Your Colored French Experience

Precision artistry meets total relaxation

Arrival & Relaxation

Welcome to Skin Lounge Spa. Upon entering our Boca Raton sanctuary, you will be greeted with a refreshing beverage. We invite you to decompress in our lounge before your nail technician escorts you to a comfortable manicure station.

Consultation & Color Selection

The magic begins with a choice. Your technician will help you select the perfect shade for your tips—whether it’s a neon summer vibe, a deep winter burgundy, or a soft pastel. We will also discuss the base color, which is typically a sheer nude or pink to create that coveted contrast.

The Treatment

We start with meticulous cuticle care and nail shaping to ensure the canvas is refined. Your technician then applies the base coat followed by the precision painting of the colored tips. This step requires a steady hand to ensure symmetrical, crisp smiles lines on every finger. We finish with a high-gloss top coat to seal the deal.

Hydration & Aftercare

Once the polish is set, we treat your hands to a nourishing massage using hydrating lotions and cuticle oils. You’ll leave with hands that feel as soft as they look stylish.

Typical Colored French Tiers

Choose your preferred durability and finish

Classic Lacquer

The traditional manicure experience using high-quality standard nail polish. This is perfect for those who like to change their nail color frequently or prefer easier removal at home. It provides a beautiful shine but requires patience to dry fully.

Gel / Shellac

Our most popular tier. We use a UV/LED cured gel polish that dries instantly and remains chip-free for up to two weeks. The colored tips stay vibrant and glossy, making this ideal for vacations or busy professionals who need their manicure to last.

Structure Gel Overlay

For clients needing extra strength, we apply a builder gel base before the colored French design. This promotes natural nail growth and prevents breakage, providing a durable foundation for your art.

Add-Ons & Upgrade Requests

Paraffin Wax Treatment

Dip your hands into warm, soothing paraffin wax to lock in moisture and soften the skin—a savior for dry Florida hands.

Collagen Gloves

Slip into UV-protective collagen-infused gloves during your manicure for an anti-aging hand treatment that hydrates deeply.

Nail Art Accent

Elevate your Colored French by adding a single nail design, such as a thin glitter line, a gem, or a double French line for extra dimension.

Gel Removal

Safe and gentle removal of old gel polish to ensure your natural nail plate remains healthy and undamaged before your new application.

Elevate Your Ritual

The Art of Total Rejuvenation

While your hands are treated to the chic precision of a Colored French, why not curate a complete sanctuary experience?

To maximize your time at Skin and Lounge, consider revitalizing from within via a nutrient-rich IV Drip during your treatment, or linger a little longer to dissolve tension with a therapeutic Massage. Transform your appointment into a holistic journey of beauty and wellness.

Common Questions About Colored French

What is the difference between a regular French and a Colored French?
The technique is identical, but the aesthetic is different. While a regular French uses a stark white polish for the tip, a Colored French utilizes any other shade—from black to neon pink—to create a unique look.
Does a Colored French manicure cost more?
Yes, typically there is a small upcharge compared to a solid color manicure because painting the 'smile line' (the tip) requires precision, extra time, and artistry to ensure symmetry across all ten nails.
Can I get a Colored French with short nails?
Absolutely. In fact, a micro-French (very thin colored line) looks incredibly chic on shorter nails and can actually elongate the appearance of the nail bed.
How long does a Gel Colored French last?
With proper application and care, a gel version should last between two to three weeks without chipping. The regrowth is often less noticeable because the base of the nail is usually a sheer nude.
Can I choose different colors for each tip?
Yes! The 'Skittle French' (where every finger is a different color) is a very popular and fun variation. Just let your technician know during the consultation so they can prepare the polishes.
Is the base always nude?
Traditionally, yes, but rules are meant to be broken. You can opt for a color-blocking look with a pink base and red tip, or a matte base with a glossy tip. The combinations are endless.
Is this service safe for my natural nails?
Yes. At Skin Lounge Spa, we prioritize nail health. We do not use harsh drills on the natural nail plate and use high-quality products free from harmful chemicals like formaldehyde.
How do I maintain the look at home?
Apply cuticle oil daily to keep the skin around the nails hydrated. If you have regular polish, add a clear top coat every few days to prevent tip wear.
Can I add nail art to a Colored French?
Definitely. Popular additions include a small gemstone at the base of the nail, a glitter line separating the tip from the base, or an accent nail with a full design.
Do I need to book in advance?
We highly recommend booking in advance, especially for evening and weekend slots, as our nail technicians are in high demand for detailed art services like this.
