FRENCH MANICURE VARIETIES
Classic. It's a laconic, naturalistic appeal. When it is applied, the nail plate is covered with a bed base (most often in beige, pink or peach colours), and the tip of the nail is painted white. The base for this manicure can be a natural nail or a manicure done with gel, gel lac, acrylics or tips. This option is perfect for medium length nails.
American. This type of Frenchy does not require drawing the smile line, i.e. the colour of the tip smoothly passes into the colour of the base. It can be applied to any nail shape, but the American French is most frequently applied to square or sharp nails. It differs from the classical version by the richness of the colour range (not only white and beige-pink).
Fan french. A popular type of manicure, which decorates the tip of the nail plate, but not the body. In fact, it is a reverse French manicure, when the bed is painted in a dark shade, and the edges are light.
Stained french. When it is created, the tip of the nail is enhanced with acrylic or coloured gel. A stained nail is often decorated with sequins or acrylics.
French millenium. The tip of the nail is decorated with a sparkling dusting and glitter. A smooth transition from the sparkling tip to the rest of the nail plate is also possible.
The art franch. A designer interpretation with foil, lace or stickers along the free edge. A distinctive feature of this type of French manicure is the presence of a bright pattern and shiny embellishments. Often the design is only on the ring finger.
Openwork french. In this case, the nail plates are covered with fine patterns resembling lace.
A coloured french style. In this manicure, instead of white, any other colored gel polish is used.
