What Is the Glow French Manicure?
Imagine your classic French manicure, but with a fresh, spring-ready upgrade. Instead of the traditional neutral pink base, the Glow French manicure features a sheer, jelly-like polish—typically in soft peach or delicate pink—that enhances your nails with a radiant, healthy glow.
