Introducing the “French tip” manicure, a modern twist on the timeless classic.

The Origins of the French Manicure

The French manicure has a rich history that dates back to the 1970s. It was first introduced by a nail technician named Fred Slack Jr.

Nail crowns are a popular choice for those who want to add a touch of glamour to their nail look without going overboard.

The Origins of Nail Crowns

Nail crowns have been a staple in the world of nail art for decades. The concept of placing gemstones or other decorative elements on the tip of the nail dates back to ancient civilizations. In ancient Egypt, for example, nail decorations were used to signify social status and wealth. The Egyptians believed that the nails were a symbol of beauty and elegance, and they would often adorn them with gold, silver, and precious gems. The use of nail crowns as we know it today, however, is a relatively modern phenomenon. It gained popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s, particularly among the hip-hop and R&B communities. The nail crowns were often made with acrylic or gel extensions, which were then decorated with rhinestones, diamonds, and other precious stones.*

The Art of Nail Crowns

Creating a nail crown requires a combination of artistic skill and technical expertise. The process involves applying a layer of gel or acrylic to the nail tip, followed by the placement of the gemstones or other decorative elements. The artist must carefully select the type and placement of the gemstones to achieve the desired look. The key to creating a successful nail crown is to balance the size and placement of the gemstones with the overall shape and style of the nail.
