You may be tired of the traditional French manicure. Do you find it boring and too ordinary? You don’t have to worry. Today I will introduce you a brand-new nail art trend: metallic French manicure. It will make your nails shine with a different brilliance.
1. Breakthrough in traditional French manicure
The classic French manicure with its elegant and simple white tip and nude nail base has always been considered a classic in the world of nail art. With the constant change in fashion trends, people are beginning to feel that the traditional French manicure is lacking in personality and fashion sense. The metallic French manicure was born, offering a new option for those who are looking for a unique style.
2. The unique charm of French metallic manicure
The metallic French manicure keeps the traditional French manicure’s core elements – exquisite tip, neutral base – but adds an unique layer of metal luster. This luster gives nails a luxurious, fashionable look. It makes them more unique and individual. Manicurist Sofia explains, “A metallic French mani is a versatile and stylish manicure that can be worn on a daily basis, but also for special occasions.”
The metallic French manicure differs in its details from the natural nail coloring that was popular in the last year. It mimics a sophisticated French look, rather than just adding a subtle hint. Manicurists often choose more transparent and cream-colored tips to give a metallic French manicure a more modern and softer effect. Manicurists suggest using a base color of “translucent, cream-toned or pink-toned polish to create a healthy glow and “your nails but better”.
3. How to create a metallic French nail at home.
It is nice to visit a nail salon to get a manicure but the metallic French manicure can be done at home. It’s an easy way to make your nail look stylish and well-groomed using only a few products. She suggests using a nail polish product to achieve great outcomes. Essie’s Metallics Nail Polish Penny Talk ($10), for example, brightens and restores your nail’s original color after one coat.
If you have the time, your manicurist may also suggest some prep work in order to achieve the perfect manicure. To ensure that the color is evenly applied, you must first make sure your nails are clean, shaped and properly buffed. Apply two thin coats with the nail polish of your choice. We recommend Zoya’s Naked Manicure Perfector ($12) and Londontown’s Sheer Strength Nailed Blush ($20). Use a fine-lined brush to apply the creamy tip. Manucurist’s Milky White Nail Polish, $19 is the perfect creamy color. The metallic French manicure is complete when you create French tip details by following the natural shape and size of your nail tip. Apply a topcoat for extra durability and you’re done.
4. Durability of French manicures in metallic finish
The metallic French manicure has many advantages, including its versatility. The manicurist says that this is the ultimate low-maintenance nail style. The new growth will be barely noticeable if you choose a natural nail color or base color. Add a top coat that is long-lasting, such as Essie’s Stay Longer Top Coat for $11, to reduce the likelihood of the French tips peeling. This will allow the manicure to last longer.
Metallic French manicure is a great solution for those who want to achieve a classic French manicure but also pursue their own style and personality. It not only makes nails look more shiny, but it also meets modern demands for a low-maintenance manicure that is high in value.
