Sounding more exotic usually enables one to charge more for an otherwise mundane product.
This form of manicure was actually made famous in the US. The reason why is called french is to give it an exotic name. Same reason why lots of products use ';European'; in their name.

French manicures, an idea originated in Paris in the 18th Century , are characterized by a natural pink base nail with white tips. It resembles a natural nail. The tips of the nail are painted white while the rest of the nail is polished in a pink or a suitable nude shade.





An American manicure is a French manicure with beige tips rather than pure white, and clear pink polish over the nail.
they originated in france duh!
cos the french are reknown for being polished - having finesse, therefore have very clean looking fingernails prehaps?
