Why is the name a francesinha?

The francesinha nail gained fame with the clear nail polishes, with the white tip, giving a greater highlight. The style began to appear in fashion shows in Paris. Therefore, in other countries they started to call it “French manicure”. In Portuguese, the expression was freely translated as francesinha.

Over time, new versions emerged, including the black francesinha. Today there are several possibilities to diversify!

Tips for making black francesinha without mistake

It is made in the same way as the white one, with light nail polish, changing only the tone used on the tip, which becomes black. Therefore, it asks for a little more care than the white, especially not to smudge and leave the lines very straight. Here are some tips that can help:

• Cut a piece of masking tape in the desired shape, stick it on the nail, apply the clear nail polish, then remove the tape and paint the space left with the black nail polish.
• If you prefer, there are options for ready-made molds sold in cosmetic stores, to replace the tape.
• There are also stickers to make black francesinha, without the need to use nail polish – just an extra shine to finish.
• If you choose to use nail polish, practice a lot to get more skill and firmness in the line.
• Always wait for the bottom nail polish to dry completely before applying the layer to make the francesinha.
• Start with the simplest styles and then try new ones.
• Follow the shape of the nail, whether rounded or more square and straight.
• Cut some bristles from the brush to apply, this makes it easier when making the details.
• Use a nail stick instead of a brush to apply the nail polish to the tips of your nails more precisely.
