About Not Your Basic French Mani
Getting that crisp French tip isn't just about painting the line; it’s all in the prep work underneath. Before I apply any color, I use my Russian manicure technique to clear away those cuticles with an e-file. This ensures the line sits perfectly flush with your nail bed, which is exactly why your tips stay sharp and clean even as your nails start to grow out.
The classic French tip is a mood. It’s the ultimate 'clean girl aesthetic' staple, but honestly, why stop at basic white? At my home studio in Lower Parel, I love mixing it up.
Whether you want vibrant red tips, futuristic chrome finishes, or those delicate micro-lines that elevate a simple nude base, we can make it happen. I am a perfectionist about this. I re-buff every nail after the color application and before the final top coat to ensure the surface is smooth and free of any bulk. This is the difference between a set that looks like a sticker and one that looks like it grew from your nail.
Since I use only 100% TPO-free products, you don't have to worry about skin sensitivity or reactions. We treat your appointment like a nail date—we chat, we laugh, and we get those lines looking precise. If you have an inspo pic with a twist, bring it. I love recreating trending styles like the double French or the gradient 'baby boomer' fade.
