What is the new trend in French manicures?

The deep French manicure is a retro revival that’s about to take over as one of the most-requested styles in nail salons. The style is delightfully retro and characterised by the way that the classic French tips extend even further down the nail bed than usual, meaning the look is sometimes referred to as a “thick French” manicure. Think of the deep French manicure as the glamorous sister to the classic French. Unlike the traditional thin white line that traces where your nail naturally extends above the nail bed, the deep French features a thicker, curved white band that reaches much further down the nail. This creates much more of a pronounced contrast between the sheer pink or nude base shade and the white of your French tips. A deep French tip nail is a lot more complex than a regular or skinny French, the attention to symmetry has to be on point; one wrong move and the French can suddenly look totally off and change the dynamic of the entire nail. If you’re a pro or have a real eye for detail, then free-handing the tip — carefully painting a thick, curved line halfway down the nail bed before filling in the tip is recommended. Free-handing the tip can be done by flipping the client's hand over to face straight on to make sure everything is looking even. There are also tutorials online where nail artists use grids or specific line placements to help you get that perfect deep French look.

The barely-there French manicure is all about making your nails look as natural and healthy as possible. It features a "barely-there" French tip that blends in beautifully with the rest of the nail, creating this subtle yet polished finish. It also features a glossy, high-shine effect that enhances the entire manicure. This trend works for all nail shapes and is perfect for a natural yet polished finish. The subtler, the better in my opinion. The ideal trend for any minimalists out there. This manicure is great for summer, but it will also see you through every single season. There's no denying how healthy it makes your nails look. The great thing about this trend is that it's easy to recreate at home.

The "Curved" French manicure is a style where the French tip extends all the way around the nail bed in a perfect loop. Celebrities like Jennie Kim and Dua Lipa have worn the trend recently. This fall, the "Curved" French manicure is trending. You can spot the look by simply following the curve—if a regular French tip doesn't stop at its normal point on either side of your nail bed and instead extends all the way around, you've got a Curved French. To put it another way: Think of a normal French tip, then think of reverse French, then connect them. The trend first started to ripple again earlier this fall when nail artist Zola Ganzorigt crafted a red and white version for Jennie Kim. OPI called it a "C-French" design, describing it as "Sleek, shiny, and undeniably chic, C-French is the new take on a French twist.
