Why Do They Call It a French Tip?
First, a little history lesson on the french manicure. You might be surprised at its origins — I was!
While we think of french nails as having been around forever, the look is relatively new. According to Women’s Wear Daily, the french manicure was invented in 1976 by ORLY founder Jeff Pink.
According to an interview with The National, Pink invented the manicure for film sets, when actresses needed a universal nail look that “looked good with every costume change.” He then brought the look to the Paris runways, and it was a huge success. He named it the “French Manicure” on his flight back to LA, and the name stuck.
