Micro manicure tacky or classy?

[pregahes]

What do you think?

I quite like them!

Perfect.

French nails look hideous when the tips are tooooo white and tooooo thick.

Those are good.

Very nice.

Love this look!

I like that.

Definitely classy. I'd live my nails to look like that.

Very nice. I didn't know micro manicure was a thing, but quite fancy one now.

Why would they be considered tacky? Or classy for that matter?

Tacky nails: overcomplicated patterns with tiny gems or other fripperies attached. Different colours or designs on each nail.

Classy nails: classic plain colours, usually neutral, or a simple French Manicure as above.

They look great

Lovely. I want one now. Is it gel polish?

They look lovely.

Unnatural shapes such as coffin, stiletto or very long nails look tacky.

Certainly the opposite of tacky.

What do I ask for to get that? Is micro manicure a recognised term? Because this is 100% what I would ask for. I can't stand long and pointy, thick nails. I think these are short, neat and pretty, and my sort of nails!

Oh that's so pretty. Is it gels though? I am not going back to ruining my nails just to keep a salon in business. If this is just an 'old fashioned polish manicure' then I'm in.

Never heard the term.

I'm.so over coloured nails and think a French manicure is dated and aging - too much white tip. This is perfect. I'll be using your photo next time I'm getting mind done.

How could that be tacky? The top manicurists can produce a very delicate finish with gel like you see here. It’s micro because the nail is short with a very small tip. Thick, clumsy, gel nails are what’s tacky.
They look grubby.

The tip can be any colour or it can be reverse. It’s how nails should be in 2024. Delicate and chic.

@LaviniasBigBloomers its gel. The modern gels like bio sculpture, which this likely is, are good for nails.

Nice! Love a classy French manicure.

I like it too.

Absolutely perfect!

I love this look.
Do you think it's possible to have just the tips done with gel product and then use ordinary clear polish over the whole nail?
Then when they get too long you can just cut off the tip and don't have to have it professionally removed which ruins my nails.

Gorgeous. Just what I want when my nails are long enough.

@Bichette the whole nail is covered in gel. Both base and tip. It’s just so well done that it looks like there’s only clear polish. lWhen it grows off you can cut the tip off with clippers but it’s better to remove it all at once.
