Mirror French
The French type of manicure is a classic that will never lose its popularity. Thanks to the mirror rubbing, such a jacket will look more stylish and unusual. The craftsmen here highlight the smile zone in a chrome or gold mirror finish.
Design ideas with rubbing
New products in the manicure industry appear with enviable regularity, just keep an eye out. We have collected the most interesting ideas in our selection below. We invite you to admire the beautiful works and, perhaps, choose a design for your nails.
White
A white jacket with shimmering rubs is suitable not only for everyday wear, but also for a special occasion. Almost any rub can be used to decorate a classic jacket, but the most successful ones will be:
- mirror;
- golden;
- pearl;
- "prism".
Using a silver mirror rub, you can cover 1 – 2 nails completely or fill individual design elements with it, for example, holes. A classic white and pink jacket with a mirrored silver rub under a matte top looks stylish. This design is best done for square shaped nails.
Gold and white French are a classic combination. Gold powder can be used to rub the tips of the nails where the smile line is not drawn, or to completely cover an accent nail with it. It is recommended to choose gold rub if you wear gold rings and bracelets. Then it will look especially harmonious.
Pearl rub in combination with a white and pink jacket creates an incredibly delicate and romantic manicure. Soft light shimmers of powder make the design calm and restrained. If you add mother-of-pearl beads, white kamifubuki or broths, designs of monograms or flowers to some nails, the design can be considered as an option for the image of a bride or graduate.
Blue
For a blue jacket, prism rubbing and powder with a holographic effect are best suited. Their multi-color tints have shades of blue and gray, so they go well with blue gel polish.
French in blue tones can be done in several ways, for example:
- For the base, use a beige color or a nude base, and cover the tip of the nail with blue gel polish;
- for the main part of the nail plate take white, and for the tip – blue;
- Cover the main part with blue gel polish, and paint the free edge with white or any of the shades of blue.
The rub can be rubbed on any 1 to 3 nails, most often the nails of the ring and middle fingers are chosen.
Red
A red jacket made with a beige base and red gel polish will be beautifully complemented by a silver or burgundy mirror polish. It is rubbed onto several nails with a thick coating. Some nails can be completely covered with red gel polish, using the same shade as for drawing the free edge.
Pink
Pink jacket is a romantic and feminine design. Pearl, mother-of-pearl, and pink mirror rubbing can enhance the effect of tenderness.
If the pink jacket is complemented with a silver mirror rub, the design will not be so delicate, but will successfully complement any everyday look.
Black
The black French jacket combines interestingly with metallic rubbing. You can complement the design with silver foil, shiny silver ribbons, and black or gray rhinestones.
An unusual chrome finish can be achieved by covering the mirror polish with a matte top coat. As a “support”, some black nails can also be made matte.
Orange
An equally bright “prism” rub goes well with a bright orange jacket. It will reflect the orange color and complement it with its multi-color shimmer. In order not to overload the design and not turn it from bright to vulgar, it is enough to use the powder on 1 - 2 nails, make a French coat on 2, and a plain orange coating on 1 - 2.
With rhinestones
The rub goes well with shiny decor, including rhinestones. A French jacket with rhinestones looks festive, and rubbing only enhances this effect.
To avoid excessive shine, you should not use too large stones or a large number of them in a design with rubbing. Other shiny decor may be superfluous: foil, glitter, broths. Moderation is the main principle that should be followed when selecting decorative elements.
Advice!
Try to choose rhinestones and rhinestones of the same range. Metallized powder will be successfully complemented by silver rhinestones or gray steel stones, and pink crystals will go well with a pearl effect coating.
With an image
A manicure with rubbing can be complemented with designs made in the same range. Make a French manicure on 3 nails, cover one with rub and decorate one with a design. To make the design even more impressive, do not make the second hand a mirror image of the first, but change the sequence. You can even cover all the nails on the other hand with rubbing or just apply a French polish on them.

The themes of the drawings can be varied. You can combine marine designs with delicate pearl tints; images of shells, pearls, and starfish are especially appropriate.
Drawings of floral themes are no less successfully combined with delicate mother-of-pearl rubbing: flowers, twigs, leaves, buds. It is better to paint them with white gel paint.
In addition to the mirror rubbing, you can create a design in the geometry style with silver gel paint or spider gel. You can draw a geometric design in black and fill some areas of the pattern with silver glitter.
Glitter
Glitter powder and glitters can be used together in a design. To make your nail art harmonious, use shiny materials in matching colors or the same tone. You can use the rub to cover the tip of the nail, and use glitter to make chaotic strokes on top. You can completely cover one nail with shimmering powder, and make a French nail polish on the remaining nails and draw shiny patterns with glitter.
Mirror
With a mirror rub, the French jacket looks unpretentious and casual. It is not necessary to use a white and pink color scheme for the jacket; you can make it colorful and make the smile line curly. Just remember that bright and unusual solutions attract increased attention from others, and therefore the manicure should be done as carefully as possible.
Nude
French in nude tones is a practical, win-win solution. This design will suit any outfit and occasion. A beautiful nail design will be achieved if you cover them with pearlescent powder with a light, unobtrusive shimmer. The manicure will remain laconic and unpretentious, but it can also be considered as an evening option.
Advice!
As a variation of the French manicure, a lunar manicure in nude tones with rubbing looks beautiful. The holes can be painted with silver gel paint or glitter.
Pearl
A French jacket with pearl rub on medium-length nails looks very feminine. Neat oval nails or a soft square shape will work best for this design. A delicate design will be achieved if you add white bouillons, mother-of-pearl beads, and monograms painted with white gel paint.
Gradient
Gradient design with rubbing on nails arouses increased interest among others. This is not surprising, because the shimmering powder is truly mesmerizing, and the transitions from one shade of gel polish to another enhance the unusualness of the design.
For a gradient design, pearlescent powder is suitable, not tightly covering the main color, but creating a light shining veil on top. All other shades of powder will create a dense coverage and the gradient will not be visible.
Advice!
Additional decor should not be used in the design. He looks beautiful without it.
Delightful gold
Gold color is the color of luxury and prosperity. Gold rub allows you to create a beautiful manicure on your nails, making your fingers well-groomed. There are brighter and muted shades of gold tones, so you can find exactly the shade you want.
Pink icing
A very feminine and light manicure option is a pink mirror rub. It may have a more saturated fuchsia tone, or it may be more delicate pearlescent. If with the first option you can create beautiful evening looks, then with the second they are more feminine and airy.
French on different nail shapes
The versatility of the French manicure is also evident in the fact that it can be done on any nail shape. Length is also not a limitation. The optimal length of the free edge is 2 - 3 mm, but you can make a beautiful French manicure on both long and short nails with rubbing.
For almond nails
Almonds are the most popular form in 2021. Lovers of long nails appreciated it for its practicality and neat appearance. Almond is created only on long nails. If your length is not enough, you can extend your nails with gel.
The almond jacket looks very feminine and sophisticated. To draw a smile line, you need to use a thin brush and gel paint to make the lines smooth and soft. The slightly pointed, smoothly rounded free edge of the almond-shaped nail implies the drawing of a classic semicircular smile line. It’s beautiful when it duplicates the outline of the free edge.
The V-shaped “smile” looks interesting, but not so natural. To draw this shape of the free edge on almond-shaped nails accurately, you need to have a “full hand” or use stencils.
For oval nails
French looks organic and natural on oval nails. Made in a classic color combination, a French manicure will have the most natural, natural effect. This manicure will suit even the strictest dress code and will be a good choice for those who are tired of complex designs and colors.

Short nails limit the master’s capabilities when creating designs and using decor, and rubbing is one of the few materials that has no restrictions on the length of the nails.

On a note!
A shiny coating visually makes the nails wider and longer. But for short nails it is recommended to choose light shades of decor. The ideal option is pearl, mother-of-pearl, holographic rubbing.
Fatal red

Therefore, if you have short nails, then feel free to choose exactly this color of the rub and your manicure will be perfect.
