How long should my nails be for a manicure? -
25-08-08, 10:23 PM
I finally stopped biting my nails. (only took 18 years!) and want to go for a *real* manicure. I've had acrylics done before but since I have my own nails, I want to get a french manicure and was wondering just how long my nails should be? Currently their just about 1/4 of an inch over my fingertip
Thanks!!

for a french manicure you need to some length over the finger tip but it really doesn't matter how long they are as long as there is some natural white a tech can create great french tips with a french white polish
 . Your's sound more than long enough hun

sounds fine .
its important to realise that manicuring is not just about the polish finish. a good manicure can drastically improve the overal look of the hands and nails, even the shortest nails. additionally combined with a good aftercare regime and regular visits you will be able to acheive longer stronger nails and better skin. well done for kicking the habit, thats a great acheivement.

they sound perfect to me....french gives the illusion of length so for me clients only need a little free edge to create a lovely french finish.
well done on kicking the habbit..

Yes, well done for stopping nibbling. The only thing that stops me is having enhacements on. If I don't, next thing I know I have no free edge left on any of my nails!
