Strips or tape
Scotch tape is the main means of creating geometric designs that never seem to go out of fashion.

Such a pattern can be either the main detail or the background. This style is quite versatile and suitable for everyday wear.
Points
Polka dots, like cavities, are an all-time option. Not only do they serve as an excellent, non-boring background, but they also represent a special category of the main theme of manicure, including French.

Using this technique, you can apply even the most delicate and complex design, while it will maintain excellent quality and have the same service life as a regular design.

Fashion design 2022
In the summer of 2022, masters recommend decorating your nails with a unique and rather original combined jacket.
The interweaving of rich and bright shades creates a slightly flirty and light look. A popular option is the combination of acrylic powder and matte finish. As for a perfect and fashionable design, a bright moonlit manicure, ombre, unfinished smile line, and branch design look best.
Hole design
The harmonious combination of moon manicure and classic French manicure is a unique and attractive duet. For a more original and unusual manicure, modern fashionistas prefer to paint the hole in bright and rich colors of the varnish coating. The smile line itself can be left in the usual white color. Girls who like to look special should try the hole options in a triangular format.
Colored French
“Hands are a girl’s calling card,” Coco Chanel once said, and to this day women of all ages carefully monitor the beauty of their nails. The most successful way to highlight your well-groomed hands is to do nail art.
Naturalness and originality were proclaimed the king of manicure - colored French. And its design options will make any woman unique.
Black version
A black French coat involves applying dark varnish to the smile line, or covering the nail plate with black and covering the tip with white.
This manicure can be performed in the following types:
- Classic black. Coating the smile line, or the main part of the contour, with black varnish, applying a white tint to the tip.
- Diagonal black. A nail plate covered with a transparent top coat with black diagonal stripes on it. The tip is white.
- Black with accents. A classic black French manicure with nail decoration with an image that your imagination will tell you. A sophisticated option.
- Black with splinters. An ultra-fashionable design in which the surface is decorated with rhinestones in the form of glass fragments.
- Black with patterns. The option looks very good when the nail plate is covered with black and white openwork patterns are drawn on it. Black patterns on clear varnish look no less elegant.
Option with design
Fantasy in French decor is not limited. The smile area can be of any color; you can take a specific bright shade for the main part of the surface, and make the tip white. Colored types of French jackets with designs include:
- Creative smile. On a nude basis, the colored tip is drawn in the shape of any geometric figure of the client’s choice. You can complement the even strip along the edges with completely different nuances in the middle of the smile.
- Double smile. In this jacket, on a neutral claw, a strip of different colors is made from different ends, with one shade smoothly transitioning into another.
- Ambre. This type of colored jacket is becoming more and more popular. In it, the smile makes a smooth transition into the colored base, and just as smoothly into the transparent base closer to the hole.
- Tandem. A fashionable type of nail care in which the tip is painted with a bright colored varnish and the hole with classic white.
Whatever decor you choose, colorful French design will definitely lift your mood and emphasize originality. You just need to find a good master.
Matte design
This season, almost every fashionista has discovered matte design. This coating can decorate completely all nail plates. But the design looks more unusual and original if the velvety top is combined with a glossy sheen. To perform a matte manicure, shades such as olive, khaki, peach and blue are perfect. In addition, you should use confetti, rhinestones, glitter and foil.
Bright rhinestones
Most of the design is simply impossible to imagine without shimmering stones. So summer fashion 2022 would not be complete without such delightful nail decor. The shining elements simply fascinate with their beauty and superiority. Rhinestones are mainly used to lay out holes or some kind of ornament. Some fashionistas prefer the shimmer of stones to decorate the entire smile line of a French manicure.
