There is nothing natural about nail polish. The whole point of nail polish is to disguise your real nails. The French manicure creates what most women think is a clean and natural look. It is made to emulate the look of a real nail, but the irony is that in almost every form and technique, it looks the exact opposite. Emphasizing where the tips of the nails are isn’t natural and doesn’t even look clean as much as it looks contrived.
In reality, a French manicure is actually bare nails that are buffed so precisely that they shine naturally. Using moisturizing oil and a buffer, the nail achieves a smooth, clean, and natural finish. There is some debate, but generally the origins of the French manicure, as we know it, can be traced back to 1975 by an American who used the word French to make it sound fashionable and sexy. It was intended to be the solution for a nail look that could go along with anything and for any occasion. While it is still the most requested service at a nail salon, it is hardly fashion-forward.
There is a reason why you never see actresses or models (who are the templates for updated trends) flashing French manicures. Flip through any style or beauty magazine and what you won’t see is a French manicure gracing the pages. It is far more chic and sophisticated to keep the polish simple, whether with a light color, a trend color, or classic blue-red that looks good on anyone. In any form, the French manicure sticks out like a sore thumb instead of completing a look with a natural versatility. Regardless of their popularity in the mainstream public, they are never actually in style.
The most natural and clean way to paint your nails is simply with a light color polish. Essie makes a huge range of light-colored nail polishes that are subtle yet stylish in a classy way. Besides that, polish is supposed to be fun! If your nails are going to stand out, make them colorful and vibrant, not dull and dreary.
Three of the best lines for color, quality, and price are:
