It makes sense, then, that with minimalist manicures dominating as the most popular nail trends of 2025 so far, we’re seeing many nail artists looking for ways to upgrade the humble French tip for the year ahead.
We’ve already spotted the seriously glowy tinted French taking off, as well as the ultra-cool chrome French tips, but spring’s latest upgrade might just be our favourite yet.
Enter: the “iced French”.
A fresh upgrade to the original French manicure, Carmelina describes the look as being “clean, minimal and elevated with a subtle shimmer that gives a cool, frosted finish.”
Similar to the “angel” chrome manicure that emerged earlier in the year, it has an almost ethereal feel to it thanks to the soft, silvery colour palette and sheeny finish.
The real magic happens when the light hits it, says Carmelina.
It glows in the most understated, elegant way.
To start, a milky base is needed to keep everything feeling light and dream-like.
Carmelina is clear that the key to this look is opting for a milky white colour and avoiding a pink base.
Finally, finish with a “delicate French tip” as a nod to the classic manicure with a modern edge.
Any thin brush that you have on hand will work beautifully, Carmelina says.
Gel nail artist Nicole has created the most ethereal iced French manicure by pairing a milky base coat with a soft white chrome top coat.
Utter perfection.
Cat eye nails are known for their ultra high-shine finish, which means they pair perfectly with this frosty trend.
Created by Mélo Beauty Lounge, the square nail shape and almost holographic effect make for a seriously cool nail look.
Perfectly executed by luxury manicurist Laura, this looks like a classic French manicure at first glance but is elevated by an icy chrome top coat.
It's an upgraded version of clean girl nails.
Lauren Kay's soft and milky set has a subtle frosted finish that adds interest to a simple creamy French manicure.
These would make beautiful wedding day nails.
Make like celebrity nail artist Kim Truong and add a subtle layer of pixie dust shimmer to your set for extra dimension when it catches the light.
While the French manicure is characterised by its white tip, you can really play into the “iced” element by mixing up the colour.
We’re obsessed with the butter yellow shade that Sydney-based nail artist Britt has used here.
The ombré French — a seamless blend on the classic tip — is taking over nail salons.
