French Manicure

To be honest, traditional French nails are a bit outdated and aren’t in trend now, so if you want a classic feel, prefer some fresh takes on such nails. For example, go ombre French or try half moon whites for a reversal look. Add little rhinestones for a chic feel or make the manicure matte – this way you’ll get an edgy feel at once.
