Frenchmanicures are so classy and beautiful and they literally go withanything and everything. But did you know it’s not actually French?It wasn’t invented in France and not even by a French person. It’shard to pinpoint who exactly invented it because it seems to dateback to the 1800s, but in terms of who coined the phrase, there aretwo options.
MaxFactor (yes, that one) claims he created it for the fashionistas inParis in the 1930s.
Theactual term “French manicure” was originated by Jeff Pink, thecreator of brand Orly, in 1978. When he was in Paris he painted themodel’s nails and when he came back to the states he started tocall it French manicure. They later started selling French manicurekits. It became hugely popular after Hollywood started using it forconvenience. It takes ages to change nail polish colors on actressesso that it complements each wardrobe change but French manicure goeswith everything. And of course since Hollywood used it – it becamehugely popular around the world and still is to this day. Honestly,it’ll probably never go out of fashion.
