French manicure nail art

 

French manicure is one of the latest fads doing circles in the nail fashion circuit. It’s basically like any normal manicure, but the difference is in the end process wherein the entire nail is painted with base color and only the tips are coloured with white.

The nails are also shaped differently, with a slightly squarish look vis-a-vis the conventional rounded tips.

The entire coat is then covered with varnish and voila! Your French manicure is ready.



But gone are the days when bland manicured nails with one simple coat of paint were the fashion statement. With the onset of creative techniques and imagination, French manicure nail art is highly in vogue. Nail art is suitable for French manicured nails since these nails are extended for longevity and provide a good base for nail art. It’s like a canvas for the nail stylist wherein he or she can let the creativity take charge!

Let’s take a look at the various types of French manicure nail art :-

You can choose from a glittery to a bejeweled look or from a sculpted to a textured style: We have jewellery for almost all parts of the body-usual and unusual. Why, people don’t hesitate to pierce even their tongues today, so why not nails? Yes, small silver ringlets or similar jewellery are highly mentioned for nails. The process is as simple as drilling a hole, like in your ear or nose, and fitting the ring in it! One can choose from umpteen colours and styles to match the outfit.

Besides jewellery, gemstones or similar kind bindis are also a huge rave for nail art. Various colours and designs are used to create a kaleidoscope.

One can also experiment a lot with different types of colouring techniques and paints to go with the occasion or theme. One can adopt a funky look for a college party such as animal prints or a jungle theme. If you are on vacation to Goa, a sunset landscape with a silhouette of the coconut tree is apt to go with your holiday mood!

 

 Airbrush techniques, colour blends and shading with stick-on stones, lilacs, pinks, tropical, golden with gemstones etc. are some of the several colouring and embellishing techniques for French manicure nail art. Experts also try clear varnish or metallic shades for a glam look. For those who are not too loud, stick-on tattoos and bindis are a good option. For a wedding function, rhinestones, mini-pearls or gemstones are also quite in. Expenses depend on the type of design used and the nail artist. A manicure plus a nail art can cost anything between Indian Rs.500 to Rs.1000 in all.



So, whatever style or design you choose, just ensure that it fits your personality and the occasion. Also, if you are working, nail art should not be of inconvenience. Nowadays nail art is a fashion statement for most women…be it a trendy or funky look. It’s all to do with how you play with the colours, type of paint, the shades, texture, embellishments, patterns etc.  ~ Authored Karishma Bajaj
