French manicure fell in love with beautiful ladies and fashion experts almost as soon as it appeared. However, the classic version is used so often that many people have already become tired of it. In search of variety, nail art masters came up with a golden jacket. It looks not only original and stylish, but also very expensive. In the current article, we will look at the best ideas for this design. We will tell you about the technology for executing even the most complex versions, so that beginners can implement their idea.
French manicure with regular polishes
French technology is known even to children. However, in the modern world, designs made using gel varnishes have become popular. In this case, the actions are significantly different from what we are used to. And then we will talk about this in detail. But first, let's talk about the technology for making French paint using ordinary varnishes. This manicure is carried out in this way:
- Adjust the length and shape of the nails, remove the cuticles, and polish the surface.
- Then apply pale pink polish to the nail plate. If there are no chips, white spots or other defects on your nails, you can leave them natural.
- Dry the base.
- Then, using stencils or a thin brush, if the artist has enough skill to work freehand, mark a “smile” on the tip of the nail.
- Dry the result.
- Apply clear varnish on top.
- And then wait for the golden jacket to dry completely.
Manicure design with stripes in different styles
Manicure with foil stripes
The good thing about different lines on your nails is that you can choose a design to suit any shape and length of the plate. The main thing is to vary the thickness of the strips. Short ones look better with thin lines that visually lengthen the nails. For long strips, both thin and thick strips are suitable.
Of the nail plate shapes with lines, the pointed one looks best. The pasted strips will further emphasize the lines of the free edge; fingers with this pattern will look longer and more graceful. But if you place the strips vertically, you can also lengthen oval nails.
Nail art with stripes and flowers
The sophisticated design combines lines with classic roses, peonies, lavender or vibrant tropical plants. To quickly repeat a design, take 2 contrasting colors: in classic black and white, a thin brush, a matching design or a sticker with a floral pattern.
Paint your nails white; wait until the background is completely dry. Using a thin black brush, draw 2 straight vertical lines closest to one of the side ridges. After the varnish has dried, glue the selected sticker to the line and secure with topcoat.
French with stripes
The classic French manicure is often complemented by vertical stripes in the center of the nail plate. This option helps to visually lengthen the fingers: a smile “eats up” the length a little.”
It is better to choose a strip in the color of the jacket so as not to overload the design.
Paint your nails the main color and cover with a matte top coat. On one pair of nails, paint vertical stripes with the base shade. Fill the space with rhinestones so that the varnish does not bleed through - the strip will shine against the background of the matte top.
Attention: attach rhinestones from large to small. Make the main composition of large, noticeable ones and fill the blanks with broth.
Striped manicure and geometry
Striped manicures are often tightly intertwined with geometric patterns. This manicure looks stylish, fashionable and beautiful. By creating geometric shapes on your nails from various stripes, you will get an excellent design solution for a manicure.
Striped manicure in a marine style
Striped manicure with a marine theme is one of the most common. And when it comes to striped manicure, many people associate it with a nautical theme. Today, nautical-style manicure is fashionable and relevant. Marine style manicure is perfect for both summer holidays and the everyday hustle and bustle of a summer city. The main thing is that it matches the chosen image.
Striped manicure – minimalist style
The minimalist style in manicure design is one of the most popular today. Drawings in this style are always restrained and laconic in execution, but look great on women’s nails, regardless of their length and shape. If you're experimenting and looking for a versatile style without design, go for a minimalist striped manicure. Discreet stripes based on a neutral color look very gentle and impressive.
Striped manicure and floral designs
At first glance, a striped manicure with a floral pattern may seem like an incompatible design solution. But modern women are not afraid to experiment.
A striped manicure combined with a rich and bright floral pattern looks incredibly attractive and beautiful. A striped manicure with a floral pattern added will add tenderness, romance and a certain lightness to the image.
A manicure with a floral stripe for a bright and festive manicure is an original option that can be complemented with various rhinestones, strips of foil, and rubbing. In addition, this manicure has no seasonal restrictions.
Striped manicure is an updated design solution, regardless of the season. One of the main conditions for choosing a striped manicure is the correct design and appropriate use of various decor. This is the only way you will get a stylish and interesting nail design.
Striped manicure using vertical and horizontal stripes
Designers recommend using vertical stripes in manicure for women with short nails. Such strips will visually lengthen the nail plate and make the manicure attractive. Therefore, vertical striped manicure is very popular.
If you are not afraid to experiment, we recommend decorating your nails with horizontal stripes. When creating such a manicure, a combination of different textures and colors will look wonderful and bold. This striped manicure is a modern solution in nail design that looks very beautiful, bright and unusual.
Gel design
Nowadays, most beautiful ladies prefer to do nail art with gel. And all because such manicure and pedicure makes the nail surface much thicker and stronger. Nails do not break for a long time, and the design, thanks to a special coating, lasts longer. Even if you have to swim in sea water or frequently use detergents. Of course, the design being studied is also most often performed using gel varnishes.
The principle of application is in many ways similar to the previous version:
- First of all, get your nails in order.
- Then they are covered with a base, which dries for half a minute under a lamp.
- Next, the base varnish is applied.
- And it dries under the lamp for three minutes.
- The “smile” is created using stencils or a brush.
- Then the almost finished golden jacket is dried in ultraviolet light for two minutes.
- Finally, each nail is coated with a finishing coat. If you use a top without dispersion, you can do without the final step.
- Now you should moisten a lint-free cloth in the cleanser and wipe your nails to remove the stickiness.
Pink French gel polish
To get a long-lasting manicure with a beautiful glossy shine, it is better to use gel polish to create it. In addition to gel polishes of the desired colors, you will need: an ultraviolet lamp for drying the polish, stencils for French manicure, base and finish, primer.
We perform nail design in the following sequence:
- We prepare the nails, degrease and coat them with primer.
- Then we paint all the nail plates with bright pink gel polish. Place your hands under an ultraviolet lamp for a couple of minutes to allow the gel to dry.
- Glue a stencil along the border of the regrown tip. We paint the tip with white gel polish. Remove the stencil and dry your nails under the lamp for two minutes.
- We remove the sticky layer using a special liquid and apply a finishing coat, which we also dry under the lamp for several seconds.

French with gold foil
The design shown in the main photo is completed much faster than it might seem. But first you need to prepare materials and tools. In this case, these are: basic varnish, rhinestones and small beads, a toothbrush, gold foil. If you use regular polishes, you will also need nail glue and clear polish. Having completed the preparatory stage, we move on to the main thing:
- After processing the nail plates and applying the base (if necessary), we cover them with base.
- Dry in a suitable manner.
- Next, use glue or topcoat to draw a straight “smile” line. And attach the foil.
- We dry the result.
- And carefully clean off the excess foil with a toothbrush.
- We cover the golden jacket with a finishing coat.
- In a regular manicure, we dry it, and then use glue to attach the rhinestones.
- In the gel one, we immediately place rhinestones on the top. And only after that we dry it.
However, it is important to immediately warn that rhinestones do not adhere well to a regular manicure and may fall off on the same day.
Nail design options “red French with gold”
A red jacket with gold elements is also suitable for office work. In this case, preference should be given to a modest nail design, which at the same time looks stylish and relevant. A light cream varnish is used as a base, the tips are painted red, and a thin gold stripe is applied along the “smile” line. If desired, you can apply small rhinestones to several fingers.
Several stylish options for nails with a red jacket and gold in the photo below:
Original French
For the following design you will need: golden shimmer, varnishes – black and amber, a toothpick and a finishing coat. It is more convenient to perform nail art with gel polishes, but if you try, you can do it with regular ones. To perform a golden jacket on nails, you should:
- Treat the nail plates.
- Draw a “smile” on the tip and fill the separated area with golden glitter.
- Dry the result.
- Using a toothpick, make a line of black dots.
- Dry it.
- Break off the tip of the toothpick.
- Place two peas of black and amber color on the index and ring fingers.
- Fix the action in ultraviolet light or wait for the varnish to dry completely.
- Finish the manicure.
- And carry out the final drying of the nails with a golden jacket from the photo presented above.
Black and green manicure with gold
Green tones - from neon to olive - are on trend. If the dense black color of the varnish is heavy, then the best solution would be to combine it with green shades and gold decor. See examples in our selection of photos.
Black and gold French manicure
The following design looks no less impressive. For it you should prepare two types of varnish - matte, black, and shiny gold. As well as a thin brush or stencils, a toothbrush. It is worth noting that the presented nail art allows you to practice using a brush. Because in this case the line does not have to be perfectly straight. When everything you need is ready, we move on to implementing the idea shown in the photo above:
- We process the nails, if necessary, apply and dry the base.
- We cover each nail with matte black varnish. Or we use regular or gel gloss varnish, and apply a matte finish on top of it.
- Then, using golden varnish, paint a “smile” on the tip of the first nail plate.
- But we don’t dry the result, but take a toothbrush, apply it to the shiny line and gently pull it to the base of the nail, creating an original pattern.
- Having achieved the desired effect, dry the matte black jacket with gold.
- At the end of the manicure, do not cover it with a top coat, otherwise the idea will be ruined.
What is a golden French manicure?
Agree, if you cover the entire nail plate with gold varnish, the manicure will not have a stylish and modest look. A woman’s look will be quite original and incredibly gentle combined with a French manicure, where the usual white tips will be replaced by golden rounded lines. Thus, a modern manicure will become graceful and cute. As the main varnish coating, you can use not only pastel and nude shades, but also black, red, and burgundy colors.
White and gold jacket
The next version of the type of manicure being studied looks very gentle and beautiful. It’s not difficult to do it at home. For professional craftsmen, the technique is obvious, but for beginners we offer step-by-step instructions:

- Then apply white polish to all nails, except those on the ring fingers.
- Dry it.
- And do the same with the remaining nails, using golden glitter.
- Afterwards, you need to take a convenient tool and shape the tips of your nails.
- Dry the result.
- Finally, apply the finishing coat.
- And carry out the final drying of the white jacket with gold.
Black manicure with gold rhinestones
All nail designs have their own characteristics and mood in the design. Believe me, rhinestones on a black finish can look very elegant and absolutely fashionable. Both silver and gold can now be used in your manicure not only for an evening out, but also in everyday life.
Red and gold jacket
For a special event, many beautiful people choose the design proposed in the photo above. Making it is much easier than it seems. You just need to know the technology of gradient manicure, which we will discuss below:
- The first step is to prepare gold and red varnish, a household sponge or brush for stretching, any decorations and a thin brush for making the design.
- Then apply two regular varnishes to the sponge so that one slightly overlaps the other. And make an imprint on the nail plate.
- Or mentally divide the nail into two halves and apply a different gel polish to each. Blur the border with a stretching brush.
- Dry the French (red and gold, when dry, retain the richness of the tone).
- Supplement it with a pattern, rhinestones, or leave it in its original form.
- Cover with finish and dry one last time.
