The yellow palette always looks bright and fresh, so a French manicure made in a similar color is ideal for cheerful and positive young ladies. Plus, yellow is a great alternative to the pinks and nudes that are most commonly used in French design. The yellow color very favorably emphasizes the tan on the skin, which is very important for the warm season, looks good on nail plates of any shape and length, and also, as it may not sound surprising, perfectly complements many outfits. Therefore, today we propose to pay attention to the yellow jacket and propose to take a closer look at some ideas for its design.
Fashion trends
A manicure made in the proposed color palette can be classified as a bold design that automatically attracts attention, so nail artists tried to take into account all the wishes of modern fashionistas and offered variations that can look decent and win the hearts of even the most fastidious people. The yellow French jacket, despite its bright nature, is perfectly complemented in the design process with rhinestones, crystal chips, fimo decorations, drawings and many other decor ideas. Nails can be discreet and calm or decorated with sparkles if desired, and can also be beautifully combined with other shades of varnish in a manicure.

"Classic" yellow jacket
The design of a yellow manicure in the classic design format involves covering the tip of the nail plate with one of the shades of the yellow palette instead of the standard white varnish. The yellow smile line, despite its emotionality, looks very restrained, laconic and harmoniously complements the transparent base of the nail. In addition, yellow shades can be beautifully located at the very base of the nail. In this version, the smile line is formed with a white or darker shade of yellow.

Yellow jacket with geometry
Geometric designs are very popular in modern manicure and provide complete freedom for self-expression and the translation of creative ideas into reality. Geometric designs can be thin lines, zigzags and various geometric shapes, painted with black varnish or made using the “negative space” technique. Diamonds and cubes made in the “color block” style and dark-colored graphic designs consisting of many individual geometric details look gorgeous in a yellow jacket.
Lace design
Openwork patterns combine very beautifully with yellow nail polish, especially if the images are made in black. The ornate designs pair beautifully with the yellow tip of the nail plate and beautifully decorate fully colored accent nails. French can be classic or inverted. Also, in such an example, the smile line, decorated with curls and monograms, looks very interesting. Images are applied to the base using a thin brush or stamping technique.

Horizontal transitions will help highlight areas characteristic of French in the example of complete coloring of the nail plate.

Popular shades of orange in 2022
As already noted, the orange palette has more than a hundred shades. Of course, you can do a manicure with any one you just like. But in each season, nail art masters highlight the most relevant tones. They tend to be consistent with those that fashion designers call at fashion weeks when presenting their collections. Let's talk about the shades that are a must-have for nail design in the 2021-2022 season.
Bright orange
Juicy orange in nail design. The color itself is very active and will make your nails noticeable. To mute the design, the coating can be made matte. If you don’t want an intense look, make a muted design - highlight one or two nails on your hand with a bright color.
Be sure to combine a bright tone with a contrasting one. Bright orange is a must-have attribute for festive nail designs - for Halloween, New Year or a regular disco. In the latter case, it is permissible to make a neon mono design.
Carrot color
The natural shade of carrots is somewhat muted compared to the previous color. It is suitable for young girls and brave people who want brightness and color. Such a base will make friends with any design, and the manicure will sparkle with new colors.
Subtle orange
A blurred, muted shade of orange in nail design is preferred by those who want to do an everyday manicure. Nails in this color look well-groomed, especially if a matte finish is chosen. It’s very easy to turn velvet nails into a festive design; just highlight one or two with sparkles, rhinestones or rubbing.
Neon orange
The most intense shade in the palette. You should be careful with it, even if nail art masters place it at the very top of the list of relevance. Remember the main rule of nail design is relevance. That is, a mono manicure in neon color is acceptable at a disco, a themed party, and in a company where there are no strict dress code requirements. But for everyday life, it’s acceptable to single out one or two fingers.
