  • French Tips: A Timeless Classic

    French Tips: A Timeless Classic

    What are French Tips and why are they so popular? The style of the French Tip dates back to the 1930s and gained their iconic name in Hollywood in the 1970s by Jeff Pink, the creator of the French Manicure. The French Manicure was created to help screen actors speed up the process of wardrobe changes. The French Tip is a simple yet elegant style of nail, suitable for everyday wear and special occasions, making it a very practical yet fashionable choice!

    A French Tip is traditionally a nude nail with a white tip. Today, the French Manicure has been modernised with the addition of colour and glitter! Due to its popularity, this is an essential treatment in any spa or salon. Nail technicians will be able to charge between ยฃ25-ยฃ50 for this treatment. These nails are durable, long-lasting and practical, and remain incredibly stylish today!
