Awesome! Thanks for sharing this! I’m new to nail art and I’m always looking for new simple designs.

I really like a french manicure! Especially a funky one, but anything really. Yes, it looks unnatural, but then again so does blue nails. It may have started as an idea to mimic a perfect nail, but I think it has been removed quite far from that.
It looks fresh and tidy, and I love them!

Don’t get me started on the french pedis though. Gross gross gross. Why would you EVER want your toenails look like they need cutting THAT bad?

I love the American manicure…it looks so natural…not like you’re trying so hard…I also did it once with a shimmery white pearly color for the tips and it came out nice!!! the 4th of July ones were cute!!!

I really didn’t know there was an American manicure, I love the look of French manicure, it looks so groomed and polished. Viva la difference!

I am a liscened Nail Tech in Hampton Va for thirty years now.I have grown with the industry. When the french manicure hit my area,my clients did not like it.That was early 80′s. They were all about color. Once they saw me wearing the french manicue,they slowly started to convert.Now here we are 2010,and they still are wearing it.As a nail tech,I am very glad “American Manicure” has given us some variety of that classic,natural look. My clients are asking for American Manicure by name.We will be offering these products on our retail shelves in our beautiful waterfront salon. Van Gar,the salon at 757-728-2753.I reccomend these product to the professional techs to use at their table. It will give great professional results and is a great retail item.

American Manicures are icky…rip off French Manicures with discoloured tips. Horrible.

I actually prefer American Manicure, the company, for the tips. They have the very best “sheer” white… and even an ivory tip. I do my nails the same as you for an AM, I use a sheer light pink to hide those white spots under the nail rather than a tinted clear.

Love the photos.

Would you have any other suggestion for an OPI nail polish that is close to the Swedish Nude color? I’ve seen that the color has been discotinued/retired.

I have some serious nail envy! M_Grace has the most fantastic nails! I would kill for nails like that. No matter what I do my nails are always in horrible shape. The flake off in layers if I grow them long like that. Seriously I am so jealous!! Do you think that M_Grace would share her tips or is she just blessed with manicure talant and the best nails EVER?!
