In the summer, you really want to add brightness, sophistication and grace to your nails, and this can be done with the help of a blue jacket - a new format for reading classic French manicure. It is increasingly being created by both celebrities and ordinary girls who know a lot about fashion trends.
How not to get lost in the ocean of ideas and design a stylish nail art suitable for any occasion?
Let's start in order.

Now the white jacket will have to leave the pedestal of popularity, because it is being shifted by analogs made in all colors. Of course, one of the recognized ones is dark blue, which favorably emphasizes both young fingers and the handle of an adult lady. The abundance of shades creates a wide range for any situation.
The reasons why women sing laudatory odes to this technique are as follows:
- Attracts attention. Catching admiring glances with this design is much easier. If you additionally use the base and camouflage, a certain contrast is created that makes the marigolds more expressive and noticeable.
- Long worn. And the point here is not only in the coating of gel polish. The beige camouflage base looks natural and blends into the base plate for discreet regrowth. If you are a lady whose gel polish lasts for a long time without chips and cracks, feel free to choose a colored jacket.
- Design is the perfect field for experimentation. Rhinestones, kamifubuki, broken glass - just a small list of everything that perfectly suits the heavenly substrate.
The drawbacks include subtleties in drawing, but this disadvantage is compensated for by modern design methods. Today, using stencils, sponges and brushes, it is easy to repeat the smile line at home.
The only thing experienced craftsmen warn about: practice in advance, otherwise you will have to redo all the work.
Nail shape 2019: an experiment that will definitely work out
The same pattern looks different on different plates.
What is the reason for this?
First of all, with the natural features of the hands and body. But do not forget that the edging of nails plays an important role in the general appearance of nail art.
Before going to the beauty salon, check out the shaping guide.
Let's take a look at which of them the hero of the article is able to make an ideal duet with.
Soft oval - beyond praise
Delicate and natural shape that matches any nail art. She visually stretches out her full fingers, helping the drawing to open up and play. French on this basis looks sophisticated and stylish.
Oval is preferred by everyone: both office workers and housewives. He has no restrictions and taboos. It is supposed to be created on long nails. Grinding an oval on short plates would be a big mistake. If you want to create such a design, it is better to wait until the length grows or use extensions.
Mysterious almond
A must-have for any trendy street fashionista. A few years ago, almonds were weird and were only worn by the brave. Today it is a part of everyday life that suits most girls.
For convenience, you can vary the angle of the saw cut by asking the master to make it round.
Why not make nail art brighter by mixing 2 fashion trends - blue and soft oval?
Diluting the square pattern
The early 2010s saw an unprecedented boom per square meter. It was complemented with sparkles, moldings and beads, creating pomp."More volume is needed" - the motto of the masters of that time.
Today, all women are moving away from the abundance of jewelry, preferring minimalistic counterparts. A blue jacket is what you need: brightness compensates for the absence of unnecessary details and creates a symphony of grace with a square.
Having dealt with the shapes, let's move on to the basics - let's see how you can complement this unusual color.
Diversity of smiles: breaking the rules
The design of the free edge according to the canons of the nail industry is created depending on the existing shape. In the oval it is a crescent, in the square there is an even frame, and almonds and stilettos are angular.
This is the classic path that most people often take. But now is 2019, and the soul is asking for something new, unexpected and futuristic.
Here are some alternatives that, in combination with dark blue, will become companions of an unusual jacket:
- Combination with holes. This technique is also called reverse, because the smile line is complemented by a shaped base. There are no boundaries: you can create a clearly traced free edge and put a minimalistic dot next to the cuticle. Moreover, this symbiosis is now at the top of most designer shows.
- Unusual free edge. In this case, they resort to using stencils in the form of a crown, heart and stars. For young ladies, we offer a delicate design with clouds at the edge of the plate - blue will create the effect of purity, tenderness and grace. The French principle in this case will remain, because we also shape the tip of the plate, leaving the main part beige.
- A slanted smile. Fully reflects the super popular version of nail art in the style of geometry. Blue is the final note, demonstrating to others the unusual nature of a woman. Angularity looks good with both a basic wardrobe and an office dress code.
For everyday bows, it is better to choose muted tones.
Stylish ideas
At first glance, it seems that such a bright color is only suitable for a party. But many photos prove the opposite: incredible combinations with geometry and mother-of-pearl add elegance and chic to everyday manicure.
Let's summarize and describe the TOP-best solutions suitable for ladies of all ages:
- With drawing. As we described earlier, geometry, weirdness and abstraction are in fashion in 2019. When looking at clothing and some popular accessories, it's easy to get inspired by the spirit of rebelliousness and daring. We propose to move away from the usual butterflies and reproduce one of the most popular drawings - a face made in the Picasso style. A white edging combined with a heavenly edge will also look good.
- With rhinestones... Stones have become a regular feature of well-groomed hands. But now they are not laid out thoughtlessly as before. Now rhinestones are additions that create a minimal accent in the overall picture of nail art. They decorate the base, lay out diagonal stripes or emphasize the smile line. Use bulky stones and special glue suitable for the consistency of the gel polish.
If you like convex rhinestones, it is better to contact the master. It will help prolong the durability and make sure that the stones do not crumble on the first day of wearing.
- With sequins - both to the feast and to the world! Many people mistakenly consider the technique to be exclusively festive. Sequins make up basic modern nail art when combined with the main color. In the case of a jacket, it is better to complete 1 small drawing on several fingers. It will be good to use gold or silver sparkles - they will best emphasize the heavenly background.
- Matte finish. What if not a rough top will add texture and tenderness to your nails without unnecessary details? Even monochrome with a matte finish will be luxurious. In the summer season, masters put on drawings: 1 nail is covered with a detail and decorated with a velor top, and the rest are finished with gloss. The transition of shine and powderiness on the hands looks very organic.But keep in mind that matte implies the impeccable condition of the nails: the absence of regrown cuticles and an even plate. An unpleasant property of the velor top is the accentuation of small defects. It is recommended to leave the smile line glossy, and cover the nail bed with a matte finish.
- With broken glass... An alternative to sequins and rhinestones, which entered the novelties of the nail industry in 2019. Small iridescent scales will give the blue crystal tints, visible even to the naked eye.

There are too many ways to make the design even brighter and more noticeable. If the fantasy is limited to the options presented above, then it is worth experimenting with the palette, adding additional shades to the heavenly.
Create a color mood
Having laid out the best combinations on the shelves, we select a list of favorites that merge with blue into a single composition:
- With white... A classic option that provides a design for any occasion. On a blue background, it is easy to practice drawings of varying complexity, and the light texture that white leaves will highlight the background and add a little accent. If it seems that light nail art is barely noticeable on a dark blue base, then diversify the design with rhinestones, a small glittering highlight, or add strokes of black, beige or red. This way your hands will not remain invisible.
- Blue-yellow. Perfect reflection of current trends. Yellow in this case looks like neon, highlighting the dark base. Masters recommend decorating a jacket in a canary shade, and decorating a hole with blue in the spirit of minimalism. The result is an uncomplicated design that has just descended from the pages of fashion magazines. The yellow and blue jacket also goes well with abstraction and prints.
Choose carefully the shades in this mix, otherwise there is a risk of creating the effect of a "cheap" manicure.
- With gold. There are enough experiments for this pair - they have already proven themselves with any technique. Spraying adds luxury and richness to the blue, even if the jacket is made without large details and patterns. Proponents of minimalism happily clap their hands: now, in order to be in trend, it is enough to highlight the blue smile line with a gold stripe. To do this, you can purchase duct tape from cosmetic stores.
- Navy blue. Sometimes, in order to add sophistication to a jacket, it is not necessary to look for opposites in the color palette - you can use an adjacent shade. Dark blue will add accent to 1 finger, while the rest will be done using the French manicure technique. This solution is easy to implement in a gradient nail art format.
- White and red. A truly patriotic combination looks great in the form of abstract brush strokes. In the case of a jacket, it is better to make the smile line a little thinner or beveled to one of the edges. This technique will add integrity to the overall look of nail art.
- Red-blue... An incredibly bright option that not every girl dares to. But it all depends on the client's taste: you can beat the palette without any difficulties. Drawing in the form of chaotic stripes, the design of blots with gold sparkles, the addition of a matte finish - all this helps the red-blue combination to open up on the hands.
Should I use other colors?
Of course, because brightness and originality are now at their peak of popularity. Masters strongly encourage experimentation and confirm this photo of manicure from fashion shows.
Complement the blue with any shades, but do not forget about the color compatibility - this is the rule that adds the winning points to the wearer.
Is the design relevant for a pedicure
Turning to the trends, we note that the blue manicure on the legs looks somewhat amazing. However, a bright smile line will help accentuate tanned skin and draw attention to your foot. Throw a little thicker on the free edge and enjoy the neat pedicure design.
Monochrome with a neon tint will give a special completeness - it will come in handy with a swimsuit or a light sundress.
Vary the midtones of the blue and make sure there are tons of ways to enhance the beauty of your heels and toes.
Fashion trends of the season
Summarizing this article, we note that abstraction, neon and unusualness are in fashion, and all this, combined with blue, merges into the wave of popular nail art trends.
When studying beauty magazines and portals, do not forget that you yourself are the main creator of trends. Do not hesitate to realize your wildest desires on your nails, because as Christian Dior said: “Your beautiful hands will say a lot more about your style without a single word”!
