Groovy French Manicure For 2024

As fall 2024 unfolds, we’ve witnessed an explosion of exciting nail trends. Ranging from classical elegance to bold statements, there’s sure to be something suitable for all this season.

Take your classic French manicure one step further with this fun twist. A cooler base color makes this style ideal for fall and winter; try baby blue for an icy version.

Swirl Nails

Are you searching for ways to add some vibrancy and dimension to your French manicure? Consider swirl nails – popular during the ’80s, these curved designs combine movement and color for an eye-catching artistic aesthetic.

Swirls are one of the easiest nail art trends to master, yet can become especially impressive when applied with intricate details. This twinkle star design shows just how easily an otherwise basic look can be elevated by adding just a few rhinestones and nail glue (or even fingernail polish!).

Swirls look stunning on short talons, making them an excellent option for ladies not ready to commit to full glitter manis. To try this look at home, simply paint your nails a milky white base color before using either a thin nail art brush or the sharp end of a cuticle pusher to draw swirl lines in another shade.

Mono-Crystal Mani

This unique French manicure adds an eye-catching, fresh spin on an iconic nail trend. By using Skittles as the foundation of its design, this petaled effect looks adorable and chic for summer; while using similar colors can create an icy wintertime appearance.

Nail artist Harriet Westmoreland is the master of this look, creating intricate micro French tips with two distinct colors at the tips of each nail – making her masterpiece both modern and edgy!

Taken one step further, this design takes the ombre trend one step further with a gradual fading from pink to white for an earthy yet sophisticated effect. Go for either a classic pink ombre or something bolder like blue with sunset-inspired tones for maximum impact – these nail art trends go well together.

Chrome Nails

For a look that fuses modernity and playfulness, try a multicolor ombre chrome French manicure. This look works especially well on square-shaped nails; its striking sage green hues or rainbow-themed options.

Or you can experiment with changing up the shape of your tips instead. From glamorous crocodile designs like Jess Brush’s to subtle pastel dot patterns, there are numerous fun tips styles available that can add an eye-catching pop of color and add dimension.

Editorial manicurist Miss Pop suggests this look is ideal for wearing during the holidays and special social events, and can even be achieved at home using metallic gel polish and pro chrome powder. She advises using a base coat prior to applying any chrome, in order to safeguard natural nails against being damaged during application of chrome.
