Popular French Manicure Designs
French manicures are a popular trend among women in The States today. And for excellent reason – the French manicure is very universal, and is simply as appropriate for jeans and t-shirts as it is a wedding or prom dress. The classic French manicure has a light pink or nude base coat, with the tips of the fingernails painted bright white. Nearly every nail salon in the United States is aware of this manicure and provides them to customers on a day-to-day basis. But occasionally women like to include a bit of glamour to the French manicure, and this is easily accomplished by incorporating designs to their nails.
French manicure designs are normally done in nail salons. This is because salons carry all the tools (and talent) to create some amazing designs. A fashionable technique of applying a French manicure is through an airbrush machine, which gives the nails a smooth, even line when painting the tips white. Often manicurists will use the airbrush machine to create stunning designs. For instance, instead of airbrushing a classic white line on the tips, you can utilize a stencil to create upward points (resembling triangles). This gives you the classic look of a French manicure while providing a special and different touch. If you opt to add color to your French manicure, you could have the manicurist draw or airbrush a small design on your fingernail. Popular designs include symbolic holiday designs, such as Christmas trees for the winter, pumpkins for the fall, or hearts for Valentine’s Day. Other designs frequently used for French manicures are flowers, palm trees, or letter initials.
Other designs preferred among French manicures include the applying of tiny gems or stones. These add a small touch of “sparkle” to your manicure. The stones can be employed singly or with a painted design to complete your desired look. The manicurist applies them using small tweezers and a bit of nail glue, then coats them using a plain top coat. This helps to seal the stones and prevent them from chipping off. You can choose to add these to one fingernail on each hand, or apply them to all ten nails for unique glamour.
Another popular design used on the French manicure is known as “nail tattoos.” These are transfers rubbed onto your nail directly from printed paper. They’re very much in-line with the application of faux tattoos, and are then covered with a top coat to help look after longevity. These come in a wide assortment of designs, and the salon should be in a position to supply you with a selection of available nail tattoos.
Finally, for those searching for an increasingly extreme approach to nail designs, a fashionable trend called nail piercing is now available at several nail salons. Nail piercing is typically done on acrylic nails rather than actual nails. The reason for this is once a genuine fingernail is pierced, it is nearly hopeless to repair the nail later without needing to cut it down. Using a small ear piercing gun, the manicurist pierces the nail with a small earring. These are normally studs or small gems. This procedure costs about $10 extra to your manicure.
With so many options accessible to French manicure designs, women now have the ability to customize their manicure and exceed the classic look. Ask your manicurist for ideas on different nail designs.
