In the world of nails there is nothing written and in the world of French manicure neither. The 'french manicure' remains unbeatable despite the explosion of techniques and ways of painting and decorating our nails . Its minimalist, simple and elegant style is timeless and always exquisite. Undoubtedly, one of the best options to dress your hands with a touch of elegance, of which we never tire.
But the French manicure is also updated , and without losing its essence we have seen it in a thousand and one ways in recent years. Of different colors and even combined with each other, conversely, a half moon … Its strength is unstoppable and in 2020 it has once again given another twist: and it is called 'baby boomer' .
You'd better keep this name because it will be the one you ask for in your nail salon on your next visit. The 'baby boomer' manicure, also known as 'french faded', is equally minimalist and elegant, but with a clear difference to the traditional French manicure: it has a gradient effect thus ending with the famous traditional French cut between nude and the white of the nail tip.
Among the summer manicures of 2020 we have seen a nod to nude and subtly decorated nails , also to pastel colors and very discreet and elegant beads. And this will be the trend that we will continue to see throughout the next Autumn / Winter 2020-2021, although the universe of nails is so wide that there are as many forms of manicure as there are tastes and styles … This new 'baby boomer' trend is simple and elegant, and is taking off on Instagram.
HOW IS THE BABY BOOMER MANICURE MADE?
Baby boomers nails are basically a gradient between the pink, porcelain and white of the classic French manicure . The three colors blend together creating an elegant effect, which can be with a glossy or matte finish, and it adapts to all types of manicures (round, square, peak, shorter, longer …) . In all its versions, yes, they are very elegant and embellish the hands at the moment.
Its versatility is extreme and it is the ideal manicure for any occasion, even for brides and guests. But it is also a manicure that is easy to get used to, due to its polished finish, to be worn every day of the year and it looks just as good on natural nails as acrylic or porcelain . Being degraded, it also manages to space out visits to the nail salon .
The result is a natural and clean nail with flirty winks, which can also be given a touch of color, if desired, with pastel tones for a more summery version or more intensity with more powerful nude colors for autumn.
