looks elegant and conservative, then the second one allows you to implement a lot of stylish and creative ideas for your image. One of the design variations is the geometric nail design, which has been very popular lately.

The essence of geometric nail design is the use of straight lines. In French manicure, this is not as easy to implement as in other versions of nail art — there is not so much space for creativity. Good ideas for implementation are:

• as a «smile» a straight diagonal line;
• transverse stripe in contrasting color;
• «smile» of two colors separated by a straight line.
