Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this design 'American'?
The term refers to a very clean, classic, and understated style of manicure popular in American salons, often emphasizing natural-looking nails and simple elegance.
How can I make my American Nails last longer?
Regular application of cuticle oil, wearing gloves during chores, and reapplying a top coat every few days can significantly extend the life of your manicure.
Is this design suitable for all nail shapes?
While it looks best on square or squoval shapes, it can also work well on oval or almond-shaped nails.
What kind of top coat is best for this design?
A glossy top coat will enhance the clean and polished look, but a matte top coat can also provide a modern twist.
