French Nails FAQs
French nails is the name given to a type of manicure that uses a natural-coloured nail polish to paint the nail, and finishes the look by applying a thin band of white polish at the tip. The result is clean and classic. However, if you want to up the vibrancy you can swap the conventional white tip for a contemporary, bold colour contrast. French manicures can be achieved using traditional nail polish, shellac, gel, or acrylic.
On average, French nails cost £12 in Barnet, but you can pay anything from £5 to £55.
How long your French nails last will depend on the type of polish used: traditional nail polish will last for around one week; shellac and gel nails will last between 2-3 weeks; and acrylic nails will last 6-8 weeks, but will need filling every 2-3 weeks to cover nail regrowth.
French nails take around 30 minutes longer than a traditional manicure, but ask your nail technician to give you an accurate estimate as it will vary according to the type of polish used.
It’s down to personal preference and how long you want your manicure to last. Shellac creates a more natural finish than gels, which are glossier. Both last for 2-3 weeks. If you want to experiment with nail shape, go for acrylic nails; acrylics last 6-8 weeks, but will need to be filled every 2-3 weeks to hide regrowth.
The difference between French and American manicures is very subtle: French manicures tend to use a bright white colour at the nail tip, while American manicures use a softer, off-white colour. Both give a clean, classic finish.
