Things to know about the Cuban manicure

There are some rumors according to which the Cuban manicure is coming back to fashion. It is no wonder if you have never heard about this style since it was popular quite some time ago and since then it has almost absolutely disappeared. Still in our days there are more and more people who are trying to reintroduce I because it is said that this type of manicure has a very specific personality that suggests that the women who is wearing it has power and courage. It is also said that it takes to have a good self-image to be able to wear this style.


All this is because the Cuban manicure involves screaming red nails with creamy white tips and moons. It can be said that it is a kind of reverse French manicure, but it is very easy to recognize it because of the colors. There are some women who prefer other colors, like peach, but there is one golden rule of the style: the redder the Cuban-er.

Also there are some other features that make the manicure really Cuban. According to professional manicurists, the cuticles must be cut, while in case of the French and American manicure it is enough for them to be pushed back. In the case of the Cuban manicure the client doesn’t want to see any extra skin.

It was said that the Cuban manicure is a style for old women, but lately more and more young girls are asking for it, although in the States it isn’t as popular as in Cuba. Probably this is because there are few people that know about it and the style isn’t mentioned among the services that most nail salons offer.

Professionals say that there are two main ways to get the style. One way is to paint the whole nail red first and then remove the red from the tops and the moon. Then take the white polish and polish the bare areas. Another way is to polish the nails white and then carefully polish the middle of the nails with red polish.

Some women prefer the French manicure because of the clean and neat look or the American manicure because of the natural look. These women think that the red of the Cuban manicure is a bit aggressive and they don’t want to draw all the attention to their nails. This is why I wrote at the beginning that you must have a good self-image and also self-confidence to get this style.

There are some women who were reluctant about getting Cuban manicure at the beginning but they realized that it is fun and also it seems to be a ‘happy’ manicure that stands out in the crowd. I hope that you will get the chance to try it because I am almost certain that you will like it. It is fun to try even though you may never have it again. I would really like to know your opinion about the Cuban manicure.
