1. WHAT ARE FRENCH NAILS?
A French tip manicure polishes nails in two colors, one for the bed of the nail and another for the tip. Traditionally, French tip manicures create a polished and professional look that replicates the natural nail in pink and white, but modern variations may use other colors.
2. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FRENCH AND AMERICAN NAILS?
The basic difference between a French Manicure and an American one is to do with the colour and in some salons the shape of the finished nails might be also slightly different. A classic French Manicure uses a pinky tone clear base all over the nail and then a dense white tip is painted across the ends.
3. WHY ARE THEY CALLED FRENCH NAILS?
When he came back to Los Angeles, he started calling it the “French manicure,” in honor of his friends in Paris and the runway models who donned his new look. After the people saw the chic nail look on Cher and Barbra Streisand, they started talking about it.
4. HOW LONG DOES A FRENCH MANICURE LAST?
If you get a regular French manicure it should last 7–10 days depending on how much use you have on your nails. A gel French manicure should last 14 days or longer.
5. WHAT NAIL SHAPE IS MOST FLATTERING?
If you have medium or long nails, oval, almond, and coffin shapes will suit you best. Use elongating nail shapes, such as almond, coffin, and oval, to lengthen and slenderize short and wide fingers. Ladies with fingers that are naturally long and slim should choose a square nail shape for a flattering effect.
