'American' - Style question

[Leamaria]

Hello everyone. I'm quite new to the nail industry. I studied with NSI, finished my course in attraction L&P but still need practice and the final exam.

I have a question for you, I'm new to the UK (from America) and I met a lady the other day who said she does "Americans" I don't have a clue what she is refering to. What are american style nails here in the UK? I had my nails done many times in America, usually sculpted, but they seem to be the same as what I have been taught to do here.

would she be refering to the american manicure polish?
cream tip with a translucent pink over the top?

Maybe that's what she was refering to.. I was just wondering if I had missed something really obvious. She said americans were quite thick (the nail style not the people)

perhaps she could be refering to the flared look of nail extensions which seems to be gaining popularity in the u.s.

when i was in the u.s recently they called my stiletto shape nails "russian style"

any way, i dont think you are missing anything. i would think thta its this particular techs own terminology.
