• All the tricks to get the perfect manicure without leaving home

The French manicure

is back, long live the French manicure!

It is what seems to be shouting from the rooftops half humanity that does not resist coloring only the free edge of the nail and leaving the rest to the natural.

Since the 90s,

when this glazing technique was very popular, which is also a classic among brides, the French manicure had been missing, but

at the beginning of 2020,

with images on their Instagram accounts wearing the classic or some color version, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid or Hailey Bieber rescued her from oblivion.

What could have been a timid revival, a thing of four 'enlightened' celebrities, has become a

real bombshell

that only grows.

Whether your nails are long or short, French manicures are everywhere.

A little history

But where does the French manicure come from?

From Paris,

like the stork?

Well no, its name does not refer to its place of origin.

From the Nails & Co center in Madrid they say that it was born in the 70s,

in Hollywood,

when color cinema became popular and the actresses then had to constantly change the tone of their enamel to match each of their clothes.

Here then,

Jeff Pink,

creator of the nail polish brand

Orly,

came up with a manicure that would match the complete wardrobe of the artists.

Thus was born this technique that uses a natural or pink base tone and emphasizes the free edge of white.

And why is she called French if she was born in the mecca of cinema?

Well, because Pink's success was so notorious that that same year (1975)

the Paris shows

adopted this enamel as an infallible wild card.

Although the classic French manicure is still very topical, both in long and short nails, square or oval, to go to the last nothing like choosing a

color that is not white or natural.

"The colored tips, to give that differential touch, will be the undisputed queens of French manicures", according to

Maryorie Matallana

from The Nail Corner by OPI, the brand's ambassador salon in Madrid.

And

what colors to choose

to get it right?

The nets right now 'burn' with blue, green or yellow, the tones that coincide with what they wear to make up the nails in full as well.

Black

is still a valid alternative that leaves a bit dark but also interesting, it is worth trying.

The

fluorescent tones

are also an option to consider;

Squaring the trend circle comes when each free edge is made up

with a different color,

An idea that we love - if you have patience or a bit of skill and a fine brush you can even do it at home., Is the one proposed by

Betina R. Goldstein,

an expert in designs, whose Instagram account is worth visiting (" betina_goldstein): color the edges

with fine lines that are

close together, it can also be done with little dots close together.
