How it was done

Technique: Wide smile, chrome tip
In the chair: 2 h 15

A French where the tip is chrome rather than white, which reads far softer in daylight than it sounds. The smile is cut deep and wide, almost a third of the nail, so the chrome has room to actually reflect something. Popular for weddings, including two where the bride said she wanted nothing showy.
