American manicure??

[elmo]

A lady asked me today if I do an American manicure? She said its with a darker pink. Never heard of it myself.
What colour would I use in Gelish to achieve this? X

Hi Hun,

Not sure about gelish colours as I don't use it but an American manicure tends to be a more pinker pink and a bright bright White. Where as the French is more of a natural pink and White.

An American Manicure is a clear pink with a natural looking tip. In Shellac, it would be Clearly Pink with Studio White.

I'm sorry, I don't use Gelish so I'm not sure what colors are similar. HTH!

Spot on, Deanosnana! I used to use the official American Manicure polish range, made by a company called American Manicure. It was a beautiful, natural-look polish - the softest, natural-creamy tip and a clear pink tint. x

Ah right, I'm really glad this has been cleared up because I've always been told and taught that the American was bright and French soft!!

Personally I prefer the softer look and use studio White and negligee in the shellac.

I've used that product, too and LOVE the natural look of it.

Actually reverse. French is bright pink/white; American is soft pink/natural tip.

i would have thought gelish colours u would use snow bunny for the tip not entirely sure on the pink? maybe little princess or i think u could mayb get away with simply sheer, id possibly have a look on the gelish group??
