Francesinha

Francesinha is one of the most used nail decorations here in Brazil. It is characterized by coloring only the white part of the tip of the nail and generally using clear, white nail polish and the well-known “lace”.

But nowadays salons have innovated a lot and the technique has gained new configurations, with different colors and styles. We have selected several ideas for you to know!

You can use a gradient in the Frenchie and make it look pretty, as in this case:

Only child

If you are a fan of modern enamelling, you know what an “only child” is in the term used in the “world of manicures”. For those who don't know, this style is where four nails on one hand have a single color and decoration and a single nail has another color or design/stonework.

This nail model is super popular and there are many possibilities to create it, just like French nails. We have selected several ideas for you to do or ask your manicurist to do on short nails. See below!
