Before sending a photograph with “I’d like these French tips,” check which designs stay on the tips and which run along the nails. This example, featured in NOZOMI’s 23 October 2026 post on BARON Shinsaibashi’s official blog, mixes pink French tips, black dots on white tips and white stripes. The patterns do not all cover the same area.
The black dots sit inside the white French-tip area
On the dotted nails, the pink-beige area towards the base is left without the pattern. The black dots are on the white tips, rather than spread across the whole nail. If you crop this photograph for a reference, keep the boundary between the white tip and the base visible—not just a close-up of the dots.
The bright pink French tips also leave a curved area of the base colour visible. If you like them, identify both the pink colour and how much of the tip it covers. A different nail length may call for a different tip width; that is something to discuss, not a detail to assume will stay unchanged.
The white stripes are not confined to the tips
The striped nails show white lines extending from near the base towards the tip. They are not simply stripes inside a French-tip section. Describing every patterned nail as “art on the tips” would miss this distinction.
For this reference, you could say: “I want the black dots inside the white French tips, but I like the white stripes extending along the nails.” This separates the two areas without requiring you to name a technique or specify how the salon should create it.
The black dots and pink round decorations are different details
On the striped nails, the pink round decorations look raised. They are a separate element from the black dots on the white tips. Asking to “keep the dots” alone could refer to either one.
Instead, identify the colour and position: “Please keep the black polka-dot pattern; I would like to discuss the height of the pink round decorations.” The photograph does not confirm the materials, method or current availability of identical decorations.
A short message to send with the photograph
I would like to visit the Shinsaibashi salon. I like the black dots inside the white French tips and the white stripes extending along the nails. Could we discuss the height of the pink round decorations? I will also send my preferred length and a photograph of my current nails.
Use BARON’s official LINE and specify the Shinsaibashi location. Confirm the suitable service, appointment duration and total including any removal required. Check current booking information on BARON Shinsaibashi’s booking page; the salon page provides location information.
Sending a reference is not a confirmed appointment. An identical result or the availability of identical parts is not guaranteed.
