Information about OPI French manicure

I am sure you know that French manicure is one of the most popular manicure styles of our days. According to manicurists this is the most asked for style in nail salons and although it is still very popular you should know that the French manicure isn’t something new.





It was used for the first time by French royalty during the 18th century and this is how it got its name. Women like the style because it is quite simple and it looks very clean. There are many ways to get it in our days, like going to a nail salon, using nail polish or dry nail polish. Still the majority of women choose to use nail polish.

I am sure you have heard about the company called OPI before since it is one of the most well known companies producing manicure products. Most of the items that they produce are nail polish, but they also produce gel manicure and in the past the company was known to be producing lipstick as well. Since it produces nail polish I think it would be unconceivable if the company wouldn’t produce polishes for French manicure as well.

You should know that it was more than ten years ago that the company introduced the Custom Dual-Tone Collection. This collection included nail polishes that were called Two Tones. The line has been created for those women who are bored with the traditional look of the French manicure but they don’t want to go to extremes and they want to look professional and polished.

Still you should know that in our days not every shade is available anymore, not even on eBay but if you take a look at the colors you might get some very good ideas for color combinations. Naturally there were two colors, one for the tips and another one for the nail bed and I will give you the names of the shades so you could look for them: Samoan Sand and Swedish Nude, Coney Island Cotton Candy and Alpine Snow, Hawaiian orchid and Alpine Snow, Tahitian Twilight and Swedish Nude, Parisian Pink and Alpine Snow, and Loyalty Islands and Oyster Blue Lagoon.

Although these colors might offer you a new look of the OPI French manicure you might still get bored of the same style and in this case it might be a very good idea to try some nail art to spice the manicure up with some other colors as well.


There are many options you could try and even if you don’t want any nail art you could also do something out of the ordinary by creating a more interesting border line between the two colors of the OPI French manicure. Most women use a straight line, but you could also create zigzags as well or any other pattern that you would like.

I hope that you will be successful in creating your perfect French manicure with the help of the OPI products that you can find now.
