The modern French technique is not just a classic pedicure. These are refined, bewitching with their understated beauty, elegant designs fit for a queen.

What is a French pedicure with a European treatment?

Classic French or, as it is also called, French pedicure, is positioned as the most natural, close to natural design. The main background of the nail plates is made with transparent, light pink or light beige varnishes. And the free edge is isolated in pure white or milky color. The design looks natural and elegant.

It combines perfectly with any type of footwear, clothing, colors and styles. This is exactly the original intention of the creator of this unusual technique - American Jeff Pink.

Half a century of development, creative searches and the introduction of new ideas have given the world many unusual and charming modifications of the pedicure. Today, fashionistas are in the service of the moon and Hollywood, millennium pedicure and twist, as well as many author's nail designs for all occasions.

 

However, the classic French pedicure is not limited to decorative coverings. The secret of incomparable and graceful legs lies in a special technique for processing feet and nail plates - European. What does it mean:

• Instead of cutting tools or a router, gentler techniques are used. Dead cells from the epidermis are removed with the help of special tools - removers.
• The cuticle is not cut, but gently moved with a wooden stick from an orange tree.

 

At the end of the treatment, the skin and cuticles are lubricated with moisturizing creams and oils, and a light massage is performed. If the nail master uses combined processing methods, scissors or cutters, steaming the legs, then such a pedicure is not classic.

Advantages of technology

• There is no risk of injury during processing, infection with various diseases.
• Orange wood is very soft and is an excellent antiseptic.
• The procedure is completely painless and even pleasant.
• The feet take on a well-groomed, magnificent appearance, with fair skin of a healthy color, without calluses or cracks .
• Reduces the likelihood of fungal diseases, including nail plates.
• The price of a classic French pedicure is low, and the effect is magnificent, it lasts a month.
• French is ideal for nails of any shape and size, and additional elements give it the right mood.
• It can be done on natural, extended and biogel-reinforced nails.
• The growing classic pedicure does not lose its attractive appearance, since the border is almost invisible.

 

Disadvantages

• If the feet are neglected, the delicate remover may not cope with the cleaning task. In this case, the use of other pedicure techniques is required.
• Having decided to do exactly the classic pedicure, you cannot alternate it with a hardware or an edged pedicure, since all the positive effect will be destroyed.
• A high-quality pedicure can only be done by an experienced master, since pedicure is very sensitive to failures and mistakes.

 

Are there any contraindications for European-style French?

There are situations in which this procedure is not recommended:

• lesions of the skin of the feet and nail plates, inflammatory processes;
• fungus, rash;
• infectious diseases with high fever;
• problems with blood vessels in the legs, hepatitis, HIV.

 

If the remover is applied for the first time, the master must conduct an allergic test. In the case of a reaction to the composition, the procedure should be abandoned in favor of other processing methods.

 

Subtleties and rules for performing a French pedicure

There are several secrets thanks to which the pedicure turns out to be perfect.

• The free edge of the nails is trimmed straight, without rounding the tips.
• You can not cut the nails at the root. As a general rule, leave the length at or slightly below fingertips.
• The width of the selected line along the edge of the nails should be 2-3 mm.
• In order for the pedicure to really “look”, the legs and shoes must be in perfect order.
• The “smile” line is drawn only on a dry base.

 

If you want to diversify the laconic simplicity of the classics, use a variety of types of jewelry, patterns and coatings.

In fashion:

• floral and abstract prints, animal prints;
• free edge, highlighted with a shiny decor: sparkles, rhinestones, foil;
• combinations of different colors, ombre and multi-colored legs;
• use the big toes as an accent;
• rubbing, magnetic varnishes, matt tops and acrylic sand.

Often a pedicure is combined with a moon pedicure, highlighting the lunula with paints or a bright decoration as we see below.
