Popular French Manicure Designs
French manicures are a fashionable trend among women in the USA today. And for excellent reason – the French manicure is very universal, and is just as correct 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 States is accustomed to this manicure and provides them to clients on a day-to-day basis. But often times women like to add a bit of glamour to the French manicure, and this is easily accomplished by incorporating designs to their nails.
French manicure designs are typically done in nail salons. This is because salons carry all the equipment (and talent) to create some amazing designs. A favorite manner 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. As an example, as opposed to airbrushing a classic white line on the tips, you can use a stencil to create upward points (resembling triangles). This gives you the classic look of a French manicure while providing a particular and different touch. If you prefer to include color to your French manicure, you might 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 commonly used for French manicures are flowers, palm trees, or letter initials.
Other designs loved 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 conclude your desired look. The manicurist applies them using small tweezers and a little 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 out of the ordinary glamour.
Another popular design used with the French manicure is known as “nail tattoos.” These are transfers rubbed onto your nail directly from printed paper. They are very much in-line with the applying of faux tattoos, and are then covered with a top coat to help look after longevity. These become a wide assortment of designs, and the salon should be able to provide you with a choice of available nail tattoos.
Finally, for those seeking an increasingly extreme approach to nail designs, a favorite trend called nail piercing is now available at a number of nail salons. Nail piercing is usually done on acrylic nails in preference to actual nails. This is because once an actual fingernail is pierced, it is nearly out of the question to repair the nail later without needing to cut it down. Using a small ear piercing gun, the manicurist pierces the nail with a tiny earring. These are ordinarily studs or small gems. This process outlays about $10 extra to your manicure.
