Pink & White Airbrush Design
Here is the video tutorial of my Pink & White Lace Nail Design. Please click on the follow button to keep up to date with all my post.
Hi, this is the nail art design I have on my own nails at the moment. It looks stunning in the daylight. First use your favourite base coat. The I used OPI polish Italian Love Affair, 2 coats. Let it completely dry and then cover your nail with some lace and airbrush white paint over it. Next apply some airbrush varnish and then your favourite top coat.
I will post the youtube video tutorial I did for this design next.
French Manicures
French manicures are very clean, elegant style to have on your nails. French manicures go with any outfit you wear as you do not have to think about clashing colours. They are easier to maintain as you can touch up the white if it chips without it being too noticeable. The French manicure usually lasts longer than the coloured polish manicure.
Some may ask why bother if you are just going to put clear nail polish on your nails, what is the point? Why bother to spend that time and effort, to look natural? Well, us women do lots of crazy things, and spend countless hours in the salon to appear naturally beautiful. So why should manicures be any different? The polish used in the French manicure is two different colours not just clear. White polish is applied to the tips of your nails and allowed to dry. Then the entire nail is painted with a soft beige or a translucent pink colour, making the nails very clean and polished looking. This is not as dramatic as red or pink polish.
Most salons charge more money for a French manicure than a normal one colour manicure. They are more difficult to apply than one solid colour but do look almost natural. There is three ways of applying the French manicure. 1. is to carefully apply the white polish keeping the smile line tidy. This is the hardest way. 2. apply the white polish to the tips not worrying about keeping a tidy smile line. Then afterwards with a brush dipped in polish remover clean up the smile line. 3. the easiest way is to apply guide stickers, then paint on the white polish. Remove the stickers and you have your perfect smile line.
French manicures became popular in the seventies, and is just as popular today. Everywhere you look you can see French manicures, in magazines, to mums shopping. The French manicure doesn't have a target age range. Anyone from teenagers, to grandmothers can be seen wearing a French manicure, you can't say that about other fashion trends.
Now there is the French pedicure as a new addition to the French manicure family. It has the same flexibility and versatility of the French manicure. Its great that you can change your shoes and outfits to different colours and not have to rethink your toenail or fingernail polish.
