French manicure 2022: new trends, techniques, secrets of a long-familiar design

The current 2022 can be safely called the year of the jacket, which has triumphantly returned to trends and beauty charts. At first glance, it does not have such an intricate design, but the masters come up with and offer more and more non-standard options that change the classic white and pink jacket beyond recognition.

Recall that the main feature of the classic jacket is the use of beige or light pink transparent shades on the nail bed with a white crescent-shaped free edge. Fashionable options today are the complete opposite of the classics in this type of design. Now masters use not only dense pastel colors on the nail plate, but also bright or dark decor. Such a manicure looks well-groomed, beautiful and bold – it is no coincidence that celebrities and influencers fell in love with it.  

They don't paint like that anymore. 

1 The classic jacket is no longer in favor. It is better to replace it with more recent ideas of the season, but if you are in love with it, do it on any shape and length of nails, but with a smooth, slightly rounded french line.

2 French triangle is not so fashionable today. It differs from the classics in clear, even lines in the form of a triangle. Today, such a design can be refreshed with matte colors.

3 The invisible jacket has also become bad manners. With it, the transition of shades is almost imperceptible, which makes the manicure seem to be invisible. And in 2022, brightness is in fashion.

4 A straight jacket without any bends is also not relevant. It implies straight French lines on the nails without emphasizing the natural pattern of the nail plate. Such a manicure makes the nails wider and deprives them of grace. Pay attention to the latest in nail design.
