Self Adhesive Nail Guides French Manicure
No matter what the others say, I think that French manicure is one of the most elegant manicure styles in the world. I find it very neat ad most people say that French manicure suggest a kind of cleanness meaning that the hand of the one who has this manicure look clean and they look like they are taken care of.
Besides being one of the most popular styles (unofficial statistics show that this is the most asked for style in nail salons) it is one of the oldest ones as well, if not the oldest. It is possible you know, but I will tell you anyhow that the French manicure was first worn by French royalty in the eighteenth century and the even most surprising fact is that mostly men had his type of manicure. If you come to think of the fact that it has been around for centuries you will understand why it is so amazing that it is still trendy and fashionable.
There are some people who say that the French manicures are too simple, there is nothing interesting in them. I have to let them know that there are several variations to it, for example the reverse French manicure.
My personal opinion is that it is quite easy to make French manicures, so you don’t necessarily have to go to a nail salon or spa. I know that most women have problems with the smile line because there are very few who have the talent or confidence to do it. Those who can draw it by hand have a very easy job, because all they have to do is to apply a base coat and then to polish the tips. Once the tips are dried the other color can be applied. After finishing it is good to apply a top coat as well to protect the manicure and to give it a plus of shine.
Those who can’t draw the smile line by hand don’t have to go to professionals either because there is a great invention called self adhesive nail guides for French manicure. These are little tapes that are cut to follow the shape of the smile line. They are very easy to use. After applying the base coat you have to stick the tapes and polish the tips. Wait a short period before removing the tapes and then use the other color as well. Basically this is how it’s done.
These self adhesive nail guides for French manicure can be bought with a manicure set or individually. Most of the times you can buy between 20 and 100 tapes in a kit. These tapes aren’t expensive and they are really useful, but if you don’t want to spend more than necessary some people say that you can use average tape as well if you cut it to have the shape of the smile lines. You can now see that it is truly easy to make a French manicure and you can do it yourself.
