French fries,
French plait, French wine. The attribute «French» is applicable to something
elegant and hot. The language sounds too seductive, and it seems that all
French words relate to words of love. The French kiss is the core of erotic
passion of the two. Yet, the French manicure famous for its graceful plainness
is on the top of things a woman could desire.
The French
manicure is believed to be created by the ORLY Company in 1976. The Company stylists
appear to guess on the wish of women to have the manicure to match their
garment without spending their time to do it every day. This is the reason why
we appreciate the French manicure! Ladies seem it good manners if the nail polish
of dark red color goes with the cocktail black dress, while the pink polish
goes with the day-time wear. The French manicure perfectly matches casual jeans
and business-like costumes. Though, the history adds its three cents to the
history that even this manicure is believed to be French, it has something to do
with Hollywood. The Hollywood producers were greatly upset with the situation
when the actress had to rush and change the nail polish to match her attire,
and were dreaming about the universal manicure to match all the images. Thus, the
French manicure was invented.
The procedure
of the French manicure is as follows: soften the hands skin, apply special nutrient
and moisturizing cream. Treat and peel the cuticles and epidermis. Once you are
done with cleaning and trimming your nails, start with applying a base coat to them.
The base coat should be put thin and even, you'd better choose for the
therapeutic base coat with Vitamins A and E in components. This will help you
make your nails whiter and prepare them for decorative nail coating. Afterwards,
put a tip guide to your nail and apply white polish to the exposed tips of your
fingernails, and then let them dry. Keep the area that you will paint white
thin. If you go too widely on the white paint, your nails will look chunky.
Also, if you do not feel comfortable with bare white tips, you can use
off-white polish instead.
You are advised
to take the special nail polish to apply patterns to nails, either the special
bottle for the French manicure with the brush not so thin but comfortable to
draw clear and smooth plump lines along nail plate. Once decorative coat is applied,
remember to fix the polish -it makes your manicure look fresh all the time.
French manicure
differs in color and form as well. The nails are square-shaped with rounded corners.
The French
manicure is believed to look perfect on short nails, though longer ones and
even the built-up nails look good wearing it. The French manicure is made on toenails
as well, thus making it French pedicure.
One more advantage
of the French manicure is in the decorative play when it visually evens the
nails of different length.
The classic
French manicure colors is the white in combination with beige, pink and other
neutral colors of warmer or colder shades. However, such a classic trend as French
manicure could not do without the fashionable styles. Now the French manicure is
made in white and black, black and red, and silver-golden gamut. If you want to
hold on the classic French manicure but at the same time you want to add
something special to underline your individuality, you may have it as the
classic manicure in white and beige colors but with some strasses or a thin
silver line between the shear and white part. There is another option «French Millennium»
when the tip of the nail is coated with bright pink color not white. Such manicure
is suitable for young girls enjoying their time at beaches or parties. Nevertheless,
the traditional old style of French manicure with the white tip of the nail and
beige coat is always in vogue and will never go out of style. It gives exceptional
neat look to you in every situation.
