French with crown
Girls who prefer a conservative style and classic French nail design will appreciate the fashion trends of combining French manicure with a crown. This will be a great addition to the look for any celebration and just a reason to smile. It is original, stylish, fashionable and will make you stand out among others. A French jacket with a crown is not only unusual, but also very glamorous, which will certainly be appreciated by socialites and simply lovers of chic and sparkle.
We present to your attention several design options that create a bomb effect among others:
- classic - on all nails, with the exception of two. A conservative jacket is made. The two remaining nails are painted in the same shade as the “smiles” on the previous nail plates. The top is decorated with a crown. But the decor is applied only to one nail - so that everything looks harmonious and beautiful;
- now show a little imagination and draw a “smile” of the Frenchman in the form of a crown! This is very elegant and will definitely not go unnoticed. This nail art is more restrained, classic and discreet, but it looks unusual - that’s a fact;
- Another option: decorating one nail with a crown, which is located closer to the tip of the nail plate. It can be a drawing or a three-dimensional decoration - it all depends on your desire. You can accent the other free edges of the nails with rhinestones, monograms, bead chips or rubbing - don’t be afraid to experiment!;
If you love creativity and brightness, a royal manicure is definitely for you! Choose non-traditional colors, complement your nails with decor, paint and get a charge of good mood from one look at your nails!
Crown on the ring finger
The most common decoration method is decorating the ring finger. It looks very gentle and harmonious, no matter whether it is a drawing or a sculpture. For the crown, you can select this or the middle finger - so this truly royal element will be in the center of the composition and exactly in its place. This is a restrained style that looks conservative and laconic. Let's look at the two most popular options for designing a nail on the ring finger among masters:
- contrasting technique: the nail with the crown is highlighted in a different color. Please note that the tone of the varnish should not overshadow the royal symbol! Choose the shade wisely, closer to pastel. Do not paint it in an acidic or too dark color - such a design will look out of place. On other nails, make designs or monograms using the selected varnish;
- If you prefer classics, neat and discreet, don’t experiment, just design your nails in the way you like and decorate them with a crown.
Lined with rhinestones
Various manicure blanks are very popular: stickers, stamping stencils, metal and plastic fittings, fimo, etc. But the palm belongs to Swarovski rhinestones and shiny stones - after all, they are the ones that decorate a real royal product. Creating such a design is not at all difficult, because there is nothing difficult in laying out a beautiful headdress from shiny stones, experimenting with shape and appearance. If you use several types, sizes and colors of rhinestones, you can achieve a stunning manicure that will ensure you the attention of others. The main point is to choose the right shade of varnish.
The created crown can be supplemented with broths, foil and beads. A good option is to paint over the void inside the outline with a beautiful varnish, for example with a mirror effect or with sparkles. But a crown that is completely lined with pebbles always looks more advantageous and brighter. This is one of the universal nail art designs. Other nails can be painted with patterns and added shine with small beads. Brave fashionistas often resort to painting the British flag - this is a direct association with the symbol of the monarch.

A basic golden nail base can be created using the now popular mirror stickers . Accordingly, you need to understand that the golden image of a crown on such nails simply will not be visible.
Gold-colored stickers and castings are inappropriate on gold nails
The best color combination would be black, burgundy, blue , etc. according to your taste, but taking into account the compatibility of the color scheme.
Let's draw an informal crown on the ring fingers of both hands. For this:
- draw an arc along the base of the nail
- draw three or four semicircles on it - the basis of the crown
- above the base, retreating a little - the outline of the vertices of the crown - in style of inscription resembles the letter “M”
- decorate the tops with dots improvising stones
- cover with base-finish
If you want to make a gold manicure, then paint one or two nails with a different color and decorate them with a gold crown.
A design made of rhinestones and stones, as well as casting, will be inappropriate in such a manicure, since it will be practically unnoticeable. But again, contrasting, black ones, such as stickers . Their variety in quality, style, and color scheme is very great.

As a rule, a bright accent in nail design is placed on one or two nails , but the rest can be decorated with a monogram or other royal attributes.
To make a decoration made of rhinestones or stones in the shape of a crown, you must first draw the base , then lay out the rhinestones along the contour.

Design Features
This type of nail art goes well with any casual or festive outfit and adds originality to the look.
The crown is usually painted on the nail of the ring or middle finger. There is no need to decorate all your nails with this design at the same time. This makes the manicure look overloaded, and it will be difficult for you to appreciate the beauty of the crown. Only when creating a French manicure is it allowed to be depicted on each finger. But in this case, the top of the crown replaces the traditional smile.
There are several ways to depict a symbol of power:
- Use a ready-made sticker.
- Use manicure stamping.
- Lay out the decoration from individual decorative elements (rhinestones, small stones and others).
- Redraw the image you like with a thin brush.
You can decorate nails of any length and shape with a crown. On long nails it is better to place it closer to the free edge, and on short nails - in the center. A crowned manicure looks perfect on square and oval nails.
More often, the symbol of power is painted in gold or silver; the shine of noble metals makes the crown more expressive and noticeable. But the decoration made in black, white or yellow looks no less majestic. You just need to choose the right contrasting background and decor that gives nobility.

Adviсe
This manicure looks very attractive on “ballerina” shaped nails. But for short, neatly shaped nails, this is also a great option. A few recommendations for creating nail art at home:
- if you used ordinary, simple varnishes for drawing, then remember that they harden very quickly, so the drawing must be applied the first time, avoiding polymerization;
- An excellent option is gel – varnishes or paints. With their help, incredible designs are created that can be adjusted if something doesn’t work out;
- When choosing the color of the background coating, remember the mandatory rule: the nail plate must be even! Do a trim manicure, remove cuticles and roughness on the nail, and adjust the shape.
The design of the royal crown does not have to be done in shades of gold or silver. Bright, rich shades (with the exception of acidic ones) will look great. The image of a magical fairy from a fairy tale will look very unusual and original: complement the princess’s crown with butterflies, floral designs, and dragonflies. Don't forget about glitter - rhinestones and beads are your faithful helpers!
