The Ultimate Celebrity-Approved Nail Art Trend For Summer
When Kylie Jenner, Rochelle Humes, and Margot Robbie show off their perfectly preened nails, all repping the same trend, you know it’s one to take note of. Sure, the French mani/pedi might seem like a controversial summer choice when we’re all about bright and neon hues, but it proves it’s not just for brides. In fact, it’s probably the chicest look out there and pairs perfectly with your entire summer wardrobe.
Kirsten White, founder of London Grace nail polishes explains, “the modern version of the French finish is more elevated compared to the bold and thick white tips that were popular in the 90s.” She suggests, “using a sheer base that matches your natural nail colour and a creamier white for the tips, the look is both chic and understated. Another benefit of this style is that regrowth is less noticeable, allowing for longer wear.” What’s not to like?

While you might’ve tried French tips on your fingertips already, you might need a little convincing about your toes, but it’s worth considering. “A French pedicure creates a fresh, clean, and universally flattering look, that I like to refer to as a ‘your toes but better’ aesthetic,” adds White. “You don’t need to visit the salon to achieve the look as it’s much easier to paint on toes rather than hands. Plus, with the thin French tip trend, toenails can be kept short and neat by following the natural white tip of the nail with polish.”
