Never before have people paid so much attention to the hands of others as now, both to appreciate designs and to get ideas and inspiration for when it is their turn to go to the beauty center. Manicure has become a basic for nail care and always showing off perfect hands. It is a way to keep them healthy, beautiful and, in addition, enjoy them as if they were just another accessory. Since you can play as much as you want with its design.
Long, short, almond or square shaped, with a matte or glossy finish, in a single color or with patterns and even jewel applications. Currently, nail design has become a craft for those who want to stand out on special occasions, or even in their daily lives. Although many manicure fans still prefer slightly more subtle nails for everyday use. In this regard, the variety of options remains considerable. Some of the most popular are the French, American and Italian manicures. That, although they have similarities, they are not the same.
There is no doubt that the most famous of the three is the French manicure, a timeless classic and symbol of elegance with its light colors that can easily be combined with any garment and occasion. This technique consists of applying a layer of colored paint, traditionally white, to the tips of the nails. And it will then be coated along with the rest of the surface with a colorless enamel or a slightly pinkish tone. The shape is usually rounded or almond-shaped.
On the other hand, the American manicure has certain differences. The main difference has to do with the base, since in this nail style a well-marked nude base is applied, which can range between pink or beige. Without forgetting the white finish on the tip, although it is common to use other colors for this final touch. And, another distinction, this detail usually lengthens following the sides of the nail to create a more defined rounded effect. For the shape, the preferred one is square.
On the other hand, there is the Italian manicure, somewhere between the French and the American manicure, but with a detail that differentiates it. To do it, a nude base is applied, but with the particularity that the sides are left unpainted, very carefully, so that it is imperceptible but the desired visual effect is achieved: a longer and more stylized nail. The shape is rounded or almond-shaped and the white tip is often accentuated with a very fine line running down the nail.
