French Tip
The classic pale-pink base with a crisp white (or coloured) tip line — endlessly reinvented in cherry, candy and ombré versions.
Trend context
Key fact
The French manicure is a perennial top-10 search; 2026 variants like cherry and candy French drive the trend.
How to get the look
Paint a smile line of white or a soft tint at the free edge over a sheer base, keeping the curve even with a fine brush or guide. The classic motif is defined by a clean, consistent tip across all ten nails.
How to wear
French tip pairs with everything (tailoring, gold, and any outfit) for work or events. It reads polished and timeless; wear almond or squoval so the smile line stays even and elegant.
