Which Manicure Is Always In Style?
Manicures can be more than a simple matter of nail polish color and shape; their choice should reflect both your personality and style.
Gigi Hadid can often be seen wearing the classic French mani, which can also be found on Selena Gomez and Kourtney Kardashian among many other stars. This versatile look remains timeless.
The French Manicure
When it comes to manicure trends, there is an array of choices available to you. While vanilla chrome nails or mermaid tips might catch your fancy, one look has proven itself time and again: The French manicure.
Even though a classic French manicure may appear simple to perform, it actually takes steady hands and exceptional precision to execute correctly; otherwise it could result in disastrously disfigured nails!
As such, many stylists have modified the iconic French mani to make it more accessible for everyone. An option that has proved effective in doing this is the invisible French mani; which features an unobtrusive line of polish to outline its signature tip instead of white or another hue.
The Upside-Down French Manicure
With this trend, the classic french manicure gets an exciting makeover. Instead of featuring a classic white tip, the nail‘s rounded end will be painted in an intense dark shade which extends beyond its cuticle line and covers more surface area than it typically would.
Minimalists will love this chic alternative to your everyday mani! Make the tips stand out by using clear or nude base color that closely resembles natural nail color for optimal results.
Nail art is an effective way to add flair and personality to any look, including classic French manicures. Combining two popular trends can create eye-catching effects like this neon green and black combination; we particularly like it as it echoes Shego from Kim Possible for an adorable feminine touch!
The Butterfly Manicure
Transform your nails into a whimsical butterfly-flitting landscape for an artistic nail look that exudes nature and connection with the natural world. Add an element of charm with glitter and rhinestones.
This manicure will definitely draw compliments with its glittery and glamorous style. The baby pink polish and sparkling rhinestones make it standout from other looks.
Dark nail colors are becoming less popular and lighter hues have made more of an impression than ever. Add an unexpected and captivating flourish to your French tips manicure by adding an abstract butterfly design – using only half of a wing on each nail gives this manicure an eye-catching and whimsical aesthetic!
The Glossy Short Manicure
Hailey Bieber, Kourtney Kardashian and other celebrities have shown us that short nails are back in fashion. Perhaps this trend stems from practical reasons: touring musicians like Taylor Swift need manicures that won’t crack under strumming their guitar each night, and long nails could easily break.
Still, this trend could also have to do with the “clean girl” aesthetic that everyone’s gravitating toward recently. Either way, a classic manicure with thin French tips always looks on point.
The Light Pink Manicure
Pink nails can be the ideal solution when you don’t feel like rocking dark colors or nail art designs. From cotton candy and ballet pink hues, through fuchsia magenta and hot pink shades, there are endless feminine pink options that look classic AF.
Add an eye-catching contemporary touch to your pink manicure by applying rhinestones to the tips of each fingernail, guaranteed to turn heads at any event! This bold look is sure to stand out!
If you like more is more, try a set of pink coffin-shaped nails with hot pink chrome tips – this style epitomises coquette nails while tapping into Hailey Bieber’s beloved crocodile print manicure trend!
The Gray Manicure
Embark on an experiment in chic, glamorous manicures by trying ombre gray nails – this trend perfectly balances between dull overcast weather and glamour!
If a light gray polish is too dull for your taste, try Chanel’s Steel a Kiss as a shimmery silver shade that offers major color payoff. This beloved shade strikes a balance between purple-gray hues while still boasting major shimmer and shine.
Gabrielle Union recently posted an Instagram photo featuring a closeup of her hands that showcases an unexpected grey shade for her French manicure – perfect for what remains of winter while transitioning beautifully into spring!
