History of appearance
This manner of painting nails appeared in the seventies of the last century in Hollywood, despite its name, and not in one of the French cities. His appearance was spontaneous: the fact is that actresses often simply did not have time to change their manicure for each of the new looks and clothes, which they needed to quickly get into and change into. In order to look organic while filming in any outfit, a special series of neutral polishes was released.

And now for more than forty years, French manicure, or in other words, French, has been decorating the fingers of women all over the world.

They are the ones who determine what shape and length the nails should be in a fashionable manicure. After all, no matter how stylish and trendy nail art is, without properly designed, neat nails there will be no desired effect.
As for the length of nails, this season the trend is short nails, as well as ultra-short ones: the tip of the nail plate should extend beyond the edge of the fingertip by no more than 4 millimeters. This is enough to ensure that the nail does not look too short, but still looks quite long. The shape of the nails should be oval, almond-shaped or rounded square.

- French jacket with a pattern;
- complex patterns;

How to make French gel polish?
The invention of gel polish made many women happy. Because this coating allows you to maintain the attractive appearance of your manicure for several weeks. In the modern pace of life, this is a real godsend, thanks to which you can take care of your nails much less often. At the same time, the process of applying gel polish is step-by-step, and therefore more labor-intensive. Therefore, the entire process often takes at least an hour. First of all, it is necessary to treat the cuticle using a trimmed or untrimmed manicure. You should choose it based on the condition of the cuticle. After which you can begin preparing the nail plate. This process involves giving it the correct shape and length. This often takes quite a bit of time, since it is important to do everything as carefully as possible.
The next step is to cover the nails with a base layer of special varnish. But be sure to consider what type of varnish you plan to use next. Since single-phase gel polishes do not require the application of a base layer. After this, you can start applying the jacket. If you plan to do a manicure yourself, then keep in mind that the processing time will be longer. It is quite difficult for beginners to make a beautiful smile line, so the best solution is to use a stencil. This is a special strip that can be of different widths and shapes. You need to carefully transfer the stencil onto the prepared nail plate. Then start painting the smile line. But keep in mind that when you remove the stencil, some of the varnish may come off a little. In this case, draw out the irregularities so that the white stripe turns out to be the correct shape. If the result suits you, you can dry the varnish in a lamp.
More experienced artists prefer to use a thin brush to draw the smile line. But this method requires regular practice. Only in this case will it be possible to make this line of the correct shape and in a short time. Therefore, in your free time, you can practice applying it with simple paints. The last step in creating the perfect jacket is applying a top coat. It must also be dried in a lamp.
Current classics
Based on the main trend of this spring-summer season, namely naturalness, the classic French jacket will continue to be on the wave of popularity. A manicure without a base coat at all, only with painted nail tips, will become relevant, in which it is necessary to pay special attention to high-quality cleaning: removing cuticles, hangnails, giving the same length and shape to all nail plates. Hands and nails should look as well-groomed as possible. This nail art looks natural and sophisticated.
Another version of the classic French jacket is a beige base and a white “smile” line. If this design seems a little boring, you can dilute it by combining it with a moon manicure. Moreover, do it either on all fingers, or only on a pair. In addition to beige, you can also use a soft pink shade for the base. When combining French with lunar, you can highlight the base line of the nail with a slightly darker tone of the same shade as the edge of the nail.

Fashionable colors
The shape and length of the nails are the basis, but the materials used and, of course, the color scheme make the manicure bright and unusual. The trend for summer 2022 will be pastel colors, namely: cream, beige, fawn, creamy, powdery, salmon, and milky shades. All of them are good not only as a basis for a Hollywood-style manicure, but also as an independent coating.
But in addition to the classics, the spring/summer 2022 season also suggests paying attention to another trend : colored jackets. Firstly, it is difficult to imagine a fashionable image of decorative manicure for such a hot season without bright summer colors. And secondly, the year of the fiery rooster dictates its own rules, in particular regarding color preferences. So for a French manicure in bright colors you can freely choose:
- red;
- green;
- yellow;
- orange;
- blue.
And, of course, all sorts of shades of these colors. But you shouldn’t do a manicure that is too flashy, because it will contradict the basic rule: naturalness. Remember the combination of feathers of the owner of the year according to the Chinese calendar; these are exactly the color combinations that nature dictates. Also, both matte and glossy coatings can be used simultaneously in one design.

For the New Year's holiday, French manicure can be done in the trendy colors of next year of the Fire Rooster - these are all shades of red and yellow, orange, purple, shades of green, blue, pastel colors. soft lilac, milky white, soft pink, coffee. Using bright coatings of juicy berry colors will make your manicure design more elegant. You can complement the jacket with a pattern of stripes, lace, funny cockerels, snowmen, Christmas trees and additionally decorate with rhinestones, sparkles, sand, etc.
Short nails and French manicure
Another big trend in 2022 is short nails, and all designs are created keeping this length in mind. This is due to the fact that for a classic French manicure, a nail with a protruding edge of about 2 millimeters will not be enough; a smile on such a nail plate will only make it visually shorter and wider, as a result of which the fingers will appear thicker. But this is not at all the effect that every girl wants to achieve: she wants a manicure to make her hands more graceful.
But there is a solution to this problem: a fashionable colored and non-standard French manicure. Owners of especially short nails should avoid overly contrasting color combinations, choosing to create such a jacket colors from one or a similar palette of shades that gently resonate with each other and do not create sharp transitions. For example, you can combine purple with lilac, blue with blue, and so on.
Striped French manicure
Stripes are relevant in all nail designs in 2022, and French is no exception. The edge of the nail can be painted in a standard curved way, that is, with a smile line, or with a clear, even stripe. In addition, it is encouraged to draw a vertical stripe on the nail plate, which will divide the nail into two different or identical parts.
This can be done in the same color as the edge of the nail or in a different color, but not too contrasting to it and the base. Or, for example, make a stripe with golden varnish, rhinestones, sparkles for special, festive occasions. In this case, you get a French style in the Hollywood style. If you are doing a French manicure with a stripe yourself, use a special adhesive tape that will allow the stripe to be perfectly even.

For this option, the nail plate is covered with transparent varnish, and the smile line is covered with colored varnish, and the shade can be quite bright.
A French ombre will look very stylish, where there is no clear transition line between the plate coating and the smile.
