Reverse French Manicure

We all know that French manicure is one of the most popular manicure styles of our days and we all know that it has been around for a long time now. It is only natural that over the years some other variations appeared and there are some styles that look alike, but they are somewhat different. One of such styles is the reverse French manicure. The main characteristic is the same: to use two different colors for the same manicure.





The reverse French manicure is a very good way to spice your manicure up and it is in the same time very elegant. I think you know that the traditional French manicure consists of white tips and pink nail beds. Contrary to this, the classic reverse French manicure the things are the other way around: the nail bed is polished white while the tips have another color. This color could be any color that you would like. Most of the times women use some dramatic colors than the usual ones for French manicure. For some reason blues and reds are very popular for this style.

There is another type of reverse French manicure that you could be thinking of that makes things even more dramatic. In this case, the moon is polished white and the rest of the nail is polished with a vivid color like black, red or blue. Usually the pastel colors aren’t used that much in this case. You should also know that the moon is that bright colored thing at the base of the nails that helps the nail grow.

The last type of reverse French manicure that I can think of is the one that looks somewhat the same as the one presented previously, but the difference is that not only the moons are painted white, but the tips also. The rest of the nail bed can be polished with any color that you would like. This style looks just like a colorful stripe has been drawn in the middle of the nail. This style is very popular both on the runways and in real life as well.

The colors that are used for the reverse French manicure are more vivid than you might imagine based on your knowledge about classic French manicure. The most popular color is black but there are a lot of women who prefer brown instead. You might have heard that there is a new rule in the world of fashion according to which the brown is the ‘new black’. Actually you could create this style using any color that you would like and you would still get it right. This might be a great opportunity to express your creativity and to let your personality show up in your manicure.

I hope that you will try this style because it is just as easy to create as the classic one but some people say that it offers more than the traditional one due to the colors that the manicure might have.
