Nail Art Trend in Thailand: French Manicure
The nail art that took over as this season's biggest trend in the US is also having its moment in Thailand. Manicurists at Glitterati Nail Lounge say they have been receiving more requests for the french manicure. They've created classic versions of the look, as well as edgy iterations that use different colors — like turquoise — in place of white tips.
