One of the most popular trends in nail design 2020 remains the classic white French. This is an excellent solution for creating a neat manicure for both everyday looks and holiday sets. For each client, the masters will select their own fashionable nail design. And we, in turn, cannot help but share the latest ideas for French manicure.
By the way, if we talk about nail trends, then a manicure with a French design will be the most fashionable option for nail decoration in 2022. This means that nail service masters will develop and offer white French in both classic and unusual versions.
Ideal French shapes
These include the square and most elegant shape - almonds. But, as a rule, the choice depends on the shape of your cuticle. If we talk about the length of the nails, then the French manicure looks luxurious on both long and short nail plates. The main thing is to pay attention to the accuracy of the work, the architecture of the nails and “smiles”.
Stylish ideas with rubbing on long nails
There is no better way to show off the beauty and charm of the rub than by placing it on long nails. Moreover, the shape of the nails is of secondary importance. The rub looks great on almond, pointed nails, pointe nails and others. The choice of rubbing depends on the preferences of the girl herself. On long nails, black, white, burgundy, and pale blue designs with rubbing look equally attractive.
On long nails, a plain manicure with rubbing looks great. The master’s task is to show the beauty of the material and not to fill it with additional decor such as contrasting patterns.
Layout white jacket
The white color of the smile line is considered a classic. And French, as a rule, is painted with white gel polish or regular varnish. Another option is to apply the technique of laying the material on the free edge of the nail when applying nail extensions. This is one of the most difficult modeling techniques. For example, a “triple smile”, where the middle color is not white. In this case, each layer is laid out separately and as accurately as possible.
At the client’s request, the French coat can be decorated with your favorite type of nail art. For example, one or two nails are additionally decorated with rhinestones or a design is applied. Fix the design with a top coat with shimmer, glossy or matte finish. The top allows you not only to protect the French from chips and scratches, but also to hide minor imperfections in the architecture of the nail.
Stylish French with rubbing 2019-2020: a popular new nail design
To work with rubbing, you only need to use gel polish or shellac. On a simple varnish, rubbing can also look attractive, but such a design will not last long.
When working with rubbing, several nuances must be taken into account:
- The nail plate must first be thoroughly polished
- You need to apply gel polish or shellac in a thin layer - try to evenly distribute the coating over the surface of the nail so that smudges and other irregularities do not form on it. Only under this condition will the rubbing look attractive and beautiful.
- the rub is applied with quick movements of the applicator, evenly distributed over all surfaces of the nail - excess material is removed using the back of the applicator or a dry manicure brush.
Rubbing is a truly practical coating that every girl can use. This pearlescent powder fits perfectly on gel polish of any color. The final result of the rubbing depends on the base coat: if the base is red, then the manicure will turn out to be soft pink; if it is orange, then it will be light peach. The advantages of rubbing include:
- convenience and ease of application
- room for creativity - there are a huge number of designs that can be made using rubbing
- combining rubbing with French, lunar design, gradient
- prostate removal cover
- availability of the material - the cost of rubbing is very affordable, the material is consumed economically
- durability of the coating - the design, strengthened with rubbing, lasts longer than conventional gel polish coatings
Stylized white jacket
Any classic design needs new interpretations according to the spirit of the times. What makes craftsmen look for new French models. So, new items appeared this year. For example, a stylized French nail design is an exclusive nail design using the basics of geometry, gradient, stamping and other styles.
This French style is made taking into account the bend of the arch of the nail plate. By the way, it greatly expands the boundaries of perception of familiar nail design. Not white “smiles”, but thin lines, geometric shapes and angles decorate the free edge of the nail. Nevertheless, the manicure looks gorgeous.
White jacket in company with other shades of smile design
The design of smile lines in white looks very stylish and impressive in itself. But in fact, the tips of the nails can be colored or black and white, and made in bright, catchy colors. And in some cases, such combinations look much more impressive than a classic French jacket.
Stylish mirror manicure for nails of any length
Mirror rubbing is a universal option for decorating marigolds. The material can be used to completely cover the nail plates or highlight individual areas of the design. The gold rub harmonizes perfectly with the white color. This is the best combination for creating everyday nail art.
Mirror rubbing goes well with black and burgundy gel polish. Use the rub to highlight your ring finger or individual patterns on your nails. In addition to glossy gel polish, use a matte texture. In combination with a black matte background, the mirror rub will look even more expressive and brighter.
Rubbing is the best thing you can come up with for simple and quick nail decoration. Experiment with colored bases for rubbing and create unique nail art that will not be inferior in beauty and grace to a manicure with inlay and stucco.
French manicure combined with moonlight
More than 100 years ago, moon manicure and French manicure became widespread. And their tandem in nail design is still considered a universal solution for every fashionista. In the classic version, the base is chosen in beige, milky or light pink tones, and the tips of the nails and holes are decorated with white gel polish. Alternatively, you can safely choose any color of the base, holes and “smiles”, depending on the occasion or mood.

Wedding jacket
Now wedding trend ideas for nail decoration are adjusted to the bride, her taste, desire, and not vice versa. After all, every bride is special, and she should be the center of attention. Traditionally, a white French manicure is chosen, which goes well with an engagement ring and a snow-white wedding dress.
The main thing is to remember just one rule of wedding style: there should be one accent in the bride’s image. So, if you have a dress decorated with sequins, then the remaining details of the image should be no frills. And vice versa, if you have minimalism, then your wedding manicure can have accent details. Let's say a white jacket with rhinestones or monograms.
Wedding French on nails: what you need to know about the ceremonial design
It is recommended to have a wedding manicure performed by a professional manicurist. Even if you have repeatedly done nail art for yourself, you should not take risks on the eve of such a significant event.
As for the shape of nails, almond-shaped is considered the undisputed leader. It is this delicate and feminine form that is designed to show the charm and beauty of women's hands. An oval, triangular French jacket looks great on almond nails. They are closest to the natural shape of the nail, look laconic and stylish even without complex decor.

Undoubtedly, there are exceptions, for example, when the bride wears a red dress or a white outfit with blue elements. Then in the manicure you can make room for the main wedding color, thereby creating a laconic and complete image.
French manicure is the best and time-tested manicure technique. It is the jacket that looks most advantageous in a wedding look. We offer you the TOP 5 chic nail art for a wedding celebration, which you can repeat on your nails.
Elegant snow-white jacket
For the most solemn, festive and important events, a French jacket will be an excellent option. If desired, the design can be decorated with glitter, tear-off foil, creating a “unicorn tear” design. And also with crystal chips, rubbing or, for example, Velor glitter.
In a word, white color will be a very elegant solution. It makes the handles noticeable, but at the same time it will suit any color of the image from red to blue.
Varieties of French
You can make a familiar design a little more original quite simply. To do this, just focus on the smile line. That is, give it an unusual shape. Let's look at the most popular options right now.
Reverse French
This type of design is often confused with the classic moon manicure. In fact, these are completely different options. After all, in a reverse jacket, the area along the growth line of the nail is formed. That is, it perfectly follows the given shape. The effect is a mirror smile line.
This manicure looks quite restrained, but no less attractive. In addition, visually the design makes the nails a little longer. It is for this reason that the reverse French style is often chosen by those with short nail plates.
Twist French
The French twist can rightfully be called a real hit of 2022. Of course, the process of creating it takes longer than usual. But the result is definitely worth it. Two thin lines from different sides are facing each other - this is the main feature of the twist jacket. The design can be made in one color scheme or in contrasting colors. Each option looks interesting in its own way.
Beveled design
As mentioned above, you can make an unusual jacket in different ways. One of the most popular is with a sloping smile line. It’s easy to implement even at home. The main thing is that it remains symmetrical on all nails. As for the color scheme, choose the most suitable option for yourself.
French with an unusual smile line
If the previous options seem too simple, then we suggest making a French jacket with a truly unusual smile line. For example, a thin, barely noticeable line to match the base coat is one of the most popular options for owners of short nails.
The angular line also looks quite unusual, with additional details or made as decoration. In general, each of the options looks original. Therefore, when choosing, you should rely only on personal preferences.
