Whats the difference between a manicure and a french manicure?

Nicole asked:
I’m thinknin about getting my nails done this weekend, but whats the difference between manicure and french manicure? Yesterday I went to cut my hair, I love that hair salon place, Asain people know just how to cut your hair, I just barely started going to that place like 2 months ago, and anyway she said if i wanted to get my nail and pedicure done, because they have this speacial deal going on where if you get your manicure and pedicure you get free flower designs. But I’m wondering is manicure the same thing as french manicure? ‘Cuz what I want is those white french tips, but not sure if thats what a manicure is? I was filing my nails and then i stopped to think, Wait what if a manicure is where they just paint white tip on your natural nail and i dont want that. I mean my nails are really long, except too they broke so they’re like really short. And I remember like three years ago I went to this other nail salon place and I forgot what I asked but they placed a white fake nail tip, I guess thats what i would call it, on my nails, and then they put this liquidy stuff on it and they looked like french nails, and I asked for a pedicure and manicure But i remeber that there was some misunderstanding that she did that to my nails, and for the pedicure she drew in the white tip with white nail polish. So again whats a manicure and pedicure and is it the same as a french manicure whats the difference? thanxs so much.

A manicure can be anything, it just means getting your nails pampered and painted. A french manicure involves two layers of paint, with a white line at the tip of the nail.

It is just an advertising slogan. People will pay more if something is French. It is the same..
