I sometimes paint the underside white, and leave the top bare. Kind of looks like a ‘natural’ french manicure.

Love the idea of the Louboutin manicure. How about two coats of clear nail polish, then paint the top tips in red, followed with final coat of clear to seal. Am going to try!

I think everyone should try Broadway Nails French Flip Nail Kit. These nails are traditional classic French manicure on the front, and on the flip side they get creative with a splash of a bright color! These nails are brand new to hit the market and are perfect for fashionistas! They are following the trends of Christian Louboutin shoes. I absolutely love them!!

I used to keep my natural nails really long, and sometimes I would paint the underside. Either with clear/topcoat to help keep the manicure from chipping and strengthen my nail, or else with white (easiest way for me to do the French manicure myself). I'd paint the underside white, few coats, and then a pale pink topcoat. Then, you don't have to worry about making a straight line with the white, or smearing the white when you paint the pink topcoat.

Now, I am too busy (work) and I swim 3x a week, and I developed a sensitivity to nail polish and remover. These three things have conspired against me and now I never paint my nails. My manicure just doesn't last with the swimming, so it isn't worth it, and the sensitivity to polish/remover and lack of time compound the problem.

But, I'm tempted to break out the polish just to give this effect a shot. It would have to be for a long weekend or similar, since I work in a conservative, male dominated engineering environment. Unconventional fashion forward ideas tend to negatively influence people's perception, and this tends to spill over into how they view you on technical merit as well.

But I think it looks cool for a photo shoot at least!

Sorry to comment so late on an older post, but I just recently found your blog, and I just love it. This particular idea is inspiring – I wear my natural nails longer (there’s really no stopping them, they just grow super-fast), so I’m going to try this with my next manicure this weekend. Thanks for the great idea!
