  intro: "The french manicure has been declared dead and revived so many times that at this point it lives outside trend cycles entirely. What's changed is the execution. The thick, opaque white band of the 1990s has given way to a spectrum — sheer pink bases, ultra-thin micro tips measured in millimetres, reverse french that exposes the smile line in reverse. The geometry of where the tip sits, how thick it runs, and whether it follows the natural smile line or cuts across it at an angle changes both the apparent length of the finger and the overall register of the look. Below is everything we've published on the subject: construction, polish selection, gel versus classic, and how small decisions in tip placement resolve into very different results.",

  defn: {
    h: "What 'french manicure' actually covers",
    body: "French manicure describes any nail look built on a pale, sheer, or nude base with a defined, contrasting tip. The classic version uses an opaque white tip on a sheer pink base. Micro-french narrows the white band to 1–2mm and often uses a sheer or off-white shade rather than stark white. Reverse french exposes the lunula — the pale moon at the base — as the accent zone rather than the tip. All three share the same structural logic: a clean dividing line between base and accent.",
  },
  myths: [
    { m: "The french manicure only works on longer nails.",
      t: "Tip placement is what determines the effect on length. A very thin, curved micro-tip on short nails reads as elegant, not stubby. The mistake is applying standard tip width to short nails." },
    { m: "Stark white is the correct colour for the tip.",
      t: "Stark white is one option — it reads as the most classic and graphic. Off-white, ivory, sheer nude, and even pale pink tips all qualify as french, and most read as more wearable in natural light." },
    { m: "Gel is easier than polish for the french tip line.",
      t: "Gel has a longer work window and self-levels, which helps. But the tip line in gel is harder to correct if the first pass goes wrong. Polish dries faster but wipes clean instantly. Both work — the technique differs." },
