Bridal and prom season brings a wave of French manicure clients who want a flawless application with a perfect smile line and worry-free, smudge-proof wear even if they come in a day or two ahead of the big event. With Dashing Diva’s French Wrap Plus, which lasts up to two weeks, you can supply all of that and more.
Dashing Diva’s French Wrap Plus system is truly innovative—and I don’t throw around that word very often. Essentially, it is an appliqué of sorts that is encased in a plastic housing. After the bonding glue is applied, the nail fits right into the plastic and bumps against a little edge so you know it’s in all the way. After it’s secured to the nail, a toenail clipper removes the housing in seconds. Finish with a base and top sealer, and you’re done! The perfect (really, it’s perfect!) smile lines, every single time, for a non-chipping, long-lasting French manicure.
