French Manicure Stickers
French manicure stickers may refer to a number of things. In this article I will try to mention the most I can. First of all it might refer to those stickers that are used to create the French manicure. These help us create the perfect smile lines. Most of the times when we buy a French manicure kit, it comes with stickers (the number of them may vary between 10 and more than a hundred).
It is easy to calculate that we will run out of these in a quite short period of time. Still we don’t have to worry about this fact because the stickers can be bought separately as well in packages of ten. If you consider that you don’t want to spend on stickers, there are other methods as well to create French manicure. Some people can draw the smile lines by hand, so they don’t need any guidance. If you aren’t so talented or confident I have read about people who use simple tape and they cut it in order to have the same shape as the smile lines; this is a cheaper solution.
I have heard many women complain that after they polish the tips and they remove the stickers, the polish is ruined. The key is not to remove the sticker too soon or too late. After polishing you should wait a bit for the polish to dry, but not too much because the sticker might pull up the polish as well. If you would like to do something not-so-traditional, you could use the stickers to create a moon on the upper part of the nail, a kind of reversed French manicure.
Another meaning refers to those manicures that have a filmy consistency and they are very fast to apply. You might have seen such things produced by Avon Cosmetics and also the newest fashion regarding nails, Minx, has a similar technique. By using these stickers you avoid spending time with waiting for the polish to dry and you can also avoid dripping. The downside of these manicures is that usually they don’t last as long as traditional polish does and they are quite hard to apply with one hand (especially with left hand if you are right handed and vice versa).
The last meaning that I will write about is a way to make your French manicure even more interesting. I suppose you have already seen such stickers. They come in a package that has over 20 stickers and the most popular ones have the shape of flowers, but I have seen many other shapes as well, like hearts, money symbol, dollar symbol, treble key and so on.
They are very easy to use; you simply have to stick them on the nail and then polish the nails using a top coat or clear polish. I hope that you found my article regarding French manicure stickers useful and I also hope the I have given you some useful tips for your next manicure.
