Square French nails and new designs for 2022
French on square nails looks organic. Classic French manicure emphasizes the graceful shape of the nails and hands. But there are also new techniques for decorating the nail plate using the French technique on square nails.
The following new items are trending:
- Corner French involves applying edging to the corners of the nail plate. Most often, a contrasting color combination is used. Additional decor makes the corner jacket more expressive.
- Square shape of the nail plate with a multi-colored jacket. Multi-color accents are becoming increasingly popular. A bright, expressive multi-colored jacket is used as an accent and is often mixed with a regular manicure.
- A soft or pronounced square with a black, bright red border. This “smile” looks expressive and clearly articulates the shape of the nail plate.
- Lunar French. Double underlining at the base of the nail plate and at the top is not only a way of decoration, but also an opportunity to adjust the shape of the nail plate.
- An asymmetrical jacket, a shifting “smile” looks expressive in combination with a multi-colored jacket and various types of patterns.

Additional expressiveness of nail art is given by decor: rhinestones, beads, confetti, modeling.

Modeling technique
Before you start extensions, you must perform a hardware or classic trimmed manicure. Skin and nails must be well-groomed, all irregularities must be eliminated. The arch modeling procedure itself is built according to the following scheme:
- Degrease your fingers, paying special attention to the nail plates.
- Apply a thin layer of primer, being careful not to get it on the cuticles. Dry your nails under the lamp. The time depends on its power.
- Set the templates and apply a layer of gel or acrylic, making it more dense at the junction of the mold and the natural plate. Dry the coating under a lamp in case of gel extensions. When using acrylic modeling, attach the tip and nail with special glue, and dry the applied coating naturally.
- Form an arch line, making the layer thinner towards the edges and thickening it in the stress area. Dry your nails again.
- Remove the top layer with a nail file and give the ends an arched shape.
- Apply topcoat to your nails and hold your hands under a lamp. Complete the design.
Technique for nail extension in the form of an arch
The technique of execution can vary significantly depending on the type of form, as well as the type and brand of material used.
Beautiful square French on short nails - ideas for 2022
French fits well on short square nails. Masters often offer clients a similar form in combination with this technique. The nail plate looks neat, and the “smile” delicately emphasizes the shape. For such nails, subtle underlining is more suitable.
Let's look at a photo of a French design on square nails.
Classic French manicure is an ideal option for women whose work requires compliance with a dress code. Black, dark green, and blue manicures combined with white or red underlining are in fashion. Suitable for short nails: matte manicure with underlining, transparent nail art with elegant edging.
An interesting design solution for a French manicure for short square nails is a pastel base with a edging in the form of a delicate floral design. An elegant jacket with lace patterns rests on a similar shape.
French for short, square-shaped nails looks expressive and bright with abstract, geometric designs and accent nails. Options based on chameleon varnishes and nail art using glitters and shimmers will look original.
Features of manicure
The blue color is multifaceted, but, like many other shades, it has its own characteristics that you definitely need to know about. The owner of a blue jacket should not choose bright pink or red outfits, or complement gray tones with similar shades of nail polish. The blue palette is relevant in romantic looks and goes well with a denim wardrobe.
Combination of colors and decor in a square French manicure
The fashion trend for 2022 is black, white, red manicure with multi-colored edging. Contrasting nail art designs using bright, rich colors prevail. Emerald green and blue shades in combination with red and yellow are in fashion. Still relevant are nude, pastel colors, translucent base combined with contrasting edging.
Nail art looks beautiful using foil manicure materials with a glitter and shimmer effect; gold, silver casting. To do this, use glitter, confetti, varnishes with the addition of metallic shavings, glitters, and shimmers.
French manicure in neon colors remains relevant, especially in the summer. The hit of the season is bright shades of yellow and lemon.
The 2022 nail art trend is highlighting accent nails. Rhinestones, modeling, polymer artificial stones, and beads are used to decorate the nail plate. Craftsmen sometimes use these and other decors to design a “lunar” jacket, highlighting the lower part of the nail plate at the base of the cuticle. In fashion is painting the nail plate with various patterns; geometric and abstract prints are trending.
Lunar manicure
The design of the blue lunar design consists of an original method of coloring, when the base of the nail, unlike the classic version, is covered with blue, and the lunula area remains transparent or is decorated with a different shade. The selected part of the nail can be decorated with crystal chips, rhinestones or covered with glitter. In this example, neat designs on the accent nail, which can duplicate the color of the hole, look very nice.
Who is the square jacket suitable for?
This shape of the nail plate is suitable for those whose nails have a square, elongated shape with an oval or even cuticle. A square French jacket looks good on long, thin fingers and makes the hand more elegant. A long jacket will allow you to visually “stretch” your hand if your fingers are of medium length.
When the nail plate is round, trapezoidal, it is better to choose an oval, almond-shaped manicure shape. Masters of the nail industry, when choosing the design and shape of nails, always take into account the structural features of the nail plate, taking into account the anatomical features of the structure of the hand and the length of the fingers.
Advantages and disadvantages
The popularity of arched modeling has reached such a level that many nail artists prefer to work exclusively with this technique. A manicure in the form of extended nails with arched tips has many advantages:
- An ideal symmetrical shape of the plates is created.
- Suitable for any design and decor options.
- Due to the dense layer, a strong, wear-resistant structure is obtained, even on long nails.
- Arched tips are less susceptible to cracking and delamination.
- Eliminates unevenness of natural nails.
- Prevention of ingrown nails in case of square tips.
- Equally suitable for long and short nails.
- Comfortable while wearing.
- Your own natural nails are strengthened.
- Longer wear of arched manicure before correction.
Against the background of these advantages, the disadvantages do not seem so significant, but they are still present:
- There are contraindications to the procedure (allergies, fungus, wounds on the fingers and cuticles, hormonal imbalances).
- The finished manicure does not look so natural due to its thickness.
- Difficulty in correcting damage.
- It takes a fair amount of experience to carefully create arched nails.

Aftercare
Arched extensions look very beautiful, so I want them to please the eyes of its owner and everyone around her for as long as possible. To do this, just follow simple recommendations:
- During the first two days, do not use hand cream or other nourishing products.
- Avoid contact with nails with chemicals, including products containing acetone.
- Perform a light hygienic manicure weekly. To do this, use special files and buffs for artificial nails. Treat the cuticle with an emollient.
- Do not expose your nails to temperature changes or prolonged exposure to cold or heat.
- Make corrections once every two weeks.
- The extension procedure can be repeated after a month.
If you want to remove acrylic nails yourself, you need to trim the ends and soak your fingers in a special liquid for about 15 minutes. The gel coating is removed by cutting off with a hard abrasive cutter. During the break between extensions, it is necessary to regularly perform a hygienic manicure, moisturize your hands and nails with creams, and take strengthening baths with salt and oils.
