The Modern French Manicure

The secret to a French manicure that actually lasts is all in the prep. Before any polish touches your nails, I perform a dry Russian manicure. This method cleans up your cuticles and creates a perfectly smooth surface, ensuring your tips stay crisp and chip-free for two to three weeks.

The classic French manicure has stood the test of time for a reason, but that does not mean it has to be boring. At Bloom Nails, I love playing with the traditional look to make it feel modern and personal.

Why it works

Whether you have short natural nails or long almond-shaped extensions, a French manicure creates an effortless, polished aesthetic. My process starts with a dry Russian manicure to ensure precision, followed by high-quality vegan gel application. This isn't just about how it looks on day one; it is about how it holds up over the next few weeks.

How we switch it up

If you want something different, we can move away from the traditional white tip. Here are a few ways we can customize yours:

• Glitter & Chrome: Adding a silver glitter fade or a glazed donut chrome finish over the tip adds sparkle for wedding seasons or parties.
• Colourful Tips: Swap the white for deep reds, pastels, or metallic golds to match your outfit or mood.
• Delicate Art: I can add thin, wavy glitter lines or even small geometric patterns to elevate the design without losing that clean French vibe.

Vegan & Sustainable

I am committed to using only vegan, cruelty-free products. You can enjoy your custom nail art knowing it aligns with your values, without any compromise on the shine, strength, or durability of the gel. Let us talk about what you have in mind for your next set.
