The principle of the French manicure

It is a technique from the United States which consists of applying a line of white opaque varnish to the edge of the nail. The nail is then covered in its entirety with another neutral colored varnish. The idea is to obtain a natural and sophisticated rendering at the same time.

For what shapes and for what lengths of nails?

The French manicure will be prettier on mid-length nails that do not exceed the edges of your fingers by more than 2 mm. When it comes to the shape of the nails, there are several choices available to you. You can opt for the almond shape, feminine and elegant, or for the square-rounded shape, a little more sophisticated.
