French manicure
French manicure or just “French” is one of the most tenacious fashion trends. French is a universal nail design. The nail plate is covered with a nude coating and the tip of the nail with a white crescent shape stripe. This classic design has been a favorite among women for a long time. Every woman can change the usual type of French to show their individuality and mood. For example, replace the white stripe with any other color or make it in the form of an ombre.
Ombre
Ombre (gradient) is a mixture of one color with another, usually a smooth transition from one color to another. This technique has become a popular feature for coloring nails, hair, and even baking. Trendy ombre manicure looks spectacular on long nails. This allows you to mix more than two shades. It is better to do light and pastel shades of polish for short nails. White ombre is an alternative to the French manicure. We use a translucent pink or nude color as a basis, in that case, the transition will look gentle and accurate. In addition to this design, we can offer to highlight 1-2 nails, for example with the crystal crumb SwarovskiCrystalPixie, or Swarovski Crystals. Or it can be supplemented with white color stamping. For those who like brighter and contrasting shades, we can offer many other shades like dark, bright, acidic, gentle. Ombre can be made both matte and glossy.
Anti-french
This design is an inverted French manicure. Its band is located at the base of the nail plate. In essence, the anti-French is a combination of two contrasting shades of varnish. One is the base, the other is drawn in the bottom of the nail. The band visually lengthens the nail plate. Nails seem more elegant with this style.
Moon manicure
Moon manicure is a kind of nail art and is the reverse of the classic French. The main feature of this design is that the crescent is drawn at the base of the nails. They come in several types. Their shapes are reflecting the shape of the nail, or resemble a crescent. Moon manicure can be minimalist, restrained, or bright and full of shine. It is simple, concise, and elegant.
