French manicure is already a classic. It looks elegant and gives a well-groomed appearance to your hands. In the classic version, a nude, mostly light pink shade is applied to the nail plate. The decoration of the design is a white smile that imitates the overgrown edge of the nail. However, it's time to experiment! Now we’ll show you ideas for original and trendy French manicures.

Black French manicure

If you like dark shades, you’ll appreciate black French. It looks restrained and luxurious at the same time. If you’re inspired by bright details, add sparkles to the black French. This manicure looks better on long nails.

Combined French

If you like both classics and bright nail art, you can choose a combined version of French. Cover a few nails with classic French colors - light pink and white, and paint a few other nails with shiny colors and decorate them with rhinestones. Such a manicure will lift your mood and won’t leave you unnoticed!

Colored French

Are you tired of classic designs? So we advise you to try colored French. You can choose any colors you like for it. Such a bright design will look most stylish in summer and spring. For the winter season, we advise you to choose more restrained colors.

Fan French

Perhaps this is the most striking and bold representative of the French manicure. Just a white or colored “smile” is no longer enough to decorate nails. Fan French is a manicure for which you can use a wide variety of materials: rhinestones, foil, dried flowers, mica, and many other options that come to the mind of a client or master.

Experimental smile shape

In this type of French, the main secret is in smile line variations. Instead of a classic arc in a non-standard manicure, you can draw a smile at the nail plate or tip, diagonal, wavy, and other shapes. It looks very original and stylish, so representatives of nail art regularly come up with new items in this direction.

Reverse French manicure

It’s also called a moon manicure. During this type of manicure, we put a "smile" on the base of the nail and paint the rest of the surface with black or another color you like.

Matte French

It’s popular due to its brevity and strictness. Variations of this French manicure type could be a glossy base of the nail and a matte smile or in reverse.

As you can see, there are many types of French manicures. You can search for exclusive designs online or come up with your idea. Don’t limit your imagination, and be unsurpassed! 

And doesn't matter if you do a manicure at home or in a salon, wear colored varnishes or don't do a coating at all - everyone has to take care of their nails, in one way or another. But the most important rules of nail care are quite simple! Never bite your nails, do not peel off gel polish yourself, and do not cut the cuticle to the point of bleeding.
