The French Manicure

If you are looking for a traditional and very clean looking treatment for your nails then getting a french manicure is very much recommended. The most classic type of french manicure treatment has a flesh or clear colored tone to the body of the nail that is crowned with a bright white tip. There is probably no other look when it comes to nails that says, “well groomed” like a french manicure. Employers generally prefer tasteful French manicures to other types of nail treatments so keep that in mind the next time you go for a job interview.

The french manicure looks great on any length of nail but it looks especially nice on short nails. Unlike bright red polish this type of manicure lengthens rather than shortens the look of the fingers. However it is possible to paint the white tips on the nails in a way that makes your nail look chunkier than it actually is.

French manicures are probably best left to professionals and all you have to do to get one is book a nail treatment in a hair salon or beauty salon. Almost every salon professional on earth is familiar with this way of doing your nails. The procedure is very simple. Your nails are filed and shaped and then the tips are painted white using nail guides. These guides are like sticker placed on the beds of your nails. The stickers are then removed and pink or flesh colored nail polish is then applied. Usually a topcoat of varnish is also applied to protect the nails. A really good french manicure should last you at least a couple of weeks depending on how rough you are with your hands. If you type a lot for instance you risk damaging the nails more.
