The history of French manicure began quite a long time ago. In those days, exclusively light natural shades were used to decorate it. And only for the smile line they chose white. Manicure immediately became popular due to its versatility and it remains so to this day. Nevertheless, over time, all prohibitions faded into the background and nail artists began experimenting with pleasure, creating various types of designs. Therefore, today we propose to consider the features of modern French gel polish.
Peculiarities
Not all fashionistas realize how the white French jacket differs from its classic version. In fact, the whole secret of the differences lies in the base coat. In the white variation of the French manicure, the base remains transparent or is coated in a natural beige or nude pink shade. For a classic French jacket, pink or nude tones are better suited.
White French manicure is the personification of elegance, elegance and impeccable taste. Like any classic solution, it boasts versatility and practicality. For a long time it was believed that such a design could not be found better for a wedding or office. This is true. But now the boundaries of the use of white French have expanded, as has its design embodiment.
Note! The fashion trends of the 2020 season are ruled by naturalness, so it is better not to use a boiling white color in the design of a jacket. Milky and cream tones look softer and more natural.
White millennium manicure with glitter
The French millennium differs from the classic version in that the tip of the nail plate is decorated with gold, silver varnish or a composition containing sparkles and other iridescent particles. This manicure is ideal for dinner parties and holiday parties.
Creating a French millennial look is not difficult. To do this you need:
- cover your nails with white, pink or milky gel polish
- Sprinkle the tips of the nail plate with glitter or cover with glitter gel polish
The end result should be a design similar to a gradient, only here glitter is used as a second color.
Until this time, white color was used only as a complement to general nail art. However, it can become the main one in any design, especially if we are talking about feminine French manicure.
White color is as limitless as black. A seemingly simple shade can create hundreds of original nail art designs that will look unusual and beautiful every time.
Nail shape and length
French nail art looks amazing on any nails, but fashion trends recommend taking a closer look at the oval and almond shapes. With this design, a short length visually appears longer, and long nails look sophisticated and elegant.
As for the trendy length of the plates, the top has a “golden mean”. Predatory stilettos and shockingly long nails have faded into the background, kindly giving way to the leader of a comfortable short or medium length.
Seasonal drawings
Another bright trend of the 2020 season is a French jacket combined with thematic patterns. For example, the favorites of spring and summer are juicy fruits and berries, seascapes, and bright flowers. Look at the photo how well a white French jacket looks with such an active design on the ring finger. But the decor of each nail in such a manicure would look pretentious and inappropriate.
Gentle manicure
Interesting! A white jacket with a bright pattern will look stylish provided it has a transparent or matte base.
Summer French
A summery and unusual jacket is a combination of a smile design, decorative embellishments and bright color. In the summer we can afford a bright and attractive jacket. A French jacket decorated with berries and fruits looks attractive and bright. To give this jacket a touch of delicacy, simply add a lace pattern. This manicure will lift your spirits and make you happy. The best summer jacket is a floral and bright pattern. An appropriate and good decoration for a bright summer jacket would be bouillons, rhinestones and stones. The summer solution for a French jacket is a multi-colored or rainbow jacket. The manicure looks playful and stylish due to the smooth transition of colors. This manicure is increasingly being chosen for vacations and at sea.
Stunning design on one finger

Beautiful design
Chic black and white jacket
The combination of black and white is appropriate in any circumstances, be it a strict office style or a party look. There are many options for black and white manicure. For light everyday nail art, use both colors to draw the “smile” line; for formal looks, a plain black nail coat with white gel polish on the edge of the nail would be appropriate.
The contrasting combination of black and white is beneficial when used in geometric designs. Opposite shades create a visual 3D effect, especially on a matte surface.
Combination with gold and silver
The key trend of recent seasons is the combination of French design with gold or silver elements. A smile can be metallic - it looks extraordinary and stylish. This elegant design is called French millennium. It is also fashionable to use gold and silver to decorate various designs - geometry, flowers or inscriptions.
Main rules
- Dark colors tend to visually shorten the nail plates, so it is not recommended to use it as a base. Light and translucent colors will be a win-win solution.
- The classic version of the French manicure involves decorating the protruding edge of the nail with light varnish. This line can be refined - this way the manicure looks more neat. By the way, the thinnest line at the edge of the plate is a key trend for the 2019-2020 season.
- A design with rhinestones looks appropriate on short nails, but if the sparkling decor is small in size.
- A harmonious manicure can be complemented with drawings. Nail art masters advise painting simple and laconic patterns using a thin brush. Graceful monograms will look stylish and feminine.

Sand decor

Double stripe
Among the new products of the white jacket, the design with a double stripe as in the photo loudly announced itself. Emphasize your smile with a thin contrasting line or highlight it with glitter, and your design will become mega-stylish.
Another trendy idea is a French jacket with multi-colored stripes that overlap each other. This is a great shake up to a classic design!

Nails with a natural color, coated with clear varnish to create shine, look original with a diagonal stripe. The fashion for minimalism has not yet been canceled. Another manifestation of this technique is a slightly contoured edge of the nail. A polish with a lot of glitter is suitable for this.

Fashionable geometry
Another original design for French gel polish on short nails is a geometric pattern. For drawing, you can use dots of different diameters to create a polka dot pattern. Or glue strips in different directions.
Use a nude shade for the background, and black gel polish to draw the pattern. On one nail, do not highlight the “smile” line, but draw a geometric pattern with dots. You can use several dots to draw circles of different diameters. This design is suitable for a formal business style.
Brilliant decor
Each fashion season offers its own new decor items, which means a white jacket can never get boring. The hit of the 2020 season is luxurious rhinestones, laconic kamifubuki, glitter and the “broken glass” effect. See how these trends can transform classic designs.
For fashionistas who prefer minimalism, there is a fresh solution - decorating a French jacket with glitter or rhinestones on 1-2 nails. The most stylish technique is to glue shiny decor as close to the holes as possible.
If you don’t like such active decor, take a closer look at a more modest rub. Absolutely, a fashionable white jacket in the 2020 season will not be complete without an elegant chrome finish.
Glitter for creating a delicate jacket
Some might say that delicate French and glitter glitter are incompatible elements. But fashion dictates its own rules. Modern masters even add various glitters, foil, rubs and glitter to create a discreet jacket. Finish the free edge not with classic regular gel polish, but with glitter - and you will get a chic and at the same time not vulgar manicure. With such a manicure, there is no shame in going to a restaurant or to an important meeting. An effective way to create a gentle and stylish jacket 2020 is to highlight one or two nails with glitter. This could be a continuous coating or some kind of pattern.
Ideas for short length
In the new season, there are no strict requirements for the shape of short nails, but an unconditional rule is put forward for the design of a smile - it must strictly follow the contour of the nail and not exceed 2 mm. If you ignore this limitation, the white border will take up too much free space and visually shorten the length.
On short nails, a design with a pattern or decoration on only one finger is preferable. But at the same time, you should not limit yourself in choosing an accent - luxurious modeling or rhinestones have a place even in moderate lengths.
A white jacket is the epitome of understated elegance, and with its fashionable design for the 2020 season, it will become a sophisticated addition to your stylish look. Experiment with this classic nail art and you will always look fashionable and feminine. Believe me, a white French jacket has never failed any fashionista!
