What defines baby boomer nails?

The baby boomer look is a further development of French nails. Instead of harsh lines, a soft transition is created between:

• Pink/Make-Up Gel or Color Gel (nail bed)

• White opaque (nail tip)

The effect:

✔ of course
✔ elegant
✔ Super wearable for everyday use
✔ Conceals ingrown areas

The baby boomer look is suitable for:

• Natural nail strengthening

• Gel nail modeling

• Acrylic gel modeling

• short and long nails
