French manicure has long been considered one of the most popular manicures. There are a large number of options: with an unusual smile, classic, color, gradient. This season, nail industry masters offer the fair sex a large number of different design options. It is in summer and spring that French manicure is updated with various colors and shapes.
What is a French manicure?
French manicure is a nail design in which the “smile”, or rather the tip of the nail, is decorated with a strip of different colors and thicknesses. In classic French manicure, the “smile” is done in white. The rest of the nail is covered with clear or nude polish. Initially, French manicure was called "natural manicure". Later, marketers renamed this design "French", timed to coincide with a fashion show in Paris. Seeing such a manicure on fashion models, all fashionistas picked up an unusual trend.
The hit of the year is the addition of French manicure design. You can decorate a French manicure with rhinestones, a pattern or sparkles, make a “smile” of any color or make it any shape.
French manicure on short nails
A rounded square or square is the most optimal form of short nails for a French manicure. It is worth adhering to the rule: the “smile” line should be thin so as not to visually shorten the hands and nails themselves. At the same time, the “smile” itself can be of a different color - white, black or bright neon.
The design for short nails in French manicure should be chosen carefully.
If you still want to decorate and complement a French manicure, decorate one or two fingers with the design.
French manicure on long nails
This season, French manicure is also relevant on long nails. You can make any thickness of the "smile". You can also experiment with its shape. Due to the length of the nails, it is worth decorating the surface with any design - drawings, stickers, rhinestones, foil or sparkles.
Oval nails and french manicure
A French manicure with a sophisticated design is ideal for an oval shaped nail. The shape and width of the "smile" can be any. The trend of the year is uniqueness and individuality in manicure.
French manicure on square nails
French manicure on square nails ideally hides the clear corners of the plate, visually making the corners softer and sloping. If the nails are short, then the nail plate can be decorated with decor. This step will visually lengthen the nails. If you have chosen an abstract drawing, it is worth placing it vertically or diagonally. A vertical strip of rhinestones in the middle of the square nail plate will look stylish.
White french manicure
White French manicure is not only a well-known classic, but also a good base for any design. The basis for such a manicure is made transparent or natural. It is these colors that are ideally combined with any other design and decor.
Black and black and white French manicure
Black French manicure looks elegant. Many women of fashion do not dare to choose such a color scheme, fearing that in this color their manicure will look gloomy and boring. At the same time, contrary to all stereotypes, a black French manicure with a thin and clear “smile” line looks stylish and impressive.
A black and white French manicure is perfect for everyday looks. If such a manicure is decorated with sparkles or a pattern, it is ideal for any solemn and festive occasion.
Bright colored French manicure
A bright trend of the summer is considered a bright French manicure. The "smile" in such a manicure can be varied - red, blue, green or even bright neon. Fashionistas have no limits in this. Another bold and unusual version of the French manicure is different colors of “smiles” on the hands.

Currently, girls are offered a huge number of different nail design options. This season, the trend is to make the base of the nail plate light pink or transparent. You can and even need to decorate such nails with various stone applications, silver or gold strokes, drawings and stickers.
Glitter French manicure
French manicure is often decorated with glitter or sequins. With the help of such details, a manicure is created not only for special festive events, but also for everyday looks. Glitter in a French manicure will help make it more elegant and sophisticated, as well as enhance the contrast. Sparkling particles decorate the "smile" or other part of the nail. Do you want to make a fantasy-style manicure? Use the maximum amount of glitter and sequins.
Reverse French Manicure
If you want something unusual, but are afraid to take risks, then just turn the French manicure upside down. The basis of such a manicure is the drawing of the entire nail with a base or transparent color, and the hole near the root of the nail is painted over with white or colored varnish.
Ombre and french manicure
More recently, the masters of the nail industry began to use ombre when creating a French manicure. In such a manicure, a horizontal stretch of color is made. "Smile" is made from one or more shades. Also, stretching in French manicure can be done vertically or even horizontally. In this case, the “smile” is made contrasting with the main color or similar. The best option in this design would be if the “smile”, or rather the border of the nail, is thin and repeats the shape of the tip of the nail.
V-shaped French manicure
In spring and summer, the V-shaped French manicure has become a favorite. The tip of the nail in this design is made sharp. It can be painted in one color or be in different colors. It is worth playing with the gradient in this design. Believe me, this manicure will surprise you.
