For many years, French manicure has been one of the most universal designs, suitable for any look, both office style and for the everyday elegant look of every girl. The neutral tones of a classic French jacket are appropriate for any event, from a business meeting to any celebration.
In 2016, nail service professionals, together with designers and image makers, decided to update this type of nail art and add a fashionable twist to it.
The main trends of this design include uneven lines, a variety of textures and their combination, artistic painting and other various additional decorative elements.
French manicure on short nails 2016 photo
Short nails will be extremely popular in 2016. So, following new fashion trends, the classic French technique changes a little. Instead of the common semicircular rim, smiles of various shapes will be used - waves, squares, pointed teeth, and so on. Such an element will look very unusual and attractive in classic white.
The 2016 fashion shows were replete with quite interesting options for French manicure. The presented new types of French manicure show how designers approach its creation. Using a special sponge during the process of applying the edges of the manicure on the sides makes it possible to create a rain effect, when the edges between the smile and the main color do not look clear, as if blurred by water. It is worth noting that such a technique is very difficult to perform, so it is advisable to entrust the creation of such a manicure to an experienced master.
Drawings on French
Abstract branches on nails are popular. Brush movements should be free so that the drawing turns out natural. Under no circumstances should you try to ensure that the patterns on each finger are identical. This is handmade, which is characterized by different variations. This is its beauty.
The sakura branch is drawn according to the same principle, only it is positioned horizontally and goes through all the nails. You can put sakura flowers in dots, and then stick small rhinestones on some nails. The “red French with a pattern” nail design (photo below) is easy to do yourself. Stickers will help you “plant” beautiful flowers on your nails. This composition will be complemented by crystals.
Painted roses, poppies, and fantasy flowers look good. It is not necessary to draw them on each nail; it is enough to highlight the ring finger in a white tone and draw a red poppy on it. Leave the rest of the marigolds without frills - a classic red jacket. Nail designs based on this principle are now in fashion.
Using stencils, stamping, and tape, you can make simple varnish designs. But they will look very impressive. Here every nail looks like its fellows.

Fans of the classic version of the French jacket should not be upset, because you can be fashionable and stylish without changing your habits. You can paint your nail plates in milky shades, flesh-pink, soft light green, the main thing is that the color of the varnish complements the image.
When choosing aggressive colors to paint a smile, you should take into account the characteristics of the nail plate. If you have short nails, then your smile should be thin. Not every girl will do almost jewelry work, so manicurists will not be able to complain about the lack of clients for a long time.
French with gold and silver tips
Gold nail designs attract many due to the attractiveness of the gold color on the eye. The manicure will look richer and more elegant. Most often and most successfully, gold is combined with black, which provides the desired contrast and highlights the gold color even more. To create the illusion of richly decorated nails, gold is often combined with silver, for example, varnishes, foil or studs. The gold nail design in the photo will give the most complete idea of this style of nail decoration. There are many ways to create gold nail designs using glitter particles.
The most common is to apply varnish with golden shimmer or golden mica. They decorate the entire nail in this way, or make patterns or frame the tip of the nail plate in a French manicure style. Mica and glitter can be part of the varnish, or they can be applied dry. Mica can be very different - round, octagonal, in the form of rectangular thin strips. You can also make a golden design on your nails using gold foil; you can cut out various figures from the foil or apply it to the entire nail. Do not forget to apply special glue or select special foil - self-adhesive.

A fashionable design of a French manicure in the fan-french style is a manicure in the creation of which the master uses various materials: dried flowers, foil, rhinestones, mica and other non-standard ideas.
Colored tip of the marigold
Colored - a colored tip of the nail or a multi-layered color transition from the tip of the nail to the nail bed. Here are photos of the new 2016 French manicure in color. Highlighting the edge of the nail plate is the main feature of this option.
French manicure with gel polish 2016 photo
If you want to extend the life of your favorite design, then you should resort to using gel polish, known for its durability.
It can be especially useful in cases where you need to be sure that your manicure will not fail you at the most inopportune moment. Agree, chipped varnish at a New Year's party or wedding ceremony is unlikely to please anyone.
Gel polish allows you to create real masterpieces in the field of French manicure. Thanks to its exceptional properties, which guarantee the durability of the result, you can use sliders that imitate the most delicate lace, powder, with the help of which unique patterns reminiscent of panne velvet, molded elements, sparkles and rhinestones are created.
Office option
Gel polish is already presented here. It lasts two to three weeks, so the mist is wisely made transparent. Otherwise, you will have to hide your nails under your documents when talking with your boss. One nail is made of silver. If the dress code does not allow such liberties, you can resort to innocent decoration with silver glitter on the red line of the jacket.
You can make a French Louboutin. To do this, you need sufficient nail length. But if the nails are modeled, a red “smile” is immediately made on the underside of the free edge. White stripes are ideal for the office - the boss doesn’t swear. And at a party, the simple gesture of brushing your hair away from your forehead will become mesmerizing.
By combining gel polish and regular silver polish, you can look like a strict businesswoman in the office, and after work, apply a strip of silver and lift your mood.
Regular polish can be easily removed from gel polish. Just don’t keep a cotton pad soaked in nail polish remover on the surface for too long. It may lose its shine or peel off a little. Still, gel polish is a soluble substance.
French manicure and ombre 2016 photo
In my opinion, a very simple and original idea is to paint the free edge of the nail in ombre style. The option in black and white shades is ideal for the office, but if you choose bright shades of nail polish, then this version of the French manicure becomes a universal lifesaver anywhere and at any time of the year.
Designer
Designer - depends solely on the imagination of the master and the client. In other words, this is a stylized French manicure that depends solely on the rich imagination of the manicurist. Designer French French 2016 in different versions are presented below.

Just a little bit of bright and rich shades in a French manicure will lift the mood not only for you, but also for those around you.

Fashion for red
How many shades of red are there? Great amount! Red can be cold and warm, burgundy, raspberry, pink, coral, fuchsia and shrimp. Dark and bright, muted matte and bold shiny. Metallic and mirror.

Collections of fashion couturiers presented models with this design. He was spotted demonstrating new products from the Dior and PRADA fashion houses.
Not everyone is ready to paint their nails a bright color. But the red French nail design is quite calm. You can paint part of the nail: the “hole”, the edge of the jacket, the side “hole” (this is the “smile” along the side roller).
There is a tendency to make several colored “smiles”—a “layer cake.” The combination of different textures, even in a monochrome version, looks rich. Tones that are similar in shades - scarlet and coral, wine, burgundy and cherry - will create intrigue. Their use for a layered “smile” is an elegant solution.
You can combine all these options, but design in the same style. Something should combine multi-texture, several shades and various French options.
