Definition Of French Manicure

The traditional French manicure features white tips which are accentuated by a natural looking flesh, pink or peach colored base.
Popularized by high fashion and popular celebrities during the last century, it continues to play a role in fashion trends today.
Some manicures may include the application of artificial nail gels, tips, or acrylics, some of which are referred to as French manicures.

More About Essie Bahama Mama
Bahama Mama is a warm, rich, creamy deep plum. It can also be described as a deep purple with a berry undertone.
Anytime of the year is the right time for warm deep plum polish.
Essie Midnight Cami Blue - Essie - All Rights ReservedA tropical beauty, Bahama Mama, is creamy and rich. This rich hue works winter, spring, summer or fall – gorgeous is always in fashion.
This is one of those colors everyone needs to have in her arsenal. It's such a sophisticated deep wine that is so flattering on so many different skin tones.
The finish is creamy and I didn't find there to be much streaking. Beautiful for the colder seasons and adds just enough color.
Some experts believe BM is like a lighter version of Wicked. It's great for both casual and dressy occasions. I'd definitely recommend giving this a go!
