Pastel Tips

French manicures have long been a fixture of European salons, as they adapt effortlessly to seasonal fashion trends. A soft french manicure features a neutral base with intricate artistic accents for added balance.

Soft pastels allow artists to produce an infinite number of effects with blending. Utilizing fingers, kitchen toweling, cotton buds or even a torchon for this task, blending can soften colors while creating new hues.

Proper preparation is key to creating an elegant manicure. Sanitize nails before shaping them to suit your preferences; almond shapes emphasize elegance while square tips have modernized aesthetic. Short pastel french tips may also be suitable for daily wear.
