French manicure is destined to give you the clean, beautiful look you want. A French manicure features a clear, pale pink or beige polish over the entire nail, and white polish along the tip. The end result is healthy and vibrant. It is perfect for all occasions and all types of outfit. It gives an elegant diva look to your nails.

Paraffin manicure is mostly preferred for dry or overworked hands. Paraffin, or heated wax, infuses the skin with instantaneous moisture. It gives instant moisture and leaves your hand smooth.

Lakme

It is the one of the oldest brands for nail paints. It has shades from Metallic to Cream, it has lots of verity as well. Lakme is one of the most preferred brand’s by girls for their cool colors which ranges between 100 to 200.

Mostly preferred by teens and college girls. This brand is recommended because of the availability, quality and affordable price.

Instruction for best result

Once you have chosen the color applying the base coat would be the first step. It is very essential to use base coat because it helps to protect your nails from the chemical polishes. Now apply the polish. Top coat is not always necessary but if you want a perfect professional finish top coat must be used. It also helps the polish to last long.
