The 'boom' of

manicures this 2022

is indisputable.

It is demonstrated by the thousand and one versions of French manicures and with various prints, such as gradients and waves.

And also the rise of nail centers, which proliferate in cities, where, by the way, the famous ones go so as not to skip

the latest trend.

The 'nailfie'

is gaining positions over the 'selfie' on Instagram, and proof that manicures are

the new object of desire

is that, precisely on networks, star manicurists are beginning to be the new

rock stars.

An example of this is

Tom Bachik,

a true 'celebrity' on Instagram with half a million followers, guilty of the most striking nails of

Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez

or

Heidi Klum.

In Spain we also have leading nail professionals, such as the experts at

Siberia Salón,

the meeting point for famous hands in Madrid, the queens of Russian manicure, or

Lucero Hurtado,

who works for OPI and has been, for years and years, the favorite of Penélope Cruz (and today also of Tamara Falcó).

Where does the French manicure come from?

Although they come in a thousand and one colors, French-style nails, a favorite of celebrities, have an almost opposite birth, that of being a joker due to their neutral appearance, because originally it is a pink or natural base accompanied by a pointed tip. white.

Precisely with 'celebrities' of the cinema it has to do with its origin.

It is said that the French manicure had its beginnings in the 70s,

in Hollywood,

when color cinema became popular and actresses had to

constantly change

the tone of their nail polish to match

each outfit.

Lo and behold

, Jeff Pink,

creator of the

Orly nail polish brand,

came up with a manicure that would match the entire artist's wardrobe.

This is how this technique was born that uses a natural or pink base tone and highlights the free edge of white.

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

Well, because the success of Pink was so famous that that same year (1975)

the parades in Paris

adopted this enamel as an infallible wild card.
