This is why the French polish has timeless appeal.
The term “French manicure” harks back to 1975, when Jeff Pink, founder of Orly, created the look so that actors on movie sets had perfectly manicured neutral nails that could match each costume, thus saving time. Apart from that, there are so many things to adore about this cult classic. For one, the sheer nude base of a French manicure makes the growing-out phase much more forgiving.
I’m a fan of starting with a professionally applied builder gel in a sheer pink shade for fair skin, or a deeper nude for darker skin, and finishing with a crisp white tip that can last up to a month. To vary this classic look, change the tip colour – spring favourites include black, Tiffany blue, gold and lavender. See the mavens atThere are loads of Instagram versions inspired by this look. For instance, take the white edges to extremes with long square nails and a very deep white tip.
After applying one layer of base coat and letting it dry for a couple of minutes, it’s colour time. Place your hand on a table and, taking care not to use too much polish, paint it on from base to tip using steady, even strokes. Let it dry for two minutes, then reapply. Finally, clean up any slips using nail polish remover and the orange stick. Finish with a top coat and reapply every two days.
