French manicures are one of the trendiest manicures nowadays, but have you heard about a different version of American manicure? Does American manicure ring a bell? There are two different ways to wear this pretty look. You might be wondering- “what’s the difference?” Well, everyone has their opinion, and they will give you a variety of answers. Our job is to make it as easier as possible for you.
French Vs. American Manicure:
There are more natural colors present in American manicures.
Unlike the strikingly pink and white shades in French manicures, you will see off white along with nude tones.

In American nails, the tips appear to be more natural. The tips are smaller, some have a blended look, and there are also round shaped nails.
The main difference is that the American nails look rather natural and subtle than that of the French manicures.
You can opt to wear the design for many events such as weddings and choose a variety of art for your nails too.
