French Manicures Have Style

Posted: March 24th, 2017

At New York, Fashion Week 2017, nail polish colors for spring were bold and demanded attention. Gold and silver metallic are the new classic, while rouge reds, bold pinks, and every color of the rainbow are applied according to personality and desired statements. French tips have been seen orange, blue and yellow, which is a far cry from the usual traditional white tip. While relaxing at your local day spa, choosing a massage first is a great start for a spa treatment, but what about your nails? Here are the 5 most common types of French manicures  1. Pink base with white tips. Women love this choice of manicure because it adds a feminine feel to the conservative look. 2. Beige base with white tips. The beige base blends into natural skin color, allowing the white tip to make a definitive statement. 3. The understated stripe manicure adds a second color directly under the tip. 4. The Obit Mani allows the use of your favorite nail polish colors for spring by applying a unique color on the top and bottom rim of the nail. 5. Decals, glitter, and rhinestones are popular because those add personality to a French tip.   Gel manicure is a popular choice at nail salons and day spas. The gel polish process requires UV light and gel manicure is long lasting. Shellac manicures are the new trend. Shellac manicure is a combination of gel polish and nail polish and is applied with the use of UV light. People who are surveyed are going without a touch up at their favorite day spa for four to five weeks, which makes a Shellac manicure a new fave among women. That's a long time without a much-needed massage and spa treatment!
