Italian Manicure: The Technique That Makes Even Short Nails Look Very Long

If you want your nails to look longer without having to wait for them to grow naturally, then the Italian manicure is a trend worth trying. Although the classic French manicure remains a favorite, its Italian "competitor" is gaining ground thanks to its elegance and ability to make even short nails look long.

The technique is based on precise placement of the color: the nail polish is applied very close to the cuticles, without touching them, while a thin brush with acetone is then used to create a minimal touch along the edges of the nail. This little trick creates the illusion of a longer and thinner nail.

For the best possible result, it is important that the cuticles are properly cleaned and well moisturized. This technique is especially suitable for people with short or wide/large nails.
